Second Chance Treasures

On Saturday, I stopped in at

Second Chance Treasures

It is a quaint little resale shop

located  near Casa Linda

on Garland Road

The proceeds from this shop

benefit homeless pets

@

East Lake Pet Orphanage

(a non-profit no-kill animal shelter)

Here are just a couple treasures that caught my eye 

I love this ice bucket

I've been on a tight budget lately

so I didn't buy it

but

I'm saving my pennies

I also think I need this darling picnic bucket

Granted, I haven't been on a picnic in years

but

if I had this bucket, I'd picnic for sure

If you are in the area, check it out

It's for a great cause !

Wine Snob Confession #16
