I LOVE thrift stores.
If you want to find even more stuff like that, check out list-alert. It searches your local Craigslist at night while you sleep and sends you one e mail with a summary of all of the things available based on your terms. I have my e mail set to come in at 5am every morning. It is the first thing that I read. For example, I have terms: quilting supplies; sewing; estate sale; viking; and procion (for dyeing). So when someone makes an ad for quilting supplies they are selling, you will get the ad and photos the next morning. It is great. You can select nearby communities. Hope this helps you find more gems.
