#SecondHandSeptember Charity Shop of the Week
I'm returning to Providence again this week (it's a town where I allow myself to shop), to feature Foreign Affair Warehouse.
Yelp says "CLOSED". Google says "Thayer Street". Must investigate further.
Very much closed. Sigh.
In April 2014, I was lured by the orange and purple stripes on the outside sale rack:
The stripe dress was too small, but I found some other treasures.
This corduroy jacket, lined with quilted nylon, quickly became an indispensable part of my outerwear:
It's the perfect weight for what passes for winter in SoCal.

#SecondHandSeptember Charity Shop of the Week
The Thrifty Goose in Providence RI is a good place for a treasure hunt. You'll find it in the basement of St. Martin's Church on the east side of town.
They have "special deal" days, with a color coded tag system which amplify one's savings.
On my last visit in June, I snagged a few men's shirts, a sari that I'm slowly transforming into a tunic, and six balls of chenille for a future weaving project.
