BUT I have resolved to continue to thrift as much as possible and continue to buy them just enough for each season. I also do a pretty good job of freecycling or otherwise donating their old things.Nettiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10005830016547676928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17673846.post-46983458301663032982013-04-11T22:45:41.260+10:002013-04-11T22:45:41.260+10:00Thanks!

And we are happy to do it, so that we have a good "image".

Wangaratta Woollen Mills has some cheap bags of Belle Organic (or at least they did last Friday)<br /><br />3. Ethiopia is now a 'hub for knitwear production' - the world is running out of cheap places to manufacture clothing. We are now paying about the same for comparable quality as we did 25 years ago (and I don't mean adjusted for inflation) - this is completely unsustainable. Kmart have jeans for $7 - in the 70s, you couldn't buy jeans for that little.<br /><br />Sorry about the rant, but as you can tell, this bothers me!/anne...noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17673846.post-62449899820129852712013-04-10T16:35:34.872+10:002013-04-10T16:35:34.872+10:00Go Tyger!
