One of my all time top fave things to do in life is shop ;D
Not just any old shoppin' though, THRIFTING!
Seriously I love it, having a really good rummage though an icky lookin' thrift shop can sometimes produce the best stuff! Or having a great look through the nicer thrift stores for a cute designer outfit for cheap, what ain't to love!
I also have a real love/hate relationship with ebay, haha!
Now I don't think I could ever be one of those minimalistic types cos I loves ma knick knacks too much :)
I have been known for this since being a wee one, going to car boot sales with my family I picked up awesome bits and bobs (as my family says)
It has always filled me with glee, not just the bargain price but getting vintage things that are usual and rare, you know, just does it for me.
I think maybe I was just ahead of my time because this is now totally the thing to do but I, like many thrifty and individual chicks, we have been doing this for yonks.
Even if I was stinking rich I would love to thrift :)
One mans junk is another's treasure!
Awesome cat planter that I LOVE!
I LOVE this lamp base, so me!I don't love the shade so much, not sure if I should change it altogether or If I could revamp it a bit.
Any ideas??
My all time fave thing I ever thrifted was awesome, it was a wacom tablet for around £4!!! WHOA!
What was your thrifting gem recently or from forevers ago,

Cover the lamp shade in lace? I guess it depends on what you are going for!
My favorite thrift find was a ceramic brain that some child had made. It was too funny to pass up!
