Treasure of the week!

Ok, Millie (myself included) is very big into going green, upcycling and buying vintage/gently used, and repurposing. For instance, I have a huge bin of clothes that were gently used, but now have some kind of issue that isn't fixable. What to do? Can't really donate it, but I can make it into something new.
I love treasure hunting too! Whether it be at a closeout store, Salvation Army, or at the summer garage sales, I can usually find a treasure somewhere. I have decided to dedicate Monday to be "Treasure of the Week" day!
Today's find came at the Salvation Army. While wandering the aisles, picking up some neat looking paperbacks, and records, I happened upon quite the score in the shoe section - a nice, spiffy pair of red canvas Converse One-Stars! For the bargain price of 3.99- and half off! So I ended up paying two dollars for a nice pair of Converse. My sneaker of choice! (I will have to post a photo blog of the collection at some point....) Win!
Check in next week to see what the treasure will be!
