Excellent! Be sure to remind your savvy daughter that by reusing perfectly wearable clothes instead of buying brand new ones, she's helping the environment. :)Lunahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13097060425174328825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12171673.post-40812977051795589772008-05-17T19:49:00.000-04:002008-05-17T19:49:00.000-04:00My Elder and I don't hit thrift stores but we are ...My Elder and I don't hit thrift stores but we are pros at the clearance rack shuffle.

All too often the quality of the garment is the same as the no-name item.<BR/><BR/>And I always prefer to find clothing (oh, and all sorts of things!) second hand. Waste not, want not, and all that. heh. Now I'm sounding like my grandmother's generation.

Being no slave to fashion, that really sucked as far as I was concerned.<BR/><BR/>I really admire your kids, Ann.Alex Pendragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15877845166621794334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12171673.post-61602379874712954022008-05-16T17:43:00.000-04:002008-05-16T17:43:00.000-04:00You're sounding more and more like Granny Weatherw...You're sounding more and more like Granny Weatherwax every day.<BR/><BR/>DavidAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
