Perfect For Spring Thrifted & Styled Decor

Well, I was hoping the weather would improve but alas it's snowed and the temperature is chilly! So I have been thrifting for items to makeover the front porch.........eventually.
In the meantime I havre a great thrift video and have made over a couple of pieces for my home including some items for the porch.
I hope you enjoy the video and the few thing I have picked up, tell me what you think of the curtains.Have a great week see you next time.

Thrift store prices here are crazy. I'm finding antique stores can sometimes beat the price of a thrift store and you get the real deal . Love the toilet paper holder.

Yes you are absolutely right. It’s a sad sign of the times 👍

I vote to keep the toile and shorten the lace curtains. Looks lovely and you got such a good deal on them for $3. Really like the egg covered jars for Easter. Such a cute idea.

Lynsey, this is a tough time of year, buying groceries is exhausting, prices just on regular basics items seem to rise like the Tide, I live near the beach of the Atlantic Ocean 😎. Thrifting has become a natural activity for us, but the prices have gone through the roof, it all depends how hungry I am to bring home that Treasure. I find antique malls are filled with goodies, you need to know stuff, and study your Reference Books. I often to go new antique malls, check out their prices and see what items are trending. Your toile curtains are perfect, long or short they work!👏🎉👏🎉 Looking forward to seeing your front porch make over, you have magical hands. Bags still packed for 🇫🇷, we will go off to your back walled garden and remove the old/dead brush to prepare for your new wonderful view from your kitchen 😁❤️😁❤️🇫🇷

Yes, prices at most of the thrift stores I used to shop at have gone out of control! In a really short span of time the thrifting craze has just exploded. I’m skipping all Goodwills, even the Suncoast Humane Society stores that I used to love.. I continue to search for smaller out of the way thrift stores and do shop more at real antique stores where I have come across some treasures! I am much more selective of what I buy now. I love your shorter toile curtains and the old TP holder 👍🏻🕊️

[@lynseysrecycledbliss1111]

I think we are all in agreement about the prices. I wish we had goodwill bins they seem to be the only places where the bargains are to be found. At least it may give the antique stores a boost 😊

Yes, the prices in thrift shops are ridiculous. These days, I only go to church thrift shops (and even they are getting pricey). It's yard and rummage sales for me, and they won't start in my neck of the woods until May (through early Oct). Love the Toile curtains. I've been saving my jars as I'm trying not to use plastic for leftovers. Now to get rid of all that Tupperware.

I’m finding we don’t get many garage sales in my neck of the woods. 😞I miss them

Hi Friend, I understand the flustration at the thrift stores and sometimes at yard sales prieces. The ship book end/ door stop are awesome! , but I agree the prices was out there. I probably would have picked up the wooden trinket boxes if the prices was reasonable. Cardinals were a great find Lynsey. Love the curtains, very nice. Great price! I think you should kept the trill curtains. I really enjoyed the Easter treat jar for the Grandkids, Lynsey, Thank You.

Thrifting is a new game, I still think we’ll do well as it is our passion/ but all of older thrifters are adjusting to the stacked deck. Elizabeth

[@erin.v.m657]

I read an article the other day about how real estate agents are telling people selling their homes to remove the antiques. Apparently it's a "downer" for potential buyers. And though I'm not sure of your age, the fact that we're both watching this content tells me a little of your taste. Thrifting has become much more expensive lately, but younger people just aren't typically buying what we want. And most people don't know the value of Spode or William Morris. I think we'll be okay eventually and it will balance out. And look on the bright side, what the youngsters leave behind at the thrift stores is ours to keep. 😺

You are absolutely right. I hope the prices adjust eventually ………but I doubt it 😞

I agree that prices have got a bit ridiculous but it makes it all the more fun to find the bargains that have slipped through the cracks at the larger thrift stores. I often find things more reasonably priced at the small non-profit shops that benefit charities like hospice or animal rescue, as they are staffed by volunteers & are not as popular with "pickers" & antique dealers (nothing against them---they're making a living & I'm just having fun!) b/c it takes too much time to visit all the small thrift stores. Like you, I'm trying to be good. But oh it is so very difficult to do!!

THRIFTERS UNIT!!! Hi Lynsey and no, you are definitely not overreacting to the high prices you are seeing in the thrift stores. We live in the US and it is appalling how high these prices are these days. After all, they are NOT paying for my time, energy or gas to deliver these items to their doorstep. They are getting FREE inventory after all!! Will someone please tell The Good Will that they are NOT and never have been an antique store. Glad they are for charity but they are now biting the hand that literally feeds them. I'll be glad to donate to an organization who will pick up my unwanted items at the end of my driveway and I'll save on gas that way too! The sooner we all stop donating to the thrift stores they will hopefully get the message. When you can buy new items for the same price why buy used??? The prices you were showing were way higher then I would ever pay. $13.99 for those pictures and it looked like they had mold dots on the mats. Thanks for brining this up bc we all see it here too.
