A new weekly feature here at Auntie Kate The Blog is
Deja Vuesday
where you can visit a gently-used, recycled, and even restyled blog post in case you missed it the first time. It’s even better the second time around
Without further ado, for Deja Vuesday today may I present:
How this Consignment Story Takes Me Back…to Pin Money!
Illustration from Fashion ERa, one of my favorite vintage info sites.


I loved this post. My mom, MSRIP, used to tell me about pin money when I was a girl. She also told me that I should save so that I would never have to be reliant on anyone. In the 60’s we went to local thrift stores and “Willie Goods” as well as the “As Is Yard”. Mom turned trash into treasures with her “pin money”, though it wasn’t given to her by my dad per se, she simply skimmed a little off the weekly budget and boy did we have fun!
