You are a lucky shopper to find such great fashion designer's goodies. I love when that happens, it's like almost a steal or highway robbery even though you paid for it!

Great article also!

There is definitely a thrill to the hunt, especially when gathering a designer find for a great price.  :-)

Thanks for responding!

Very good and interesting article, I enjoyed reading it.  Unfortunately , for my bank account, it led me to other links and other articles and now I'm going to add 2 more books to my ever expanding "vintage clothing and accessories" book collection. (ssssssssshhhhhhhhhhh, don't breathe a word....it's a secret.)    ;>)

Ha ha join the club. I am smothered in books, but there is always that "one more book" to buy!

LOL! We moved in January, so many of mine are still in boxes. . . bringing in two shelves this afternoon. Let the unpacking begin!

When I was married, my ex and I crossed Canada twice in moves. One day getting ready to pack he said "I'm not dragging those books across Canada again, you'll have  to get rid of 1/2".

I agonized over that,  it felt like I was deciding on which of my 2 kids to take or leave behind. He deserves to be my ex don't you think?  :)

:-) We get pretty attached to our books, don't we? I am lucky to have someone who not only helps move the books, but is also going to pick up the bookshelves today--from his ex's house! LOL!

That being said, I also inherited thousands of my father's books and have subsequently sold down to a reasonable amount. It was a chore moving and storing so many, so I finally just kept my very favorites. It did make life more manageable, especially during another move. Now just planning to stay put for a while!

I know every time I moved I had to let some go, well more than some. I can honestly say I would like to kick myself many times over in you know where :)
