SPECTACULAR!! Thanks for re-purposing things we all have in our closets or can find in a minute at a secont-hand store. I'm SO PROUD of you for making this a real business for you. Good Luck and may 2009 bring cool ideas, abundant creativity and financial prosperity

@TalonToday - I hear you TalonToday...really. I can sense your excitement and certainly don't want to swash that by any means. If I had this much zeal for thrifting, I'd be designing my own clothing line, having it created in an offshore country, so that that particular country would have the employment and then bringing it back here and selling it to secure a living and that's it; all for the satisfaction of knowing I designed it and people are wearing it.

Have a super, blessed & safe summer

@SSFwinner what ARE you talking about? Its fun to go thrifting because you find things that are completely unique, and when you find something you are looking for it is much more rewarding than just buying something that they make in bulk. its recycling, our planet is dying, using fabric again instead of making new textiles is much more environmentally friendly. its cheaper. i could go on all day.

what is this "dream" you talk about? buying clothes that everyone else has sure isnt my dream.

How or better still, why do people get such a rush putting on other people's clothes, hand-me-downs, instead of taking on the real dream available to anyone who wants it and buying what it is they choose? Just because the trading time for dollars system is broke, does not mean there are not other, legal, and lucrative systems available to keep the dream alive. Change is inevitable, but change starting with self is worthy of applause.
