<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lucille.b, post: 5732620, member: 51&quot;]This is SOOO long ago, but for me what got my start was vintage clothing as well.&nbsp; In high school (early 1970s) my best friend and I started wearing 1940&#039;s clothing to be cool and different.&nbsp; 2 piece suits with fitted waists and padded shoulders, beaded sweaters, even 1940&#039;s dresses.&nbsp; Some of that clothing was so well made and stylish, it was crazy.&nbsp; And you could pick stuff up like that pretty often at garage sales, which always felt like winning the lottery.&nbsp; Voilà, a garage sale addict was born.</p><p><br /></p><p>At the time there were vintage clothing stores that really played up to the 1940s craze, and I remember once going to Chicago to a store my friend new about, and the gay owner served us champagne as we shopped-- we were only 15 so it just didn&#039;t get any better than that.</p><p><br /></p><p>From vintage clothing (still as a teen) I moved on to rhinestone jewelry, and antiques/vintage in general.&nbsp; Of course if I only knew THEN what I know TODAY... well, I&#039;d have a storage locker full of Schreiner Ruffle brooches for a start.</p><p><br /></p><p>My reselling started around 30 years ago.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
