Thrifting across America.

Well maybe not “across” America but more like East of the Mississippi portion of the country since we rarely drive further West than St. Louis.

One of the perks, for me anyways, of traveling to repeat cities, conventions and/or workshops is that I get to have “favorite” thrift stores that are hundreds of miles away from me.

For instance, one of my most favorite thrift stores for clothing is Park Avenue Thrift in Roswell, Georgia. I mean look at this rack pictured below!

It is ALL skirts! And not just one row of skirts, they have two rows of them! A football field length of only skirts! And, by far, the largest variety I have seen in any thrift store. If you have seen a bigger selection, please let me know! I’ll add it to my thrift-shopping list.

And why I favor this store is because I love long patterned skirts and they are all grouped together in one big long continuous rack. One side is all long skirts. The other side of the aisle is short skirts. If you’re ever in the area, check them out. But remember to factor in that you will be there for several hours. On the last trip to Atlanta, I went twice: once by myself and the second time with Eric. He found his new favorite shirt there. (Which isn’t really a big deal, because every month it seems he has a new favorite shirt.)

  1. Slim pickings for skirts and dresses here in Maine. Many reasons for this. I even went so far as to order a vintage skirt pattern online.(We have racks and racks of jeans — Maine style.)
