I actually get a lot of things at thrift stores!
A lot of my clothes are secondhand or thrifted. I don't really care if my clothes are new or not, and some of the things you can find in thrift stores are really cool. I've gotten a few suit jackets for like $5. I get a lot of my clothes secondhand online too. Poshmark and Mercari are good for gently used clothes.
I love used bookstores! I have hundreds of books and a lot of them I got for about $3 to $5. My favorite is a brand new dog show book, signed by the author, that I got for $1.99 at Goodwill. The cashier had no idea how much it was actually worth lol... it didn't have a price tag so he was like "I'll give it to you for $1.99." It retails for $75!
It's on my bookshelf right now. I'll post a picture of it at some point. It's one of my very favorite books. And I found it completely by accident... it's definitely my best random find.
I collect dog figurines, which I've mentioned on here often. I've found a lot of cool ones at thrift stores.
There's one that I currently have that I'm going to repaint... he's supposed to be a Dalmatian, but it isn't accurate to a Dalmatian and everything about him looks more like a Pointer. So I'm going to paint him to look like my Pointer.
I have a lot of vintage Pointer figures in my collection now lol. I've posted some of Mr. Lemon Pointer, who is my favorite. I got him at an online thrift store.
My living room has kind of a vintage farmhouse theme so I have a lot of antiques in there that I have thrifted. I have a vintage dog tapestry above my TV... yes, also a Pointer. You'd never know that Dogo Argentinos are actually my favorite breed lol. But I have become the Crazy Pointer Lady.
And once again, I've just rambled about dogs
But you'd be surprised by how many cool vintage dog collectibles you can get in thrift shops.
I have gotten a few music boxes too, which I've posted a video of somewhere on here. My favorite one plays Silent Night, and I have it out all year round, even though it's technically a Christmas decoration lol.
So yeah, I love thrift stores!!
