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!
