Thrift store personal shopping. Genius.
March 28, 2013 by
Honestly, this might be the coolest idea I’ve ever heard of: a personal shopper at a thrift store. Let me repeat, in case you disbelieve: a personal shopping appointment at a thrift store. For real. This phenomenal idea is the invention Michelle Dustin, who worked at Arc’s Value Village when she was younger. After college […]
