I was out shopping around charity shops today and Tweeted a couple of finds I made. I was also discussing with my girlfriend how useful the internet and Twitter in particular could be for charity shops; they would be able to Tweet about the nicer new items that come in each day and also remind people about the special sales they have every two weeks or so (We saw Chanel handbags in one charity shop on George’s St.). So I got thinking and decided that I’d set up a Twitter account that checks on Twitter for the hashtag #charitytreasure and then retweets it. Voila, the birth of @charitytreasure. So, go forth and scour the stores that you find (Capel St. and George’s St. in Dublin are pretty good for this) and tweet the finds with the tag #charitytreasure. You can share your purchases or anything you find that would be great but doesn’t fit you. I found a ton of things today that were both too big and too small for me that I wanted to share with other people. So now I can.
Looking for a mobile phone charger? The Goodwill Thrift Store on Capel St have them for €6 each #charitytreasure
