And I smile. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);font-family:lucida grande;" &gt;I remember when I was about 11 years old. My mother would make my clothes. With 6 kids to feed and clothe it was the cheapest way. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;Then one day my older cousins were cleaning their closet. My aunt brought over a big trash bag full of clothes my size. Could we use them?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;I was in heaven! I spent the day trying on outfits and parading in front of the mirror. I had so much fun!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__iq45lMEJ6o/SYDTpGrMS7I/AAAAAAAAAAc/oOz8Ymi4Tl4/s1600-h/DSCN0341.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296465864907574194" style="margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px; float: right; width: 320px; height: 240px;" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__iq45lMEJ6o/SYDTpGrMS7I/AAAAAAAAAAc/oOz8Ymi4Tl4/s320/DSCN0341.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;And thus began my love of clothes! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt; Shopping at "real" stores is ok, but shopping at Consignment Shops is more of a treasure hunt!  There's a thrill you get when you score the perfect jeans.  Or a top that would cost $30 but you get for $8.   Sweeeet!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;Girls just love to shop - why not shop smart!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: pre-wrap;font-family:'Lucida Grande';font-size:11;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: pre-wrap;font-family:'Lucida Grande';font-size:11;"  &gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/85705/cre8ivegrl/484790b1052ab8bc6394ffeece1dd3bb.png" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6370617460958558270-4393918533738840455?l=susiesselections.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://susiesselections.blogspot.com/feeds/4393918533738840455/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://susiesselections.blogspot.com/2009/01/why-did-i-start-consignment-shop.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6370617460958558270/posts/default/4393918533738840455'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6370617460958558270/posts/default/4393918533738840455'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://susiesselections.blogspot.com/2009/01/why-did-i-start-consignment-shop.html' title='Why did I start a Consignment Shop?'/><author><name>Susie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18023956267993300925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__iq45lMEJ6o/SYDTpGrMS7I/AAAAAAAAAAc/oOz8Ymi4Tl4/s72-c/DSCN0341.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
