One of my favorite elements of being a thrifter, treasure hunter, and digger is that it's always changing, always new. You can go to the same shop each week, but the inventory has completely changed for you to discover it all over again. Then taken to the next level, discovering new shops when you travel. Yippee! On my recent road trip through California and Oregon I was amazed that there are still great finds at amazing prices. Here are some of them….
And the chess piece de resistance…
Most of this stuff was a dollar or two, except for Mr. Horse lamp who was a mere $10 (or maybe it's a mare $10), and the silver tea service which was $20 (!!). This display does not even include the clothes and jewelry from the trip. Now I need a barn so I can make room in the house! In actuality, I end up sharing much of what I get.
There's so much great stuff all around us, and has been for a long time now. I'll say it again — if today we stopped manufacturing clothes, furniture, toys, and much more, there would be plenty for the whole world's needs for quite some time. And that's long enough. Re-Use, Re-Purpose, Re-Solve, Re-Source, Re-Connect with what's out there.
