Oh The Fairy Tale of Thrift shopping. Thrifting can be a bit of a cinderella story due to the revamping involved with bringing life back to items that may or may not have been cared for very well or may not look like much to begin with. Yet, you can still see this item being transformed and brought back to life.

However, just before making any purchase of anything pre-loved or secondhand. I can’t help but to be forced to think of the potential of certain vintage items, especially for certain items that haven’t been cared for very well or has been around for many years. However, it just seems to work for certain items as well. At times the wear and tear of these items adds a rustic touch, a almost weathered feeling. I mean, after all life adds character and beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
