Vintage clothes + ? = Profit!

This market recap is so overdue! In short, the Georgetown Farmer’s Market was a total success! I’m still in shock about how well it went. Half my stock is gone, and now I’m frantically searching the Puget Sound for more treasures for my racks this weekend. Well, I took a break from clothes gathering yesterday to try paddleboarding, which might now be my second favorite board sport.

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about the folks who organize that market, as well as the vendors. They were all so ridiculously friendly! I even got to trade a jacket and sweater for veggies! I found out that the market organizers are the same people who organize the Fremont Sunday Market, which I love love love. I actually hold that market responsible for my addiction to vintage clothes, which I’m totally okay with. The Georgetown Market is still new, and steadily growing. Thank goodness I went with the smaller market before the Sunday beast! I would have been so overwhelmed in Fremont! Wow! But you know what’s crazy? If I did the Georgetown Market every Saturday each month, I’d make about three times what I was making at my (very low paying) last full time job. WHAT?! Is this real life?

This week I’ve been steadily picking up beauties from my top secret vintage clothes spots, and I’m heading out on a trip today to find more treasures in small towns (and to also totally avoid my 26th birthday which is tomorrow). (26? Are you kidding me? Wasn’t I just turning 20 last year?) (Anyways!)

I bought a new rack, and I’m feeling pretty ballsy, so I’m planning on being at the Georgetown Market on Saturday, then to Fremont on Sunday if I have enough left to fill my racks with. If you’re wanting for new additions to your closet and have some extra doll-hairs, come by! And even if you don’t have either of those things, come by anyway! The market is amazing.

ALSO! Thank you thank you thank you so much to you sweethearts who came to visit me on my very first market day last Saturday! You guys are the best!

Here are some links to both markets:

Also! Look out for the guest post on the horizon! It’s going to be great!

Keep it real, ya’ll!
