Where to shop In Avondale Arizona for Vintage clothing and accessories



     


Yesterday, I had so much fun looking for some vintage items, I just wanted people to know where you can find these. I was just going to the places I always go in Avondale Arizona. My first stop was at a place called Hopes Closet. Hopes closet is run my new life centers, A domestic violence refuge for women, men and children suffering from abuse  If anyone is in danger they can go to this web address http://www.newlifectr.org  they also provide items of necessity for families.


Provides curbside pick-up for donations.

  Operates the "Dress for Success " program providing work-appropriate clothing for women participating in the Center’s Jobs Program.

All proceeds from the sale are used to support the Center. Please know that every donation—whether used at the Center or sold to benefit our programs—is used for the direct benefit of families at New Life!    I  am a frequent shopper and love the staff. They are very helpful. I love the boutique you can find so many good bargains. If you like to go to yard sales, estates sales you will  love thrift stores.
                                                                                     
The Boutique has gowns, coats, vintage hats and purses
and of course newer clothing items as well I shop vintage
so this is what I am looking for. There is a little bit of everything
so check it out!
                                                                                        




     


     









     




    Well, it was a good day here I found a vintage alligator leather  purse for $9.99 and guess what it was half off day so the alligator purse cost me $5.00! What a steal considering I will sell this to another vintage collector for  way more than $5.00!


    My next Place I go to a lot is Goodwill and  it is right down the street from Hopes Closet! Here is an awesome staff  staff that is always smiling and ready to help you find what you are looking for! I love it here I find may vintage items and I never leave empty handed.
    The vintage item I found here today were just as good! Meet the staff at goodwill in Avondale Arizona I believe you won't be disappointed!
     



     
    It is not just the staff that brings me back here it is the sales daily that they have. I find all kinds of thing I need
     and don't need as well ,but I can't pass up a smoking deal when I see one.  Sometimes if you don't buy it when you see it someone else gets it. Today I was smiling because I found some really great items to place on my online store, so here is what i found today at Goodwill!


    This is a vintage 1970's dress by Guy D for Leo Narducci dress.  Retro, boho, hippie dress gotta love the era. I remember the Hedi dress I bought at a store in my hometown called the Calico Cat and this place was the cool place to go when I was a kid!  It is still in Galesburg, Illinois  on Seminary Street. It still has some awesome unique item for sale the link is www.seminarystreet.com/calicocat/index.htm . Just email them and they can find you some great gifts. Getting back to the vintage, I have a habit of getting off track sometimes but it is for all to benefit! This dress is in perfect condition! I also found in the men's  department some alligator shoes that were half off , a vintage fishing lure case and yes  I collect lures too! I also found a large  Ralph Lauren snakeskin leather  makeup bag! My total bill with sale was  32.00! So before one states I would never wear someones else s clothing and shoes, I think about it as it is vintage  and it has a history!  More vintage pieces are better made than the clothing of today and a lot if it is handmade by the designer's staff, so until you wear a vintage piece..........


     
    I need to mention to that you can find everything you need for your house,college dorm apartments, if you have a cabin or a condo somewhere don't buy new buy used. Not only is it recycling you are saving the planet one way or another. Here are all the other departments I went to just because you never know what you will find!


     

    I just want to say one more thing about Goodwill  Industries most all  stores have a job center within the store. If you are unemployed Goodwill is worth a try to hunt for jobs as well! Well hope this helps! By the way the parking lot here is always full and there is a lot of good things to find! happy vintage shopping!
