I stumbled upon an estate sale last week and it’s turned my world upside down. A place with few vintage resellers (thank god), lots low prices and cool things. I found this mirror and I soon be hanging it up. **if you are a vintage reseller- you did not see this post & you will not ruin the one sacred, affordable shopping experience left pls and thank you **

Saw someone post about estate sales and this website will direct you to any estate sales happening locally. My boyfriend and I have found such good kitchen stuff, vinyls, jackets, cassettes, ugh they truly do not make things to last like they once did. If I find who originally posted, I also share the sentiment of all these things once belonging to someone, I already feel that way about thrifting, left alone stepping into their home to buy up their stuff. It can be quite emotional, like when you happen upon a box of thousands of kodachrome slides and it really hits you that despite capturing moments of your life that are either worthwhile or mundane someone else has to step in the carry those memories too, in order for them to continue existing.

It’s genuinely so fun to rummage through someone’s entire house, everything must go! Do your research, map out your day, and hit as many as you can. Get there early before the good stuff is gone, and be prepared to battle the resellers!

One thing I LOATHE is vintage furniture resellers that aggressively price gouge on what is supposed to be an affordable way for normal people to furnish a home. I am now engaged in a deep level of imagined trade warfare with some of the major vintage resellers in the NY area across various online auction sites like the one linked below. I know this because I have lost bids on $20 chairs that I later see in these stores for 10x the cost.
Mostly out of spite, I want to recommend online estate sales - not everything closes for cheap but it is by far less expensive than a good chunk of resellers. It’s like FB Marketplace but with a PvP mode.

It is my belief that so many people would be less lonely if they invited their friends to do their mundane errands and chores together. Dont have time to see your friends, cant afford to go out to socialize? Invite your friends to things you already will be doing and it ease some of the pain of the responsibilities. Or call someone to come over if you made a little too much for dinner. here is what I shared tonight: chicken thighs, fairy tale eggplant, fennel salad, and a nice groleau red wine
