((I’m headed off to Girl’s Camp with my church this week, so please enjoy this trip through the archives in the meantime. And get excited for The Mystery Thrift Off, which will officially begin next week! Today’s post was originally published in 2011.))
This chair submission arrived in my inbox with nary an explanation. There was simply a before and an after, signed by “J.” Mysterious!
I’m not sure but I’m pretty sure that “J” is probably a very well-known celebrity. I bet “J” wants to keep his or her thrift-loving identity secret, so the whole world doesn’t find out that “J” would rather recover a moldy old chair than buy a new one for half a million dollars at Barney’s, or wherever ridiculously rich people buy furniture. I wouldn’t know.
Possible possibilities include: Jack Johnson, James Franco, Janet Reno, Jay-Z, Jerry Seinfeld, Joey Lawrence or Joan Cusack. Hmmmm.
