To Help You in Your Non-Spending (Sort Of...)

This showed up in my in-box a couple of weeks ago (thanks Sofia), and I was intrigued...

"Recessionistas rejoice!Anthropologie stores around the country are hosting a series of reinvention workshops, teaching shoppers how to get more out of the existing items in their wardrobes. Past seminars have been devoted to making hair accessories, wrapping packages with scarves, reinventing plush toys, refashioning blouses and revamping last year's gloves and hats. To find out when the next one is in your area, check with your local store."

Now, for me, this is not a viable spending deterrent, as merely stepping foot inside an Anthropologie store at this point is pretty much a recipe for disaster, but it's a cool idea nonetheless, no?
