Vintage salvage

| 9 Comments

I love thrifting and I especially love vintage. You can't beat a great one-of-a-kind piece for a bargain; it just makes all the empty-handed trips worth it. It gives me an extra kick when I can save something, re-purpose or mend it. On my latest find those darning skills proved helpful.
