Some women go to nail salons to unwind. I go to thrift or antique stores. I’m very thankful to live on an island where thrift and antique stores are everywhere! I live for the hunt. I could spend a full day meandering yard sales, thrift stores, antique shops. I call it treasure hunting. 😉
Ps. If you’re more of an “online shopper” you might enjoy my Facebook Marketplace Post!
Many of my favorite things in our home were thrift store finds! So today I thought I’d share some of the things I look out for when shopping!
- hardcover books that are pretty under the dust jacket (I remove the dust jackets) this is such a good way to fill bookshelves without spending $$$
- art. often you’ll need to swap out the frame but this is such a fun way to add unique pieces to your home
- table linens in fun fabrics anything bamboo – furniture, frames, vases, etc!
- blue and white. obviously I’m a sucker for anything and everything blue and white!
- vintage children’s clothes, books, & knick knacks!
- lamps – my favorite pink lamp was a $5 thrift store find! often times you can find great bases that just need a coat of paint, a new finnial or a new shade!
- dishes and pretty glassware
- decorative accents like corals, knots, seashells
- silver frames, cups, trays, and old silver trophies
- right now I’m interested in all of the 80’s rattan pieces floating around
- toys – this is usually a miss because the toys aren’t always in great shape but it’s fun to let alba grace pick something out, especially when it’s $0.50!
What are y’all on the hunt for when thrifting?
