THE WRAP

Today’s issue was written by Kyle.

Editor’s pick: I could spend an entire week sticking my nose in every corner of each antique + vintage shop in Greenville. While it’s not officially considered a vintage shop, I loved reader Beth B.'s tip to include ReCraft Creative Reuse Center. You’ll find stacks of vintage fabrics, maps, magazines, and books that you can proudly display on your coffee table or use them as craft materials for a handmade statement piece in your home.
