I've had ok luck at the Salvation Army in Carson City, but my favorite is F.I.S.H on Carson Street next to the sushi place. I've found a ton of the stuff that I sell in my etsy shop in there! I guess I should post the finished restoration on this suitcase. I'm restoring a white one right now as wellAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02676514320533292790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6222734773232125139.post-9503093225825322852013-01-22T18:26:51.981-08:002013-01-22T18:26:51.981-08:00The Goodwills are a lot better out here then in So...The Goodwills are a lot better out here then in So Cal.
