Kate is also the author of the world's first Consignment Shop Mystery, The Picker Who PerishedKate's Chatter:
Frugality is the new chic. Or, Green is the new black. Or, why not express your own unique style? Whatever reason you like best for shopping resale, it's a sure bet that the other reasons make sense to you as well.
