Do you shop at thrift stores? I love them! There are so many treasures to be found. Let me show you a few of my latest finds & how I decorated with them for Spring.

What I Look For

I have my eye out for 2 types of thrift items: 1. Things I can makeover 2. Unique items to decorate my home with.

01. Cool Find

This flower shaped candle holder reminded me of something from Anthropolgie. Had to grab it!

[{"selector":"#anim-da7f3d42-d7d8-48e9-9584-b79ecc42d416 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-7.802197546143168%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] I added the wood flower to a stack of books on an end table in my living room.

Ceramic Basket Planter

Great Thrift Find: 02 This large ceramic planter was $6.49. Good deal! Let me show you how I filled it for Spring.

Rose Arrangement

03 I stopped at Trader Joe's and picked up a bunch of orange spray roses (5.99), St.John's Wort (3.99), & eucalyptus (3.99) See Tutorial

04. Vintage Find

This lovely green bowl and saucer set was just $1.99
