Love thrift stores? What’s the coolest thing you’ve found?
I found two button-up shirts that I love. But the best thing is a quiet hairdryer. I still have it and use the hairdryer.
Also for my 1 y.o. son, I found for him a light weight Old Navy jacket. It’s so useful for NM weather. This was at New Heights Thrift Store.
Awesome! I always drive by New Heights, and have been meaning to check it out. Maybe I will do that this weekend.
New Heights Thrift Store is now closed. I drove by on April 20, 2022.
Thank you for the update!
