It's in New York, but I love this story of how vintage shop owner Ellen Koenigsberg got her start with her popular shop Ellen.
It's all about being in the right place at the right time, which is kind of how vintage shopping comes together, too.
I'm also awed by how Koenigsberg manages to stock her shop with high-end and designer pieces, and gets most of her stuff just by thrifting -- leaving online shopping and eBay entirely by the wayside.
