This first thrift store find is a bed frame that my mom gave me for Christmas. My mattress and box springs had been on the floor of my apartment from the day I moved in until a little over a year later.

Thrift Store Finds
Nothing relieves stress for me like shopping. While I love the mall, thrift store shopping allows me to indulge in retail therapy without spending very much. Below are two of my most recent thrift store finds that I think Macklemore would be proud of!

The second find is this Dooney & Bourke purse. Considering that these purses cost several hundred dollars brand new, I was thrilled to snag this one for $20! The zipper was broken when I bought it, but this local store was able to repair it for me at a reasonable price. Do you have any cool thrift store finds? Please share!
