  • Awesome book!, chocked full of great suggestions!!’

    Awesome book! Love the references to actual thrift store and flea market finds. Very inspirational for a thrifter like me and others that enjoy going back day after day to our favorite hunts. I’ve been referring back to this book since the day it arrived and only wish there were more resources like this one. Thanks to this book, I’ve figured out how to display all of my teacups!!!

  • Great decorating ideas!

    I had this book before and gave it to my sister. I was able to find it on Ebay for half the price I paid for it last time (also on ebay) and a quarter of the retail price. It was a great deal as the book is in excellent condition and such an enjoyable book.
