It’s all about thrifting: From home décor to helping teens in need

Reporter Helu Wang has become our team’s unofficial expert on thrifting, the act (some will say art) of giving second-hand pieces of clothing or furniture a new life. Last week, we launched a story on how a YouTuber from the Hudson Valley incorporates thrifted furniture and architectural salvage into her 500-square foot “Little Boho Cabin”. This week, Helu tagged along on a shopping trip at The Sharing Shelf’s new Teen Boutique expansion.

Check out Helu’s interview with influencer Kate Callahan here, and be sure to check out her story on The Teen Boutique.
