Weekly Features

It's been difficult for us to choose just one feature each. Your vintage finds, vignettes and just plain creativity have been awesome!

Kathleen's Pick

As a thrifting junkie, I had to laugh when I read something written by our friend Lynne of Thrifting Wonderland: "Do you ever get those tingles or feelings that you should go to a particular Thrift Store on a particular day. I get them sometimes and usually it pays off to follow the feeling." Yes! I get these feeling all the time and my family thinks I'm nuts! So glad I'm not alone. She followed her feeling recently and ended up with a gorgeous find. Drop by Mirror, Mirror on the Wall to get a close up of the beauty she found and find out how she restored it.

Cecilia's Pick

Allyson at Southern Sunflowers shared the cutest little thrift store step stool makeover, and I'm loving the Boho vibe she created using stain and a stencil! Drop by to get all the details and see the lovely way she styled it!
