Some of my favorite things I have, have came from a thrift store or garage sale. There’s just something about finding something you love and getting it for a steal that makes it better than shopping at expensive stores, or finding something and fixing it up into something beautiful. Thrift stores and garage sales have become a weekly adventure of mine, I look forward to Summers every year so I can go garage sale-ing. There are several thrift stores around town, too so it’s very convenient (and addicting) to shop them all. Here are some of the great items I have found this year and would love for you to share yours! Just scroll all the way down to add yours.
( I update this page often since I go every week, so be sure to check back often to see what else I have found!)

Hi Marti, Thanks for sharing at the link party! I love thrifting, but here there is only one with deals & its hit or miss. We have a flea market about 45min from us that is awesome when I can get there!
Hope to see you again soon @ DearCreatives.com
Wow, I am so jealous of your thrift store finds! I’ve been scouring our thrift stores for a cake stand to leave desserts on our counter covered and safe from our beastly cat, but no luck! I will just have to keep searching!
Cheers!

I’ve found a couple of cake stands that did not have tops to them and later found cake stand tops sold separately and they just happened to fit so you may have to buy them individually.
Thank you for stopping by!!
Marti
Treasures for sure! We have three thrift shops near here and I’ve found some great buys. Teapots and cups are favorites. White pitchers and napkin rings make me smile!
I love the white teapots! I’d love for you to link up what you find!
Thanks for stopping by!

I have a cake display similar to yours that I bought at an auction across the street after a neighbor passed away for just cents. I also have 17 place settings of the snowman set you have the bowl and plate for. I bought the first 12 complete from a friend (for too much!) but then my Goodwill store started having bits and pieces so I’ve been able to add 5 more place settings, a cream and sugar set, and a candle stick! All for a few dollars!
I’m visiting through Dear Creatives.
I have come across more dishes in that snowman theme from time to time, too….it must have been popular! I would love to have the candle stick!
Thank for stopping by, I would love for you to link up your bargains you come across!
Marti

You found some GREAT finds, love the little cake plate! We just bought a new (old) home and need more “stuff”. I’ve found a couple of thrift stores close and have started looking for things to make my own. Not so great yet but with the weather changing I’m hoping that more people will start “spring cleaning” LOL!!
Good luck with your new home and thrift store shopping! 🙂
Marti
Love, love, love the first photo of this post! Very Scandinavian looking.
Thanks so much! It’s one of my favorite decorations….and getting it all for a bargain made it even sweeter!
