Trashé for Moi, please.

Palm Beach County’s thrift community is made up of the best, most generous and creative people.

As an avid thrift shopper, I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know several local shop owners, and I’ve come to discover that folks who curate and collect have the warmest hearts. It’s just a tried and true combo.

I’ve known the owner of Trashé Vintage, Heidi, for many years. Our sons were elementary school friends, and when Heidi and I first met, her store was called Stitches and Rust.

Her eye for curation is impeccable, and her prices have always been within reach for the average shopper. The style of her shop has evolved over the years, which I think is a reflection of her own evolution as a person — a very cool thing.

Heidi hosted a community-wide rummage sale in the parking lot of her shop over the weekend and it was fun to see that, much like her artfully collected shop, she’s curated a community of people who love shopping secondhand, eating tacos, and singing karaoke in the middle of the day.

The Cozy Cottage table had items exclusively $5 and under

Mom snagged a free pair of sandals from the clothing swap section.

Baby chose her own outfit for the outing — head to toe black was an aggressive but respectable choice.

The rummage sale prices were insanely good. I spent $15 and came away with an awesome haul.

I also got to catch up with Denise, owner of The Cozy Cottage in Lake Worth Beach, who gave me a bag of clothes she’d collected that reminded her of me.

See what I mean about this awesome thrift community?!
