Thrifty Finds

I don't have room in my home to start making collections of thrifted objects, but I am always happy to add to my collection of books.  So my form of thrifting is to go to secondhand bookshops.

Yesterday, I was thrilled to get these 5 books for $13.50!


I'm pretty sure I will love all these books! Her Fearful Symmetry and Jasper Jones have been on my 'to find' list for awhile, The Hunter is a book about searching for the Tasmanian Tiger, Amy Tan and Paullina Simons are authors I have read before and really loved. So I'm stoked about these finds!

What do you search for in second-hand shops?

I'm playing along with Sophie at Her Library Adventures where everyone shares their Flea Market Finds.


Go and have a look!

Thrifted Finds

Yesterday we went along to the Capricorn Festival, for a little adventure. There were lots of cute little stalls and a Senior Citz stall, where they were selling trinkets, books, and homewares
at thrify prices.

I saw this mirror and the cogs in my head went into overdrive thinking how I could upcycle it. Actually the angle of this photo makes it look like the bigger scrolls at the top and bottom don't line up,
but they do!

I'm going to paint the frame black and replace the mirror with a print. (Don't know when, I'll get back to you on that one!) 


So today I'm playing along with Sophie's Flea Market Finds at Her Library Adventures for the first time! Come and see what else people have been finding on their thrifting adventures!
