The view from St Louis on Resale

June 12, 2012 by Auntie Kate of Too Good to be Threw

A non-profit thrift store? Yes!

One of the most beloved parts of NARTS Conference every year is the Friday Resale Shop Bus Tours. Just which shops we’ll visit is a closely-guarded secret until you get on the buses… so I have no idea if the following St. Louis consignment, resale and thrift shops will be on the tour, but they sound fascinating!

Ya gotta love a city which has a funky thrift shop on the 4th floor of the City Museum that proudly announces its stock was “saved from the landfill”… literally.

And a vintage shop which solves the problem of robust 21st century damsels, by making vintage to order, from vintage patterns.

A NFP thrift store catering to a hip crowd… so hip it has a texting lounge? That would be [RE]FRESH

I’m sure whatever shops we’ll visit will be wonderful… so bring your camera, some printed-out copies of Visiting Other Resalers from TGtbT.com, and plenty of cash… who can resist buying from our resale peers?
