Not to brag or anything but we have beautiful clothes in this family, especially my daughter because for some reason, we always get lucky with her size. We get them all at the thrift store for just a few dollars. We do pretty well at garage sales too, but I like the thrift store better. I wish I had better luck finding my husband suits there. He is 6 ft 4 in, 230 lbs and hard to shop for.

Blessings...

very well understood.

BOTH duckie & i are thrift shop/auction JUNKIES!

btw, my late wife made THE ALL-TIME BARGAIN purchase at a Dallas thrift store about 25 years ago.

she found a MINT-condition 100% HAND-brocaded gray silk-VELVET ladies riding habit with divided skirt,jumper,belt,lace blouse,boots,plumed top hat & parasol for the price of $35.oo total.(and would you believe it ALL fit VK, including the BOOTS ????)

the habit is circa 1890 and is NOW on permanent-loan to a textile museum in my home state! it's literally too valuable to wear!

NOTHING like that ever presented itself to me!

free dixie,sw
