First of all, Diana and I have to hand out big, fat thank you‘s for all the tips and emails we received in response to this trip! We can’t believe what open arms and doors you guys have! We’ve been offered everything from an idyllic New York state hipster commune at the bottom of a waterfall to a lush townhouse all to ourselves to a little piece of heaven inhabited by a major historical vintage clothing collector in Vermont. Oh how we wish we could make it that far! Here is our still-in-the-planning-stage-and-possibly-completely-insane route (it equals around 80 hours of straight driving in only about 2.5 weeks!):

(Forgive the map, it keeps breaking on me. Apparently Google Maps can’t handle the PAIN)
Ok so here’s the bit about the contest.
We’re trying to hit the Fort Knox of Vintage. The Motherload of Thriftness.
Give us its address!
We’re thrifting us up some outfits for the photoshoot finale back on the west coast. If we get the best stuff for the best price from your recommended store, you’ll win a gift certificate to the
Painfully Hip Design Collective Etsy store and a personalized gift bag of souvenirs (a roadtrip in a package, as Diana described it).
So tantalize us with your tips!
-Comment the name of the store and the city its located in.
-The first person to comment their favorite Thrift Store’s address is the official entry for that store.
-Only one entry per store and 2 stores per person.
-You’re not allowed to be upset with us if we don’t make it to your store, believe us, it will hurt us more than it will hurt you.
Thanks so much for your phenomenal knowledge. We’re getting reeeeeally excited. Diana’s been practice-packing for weeks.
