Well, I'm glad to see all the resale and thrift stores opening up. It means we are using stuff up, rather than just trashing it.

My son moved out of the house recently and left me a bunch of his clothes to find good homes for. He's a brand snob and has some good name brand clothes that are still valuable. I tried to take the better stuff to my favorite consignment shop, only to find they are taking stuff by appt. only now, buying outright (for less than you would get consigning) and are booked up so far into the future that I couldn't even book an appt! Then I went by the local charity shop to GIVE clothes to them, and they had a sign on the door that they weren't taking any donations until Sept.! Well, excuse me. So now I have all these lovely clothes and can't even give them away! Will see if the church can find someone who needs them.
