I also got hooked on thrifting in highschool. we moved to cincinnati my junior year and my mom and I began to make many trips to the salvation army and goodwill. but the best place BY FAR was thrift town (located in a slightly seedy area)... there were many locations but this one was the best. I never paid more than a couple of dollars for anything and came away with unbelievable treasures such as these: several accordian style polaroid cameras from the 1920s (99 cents), a dress from the 40s with stunning and intricate black beading (2 dollars), a crazy quilt made entirely out of old pajamas and pieces of lingerie (99 cents!)... oh, and so many more things. thrift town is now long gone and I have moved way south of cinci. those first trips are what made me a life-long addict and I don't think I've scored quite as well as back then (though I've come close). here in atlanta, I occasionally strike gold at value village and last chance thrift. don't get to go as much as I'd like so when I do, it's such a treat.<BR/><BR/>sorry to go on and on but your new blog has got me reminiscing. hope you don't mind me sharing my (rather lengthy) thrifting memories.andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15932895308629536422noreply@blogger.com
