Thrift Flip
Words & Photos by Susan Snow
Thrifting isn’t a new thing, but it’s become the latest craze, with social media groups and websites dedicated to finding that fantastic deal.
A set of glass candle holders can be displayed anywhere in your home. From tabletops to coffee tables, on wall shelves, mantels or beside a soaking tub, the possibilities are endless. Six dollars for the pair.
R ecently, I took on the challenge to see what goodies I could find for a minimal budget. With a total investment of only fifty-nine dollars, I took home an assortment of lovely pieces that only needed a little clean-up to make them good as new. My tip: look for things that are first and foremost useful, in great condition, decorative and above all, they must be classic pieces that will stand the test of time. My personal favourites are hardcover books, vases, fabrics, candle holders and dishes. These are pieces that can easily transition into any décor.
