Welcome to Vintage Photo Friday!

Go ahead. Make him an offer he can't refuse. 

Since amassing not one, not two, but three photo albums from Goodwill in the past few months, I've decided to start a virtual tour of my blossoming collection. Each Friday from now until the foreseeable future when I may one day run out of photos to display, I will present you with Vintage Photo Friday, a collection of thrifted wonders to delight the eye and boggle the mind. These personal snapshots, polaroids,  group poses and candid moments of people who I never met will long live in our hearts here at Let's Go Thrifting! 

So sit down and stay for our weekly vintage viewing of visual proof that not only did shoulder pads, pillbox hats and floral frocks exist, but these fashionable folks are wearing them proudly. 

The Week in Review: We're Hitting the Road

In the housebound boredom of being on temporary sick leave, I had the time to evaluate what I own and what I am willing to part with through donations and sales at my Etsy shop. I still have a bit of organizing and de-cluttering to do, though most of the trouble lies in my closet, not my collections. And since I have the rare ability to say that I'm done work at a decent hour tomorrow night, I plan to do two things:

1. Sort through unworn and ill-fitting clothes for potential Goodwill donations and organize what's left into a sensible grouping of pants, shirts, skirts, gym clothes, casual,  professional and party wear.
2. Map out an itinerary of my favorite suburban thrift stores.

On Tuesday, following my physical therapy appointment and a quick stop at the local library, I plan to properly celebrate my newly found freedom from temporary immobility by partaking in a solo Thrift Road Trip. I need to gain some fresh blog inspiration. And of course I hope to find some quirky vintage oddities, maybe stock up on some items for my shop. And....drum roll, please... I am also in search for an assemblage of items for my next Blog Follower Giveaway!

And don't think I've forgotten about The Trading Post idea. That is still very much in the works. So bloggers, readers and friends, prepare your wares for the trading. And prepare your minds for the blowing, by way of future thrift fails, weird and wonderful finds and a miscellany of misadventures!

It's a 1980's Toy Blowout Sale!
