bits and bobbins

hi all!

my little fam and i are moving from chicago to CT today!

i’m gonna take a little hiatus until things are a bit less crazy-town in my world…not sure how long.

could be a couple days, but could be a couple weeks. lots to unpack and sort. i haven’t seen my stuff in six months (it’s been in storage in NYC since last october)!

as a result, there will be no w_r’s of the week this week. apologies!

thanks for understanding!

okay, this is crazy old news, but…

about six gazillion years ago (ok, really, like three years ago, back in ‘07), when i was living out in san francisco, i did an interview for a documentary on thrift town, a bay-area thrift store chain.

anyway, i was waxing nostalgic about thrift town today with pete (oh how i miss that place!!! AHHHH!!!), and decided to google around to see if anything ever came of the doc. and voila! i turned up the documentary in toto, on the ever amazing youtube! yay! it’s embedded above.

the documentary is called thrift town: get used. it’s only about 10 minutes long (so, really, a short). i make a small appearance at the beginning of the film, and then at about 6:27 i get a longer bit…where they show me shopping around the store (checkin’ out the clothes, shoes, and patterns, haha!) and i get a few seconds of face time just after that where i dork out and say some nice stuff about thrift town and thrifting in general.

[btw: the acid wash jumper dress and pink earrings i'm wearing in the documentary are thrift town finds. you can get a better look at the acid wash jumper here if ye are so inclined...]

to all of you, you lovely amazing people:

THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for all the insights, advice, kind words, and most of all, constructive criticism about the wardrobe_remix(ers) o’ the week posts last week. it was a big help, and the comments you made and the discussion that ensued inspired me to keep going, and get creative with the posts over time.

on that note, once i get settled in my new home (i’m moving in less than a week!!!), and things settle down a bit for me and my family and i have more time, i plan to make some really cool changes to these posts and perhaps how i handle w_r as a whole in relation to my blog in general. there might be BIG changes… do stay tuned!

coming back to the here and now: this week i tried to pull out some folks i think i haven’t featured yet (apologies if i have!). if you have any suggestions for people you think should be featured/a particularly incredible pic you saw in the pool in the past week, do shoot me an email! perhaps i’ll add your suggestion in!

best,
your friend,
tricia
