Well to start, my name is Morgan. I'm 20 years old, female, a third year university student. I live in Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada and everyday I am thankful to live in such a beautiful place. I love thrifting and finding awesome treasures. I am really excited to do a t-shirt swap... I can't help buying up every awesome one I see in a thrift store even if it's the wrong size.

The best thing I ever found in a thrift store was a ceramic kangaroo dresser caddy from 1956, identical to the one used by Bruce Willis' character in Pulp Fiction, which I purchased for 99 cents at the salvation army.

I have an american eskimo, Juno, and a funny old kitty, Buddy. I love them both immensely and would love for them to be incorporated into some swaps as well.
