Years ago, Mom introduced me to the idea of going to garage sales. People sell the darnedest things at their garage sales. Garage sales take time, you have to hit quite a few before you find the item you want or need. If you are in more of a hurry, find a thrift store instead. I love a bargain.

But there are ways to save – consider used furniture. Garage sale and thrift store furniture bargains abound. While most folks consider wood and metal used furniture to be quite restorable, many turn their noses up at re-using fabric covered items. How to make used furniture usable.

In many parts of the US, people learned to sew as part of their life skills – from parents or family or schools. I got 160,000,000 results today using Google Chrome. Today it is much less expensive to buy your clothes, even if you buy brand new and certainly if you shop some of the chic re-sale shops or even the thrift stores.

We’re meeting an Arkansas reader today and initially, I thought she was the first one! Tell us a little about yourself Greetings from the NW corner of Arkansas, where I was born (around 40+ years ago) and raised. We use the eggs, harvest meat & if I can’t get out to hunt venison we’ve had friends give us meat.
