I love Friday's !!! Friday is normally my day off (yes, I get three day weekends) and I must say, I absolutely love that! It allows me more time for "any and all things creative". On most Friday's I like to lounge in bed a little longer, have a coffee, read a little...then venture out into the world of thrift.
This second post of Frugal Frenchie's Friday Finds (now that I've decided to make it a regular thing) will be a bit longer as I'd like to take you on a little "tour" of some of my favourite places, I hope you don't mind...it is just a short 10 minute walk from my front door, follow me...:)
There are a few thrift stores one of which is housed in a cute old church,
(remember: Thrift is poetic because it is creative; waste is unpoetic because it is waste)
and a great little old fashioned style "General Store" that sells used items.
cafes, restaurants and boutiques.

All are very close to the docks where fresh seafood can be bought right off the boat.
Not to mention the beach is right there...
It is a wonderful, historic little village with "oodles" of charm, and a great area to live in. I LOVE where we live.
Now, down to the "Nitty Gritty"....
