It just sucks that thrifting got "trendy" & bigger second hand stores are taking advantage of that by raising prices. Then there is the reseller element too.
I dunno man, just sucks to remember to good old days & think about all the neat stuff I used to find for cheap 😔

Went thrifting today...it didn't bring as much joy as it use to. Everything is so expensive or cheap feeling. Anything that was good quality was more $ than I want to spend on something second hand. I did manage to find some fabric bundles for under $5 that I snagged.

This has been a horrible Friday. I'm dealing with a disgruntled customer pissed about a missing package, a case of mild food poisoning and my chronic fatigue decided to kick into overdrive as a fun little cherry on top of everything.

so far in my research I've discovered this fabric was a nice flowy rayon (of course it was,this stuff is from the late 40's) came in black & navy, but was I think only sold in a variety of dress styles & not just the fabric itself was for sale. If so, I am very sad. examples I've found below 👇👇

Oh gosh what I could make out of a couple yards of this fabric... I don't even care it it only came in navy. I'd make it work with my wardrobe somehow. See this is why looking at old magazines and vintage fabric is dangerous for my already empty wallet 😞

The fact that an artist who sells pieces for millions and whose other graffiti is globally celebrated and protected created this statement about the UK government which the government desperately hid and destroyed literally would have been nowhere as effective in its meaning if they just left it up.

They erased the new Banksy mural in London. But the stain remains.

Side-by-side images of Banksy’s mural on the Royal Courts of Justice in London. On the left, the artwork appears faded and scrubbed, leaving only a ghostly outline of a judge raising a gavel over a protester holding a placard. On the right, the mural is fully visible in sharp black and white stencil, showing a judge in a traditional white wig and robes striking down at a protester who defends himself with a bloodied sign.

I've decided I'm going to try and recreate this Meta skirt I sold back in 2019. I've regretted selling it, so I think I'm going to try and recreate it. I don't have the exact fabric obviously, but with all of the fabric I've been hoarding I must HAVE something that can fit the bill 🤔
