I always find great vinyl records when thrift shopping, but nothing as great as this $0.50 find from the Habitat for Humanity ReStore. This live album was recorded in Chicago by Stevie Wonder on harmonica in 1962 when he was only 12 years old, and includes one of his most famous songs, Fingertips.
How is it time for Thrift Thursday again? I feel like I just wrote the post on last week’s 75 cent sunglasses. For this week’s thrift feature, we’re going as low as 40 cents. If you’re in the mood for a random book search, visit your local thrift shop asap! You never know what kind of book you will find.
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.
