Thrifted and Vintage: A Few Tidbits

My husband and I often find ourselves scouting the local thrift and vintage stores for our "fun" Saturday activities.  As I have mentioned before, I love to find home decor and accessory items second hand, especially when they are in good condition and priced well. It makes me feel like I won the lottery or something!

The price really is key though...Have you ever been to a thrift store or garage sale that is annoyingly over priced? It's like when you go to the Goodwill and just because an old t-shirt happens to have a Gap tag, it's 5 bucks more then all of the other old T-shirts. Plus, you could probably find it on sale at the Gap for the same price...only it won't be used. Or, someone doing a garage sale is selling there jogging stroller for $150, when they purchased it at $200! I always feel like saying, "don't you realize people are here because they are looking for a deal, and can't afford to buy new?"

Anyways, over last couple of weeks we have discovered multiple thrifted treasures to add to our home, and at great prices! Here are a few of my favorites...

Vintage Ansco Pioneer Film Camera - $4

1960's Desk Lamp - $5

Vintage Glass Jars - $1.50

1950's Retro Floor Lamp - $40
