Larissa and I have which is why we decided to open up a shop filled with many of the clothes, shoes, games, toys, and housewares that we grew up with.
Vintage items are not only fun and unique but reusing them helps to free up space in landfills so it’s also good for the planet.
Thanks for listening!
Peace and Veggies,
Vickie and Larissa
