Weddingbee boards

I'm heading to Boston on Thursday and wanted to check out a few vintage stores to see if they have any cool handbags or brooches for my wedding (and really it is just a good excuse to buy another purse!!) I'll be in the city all day Friday- we're doing the whole wedding dress thing there, so I'll be around the Priscilla of Boston store (by Newbury or Commonwealth street?).

Does anyone know of any really cool places in the Boston area I should check out?

I second the Garment District for vintage clothes, though I don't remember a particularly good selection of handbags. I'm going to keep checking this thread-- I love vintage clothes and can't seem to find good stores to shop at!

There's also a vintage store called Oona's in Harvard Square, but it hasn't got a wide selection. There are a few places on Newbury St. but they're mostly expensive estate jewelry, as opposed to cheap costume stuff.

Oh, and there's a random vintage-type store down by Boston Common, it's on the same street as the giant movie theater, it has tons of records in the window and, last I checked, a mannequin with a flowered chiffon dress (from the 30's) on it. It's mostly knick-knacks, but they might have something.

Second Time Around on Newbury street (also somewhere else) might be worth checking out especially if you're around the corner at Priscilla's!

 Thursday is a great day to be shopping in Boston because everything's open, but there aren't that many people.
