The one thing Spokane hasn't had in a while is a place for collectors to find clean, wearable, upscale vintage clothing.

For the last few years Finders Keepers on South Cedar filled a corner of the basement with funky finds, but the lighting was poor and the atmosphere less than glamorous.

Now the store has expanded and all the vintage clothing and accessories are upstairs. It's a very girly-girl place. My teenage daughter will love it.

I stopped by Saturday, after speaking about Why we collect" at the MAC. I didn't bring home any vintage clothing. (I'm a bit past my prime there. My funky fashion days are behind me, but let me tell you, back in the 80s...)

I did pick up a gorgeous, and very large, hand-hammered copper ewer.

The basement space that used to hold all those vintage threads is now full of furniture, pottery, paintings and textiles.

That's more my style.
