Thrift-ola Yard Sale: Day One
Posted on: December 21, 2012Yesterday I flung open the doors to Thrift-ola Towers and invited one and all to come and rummage in my vintage yard sale! Continue reading »
Thrift-ola yard sale sound tracked by the Phil Spector Christmas album. So festive!
I had such a fun day yesterday! I love selling online and the freedom that brings but I do miss my bricks and mortar shop sometimes and the happy smiling faces of gals ‘n guys when they spot something they love. So I decided to open up my studio yesterday and sell off all remaining website stock and lots of other bits and pieces at very pleasing prices. It was lovely to see so many familiar faces and also meet new folk. If you missed it, fear not! I am opening up again for one last day and that’s tomorrow; Saturday 22nd December from 10am to 6pm. There’s lots of ace stuff still to be claimed and I’m going to dig out a few more pieces. My address is Vittoria Wharf, 10 Stour Road, London E3 2NT. The nearest station is Hackney Wick Overground. My building is behind the green gates with a yellow toadstool on the roof!

Thrift-ola Yard Sale – This Saturday! Vittoria Wharf, 10 Stour Road, London E3 2NT
I run Thrift-ola from a small warehouse unit in Hackney Wick and have been thrifting a-go-go for the past few months to fill my online shoppe with all kinds of super fun second hand finds ready for Christmas! Not everything makes it onto the website though, reasons for this include items that don’t photograph very well, maybe they’re too large/heavy/awkward to post or I feel someone should really see it in person before buying. I’m also generally behind with uploading stock as I have just started freelancing for Vintage again and am co-ordinating & curating some really exciting events for 2012. Continue reading »
Belfast Road Street Sale & Party
Posted on: October 20, 2011We joined the residents of Belfast Road in Stoke Newington for their annual street sale and party last Sunday. It was a rummagers delight fueled by home baked bread and a free potato. Continue reading »
Belfast road and it’s residents enjoying their annual flea market.
My friend recently moved to the cute cobbled streets of Belfast Road and I was more than happy to visit him on the day it was celebrating it’s annual street sale. With a 5am car boot sale already under my belt that morning, I popped along with some spare change, an empty laundry bag and the will to stay awake. Continue reading »
Living Room Sales
Posted on: October 12, 2011Just like yard sales and garage sales in the US but indoors because we're in good ol' blighty. Why lug your swag to shift at a boot sale when you can pop-up in your own front room? Continue reading »
A kidney shaped coffee table filled with fun junk jewellery.
Whilst I absolutely love buying someone else’s cast offs at a car boot sale I know it’s no fun at all to sell at a boot fair. Kilburn Car boot, 1999 – never again. So how very civilised to set up shop in your own front room and promote online. I’ve been invited to quite a few recently and was most miffed to miss out on the sale held by the visual merchandise girl from Beyond Retro a few weeks ago. Bah! Continue reading »
