Amazing the things you can find in a thrift shop. I love to go in them and look at everything. In all the years I lived in Illinois and many time went to Chicago I have never been to that thrift shop.

We have so many in Chicago. There’s like a thrift store in every single neighborhood. The ones to visit are the ones that are in the hipster neighborhoods or diverse mix of cultures.

Yes, of course. My neighborhood had an annual “leave free stuff on the curb” day recently and I drove but asked my friend to navigate because she is good at knowing which houses have the best stuff. It is a really good service because homeowners get rid of unwanted stuff, and people who want stuff get great things for free, and then anything not picked up is hauled away at no extra charge by the waste management company the next day.

Oh that is so cool. I wish we had something similar to that. I have a few things that I will love to set out for something like that.

Lovely post! I thrift sometimes and I sell used things. I wonder what interesting people buy from me! I remember a very intelligent woman working in a theater or a woman who bought my vase for a drawing school…

Very cool! And thank you! I would love to try and sell knickknacks to see how much value they have. I have a couple around my apartment that I would love to experiment with.

we really need to focus on reusing or repurposing

Yeah, I know. It’s so hard for me to throw things in the trash that can be recycled. One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.

I’ve always loved that line; not only is it true but it also lends itself to modification…

I always use that line. Its one of the quotes that fuel me to sell my unused things, or previously used things.

It is a solid quote any way you look at it

It’s so convenient shopping on eBay : )
I love to shop at thrift stores. I wrote a post once about an online discount site, that was like shopping at a thrift store. They had main brands with low prices. I forgot the name lol.

Cool! One of my favorite places to shop is a discount store. We have several around here : )
