    "Today’s find...they may look like normal old ratty chairs, but here’s the kicker - I already owned them once before. Brought them to the US from Europe when I moved back home in 2001, and stored them with a relative. After a rift in the family, I considered them a loss. Here they are, nearly 20 years later, in a 2nd hand store. Though they may be much worse for the wear, they’re coming home with me (again)."

    "My absolute favorite Goodwill purse find that I wear a LOT! It's a 3D flat purse. I had wanted one for a really long time, but they're normally $75 brand new. This one still had the plastic sheeting on the buttons and was never worn. I think I paid $7-$8!!! It's surprisingly roomy inside. MAGIC!

    EDIT: This is an original Jump From Paper bag. Yes, I know there's cheap ones online, but those are knock offs. Please love and support your designers and artists by buying originals. Ok, off my soap box. Thanks!"

    You know that when you buy originals but not from the original artist, the artist still gets 0? You might as well buy a cheap knockoff. If you want to support your designers and artists, buy their originals _from them_.

    There is a fair I go to and there are always a few people walking around with those types of shirts on. So it turns out that if you talk to the right people he just has a ton of those things and will just give you one for free. Lets just say I may have taken advantage of that.... :)
