  1. I bought a linen top at the thrift shop recently. The one real problem I had with it was that the neck placket has no fastenings and was too long. I didn’t feel like sewing buttonholes or using hooks and eyes.

    My stop gap was to close up the extra with a safety pin behind the placket. When I was satisfied I could put the shirt on without opening the safety pin, I sewed the placket together at that spot. Easy peasy!

  2. Latest thrift store find, a wooden Jerusalem cross. I don't often find a lot of Christian symbols or paraphernalia in Value Village, so this was a nice surprise.

  3. Scored a whole bag of these glow in the dark plastic stars for a buck and a half at the Restore thrift shop. I have a black light in the sunroom, thinking of a ceiling of stars. Any other ideas?

  4. I LOVE browsing (not buying) vinyl records at the thrift store. I hear organs are trendy these days and coincidentally found this cool album. Note the "Audio Quality by AFLP," so it's probably LP AF!

  5. I usually watch the #thriftShops for various elusive objects of desire. One such category is vintage mid-century coffee mugs.

    We breezed through a long-lived antiques mall after lunch (Old Ottawa South) and stumbled across a vintage Fire King D-Handle, in the milk-glass colour I've long sought.

    Yay! So I'm just anointing it with a spot of tea.

  6. acquired a page from the 1957 cosmopolitan magazine featuring audrey hepburn during the promotional tour of funny face. photos by richard avedon. the paper is very delicate, I think I'll get it laminated to be safe.

  7. 📍 segunda mano furniture & decor

    1: blouse I made from colorful filipiniana themed cloth (it's a thin cotton cloth that was very cheap and perfect for the summer).

    2: interior of segunda mano -- this is on the top floor of makati cinema square.

    3: poster of ay, manuela (1976) starring the quizons and alma moreno. they didn't have any horror movie posters.

    4: assortment of postcards, books, stamps, and photos. I did find a 1957 magazine page featuring audrey hepburn.

  8. The One Place on Social Media That Still Feels Human - You could call Facebook Marketplace a digital thrift shop. But that underplays how unique... - nytimes.com/2025/03/18/magazin #socialmedia #thriftshops #facebookinc #e-commerce

  9. Strrrettch! Time to get up and search for the perfect piece!

    Is the rare blue leather jacket hidden in the rack?

    a Barlett for America sweatshirt for the inner political junky in you?

    or that purse, because there is no such thing as too many?

  10. Lainey got a late start to this #caturday we all got to sleep in till 6am, quite a treat!

    It is a beautiful day to be out exploring the city, come visit us and grab some of the new items on the Picks rack!

    Also, we just did a big restock and cleared out thicker fabrics from the dresses, skirts and fem tops racks to make room for those sweet summer items!

    Lainey was totally non-plussed and slept through it all, as usual

  13. I’ve saved all this money finding these espresso devices at absurd thrift store and flea market prices and I’m just going to spend the difference on tiny drinkware.

  16. Another #TwitterMigration so time for another #introduction
    #Healthcare worker. Love #baseball, specifically #Toronto #BlueJays. Tendency to binge TV shows. Currently ripping through #TheBear & #TheWitcher. Love #cooking but tend to fail spectacularly. Spend time between housecalls hitting #thriftshops & feeding my addiction to vintage enamel wear. Looking to follow interesting folks escaping #Twitter. Howdy!

    That also means #ThriftShops have 60% more awesome clothes than 20 years ago. Check them out before buying new.

  18. Love #ThriftShops. I picked up these two signed prints for $9 each. The #artist is Gerard Paraghamian. Don't know anything about him but I liked the familiarity of the images. Any insight into the artist or scene depicted would be appreciated
