Rural vs. Urban Thrifting

Hey everyone, it’s me checking in after a quick thrift run at the rural Goodwill just outside Grand Rapids. I started there and found three 1970s ice buckets in classic harvest colors—perfect for anyone building a retro bar setup. Added a solid soup mug and a set of small salt-and-pepper shakers that fit right into that cozy kitchen look.

Next stop was Legacy Thrift, which used to be my scrapbook store years ago, so walking in brought back a lot of memories. The standout pieces: a pair of milk-glass bud vases, a driftwood lake sign, a stained-glass panel, a polished brass bowl, a carved wooden accent, and a framed vintage photo of a boy and girl. Most of this is headed to my booth at Changing Thymes, with extras listed on Etsy for the cottagecore and French-country crowd.

Let me know in the comments what you’ve found lately.
