I once scored a sweet, large-scale Millenium Falcon for my son! I love seeing items repurposed for a higher purpose.

One of my favorite things about our Thrift Markets is the book section. I've bought several for me and my kids, It's cool to see the wide variety of books that we get donated.

My favorite find was a photo of Soldier Field from 1985! I am a huge Chicago Bears fan so I immediately needed to buy it.

I thrift with my wife - she's the pro. I love when she sets me on a mission for a specific item - it's a treasure hunt, and you find some pretty cool stuff you can't find anywhere else!

My favorite thrift find is a vintage wall hanging identical to one my best friend has, we live in different states, so having it in my home makes me feel like we're not so far apart!

With thrifting the possibilities are endless. You never know what you'll find walking through those doors. A toy from childhood, a trendy shirt, or the people you meet.
