Thrift shops and flea markets are like a magnet to me. I can't see one without wanting to go in and check out what treasures are on offer.
I don't always find things but I enjoy the experience of looking.
I like things vintage and antique. They have a history and tell a story, worn by use and time and life. I like peeling paint and that patina of age that time leaves. I've worn vintage clothing since my teens way back in the 70s when I was at college and wore my mother's 50s dresses. I wish they still fitted! And I like the saying, "make do and mend". Why buy new when you can buy old and save the planet!
Your things are so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThankyou so much. And the joy of it is, they don't cost much! Fun on a budget. Just don't get enough time to work on my blogs!
