Are you a thrift store junkie, but need some ideas for what to do with your loot? Or maybe you’re just a beginner—you want to thrift, but aren’t sure how to go about it, or how to use what you’ve found. Welcome to ThriftingDenver.org. I’m here to inspire and remind you that for every look you want to create, and every event you want to celebrate, you can probably find everything you need at your local Goodwill.
I spent years working in advertising as a graphic designer and art director. I still love design, but my real passion is creating, repurposing and basically making pretty things from other people’s discarded items. I’ve been hooked on thrift stores for over a decade, and after that long, it just becomes a way of life. So blogging for Goodwill about thrifting and helping others find unique and fun ways to repurpose and reuse clothing and home goods is a bit of a dream for me, and I hope it’s fun for you, too!

Hi DeeAnna! I believe I met you tonight at the show. I sincerely apologize if I seemed a little off, I was in the middle of trying to find a VERY lost husband-of-mine–yikes!
If you guys ever have any other local fashion events, please please PLEASE throw me an email! I’d love to talk and I’d love to help promote, as I think anything that supports Denver’s sometimes-less-than-thriving fashion scene is amazing, and not to mention the Goodwill is such a fantastic organization within itself! Thanks again for hosting such a wonderful show and event tonight- I had such a great time, and from what I’ve heard so far everyone else in attendance did too. <3

I was a bit surprised to finally stumble upon this blog. Given that I’ve met with Meahgan and the Marketing department, wouldn’t it be wise to share blogrolls?

Hi!
was such a pleasure meeting DeeAnna for the Goodwill meet up on July 9!
several other participants have been in contact and we are planning on remaining in touch.. perhaps a luncheon is in the works..
Goodwill has been my sole source for shopping!
I have NOT been in a ‘mall” in over 2 years.. (except for underwear!)
I enjoy everything Goodwill represents in the community..
plus being providing exceptional shopping!!
hugs..

DeAnna:
I’m new to Goodwill – (my third week). I have talked to my boss, and we thank you so much for your “summer vacation” blog.
I wonder if you might have time to call me. We are thinking there must be away for we here in Northern California to make use of your great talents. I’d like to brainstorm!
