Thrift store finds--I buy new fine tablecloths, expensive cookware, hand made milk jugs-

I upcycle the fine linens into summer clothes, pillowcases, cloth napkins.

I gave away a Chinese embroidered tablecloth to a close friend and bought another one at a yard sale from my neighbor who has since passed away.--I sell my owned culled books, tapes and CDs at yard sale near me.

After cancer I am a bit late. I gave away items too big for me, such as large cans of food, and large slow cookers-- and also gave some to monastery. Better items like hangbags and high heeled shoes I gave to closer, younger friends--I have NEVER kept up with fashions--I have ALWAYS made my own tops. Almost all my sarongs that I collected on scholarships since college have become summer clothes or jackets. I sold some wearable art I made for between $50 and $150. https://www.marthastewart.com/hidden-values-thrift-shop-11857678?utm_source=firefox-newtab-en-us
