thrifting in my home town has been very dry...not much about at all...or Ive missed by 10mins
Hello,
Been on my summer break since last week, but the gas prices is keeping me close to home. As of next month, I will officially be a homeowner for over a year. I had so many memories of my mom that I bought a home. then, a few months later my transmission went up and I had to buy a car. She told me before she died that I would have to do a lot on my own. No cosignor on either. My responsibilities. Houses in this neighborhood are selling for 500k plus. I live next door to a a pharmacist for CVS.
The vendors at the flea market are complaining because they bid auctions online and not in-person anymore. I found a vintage metal mannequin that I plan to keep to steam clothes for $15 at the thrift store.
Lots of Christmas decorations, Halloween decorations and Thanksgiving decorations for free at the free place. I got these adorable Santa boot trees for free. six of them. They are little trees.
Got a T Alexander Wang shirt For three dollars at the flea market. It had the real real tag.

I've nearly stopped thrifting. You have to go to a lot of stores without much success. Almost all major thrift stores sell nicer things online now so there is not much in the stores unless it is a brand they haven't heard of.
I still thrift several times a week but due to a recent back injury I haven't been going much. I have found some clothing items but there has been a major handbag shortage and, when I find them, they're like $89.99 Kate Spade handbags. It's gotten tougher to find good items for nothing. They've caught on.
I still go, it's slim pickings out there. I do ok, but use to do better. Stores are oversaturated with "new" thrifters. They pile everything up in their baskets and then check on their phones, and put back what they don't want. Also, I believe people don't take for granted what they have before donating anymore. More than likely, they are selling online as well. Well all I can say is "what's for you, is for you", don't give up. Keep thrifting ladies and tomorrow, I will post what I've found. We need to inspire each other.
Well, that's great! Something to wear is always a plus. I go to this church thrift where everything is $2. I found cute items for my niece and I found a vintage Lanvin 2 piece loungewear. ( I think.)
Here is a Kate spade tote I scored last week:

Your good thrifting vibrations worked lady!! Manolos that are my size, basically new, for $24.99 ( $19.99 with my discount.) What a lovely birthday treat.
