Thrifting in New Westminster

[blue_lotus13]

Yesterday I went out to New Westminster to do research for an article I'm writing about antique stores in the area. There's an actual row on Front Street and 6th called "Antique Alley". They've got a lot of neat collectibles, furniture, jewellery, etc. I really liked the Asian antiques they had. One store even had a sampan (Vietnamese boat??)! There weren't a lot of clothes, but there were a lot of dishes and small collectibles. I managed to pick up two cds for two dollars; the greatest hits of Bill Withers, and an Ike and Tina cd.

I do have several purchases I'd like to make when I have my own home/office. I want an antique typewriter, and a chaise longue. I also want to buy myself a kimono.
