Thrifting in Phoenix, An Urban Adventure

Dearest Reader,

Of whom your number is one (moi!) I have decided to log my thrifting adventures. Back when I was a wee one, the thought of being seen at a thrift store, garage sale, or the use of anything (gasp!) second-hand would be abhorrent.  Now I can't stand the thought of paying full price for anything. 

It all started with ebay...I read an article about this new site where you could actually purchase items from the internet. Weird, huh? I had my first account when most people had never heard of the site and the TOTAL listings were in the thousands.

Since then, I changed my email and lost my original account and the second one was screwed up by an evil boyfriend. My current one was started 1-24-1999 with 1313 positive feedback. I would sooner shoot myself in the foot than get a negative!

I now traverse Goodwill, Savers, thrift and antique stores with a passion. My fave finds are vintage whatevers and boutique clothing for the princess. I also have a favorite internet site or two and garage sales are the motherload of inexpensivity. I made up that word, cool; no?

I decided to start uploading some of my finds for posterity. Someday, maybe someone else will read this and give me some cool spots to check out!
