Goodwill towards women shoppers

ahhh.............. I do love the Goodwill.......loads of treasures just waiting to be discovered.......shopping there is tons of fun, and doesn't count as consuming, because it has already been consumed, and I am just re-purposing it..... So I am doing the planet a favor(how is that for shopping justification!) Today I went to the Biddeford Goodwill. I found some really great sheets and fabrics.....

these will make great market bags....so I am re-purposing, and then creating to save the planet
(I am so damn good).
I also found a totally spectacular vintage dress......
One way you can tell if something is vintage is by where the tag said the item was made.....

as you can see the tag says made in the USA. Since 99% of clothing is made over seas(china)....and looking at the fabric and style of the dress, I would say late 60's-early 70's.


ooh la, la! I think it will look smashing with my Frye boots!!!!!!!!
One other thing, to all you Goodwill virgins...........bring along some wipes....I always have to wipe down when I am done my rummaging....oh, and remember to smell before you buy..... most odors do come out...the moldy, mildew-ey smells stay away from....and BO in polyester(eww...like we would buy polyester)......also moth balls are another no-no. stiiinkkkee!
other than that....have fun!
