Dumping Grounds, Vol. V
leather jackets, coffee table books, and oyster plates
PSA, mark your cals: If you’re based in the NYC or Hudson Valley area, I’ll be at the Hastings Flea Market on Sunday, September 14 selling all of these fall jackets (and much more). 🧥🍁🚉
It’s been a minute since I’ve produced one of these but as of now they’re officially back! It goes without saying, but buying secondhand and vintage is always better IRL but I understand thrifting/antiquing/estate sale-ing can be time consuming and sometimes hit or miss. I recently went to Goodwill to find some tchotchkes for the new apartment and left empty-handed aside from a small lampshade that didn’t even end up fitting my naked little lamp. Sometimes it’s just worth spending a little bit more money online to guarantee a unique piece without much time and energy spent.
The fun part about curating this newsletter is that I usually go in blind, with no theme or particular pigeonhole in mind and just ride the wave. Let me know if you end up claiming anything—enjoy! ♥️
