I think Scorsese says that the character is the costume, and Alison can really roll with the punches and make something out of nothing very quickly.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Improvisation and ingenuity rule the day in Freer’s world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s very much like the A-Team,” she explains. “What do we have? We have a coat hanger and some gum and this weird piece of wood. What can we make out of it? To this day, it’s still the same. Every job.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Costume design is in her blood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My great-great-grandmother was a seamstress for the Ringling Bros. circus in Sarasota, Florida,” says Freer, “and my great-grandmother, a child at the time, worked in complete violation of child labor laws making bridles for show ponies and clown costumes. So they taught me certain heritage skills that I feel like have fallen by the wayside a little bit -- skills that helped me as a costumer and now are really the backbone of this book.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With sections like “Ironing Is for Suckers,” “How to Frankenstein a Bra that Works for You,” and “Spit Removes Blood Like, Whoa,” Freer’s \"How to Get Dressed\" updates that heritage. And, after reading some 60 previous books on the self-help fashion shelf, she came to a realization:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They were not practical for the everyday girl. They talked about buying investment pieces, which, if you can afford it, is a great thing to do. But if you’re a 19-year-old girl entering the workforce, what you want to hear is how to have the sleeves taken up on a blazer from Forever 21 so you don’t look like you’re wearing your mom’s clothing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What’s happening at Chanel and Givenchy and all these places doesn’t apply to you. I realized there wasn’t anything intensely practical, and in my day job I traffic in the practical only. It’s results oriented or it goes out the door.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In her 1918 Craftsman house near downtown Los Angeles, Freer has a bedroom-turned-wardrobe vault devoted to her obsessive lust for fashion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is my horrifying closet,” she says, chuckling. “This is my life’s work, this is my greatest accomplishment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s wall-to-wall clothing. All manner of stuff. Dresses, hats, kimonos, a pickle costume. And boxes of shoes. Lots of boxes of shoes. Freer has them stacked and labeled meticulously. She hunkers down to examine one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What do we have right here? Grey Doc Martens, floral. Blue Doc Martens, floral. Black and gold lace-up heels. I like this: silver glitter boots times two. That tells me I have a double of those. I liked those so much I bought them twice.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was this closet that launched her career. A friend of a friend was a commercial director. He dropped by one day, “And he said, ‘Wow, look at all these clothes. Are you a costume designer?' And I had no idea what that meant, but it sounded very glamorous and I said yes, yes I am. I lied, basically.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The truth is, Freer’s previous career taught her invaluable skills for the jump to laboring in Tinseltown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I worked retail for 15 years of my life. Anybody who walked into the door of any store that I worked at, I could tell immediately, should I be nice to them? Should I be a little bit mean? Should I be coquettish? What personality should I take on to sell them on my ideas? Because that’s really all it is. Psychology and salesmanship really are the two skills I use daily.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Freer works constantly and her book has climbed quickly up the Amazon rankings, although she says she’s happy working behind the scenes, far from the red carpet. But think of her the next time you’re watching TV -- and you see a man dressed as a taco.\u003c/p>\n\n",

But if you’re a 19-year-old girl entering the workforce, what you want to hear is how to have the sleeves taken up on a blazer from Forever 21 so you don’t look like you’re wearing your mom’s clothing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What’s happening at Chanel and Givenchy and all these places doesn’t apply to you. I realized there wasn’t anything intensely practical, and in my day job I traffic in the practical only. It’s results oriented or it goes out the door.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In her 1918 Craftsman house near downtown Los Angeles, Freer has a bedroom-turned-wardrobe vault devoted to her obsessive lust for fashion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is my horrifying closet,” she says, chuckling. “This is my life’s work, this is my greatest accomplishment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s wall-to-wall clothing. All manner of stuff. Dresses, hats, kimonos, a pickle costume. And boxes of shoes. Lots of boxes of shoes. Freer has them stacked and labeled meticulously. She hunkers down to examine one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What do we have right here? Grey Doc Martens, floral. Blue Doc Martens, floral. Black and gold lace-up heels. I like this: silver glitter boots times two. That tells me I have a double of those. I liked those so much I bought them twice.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was this closet that launched her career. A friend of a friend was a commercial director. He dropped by one day, “And he said, ‘Wow, look at all these clothes. Are you a costume designer?' And I had no idea what that meant, but it sounded very glamorous and I said yes, yes I am. I lied, basically.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The truth is, Freer’s previous career taught her invaluable skills for the jump to laboring in Tinseltown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I worked retail for 15 years of my life. Anybody who walked into the door of any store that I worked at, I could tell immediately, should I be nice to them? Should I be a little bit mean? Should I be coquettish? What personality should I take on to sell them on my ideas? Because that’s really all it is. Psychology and salesmanship really are the two skills I use daily.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Freer works constantly and her book has climbed quickly up the Amazon rankings, although she says she’s happy working behind the scenes, far from the red carpet. But think of her the next time you’re watching TV -- and you see a man dressed as a taco.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Naturally I chose the rainiest days of the year — so far — to drive over 150 miles and still just barely scratch the surface of what’s available in the quote East Bay unquote. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For one, how much of the East Bay, which people rightfully point out is “Beast” in pig Latin, was I prepared to bite off? It’s a vast geographic region, which is one of the salient characteristics of what I found once I began to rummage. In striking contrast to San Francisco, the rummage/vintage/thrift stores I visited in the East Bay were characterized first by their large spaces, which led naturally to an ability to show and sell a much more diverse — and less highly curated — range of goods. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The other element that pops up in the East Bay is the necessity of actually rummaging. More space equals more stuff equals more digging, which also means more effort on the shopper’s part can translate into more surprising discoveries at lower prices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The East Bay has some pretty colossal spaces to start out in.

Carl has a background as a picker and buyer mostly in Manhattan. The two started small, renting space in another antique store and then slowly expanded into the 6,000 square foot building they inhabit today. Kathy is attracted to Bakelite from the 1930s, which shows up in the store as radios, handles on antique furniture and in a wide selection of jewelry. Carl’s business in slot machines inhabits a sizable space in the store’s ground floor, and, true to current trends in the roaring return of analog media, the Himmelmans are opening a listening room, where customers can try out vintage console record players and listen to vinyl the way it was meant to be heard. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The thing that Kathy enjoys most about spending her retirement in an antique store is the history lessons she witnesses daily.

Weber’s tastes are eclectic, but he is hoping to provide good value to the folks in the neighborhood, while also creating a space for community activity. Found features new art shows each month and has a stage where local musicians play during openings, which align with the \u003ca href=\"http://www.piedmontavestroll.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Piedmont Avenue Stroll\u003c/a> the third Thursday of each month. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/12/piedmont.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/12/piedmont.jpg\" alt=\"piedmont\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-10208609\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Next door, Marty Martinez’s shop is a place built for serious rummaging. The store is piled high and requires some real effort — the exact opposite of Found’s clean curation. Martinez, who celebrated his 86th birthday last week, is a painter who graduated from CCAC — California College of Art and Craft — in 1951 (back before the school shed that final C). He raised 5 boys in the Piedmont neighborhood where his store has been located for 45 years. His interest in painting has led to a large (and somewhat unruly) collection of frames and canvases piled dozens deep. Martinez says that if you know what you’re looking at, there is treasure to be found within.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv class=\"callout noborder\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/12/katz2.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/12/katz2.jpg\" alt=\"katz2\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-10208627\">\u003c/a>\n\u003ch3>Katz Modern\u003c/h3>\n\u003ch5>1605 Ashby Ave., Berkeley, CA\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"http://www.katzmodern.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Information\u003c/a>\u003c/h5>\n\u003cp>I’ve never been inside Katz Modern, but I can say that, hands down, the place is full of the coolest items I saw in my adventures around the bay.

He says that he started collecting weird antiques about 25-30 years ago, when he was a self-described “dope fiend” with a shopping cart on the lookout for items he could trade or sell.

He makes most of his sales online and at indoor modern furniture shows; most of his stuff ends up in L.A. and Manhattan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Katz opens on Saturdays to “give the public a chance to maybe buy something.” But he warns that he doesn’t sell things for cheap. “You have to know what you’re looking at in my store.” And be willing to pay a fair price.

Katz has come through his journey with a great eye and a strong focus. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Saturdays he shares the store with his buddy, Rockabilly musician Chris Ford’s Hercules Records, which sells vinyl and runs a country radio station out of the place. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Katz says, “I don’t know anything about having a perfect business.

He’s interested in Victorian science and natural history, which shows up in the shop as paper prints, anatomical charts and old medical books. Mixed Pickles specializes in unusual home décor, but there was also some trench art (art objects made out of old ammunition), costume jewelry and vintage clothing on display. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Overall, the space is really playful.

Pimpan spends most of her time doing estate sales for others and has figured out a way to make her expertise contribute something back to the community while she’s at it. She introduced the concept of estate sales to the Alameda County Public Guardian’s Office and the Sheriff’s Department as a way for elderly people who can no longer take care of themselves to come up with the funds needed for their own health care and nursing home expenses. Pimpan’s a Virgo; I understand they are service oriented. “It really makes a difference knowing that you are helping, whether the people being helped know it or not,” she says. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pimpan also believes in karma, and applies this belief to her business, paying fair prices for the things she picks up for her store, which she describes as having a “hippie bohemian” vibe to it. When I asked her what she was attracted to most, or what she featured in her store, she first answered that the store didn’t necessarily reflect her interests. Then she looked around and described what was there: Danish modern, teak and rosewood furniture; estate jewelry; 20th century abstract art; vintage clothing. “Hmm.

He has lived in Alameda for 16 years and when he decided to open a shop, he knew it should be in town. Ferguson found the perfect location, a U-shaped complex that houses an eclectic mix of furnishing, books, etc. The original section of the building was a lumberyard that dates to the late 1800s, according to Ferguson. The building later became a manufacturing complex for vinyl siding and roofing. Now it houses at least five rooms full of furniture and other items for the home. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When I asked him what kinds of objects attracted him, Ferguson said the first thing that had to go out the window when he started the business was his own personal taste. (He didn’t specify, but apparently whatever he liked most wasn’t what folks were buying.) Urban Island calls itself the “East Bay’s largest consignment furniture store,” which is infinitely believable given the size of the structure. They like to “stay on trend” at the store, but given the diverse architecture found throughout the East Bay, Urban Island finds success with a large variety of styles. \u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\n",

Naturally I chose the rainiest days of the year — so far — to drive over 150 miles and still just barely scratch the surface of what’s available in the quote East Bay unquote. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For one, how much of the East Bay, which people rightfully point out is “Beast” in pig Latin, was I prepared to bite off? It’s a vast geographic region, which is one of the salient characteristics of what I found once I began to rummage. In striking contrast to San Francisco, the rummage/vintage/thrift stores I visited in the East Bay were characterized first by their large spaces, which led naturally to an ability to show and sell a much more diverse — and less highly curated — range of goods. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The other element that pops up in the East Bay is the necessity of actually rummaging. More space equals more stuff equals more digging, which also means more effort on the shopper’s part can translate into more surprising discoveries at lower prices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The East Bay has some pretty colossal spaces to start out in. First is the big \u003ca href=\"http://www.westwinddi.com/westwind/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">daily flea market\u003c/a> near the Oakland Coliseum, but you have to calculate exactly how much effort you want to put in — and how much imported junk you are willing to dig through. More akin to San Francisco’s Alemany Flea, are the \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/pages/Laney-Flea-Market/103678716359011\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Laney Flea Market\u003c/a>, held every Sunday in the Laney College parking lot, and the \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyfleamarket.com/home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Berkeley Flea Market\u003c/a>, which runs every weekend outside the Ashby BART station. But once again, treasures can be found if one is willing to root about to find them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The grandaddy of fleas, and the most fun with the most interesting stuff, is the high-falutin’-sounding \u003ca href=\"http://www.alamedapointantiquesfaire.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Alameda Point Antiques Faire\u003c/a>, which happens the first Sunday of each month. With over 800 dealers and a rule that items sold there need to be at least 20 years old, this is the place where you are most likely to encounter the vintage find you’ve been hankering after. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Carl has a background as a picker and buyer mostly in Manhattan. The two started small, renting space in another antique store and then slowly expanded into the 6,000 square foot building they inhabit today. Kathy is attracted to Bakelite from the 1930s, which shows up in the store as radios, handles on antique furniture and in a wide selection of jewelry. Carl’s business in slot machines inhabits a sizable space in the store’s ground floor, and, true to current trends in the roaring return of analog media, the Himmelmans are opening a listening room, where customers can try out vintage console record players and listen to vinyl the way it was meant to be heard. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The thing that Kathy enjoys most about spending her retirement in an antique store is the history lessons she witnesses daily.

The two stores are a study in contrast. Found is clean and focused on creating a casual vibe, providing quality housewares and more at a good price point. Weber’s tastes are eclectic, but he is hoping to provide good value to the folks in the neighborhood, while also creating a space for community activity. Found features new art shows each month and has a stage where local musicians play during openings, which align with the \u003ca href=\"http://www.piedmontavestroll.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Piedmont Avenue Stroll\u003c/a> the third Thursday of each month. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/12/piedmont.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/12/piedmont.jpg\" alt=\"piedmont\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-10208609\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Next door, Marty Martinez’s shop is a place built for serious rummaging. The store is piled high and requires some real effort — the exact opposite of Found’s clean curation. Martinez, who celebrated his 86th birthday last week, is a painter who graduated from CCAC — California College of Art and Craft — in 1951 (back before the school shed that final C). He raised 5 boys in the Piedmont neighborhood where his store has been located for 45 years. His interest in painting has led to a large (and somewhat unruly) collection of frames and canvases piled dozens deep. Martinez says that if you know what you’re looking at, there is treasure to be found within.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv class=\"callout noborder\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/12/katz2.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/12/katz2.jpg\" alt=\"katz2\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-10208627\">\u003c/a>\n\u003ch3>Katz Modern\u003c/h3>\n\u003ch5>1605 Ashby Ave., Berkeley, CA\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"http://www.katzmodern.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Information\u003c/a>\u003c/h5>\n\u003cp>I’ve never been inside Katz Modern, but I can say that, hands down, the place is full of the coolest items I saw in my adventures around the bay.

He says that he started collecting weird antiques about 25-30 years ago, when he was a self-described “dope fiend” with a shopping cart on the lookout for items he could trade or sell. Luckily he made friends along the way who helped guide him into rehab and onto his current path. He makes most of his sales online and at indoor modern furniture shows; most of his stuff ends up in L.A. and Manhattan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Katz opens on Saturdays to “give the public a chance to maybe buy something.” But he warns that he doesn’t sell things for cheap. “You have to know what you’re looking at in my store.” And be willing to pay a fair price. What I saw through the building’s picture windows was a whole lot of amazing stuff. Katz has come through his journey with a great eye and a strong focus. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Saturdays he shares the store with his buddy, Rockabilly musician Chris Ford’s Hercules Records, which sells vinyl and runs a country radio station out of the place. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Katz says, “I don’t know anything about having a perfect business.

Where Urban Ore is piled full of things that need sorting, Omega Salvage, which like Urban Ore specializes in materials salvaged from remodels and demolitions, has already done the sorting for you. If you are looking for stained glass windows culled from an old church, go to Omega. I covet the 1930s era bathtubs that sit in the yard. There is also this deco tiling that I have lusted after for years, but one, I don’t have anywhere to put it and two, yikes, it’s really expensive! They have amazing rare items there — mostly located on the west side of San Pablo Ave. and then things that are a little more common and affordable located in Omega’s other lot on the east side of the street. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Omega has really good sorters, which results in drawers full of keys, hinges, door knobs, latches; they have rooms full of light fixtures, globes, chains, mounts, whatever.

Pimpan spends most of her time doing estate sales for others and has figured out a way to make her expertise contribute something back to the community while she’s at it. She introduced the concept of estate sales to the Alameda County Public Guardian’s Office and the Sheriff’s Department as a way for elderly people who can no longer take care of themselves to come up with the funds needed for their own health care and nursing home expenses. Pimpan’s a Virgo; I understand they are service oriented. “It really makes a difference knowing that you are helping, whether the people being helped know it or not,” she says. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pimpan also believes in karma, and applies this belief to her business, paying fair prices for the things she picks up for her store, which she describes as having a “hippie bohemian” vibe to it. When I asked her what she was attracted to most, or what she featured in her store, she first answered that the store didn’t necessarily reflect her interests. Then she looked around and described what was there: Danish modern, teak and rosewood furniture; estate jewelry; 20th century abstract art; vintage clothing. “Hmm.

Ferguson found the perfect location, a U-shaped complex that houses an eclectic mix of furnishing, books, etc. The original section of the building was a lumberyard that dates to the late 1800s, according to Ferguson. The building later became a manufacturing complex for vinyl siding and roofing. Now it houses at least five rooms full of furniture and other items for the home. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When I asked him what kinds of objects attracted him, Ferguson said the first thing that had to go out the window when he started the business was his own personal taste.

Urban Island calls itself the “East Bay’s largest consignment furniture store,” which is infinitely believable given the size of the structure.

What sets owners Lino and Lann apart is not just their sensibility, which is a little bit shabby chic, but also their warmth and sense of humor, which is on display in the store in more ways than one. What’s great about a good rummage store is the wit used in putting the space together. Lino and Lann have a playfulness that shows both in the things they collect and how they display them. When asked what kinds of items they look for, Lino says, “Functional, with character and style.” And quickly adds that he and Lann are proud to have helped furnish much of the neighborhood with their finds over the years.

As his interests and collection expanded, he decided to open a store in Los Angeles, which is an important detail when describing what goes on at Big Daddy’s. With additional locations in Aspen, CO and in San Francisco at the bottom of Potrero Hill, the company thinks big. Aimed at “interior designers, set decorators, landscape architects, photographers, event planners, and enthusiastic art & design lovers,” much of what you encounter at Big Daddy’s looks like something you might find on the set of a Hollywood film or in the pages of a magazine. It’s like Restoration Hardware, only with imagination. You can find genuine antique collectibles in the store’s old, barn-like, San Francisco location alongside newly fabricated mash-ups of interesting finds re-purposed and made new. Big Daddy’s employs a whole team of welders, word-workers and design professionals to remake many of the oddball elements they collect into exciting pieces of usable sculpture. Prices are steep, but pretty much everything they make is jumbo-sized, so none of it would fit into my little studio apartment anyway. I go to Big Daddy’s to witness the play of imagination and craftsmanship.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/div>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10159846\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/11/junkforsale1.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/11/junkforsale1.jpg\" alt=\"A sign on display at The Apartment\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10159846\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/11/junkforsale1.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/11/junkforsale1-400x266.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A sign on display at The Apartment\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cdiv class=\"callout noborder\">\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10145887\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/11/collage.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/11/collage.jpg\" alt=\"Collage\" width=\"400\" height=\"373\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10145887\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Collage\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>Collage Gallery\u003c/h3>\n\u003ch5>1345 18th St., San Francisco\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"http://collage-gallery.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Information\u003c/a>\u003c/h5>\n\u003cp>Collage has been on Potrero Hill for 24 years, but was taken over three years ago by new owner Mary Petrin.

Petrin has instituted a new visual art program, which displays the work of local artists on one wall of the tiny space, and has begun to concentrate more on jewelry (of the steampunk/collage variety).

Today, the third space is inhabited by Bonhomie, which is run by Nittolo’s former employee Liest Sutherland, but the three stores flow into one another fairly seamlessly. All combine eclectic collections of vintage goods with mostly new clothing by predominately local designers.

The business started when Brandon Clark arrived in S.F. about five years ago and started working with John Rolston, who has a junk hauling business in the city. After recycling raw materials and donating items to Goodwill, the two would find themselves left with what John calls “precious junk,” which they either sold at Alemany each week or at Alameda once a month, or ended up collecting in their own apartments. Once Clark’s storefront apartment filled up, he decided it was time to open a real store and start passing some of this “cool old stuff” onto other San Franciscans to appreciate. Shortly thereafter he was joined by Anthony Williamson, a friend from design school, and the two opened a “design/build” company together — Clark majored in graphic design, Williamson in industrial design. When they are not doing household handyman work (small building projects, furniture design), the two collect and sell offbeat used items and locally made new ones (soap, t-shirts, jewelry) by their growing network of artist/craftsman friends.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv class=\"callout noborder\">\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10145891\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/11/perish.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/11/perish.jpg\" alt=\"The Perish Trust\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10145891\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Perish Trust\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>The Perish Trust\u003c/h3>\n\u003ch5>728 Divisadero St., San Francisco\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"http://www.theperishtrust.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Information\u003c/a>\u003c/h5>\n\u003cp>Since 2008, The Perish Trust has been a pretty interesting self-described “general store.” The space is dominated by a great loft office made out of old windows and accessed by a solid, but rickety looking staircase that ascends to the left of the front desk.

They started out on the first floor of a huge former moving and storage space and then a year and half later opened a second floor. The space, started by the guys famous in the East Bay for Aunt Bill’s, houses 60 independent small business, that each inhabit, maintain and restock their own sections. But you wouldn’t know it by looking, there is a wildly funny sensibility at play inside the space, with items large and small wittily displayed with an almost camp sensibility. Statues seem to dance, there is a whole wall of cheeky amateur paintings of naked men and, it was pointed out to me, the pathway through both floors is marked by a rectangle of red carpet. “Who doesn’t love to walk the red carpet?” I was asked. Who indeed? Personal Note: I walked in there on my last birthday and found an extra large library flat file for $450, which was practically a robbery just waiting to take place. After looking for one that could house my oversized screen prints for years, it was indeed a happy birthday to me.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv class=\"callout noborder\">\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10148750\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/11/zonal.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/11/zonal.jpg\" alt=\"Zonal\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10148750\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Zonal\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>Zonal Home Interiors\u003c/h3>\n\u003ch5>568 Hayes St., San Francisco\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"http://www.zonalhome.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Information\u003c/a>\u003c/h5>\n\u003cp>Located in the heart of Hayes Valley for 24 years, Zonal has anchored that neighborhood through hard times and boom times. The tagline on the store’s website reads: “One Man, One Store, One Passion,” and that man is Russell Pritchard, who opened Zonal after relocating from NYC. Pritchard was one of the original Hayes Valley business owners who led the push to tear down the Central Freeway, which was damaged in the Loma Prieta earthquake. Back in the day, freeway pillars with “sidewalk closed” signs mounted onto them blocked the now-bustling thoroughfare. Pritchard and other neighborhood mainstays jousted for years with the city, painting over the signs that threatened to keep their little pocket of commerce secret. The store’s main focus is American primitive furniture, mostly due to Pritchard’s Saskatchewan roots. Settlers there took over parcels of land, using the trees to both build their own houses and populate them with roughly hewn furniture. Zonal is anchored by large pieces like this, supplemented with authentic, pre-WWII industrial pieces (old shop carts and worktables) along with fun and funky collectibles and a smattering of shelves, tables and chairs handcrafted by local artisans out of found elements (two old wooden ladders become a bookshelf). Additionally, Zonal has represented a handful of selected visual artists (collage, painting) for years. In 2014, Pritchard began sharing the space with Joan O’Connor, who lost the location for her Timeless Treasures store earlier this year. If you are looking for old business sign and marquee lettering, her collection is extensive and unmatched, inhabiting the back third of Zonal’s upstairs.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>If you have a favorite vintage/junk shop in San Francisco, please share in the comments below.

I can lose myself for hours sifting through the artifacts (large and small) of times gone by, probably because it reminds me more of archeology than of shopping. And it feels good to re-imagine yesterday’s throw-away as a treasure today. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you are in search of a bargain, then spend your Sundays at the \u003ca href=\"http://sfgsa.org/index.aspx?page=1059\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Alemany Flea Market\u003c/a>, where mountains of “collectibles” are on offer. As with all such bazaars, the relics you uncover there will have a direct relationship to the amount of energy you put into the dig. Similarly, the Mission district’s beloved \u003ca href=\"http://thrifttown.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Thrift Town\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.communitythriftsf.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Community Thrift\u003c/a>, located within a block of one another just off 17th Street, will also yield treasures to committed excavation. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The purveyors at the stores on this list have already done some of the digging for you, and as a result they are a little pricier than the larger emporiums. But half the fun is in the display. Many combine new, locally made items with interesting vintage ones. I have found the absolute perfect gift for many of my more finicky friends at just about every location on this list.

What sets owners Lino and Lann apart is not just their sensibility, which is a little bit shabby chic, but also their warmth and sense of humor, which is on display in the store in more ways than one. What’s great about a good rummage store is the wit used in putting the space together. Lino and Lann have a playfulness that shows both in the things they collect and how they display them. When asked what kinds of items they look for, Lino says, “Functional, with character and style.” And quickly adds that he and Lann are proud to have helped furnish much of the neighborhood with their finds over the years. The Apartment is that kind of place.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv class=\"callout noborder\">\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10145885\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/11/aria.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/11/aria.jpg\" alt=\"Aria\" width=\"400\" height=\"348\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10145885\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Aria\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>Aria\u003c/h3>\n\u003ch5>1522 Grant Ave., San Francisco\u003cbr>\n(415) 433-0219\u003c/h5>\n\u003cp>The term “curiosity shop” best describes Aria, which has been tucked at the end of Grant Street, not too far below Coit Tower since 1995. Stepping into the shop is like entering another era, there is a particular concentration on a certain kind of sculpture and texture that ineffably reflects the old-world charm of the shop’s North Beach neighborhood. Owner Bill Haskell travels to Europe a couple of times each year to replenish the stocks of biological and zoological maps, letterpress blocks, busts, dolls, keys and all number of other mysterious marvels that populate the shop. \u003ca href=\"http://www.atlasobscura.com/places/aria-antiques\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Atlas Obscura\u003c/a> describes this place better than I ever could, even though it is one of my favorite places to visit in San Francisco: “Enchanting in its eccentricity, the walls are filled with strange and beautiful pieces that can easily transport one to Parisian street markets past, the atmosphere heady with the music of Tom Waits, Jacques Brel, and Serge Gainsbourg.”\u003c/p>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv class=\"callout noborder\">\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10145886\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/11/bigdaddy.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/11/bigdaddy.jpg\" alt=\"Big Daddy's Antiques\" width=\"400\" height=\"267\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10145886\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Big Daddy’s Antiques\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>Big Daddy’s Antiques\u003c/h3>\n\u003ch5>1550 17th St., San Francisco\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"http://bdantiques.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Information\u003c/a>\u003c/h5>\n\u003cp>Big Daddy’s owner Shane Brown started his career selling items at various California flea markets (including Alameda) years ago. As his interests and collection expanded, he decided to open a store in Los Angeles, which is an important detail when describing what goes on at Big Daddy’s. With additional locations in Aspen, CO and in San Francisco at the bottom of Potrero Hill, the company thinks big. Aimed at “interior designers, set decorators, landscape architects, photographers, event planners, and enthusiastic art & design lovers,” much of what you encounter at Big Daddy’s looks like something you might find on the set of a Hollywood film or in the pages of a magazine. It’s like Restoration Hardware, only with imagination. You can find genuine antique collectibles in the store’s old, barn-like, San Francisco location alongside newly fabricated mash-ups of interesting finds re-purposed and made new. Big Daddy’s employs a whole team of welders, word-workers and design professionals to remake many of the oddball elements they collect into exciting pieces of usable sculpture. Prices are steep, but pretty much everything they make is jumbo-sized, so none of it would fit into my little studio apartment anyway. I go to Big Daddy’s to witness the play of imagination and craftsmanship.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/div>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10159846\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/11/junkforsale1.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/11/junkforsale1.jpg\" alt=\"A sign on display at The Apartment\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10159846\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/11/junkforsale1.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/11/junkforsale1-400x266.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A sign on display at The Apartment\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cdiv class=\"callout noborder\">\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10145887\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/11/collage.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/11/collage.jpg\" alt=\"Collage\" width=\"400\" height=\"373\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10145887\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Collage\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>Collage Gallery\u003c/h3>\n\u003ch5>1345 18th St., San Francisco\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"http://collage-gallery.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Information\u003c/a>\u003c/h5>\n\u003cp>Collage has been on Potrero Hill for 24 years, but was taken over three years ago by new owner Mary Petrin.

Petrin has instituted a new visual art program, which displays the work of local artists on one wall of the tiny space, and has begun to concentrate more on jewelry (of the steampunk/collage variety).

The atmosphere is calming; the decor is smooth. Owner Jeff Farnsworth, who has been at this location for 8 years, prefers designs from the early 1950s, “hard-edge, Bauhaus-derived” mostly furniture. Specializing in famous mid-20th-century designers, such as Charles and Ray Eames, Max Gottschalk and Finn Juhl, Farnsworth has a nice collection of smaller things on display as well, including beautiful modernist abstract sculptures, metal bookends, and limited-run, high-end design lamps (there was one shaped like a pill that filled me with desire).\n\u003c/p>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv class=\"callout noborder\">\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10145889\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/11/bellecose.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/11/bellecose.jpg\" alt=\"Molte Cose\" width=\"400\" height=\"306\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10145889\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Molte Cose\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>Bonhomie, Molte Cose, Belle Cose\u003c/h3>\n\u003ch5>2036 – 2044 Polk St., San Francisco\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"http://www.moltecose.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Information\u003c/a>\u003c/h5>\n\u003cp>Teresa Nittolo opened Molte Cose (Many Things) 25 years ago. Ten years later, a second space opened, which she called Belle Cose (Beautiful Things) and then shortly thereafter she expanded into a third in a trio of what looks like 1930s storefronts on Polk Street near Broadway. Today, the third space is inhabited by Bonhomie, which is run by Nittolo’s former employee Liest Sutherland, but the three stores flow into one another fairly seamlessly. All combine eclectic collections of vintage goods with mostly new clothing by predominately local designers. Nittolo likes the basics, “things that won’t go out of style in a year,” and concentrates on bringing that sense of a classic style to life in her two stores.

The business started when Brandon Clark arrived in S.F. about five years ago and started working with John Rolston, who has a junk hauling business in the city. After recycling raw materials and donating items to Goodwill, the two would find themselves left with what John calls “precious junk,” which they either sold at Alemany each week or at Alameda once a month, or ended up collecting in their own apartments. Once Clark’s storefront apartment filled up, he decided it was time to open a real store and start passing some of this “cool old stuff” onto other San Franciscans to appreciate. Shortly thereafter he was joined by Anthony Williamson, a friend from design school, and the two opened a “design/build” company together — Clark majored in graphic design, Williamson in industrial design. When they are not doing household handyman work (small building projects, furniture design), the two collect and sell offbeat used items and locally made new ones (soap, t-shirts, jewelry) by their growing network of artist/craftsman friends.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv class=\"callout noborder\">\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10145891\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/11/perish.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/11/perish.jpg\" alt=\"The Perish Trust\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10145891\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Perish Trust\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>The Perish Trust\u003c/h3>\n\u003ch5>728 Divisadero St., San Francisco\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"http://www.theperishtrust.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Information\u003c/a>\u003c/h5>\n\u003cp>Since 2008, The Perish Trust has been a pretty interesting self-described “general store.” The space is dominated by a great loft office made out of old windows and accessed by a solid, but rickety looking staircase that ascends to the left of the front desk.

They share the space with other businesses, for a while, you’d encounter a line of folks waiting to try on a pair of Warby Parkers, the glass frame du jour (or maybe they are now “d’hier”). Today they share the space with Umami Mart, a Japanese kitchen store that has another location in downtown Oakland.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/div>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10159845\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/11/liveinpast1.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/11/liveinpast1.jpg\" alt=\"A sign on display at The Apartment\" width=\"800\" height=\"457\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10159845\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/11/liveinpast1.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/11/liveinpast1-400x228.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A sign on display at The Apartment\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cdiv class=\"callout noborder\">\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10145892\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/11/stuff.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/11/stuff.jpg\" alt=\"Stuff\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10145892\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Stuff\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>Stuff\u003c/h3>\n\u003ch5>150 Valencia St., San Francisco\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"https://www.stuffsf.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Information\u003c/a>\u003c/h5>\n\u003cp>Stuff has been at the end of Valencia street since 2011. They started out on the first floor of a huge former moving and storage space and then a year and half later opened a second floor. The space, started by the guys famous in the East Bay for Aunt Bill’s, houses 60 independent small business, that each inhabit, maintain and restock their own sections. But you wouldn’t know it by looking, there is a wildly funny sensibility at play inside the space, with items large and small wittily displayed with an almost camp sensibility. Statues seem to dance, there is a whole wall of cheeky amateur paintings of naked men and, it was pointed out to me, the pathway through both floors is marked by a rectangle of red carpet. “Who doesn’t love to walk the red carpet?” I was asked. Who indeed? Personal Note: I walked in there on my last birthday and found an extra large library flat file for $450, which was practically a robbery just waiting to take place. After looking for one that could house my oversized screen prints for years, it was indeed a happy birthday to me.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv class=\"callout noborder\">\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10148750\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/11/zonal.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/11/zonal.jpg\" alt=\"Zonal\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10148750\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Zonal\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>Zonal Home Interiors\u003c/h3>\n\u003ch5>568 Hayes St., San Francisco\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"http://www.zonalhome.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Information\u003c/a>\u003c/h5>\n\u003cp>Located in the heart of Hayes Valley for 24 years, Zonal has anchored that neighborhood through hard times and boom times. The tagline on the store’s website reads: “One Man, One Store, One Passion,” and that man is Russell Pritchard, who opened Zonal after relocating from NYC. Pritchard was one of the original Hayes Valley business owners who led the push to tear down the Central Freeway, which was damaged in the Loma Prieta earthquake. Back in the day, freeway pillars with “sidewalk closed” signs mounted onto them blocked the now-bustling thoroughfare. Pritchard and other neighborhood mainstays jousted for years with the city, painting over the signs that threatened to keep their little pocket of commerce secret. The store’s main focus is American primitive furniture, mostly due to Pritchard’s Saskatchewan roots. Settlers there took over parcels of land, using the trees to both build their own houses and populate them with roughly hewn furniture. Zonal is anchored by large pieces like this, supplemented with authentic, pre-WWII industrial pieces (old shop carts and worktables) along with fun and funky collectibles and a smattering of shelves, tables and chairs handcrafted by local artisans out of found elements (two old wooden ladders become a bookshelf). Additionally, Zonal has represented a handful of selected visual artists (collage, painting) for years. In 2014, Pritchard began sharing the space with Joan O’Connor, who lost the location for her Timeless Treasures store earlier this year. If you are looking for old business sign and marquee lettering, her collection is extensive and unmatched, inhabiting the back third of Zonal’s upstairs.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>If you have a favorite vintage/junk shop in San Francisco, please share in the comments below.
