Was riding my bike around St. Helena this morning and found the Thrifty Manor tucked behind St. Helena Catholic church. Today was "fill your borsa for $2.50". I filled a paper grocery bag with several items including tshirts and some nicely colored pale green, peachy, and beige jeans that just need to be fitted. Here's a link for a step by step on tailoring your own jeans, it's so easy.

(This tutorial talks about skinny jeans but if you want to let those calfs breathe it's simple. follow the instructions but keep the line's a bit wider for a more tailored look.)
You can find business hours on the Thrifty Manor website though you'd have to visit in person to see when they're having sales. I suggest checking in at the beginning of a new season because they have a pretty small space and it seems they regularly need to clear out.
My best finds of the day were a Run DMC shirt and a children's art book about Henri Rousseau. I have a pretty decent sized collection of children's books from my travels, some in English some not, but I especially love kids books about artists they tend to be well illustrated and I don't know, maybe I secretly hope to raise little multilingual bohemians.
