The blog looks great, and so do you!</p> <p>I always write "grey" despite being 100% American.

Thank you!</p> <p><b>JG</b> I am floored (and I discuss two books briefly in my next post!). Where do you live by the way (heh, heh :-))?</p> <p><b>JAileen</b>, ooh, we have lots in common, hope you find it interesting!</p> <p><b>Parsley</b>, I hope to blog a bit about books and being an immigrant too. Hope you will take a peak!</p> <p><b>Angie</b>, there is no way I would have started a blog or even contributed to an on-line community if it weren't for you. I listed YLF as my first choice of style books and I mean it - and not just for the clothes!</p> <p><b>Claire</b>, yes! Peri-menopause is on top of my mind, last cycle was three months long - does that give me a three month excuse for crabbiness?</p> <p><b>pil </b>You know since my sister also writes grey I am wondering if a school teacher did not implant it in us in the other direction! Thanks for your kind words!</p> <p>ETA <b>Diana</b> that is so good to hear and thank you for the compliment!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-started-a-blog-about-thrifting#post-1264469 Fri, 30 May 2014 00:51:48 +0000 pil 1264469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shevia. I for one have been very curious about your thrifting. I enjoyed reading your blog posts! As a youngster I was puzzled by gray vs grey, as the street my grandparents lived had 'Grey' in it. My elementary school teacher corrected me on a paper </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-started-a-blog-about-thrifting#post-1264150 Thu, 29 May 2014 18:11:17 +0000 Anonymous 1264150@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Jaime, that's so exciting! I understand the fear and trepidation you feel as well. You're going to be great! All of your subjects sound right up my alley. Add a section on going through peri-menopause and I'll be your biggest fan. </p> <p>ETA: OMG, it's&nbsp;<i>already</i> fabulous, and lots of good content on there. I love a good read, thank you. Your blog is brilliant!</p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-started-a-blog-about-thrifting#post-1264025 Thu, 29 May 2014 15:01:22 +0000 Angie 1264025@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats.

I'm looking forward to reading more of it. I like to thrift too, and went grey last year. That's when I came across YLF. I needed to learn how to work with my new look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-started-a-blog-about-thrifting#post-1263988 Thu, 29 May 2014 14:24:01 +0000 Debra 1263988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good on you it sounds wonderful so I'm off for a look </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-started-a-blog-about-thrifting#post-1263964 Thu, 29 May 2014 14:01:23 +0000 JG 1263964@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was daydreaming yesterday and mused, if I could spend a day with a Fabber I've never met, who would I choose? My first thought was that I would visit you so we could shop your favorite thrift stores! Reading your blog will be a pleasure that I can actually fit into my budget and schedule, and without imposing on you. (You'll "see" me there in a few days. I have to finish reading two book club books before Monday, so my free time isn't.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-started-a-blog-about-thrifting#post-1263957 Thu, 29 May 2014 13:54:54 +0000 LACeleste 1263957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will follow! &nbsp;Best of luck in your new venture! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-started-a-blog-about-thrifting#post-1263938 Thu, 29 May 2014 13:29:58 +0000 doubleh 1263938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations! &nbsp;I am following...:)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-started-a-blog-about-thrifting#post-1263932 Thu, 29 May 2014 13:15:20 +0000 Jaime 1263932@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Chadya</b> I don't think I would have done it if not for the brilliant company out there!<br /><b>Suz</b>, you know I would be more than delighted to count you among my readers!
