Can You Thrift Vintage Bargains in an Antique Town Goodwill?

An 1890s railroad town in the middle of a savannah is the perfect setting for both antiquing and thrift store fun! Arcadia, Florida is my stopping point when I travel to and from the West Palm Beach antique show, a long bypassed and forgotten town now finding new life thanks to a bevy of antique and thrift shops that have sprung up here.

My m.o. is to hit a few antique stores for nice pieces to take to the show, then hit a thrift store on the way back when the van is emptier to restock with bargains. We do both in this episode, discovering whether you can find vintage deals in thrift stores when the antique dealers are just down the block...and whether those same dealers might offer us a few bargains on their finds.

The answer in this case is happily, yes to both! Though Hurricane Ian blew through just months ago, many of the antique shops are back in full force, and the town's variety of Victorian to 1920s houses are starting to renovate as well. Meanwhile, the Goodwill store is teeming with fresh stock, and this one has enough local interest from vintage hunters that they haven't sent all the good stuff away!

We get a nice taste of a few shops, meet a really fun shop owner with a taste for MCM glass, and mark our calendars to come back for one of Arcadia's monthly antique shows in the future.
