And another blog about thrift stores.

Born and raised in Greenville, South Carolina. I married my high school sweetheart in March of 2012. Together my husband and I flipped an older mill village house that we now live in with our two dogs, Wriglee (Old English Bulldog) and Esso (Cheagle). My husband and I both work in non-profit organizations here in Greenville.

I work for a domestic violence organization that serves 4 of the upstate counties. My husband who is brilliant works in facility maintenance at another area non-profit.


We are simple people who are in the real world together taking on life's challenges as they present themselves. We have been a unit for going on 9 years and we are hoping to begin our newest journey as newlyweds with the possibility of children. We are "faithfully" embarking on the whole "kids thing" as he likes to put it. As I like to explain it, we are not...not trying. If that makes sense.


This blog is to capture a special audience of wives, girlfriends, fiances, husbands maybe, new moms and moms in general who like the majority of the United States saw your budget shrink lately, but your needs stay the same. Trust me when I tell you this blog is in no way shape or form going to talk about coupons, or spend less...it is simply to show you that the other members of your community have nice things, and those nice things get donated...I am here to show you the possibilities of being a thrift store junkie. Which as my mom likes to remind me I am becoming.


I truly never thought I would see the day that I would consider hurrying home to get the bag of items found at the local Goodwill in the house without anyone finding out I went shopping. (This seriously never crossed my mind as a possibility.) However it could be worse, which I remind everyone of from time to time.) I could be hurrying home with J. Crew bags...that would be bad.


Welcome to this adventure, I have been thrift store shopping for about 4 months now, like actively shopping at them. They used to allow me the perfect shop for those sorority functions where I needed godforsaken everything, and they had it and for those years I looked fabulous in the garb I found in the stores. Now they have become my mall, my online shoppe. They are a boutique within themselves, you just have to go in with the notion that someone else has gone to that boutique and now they have donated it.


Please enjoy, as I am sure I will not stop shopping at thrift stores even if you stop reading.
