Thrifters Anonymous Link Up! St. Vincents Catholic Charities Edition

The Thrifters Anonymous Member of the week goes to 
Amy from 
Green Eggs and Hamm



Amy is a Thrifters Anonymous Member, a mommy, and a wife...and on her latest thrifting hunt she found a vintage coach, Bottega Veneta, and well this Oscar De La Renta!!! I am absolutely in love with this dress..In LOVE...Amy and her hubby share a love of thrifting and she even has a little shop where you can buy some of her great finds...Thank you Amy for sharing your thrifting treasures with us all and sharing some of your tips!! Amy made such a  good point! If you find great items like this, that means that there are probably more! Someone may have dropped off a whole bedroom filled with gems like this...LOVE!

There were so many great Thrifters Anonymous Members last week...24 to be exact so if you missed them you can check them out HERE.

So if you like me on Facebook and read my blog you know that my friend Dawnya from Everything Nonsense came down to Vegas to visit...and what would a visit be without some NONSENSE...and a Thrifters Anonymous Meeting!!

Since we are here in Vegas we decided to find a store we had not been to yet...so we went to St. Vincent Catholic Charities...and can I just say...this place was great! Call before you go as they have different sales everyday...and some days...like the day we went...anything other than jackets and jeans were $1 if they were $10 or less...$1!!! Stay tuned for a Live Version of Thrifters Anonymous on my YouTube Channel HERE

Let's be real folks...who doesn't want to see what others are doing to save money, or even how they are letting their creativity amaze us. Oh and not to mention that it's just a cool club and there are no rules, so I won't punish you if you don't want to post my button...I mean it is anonymous right? Thank you and see you every Monday!












Hi, My Name is {Your Name HERE} I am addicted to Thrifting!
Thrifters Anonymous


Here is how it works...
  • In the "Link it to" section, leave a link to one specific Thrifters Anonymous post from the past week or week prior...doesn't matter...
  • In the "Title" section, tell me what was thrifted cuz you were super excited about your outfit or new couch . An example would be "Thrifted Belt, handmade skirt, & shoes on sale!
  • That's all...and there is no judgement here...everything is worthy...and believe me once you link up you are officially a Thrifters Anonymous Member...FOR EVA..ha ha ok..or as long as I am doing this madness..
  • If you miss the link up or do not have a blog Link up to my facebook and share! I would love to see your finds and meet you!

    Hi Shana! I tried to submit my recent Thrifting experience, but I guess I did something wrong with the link. The only option I saw was to cancel and go back to site. I didn't see the option to submit. Please advise.

    Great Finds by the other thrifters by the way!
