My Nordstrom scarf was a Goodwill find.

I agree....half the fun is the hunt!

I have found a Susan Graver top and some Alfred Dunner and Jones of New York clothes for $3.75 per piece! This was at our local Goodwill. I have also seen some of Isaac Mizrahi shoes. Wasn't my size. This is where I do most of my shopping due to the area we live in. Very expensive. Happy Thrifting Ladies!

My two favorites are the brown suede and black leather skirt suits I bought a couple years ago for $15 each. Like new and still fit me perfectly.

Hooty ~ My finds were all at one of our local thrift shops. All of the proceeds go to help the developmentally disabled.

I went there this morning and they had an entire set of Currier & Ives dinnerware by Royal. They were gorgeous!!! Blue & white, and must of had at least 10 place settings. They were asking $95.00 for the set ~ the last thing I need are more dishes, but if I were in the market I'd be unwrapping dishes at the moment, lol!!!

Oh Jules, I don't need any more china, but I would love to find something like that.

HOOTY::: My Woolrich vest find was from a Thrift Store run by American Rescue. My kitchen is done in Tuscany and I've found many items there in excellent condition for use in décor.

There is a new large (very large) Community Aid Thrift Store located about 45 minutes from where we live. I hope to go there in the near future. They are located in a former Value City store. It's at least ten times (if not more) larger than the store in our town. I've been in it once and got a brand new summer house coat for something like $3.00. I will purchase washable items but not items that need to be dry cleaned. When I visit I'll be looking for Thanksgiving and Christmas décor items. Headquarters for this store are in PA.

I check out my local thrift shops weekly. Best find: Pendleton king size wool blanket in excellent condition for $ 5.00. Weekly check is to find afghans in excellent condition which I then wash and put aside for a church's annual bazaar. They make a lot of money with the chances folks take over the two- day picnic. Average cost to me: 4 - 6 dollars. Some of the afghans are king sized. Gorgeous colors too.
