Had a lightbulb moment at the local thrift store last Tuesday

I was digging through a bin of old photo frames and found a set of unused chalk pastels wedged behind a broken lamp for $2. Now I always check the home goods aisle at Goodwill for hidden art supplies because people donate stuff in the weirdest spots. Anybody else scored art stuff from an unexpected place?

My buddy has been thrifting for YEARS and I always rolled my eyes at it. But last month I was at a Salvation Army and found a whole box of untouched Windsor & Newton pastels for a whopping 5 bucks. I grabbed them just to see what the fuss was about and now I get why people dig through that junk. It totally changed my mind about secondhand stores for art stuff.

Found a sealed set of 48 Prismacolor pencils at a Goodwill for $3.99 once.
