Perhaps coming from the viewpoint of saving the planet & environment may get through to some... and of course, the awesome finds at op shops are also great promotion too! heehee Kel :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08575738617316675667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8076423087756460509.post-73524786152247515082012-09-07T04:36:01.828-07:002012-09-07T04:36:01.828-07:00I buy most clothes second hand and I'd have a ...I buy most clothes second hand and I'd have a blast looking for childern's clothes too.

You look amazing in your close-up shots. <br />Of course you are preaching to the choir with me, but I am always amazed at what some people will pay for stuff. And not even good stuff... I am always kitted out in charity shopped/secondhand clothes, and so are my kids. Like you, I get all sorts handed down from friends, and pass my kids' clothes on to other people too, it all goes around. And I think we all look great! <br />I'm going to make those lemon slices, they look so delicious. xxxCurtisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10362184504889147455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8076423087756460509.post-80810434749568183862012-09-03T03:41:20.123-07:002012-09-03T03:41:20.123-07:00MMMMMMM!
