Okay, you hooked me. I also love to thrift store shop and find treasure. LOVE your shelf art, that was a great deal! You have a great eye and what a knack for putting things together. I’ll be lingering awhile, blog stalking your posts. Kudos!

I am such a thrifting addict too! When we go to a fleamarket my heart starts beating if my husband needs too much time to find a parking space :)

My best find was an antique globe which is huge, 63 inches. I scored it for 20€ and then found an online antique shop which sold the same last summer for 1600€. But I will never ever give up this baby because it is just soooo pretty...!

Hi Mandi–Just found you through the Homies. Not sure how I haven’t before? Whatever, you had me at “thrift store art warms my heart.” I’m in the group. We’ve written about how we choose thrift store art here: https://www.thissortaoldlife.com/2012/04/16/thrift-store-art/. And, you can see what happens when an addiction to thrift store art gets a little out of control here: https://www.thissortaoldlife.com/2013/01/23/split-entry-gallery-walls-round-2/ 🙂

Good luck with the contest–

Hi Mandi- I have a thrift store art story. I saw an oil painting in a thrift store, vaguely recognized the artist name from a walk through a Martin Lawrence Gallery years ago, and bought it for $15. Had it appraised and it is worth $3900. Can’t find a buyer due to sucky economy, so holding on to it and waiting for better times to sell. Artist is Susan Rios.

Oh, I really miss my fave DI spot! I’m still finding the treasures in Oregon but have had really good luck at one Goodwill location. Those pictures are AH-MAZING!!! I would have died if I’d landed on them.

I voted for you. I’m like your Utah County soul twin, except I don’t have an awesome blog like you have, and I’m just getting started on my house. I do have one room that is “done,” however, and it features the most epic thrift store find of my life- a 5×7 wool Persian Rug that I scored at the AF DI for $15. The tag on the back was disintegrated so I can’t trace its origin, but this thing is legit. The dye quality is unreal.
