When I first heard about these mobile stores modeled on food trucks, my jaw dropped at the simple genius of it all. I want to drive one across country for a month and fill it with thrift store treasures.

Ok. That might be the coolest idea ever. Seriously brilliant.

I met the owner of Lodekka. She goes to the outer edges of Oregon to find cools things and brings them to the PDX market to sell at higher prices.
I asked, she does not drive the bus across the state.
Best example of someone having their job at risk, and deciding to do something to control their destination

I was *just* in Portland and saw the Lodekka bus, but I didn’t have a chance to stop. My 9-year-old nephew asked why I gasped when I saw it, and I had to sit and patiently explain to him how cool his city is.

First of all, I want that trailer. Secondly? What a great idea?!?! Some times I think about chucking it all and living out of a trailer selling my wares and teaching yoga as we travel across the country. But then I watch Lost in America and I’m all good.

Lodekka lives three blocks from my house, and I always love to peek in. Such a happy idea for a shop.

I’m obsessed with the boots worn in that last picture that look like cow hide. I want them. Now. Are they as good in real life?
