One of the recent requests for what you’d like to see here on the blog, was for me to share some of my thrift finds. I haven’t thought to share thrift finds in a long time! We visit a couple thrift stores every week during our errand days. It’s fun and relaxing for us, and we love the hunt for who-knows-what. I will start to share now and then…

Some things we found this past week… A woven grass bag with leather straps, some leather scraps, a leather medicine ball, a linen Athleta skirt, a pair of new (still in the package!) tights in an awesome shade of teal blue/green, a herringbone wool hat for the gentleman (ooh, so handsome in the hat), and maybe the best find – a didgeridoo. I used to be pretty great with the didgeridoo, and am excited to have one around again. It’s an incredible exercise of the breath, and the combination of sounds it creates and the breath work it requires creates a unique, meditative, and slightly altered state.

Do you like to go thrifting? That almost seems like  a silly question. I mean, EVERYone must love thrifting, right? I know a few people who just don’t have the interest or patience for it though.

Me, I just can’t imagine life without thrift stores.

    Yay for thrifting! I go every week! You never know what you will find. I try to stick to a list of things I need, but it’s hard sometimes. At least it’s cheap and good for the community/earth. Great finds! Love that bag.

    I, too, love me some thrift shopping! Nova Scotia is home to Frenchy’s, a primarily clothing thrift store. I usually pop in at least once a week. But I must say, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a didgeridoo. And I think it’s especially awesome that you know how to play it! Fate, I’m sure. 🙂
