Don’t knock it until you try it! I never thought I would enjoy thrifting…
I have nothing against garage-saling, thrifting, etc. I’ve bought a few things on Facebook marketplace, typically from someone I know. I’ve tried garage-saling when we had a toddler. I don’t know what my problem was, but I seemed to never find anything, so I gave up!
Mid-May, I made my first trip to a thrift store up north. I never thought I would buy something; and I found a few things! When I was a kid, I used to have a vanity complete with a mirror and stool that came from my Grandma Jane’s house. When we moved, my new room was smaller, and I had to downsize. I found a vanity that needed some TLC at the thrift shop. It was painted baby blue, was missing the glass shelf shelf, and came with round mirror in perfect condition. I liked the drawer pulls on it, I had left over paint from our cabin, so my husband refinished it using the left-over paint. I found a bench (at another store). Said bench was five times as much as the vanity, but it’s all together now and looks great! Now I have something to put in Monty’s old room aside from the dog kennel, when Maisy comes to visit!
Stay tuned for next month’s topic: Painting a bridge.
There’s so much to do, so little time. Bye for now!
