Thrift shop - Berry Hill
Posted

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Get a head start shopping for trendy clothes for the fall and winter at the Second Labels three-day pop-up sale.

The sale is happening at the Bedford Nashville in Berry Hill Thursday and Friday 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and on Saturday, items will be half off 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Owner Ariana Solis Gomez took her passion for sustainable fashion and turned it into a business. She started Second Lables in April and has been collecting items for this first pop-up shop. Gomez said she hopes there will be many more to come.

Sustainable fashion is clothing that is designed and distributed in an environmentally friendly way. Thrifting accomplishes this because instead of throwing unwanted clothes away and them ending up in a landfill, someone else can buy the item and it lives on in their closet.

The Second Labels pop-up has shoes, dresses, bags, accessories, coats, and more for women of all sizes.

People who are interested in selling their items can email Gomez at secondlabelsthrifting@gmail.com.

Nashville pet foster groups deal with overcrowding

It’s a sad reality that area animal shelters and non-profit rescue organizations face constant overcrowding -- with so many dogs, cats and other animals waiting for a forever home. Jason Lamb reports here that Metro leaders are working with those groups – including Critter Cavalry – to find solutions. I’ve fostered a dog from Critter Cavalry, so I understand the need is great. And I found my pup Domino through another local group, Proverbs Animal Rescue. Ultimately, it starts with all of us. Getting more dogs and cats spayed or neutered can help control the pet population – and ease the burden.
