My best luck tends to be at the Rose Bowl flea market- there is a seller there that has items for $5, $10, & $15, and I have found many many lovely items there. There are a few other vintage and thrift sellers there that have some great deals and others that tend to be spendy. But most dealers will negotiate! I recommend taking the trek to pasadena if you're not already versed in the vintage shopping there. :)Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03954735015425590110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-959092383542566379.post-28670727739062408442011-01-18T16:24:52.178-08:002011-01-18T16:24:52.178-08:00I wish I could find more cute little boy vintage. ...I wish I could find more cute little boy vintage.

Vintage provides so many options and if you find the right shop, the tailoring and details of vintage pieces are AMAZING!<br /><br />Key to sizing= Measure yourself. Don't buy anything online if they don't provide the measurements. don't even rely on the sizes provided because size standards change each decade with fit and trends in mind. <br /><br />check out Avid Accents on etsy :-)~L~https://www.blogger.com/profile/09691784770552159844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-959092383542566379.post-70571149535449053222011-01-18T04:43:27.825-08:002011-01-18T04:43:27.825-08:00Ohhh I love the cream lace dress!

You really do have some nice stuff. <br /><br />I agree with Eleni, ebay is also great for vintage, sometimes the prices are better than etsy too, but the people on etsy are so lovely that it always makes me want to buy from there.<br /><br />I also hate it when thrift stores realise they have stuff that people are looking for so they raise the price. Over here in Australia I've seen thrift store charge more than the original price because they know that it's something that is "in" at the moment and I think it's kind of dishonest. They do it with new clothes that are still in retail stores too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-959092383542566379.post-35175419998452571072011-01-18T02:38:00.602-08:002011-01-18T02:38:00.602-08:00What, no Ebay?

I actually prefer it to Etsy because there are more search parameters, so if I have something fairly specific in mind (like a pink cord pinafore dress in my size) it's ace. I also have a lack of cheap shops in my area, but plenty of over-priced boutiques (grrrr!).
