GC - vintage refers to something that is from a different time period, ie. 60s or 70s, though not necessarily antiqued. Thrift can be something that has been previously owned by someone else. I love thrift, vintage, and antique stores! Sounds like fun!

Thrift is just used. Doesn't have to be old, and tends to be very inexpensive (although some thrift stores have gone upscale in recent years, and prices have gone up too). I shop exclusively at thrift stores, so I'm not as familiar with vintage stores. I know that some thrift stores have lots of vintage (older) stuff. And there are plenty of stores that just sell vintage stuff. I think they're more expensive though. For example, you might find designer dresses and jeans from the 50s and 60s in a vintage store. You might also find them randomly in a thrift store, in among dresses from Wal Mart's 2008 collection (does Wal Mart have a collection?) and Banana Republic's 2003 collection. Hope that helps! Thanks GC!
