“Find out where other people are shopping.”
Andrea admits that she relies heavily on word of mouth to find the best sources—but those words aren't limited to private conversations: Write it down when you see a flea or thrift store that intrigues you on Instagram or Pinterest, and always ask for recommendations before traveling.
Before we hung up the phone, Andrea and I swapped ideas for East and West Coast favorites at her urging: I told her to go to Scott's, a big flea in Atlanta, if she found herself down south, and she encouraged me to hit up Lost Art Salon, a tiny art store in San Francisco (I'd asked about finding original, less expensive art—and this shop is a treasure trove).
