Thrifting Finds I Left Behind
I do often regret a couple things I don’t pick up. However I do think it is important to be mindful of what I am bringing home. Just because you are thrifting doesn’t mean you are exempt from over consumption. Clutter and Money are all a factory not just about product waste. So here is a small sele

Thrift Finds I Loved , But Left Behind
Thrifting has become a bit of a ritual for me. About every two weeks, I make time to wander through antique malls and thrift stores. It’s my quiet time…my version of slowing down and looking closely. That said, I don’t buy everything I love. Sometimes the best part of thrifting is knowing when to

Enjoy thrifting. Love many decorating styles. Picking bargains. But I can’t take them all home. So, with regret, some treasures get left behind. Lemon8 allows me to remember and share them with you. The little jewelry chest was so stinking cute. The barn pic was primo, just out of my budget. Alway
