Thrifting near and far

Yesterday Lise + Katina headed north to do a little thrift shopping. We woke up early, drove straight to Bellingham, and hit every shop we could on our way back down south. We thought we would share a few pictures from our trip:

1. When you get up early you get to see the gorgeous fog! | 2./3. Katina rocking a vintage 1970’s ivory blouse with modern shorts | 4./5. Lise pairs a 1950’s Adele Martin dress with a gold 1970’s ring choker and boots | 6. La-la-la-lattes! | 7. Old Town Cafe in downtown Bellingham is our new love | 8./9. Noms give energy for all day shopping | 10. We don’t know what this is, but we <3 him. | 11. A mid-century sweater with great shape to the knit – you’ll be seeing this in our shop soon (minus the duckface)! | 12. Katina has to keep this perfect 1940’s swing jacket for herself! | 13. We love summer afternoons after full days of thrifting!

Keep an eye on our store for vintage goodies – we’re posting without a theme this week, so we won’t be announcing our listings.

Shopping Day

Want to know what we’re busy doing almost every weekend? Shopping at estate sales, of course!

Our selections for Lise + Katina are chosen discerningly at a wide variety of sources to ensure that we see the full range of what’s out there! However, estate sales are our favorite places to find the best quality vintages loves (with the best stories). This is where we most often stumble upon true gems that have been meticulously stored or cared for over decades by owners who loved them just as much as we know their new owners will!

Here is a little peek into what this weekend was like for us:

Up at sunrise to be at the first sale when it opens | Coffee is a must | We found loads of handkerchiefs in perfect condition | A few extremely special treasures | A rainbow of scarves | Old fashion magazines are always a bonus!

See anything you like? Feel free to ask questions. Everything pictured is working it’s way into our store within the coming weeks!
