Love the Bargains!

I have been going to thrift shops since I was in college. I was always able to find something that worked with my wardrobe that also fit my budget.
I think perhaps my best find was a 100% beige, 3/4 sleeve cashmere coat made in the 1940's. It was absolutely beautiful and I always received compliments on it.

I have always been fortunate to find shoes, sweaters and handbags that were of good quality, as well as other odds and ends, such as blankets, furniture or pots and pans that were in great condition.

I love the idea of buying something at a huge discount that is also a great find! I love the idea of making my money go further.

Sure, it is recycling, but it is also spreading the love!
