Thrift With Me: Charlotte North Carolina!

[@danaleepipes8312]

The ReStores in Charlotte are great for furniture and housewares. If you like vintage you should take a trip to Asheville, several good places for vintage clothes.

[@TheRELMCo]

Thanks for the recommendations! I'll have to check out the ReStores. I do plan on taking a trip to Asheville sometime soon. I've heard good things about the area.

[@pimentocheesesandwich3065]

Welcome to Charlotte! Some other thrifting options include : Matthews Help Center, Value Village, The Assistance League, Zab's Place in Matthews, Community Thrift on Freedom Dr, and Servant's Heart in Mint Hill. Don't miss the Goodwill Boutique ( more upscale) on South Blvd and the Second Editions...also a Goodwill store with fancier clothing. Happy thrifting!

[@TheRELMCo]

Thank you! I'm excited to be here and explore the area. I love these recommendations! I'm going to make a list and check them all out.

[@laurathompson2705]

LOVE LOVE LOVE SEEING YOU! THANKS FOR SHARING IN YOUR JOURNEY! BIG HUG CUTIE!

[@TheRELMCo]

Aw, thank you! I appreciate all your support, it truly brings me joy.

[@breezyvibe]

The "old money" area of Charlotte is the Myers Park area . . any thrift stores in that area may have more vintage. Also . . East Boulevard . . South Boulevard . .

[@TheRELMCo]

Great pro tip! I have to search around those areas. Thank you!

[@monmur7952]

And Randolph / Providence areas, as well as Sharon Road/Southpark areas. The ReStore on Eastway is also large!

[@TheRELMCo]

@@monmur7952 Thank you! I love all of these recommendations. 🥰

[@gailwilliams5278]

You are style personified. Fresh, creative, fun. Looking forward to seeing more from NC.

[@TheRELMCo]

Aw, thank you for such an incredible compliment. I can't wait to share more from NC.

[@DMshell17]

I love your style. It is so unique but so well coordinated. You deserve more subscribers.

[@TheRELMCo]

Thank you! That's so sweet, I truly appreciate that.

[@eileenball39]

OOH! I would make that bedspread into a jacket! yes, welcome to Piedmont NC! Venture 25 miles north to Lake Norman for some good thrifting

[@TheRELMCo]

That would be lovely! And thank you, I'm so excited to be here. I haven't not explored up north yet, so I will definitely check it out.

[@SherryKendrick-p1q]

Welcome! The Goodwills in Ballantyne, Matthews and south Charlotte are great! Also the one in Indian Land. Great items and great prices

[@TheRELMCo]

Thank you for the welcome & the recommendations. I will add them to my list.

[@tinyblackbird]

The Sleepy Poet is an antique mall that has a large vintage section 😊 happy hunting!

[@TheRELMCo]

Oh love that recommendation. Adding it to my list. Thank you!

[@monmur7952]

Yes, I second the Sleepy Poet on South!

[@jeanniedanford]

Welcome to NC. I live about 1.5 hours west of Charlotte. I have had some really great luck thrifting in the small-town local charity shops and they have the best prices I have to say. And on the first of the month they have half and sometimes 75% off sales. So much fun :)

[@TheRELMCo]

Thank you! I'm excited to be here. I'll have to expand my scope to outside of the city. I appreciate the pro tip!

[@jeanniedanford]

@@TheRELMCo Meant to tell you, I love how you style everything!!!

[@TheRELMCo]

Aw, thank you! Such an incredible compliment.

[@TheRELMCo]

Thank you! I'm all about the head scarves these hot summer days.

Welcome to CLT ! I'm close to the NC|/SC border. Sweet Repeat Charitable Foundation in Lake Wylie, SC is nice. The Rat's Nest Vintage Store at 442 E 36th St., Charlotte, North Carolina 28205. Do you Sew??? If so, Upcycle Arts is fun to go to! 3046-A Eastway Dr, Charlotte, NC, United States, 28205. I love to sew! Have any more question please let me know!

[@TheRELMCo]

I love all of these recommendations, thank you so much. I'm going to check out all of these places. Yes, I also love sewing. What kinds of things do you sew?

[@DeeV2001]

I love to sew handbags to tote bags . I have made curtains to kitchen towels. Clothes for the family. But most of all clothes for myself 😊. Sewing is my happy 😃 ❤ I started in my 20’s . Took a break for another 20 plus years to raise my son. Now back at it for about the past 10 years.

[@christined2495]

Dianevaug9867 I live on border of NC/SC too

[@TheRELMCo]

@@DeeV2001 I love that! Sewing is so fulfilling. I started sewing as a teenager but have been on and off again. I'm finally getting back into it. 🥰

[@TheRELMCo]

I just thrifted the antique sofa and chair last Wednesday 😂

[@TheRELMCo]

LOVE THAT! Such a great find.

[@wendyduncan9084]

Welcome to the Carolinas! This August is being very kind with her weather. My favorite thrift shop is in Kershaw, SC. About an hour south of of Charlotte. It’s called the Exchange. I got a Lane full leather love seat for $12.50! Beautiful color too. They don’t put out any clothing that is stained or ripped. I’ve found great vintage pieces and wonderful men’s sweaters. Small town thrifting is definitely cheaper than downtown. Have you made anything with the gingham yet?

[@TheRELMCo]

Thank you! I'm loving it here. July was a bit too hot, but August is lovely so far. I will add the Exchange to my list of places to check out; it sounds like the pricing and quality are incredible. I LOVE small-town thrifting! You usually find the most unique pieces (which are my favorite). I've started a project with the purple Gingham but haven't completed it yet.

[@wendyduncan9084]

@@TheRELMCo July was indeed brutal. September, October, and November are usually bliss. I adore a good corn maze.

[@TheRELMCo]

@@wendyduncan9084 The fall season is my favorite, so I'm looking forward to it. It's already started to cool down, which has been quite lovely. 🥰

[@wendyduncan9084]

@@TheRELMCo That was just Mother Nature giving you a taste. Prepare for scorching heat again next week. I did thrift some wonderful fall things this week since the weather was so inspiring.

[@kblack8770]

Welcome to Charlotte (The Queen City). I just happened onto your channel and subscribed, after all you are a Sister Charlottean. There are Salvation Army and Goodwill Stores N,S,E,W of you and the small surrounding cities. I would say within 30 miles tops in either direction. When I drive to another city like Gastonia, I check to see what's in the area to make the most of my visit. Again...WELCOME.

[@TheRELMCo]

Thank you! I'm excited to be here, so far it's lovely. And I love and appreciate the pro tip! I'm looking forward to exploring Charlotte's thrift and vintage scene.

[@SuperMsPharmacy]

I can't leave a beautiful vintage coat behind. I can never stick to a season when shopping. When I find a beautiful piece, it has to come with me. This is also why I have to limit my trips to the thrift. I have run out of space, and I love it all. 😂

[@TheRELMCo]

I hear that! There are so many incredible pieces out there.

[@monmur7952]

If you haven't been to Clearing House on Central, it's a unique place for home stuff, prices go down every time it hits a date on the tag.

[@TheRELMCo]

Love that! Thank you so much for the recommendation!

[@AlexandraAedson]

Beautiful bedspread, as is, super price. And yes, how do you keep your headscarf from sliding? 😊

[@TheRELMCo]

It was a great find and in incredible condition. I have hair pins holding my scarf in place. I usually have a barrette or clip on each side holding it in place. It adds to the aesthetic.

[@dannagordon9618]

I COLLECT SILK SCARVES AND USUALLY TOO SMALL TO PUT ON MY HEAD SO I MATCH THEM TO MY OUTFIT, PURSE, AND TIE THEM ONTO PURSE WITH PRETTY KNOT. ONLY THING I CAN USE IT FOR! AND CAN ONLY WEAR THEM IN THE WINTER!!! BUT I ADORE SILK SCARVES!

[@TheRELMCo]

Welcome to nc. My husband was born and raised Charlotte. We're in salisbury now. His dad is actually from lynn, mass. There's a goodwill outlet i believe on Wilkinson. Its the bins so you pay by pound

[@TheRELMCo]

Thank you! I'm so excited to be here and to explore the city and state. Thank you for the recommendation. I will have to check that Goodwill out. I upcycle so pay by the pound is perfect.

[@deenamcdowell5603]

If you take a trip to the mountains, check out Hendersonville, lots of thrifting up there.

[@TheRELMCo]

Thank you! I've heard really good things about Hendersonville. I'm hoping to go there in October. I will have to check out the thrift shops up there.

[@PandoraSummer-d9v]

Love the gingham. Check out the (oversized) rickrack trend and design something with the gingham. I like the blanket as is. Love your head scarf style!

[@TheRELMCo]

Oh, thanks for the pro tip! I'll research the oversized rickrack trend, that sounds lovely. I'm leaning towards keeping the blanket as is too. I think if there was a stain or a tear I could justify cutting into it, but I think for now I will keep it.

[@patriciajackson1457]

Welcome to Charlotte! Salvation Army, in Kannapolis has half price clothing on Wednesdays. I find their furniture to be pricier than Goodwill. But, the Habitat for Humanity Restore is right up the street from there. Have fun thrifting! IMO keep the bedspread a bedspread.

[@TheRELMCo]

Thank you so much! I appreciate the recommendations. I love a good deal, so I'll check out that location on a Wednesday.

[@dannagordon9618]

I hope Charlotte works for you. I’m from Boston too I miss those thrift/vintage stores. Now in Phx love, love stores here. The scarves look fabulous on you especially the red one with red lip. Looking forward to the gingham looks. Hmm!!! the white bedding would be great on the bed… I’m just saying😊

[@TheRELMCo]

Thank you! It will be an adventure. How's the thrift/vintage in PHX? Yeah, I'm leaning towards keeping it a blanket..at least for now.

[@winterwrenn]

I second keeping the blanket as is, cuz it’s waaaaay too hot 10 months out of the year down here to wear any type of jacket. I’m also a transplant from up north and it’s been really sad not being able to wear my sweaters 😂

[@TheRELMCo]

@@winterwrenn Yeah, I think you're right, I will keep it a blanket. 😀 I haven't experienced the winter here, but it sounds like it's not too cold. I'm originally from Southern California. We didn't have cold winters there either.
