Over the weekend, I stopped by Portland’s newest hot spot - Portland Flea-for-All - to catch up with owners Erin & Nathaniel. They let me inside a week before all the magic happens (opening day is April 14th) for a very special shop talk. Check back tomorrow for an exclusive Q&A including their expert tips for how to shop the flea, the vendors they’re excited about and why running a flea market could make them bankrupt (in a good way).

I think I’ve been to 10+ yard sales over the past couple of weekends. I loved the collection at Rise’s yard sale. From vintage earrings and aprons (spotted Julia snatching some of those) to fixer upper mopeds and leather jackets I should have bought, it was a huge success yet again.

Did you find anything good?

Just a few behind the scenes shots of Laura and I organizing piles and piles and piles of clothing donations. One of my favorite finds was this hand-knit vest that matches our swap logo perfectly. 

Tonight is the last night you can drop off clothes to get free admission to the swap. Come to Head Games from 4 to 7 to drop off your goods. And please remember - we do not accept underwear.  Can’t wait to see you all on Saturday!
