Thrifting!!
Thrifting is by far one of my favorite things so do! There is nothing better than being immersed in treasures from the past! Looking at a piece of art and asking yourself, “How can I use this?” How can I repurpose this?”
I have to admit, there are two other reasons why I love thrifting. One – the price is always amazing!!! and Two – very rarely do other people, today, have it!
When you purchase something at a thrift store you receive the automatic ok, to use the piece for something other than what it is designed for! This is when you can be creative! I found this copper bread box at a local flea market, and fell in love with it. I knew I had to have it.
Now, thrifting is always a better experience when you go with someone else! This time I had a dear friend with me and he quickly informed me that there was a canister set in copper that would go great with my new found copper bread box and that I had to get it! It’s a good thing I let him talk me into getting it because I love my new copper pieces!
You may be thinking – Is that a bread box and canister set in a bathroom? Well your answer is, Yes! Remember I said, that thrifting gives you the automatic ok, to use a piece for something other than what it is designed for, well this is exactly what I did!

The sugar canister fits perfectly inside of the flour and holds my tissues, while the tea canister holds my makeup brushes and such!
The bread box holds the necessities of makeup, face wash, and lip balm!

Such a fun purchase and a great design for my bathroom!
