You could be related to me kellyfamily! I'm the 12th youngest out of 13 children. It's funny because as a kid, I never wanted to be seen near a thrift store, but like you, it was part of life. Now I love thrift stores.
I've actually sold a few finds on Ebay, that's great advice! Thank you for your response. I think that people from large families are some of the most awesome people! The most difficult part is, keeping up with all the birthdays and holidays. I've learned that baking is a good way to do that without going broke. :)
