Great Resale shops and thrift stores in Bowling Green, Kentucky

I love going to thrift shops. You can find the neatest stuff there.

Here in Bowling Green, there are many to pick from. Here are just a few:

Goodwill on Nashville Road (3 stores) - one is a new one, and another new building is going up on Campbell Lane too. The "furniture" store has lots more than furniture, like games, knick-knacks, clothing, books, etc.

The Lion and Lamb Boutique - they have clothing, shoes, purses, etc. PLUS a bunch of collectible and antique booths here. It is located on 31-W.

*star- star* Granny's Attic (or Grandma's Attic) on Broadway - hang it up. This store has more. It has couches, bureaus, glassware, baskets, rugs, and regular household things.

St. Vincent's and Helping Hand resale shops are kiddycorner and located on Russellville Road, in the large shopping center by the high school. So it's fun to go to both of them at once. If you want real clothes deals, Helping Hand is the place to go. You may have to search through the racks a bit, but the price is right.

There are many more great thrift stores and resale shops in Bowling Green. List your favorite after this, and tell me why you like it.

All for now,

It's gardening time!

Are you growing a garden this year?

It's cheap.... or even free to plant a garden this year, at least for me, because I have an assortment of seeds to use.

Do you have seeds from last year? You can plant them directly in the ground sometimes, (for peas, corn...) and you can also buy plants already started.

Growing your own produce and vegetables can help you save a lot of money this year. Some all-time favorites for this area are tomatoes, peppers, and flowers.

Here are some articles about gardening from the Moon and the Willow tree, a sister blog of this one.
Planning my garden (2009)
The Baker Creek Seed catalog (2009) - there are some great pictures and ideas here.

Here are some links to help get YOUR garden started:

Kathy's Garden and Art blog (Whitehouse, TN)
The Garden Desk (Northern Kentucky)
