What a treasure trove! While the idea of so many people throwing things away after hardly using them at all is terrible, I love that they found a new and much longer life in someone else’s home. As someone who can’t walk past a secondhand or vintage shop without going inside, I think it would have been absolutely fascinating to search through the treasure left behind!
The Dumptique! Many of my characters get their clothes from there - along with a few of my (real) Vineyard friends!!!Congratulations in advance on your book launch :) Tracey (writing as T. Elizabeth Bell)
I am so happy to find you here! I can't wait to read your new book. Thank you for your fun introduction to the Dumptique.
I live in a college town and next door to another. When my husband worked in maintenance at BYU, he would occasionally bring home cast-offs from students at the end of a semester. We had some great finds.I also had a similar experience on my mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormon). As we moved from area to area, we would leave clothes, dishes, etc. for the next sisters to find. I would find especially good stuff as sisters were going home from their missions.
Just entered the giveaway! So excited for the book and my trip to MV next week! I’m printing out this post to share with my book club while we’re in MV!

Pre-ordered! Congratulations, Martha! Also, your mother is so charming and stylish. 🌸
Great story! First date shooting rats - that’s indeed a first!
