I couldn’t help but think of the Thrift Shop song writing this post because I totally stole your grandpa’s grandma’s style when I bought these sunglasses. That’s OK though, because for $0.75 I’ll steal your great-grandma’s style too.
Every time I set a short time limit for a thrift stop, I always find something that’s one of a kind and very special. I gave myself 15 minutes to run into the Village Discount Outlet before heading to the gym one day and walked out with this $2 Ohio wall hanging. I drew a heart to represent the placement of Akron on the Ohio map and added this find to my living room wall collage.
I picked up this set of four porcelain floral mugs at the Montrose Salvation Army for $.50 a piece. This store is one of my all time favorite thrift shops. It’s packed with wall to wall vintage gems and the prices are ridiculously low. I really hope they don’t start raising their prices like some other local thrift shops I frequent.
I found these platform sandals at the Hartville Goodwill for $7. Wooden shoes tend to be pretty uncomfortable and these can be too if I wear them for an extended period of time. However, this is the perfect shoe for a summer maxi dress. I can’t wait to wear them again this spring.
It was dark by the time I got home from work so I had to get a little creative while taking these photos.
When I invited my girlfriends/models over for their first GoodStyle Fashion Show fitting I had no intentions of attempting a Downton Abbey inspired tea party or “luncheon” as they say in the series.
It’s Thrift Thursday! This week it’s a vintage 1950s Kodak Brownie camera I found at the Village Discount Outlet for $20.
I usually don’t post “thrift hauls” on my blog simply because I thrift too much and it would just be excess. Recently however, I stopped by the Brook Park Goodwill and spent 2.5 hours discovering one treasure after the next, that I feel compelled to share some (mind you, there’s still more) of my finds with my fellow second- hand fanatics.

Participating in Goodwill of Greater Cleveland & East Central Ohio’s GoodStyle Fashion show was hands down one of the most exhilarating things I’ve ever been a part of.
