I Love Thrifting Houston Style


We had a fabulous time at the 1st annual I love Thrifting Party created by Mr. Goodwill Hunting and hosted by a number of bloggers from different cities.  We had a great turn out in Houston.  The party was held at A Perfect Fit Resale Boutique and Clothes for Kids Resale.

Owner Marie Pace, from A Perfect Fit Resale Boutique, brings her southern hospitality to anyone who enters her store and offers a frequent buyer program, monthly sales and lay-a-way.  If you’re ever in Houston, check them out and tell them Katie Mac sent you!

Now, who wants to thrift on an empty stomach?  Not Houston!  We had a fruit and cheese tray, summer sausage, and crackers....all with a glass of Pinot Grigio….now we’re off and ready to shop!

A perfect fit resale boutique has a wide selection of name brand women’s clothing, shoes, and accessories…so many choices, what’s a girl to do?  SHOP till she drops!

The DIY girls!

If you need to pick something up for the kiddo's, no worries, we've got you covered! Roxanne Weideman is the owner of Clothes for Kids Resale the oldest resale shop in Houston.  Her shop has a huge selection of children’s clothing from sizes newborn to 16.  Another special treat is to see “Smokey” the cat who can be found chilling at the checkout counter.

I handed out The Mac Styles Survival Kit.  It had everything you need to keep you going for a full day of thrifting - water, snack, antibacterial lotion and my business card..LOL  

I received such positive feedback that I’m thinking of hosting another party.  We can’t wait till next year!
I wanted to send a special thank you to everyone who came out. We had a wonderful day of thrifting and making new friends.

Hello Kitty


My love of Hello Kitty goes as far as elementary school, and over the years I’ve become an avid collector of all things Hello Kitty.  Luckily, most of my trinkets have been gifts from family and friends. 


Two years ago I was visited the Sanrio store in New York and had a blast buying stuff.  I would love to visit the store in Japan!

My most precious treasure is my Hello Kitty Build a Bear doll…that I found brand new at the thrift store!
The Hello Kitty Vans tennis shoes are next on my wish list…..
