Hi!  I'm a retired teacher and taught for over 25 years in NYC public schools.  Around the spring of 2021, I was standing on the corner a nearby street having cup of coffee (no indoor seating).  All of a sudden a core memory unlocked.  I remembered there was a thrift store just across the street.  My mom and I used to shop there all the time when I was a little girl.  And I remembered how much my mom loved it!  I remember the racks, the shelves, and the all-too-familiar scent of a thrift store.  Oh, how I missed those times with my mom so much.  I began looking up thrift stores to shop at here in NYC.  I also began watching thrifting videos and reconnecting with the now vintage things my mother loved.  One day, I said to myself:  "Elsie, you can do this.  You have a good eye and you can absolutely become a reseller."  So here I am, a former teacher, a thrifter and a reseller with an awesome retirement plan.  Much love!
