		<description><![CDATA[What&#8217;s In? Thrift or Second Hand Stores, That&#8217;s What! I have frequented thrift stores for years. I have bought all sorts of stuff, and even clothes for myself and my kids. I also loved the treasure hunt of sorting through somebody else&#8217;s discards. But I never really liked to talk about it too much. If anybody ever complemented my kid&#8217;s rain coat or my new blouse, I certainly changed the subject before the conversation got around to where I had purchased the item! In my circles, it was awesome to donate to second hand stores, like The Salvation Army, but not so hot to talk about buying things there. Boy, has that changed in the last few years. Plato&#8217;s Closet, the name brand used clothing store for teens and young adults, has made it cool to wear used! My own brand conscious teen daughter has no problem picking up a gently used name brand top or pair of jeans for $16 instead of buying it new in the mall for $60. I would like to credit this to my good example, but I&#8217;m pretty sure it has more to do with the fact that her friends think it is ok. [...]

		<description><![CDATA[It Isn&#8217;t Your Father&#8217;s Thrift Store Anymore! I have to admit that I had a pretty negative view of second hand stores, of the sort run by various charities. I probably got the idea from a childhood memory of riding with my parents to dump off a lot of my old clothes and toys at the back door of a dusty old building. However, I got dragged into my local Salvation Army thrift shop recently, and let me tell you what I found! Tons Of Cheap Gifts at The Thrift Store! Bingo! I found a pair of silver (yes, silver) candlesticks for $3! Now, I&#8217;m a bit of a silverbug, and I know the shiny stuff is only about $10 an ounce now. Still, these tarnished darlings were marked, heavy, and the pair is worth at least $100. Once I took them home and polished them up they were beautiful, and made a very appropriate present for the biggest snob on my holiday list. Now that was a really lucky find, and I actually told the clerk about the silver content imprint, but she shrugged. I did stick a $5 in the donation jar, and bought a lot more stuff. [...]
