My thrifting trip yesterday with Amy and Laura (of
Thrifting Through Life) was a blast! On Long Island we simply do not have the same type of cheap, widely stocked thrift stores like I see here in Pennsylvania! (**If you live on Long Island and know of a really great thrift store, please share!! There are a few, but I feel that it is a huge hit or miss.)
We started out at Blue Mountain, where I bought red spectator oxford pumps, a record, a cute blue houndstooth halter top, and some fabric for a future project.
Then we hit some antique stores in Annville. I invested in a jewelry box that needs a little bit of love to be beautiful, and I also bought a rustic wooden box that was apparently used to dry cigars. It has tray drawers which I will be fixing up, lining with velvet, and using for my jewelry/beading supplies as well! I absolutely love finding random old items that I will use in a future craft project.

We checked out two other thrift stores: American Vintage and Jubilee. I got a dress that needs a lot of serious help at American Vintage, but I fell in love with the style, so I asked for a good price. I also got a really nice blue wrap dress from Jubilee! It was a great day of thrifting!
Today we took lots of photos today which I cannot wait to share!

Thrift shopping is fun, but you have to have lots of energy. It is definitely rewarding when you find that magical piece for such a great deal. :)
