Trunks Vintage Details Large and Fun
Trunks Vintage Antique Retro Refinished DIY. Love them, and they are so fun! I want one!
Hey everyone, how did your weekend go? Hope all was good. I made my first visit to a consignment store in another area I have not really dealt with. She had a nice store. In there I seen an old trunk with her vintage items, a more modern retro trunk, and then she also had an old military metal trunk too. Oh, what fun it was to look, and what memories it brought to me too.
I have watched trunks over time with vintage, how some are refinished with wax or paint, brought back to life, and sometimes converted into other useful things to use in the home. Amazing pieces, and I will find one that I just have to have some day, and get it. Till then it sure is a lot of fun looking.
Thanks so much for visiting with Thrifty Shop Girl today, and hope to see ya'll again soon. Happy Thrift Shopping! See ya later.

Reasons to Thrift, and What to Thrift Shop For. I can think of many with no excuses needed too. How about you? What is your preference? Thrift Stores, Second Hand Stores, Estate Sales, Good Will, Online Stores, and so many more places.
My preference is Thrift Stores, Second Hand Stores, and Estate Sales too. When I go out thrifting for the day I will go to all kinds of stores. All depends what town, or city I am in. What is there to shop with, and sometimes what I am in the mood to shop for too. Sometimes I want to shop just for items that I can repurpose with, upcycle, and recycle with. Other times it might be something I am looking for in the home with some of our decor. I am thrilled when I can find older vintage pieces, collectibles, and other times I will buy curtains, table cloths, or different linens just because I like the materials to use in altering for my own purposes.
So many possibilities out there to be seen, to have, and shopping on a dime is so much fun too! The pictures shown above this are just ideas of different things that can be found when you are out thrifting. The possibilities are endless. If you truly love the hunt then you will enjoy thrifting too. Sometimes I go by myself as I can spend time looking. But, sometimes having a friend along is a blast too. Someone to share your finds with, and ideas too.
Here it is the middle of the week. The weekend will soon be here, today is the official start of spring, weather is getting better to shop in, and I don't know about you....but I sure am getting antsy for the season to be good so I can get out there to do some thrifting.
Thanks so much for sharing your time with Thrifty Shop Girl today everyone. Glad to see you, and hope to see you dropping by again soon. Take care, have fun, and happy thrifting everyone!
Thrifting Found Vintage Wooden Hangers, a Green Vase, and some little goodies.
Hello, and Welcome to Thrifty Shop Girl everyone! Glad to have you here with me today. Another beautiful day, and it's going to be a great weekend for us too. As you are aware I am still working on downsizing our home, and did not do near as much Thrifting, Yard Saling, and Junking this year as I would have loved to have done. It is always hard to know what to keep, what to be rid of, donate, do I really need to keep this or this, and etc. It so happens that I am not the only one that faces these same issues...whew!
It is hard because we all like the glitter, the glamor, the collecting of pieces, and also finding pieces that some craft or repurpose with too. I did find someone making a comment that has kind of stuck with me too. I will share it with you, and see what you think of it. "All we truly need is one another. The rest is just, well, stuff." How true! Much of it is stuff, some of it is personal/family memories which are always good to keep, etc. So, this summer I have held myself back, and when I did go Thrifting I was a bit more selective with few pieces I would get too.
Above is a small amount that had come from another estate sale I had attended. I seen a few more things, liked them, but sometimes some of the prices are not anything to deal with too. On this particular trip I did get some wonderful old time hangers. I have some ideas, and hope by spring to implement some of it too. I did find a green glass vase that is also a vintage piece along with an aqua colored wrapped wired hanger for ties, and some adorable coasters too. Wasn't much, but it did satisfy me at this particular time with these few items.
I want to thank you for sharing your time with Thrifty Shop Girl, and I look forward to you visiting again as well. Take care, and have a wonderful weekend everyone! Happy Thrifting:)
Hello Everyone, and Welcome to Thrifty Shop Girl! Glad to have you stopping by, and visiting with Me! As you can see this is a new blog, new postings, and just new everything. I started this blog to be more of a personal one for me doing what I like to do, and sharing what I like to do also. Hmm...nice break from reality for a bit from my business blog, online stores, and etc.
So, making some notes, getting some ideas of what I want to share here, and hopefully we can have some fun doing it too! Nothing formal, nothing fancy, just down to earth simplicity and back to the basics of things. I am usually seen walking aisles of a good ole Thrift Shop, Good Will, Second Hand Store, Consignment Shops looking for the perfect find. Now, don't get worried if you see my feet hanging out a dumpster as I have been known to do that too!
I would love for you to join me as I go thrifting, and sometimes creating unique pieces for the home, outside, or maybe even for your home too! When thrifting I hunt for things of interest which would be vintage with a twist sometimes, mixing old and new, decorating, some cool collections, maybe some unique finds . . . and the list goes on and on!
Here is to thrifting, and thinking outside the box! Thanks for stopping by to visit with Me everyone. See ya'll again real soon. Have a wonderful weekend!:)
