Lure of thrift store shopping includes price and impact

A look at two of the many thrift stores that use proceeds that benefit good causes. Video by Tim Shortt. Posted 6/21/16. Buy Photo Erin Baird-Jack's extensive wardrobe, from stylish heels to vintage and newer clothing, is all used, purchased through thrift and other bargain-centered shopping options.(Photo: Erin Baird-Jack, for FLORIDA TODAY)Buy Photo Eight years ago, a Cocoa woman decided she'd had enough of rampant consumerism, of watching perfectly good items dumped in favor of the latest and temporarily trendiest. Now, Erin Baird-Jack's spacious home in the woods on the Indian River is a memory-filled testament to her commitment to reducing her carbon footprint and reducing, reusing and recycling. Her furniture. Clothes. Dishes. Holiday decorations. All used. Even her March wedding was a no-new gala, with thrift store, Craigslist and borrowed finds, down to the wedding dress (a used prom gown) she bought on eBay and personalized with thrift-store flowers. Baird-Jack, 40, is what some might call an avid "thrifter," defined in the Urban Dictionary as "someone that religiously shops at thrift stores looking for barga... (Florida Today)

Christine Huddleston, founder of Room in the Inn, dies at 83

Christine Baird Huddleston, who served as director of Room in the Inn for 25 years, passed away April 19 at Community Care of Rutherford County. She was 83 years old. She and her late husband, Clyde, started the program in 1985. "She was a very accomplished lady," said Room in the Inn assistant director Georgene Brinkley. She considered Huddleston a mentor and a friend -- a friend who didn't sugarcoat the truth. She said Huddleston's most famous aphorism was, "You have to be compassionate, but call a spade a spade." "Christine was just a jewel," said Jane Sharp. "She just did a marvelous job." Before starting Greenhouse Ministries she and her husband Cliff were active with Room in the Inn, during its early years. "Now, she was a tough mama," said Sharp, "but she was passionate." Many who stayed at the shelter went on to complete their educations, and when they did, "she went to every single graduation," said Brinkley. A minor traffic accident in December 2013 triggered a stroke, leaving her whee... (Murfreesboro Post)
