I have been so lazy and have not been keeping up with my blog! I vow to do better! I have been quite busy, so I do not lack the material to chat about on my blog. How many of you like a bargain? You do! Well so do I. Have you noticed the newest trend? It is thrifting! I have been thrifting for 30 years, and I still have the first coat I bought at the age of 20. Actually, my sister bought it for me for $10.00 from the Nearly New Shop in Jacksonville, Fl. It is a heavy wool lined gorgeous swing coat with a mink collar and nice big buttons. I still have that coat to this day. Any who, I digress, women are getting on buses and going from thrift stores to consignment stores to hunt for vintage and inexpensive gently worn, designer clothing. I have to admit it, I love shopping at these types of stores. You never know what you will find. In the mean time, let me introduce you to my first thrifted piece I purchased in 1979.

I can't wait to share with you my latest find at Goodwill. I promise I will keep you posted on how to get quality items at a bargain for you, your family, and your household.
