Sweet Loraine's - Another Great Find!

I swear, Cleveland, Ohio has the best junk store shopping. Another great find, Sweet Loraine's (formerly Suite Loraine's) on Lorain Avenue! This place is really cool. It features clothing,  jewelry, furniture, collectibles, etc. I collect vintage toiletries (shave items, aftershave, lotions, hair tonics, medicinals) and have found great pieces at this place. http://www.sweetlorain.com/

Vintage and antique home furnishings monopolize the building with about half of the store featuring vintage clothing.  Vignettes throughout the store highlight women's dresses and hats, vintage toys, some super funky menswear (some of the stuff I've NEVER seen), jewelry all with seasonal (holiday) finds mixed in.
Tacky kitchenware fills shelves (much of which you will recognize from childhood) and vinyl records are filed, stacked and boxed for an afternoon of record shopping (remember records?)

The store has a new owner and all the guys running the joint that I've met have been great. These guys have some great items and price them accordingly...but, hey, you get what you pay for, right? Plan a vintage store road trip (or weekend) before the holidays and make this place a must see on your itinerary.
