It's disheartening, but the hunt continues! Same thing here. Maple scented candles and tea dyed teddy bears made out of old American flags are not my bag. I went to an old haunt the other day. Used to be cool vintage stuff there but it has turned into a shabby joint. Find anything and paint it off white and then hit it with sandpaper! BAM!! now it’s shabby chic. The hunt will continue here as well.
