For Christmas I received $50 cash, so my plan was to visit some second-hand stores and see how far I could go with it. I shall call it my “50 Dollar Quest” mini-series and it will span into multiple posts until my money has been spent.  Store #1: Treasures of the Heart, Conway, SC – $5 spent Store #2: Recycled [...]

[UPDATE - Moozie's Closet CLOSED February 17, 2012. The owners cited that they were starting a new chapter in their lives and we wish them all the best as Moozie's Closet will be forever missed!] In sharing my blog with new friends, I was invited to go shopping with one of my newest friends, Karen.

I couldn’t pass the opportunity to visit at least one in this “green” state. So, I chose the Buffalo Exchange in Boulder, CO, which is a chain thrift [...]

I have decided that my favorite second-hand store is the Sunshine Shoppe in Chesterfield, SC. This is my second visit and it’s a hoot every time!
