Well thankfully, the gods of vintage are always with me. Today especially so! I discovered this website the other day that will tell you all the thrift stores in a certain city, ThriftShopper, and it has changed my life! I found THREE places that are within miles of where I usually go (out of town) that I had never been. Two Value Worlds and one Salvation Army. So now my thrift tours will take more time, but be more successful! I love how every place has it's thing...like some have great shoes, but crap dresses, some have amazing bags and coats and nary a shoe I care for. And what I realized also today was how much I have to CARE about an item to buy it for the shop. Every item I pick up and consider prompts me to ask myself, "do I care about this dress/blouse/coat..etc?" If the answer is no, it's nearly impossible for me to put the energy into putting the shop. There are times that I know an item will sell, but it's just not right for the shop whereas my taste is concerned, so I pass it up.
Today I found 4 huge garbage bags of things that made the CareCut, and well, now I have my work to do. I took some shoe photos, but aside from that everything has to wait as I am off to Pennsylvania for the weekend (yes I have mapped out the thrift stores to hit too!). So, I will leave you with these beauties I got today and will eventually make in into Dear Golden!
Also, if anyone knows of anything vintage-y worth checking out in Reading, PA or even Pittsburgh, please tell me about it! :)
