Vintage/Consignment Clothing Stores
Wanting to dig through some vintage/consignment stores...wondering if any of you have suggestions for stores to hit up besides Value Village?
For those who are looking as well, I've heard of a few such as Changes on West 10th, Mecca on the Drive, and Deluxe Junk Company in Gastown. I have yet to check them out, so if anybody wants to come with and check out a few others, let me know!

value vintage is officially CRAP. they over price things u can find at value village for a fraction of the cost. I REALLY like cherry bomb tho some of thier stuff is pricey but its worth it they have mint condition vintage clothing.

You are invited to participate in Swap-O-Rama-Rama as staff. Swap-O-Rama-Rama is a giant clothing swap and series of do-it-yourself workshops in which a community explores reuse and creativity through the recycling of used clothing. At Swap-O-Rama-Rama consumers are taught to be creators and this transformation takes place through the local talent in the community. Swap-O-Rama-Rama is seeking artists of all calibers, recyclers and creatives of all kinds for the following roles: artist taught DIY workshops, designer run sewing stations, silk screening, reuse designers for a recycled fashion show, sorters (get first dibs on clothes) and general help. DIY Workshops: If you have a unique skill that transforms would be trash into a wearable item (clothing/jewelry/handbag etc.) please consider bringing this to Swap-O-Rama-Rama in the form of a DIY workshop. Sewing Station/Fashion Show:If your a whiz behind a sewing machine and work with reuse, consider being a Swap-O-Rama-Rama designer helping people learn how to mod the used clothing they find at the swap.

AND, if your not sewing machine inclined then at least come and participate on the day. Don't forget September 28. Location is still to be determined. Any suggested venues? We did then event at the heritage hall (too prissy to work with), wise hall (too dark) and legion on commercial (stairs limit access to some).
