I don’t know of any good LA thrift stores, but you can show me the ones you find when I come out there! ;)

I have always loved thrifting. It's always fun to find that special "treasure" that you know is an ultimate find & know one else will have it. I'm very fortunate that I have always lived around quite amazing thrift stores. So I decided to go to my favorite thrift store this morning. As I was wandering around the store looking for the most lovely items, I thought, I should do this a lot more often. I wish I could take 2010 & do most of my shopping at thrift stores. So you have inspired me even more now & I'm taking this as a sign that you wrote about it today. I actually did a post about a coat I found at the same thrift store. So far best find. And don't be ashamed that you have been able to buy brand named clothing. Now you can just miss match with all the thrify finds. So it’s a funny thing that you wrote about thrift stores today.

I just bought a pair of Cole Haan sunglasses there for $12, they were originally $92! Unfortunatley I have to drive down to Ohio to go, because I have yet to find one in Michigan. I think my favorite thing I ever thrifted was actually at a flea market here, it's this sterling silver cuff bracelet with a great hand stamped flower and vine pattern on it, I got it for $5. I also frequently buy old silver spoons at flea markets to make spoon rings out of. I lovee Marshalls. I just bought a pair of Cole Haan sunglasses there for $12, they were originally $92!

Sat, 09 Jan 2010 23:14:40 +0000 http://apricot-tea.com/?p=4083#comment-26417 I found the CUTEST little black dress in an Italian thrift store when I lived there and bought it for about three Euros. I still wear the dress sometimes, and it still fits wonderfully. And I definitely need to explore some of the thrift stores in my new town now. I wish I knew some place in LA for you to go!
