Although I love thrifting at silly prices, I would certainly pay a lot more for a unique piece-can you imagine what your JP coat would cost in a french vintage shop-three figures, definitely!!Sharon Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15792904322725966887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4185133934790891461.post-64560054187464185382008-09-01T13:56:00.000+01:002008-09-01T13:56:00.000+01:00I adore that coat and it looks really fab on you. ...I adore that coat and it looks really fab on you.

There won't be amazing deals every time, but if you learn to enjoy the thrill of the chase, you'll find lots of great stuff. Anyone can take a wad of money into a mall and buy nice things. It takes patience, creativity and knowledge to do it at a thrift store.

I love how a shop can decieve, you look all around expecting nothing and then wham-a great bargain right there waiting for you!! The coat is a unique find and yes, maybe £40 is 'expensive' for a charity shop, but you'll never find a piece like this again, plus Oxfam have received a lovely donation from you too! Very well done-are you coverted now?Sharon Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15792904322725966887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4185133934790891461.post-4175972681049257612008-09-01T08:33:00.000+01:002008-09-01T08:33:00.000+01:00Wow!
