Thrifting

If you happened to be a member of my family or a very close family friend you know that thrifting is a big part of our life. We (as in My mom, sister Terry, nieces Meghan and Erin and my son Noah) love thrifting. Whether it be a thrift store, flea market or yard sale we love the thrill of finding that awesome deal and let me tell you we find them. My sister and my mom are the queens of finding the deals and my sister has a way of seeing things most people would pass up. I get lucky now and then and yesterday Noah found a set of hand carved owl bookends and a CD holder (without the CD of coures) at The Salvation Army in Gilroy. One persons junk is another persons treasure....so the saying goes.
My siblings and I were raised going to thrift stores, flea markets and yard sales. My mom has always had a passion for antiques infact 99% of hers came from one of those places. To this day she would rather go to a thrift store then a mall and I can't say that I blame her.

  1. It is indeed in our blood! Give me a thrift store anyday. All I ever need is a thrift, a grocery store, and Kohls (gifts and sales!)
