thrift curation and treats from ohio.

these little miss septembers (caught in situ today at a columbus thrift shop) remind me of a current focus i feel myself developing - an eye for thrift curation. throughout this trip, i keep being struck by some very interesting choices in shelving thrift goods - colour matched displays of sundries, too many bunnies, and other decisions of likeness. here is another arrangement jaime pulled together at the crazy huge junk shop in indianapolis:

i feel that this particular new interest will persist throughout this trip if not beyond.

other than getting distracted by the beauty of thrift stores (yeah, i am sad that the septembers did not come into the station wagon with us, but i had to be strong), we went in to wholly craft to stock olivera up on wares for the cool people of ohio and pick up a couple of special goodies for our own cool selves.

i got this letterpress print and a small collection of vintage craft books.

olivera is very good at sourcing our vintage books, fabrics and supplies for the shop. her stock of old rarities is a unique feature of the shop and makes for very special bundles for shoppers to take home. and what deals!
