Amanda recently got the opportunity to rumage through a hoarder house. Maybe seeing this as an "opportunity" is up for debate but (spoiler alert) this one turned out to be full of amazing finds!

In part one of this story, Amanda gets into how she was able to develope a relationship with someone who runs estate sales and helps clear out homes when a person has passed. It's lead to some memorable adventures and fantastic finds

Next week we will hear part two, where Amanda gets into actually digging through the piles.

There are 3....afflictions that make Amanda put even the most lovely of vintage items back on the shelf. They are:

1. Shattered Silk
2. Devil's Dust
3. Perished Elastic

This week Amanda goes into detail on how to detect and avoid clothing that has deteriorated beyond repair. Plus we'll go over some thoughts on how to deal with (and maybe even make use of) these devilish garments if they have made it into your home.
