A Thrift Store in New York City

Whoopee, it's Friday!

We end our travel/shopping series today but I

hope to feature more markets in the future.

Today, we're in New York and instead of

a flea market, we're going to a thrift store.

This is just one of the many branches of the

Housing Works Thrift Shops.

Proceeds from shop sales go to New Yorkers

affected by homelessness and HIV/AIDS.

Isn't that TADA!?

All merchandise are donated and I visit

as often as I can because there's

always something new!

Recently, they arranged their books by color.

Lots of records, CDs and DVDs.

They have awesome furniture, too.

I would have loved to get that school desk and

matching chair and possibly add a fresh coat of paint.

They also have a nice selection of

clothes, shoes, bags and accessories.

I like to spend extra time in the houseware section.

This is what I found in my latest visit:

An alphabet cookie cutter set.

All 26 letters complete!

You'll have to tune in to see the many ways to use this set.

Have a fun weekend everyone!
