Thrift shopping is not only fun, it is also one of the best things you can do to help the planet. When you repurpose things that would otherwise be sent to a landfill you are performing the ultimate act of recycling. Of course let’s not forget the obvious, adding a unique piece to your home through salvage is also easy on the wallet. Our city has numerous antique stores, vintage shops, Thrift stores, and garage sales which contain a plethora of goodies just waiting for a new home. Here is a guide of a few of my favorite places to score a one of a kind find.
