The Thrifting Teacher (Elsie)
@thethriftingteacher
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!
