New News!

i know i haven't posted here in a long time, but i'm back. today my boyfriend accompanied me on a thrifting adventure. we are opening a storefront soon. kevin will be operating his workshop for PIGEON, his new clothing line that is set to launch in spring 2011, and I will be slangin' my vintage finds. our store will be called Stockholm, after Stockholm Syndrome, because the space (at Folsom and Langton) was one of the places where Patty Hearst was held when she was kidnapped by the Symbionese Liberation Army (stockholm syndrome).
i'm trying to build my collection of treasures for the store, so here are some of my finds from today. we went down to the salvation army on 26th and valencia. that salvation army is great because the racks are almost always packed. tons of amazing things are hiding in the racks. i used to find some amazing shoes there but i haven't seen that many rad shoes lately. :( i gotta get out of the city to thrift a little more...i'm dying to get out to the thrift town in hayward.

we also went to the out of the closet that is just down the street from our house at 9th and folsom. i got these pants there. the fabric is amazing. its linen with totally rad amazing art deco women and scenes and the color is amazing, but the cut is definitely not that great, but the fabric is so amazing that i had to make a purchase. i was planning to take them apart and make them into a tote bag but they look so pretty against the window that i might try to make curtains instead. i dunno
this is a blouse i got at salvation army, a floral crepe piece. nicely sheer as well... it also came with a matching skirt, at first i thought the skirt was wack but i managed to transform it into a dress!!
another shirt, this print is leopard and greeen.
the hipstamatic version....i hope to write again soon & thanks for reading :) xo sasparilla greenleafs
