I take old vintage wire birdcages and use them to display black and white family photos. Easy to stick the corners through the wires and can be changed frequently and quickly. I display other vintage momentos (baby shoes, rattles, cups, etc. inside the cage. Upcycled one today and even added vintage rhinestone clip earrings and a tiara to it.

I like to look for lamps that are not working. Most are about $10 and I have found a few vintage ones. I clean them up and then get a lighting kit for about $5. 15 minutes later, I have a cool lamp. I just found a cool gold, vintage cherub one at Goodwill for $12...very heavy and great looking once I cleaned it up.

I had silver trays I collected from yard sales (most for $0.25!!) hanging on my dining room wall for years. When we moved 7 years ago, I never unpacked them. This was just the inspiration I needed to unpack them and show them off again. THANKS! ;)

I collage on old frames, and stencil or glue objects (shells, i.e.) onto old flower pots. Actually I will collage on anything. I buy thrift baskets for harvesting in the garden and sending produce home with friends. Also, I look for baby blankets at yard sales - they are usually very cheap - and can be repurposed into a variety of fabric crafts, including dog sweaters. Currently I am

I love my GW!!! Recently I found pieces of my china there. It had been discontinued and I was able to get 15 plates for $19.00!!! I am currently upcycling pants for my daughter who is expecting! Bought the pants and the stretchy shirt and she got a beautiful pair of dress capris for $5.00!!

Had to chuckle at this, Sarah. When I mentioned to one of my sisters-in-law that my husband and I buy the bulk of our wardrobes at thrift stores and about the prices we pay versus retail she got this little sneer and asked us, "yes, but do they carry name brands?" That was about 2 years ago and I still laugh about it today!

You bet I thrift shop! Your tips also apply to yard/garage sales and my favorite, estate sales. It's hard to say what my best thrift shop find has been I've had so many. My husband and I changed to a lifestyle of thrift a few years back when I opened my online vintage shop and we never looked back. He's proud to tell everyone that about 85% of our home is outfitted with previously
