Alpharetta home filled with garage sale finds
For 15 years, Mary Shaw has spent countless hours sifting through thrift stores and yard sales to find unique treasures at a fraction of their original cost. Her Alpharetta home is decorated with the fruits of her labor. Shaw currently has four wedding dresses, all from garage sales or Goodwill. Because the trim on the old gowns is expensive if bought at a fabric store, she saves money by cutting it off and reusing it when fixing up other items. PHIL SKINNER/pskinner@ajc.com
