I've spent about 9 hours working through mounds, bags, boxes, totes, trunks of hoarded clothing and there are a few treasures that I hope will clean properly (laundry will be my life) so that I can bring them to my customers.
A few of the items:
50s summer dresses and skirts
Mostly 60s/70s blouses, white, frilly, casual camp shirts, summer sleeveless and dressy
A cache of 80s colorful brights (we'll see how that goes)
Pretty lingerie and vintage pajamas
A few wild 60s/70s mod pieces
And something I've never seen before: 40s thigh high argyle and checked knit stockings. I've seen and have old nylon/silk stockings but not "sport" stockings like these.
Most of these items were never worn with their original manufacturer or store tags but given the less than stellar storage conditions, every piece of clothing will need to be cleaned, pressed and will be paired with their original tags clipped onto my shop hang tags. Most are around a modern size 6 or small.
I expect loss in processing but I brought home 6 large bags of clothes so good stuff is coming. It will take a few weeks for these items to filter into the shop.
Hi! I noticed the cute clothes in your window front. Are you open by appointment this weekend? 5/21-5/23? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHi Dana,
ReplyDeleteI will be open regular hours on Saturday, May 22, 11-5.
If you would rather visit without other people, I understand and can come in before shop hours on Saturday or on Sunday May 23, mid-late morning.
Sadly Friday the 21st is pretty booked up with a landscaping project at the house all day and a veterinarian appointment in the late afternoon though it is possible to open after 6pm on Friday.
Let me know. Thanks for reaching out.
