Thrift Shopping

I love thrift shopping. 
Some people cringe at the idea of using old things. They think it's icky because the stuff is used. 
I think that is what makes it so interesting. The stuff you buy at thrift stores is timeworn. It's already been somewhere. These objects have history. They are antiquities from another life.


Red floral dress; thrifted from Garage
Red Sweater; Thrifted from SmartSet 
Book; Masterpieces of Fantasy and Enchantment by: Nelson Doubleday
Book: (Oxford Edition) Poetical Works of Robert Bridges

Green Dress; Thrifted from Ardenes
In a few weeks I will see the Ocean for the first time! I saw these two beakers at the thrift store for 25cents each and thought they were the perfect vessel to store my souvenir of the ocean on my book-shelf. 

Blue Top; Thrifted from NewYork
Blue Flannel Shirt: Thrifted from George. I love getting comfy flannel shirts to wear over my clothes when I'm painting. Soon this one too will be covered in paint!
