Roughly eighty or so percent of my closet comes from some kind of thrift or second hand store. I go thrift store shopping almost every week (usually Wednesdays because it tends to be the universal "half off" day at many thrift stores).
It has become such second nature to me that thrift stores are a great way to get quirky clothing at a bargain price, but I recently had an epiphany that there's no reason that I can't find wonderful items for the home (and my New York apartment in less than a year) at my favorite thrift stores!
Here's a gem I found. So beautiful and dirt cheap!! $11 for both the chair and the pillow :)
I recently stumbled upon the best second hand store named Thrift Nation with one of my good friends. We fell in love with the vintage treasures (like the shabby chic chair seen above) and more importantly the wonderful mission the owners have dedicated themselves to with this thrift store.
Thrift Nation has made a commitment to sell all of their items at below market prices so that they are affordable to all who come looking for items, but they also give
all of their profits to those in need. Thrift Nation splits their profits between two foundations. The first is the
Love and Hope Children's Home, a foundation dedicated to helping children in El Salvador. And the second,
Juna Amagara, an organization which provides children in Uganda
with safe shelter, quality education, balanced nutrition, health education and vocational training.
-xoxo.
