Footnote

Friends and readers have been asking why I am sharing my favorite haunts with the world, and wondering if this will adversely effect my business.

The answer is that I really love what I do. For that reason, it is in my interest to make sure that my favorite thrift shops stay financially healthy. As of late, a number of my long time favorites have closed. I certainly do not want to see any other shops meet their fate. The more business these stores realize, the better for all thrifters.

I also say a little prayer for eBay each day- especially today, as I dragged home a few hundred dollars worth of soon to be eBay merchandise. The freedom of self-employment I currently enjoy is closely entwined with the health of eBay. Again, the more folks listing and buying, the better it is for the entire community.

Plus, I am completely confident that there is enough junk out there for everyone!
