This week's thrift store finds

Toggles was a really cool bottled beer shop that was a great gathering spot. Eventually their landlord just didn't want to continue the lease and they went out of business. Thankfully a very cool black-owned beer hall is in the space now, but it's too bad Toggle's is just gone.

Something very important happened to me in that space. We checked out the Everett Maker's Market, where I met the organizer and bought some air plants from her. She's the one who told me about Live in Everett, which is the blog I became a local writer on. My portfolio from LiE among others is how I got my first full-time writing job.
