Be Thrifty

From clothing to furniture, thrift stores are an inexpensive and eco-friendly place to pick up just the right "new-for-you" item. Refer to this list of clothing donation and vintage stores throughout San Bernardino County to help get you started.

Also, check out Real Simple's column, New Uses for Old Things for ideas on creative conversions. Once you've become a pro or for even more crafty ideas, visit Readymade Magazine's website, a publication devoted entirely to repurpose people.
