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.

I’m drawn to the freegan lifestyle for philosophical rather than financial… Continue Reading
Thrift Store Score: A Vintage Pocketbook
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.
