Also, Poor Little Rich Girl and the Goodwill both in Davis Square in Somerville are great, hop on the train to get there. And the holy grail: Todd Farm Flea Market in Hamilton (about a 20 min drive) every sunday through october- get there EARLY, you won't be disappointed. if you go at the right time, you'll find some amazing things. <br /><br />if you focus on getting out and exploring your new city, you wont smother your roommate.Orchid Greyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14547415631237933862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3578273482883279188.post-17994526150667367182010-07-07T12:57:31.097-04:002010-07-07T12:57:31.097-04:00I won't deny that there is come hipster in me ...I won't deny that there is come hipster in me but Im not like the full fledged ones running around only wearing clothing that can be found ironic and drinking PBR(the official drink of hipsters)<br /><br />Ill just blame my generation. ;]Shane Tenczarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01423118043222766293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3578273482883279188.post-7853049361938115342010-07-07T11:44:35.272-04:002010-07-07T11:44:35.272-04:00I had a comforting comment from a shop owner once ...I had a comforting comment from a shop owner once when we were talking about glass composition from the 50s versus now. I can't remember the details, but the metal content in the glassware from the 50s and earlier is different and makes them more resilient to breakage during moving and everyday life. Glasses are made cheaply now (shocking!) in other words. <br />Just make sure everything is wrapped individually and utilize towels, especially for ceramics as I find they break far more easily than glassware.Ceehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16516722290571447273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3578273482883279188.post-57970145742544028202010-07-07T09:55:27.822-04:002010-07-07T09:55:27.822-04:00Pack everything really well and don't drive li...Pack everything really well and don't drive like a demon child and you should be good! hehe<br /><br />As far as hippsters go...I feel your pain. I'm 38 and have been collecting since your age. In the last 10 years or so "vintage" has been seen as cool! Gets harder to find and everyone wants it so prices go up. In a way, you're like a little hippster to me! :) But that's okay, I like you! :)<br /><br />~MaryDeluxeWelcome to DeluxeVillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11886490746108869132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3578273482883279188.post-64545893466823609072010-07-07T02:05:33.895-04:002010-07-07T02:05:33.895-04:00good luck with your move,hope nothing gets broken!...good luck with your move,hope nothing gets broken!art deco damehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08918869259278566485noreply@blogger.com
