8 of My Best Curbside Finds

October 23, 2021 By Sage 11 Comments

Shopping the Curb

Traditional retail therapy has never been my jam. Then lockdown brought my secondhand shopping to a screeching halt—because non-essential. So I followed the goose into the freegan lifestyle. Freeganism is an alternative lifestyle based on minimal consumption of resources and limited participation in the conventional economy. I’m drawn to the freegan lifestyle for philosophical rather than financial… Continue Reading

Thrift Store Score: A Vintage Pocketbook

March 15, 2018 By Sage 4 Comments

Best Thrift Store Finds Ever

One of my best thrift store finds ever (in Denmark)! I haven’t used the word “pocketbook” since I moved out of my grandmother’s house many moons ago, but somehow, “pocketbook” just seems more appropriate than “purse” or handbag” in this case. In Aarhus, my chances of encountering some of my lifetime best thrift store finds… Continue Reading

My Latest Thrift Shopping Finds

Thrift Shopping Finds

Awesome thrift shopping finds are one of my all-time favorite things! My favorites are charity-run thrift shops where you decide to pop in spur of the moment and happen to come across the most perfectly patinated thrift shopping finds for ridiculous prices, like this poncho, change purse, work bag, shoes, ’60s electric curlers, vintage camera, vintage vanity… Continue Reading

If you follow me on Instagram, you’ve probably already seen this vintage 1960s ceiling lamp. I found it in a dusty corner of a junk shop, and it inspired the design of my small space living dining room.  A Reclaimed 1960s Ceiling Lamp It was filthy, cracked, and in need of a new cord, but I… Continue Reading

Thrifted Change Purse

November 9, 2014 By Sage 2 Comments

Just because I haven’t posted a lot of secondhand treasures lately doesn’t mean I’ve lost my love of treasure hunting. Scoring an awesome thrift shop deal will always excite me far more than some fancy new something or other :) Fabulous finds are tougher to come by in Aarhus where there are more people shopping,… Continue Reading

Thrifted Work Bag

April 6, 2014 By Sage 1 Comment

I’d been wanting to replace the tired 8 year old pink backpack I was using to carry my laptop, etc. to and from the office, but I wasn’t finding anything that seemed worth its price.  I don’t place a high priority on work bags, but I was really getting tired of that backpack! Then one… Continue Reading

Another Thrifted Coat

July 22, 2013 By Sage 3 Comments

I’m of the opinion that a lady can never have too many dresses, or too many coats.  The coat bit is especially true when the lady lives in Denmark, where coats are practically a year round necessity. To me, the right coat is as important as the right shoes!  I have no tolerance for ugly… Continue Reading

Once upon a time, I had the chance to move to the happiest country in the world!

My restless Aries spirit liked that idea, so I did what any girl in my position would do… I grabbed my cat, booked a one-way ticket to Denmark, and became an expat!
