@tansy @jquillin @kristenfanarakis ok! Thanks for the great link explaining it. Here’s my #secondhandseptember post… a little vintage glass vase I bought at the Iowa State Fair! My son went to college in Iowa and before he finished I wanted to go see this legendary gathering! Was so fun, corn dogs, violin competitions, rides and animals. This little vase brings back memories of that trip with my college son and a few of his friends.

Some recent charity shop finds I'm sharing for #SecondHandSeptember

The last couple of shirts I've bought have been "men's", I've found the shape works for me (plus they give me the good gender feels).
The pearls were too pretty and obviously had big #OFMD vibes.
I took a photo of the lamp to send to my partner to ask if he was in agreement that we needed this 😂 as we were looking for one for the bedroom.
I actually think the shorts are kind of ugly but they're perfect for hot days at home!

The weekend is a great time to pick a #SecondhandSeptember photo or story to post 💗

It could be something you thrifted, were gifted, repaired or swapped...

I recently watched Diva again for the first time in ages and was happy with how well it held up. A friend recommended the books. They've just come into my possession...

Essential hat for this weather.

Found it in a charity shop this summer, with the tag still attached.

Welcome aboard! The basic idea is to post a photo and/or story of your favourite secondhand item using #SecondhandSeptember

@jquillin @tansy @kristenfanarakis I didn’t know about #secondhandseptember but it’s a fantastic idea. Is it about buying or sharing second hand things?

@rosjackson It's such a good thing to do.

Nice short piece on how to make new #fashion habits for #SecondhandSeptember and beyond...

@jquillin @kristenfanarakis Love it!! That is a great find :) #SecondhandSeptember

#secondhandSeptember
I try to buy more #secondhand generally. But tbh this mostly means "getting stuff from family members" (bedsheets, towels, Tupperware, mugs,...) or out of my own drawers (old writing supplies still in that drawer, stuff I forgot I owned,...).
But my wardrobe today is almost 70% secondhand, from family members, friends or bought online.

I'll go first with a #SecondhandSeptember photo 🙈 📸

This home-made knitted jumper is one of my most recent charity shop finds. I found it in a hospice charity shop in #Bristol and the colours jumped out at me - when I picked it up and saw the contrasting sleeves I knew I had to buy it.

The boots are also #secondhand - I got them on fashion resale site Vinted after repeated searches for 'vegan cowboy boots.'

@forschungstorte Awesome!
I hope we can make #SecondhandSeptember catch on in the fediverse this year - seems like a natural fit 🌍

Who wants to play #SecondhandSeptember?

Reply to this post, or use #SecondhandSeptember and share something you love which you got second-hand.

What might you post?

#Fashion! A favourite item or outfit, where you got it, & why you love it. Coz apparently we already have enough clothes to dress the next six generations 👗 🙄

#Electronics, furniture, jewellery, kitchenware... whatever takes your fancy + pushes back against overproduction.

You can also tag someone to invite them to post 💚 🌍

I'm glad I buy most of my clothes second hand

If every adult in UK bought half their next wardrobe second hand it could prevent 12.5 billion kilos of carbon dioxide emissions entering the atmosphere

This looks like a worthwhile idea.
