Hello!


I've decided to make this blog because I have been thrifting for YEARS and I would love to share with you all the awesome shit that I find. When I go thrift shopping, I look at everything from clothes, shoes, furniture, home decor and much more. I mean I look at EVERYTHING, you just never know what you'll find. I don't really have the time to go through my closets and entire house to take pics of everything I've bought at the thrift store, so I will start with a few things I already have pics of and hopefully the rest will be new finds! Spring is approaching, and you know what that means: garage sales! Yay! And, also, lots more thrift store shopping because the weather is bearable. The old cliche 'One man's trash is another man's treasure' is SO true. Especially is this economy, we can all use to save a few bucks. What better way than buying used items. Hey, they're new to YOU.


I will start with a few of my all time favorite finds:

Reed & Barton Sterling Silver spoon ring. Monogrammed M and dated 1911. Intaglio style, Peony. Got this at a yard sale when I was 15 (2000) and paid $0.10 for it.

This Swiss-made Bernina Record 530 from the 1970's is probably my favorite item to date. I got it in 2009 at a Value World for...*drumroll please*...$5.00. Yes, $5.00. It wasn't working, but it had all of the parts including the case and manual...I couldn't pass it up. I took it to the local sewing shop and the woman at the counter was speechless when I told her what I paid for it.  It cost me $80 to fix, but it was so worth it. It works like a charm, is super quiet and does 20+ embroidery stitches. They go for $500+ on Ebay!

This last item I actually picked up last week for $2.00. Mint condition besides the fold creases. Upon researching it, I found...well, not much. It is a 'tea towel' made in Ireland of Irish Linen by 'Warderlet by Ulster'. I only found one like it one the internet, but it wasn't exactly the same. It had a different boy and the red and blue outlines on the edge were opposite. I just think it's really neat.
