Boomerang!

ok yes, I'm lame and I'll admit it. But yea, I was shocked to see that Craftzine had blogged about a vintage store I'd recently visited last month in Vermont called Boomerang and the guy who owns it (Matt Maranian). I was so giddy I just had to share it with someone. If that isn’t the sign of a geek, I don’t know what is.

So I visited this store and it was awesome. I wish I lived in Vermont, specifically for the store, no joke. okay I'm joking a little :P

However, I am determined to shop here every time we make a trip to Vermont. As a matter of fact the trip will revolve around a visit to Boomerang. HA! juuusttt kiddingggg! not.

Here's the vintage dress (& sunglasses for 5 BUCKS!) I stumbled upon and luckily purchased while I was there. oh yea, and my husband being a goof. but a cute goof at that.

YES. that shirt on the right is lined in wool and Jake would have bought it, if I hadn’t beaten the voice of reason into him. he’s so lucky to have me, eh? (just kidding, it wasn’t THAT bad. just completely unreasonable seeing as how we live in the sunshine state. ha)

they had new and used clothing, t-shirts, vintage goods, awesome locally made jewelry and more. much MUCH more.

Moral of the story? if anyone ever goes to Brattleboro, Vermont, visit this store. AND the one a few stores down called Altiplano. It’s got awesome stuff too. :). It won’t disappoint.

That store sounds amazing! I wish I lived near Vermont! (But I guess I live closer than you do ;P) The yellow dress looks gorgeous on you!
