About Dust & Glitter: Named after Karen Augusta’s first vintage fashion & textile shop, which she opened in 1978, Dust & Glitter sales present a fun and interesting mix of lots in a timed auction format, with lower opening bids than our catalog sale. Just like our in-person Discovery sales, you’re sure to find wearable staples and diamonds in the rough!
