hi i'm a newbie to this team and in the UK we don't call them thrift stores, we call them second hand/ vintage or charity shops - so thrift has such a snazzy and exotic ring to it for me - i'm going to start using it! you can't beat the bargain bin, a pair of turquoise silk harem pants for 10p (i don't know how much that translates too in cents but it sure aint much!) vive la thrift!
