    Secondhand shopping — especially for clothes — is great for both your wallet and the world, and here’s why. First of all, you can wear fancy branded clothes from thrift stores for a fraction of the retail price. You can quite literally walk a mile in someone’s fancy shoes and save cash while doing it.

    Secondly, more people wearing and sharing secondhand clothing means less rubbish, less manufacturing new clothes, and a much happier planet. Way happier. According to Sheril Dsouza on Medium, it takes a whopping 1,800 gallons (that’s more than 6,800 liters for all you Europeans out there) to make a single pair of jeans!

    Lastly, trading secondhand clothes and items create stronger, more responsible and eco-conscious communities. That’s right. When you go to a thrift store to drop something off or to find a new wacky thingamajig for your office, you’re actively building a better future. You’re taking recycling to a whole new level. You’re encouraging your friends and family to care about the environment. If you’re ever in doubt whether something secondhand is fashionable, just remember: old is the new new.

    This Is Probably My Most Prized Find. This Is Billie Jean

    This Is Probably My Most Prized Find. This Is Billie Jean

    I’ve had her for a while. She has a back story. I drove past an antique store and saw her on the sidewalk out front. I instantly loved her. A couple days later, I drove past the same store and there she was. I thought to myself, “How has no one purchased that glorious goat?!?” I was trying to be good. I went home and later that day was scrolling through my news feed and there was a picture of her on Facebook! What are the odds?!?! I shared the picture on saying that I couldn’t believe that no one had purchased the goat. The post got a lot of traffic. I thought about that goat most of the day but I was balling on a budget. I broke down and called them to see if they still had her. When I called the guy said, “I don’t know what the deal is with that goat! I’ve gotten so many calls today!” He said that she was still there as of then. I got in the car and told my husband I was going to try and barter for her. He knew then, that I was coming home with that goat one way or another. Well, the owner wouldn’t barter because he had gotten too many calls. Ironically, the calls were because of me sharing her. (I have a decent following for my work). Someone had even paid a deposit down for them to hold her but hadn’t returned within the allotted 24 hours. Needless to say, I’m weak and wrote a check. He told me they called her “Billie”. I added Jean because she was mine and I could. I came home with her and then I was afraid someone would steal her because she was so awesome. I made her stay in the house for a week. I finally put her out front but obsessively checked for her every time I walked passed the window. I may or may not have installed security cameras because of this goat statue. Needless to say, she is part of the family now and the talk of the neighborhood.

    I am pretty sure that they are not real teeth. They are samples for the dentist to show you the different shades and shapes of teeth. They are for dentures or replacements. The one plate even says shades on it.

    We Purchased This Painting For $4 From The Local Flea Market A Year Or Two Ago

    We Purchased This Painting For $4 From The Local Flea Market A Year Or Two Ago

    I originally thought it was a print as it was only $4, but when I looked more closely I could see the delicate brushstrokes all over. The signature is very clear (and adorable. It includes a kitty) so I went looking around on Facebook for a D.L. Street and found him! An amazing artist and I cant believe we ended up with this beauty for FOUR dollars. I contacted him, sent a picture, and told him we bought this piece he painted in 1996. 23 years later, he remembered the name.

    I present to you, "On Three, The Prize".

    This *might* be an incense holder. If it is hollow right through to the mouth, you can burn those little incense cones inside it, and it will "smoke". And um put a stick of incense where the flower is.

    During the early 90's Robot girls were a big thing. A japanese artist that makes erotic art made a lot of these for big companies. That one in particular is a copy of a poster for a Coca Cola campaign.

    Makes you think how it got there.. Was it lost, found and given to that store? Did the person who owned it also died, their children not caring about their stuff just gave everything away?? So many questions..

    It's supposed to replace fireworks for small kids. If you put a piece of paper in the opening and slam the rubber part down, it makes a loud noise. I got one in an "alternative" fireworks package in 6th grade.
