Announcement    I love thrift shopping and discovering treasures. As my best friend's grandmother used to say "Somebody needs this." And so I buy it. Etsy provides a wonderful means for connecting these treasures with the person who "needs them". Additionally, I love the fact that these items are kept from landfills, washed to softness, have a story, and over time they may have lost the chemical residues used in the manufacturing process. For those who cannot afford organic cottons for their children, thrift is a nice way to reduce your exposure to dyes and harsh chemicals. After purchase, I wash all garments in a very mild detergent. It feels like a win, win, win situation. I hope you love your new purchase. Bringing new life to a vintage piece is a beautiful way to express your uniqueness and make a bold statement.
