For those who regularly follow my blog, you already know how much I love thrift shopping for myself and for wardrobe items for photo shoots. The closest thrift store to my home has always been 30-45 minutes away. Well, my dream has finally come true.. a new Goodwill just opened 15 minutes from my house.
Today was the Grand Opening of the Collierville, TN store. It is roomy, well organized, stocked with loads of merchandise, and staffed with helpful smiling faces. It gets and A+ from me. I was really surprised to see so many people there since it is located in a rather affluent suburb of Memphis. But, thrift shopping is no longer taboo among the rich. In fact, it's rather in vogue. I arrived 30 minutes after the ribbon cutting and the store was completely packed with shoppers pushing baskets brimming with terrific finds. Here are a few of the great items I spotted...that were still on the racks!
