Join us as we prove that retail therapy works best when it smells faintly of mothballs and nostalgia. One of us is a seasoned antique whisperer, with the smiley-face cart to prove it. The other still thinks “vintage” means last season’s Amazon finds. Join us on the quest for the “unicorn” of thrifting: the mythical 70’s Penny Lane jacket. Let us teach you how to thrift and lunch with your bestie, and as a bonus lesson, we even hit up a fun and funky vintage boutique. Along the way, we discover that there’s an art to antiquing—and if you’re not careful, you’ll leave with a tambourine you definitely don’t need but somehow deeply connect with.

Moral of the story: Therapy is expensive. Antique fairs are cheaper—and way more entertaining.
