Thrift - Reluctance to spend money unnecessarily

As this is our first Thrift Thursday, I thought I would keep this post simple.

Thrift - Reluctance to spend money unnecessarily.

I'm Lucky because..
- I got my favourite red dress when i was 15 from a friend of mine.
- I got my cat, Bing, for free ( he invited himself into this picture).
- My kind of music ( Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby) is always in the $1 box at secondhand record stores.
- Every baby- boomer is throwing away their tapes.
- Classic books are plentiful at the op shop, as are doilies.
- People throw 'ruined' chairs onto their lawns.

I love the second hand, ruined, and unused. It sustainable for our planet, kind to the pocket, and so often lends its self to day dreaming of other times.

Keep a lookout next Thursday for a project using our thrifting philosophy.

  1. Sounds like a great philosophy to me! It is amazing what people throw away and what can be found in op shops. :)
