Mercy

Maybe it’s just me, but I feel like there are less and less great vintage stores around, so I was very excited when I drove by Mercy Vintage Now on Piedmont Avenue in Oakland the other day.  Stopped by to check it out in person today and it did not disappoint.  I found lots of great pieces, including a sweet navy blue lace dress with puff sleeves from the 40’s and a pink/red bohemian gown from the 70’s…
