Goodbye :'(

It’s already been about 3 months since I started this blog and I’m sorry to tell you that it’s coming to an end.

I had so many new and great experiences preparing and writing this blog

I originally didn’t have much interest in thrift shopping(oops :P), but once I started this blog, I started to love thrifting!

It was wonderful going out in San Luis Obispo looking for the thrift stores and interviewing the managers and employees.

Although it was a lot of time and hard work that I had to put in to make this blog a success, I feel that it was worth it

My shy personality made it hard interviewing, and I had so much technical difficulties with the computer, wordpress, Audacity(audio interview), and Premiere(video teaser and video).

IT WAS SO FRUSTRATING! But I made it 🙂

I had the most difficult time with Premiere, but filming and editing the video was a new experience and I really enjoyed it(not sure if I’ll do it again though…haha)

Up to this point, I had 764 views and 3 comments

Thank you to those who gave me comments, they really helped and I hope I was able to meet up to your expectations

Thank you to all of my readers who visited this blog and I hope you had a wonderful time like I did writing it

Keep on thrifting! 😉 ❤

 

Video

Here’s the video you’ve all been waiting for!

(watch the video with better quality by raising it up to 1080p)

I went to Curio and interviewed Donna Cody, owner of the store. (Sorry for the bad audio, I had some technical issues for her interview 😦 )

I also went to Mission Thrift, a thrift store that supports Old Mission School. I interviewed Susie Fitler, who has been working there for about 3 years.

Lastly, I had my roommate, Kelsey Laroa(who I interviewed for my past post, Thrift Thrive), make an outfit from her own closet with just thrift store finds.

Thank you to all who made this video a success!

Hope you enjoyed the video 😀

Teaser

This is a teaser for the upcoming video!

This teaser only shows Curio but the upcoming video will also be featuring Mission Thrift, and some interviews with Curio’s manager and an employee from Mission Thrift.

There will also be a special interview with my roommate, Kelsey Laroa, who I interviewed in my earlier posts.

Stay tuned! 🙂

Map!

I made a map on Google Maps of the thrift stores I have been to so far and the other stores in SLO that I have yet to go check out!

The blue checkpoints are the thrift stores.

It’s amazing to see how much thrift stores there are in SLO!

Hope this treasure map will help your treasure hunting 😉 ❤

Enjoy thrifting!

Thrift Thrive

The thrift store industry has been thriving these past few years.

I went to Wilshire Hospice Hope Chest and Fred & Betty’s thrift stores and interviewed their store manager to see if this was true for their stores.

I also interviewed pro-thrifter Kelsey Laroa, a student from Cal Poly 😉
