The Dose: Summer 2025
The Dose is a seasonal newsletter from Sandra and the crew at We Thieves where we share what we're currently "dosing on" with our subscribers. We wanted to make it more readily available to our friends, followers on the socials, and Thieves far and wide, so we've decided to start adding The Dose to our web blog here. Stay tuned for more...and thanks for dosin' with us! 🖤

Summer is (un)officially here now that Memorial Day has passed! This time of year, graduations are in full swing, and as students pack up and head out, they often leave behind treasures on the streets we fondly call the "Boston Christmas." We vintage and thrift lovers know how to appreciate a great bargain, and nothing beats finding something amazing for FREE, right?
Just last week, we returned from an exciting round of sourcing trips, hunting down the finest finds, along with a few estate clean-outs and visits to our favorite jewelry dealers. You know we can’t resist bringing you the best jewelry!
Now, let’s dive into the goodies—we can't wait to see you all in the stores!
~ Sandra, Emma, Molly + The We Thieves Team
1. Adorning: The Pearl Choker to end all pearl chokers. This Vintage Mother-Of-Pearl Shell Dagger Beaded Necklace is the ultimate summer show-stopper. $108
2. Watching: High Art, 1998, Directed by Lisa Cholodenko. This gorgeous movie elevated Allie Sheedy, former Brat Pack of the 80s, after a hiatus in her career. The soundtrack done by Shudder To Think lays a perfect backdrop. A young female intern at a small magazine company and a drug-addicted lesbian photographer (Allie) slowly fall in love while exploiting each other to advance their respective careers. Stream on Amazon.
3. Burning: Tulum Travel Candle. Bring the vacation with you. Certainly some scorchers ahead, for now, enjoy waves of Coconut, Cucumber Water, Gardenia, and Ylang-Ylang. Delightful summer gift for housewarming, or backyard hangs. $20. In-store at Mass Ave.
4. Wearing: This Vintage Hawaiian Cobalt Blue Floral Maxi is a handmade piece with outstanding construction. Piping along the neckline, cuffs and empire waistline, darting around the bust and elbows, and pleating down the center back waistline that gives it a slight train-effect. Swoon. $88
5. Adorning: Fat & The Moon Lip Paints. On sale at both of our shops, the perfect summer pop of color to add to any look. Pigmented, but not sticky. $16
6. Listening: NTS Radio has been on full blast these days. Playlist The Uline Catalog w/ Calvin LeCompte with uptempo, psychedelic folk tracks and a little bit of boogie, this channel has been in heavy rotation.
7. Toting: The twisted lucite handle and scalloped edges on this Vintage 1950's Crochet Handbag is the ultimate classic. Upgraded with the lucite for an extra twist, carry with you to the beach, outlets, or picnics this summer.
8. Wearing: Two words. Denim Shorts. Madonna was a big fan throughout the 80's + 90's. And to be honest, who isn't?! Both stores are locked and loaded. We cut them long - so you can cut them shorters or wear as is. YOU DO YOU!
9. Coveting: Coral + Turquoise + Sterling = Perfection. Weighing in at 9g, this size 7 statement ring is one for the ages .$148
10. Socializing: There's a new girl in town! Further down Mass Ave (closer to Davis) is Tilde: a coffee and wine bar open 8a-10p daily serving up natural wines, coffee, and treats from local distributors. Warm and welcoming, they're always happy to see you. A true community spot. We're excited to have them in the neighborhood.
Thanks for being here friends...we sure do appreciate it!
