recent thrift finds

We've been having some fun thrifting here and there. It has become somewhat of a hobby- an unpredictable, often exciting hobby. We have made a pact in attempts to avoid clutter and hoarding that for every one thing we bring in, two things we must send out. Okay, I kind of made this pact alone, but it's been working, so alone or not, it's a good thing.

Here are some recent finds:
This horse may just be my favorite find to date. It's the perfect addition to Logan's room.// I never thought these pots would have had such a great purpose. A little paint + a small plant = a special gift.// This book was called "Zoo." I bought it simply for the pictures. They are very vintage and full of color. Lo loved them too.// We have been on the search for Berenstain Bears books for a few weeks now, so it was such a score when we found two in excellent condition at our local thrift store.// Meet our Elf on the Shelf. We are not a very scene or mainstream family, so buying the literal "Elf on the Shelf" was out of the question. But this guy-- I could NOT pass up. He served the same purpose and had a ton of character so i'd say it was a triple win.// This bowl is a glass ice cream bowl perfect in size for a toddler's bed time snack. She loves it.

  2. I love thrifting for Childrens items! They go through toys so quickly, and they would never know the difference if something is new or old. To them, everything is new!
