Nothing new?

07.22.2011 by juliegumm@yahoo.com //

A couple days ago I noticed someone had found my blog by Googling the phrase “i would buy my kids clothes anywhere but the thrift store”. I’m sure they were sorely disappointed.

But my friend Kelley posted this video link of a TED talk and I thought it was pretty interesting.

I’m not sure I would be showing pictures of my underwear to the audience, and while her style is definitely different than mine I’m sure any one of us could accomplish the same thing.

    That was a great video. I love her philosophy. Last summer I made a commitment to only buy from Goodwill for a year (except underwear)and I’m proud to say that I’ve done it. I love love love the hunt and have spent very little money this past year and have found some amazing things.
