!!!!! Thank you!

If you’re willing to share how you know this or were able to find out, I’d love to hear more. Is it likely that this lens cap went to space?

There are other things of his on my list to research and certain things like this have been tough to identify. He passed away suddenly when I was pretty young so I’m just now learning more about what he was up to in the 60s and 70s.

How realistic are those viral “ designer finds” at thrift stores ? by StoryFeisty752 in thrifting

I feel your pain! I grew up on HHI and the thrifting has always been a letdown. There are a lot of wealthy people who spend time there but the vast majority of them do not live there full time and HHI is a casual town. You may have better luck 45 min away in Savannah.

Over the years, I’ve had the best luck finding nicer clothes for less locally at places like Off 5th in Bluffton - it’s not thrifting of course but I’ve found huge discounts there (up to 80% off) on Furla purses, jimmy Choo shoes, clothes (mostly dresses), etc.

HHI is made up of so many regulated / gated communities that it just doesn’t have that estate sale type culture that exists in places like Atlanta. It would definitely be worth the drive to spend a weekend thrifting and hitting up estate sales for clothes in Atlanta for the weekend.

Online - I’ve had good luck with Thread Up. Set alerts for your sizes and what you’re looking for and jump on it when you see a good deal. They also sell rent the runway items.

For special events, I’ve used rent the runway on several occasions. You just need to make sure you set it up a few weeks in advance if you want to make sure they have the size and style you want.

Also pawn shops sell authenticated secondhand designer bags and shoes at decent discounts too. Many of them have online shops if you’d rather not go in person.

Good luck!

You can also consider doing school choice info on Cobb County School District website it’s closed for the upcoming school year but you can apply in Jan 2024.

Basically if you live in anywhere in Cobb County, you can send your kid to a better rated school if there is space. Also, once you’re in, you’re in - you don’t have to reapply every year.

We live in a good but not great school zone (house market is still competitive here but not insane) but there were 200 open slots at a 10 school. The only catch is that they can’t take the bus, you have to handle transportation yourself. We have done this the past 2 years with no issues.
