I snatched up some amazing finds yesterday while thrifting and I wasn’t even in need of retail therapy! I just went out in search of more vintage buttons, and I found a whole slew of fantastic little somethings (no clothes, though, I was faithful to my 30 for 30 challenge)!
It’s really underrated, you know, thrift and second hand shopping. I get the most amazing pieces for pennies while also foregoing the needless packaging, carbon footprints, and sweat shop labor that are products of most regular stores.
Here’s what I claimed for myself yesterday:
Three vintage Americana wire baskets, a leafy serving tray I've been dreaming about, a lovely pill box hat.
Great percolator that makes better coffee than our French Press!
Wire basket that Ryan's going to affix to the back of my bike!
I also got a bunch of buttons (Seriously, a lot. I’m addicted). All of that for around $30! And…
An antique treadle sewing machine circa 1887 -- also around $30.
So yeah, thrift store shopping is where it’s at. You’re welcome.
See you all tomorrow!

P.s. My cats are like Waldo – they pride themselves in hiding in as many of my photos as they can. I’d love to see if any of you can spot the little hider in this entry!
