Love Your Second, Charity or Thrift Shop
Second hand shops are better than many department stores. I know, it is a bit of a strange statement but I actually think about our local second, or charity, shops as department stores. They have such a wide range of goods. We should all support our local second hand or charity shops.
Here are some of the reasons I support mine.
Part of the money taken goes to local charities. It is always nice to support a good cause.
Books, books and more books – I just love books and second hand shops normally have a good selection. Some of my best books have been bought in second shops.
Quirky stuff – it is so boring when our homes all look the same. Could you imagine if we were all forced to shop in IKEA? You can find some unusual stuff to decorate your home with in second hand shops. If it is not fully up to scratch, it is easy to dress it up a bit.
Clothes – clothes in second hand can be really good quality. I have found some wonderful stuff, and even designer labels. Amazing!!!
To be honest, I would love to write a book on how to shop in second hand stores, and show pictures of my best bargains.
