Bargain Hunters don’t forget shopping the thrift and consignment stores this holiday season for some real deals and one-of-a-kind merchandise. For example, Second Début, an upscale Goodwill store located in the Excelsior area of Minneapolis, Minnesota, today Saturday, December 8, 2007, beginning at 10a.m. to 6 p.m., will be holding a Fur & Leather Event. Plus free gift wrapping during this month on all art work.
Thrift stores and consignment stores are wonderful resources all the year around, but even more so during special holiday events like these. The best way to insure you are kept up-to-date on all promotions is to sign-up and receive their emails.

looking for headboards for twin beds
Dear Shirley; Thrift stores use to take beds, now you don’t see them because they have stopped taking mattresses. Having said that, from time to time they do get headboards and frames in. Also, check your classified since you can find private parties selling bedroom furniture, or you can put in a "wanted to buy" ad in a local newspaper or shopping newsletter. Estate sales will also have bedroom furniture for sale and twin sizes are the most difficult for them to sell. Or you can make your own using plywood, batting, and fabric. Hope this helps out.
