Thrifting with Farm Fresh

Well, what better way to kick off 2020 then with a Thrifting Challenge!

It’s no secret that I love to search for treasures among the thrift stores and antique stores.  Basically, that is how my house is decorated!!  Almost every piece has a story and I probably bought 90% of things second hand.  Wait, maybe closer to 95%….as I look around 😉

There are a few reasons why I love searching second hand for things for my home.  I love getting out and trying to find the treasures among all the crazy things you find on the shelves or at the yard sales.  You might find 20 awesome things or you might find zero.  You just never know!

I also really like the idea that these items are given a second chance, they haven’t made their way into the landfill to pollute our earth.  And if I’m finding the items second-hand, then it means I’m not buying something new, something that had to be processed, shipped and packaged.   I realize that it probably makes a teeny tiny impact, but it’s something and if we each do something little, it all adds up, right?

Now, I’m not one to buy a lot of clothes for myself second hand.  I hate clothes shopping on a good day.  So, I tend to find it very frustrating to shop second hand for my clothes.  If there is anyone out there willing to lend a hand and teach me how to do it, by all means, reach out!   The girls are much easier to clothe with hand-me-downs and they tend to always find great things second hand.

So, who wants to join me for a $20 Thrift store Challenge?  We have done this in the past and had great fun doing it!  You can read past posts about it HERE, HERE, HERE and HERE.  {Look how young I was in that last post – say what??? That seems like forever ago!! }

What do you do?  Take a picture of you holding your $20, send it to me….then SHOP!  And send me pictures of you with your treasures!  If you are posting any pictures on the socials, tag me and use the hashtag #thriftingwithfarmfresh and I’ll share them, too!  I have discovered new places to go hunt for treasures thanks to this challenge last year!  Let’s give ourselves a month to hunt – we’ll do a wrap up the first week of February so send those pictures to me!

Hope you’ll join us!!  Let me know if you’re in!

Warmly,

Lori
