Thrifted and Styled: Vintage Decorated Entry Table

A dark and moody, high-contrast entry display using thrifted and vintage finds!    The best part of being a vintage reseller is getting first dibs on all the cool one-of-a-kind vintage decor I find. The worst part is knowing I can't keep it all and having to be a big girl and let some of the amazing pieces go.  Over the years, I've thrifted , bought, and sold thousands of amazing vintage finds, keeping only a select few that were too unique to sell . Today, I'm sharing some of my favorite recent thrifted and vintage finds that made it to the "keep" pile.  HOW DO I DECIDE WHAT TO KEEP AND WHAT TO SELL Whether I thrift an item or score an incredible deal at an antique mall, I usually know right away if it's something I'm going to sell or keep.  If I'm hesitant and indecisive (which happens often!), I ask myself a few basic questions.  - How rare is the item?  Have I ever come across the item before, and if so, how often?  If it's something I......

Let's Go Thrifting: Thrift Store and Auction Finds Vol. 11

A curated collection of vintage furniture and decor from auctions and thrift stores! It's time for another Let's Go Thrifting post ! Today, I'm rounding up a few auction finds and a variety of thrift store cart shoots filled with vintage brass, pottery planters, milkglass, baskets, glassware, and handpicked vintage clothing and textiles.  Most of my days are spent thrifting or traveling for auction pick-ups in preparation for another Lucketts Spring Market .  I hit the road early and visit multiple stores daily to make traveling worth it.  Two of the most common comments I receive when I share my thrifting finds are... 1. "You always find the best stuff!" 2.  "I don't have thrift stores like yours in my area!" I've shared my favorite thrifting tips and tricks in the past, but wanted to recap a few tips to hopefully help you score great deals too. 1.
