Going thrift shopping at a nonprofit thrift store in Destin, FL is a wonderful way to find unique items at more affordable prices. Thrift stores are often filled with “hidden gems” that are hard to find anywhere else.

Collectible dishware

You can sometimes find collectible dishware such as mugs, cups, plates, or even vintage Pyrex glassware on thrift store shelves. Start searching your local thrift store to start building a collection of mix-and-match dishware to brighten up your kitchen.

Canning jars

Vintage and antique canning jars are another great thrift store find. These jars come in a wide variety of sizes and colors and can be easily repurposed for storage, drinkware, or decoration. For a simple DIY project, paint the inside of a canning jar and use it as a charming country-style flower vase.

Books

Are you an avid reader? You can often find your next read at a more affordable price by shopping at a thrift store! Vintage books also make great home decor for your coffee table, bookshelf, or china cabinet.

Decorative frames

Store-bought frames can be fairly expensive, but many thrift stores are filled with beautiful frames at more budget-friendly prices. You can easily give older frames a refresh by painting them with spray paint and create a home gallery for your photographs or artwork.

Stylish accessories

If you’re on the hunt for one-of-a-kind fashion accessories, look no further than your nearest thrift store! Be on the lookout for pins, sunglasses, hats, jewelry, belts, and shoes to complement your style.

The best part of thrift shopping is the thrill of the hunt!

At its most basic, the word “sustainable” means something can be maintained at its current rate or level. It can be applied to business: Can a company keep going while earning the same amount of money? It can be applied to the way you’re living your life. You’ve probably been admonished at least once by a well-meaning friend about your packed schedule, poor sleeping habits, or workload. “You just can’t keep going like this. It’s not sustainable.”  The same could be said for how we’re treating the planet, and how we make our fashion. We can’t keep going like this. It’s not sustainable.  We’re pullin...

    Many of us are aware of the Rana plaza collapse in 2013 that killed nearly 1,134 people. The collapse brought the working conditions in ‘fast fashion’ factories to the attention of the global media. The wages and working conditions for the people making our clothes are some of the biggest motivating factors to shop more ethically. However, another important ethical issue we need to consider is the environmental impact of our garments. We need to consider our carbon footprint.
