The ReStores in Charlotte are great for furniture and housewares. If you like vintage you should take a trip to Asheville, several good places for vintage clothes.
Thanks for the recommendations! I'll have to check out the ReStores. I do plan on taking a trip to Asheville sometime soon. I've heard good things about the area.
Welcome to Charlotte! Some other thrifting options include : Matthews Help Center, Value Village, The Assistance League, Zab's Place in Matthews, Community Thrift on Freedom Dr, and Servant's Heart in Mint Hill. Don't miss the Goodwill Boutique ( more upscale) on South Blvd and the Second Editions...also a Goodwill store with fancier clothing. Happy thrifting!
Thank you! I'm excited to be here and explore the area. I love these recommendations! I'm going to make a list and check them all out.
I just thrifted the antique sofa and chair last Wednesday 😂
LOVE THAT! Such a great find.
I love your style. It is so unique but so well coordinated. You deserve more subscribers.
Thank you! That's so sweet, I truly appreciate that.
You are style personified. Fresh, creative, fun. Looking forward to seeing more from NC.
Aw, thank you for such an incredible compliment. I can't wait to share more from NC.
LOVE LOVE LOVE SEEING YOU! THANKS FOR SHARING IN YOUR JOURNEY! BIG HUG CUTIE!
Aw, thank you! I appreciate all your support, it truly brings me joy.
The "old money" area of Charlotte is the Myers Park area . . any thrift stores in that area may have more vintage. Also . . East Boulevard . . South Boulevard . .
Great pro tip! I have to search around those areas. Thank you!
And Randolph / Providence areas, as well as Sharon Road/Southpark areas. The ReStore on Eastway is also large!
@@monmur7952 Thank you! I love all of these recommendations. 🥰
I can't leave a beautiful vintage coat behind. I can never stick to a season when shopping. When I find a beautiful piece, it has to come with me. This is also why I have to limit my trips to the thrift. I have run out of space, and I love it all. 😂
I hear that! There are so many incredible pieces out there.
The Sleepy Poet is an antique mall that has a large vintage section 😊 happy hunting!
Oh love that recommendation. Adding it to my list. Thank you!
Yes, I second the Sleepy Poet on South!
Welcome to NC. I live about 1.5 hours west of Charlotte. I have had some really great luck thrifting in the small-town local charity shops and they have the best prices I have to say. And on the first of the month they have half and sometimes 75% off sales. So much fun :)
Thank you! I'm excited to be here. I'll have to expand my scope to outside of the city. I appreciate the pro tip!
@@TheRELMCo Meant to tell you, I love how you style everything!!!
Aw, thank you! Such an incredible compliment.
I love your style and headscarf! Cute finds too!
Thank you! I'm all about the head scarves these hot summer days.
Welcome to Charlotte! Salvation Army, in Kannapolis has half price clothing on Wednesdays. I find their furniture to be pricier than Goodwill. But, the Habitat for Humanity Restore is right up the street from there. Have fun thrifting! IMO keep the bedspread a bedspread.
Thank you so much! I appreciate the recommendations. I love a good deal, so I'll check out that location on a Wednesday.
I LOVE THE MATTELESSAE BED SPREAD. WHAT A FIND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND... IF THS WAS NOT A MONTH OLD...I WOULD BE GOING TO BUY THAT TO DIE FOR WHITE DINING TABLE WITH ALL THE ROSES AND EMBELLISHMENTS ON IT. OH MY LORD.... IT WAS GORGEOUS! WHO COULD POSSIBLY HAVE MADE/SOLD THAT TABLE????? I CAN'T EVEN THINK OF A STORE OR WEBSITE TO FIND ONE LIKE IT!!!!!
OH, I LIVE 30 MILES AWAY FROM YOU! JUST UP NORTH I77 IN DOWNTOWN MOORESVILLE. SUBSCRIBED AND WILL BE WATCHING WHERE YOU GO! I LOVE THE MENS SHIRTS! I'M ALWAYS BUYING CHECK MENS SHIRTS FOR MY GROWN OLDER SONS WITH YOUNG FAMILIES. I LOVE A MAN IN THESE SHIRTS SO MUCH THAT I BUY THEM IN WOMENS MADE FROM AMAZON FROM NICER SHOPS NOT FROM CH8INA. I HAVE BLACK AND WHITE AND BABY BLUE , LEAVE HEMS OUT, ROUNDED, AND WEAR YEAR ROUND WITH MY WHITE SKINNY JEANS AND HIGH ESPRADRILLES IN EACH COLOR. I HAVE A MASSIVE SHOE COLLECTION AND TURNED MY GUEST BEDROOM INTO A LARGE DRESSING ROOM. SHOES ON MANY WHITE IKEA SHELVES,

I BOUGHT REAL SOLID BRASS OVER THE DOOR HOOKS WITH TWO HOLDERS EACH THAT I CAN SPREAD OVER ONE DOOR. ALL MY LV BAGS ARE ALREADY TAKING UP THE BATHROOM DOOR BACK! BEST I CAN DO RIGHT NOW. HAVE A 1600 SQ FT COTTAGE BUILT IN THE 40'S. IT DOES NOT HAVE MUCH CHARM AND NEEDS LOTS MORE FIXING UP, BUT I HAVE A MASSIVE AMOUNT OF THINGS. COLLECTIONS OF TOO MANY THINGS. I'M 65, HAVE A SPINE DISEASE, AND ALL I CAN DO IS COOK WAY EASY THINGS, QUICKLY, BUT TRYING TO EAT MEATLESS AND TONS OF VEGGIES. COOKING FROM TIK TOK FAV EASY IDEAS FOR HIGH PROTEIN, SOME MEAT.

@@dannagordon9618 Wasn't the table beautiful! I would have purchased it if I had the space for it. 🥰
Welcome to Charlotte (The Queen City). I just happened onto your channel and subscribed, after all you are a Sister Charlottean. There are Salvation Army and Goodwill Stores N,S,E,W of you and the small surrounding cities. I would say within 30 miles tops in either direction. When I drive to another city like Gastonia, I check to see what's in the area to make the most of my visit. Again...WELCOME.
Thank you! I'm excited to be here, so far it's lovely. And I love and appreciate the pro tip! I'm looking forward to exploring Charlotte's thrift and vintage scene.
Welcome to nc. My husband was born and raised Charlotte. We're in salisbury now. His dad is actually from lynn, mass. There's a goodwill outlet i believe on Wilkinson. Its the bins so you pay by pound
Thank you! I'm so excited to be here and to explore the city and state. Thank you for the recommendation. I will have to check that Goodwill out. I upcycle so pay by the pound is perfect.
If you haven't been to Clearing House on Central, it's a unique place for home stuff, prices go down every time it hits a date on the tag.
Love that! Thank you so much for the recommendation!
Welcome to CLT ! I'm close to the NC|/SC border. Sweet Repeat Charitable Foundation in Lake Wylie, SC is nice. The Rat's Nest
Vintage Store at 442 E 36th St., Charlotte, North Carolina 28205. Do you Sew??? If so, Upcycle Arts is fun to go to! 3046-A Eastway Dr, Charlotte, NC, United States, 28205. I love to sew! Have any more question please let me know!
I love all of these recommendations, thank you so much. I'm going to check out all of these places. Yes, I also love sewing. What kinds of things do you sew?
I love to sew handbags to tote bags . I have made curtains to kitchen towels. Clothes for the family. But most of all clothes for myself 😊. Sewing is my happy 😃 ❤ I started in my 20’s . Took a break for another 20 plus years to raise my son. Now back at it for about the past 10 years.
Dianevaug9867 I live on border of NC/SC too
@@DeeV2001 I love that! Sewing is so fulfilling. I started sewing as a teenager but have been on and off again. I'm finally getting back into it. 🥰
@@christined2495 Love that! I keep wanting to explore the neighborhoods down there.
Love the gingham. Check out the (oversized) rickrack trend and design something with the gingham.
I like the blanket as is.
Love your head scarf style!
Oh, thanks for the pro tip! I'll research the oversized rickrack trend, that sounds lovely. I'm leaning towards keeping the blanket as is too. I think if there was a stain or a tear I could justify cutting into it, but I think for now I will keep it.
Welcome to Charlotte!❤
Thank you! I'm very excited to be here.
I hope Charlotte works for you. I’m from Boston too I miss those thrift/vintage stores. Now in Phx love, love stores here. The scarves look fabulous on you especially the red one with red lip. Looking forward to the gingham looks. Hmm!!! the white bedding would be great on the bed… I’m just saying😊
Thank you! It will be an adventure. How's the thrift/vintage in PHX? Yeah, I'm leaning towards keeping it a blanket..at least for now.
I second keeping the blanket as is, cuz it’s waaaaay too hot 10 months out of the year down here to wear any type of jacket. I’m also a transplant from up north and it’s been really sad not being able to wear my sweaters 😂
@@winterwrenn Yeah, I think you're right, I will keep it a blanket. 😀 I haven't experienced the winter here, but it sounds like it's not too cold. I'm originally from Southern California. We didn't have cold winters there either.
Welcome to the Carolinas! This August is being very kind with her weather. My favorite thrift shop is in Kershaw, SC. About an hour south of of Charlotte. It’s called the Exchange. I got a Lane full leather love seat for $12.50! Beautiful color too. They don’t put out any clothing that is stained or ripped. I’ve found great vintage pieces and wonderful men’s sweaters. Small town thrifting is definitely cheaper than downtown. Have you made anything with the gingham yet?
Thank you! I'm loving it here. July was a bit too hot, but August is lovely so far. I will add the Exchange to my list of places to check out; it sounds like the pricing and quality are incredible. I LOVE small-town thrifting! You usually find the most unique pieces (which are my favorite). I've started a project with the purple Gingham but haven't completed it yet.
@@TheRELMCo July was indeed brutal. September, October, and November are usually bliss. I adore a good corn maze.
@@wendyduncan9084 The fall season is my favorite, so I'm looking forward to it. It's already started to cool down, which has been quite lovely. 🥰
@@TheRELMCo That was just Mother Nature giving you a taste. Prepare for scorching heat again next week. I did thrift some wonderful fall things this week since the weather was so inspiring.
@@wendyduncan9084 🤣It truly felt like fall was arriving, and I'm so ready for it. I love a good fall thrift haul (it's my favorite season). What did you end up getting? 🥰
Love the gingham 👕 ❤
Thank you! They were incredible finds.
Beautiful bedspread, as is, super price. And yes, how do you keep your headscarf from sliding? 😊
It was a great find and in incredible condition. I have hair pins holding my scarf in place. I usually have a barrette or clip on each side holding it in place. It adds to the aesthetic.
I COLLECT SILK SCARVES AND USUALLY TOO SMALL TO PUT ON MY HEAD SO I MATCH THEM TO MY OUTFIT, PURSE, AND TIE THEM ONTO PURSE WITH PRETTY KNOT. ONLY THING I CAN USE IT FOR! AND CAN ONLY WEAR THEM IN THE WINTER!!! BUT I ADORE SILK SCARVES!
@@dannagordon9618 They are such an incredible accessory and so versatile. 😍
check out Thrift Pony in Plaza Midwood
Thank you! I've heard good things. I will add it to my list to check out.
@@TheRELMCo This Saturday (08/24) the Thrift Pony has a pop up market in their parking lot with 20+ vintage vendors. It's so fun and an opportunity to find unique items.
@@kristinscala9324 Thank you for the recommendation! I've been wanting to visit Thrift Pony for months. I love a good vintage market. 🥰
Welcome to the neighborhood 😄
Hi from Lexington, NC
Hi! Thank you so much! I'm so excited to be here and explore the area a bit more.
Welcome to Charlotte. I’m close by in Hickory. I just moved from Charlotte.
Thank you!!!! I'm so excited to be here. Do you have any must go-to recommendations?
Welcome to CLT 💜💜💜💜
Thank you so much! I'm very excited to be here.
Welcome to Charlotte I’m in Harrisburg near the NASCAR speedway 😊❤😊
Thank you! I'm loving it here. I'm still adjusting to the humidity, but it's not much different from the humidity in Boston.
Quilted mid-length coat…gorgeous
Right! That's what I was thinking.
Cute pieces. Love the outfit you're wearing. Also, how do you tie the scarf to prevent sliding?
Thank you! It was look was perfect for a warm summer day. I have hair pins holding my scarf in place. I usually have a barrette or clip on each side holding it in place. It adds to the look.
You should check out Amy’s Closet in Denver & Penny Thrift in Stanley, both support women in need.
Love the recommendations! Thank you! I will check them both out.
Pls list the places you went ❤ty
Great call out! I added the location in the description of the video.
Te extrañe 😍😃😍
Aw, thank you so much! I'm hoping to keep posting more consistently. I really missed making content.
Hi new Charlottean, Thrifting is so much better than trying to enjoy the hot humid weather. I would love to make things and upcycle. You will probably like some of the places other people listed. I made note of a few I’ve not been to. Some Goodwills are definitely better like the one in Weddington. East of Charlotte (not mentioned) are many thrift shops including I’ll Second That, Matthews and Monroe Habitat for Humanity, Second Chance in Monroe and Waxhaw, Zabs Place in Matthews, and Good Stewart and several others that have been in Monroe a long time. I didn’t mention them all. Lots of farms and produce stands to visit too ❤.
I’d make placemats with the gingham shirts and maybe a centerpiece with gingham ribbon. I might tie die the bedspread or make it boho with elephant prints and daisies. The slip scares me lol.
Thank you for the amazing recommendations. I'm adding them to my list. I do love all the farmer's markets and pop-up vintage markets here. It seems like there's something happening every weekend which is so much fun.
I love the idea of placements, I have a few ideas saved on my "upcycle/sewing" Pinterest board. Haha, yeah slip dressing isn't for everyone.
NOOOOOO DON'T YOU DARE RUIN THAT GORGEOUS BEDSPREAD!
@@dannagordon9618 I've decided that I will keep it a bedspread. It's in such good condition. 😍
