I get hunches. My former Textiles professor Lisa would say my "antenna is up". I get brain messages and I have to act upon them. I trust these hunches- the brain messages tell me to go to thrift stores, sometimes along the way, sometimes completely out of my way, but I have to listen 'cause they're gooood. They're damn good.
I have a penchant for vintage, particularly vintage lingerie, and deadstock is even better. I found some treasures. some of them will be in my personal collection, and some of them will be on my Etsy soon. http://www.etsy.com/shop/retrorockit?ref=si_shop
I found girdles with garter tabs, sheer nylon with fringe, and slips made of "Taffreda" (yes, really- a nylon/poly blend).
This is what the thrill of the hunt is all about, awesome stuff that no one else has appreciated, candy colors. solid construction, interesting fabrics and trims..... vintagey goodness!
Hook me up with some of those gorgeous girdles!!!
