Attention Shoppers
In this week's episode, Tim and Eve are talking about what we've been up to since the last pod, our plan for a Analog Instagram Challenge, and Tim talks about how he balances art and commerce with his designs for the store. We also discuss what you can learn from mall stores and Target, even as we talk trash about them. We're happy to be back, and hope that you'll stick with us. We're back on the podhorse!

info_outline A Soft OpeningAttention Shoppers
In this extremely short episode of Attention Shoppers, we talk just long enough to set the stage for a real episode.
info_outlineIn our first "official" episode, we share a bottle of bubbly with our partners and pals Sand Shed, a vintage and upcycled goods company that shares space with us at Avenues Dry Goods (4120 Irving Street in San Francisco).
Sand Shed founders Hannah Gordon and Sarah Biggart are lifelong thrifters who started their business as a way to fund their road trips and shed some of their hoard. Friends since eight grade, the duo initially bonded following some middle school slumber party drama (aka the best kind of drama), and live together not too far from their place of business. Give a listen to hear the secrets of keeping your side hustle fun, listen to us dish the dirt on Men Who Explain Things (h/t Rebecca Solnit), and be completely disgusted by Sarah's answer to one of Attention Shoppers' SOON TO BE ICONIC Five Questions.
