Hunter Gatherer Babes of the High Country... The Introduction

Greetings from Boone,NC!

Rosie Wells and I, Rosie Peters, would like to thank you for stopping by and checking out our blog. We are two self confessed thrift store/garage sale junkies who have been acquaintances for 7 years and have over 60 years of thrifting experience between the two of us. Recently, circumstances have allowed us to enjoy one another's company on a reasonably frequent basis. We share not only our love of a bargain , but also a profession and a connection to Illinois. After many afternoon conversations, we decided that it would be fun to share our tall tales, wisdom, and observations of the thrift store/rummage sale/ yard sale circuit here in Boone. We will draw on our many years of "shopping" adventures not only here, but across the country. Using our combined degrees in sociology, education, social work, and cultural anthropology, we hope to add insight into the illness of thrifting and learn something about ourselves while we are at it. Please join us on our journey of discussing the subculture in which we are self declared queens. We plan to explore various aspects of thrifting and yard saling as well as providing commentary on our experiences as we go along. Garage sale season begins in a few weeks and we wanted to get a jump on it by revealing our histories and letting you get to know us a little bit better. For better or for worse...depending on how well you knew us to begin with! Once again, thank you for being a part of our small revolution. Stay tuned..there will be much more coming your way soon!
