Second Hand Love

So, you should know by now, that I kinda have a thing for second hand.  (Don't cringe, you have it too, right?!!)  Well all things garage sale, and thrift store are my friends.  Remember I got this coat at this garage sale over the summer...

Remember the fact that it was FREE because it had a small tear on the side (which took 2 mins to sew)...


Well I have made good use of this coat this winter...


(Me, Sister in law- Meg, Sister- Angela- she never poses normal!! Sister- Shawna)

2nd garage sale find... $2 (she said she hardly wore it and I believe her, it's so shiny still)


This coat has been my friend in the -25 C (-13 F) weather we have been having lately!

This picture was obviously taken when it was warmer out (way back in September!!)


Second hand can be your friend!  It sure is mine!

2 coats = $2 = sweet deal!

Happy Day!

    That is a great idea!!! I LOVE how its looks on your dresser.
    I have some odd thing that I found somewhere. Not to sure what it is but its a stand with swirls that act as hooks for my earrings. So it works and I don't question its past. haha!

    I am all about the secondhand love. My home is filled with it. From free lamps to a great hoosier cabinet found at an auction for dirt cheap. With a little help from my bestfriend paint I've really been able to make my house a home with secondhand finds.
    I haven't really gotten into the secondhand clothing yet but I your coat finds inspire me.
