Maybe we should see how many people are interested first. Sounds like it's just you and me so far...lol...I recommend people check out the dress-a-day blog to see what she is doing.

At one of our local thrift stores, every time the seasons change they have an "all-you-can-fit-into-a-bag-sale for $2.00 a bag. Do you know that I now know how to fold a pair of jeans to fit into a sandwich bag....LOL...just kidding, but I can get alot of stuff in one bag!

Yesterday I turned the TV on to catch the early news and saw this gal on the Nate Berkus talk show. They showed off a bunch of her "fashions" and she explained some of her make it easy tips. Pretty cool.

She is just too cute. And she makes it look realy easy. I guess you have to have an eye for stuff like that. I just watched the show from her blog. Really good.

Debbie,

I think I'll take you with the next time the local churches have one of their bag sales!

Hope there is lots of interest in a fashion show - it could be so-o fun!

I saw this girl on the Early Show on CBS this morning. She did a great job and it was interesting to see her in the "flesh" and see some of her creations.

That was SO inspiring! Did you guys watch the video of her on the early show? It tell how she came to do it and makes one wonder what I could do with clothes from the thrift. Not that I'm into fashion or design but to use the material for quilts and curtains and pillow covers etc. Have you seen the price of material? It's expensive! Great "green" idea for all of us! Thanks for pointing her out to us.
