Anyone who knows me knows that I could spend hours perusing the booths at an antique store or the racks at a thrift store. When doing this I am usually just looking to be looking and I try not to go into any shop with a specific item in mind. I love how all my thrifted/antique items that I have found all have a story behind them because they were found unexpectedly and usually for a killer price. I prefer to find things naturally rather than searching for something on etsy or ebay, although I will use these resources if I’m dying to get my hands on something, or its something I can’t pass up.
I thought it would be fun to share with you my current “thrift list” for 2011. Of course this list is constantly changing, but these items have been on my list for quite some time. If any of you know a place where I might get lucky and find one of these items on the shelves, please let me know. I’m looking for things at dirt cheap prices people!!
