"Virginia has total sage sister vibes, helping you score pieces for a song with tips that are so good, I kind of can't believe she's letting us in on these trade secrets. Vintage shopping can be super-tricky; it's hard to know where to start, how to scout things that look and feel like "you," and what to splurge or save on. With this beautiful and thoughtful book though, you'll feel like you have a field guide for furnishing your best home ever with pre-loved, storied stuff." - Danielle Blundell, Apartment Therapy "A list of Chamlee's own vintage scores is impressive: she picked up a Goyard trunk worth $10,000 for $90, for example. The wealth of resources plus Chamlee's friendly tone makes this a handy one-stop-shop for new thrifters." - Publishers Weekly "Virginia and I both agree that there's enough thrifting to go around. As every vintage hunter knows, sharing thrifting tips can bring good shopping karma. I follow Virginia's shopping escapades on instagram and even though I'm jealous of her one-of-a-kind scores; I love that I can bring a piece of them home in the form of her new book. Big Thrift Energy Is a great guide for experts and newbies alike." -Max Humphrey, Designer, Author of Modern Americana, named one of Country Living's 100 most creative people, "Virginia has total sage sister vibes, helping you score pieces for a song with tips that are so good, I kind of can't believe she's letting us in on these trade secrets.
