She is a struggling single mom who went through a lot the past couple of years, barely surviving working hard to make ends meet. Amanda came very close to losing her home.
Recently while shopping for vintage to sell in her store she came across this coat.
After doing some research on the label 'For The Wardrobe of Bill Beck Varsity Shop, Mt Vernon Washington' she discovered the coat belonged to Glenn Beck's dad.
Amanda did what she thought was the right thing, she sent the coat to Glenn Beck free of charge because she firmly believes the coat belongs to him. When he called her to thank her she never mentioned her business or asked for a dime. What is also really special about this story is that on the week of her birthday, Amanda gave unconditionally.
Amanda is my hero.

I thought I'd share this inspirational story with all of you during this time when we all gather with loved ones to give thanks for all that we have.
That giving & kindness is the true spirit of the season and we hold much more in common than not.
Happy Holidays everyone!
This is the reason I love vintage, the story behind each piece.
