Hi, I'm Kate Holmes, author of The Picker Who Perished, and I love to chat about consignment, resale, and thrift shopping. I'll share my secrets about getting the best quality for the best price by shopping resale, about recycling as a stylish way to improve your life, and more.

A tip for moms from a resale shopkeeper:
Keep a box in the bottom of your children’s closets. As clothing is outgrown, add them to the box. If they’re not getting use out of a plaything, book or video, put that in the box too. Soon, you’ll have a batch ready to take to your favorite shop.
