"Let us speak today of the rapturous joys of recycling. However, I refer not to bottles and cans, but to the white lamb's wool sweater that's yours for $1 and a trip to the dry cleaners...There are bountiful bargains with your name on them to be foraged from thrift shops, consignment stores, and vintage clothing boutiques... ...Every sane woman needs tried-and-true new-to-you recycling centers up her sleeve..." ---Sarah Ban Breathnach Elizabeth and I couldn't agree more, everyone needs to have ...
