After my previous flash sale, I received several messages from hopeful buyers who didn't catch the sale until it had ended. So, I'm launching this sale again with a wider time frame to give everyone the opportunity to shop my fall collection one more time. This is the perfect chance to stock up on plentiful plaids and terrific tweeds before spring arrives.

Two days ago I wrote on 2013 resolutions. I forgot to mention my primary goal regarding this blog, to discuss all that I bring in from thrift shops. The vast majority of things I buy are for the CKC Shoppe, and previously I've tended not to post photos of that merchandise until it appears in the shoppe. From now on, I'll put up whatever comes my way, so I may share my finds and give you a chance to inquire about new products before they're displayed.

CKC Shoppe Grand Reopening

After much procrastination, I've finally put together an offering of sport coats in the CKC Shoppe. 

In addition, I've added two cardigans and two ties to go along with the 19 other ties still available.  These really are some excellent jackets, and I want them to go to readers who, I know, will wear them well.

CKC Pop-Up Shoppe

I'm quite proud and pleased to say that the CKC Pop-Up Shoppe made its debut yesterday. My cousin held a grand opening for his pharmacy, and he granted me the opportunity to feature the CKC Shoppe alongside the booths of several local businesses. In preparation of autumn, I offered a selection of tweed, corduroy and Shetland wool sport coats, as well as a vintage cowichan Abercrombie sweater-coat. Wool and heavyweight cotton sweaters were coordinated with a variety of flannel and twill sport shirts. A collection of silk and wool foulard were interspersed with cotton flannels and wool knit ties. Small sets of lambswool scarves and tweed hats were also available. Unlike Giuseppe of AAF, my city doesn't offer quite the same options to hold a pop-up flea, so I've long anticipated the fruition of a real CKC Shoppe. I'm very happy with how things turned out, and I'm so grateful for those that have supported me both online and in person.

Plenty is left over, so expect to see some of these items online pretty soon.
