Thrifty Finds

I think you know by now how much thrifting is a part of our way of life as much as anything else around here. Apart from the ecological reasons to reuse things still with life, there is the strong aesthetic reason to thrift too. My choice in decor has always been mid-century, and I love anything that reminds me of my childhood and my nana. It makes good sense to buy 'the real thing' rather than a replica. I have written about that before here.

I like to think of thrifting as modern-day 'treasure hunting' - never knowing what's out there, hoping to find something that makes your heart pitter patter, and sometimes, if you're very lucky, to find something that you've been looking for!

I can count on one hand (literally) the amount of things in our house that have been bought new. Most things in our home have been pre-loved, and it's the sense of carrying that story over into a new chapter that really makes me love thrifting most of all.


























And the pyrex! Oh I'm ashamed to admit to how much pyrex lays hidden in my cupboards.

But whether it's ornamental, functional or decorative I'm genuinely happy at how ecclectic our home has become; a little haven for all 'forsaken souls' and, of course, a lot of financial gain for us!



So how about you? What treasures have you found recently?
