This Thrift Score Thursday I have something rather shocking to admit, I am a hoarder collector. Yes I know, you are completely surprised by this, but it’s true. I collect silhouettes, West German pottery, globes, lithographs, chairs, paint by numbers and I’m sure a few other things I can’t remember right now. Being a collector is part of what makes thrifting fun. When I see one of those items that I’ve been hunting or would something make a perfect addition to my collection I am so excited. I’m even more excited if I am getting it at an amazing price.
Going trough this months #ThriftScoreThursday feed I realized I’m not the only collector so I thought I’d share a few of these fun collections with you.
But first, let me explain just what #ThriftScoreThursday is in case it’s your fist visit here. We want you to participate! Hit up your local thrift stores, craigslist, yard sales, estate sales, side of the road, anything! Thrifty doesn’t necessarily mean from a thrift store. We want to see your good deals, wacky finds and treasures and how you style them in your home.
Don’t feel like you need to save those finds for Thursdays! Yes, features are shared on our blogs once a month and Instagram weekly on Thursdays, but we’re all checking in on (and using!) the hashtag all week long. So, when you see/find it, feel free to share it! And we love it when you tag your friends to play along, too!
The first Thursday of each month, Brynne from The Gathered Home, Cassie from Cassie Bustamante and I will pick our favorite thrift scores to feature. So please note that by linking up with #ThriftScoreThursday, you are giving us permission to share your finds via social media or on our blogs.
Now for the hoarders collectors…
homewithashley shared these round woven baskets that are full of color and think she may have a thing for colorful woven pillows too.
TheRathProject apparently has a thing for books, and I love how they are displayed, pages out, for a more cohesive look.
greensprucedesigns shared a collection of blue glass vases that look fabulous in the sunshine.
And queen_of_plewtopia has a collection of miniature wicker chairs for her plants. Did I mention I have a thing for chairs? Any size!
These are so much fun. Collect on my friends!
Now don’t forget to check out what my co-hosts have been collecting this month…
i am in love with that colorful yet bright white space from home with ashley! awesome features!
I love seeing a good collection and these are certainly amazing. I’ve always been a fan of shadow cuts. Hey they are black and white so of course I love them.
Of course! Most of mine I bought in Germany but I’m always looking for a new addition.
