Thrifting for more than Furniture


I have found some great finds at thrift stores...my favorite pair of 501 button-fly levi's for a few bucks! I didn't even try them on...I mean who has time with kids in tow. They were only a few bucks. And if you're like me, by now you can pick up a pair of jeans...look at the seat and determine if they will fit or not. The boots are not from a thrift store, but from ebay. I know eewww gross! Not really. These boots were a find...and it's not like I'm putting my bare feet in them...new insoles work wonders. Brand new, they cost A LOT of dinero! My husband would FREAK if I bought them for retail. I BIG LOVE these boots! The BEST 35 bucks I ever spent!


I have a huge coat fetish. I buy lots of coats and jackets at the thrift store. This is my favorite find. I love this 1970's..."Christie Love" jacket! Makes you feel like a detective!
