“I don’t do well with digging through piles of clothes. I get overwhelmed by crowds and disorder. But I do appreciate fashion and style, so it was a fun outing. [...] I found the clever cat box at Coffee with Dot Vintage first. I figured cloisonné meant some equivalent of “box.” Just a few steps away, at a shop full of estate sale items, I found a little pendant that was also labeled as cloisonné. I walked away from it initially, but I kept thinking about it… so I went back and got it!”
