CalamityJem,
Glad you found us.
Finding someone that has collected stuff for years and being to get a good deal always feels great.

Hi there,
Newbie to your blog & I must say it’s a really riveting read!
I live in London and over here we haven’t really got yard sales, our closest equivalent would be a car boot- or jumble sale.
The best thing that has ever happened to me, vintage clothing wise, was when I fortuitously met a woman who had been hoarding vintage clothing for years and was desperate to get rid of it…she sold me fourteen bagfuls for £150
I was that selling stuff on eBay for years & I still have loads left of it and as for the £150, I think I can safely say that I have made that back several times over.
Now that I’ve found your blog, I’ll definitely be back for more, in fact I can see myself developing a bit of an addiction
It’s so much fun seeing what you guys manage to unearth & amass.
xXx

Looks and sounds as if you have had a great time at this sale. It is rare to find any vintage clothing outside a specialist shop around here so I guess I don’t really iknow what I am missing – probably a good job else I would pine.
Have to admit that you are right in saying you get on a High after finding good sale, trouble is you can get withdrawl symptoms as well!

I love vintage clothing and I love the rush you get from finding a whole stash of it. Just yesterday I must obtained a half dozen 60s and 70s dresses from the crappy thrift store near my campus. All for 4.94 and under.

Sounds like you you had a good run. But we’ve got to either see the clothing modeled on you or on the dress maker’s dummy of your choice.
