Full-Time Thrifter Encourages Secondhand Shopping by Posting Local Treasures on Social Media. This article is about a person who thrifts full time. For my wife and I , it’s a chance to give back and find items we use in our decorations. So please read and enjoy another persons take on thrifting.
- By LAUREN HANDO
Thrifting is an increasingly popular way to shop (and a great way to spend an afternoon), but what if we told you it could be a full-time job?
At least it is for Ambie Hay, who goes by “Palm Beach Thrifters” on social media. When she’s out and about in Palm Beach County, Florida, scouting for her clients, Hay follows their wishlists to find what they’re seeking. And when she comes across incredible antiques and vintage pieces that aren’t on the list, she posts them to her Instagram page, where she shares thrift items and their locations with her 196,000 followers from all over the world.

Her goal is simple: to promote secondhand shopping by encouraging people to check out local thrift stores.
“Thrifting is such a blast, but it really takes a lot of time, and a lot of people are working or they have children at home,” Hay, 61, told Nice News. “That’s where I got the idea that well, at least I could post because I’m out there anyway.”
Hay, who worked in retail for 25 years, closed her own design boutiques to pursue her passion for thrifting and become a full-time reseller. Around five years ago, she started an Instagram account “to show others and to help the thrift shops because they’ve helped me so much.”
“I found so many beautiful things in these stores, and I know how hard the volunteers work, and the thrift shops are always affiliated with charities,” she added. “And I thought, how can I give back to my followers? How can I give back to the thrift shops?”

She’s been able to give back to her local shops by featuring vintage treasures on her account, offering the publicity and exposure they might not have otherwise had. “One of the [thrift stores] the other day said, ‘Oh my gosh, we had a group of women down from Tennessee, and they came in because you mentioned our thrift shop,’” she recalled.
For Hay, who’s originally from Kentucky, thrifting runs in the family. Her interest in it began when her mom would take her to Goodwill as a child, and she now thrifts with her nieces and nephews.
“I really love seeing that the younger generation now is embracing vintage pieces and secondhand shopping. I think it’s just fantastic,” said Hay. “I can see that it’s getting bigger and bigger.”
While the resale industry in the United States is slowly increasing — the number of businesses has grown by an average of 3.5% per year on average since 2018 — Americans still throw away more than 34 billion pounds of used textiles each year.

But people like Hay are helping to reduce waste by turning consumers away from fast fashion and its detrimental impact on the environment.
And she’s starting ’em young: Hay wants to teach children about the importance of thrifting with her children’s book, published in 2021, focused on “the importance of recycling.”
As per her website: “Thrifting is proof positive you can earn money, save money, give back, and have fun all at the same time! … Thrifting is not a trend, it’s the future!”
Here’s my sweet boy Sailor, who inspired our Children’s book “Nifty the Thrifter.” He’s 17 and still loves to go thrift shopping!! My talented niece Madeleine @madeleine.hay.art brought this book to life with her colorful and whimsical illustrations! I’m so excited to share our book with you! 💕
I hope it book brings joy to both children and adults and inspires everyone to go thrifting!! 🌴☀️🐶💜🌸🎉🌟💕🌿🌟💫💫💫

Cheers to being crooked again. Quirky English pub bulldozed after a fire to be rebuilt as it was.
The owners of a quirky 18th century British pub unlawfully bulldozed after a mysterious fire last year were ordered on Tuesday by a local council to rebuild it — and to stick to its original, lopsided dimensions.
The watering hole — known as the Crooked House for its leaning walls and tilting foundation — favored by many locals in the village of Himley, central England, was gutted by a fire and subsequently demolished last August.
Its demise saddened many in the village, about 210 kilometers (130 miles) northwest of London, and became the subject of a criminal investigation. Three people were arrested and later released on bail in connection with the blaze but no one was charged.
In a statement, the South Staffordshire Council said it had “engaged with the owners” and now ordered the pub rebuilt “back to what it was prior to the fire” by February 2027 or face prosecution for failing to comply. The notice was served on owners, Adam and Carly Taylor and the company secretary of ATE Farms, which bought the inn. They have 30 days to appeal the notice.
The fire took place two weeks after the pub was sold by operator Marston’s. Two days later — and before a cause could be determined — the pub was bulldozed without authorization, which raised questions among local residents.
Roger Lees, the leader of the council, praised campaigners whose “aim is to see the Crooked House back to its former glory.” More than 35,000 people joined the ‘Save The Crooked House (Let’s Get It Re-Built)’ Facebook page.
“We have not taken this action lightly, but we believe that it is right to bring the owners, who demolished the building without consent, to account and we are committed to do what we can to get the Crooked House rebuilt,” Lees said.
Andy Street, the mayor of the wider West Midlands region who has supported the pub’s reconstruction, welcomed the decision in a post on X, formerly Twitter. “Fantastic work from South Staffordshire Council,” Street said.
The pub, originally built as a farmhouse in 1765, started sinking on one side as a result of extensive coal mining in the area, which is part of England’s region widely known as the Black Country, a reference to its industrial and mining heyday in the mid-19th century.
Around 1830, it became a pub and was called The Siden House — siden meaning crooked in the local dialect.
In the 1940s, it was renamed the Glynne Arms but was condemned as unsafe and scheduled for demolition until a forebear of Marston’s bought it and made it safe.
Renamed as The Crooked House, it became a tourist attraction, drawing visitors to admire its odd structure, one side standing about 1.2 meters (4 feet) lower than the other.
Now, there is only three years to go until the pub rises again and thirsty regulars can sip a beer — or two.

He posted on Facebook that he was available to help others. So now, on a daily basis, and sometimes four times a day, Chauvin fixes the hole in his heart by fixing just about everything else, like putting up a shower, hanging up a porch swing and fixing a closet door.
His charge for his services? Zero. He does out of the goodness in his heart. A 76-year-old man who is willing to help others.

Happy Valentines Day and a few other things. Well it’s time to break out the chocolates or flowers or both. My honey and I celebrated yesterday with three other couples at our favorite Restaurant in Middlefield, Ohio. Mary Yoders.
We also did our weekly trip to Amish country to buy some groceries and household cleaning items. Never a dull moment there.
I also brought out my fig trees. Still have two in the basement and one with my six other fruit trees down in the ghetto garden.
And of course some Valentine decorations.
Wouldn’t be Valentines Day without some love songs.

Labradoodle Who Loves Ambushing His Owners Wins Pet of the Week.
From a dog who responds to Harry Potter spells to a cat’s adorable greeting for its owner every morning, we’ve seen a series of fun viral pet stories this week. But alongside Internet-famous pets, we’ve been enjoying seeing our readers’ cats, dogs, and other pets submitted for our weekly Pet of the Week.
If you want your pet to be part of next week’s Pet of the Week line-up, be sure to follow the instructions at the end of this story to get involved.
This week’s Pet of the Week is Squirrel, a Labradoodle who loves to ambush her owners and fellow canine friends.
From Perth, Scotland, Squirrel was named so because of her resemblance to a squirrel when she was just 8 weeks old.
Now almost five years old, she has a gentle nature and a serious love of playtime.
“[She] loves to hide from us and surprise us by leaping out,” owner Archi Lamont told Newsweek. “I assumed we were the target on the beach but she had targeted other victims, who were, fortunately, very tolerant of her behavior.”
When she isn’t causing mischief at the beach, she loves toys, especially her comfort teddy bear that she has had since she was a puppy.
“Her best feature is her gentle nature, but the lack of cast hair and minimal doggy smell is a bonus,” said Lamont.
Finalists
Our first finalist this week is Max, a shelter dog who came from an abusive home with anxiety and PTSD.
Now living in Colorado with owner Michael Garcia, he is living his best life with an owner who truly understands him.
Almost four years old, he and his owner have an extra special bond and are barely ever apart.
Next up this week are London and Sunny, rescue dogs aged four and three.
“They are the sweetest babies ever,” said owner Misty Donaldson.
“I’ve been around a lot of dogs,” she said. “But I’ve never seen two dogs that have to be constantly touching like these two.”
Despite not being siblings by blood, Donaldson says that their touching love for each other is a huge source of joy.
Last but not least is Ollie the cat. Just 18 months ago, Ollie and his friend showed up on Emily Robinson’s porch in Michigan.
“His friend Billy was not very friendly, but Ollie was very clingy. He wanted so much love. My husband and I would feed both boys,” Robinson told Newsweek. “We noticed that Ollie’s eye was very swollen and milky. We brought him in to take him to the vet.”
Ollie was diagnosed with glaucoma and the specialist vet told them he would need his eye removed.
“Unfortunately, we haven’t been able to afford it so we put eye drops in and are doing our best to save up,” she said.
Since the trip to the vet, Ollie hasn’t left their side, staying in the house ever since.
And Billy is always nearby too, with his own insulated and heated home on the deck outside.
“They chose us, and we couldn’t be happier,” said the loving owner.

A teacher brought a kid’s ripped coat home to fix. His daughter slipped a note in the pocket. “My student was grinning when he showed me the note. He kept looking at it in class and smiling…”
An eighth grade science teacher in Illinois is warming hearts with a story about a winter jacket.
“I asked one of my students who is very poor to give me his torn coat so I could bring it home for my daughter to sew,” the teacher, who wishes to remain anonymous, shared on Reddit. “He came to class and showed me that he found this in the pocket.”
It was a note from the teacher’s 17-year-old daughter, Brianna.
“Hey child, it is me, the magical coat fixer. Hope it holds up and please send it back if it doesn’t. Sorry I couldn’t make it as invisible as I hoped, but I did my best,” Brianna wrote. “Also since you’re in 8th grade (I think — I’m not 100% sure what grade my dad teaches) I thought you could use some 11th grade advice.
“MIDDLE SCHOOL SUCKS. YOU’RE ALMOST FREE. YOU CAN MAKE IT,” she continued in all capital letters. “GOOD LUCK.”
“Brianna is an incredible kid. She does stuff like this all the time,” the teacher tells TODAY.com. “My student was grinning when he showed me the note. He kept looking at it in class and smiling, and I actually had to ask him to put it away so we could learn about digestion.”
Later that day, the boy handed the teacher a handmade greeting card to give to Brianna.
“Thank you for fixing my coat,” he wrote with a gold marker. “I really appreciate the letter you gave me. It means a lot because 8th do sucks.
“But all my of my teachers are great,” he added.
Much to the teacher’s surprise, his post about the coat went viral on Reddit. In the comments, one person summed up perfectly what made the interaction so meaningful:
“There are so many wonderful things about this. You thought to help out a kid in your class who didn’t have the resources to help themselves / they weren’t afraid or too proud to accept help when they need it / you know your child’s skills well enough to know they could help / not only did your kid go out of their way to help, they thought it might be nice to include a note, a word of wisdom, and a promise to keep helping in the future if needed / the kiddo who needed help recognized how special this note was and thought to share it with you / and now you share it with your internet friends!
“As others have said, you’re raising a good one! This was a wonderful internet moment to come across today, thank you.”

Going Grocery shopping at a Salvage store. As some of the regulars here know, my wife and I are big fans of Salvage grocery or as some call them, scratch and dent.
If you need to make drastic cuts to your grocery bill and are willing to step outside of your favorite grocery market, shopping at a salvage grocery store could be the answer. Salvage grocery stores, sometimes referred to as outlet or discount grocery stores, specialize in selling items that traditional grocery stores can’t or won’t sell. Here’s a look at what salvage grocery stores are all about.
What Is a Salvage Grocery Store?
Most salvage grocery stores buy their merchandise from grocery reclamation centers, which include:
- Food that is near or past its expiration
- Items in dented or torn packaging
- Items in seasonal or otherwise-dated packaging
- Store closeouts
- Manufacturer overstock
- Salvage from truck wrecks
Unlike a traditional grocery store, which stocks the same items each week, salvage grocery stores stock different items weekly depending on what’s available. The prices at a salvage grocery store are typically half of what you’d expect to pay at the grocery store—but could be even cheaper.
Is the Food Safe?
As long as you follow a few rules, the food at a salvage grocery store is just as safe as the food you’d get at a grocery store. Salvage grocery stores are inspected and regulated by the government just like regular grocery stores.
All items are also inspected for serious damage at the reclamation center before they’re shipped to stores. Leaking or bulging cans and broken jars are tossed immediately. Torn or dented boxes are OK, as long as the plastic bag that the food is wrapped in is still sealed. If it’s something like macaroni, where the food sits directly inside the box, you should probably pass on torn boxes.
Tips and Warnings
If you decide to shop at a salvage grocery store, there are a few things to consider:
- Frozen foods are still safe after their expiration date as long as they’ve been kept frozen. If you see any evidence of improper food storage at the store, skip them.
- Sell-by, use-by, and best-buy dates all mean different things. Educate yourself on the difference, so you understand what you’re buying.
- Never buy expired baby formula and baby food at a salvage store. It’s the only food product that the federal government requires dating on.
- Avoid expired over-the-counter drugs. They may lose their potency or undergo an adverse chemical change after expiration.
- Dented cans aren’t always safe to buy. A small dent is fine, but if you see cans with big dents or any dent along the top or side seam, leave them at the store. Ditto for bulging or leaking cans. They could be a botulism risk.
- Recalled items shouldn’t end up at salvage stores, but it’s good to stay on top of recent recalls just in case.
Additionally, salvage grocery stores may not be as organized as a regular grocery store, but they should be just as clean. If a store appears dirty or you see signs of bug or rodent activity, take your business elsewhere.

Let’s do some duets.

Let’s do some duets. This should be an easy one. there have been so many duets over the years. So, why not play a few favorites.
Over time we have had some duets that just really blew me away. But I’m sure you folks out there know what I mean. I’m sure there will be songs that someone will post, and you’ll say something like wow I forgot about that one.
From 1967-1970, Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell were Motown’s golden duo. Together, the gifted singers released three studio albums and scored a dozen hit singles, beginning with “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough.” Written by the husband-and-wife songwriting team of Ashford & Simpson, and featuring instrumentation by the Funk Brothers and the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, the song landed at No.3 on the R&B chart and crossed over into the Billboard Hot 100’s Top 20. In 1999, the enduring hit was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame, while today, it is regarded as one of the best duets ever recorded.
As Marvin Gaye and Kim Weston once sang: “It Takes Two.” Indeed, a pairing of great talents can often lead to truly memorable (and highly profitable) results. Whether it’s a romantic ballad, a tandem melody, or complex, counterpart harmonies, the most successful duets find both artists supporting one another – allowing both parties to excel. From Motown to metal and pop to country, below are some of the best duets of all time.

We’re at the end of the month. Kick out the jams. My how this month has gone by really fast. So, why not play your favorite tunes?
For me as you may have guessed, it’s classic rock. But I like to think that I have a good taste for other types of music.
Music is a powerful force — one that can influence how you feel. Certain genres will make you feel like dancing, while others aide in relaxation. But your favorite song may be able to reduce your pain.
Music is good for the heart and soul. Below I’ve sort of put a mix in from a few different eras.

Move around a lot?
Views: 37
Move around a lot? Simple question. I myself have stayed put for the past 35 years. Before that I must have moved maybe 10 different times. Several different cities in California and Ohio.
According to U.S. Census data, the total number of Americans who moved in 2023 was 25.6 million. While that seems high (and it is!), that’s still a whopping 9% fewer than the total number of people who moved in 2022.
How about you? Move a lot? Over 25 million people moved last year. People move for jobs, pay less taxes, or be near family who have moved. So what’s your reason?

My wife and I spend alot of time in the Amish country sections of Ohio. Reason being that it’s very close plus we get awsome grocery prices and eat at excellent restaurants in Amish country.
There is a small Amish community in Pennsylvania actually closer, but it’s not as large as the Ohio locations and the restaurants aren’t Amish. Go figure.

A Minnesota boy learned his bus driver had cancer. Then he raised $1,000 to help her.
Noah Webber made banana bread and muffins, then sold the treats and raised $1,000 for his bus driver, who had recently been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. He says ‘I didn’t just want to stand there.’
Saleen MartinUSA TODAY
Heidi Carston has spent the past decade bussing children safely to and from school in Minnesota.
That all changed in December when she was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic gastric cancer. Carston had to tell her students that she wouldn’t see them for a while because of health issues.
One boy just knew he had to help.
“When she announced it on the bus, I was sad,” 11-year-old Noah Webber told USA TODAY on Wednesday. “I was shocked … I didn’t just want to stand there and watch it happen and not do anything.”
After chatting with his family, Noah decided to organize a bake sale in Carston’s honor and ended up raising $1,000 for her.
Noah’s small act of kindness turned out to be a big deal for Carston.
Putting the bake sale together
Noah, a sixth-grader at Black Hawk Middle School in the Twin Cities suburb of Eagen, first met Carston at the beginning of the school year.
Months later when Carston realized she would need to undergo chemotherapy and wouldn’t be able to work, she said she just knew she had to tell her students why she wouldn’t be on the bus for a while.
“They’re accustomed to the same driver every day,” she said. “They become accustomed to your habits, your style, and I just didn’t want them wondering ‘What happened to Ms. Heidi?'”
After Noah told his family about what his bus driver was going through, the Webbers baked up a storm, making muffins and banana bread, and then posting about the baked goods on a neighborhood app. Noah’s mom also told her co-workers about it, and another bus driver posted about the sale on an app for bus drivers.
They presented the money and gifts to Carston shortly after Christmas. The gifts included flowers, candy and a blanket.
“I was just blown away,” Carston told USA TODAY on Wednesday. “I just couldn’t even believe it, that he had such a kind heart to be able to even come up with this idea.”
She said she was “overwhelmed by his love and all of the students on all of my routes for giving me gifts … (It was) very, very touching.”
Boy’s community is proud of him for helping bus driver in need
Noah said he was excited and happy to help his bus driver, who he described as kind and “super friendly.”
His father, Mike Webber, said he “couldn’t be more proud” of his son.
The boy’s act of kindness is just further proof that bus drivers are needed and valued, said Allyson Garin, a spokesperson for Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan Public Schools.
“They’re these unsung heroes … the first face our kids see in the morning and the last face they see,” she said. “It was just exciting to see the district come together as a whole, including Noah and his fundraiser, with all these amazing things.”
His school principal, Anne Kusch, said his actions embody the school’s philosophy: Calm. Kind. Safe.
“We’re super proud of Noah here and excited to see what else he’s going to do in the next two and a half years that he’s with us,” Kusch said.
Bus driver is undergoing chemo, hoping for the best
Carston said that her diagnosis came too late for stomach removal surgery, an extensive procedure that involves a long recovery, she told USA TODAY.
Doctors are hoping that her body will respond well to chemotherapy but they won’t know for several more weeks.
Her family has started a GoFundMe where people can donate to help her. It had raised just over $5,000 by Wednesday evening.
