thrifting

^^^today's finds

 

One of my passions/stress relievers/hobbies is collecting old junk people give away. I am a firm believer that sorting through odd objects all day, only to find a few valuable items, is one of the best ways to calm down after a stressful or lonely week. Thus, you lovely readers should expect similar posts to this one. {However, a common misunderstanding about secondhand shopping is that everything you find is vintage. FALSE. Not all my finds are more than a few decades old, some could hardly be a year old.}

 

More importantly, I would consider today's trip successful. I found a vintage stationary bike for $8 that I cleaned & lubricated & it is now at home in my room. This is truly wonderful because

1. I like vintage things

2. It matches my furniture {expect a post about my room soon}

3. i love biking

4. Working out is also a good stress reliever.

 

I also discovered a floral make up bag, a dark brown leather purse, a green case for my glasses {which I'm expecting to arrive next week--expect a post}, & two pairs of sandals that are practically new.

 

To think people actually gave these items away! But hey, I'm not complaining.
