My love affair....

... with thrift stores has been going strong since I was a teenager. In high school thrift stores were a place to find funky clothes like bellbottoms or team logo shirts. In college our theater director turned me on to vintage thrift stores where treasures from the 30's & 40's were a steal.

Now I love to thrift store hunt for many things. I have outfitted my hubby with several Hawaiian shirts for work. He figures they make him wear collared shirts.....why not have fun with it??? I go to consignment sales 3x a year for my kids. This is like elite thrift store hunting! Only kids' items and all washed, properly labeled, and at FANTASTIC prices. For me.... I still go for vintage. I never go with any one item in mind but rather enjoy the exploration and eventual discovery of some artifact that will give my closet a boost. Recent discoveries include a cardigan for around the house, a cozy turtleneck for the holidays, and a vintage wool skirt.

I love me some thrift store hunting!!!!
