I love road trips!
I spent most of my day yesterday in Toledo, Ohio buying goodies for the website. I spent a few hours in different thrift stores in the area (which I hadn’t been to in years) and got some real gems including an 80’s Diane Von Furstenberg sweater, an old school Detroit Tigers shirt, some David Bowie albums and some awesome sweatshirts - LA Gear, IOU, Sassoon, and New York Yankees - all from the 80’s! I was also really excited to find a Ben Folds shirt from his Rockin the Suburbs tour (that one’s for me!).
Next I met with Shayna who had contacted me quite a long time ago wanting to sell a collection of womens vintage clothing she’d decided to part with. After lots of emails back and forth we were actually going to meet! Shayna and her friend were super nice and a real pleasure to meet. I bought some fantastic dresses, skirts, shirts and coats from her and am excited to begin photographing them along with an entire closet here in our house full of womens clothing next week!
It was a really fun road trip, and perfect weather for the day. I met with Dan after he got off work in Ann Arbor and we had a great dinner in the city and a couple of pints of Strongbow. I can’t wait to move out that way - each time I go to that area I get more and more excited. Now if we could only sell our house here in Pontiac…
I managed to stay awake and watch the Pistons game (which was a real nail biter, but I’m so glad they won!), but fell asleep soon afterwards from my exhausting but awesome day.
I’m thinking I’ll make Toledo a more regular day trip for the website! Maybe I can even carve a couple hours out to check out the Toledo zoo!
