I Was Driving In The Neighborhood And Found This Floor Rug Rolled Up At The End Of Someone’s Sidewalk. As I Was Looking Over It, The Owner Of The House Came Out And Asked If I Wanted It. He Told Me It Was A Tapestry Rug That He Hung In His Wall. It Had Never Been Used As A Rug. I Asked Why He Was Getting Rid Of It And He Said He Was Changing His Decor. I Told Him I Couldn’t Lift It In My Car. It Was Super Heavy. He Helped Me Put It In My Car. He Told Me It Was Free, Merry Christmas! I Almost Fainted. I Had Wanted One For So Long, But It Was So Expensive To Buy. I Paid 0 For It! Win!!!

I Lost My Boston Terrier, Ollie, To Old Age This Summer And I’m Pretty Sure I Found Him At Goodwill Today As Christmas China

This Was Hand Made In The Seventies And Is One Of A Kind! Bought It Second Hand And Finally Got It Into My Space Today. It’s So Gorgeous And The Details Are Amazing. I’m An Herbalist And I’m Going To Use It As A Magical Herbal Storage Hutch. I Thought It Needed To Be Seen And Appreciated Here With All Of You Creative Lovely Treasure Hunters!

After Decades Of Weird Gifts From My Cousin, Who Shops Exclusively At Thrift Stores, He Scored A Treasure. I Call Them My “Cavorting Frogs.” I Love Them!

I’m Pretty Excited The Lamp On The Left Was On The Marketplace In Bullhead City, Az For $25 And I Said I Want It I’ll Come Get It. She Said Yeah I Was In My Grandma’s Stuff We Have One More And I Said Are You Selling It She Said Sure And She Brought It Out 25 Bucks… They Were Very Very Dirty. But I Think It’s An Excellent Score

I Found This Cup With A Family Of Mice In A Box Of Christmas Decorations In Salvation Army Trift Store, Ns Canada. It’s Already On My Tree❤️

Found This Vintage Dress That Was Too Good To Pass Up. Vintage From The 70’s And The Thrift Store Had Everything Half Off

Why not?’ And then it just kept growing and now we have over three million members!” The members of this online community are known as ‘Weirdlings.’ The founders have a huge appreciation for them and their “fabulous funky finds.”

Trigger Warning: Loss Of Pet About A Month Ago My Baby Passed Away. Peanut Was More Than Just My Cat- He Was My Emotional Support, My Confidant- My World. Last Night Was A Particularly Rough Night. I Fell Asleep Missing Him So Much And His Sleepy Self. I Decided To Take The Day Off Work And Go Thrifting. I Walked Into A Goodwill And Immediately Found This. It’s Nearly Identical To Peanut

My Great, Great, Grandmothers Table From Mexico. My Great Grandmother Brought It To Tx When She Came To The Us And She Gave It To My Grandmother When She And My Abuelo Bought Their First House. My Grandma Passed It On To My Mom When She Bought Her First House. I’ve Lived All Over The Us And The Table Was Too Delicate To Ship But I Knew Some Say I’d Get That Table. I Bought My First House (20 Years After My Travels) Last Year When I Moved Back Home And This Was One Of The First Items I Moved Into The House. My Mom And I Cried As We Brought It In And Set It Up. My Family Had So Little When They Came To The Us But This Table Was Always There. To Drink Cafe Con Pan And Talk Chisme (Gossip), To Cry, To Discuss Difficult Decisions And To Celebrate Anything And Everyone. Oh The Stories This Table Could Tell. Makes Me So Proud To Be A Part Of This Long Line Of Strong Resilient Amazing Women. 🥰

Found At My Apartment Garbage Can

My $8 Thrift Find From The Di Yesterday…not Sure I’ll Ever Use It But It Was Too Unique To Leave. Deviled Egg Christmas Tree…

For one, thrifting is simply a fun activity to get into. You’re checking out places you’ve likely never been to before. You’re getting lots of movement. You’re talking to new people all the time. And you’re on the lookout for cool stuff, whether you have something particular in mind or you’re just browsing.It gets you out of the house. It sure beats binging social media or lying on the sofa all day long.

Bought This Stock Pot At A Thrift Store 2 Days Ago, And I’m Not Joking When I Say I Keep Opening The Cabinet Just To Look At It! Me And My Sister Made Up A Fun Little Story About It, We Imagine We Run An Animal Rescue, And I Live In The Yellow House, She Lives In The Red House, And The Blue House Is A Barn For Our Animals. Really Is The Best $10 I Ever Spent 💛

I Found This Gang At A Church Thrift For .50 For The Whole Gang … They’re Amazing!! 💗

Found At A Local Flea Market

On top of that, there’s the thrill of discovery to keep you engaged. Curiosity is a wonderful thing to have, no matter what aspect of our lives we’re talking about. By going thrifting, you’re opening yourself up to new opportunities and possibilities. Look at it like a small adventure where you’re never quite sure how it’ll end. There’s a lot of fun to be found in the unexpected. But only if you’re open to being surprised.

Found This Wonderful Room Divider At An Antique Shop, Still Had The Little Pots And It Still Lights Up. I Love It!

Found This A Few Years Ago At Renningers Flea Market In Mount Dora, Fl For $2 And It’s My Most Favorite Christmas Decoration

Handed Down From My Grandmother - She’s 82, I Absolutely Love These 🫶🏽🫐🍫

Meanwhile, when you’re buying secondhand goods, you’re helping the environment. What this means is that you’re not purchasing new products that have to be manufactured, shipped, and then transported to the shops. This saves a lot in terms of water and fuel.For instance, the fashion industryuses more than 79 trillion(that’s ‘trillion’ with a ‘t’) liters of water every year. Though buying a secondhand sweater won’t save the planet, it’s small steps like this one that can quickly add up over time.

I Was Visiting My Friend In Paignton Devon And Found This In A Charity Shop. The Price Was 10p. He Really Cost Me 9p If You Consider The Penny Inside. The Date Of The Penny Is The Year I Was Born. He Was Meant To Be Mine. My Lucky Pig 🐷 🍀 Thank You All So Much For Your Kind Words But I Must Add This Bit! Someone Asked If I Happened To Be Born Under The Chinese Zodiac- Year Of The Pig? You’ve Guessed It…1971 My Year Of Birth Was Indeed A Year Of The Pig! The Coin Inside Is Also Dated 1971. My Mind Is Officially Blown 😁

Got This Beauty At A Yard Sale For .50 !!

Found This Gorgeous Piece In An Antique Shop In The Republic Of Ireland. Cost All Of €70. My Favorite Piece Of Furniture. The Rug We Found At An Auction House And Paid €15 For It And Another One

Buying secondhand goods is also easier on the wallet. You’re giving clothes, furniture, and knickknacks a second chance. Instead of ending up in a landfill or having to shell out for something new, you end up getting more use and happiness out of them. If money’s tight, secondhand shopping can be a real lifesaver. However, times are changing… and not necessarily for the better.

I Love Seeing Everyone’s Collections 🎄🎄🎄✨ Mine Has Changed A Bit Over The Years As I’ve Gifted Trees And Been Given More, This Is The Majority, Though There Are A Few Strays Around The House. ♥️ It All Started With The Large One On The Left That Was Given To My Family When I Was A Little Girl, (Our Neighbors Owned A Ceramics Shop) It’s My Favorite Decoration And Is Always The First To Come Out Of Hiding. Every Tree Here Was Either A Gift Or Thrift. Eventually I’d Love To Find A Large White Tree In The Wild ✨✨

Thank You All For The Lovely Comments On My Previous Post About The Thrifted, Donated, And Inherited Jewelry Trees I Made For My Mum And Sisters. I Had One More Tree I Was Working On But Needed A Frame And Found This Sweet Antique Frame At Arc In Broomfield, Co For $1.50! This Is The Fifth Vintage Jewelry Tree For My Eldest Sister 🥰❤️🎄

Found And Left At Goodwill, This Would Be Awesome For A Library

People living in the United States are increasingly finding that stores known for their secondhand goods have been hiking their prices in recent years. As thrifting continues to increase in popularity thanks to social media and TikTok, some shops use the extra attention as a way to increase their profits even more. Or, to put it bluntly, secondhand shopping isn’t so cheap anymore because some businesses got greedy.Goodwill,in particular, with all of its charitable aspirations,has been called outtime and time again on internet forums and in the media for jacking up its prices. Some folks wonder why they should even bother shopping there if mainstream realtors offer cheaper unused clothing.

Found This Sign At An Antique Store In Negaunee, Michigan. It’s Definitely Old, Heavy Brass, And I Have A Lot Of Questions. 😳😄

After Giving Up On Getting A Christmas Tree I Found This At A Local Thrift Store And It’s Brand New! A True Christmas Miracle❤️ It’s My Son’s First Christmas (Where He Knows What Christmas Is) And He Points Out Every Christmas Tree He Sees. I Was At A Thrift Store With Only $50 In My Bank Account And This Was The Last Tree There. He And I Both Love It 🥰

After Work, I Went Into A Goodwill I Don’t Normally Stop In. I Think I Went Because This Toymaker Was Calling Out To Me. I Picked Him Up And Looked Him Over In Awe. He Was Wrapped In Tape, Which I Was Confused By. I Mean, Obviously, I Was Going To Get Him Either Way Because Just Look At Him, But What Was His Purpose? Finally, On The Bottom, I Found A Handwritten Sticker That Explained He Is An Incense Burner. You Lift Him Up Off His Bench And Place A Cone Incense There And His Mouth/Pipe Will Smoke. There Is No Indication Of A Company Or Date This Amazing Object Was Made. I’m Not Sure If He Is Handmade And Unique Or What Era He Is From. All I Know Is This Is The Best $6 I’ve Spent In A Very Long Time. I Haven’t Put An Incense In Him Yet. I Will Update When I Make Sure I Have Cones. Merry Christmas To Me. 💨

I Think I’ve Acquired My Best Thrift Yet From Our Local Town Page😭 I Am Now The Owner Of This Beautiful 1974 Firefly Hot Air Balloon Basket For Free😫😫😫 Edit: Since My Comment Is Buried Amongst Everyone Else’s I Figure I’d Update Here 😊 I Plan To Make A Reading Nook Out Of It And Eventually Make A Stained Glass Globe To Have Over The Top And Place A Light In The Dome. My Oldest Daughter Is Always Reading So It’ll Be Put To Good Use. I Love To Hear All The Suggestions But We Have To Remember These Baskets Aren’t Made To Stay Out In The Elements Especially With Me Living In Wisconsin. The Snow And Rain Isn’t Good For The Wicker And Would Make It More Brittle Over Time. I Want To Keep It In Its Best Condition As Much As Possible💕

I Spoke To The Woman Who Had Put It Out On The Curb, And Her Great Grandmother Had Made The Base That It’s Crookedly Sitting On. She Used To Use It To Store Her Children’s Artwork. Not Sure What I’ll Do With The Very Shallow Drawers, But I’m So Thrilled To Bring This Piece Into My Home

Purchased At Svdp And Embellished By Me To Qualify As W&w

I Am The Proud Owner Of This Macaroni Now 😃 Found On Facebook Marketplace!

I Picked Up This 1930s Velvet, Curved Couch And Matching Club Chair From An Estate Sale In Virginia. It’s Almost Pristine Condition, I Can Tell It Was In Someone’s “Do Not Go In There” Living Room. The Mirror Was The Top Part Of A Giant, Vintage Buffet That Was Destijed For The Dump So I Took It. Cut The Bottom Wood Support Rods Off, Cleaned And Stained It, And Even Hung It Myself ( It Is Huge) Cats Were Secondhand From Spca And From A Guy At A Waterpark. Still Piecing This Room Together With Second Hand Finds

Found This Cool Lamp At Goodwill!

Found For $15 Via Local Marketplace In Philly Suburbs. It’s So Beyond Perfect For My Mom’s House, Which Is Down The Shore. She’s Going To Love Every Detail. The Delighted Little Elves’ Faces, Santa Carrying His Shoes And Putting His Toes In The Sand. It Brings Me Joy Every Time I Look At It, And We Are Sad To Wrap It Up To Give To Her For Christmas! My Kids Are In Love. I Can’t Find Anything About The Artist As I Can’t Quite Make Out The Name. It Was Painted The Year I Was Born, Which Makes It Feel Even More Serendipitous. Happy Holidays!

I Don’t Know What It Is With Me And Fripperous Things That Need To Be De-Fripped. I Almost Walked Right On By This Jewel-Daubed Monstrosity At Goodwill In Waukesha Wi A Few Days Ago, Then I Realized The Hot Glue Crusted Pearls Were Hiding A Solid Brass Mirror. Eunice Marshmallow Needs Another Remove Surface In Which To Admire Her Snowy Toasted Visage, So I Spent Some Time Removing The Frippery, Flimflam, And Foolishness. Add In A Brass Candelabra (Also From Goodwill) And We’re Just About Halfway To A Meatloaf Music Video. At Last , I’ve Done Something To Gain The Cat’s Approval

This Was A Crazy Find Today! I’ve Never Seen Anything Like It. I Loved The Little Corner Table 🥰 Found At The Cleveland Furniture Bank, In Cleveland Oh 🥰 Edit: Yes It Came Home With Me!

I Found This Poor Little Fella Leaned Up Against A Dumpster The Other Day With His Foot Broken On The Ground. My Guilty Conscious Made Me Turn Around And Go Back For Him. I Brought Him Home, Scrubbed Him Head To Toe, Repainted Him, Added A Sealant, And Gave Him A New Lease On Life

About One Year Ago, I Was At A Customers Home Repairing Some Equipment And As I Was About To Leave ,the Customer Asked Me If I Could Help Him Load A Box Into His Car So He Could Take It To Goodwill? I Had To Move The Lid So We Could Pick It Up Because It Weighs Approximately 80 Pounds And It Is Pretty Big, Then He Said Unless You Want It? He Said If You’re Interested, You Can Have It And That Will Save Me A Trip To Goodwill. He Then Told Me He Has Made Several Trips To Goodwill To Drop A Lot Of Other Things That Has Been In Their Storage Since They Were Married, Which Was More Than 50 Years .this Is About 28 Inches Tall, Maybe 2 Feet Long It Is Made Of Bronze, And The Arms Face And Legs Are Made Of Ivory. All I Can Find Out Is It Was  Made By A Romanian Sculptor . It Is Signed, But I Will Have To Get It Out Of The Crate Tomorrow It Was Actually Stored In A Heavy Duty Wooden Moving Crate.  I Paid Nothing For It. I Would Just Like To Know More About It. I Have Had It For A Little Over A Year. 

My Find For Today😁  Brought This Find Up To The Cashier And She Asked Me If It Was Ceramic And I Said No It’s Much Heavier, I Think It’s Something Else, She Asked Me To Look It Up And So We Did A Quick Search At The Register, And Found Out That It Was Italian Hand Carved Alabaster. I Purchased It At The Bargain Center. It Was $8 And I Had A $5 Off Coupon So I Purchased It For $3

I Purchased This Pair Of Unmarked Pink Lamps At A Garage Sale In Champaign, Illinois. They Measure Approx. 27" In Over-All Height And I Would Guesstimate Them To Be Mid Century Lamps. They Have Plaster Chalkware Type Bases With Fiberglass Shades. When I First Saw Them, My Initial Thought Was They Were Cheap And Ugly Enough That I Could Probably Flip Them For A Nice Profit. Now, After Having Them Around The House For A Bit, I Have To Admit That They Are Kind Of Growing On Me, Lol I Think It’s The Shades 🤫🤐😂
