We got her out of the jumble of toys in the cardboard box, with her hair all tangled, wearing only a pair of oversized hoop earrings. V. gave her a nice bath and put her in one of the dresses Grandma made, and we're going to try to help her get an office job.

Pictures of the kimono and related items I bought from a tiny second-hand shop I found in Arashiyama, Kyoto.

I bought:

Black Haori (3000)

Pale Green Haori (1000)

White/Black Kimono (5000)

Green/Blue Kimono (2000)

Blue Rainbow Obi Set (2500)

White Tabi Socks (1000)

Red Cord Zori Shoes (1500)

There are expected minor imperfections, mostly on the insides along common sweat stain areas or a few possible sunburn spots. I believe they're all mainly silk though, and they're very well-made.

The obi is a premade-type, so I don't have to learn how to tie it! Thank god, otherwise I'd never wear these.

Taken for our Camera Club monthly project: January - Movement.

The camera, with an ND8 filter, was set on manual for a timed exposure to capture the movement of the second hand on the clock in our study.

Taken with my Canon EOS 7D and Canon EF 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Lens, and framed in Photoshop.

To view in light box - press 'L' on your keyboard.

Top - Second hand a couple of years ago, not sure how much.

Skirt - salvation army $5

Stockings - red cross $2

Shoes - Salvation army $6

Armwarmers - made by me (wool second hand, maybe $1)

Medium weight cotton napkins. There are four of them, probably never used.

I kid you not. It says "Edith Head for Pan American" right on the label of this navy wraparound jumper. Too bad I can't really wear it as a dress, because it is meant to go over a shirt and skirt and flaps open dangerously in the back. But it was on the clearance rack at Crossroads for like $8 so I bought it anyway. Deep front pockets for peanuts.

my new dollie, my first bjd. <33

i love her. She is the perfect size and she is so poseable and so photogenic and so adorable and chubby and flawed in the most cute way and just asdfghjkl

i've wanted a bjd for like... over half a year. So having one is kind of really surreal. (Since a lot have asked, she is a littlefee, meaning YOSD size, 25 cm.)

I dont know what to call her yet, though..

I have taken a lot of photos of her and i think i will take even more in the future, so i hope you like her because i will spam you, heh. :D

A super girlfriend, she is my second hand in this photo

Shot in mainz.

In a street close to a secondhand shop.

A laurel made from secondhand sheets and lace.

Here in Benin, old lace tablecloth/curtains are used everywhere: hairnets, coverings for food so flies don’t come in, privacy curtains at doors and windows, and more.

What I enjoy more is buying the lace. In the US, we throw out things that are in perfectly good condition, but where do they actually go? One answer is Africa, where our unwanted stuff is resold in piles on the streets here. It’s fun to “thrift” for the fabric here and then make something out of materials originally destined for the trash.

I bought a lace sheet and a curtain sheet to line it with, however since the lace was already heavy this dress is very thick and more suited for winter. I finished the edges with bias tape facing & added pockets because they’re just too useful to leave out.

I wrote more in my sewing journal here: cathywu.com/journal/treadling/2013/04/14/secondhand-lace-...

New toy FSLR,a second-hand Nikon F80. Finally，I can take a look at the visual effect of 18mm in 135 full frame format. It's so cheap and good money-for-value.

"Father has a business strictly secondhand

Everything from toothpicks to a baby grand

Stuff in our apartment came from father's store

Even things I'm wearing someone wore before

It's no wonder that I feel abused

I never get a thing that ain't been used

I’m wearing secondhand hats

Secondhand clothes

That’s why they call me

Secondhand Rose

Even our piano in the parlor

Father bought for ten cents on the dollar

Secondhand curls

I'm wearing secondhand pearls

I never get a single thing that's new

Even Jake the Plummer, he's the man I adore

Had the nerve to tell me he's been married before!

Everyone knows that I'm just Secondhand Rose

From Second Avenue..." Hanley & Clarke
