The Macklemore Thrift Shop Challenge

Last Friday, John & Sherry from YHL (yup, I'm on a first name basis with them since we met) posed a challenge. Based on the exuberant rap song about thrifting, they challenged us to virtually go thrifting together!

My Thrift Store

I chose this hidden gem of a thrift store. Like most Californians, I use Yelp for almost everything and that's exactly how I found a store for this challenge. The store has limited hours and is operated solely by retired older women. They were so sweet to me and even carved out a spot in the back room for me to nurse the baby.

My Spoils

I went thrifting on a mission to find baby clothes. No luck, but I did find a small photo album for 50 cents. I'm planning on using this to make a photo book of family faces for the baby.

Scavenger Hunt

This was the fun part, even though I did feel a little weird wondering around by myself snapping pictures (while wearing a baby). Here's what I found from the song...

Big A$$ Coat (bonus points for fur?)

Shoes with velcro

Brown leather jacket

A velour pant suit

And other oddities, just for fun...

I think the wooden shoes are my favorite!

Happy  thrifting.
