The 16 Best places to Shop for Affordable Home Decor
MY LATEST OBSESSION... lovin these little found beauties ❤
.
Good morning! How is everyone doing? I haven't been able to get out to shop much due to the rainy weather but I'm sure it will change soon, after all it is sunny Southern California!
Before the storm I did manage to put together a nice little haul of some great finds for my home and the shop before the big storm hit. I stumbled upon this large yard sale with tons of goodies spread out all over the back yard, garage and boxes full of wonderful finds! Nothing was marked they just bundled your finds on the way out. I spent hours there "pickin" and went back the second day and picked some more!
I brought home over 48 items for my home and the shop. 10 pieces of pretty handmade pottery and a total of over 28 more items for the shop. But my best find of all was a mid-century modern, designer set of silverware, full and complete that had never been opened or used, which I found hiding in a mid-century modern Tupperware container in mint condition!!!
BEST DAY EVER!

I don't shop for new very often because I prefer vintage unless it is a necessity, except for fabrics which I buy for projects and decor that I make for my home and my Etsy shop.

Yard sales and Estate sales are my favorites because the money goes directly into the hands of the sellers for their needs. I always say hello, tell them they have beautiful things, have a conversation, ask them if they have a story behind the item and tell them thank you when I leave even if there isn't anything there that I wanted.
