Seattle Goodwill Community Learning Center
1400 S. Dearborn St.

It will be crowded, but maybe you’ll find that perfect [previously-owned] holiday-season outfit or accessory! More information and examples of what you might find are available here or click the title of this post. Happy thrifting!
REI makes a little less go a long way
REI takes steps to improve the ecological footprint of its product packaging:
Something old, something lace
It was a long search (far longer than I care to admit), but I finally found a bridesmaid dress for my friend’s summer wedding!
The bride provided three criteria for the dresses:
1) Knee length
2) light neutral in color (champagne, gold, light gray, etc.)
3) and it must have some kind of lace
Beyond these criteria, the bride encouraged us to find something that fit out personal style.
In light of my sustainable year, I had to add another set of criteria (organic, recycled, or local). At times I wished that I had done the shopping last year, to save myself the extra challenge.
