Well, this was a first! 😳💀

You never know what you’re going to find digging through the Goodwill Bins, but this one definitely caught me off guard!

What looked like an innocent little wooden box turned out to be a former pet cremation urn.

I’ve found some unusual things while thrifting, but this might be one of the strangest!

Now I need to know… would you have brought this home or put it right back?! 😂

🎃 How cute are these?

These fun pumpkin face luminaries are made from repurposed vintage cheese graters — which makes them even better.

Each one has been painted and transformed into the cutest little fall luminary. Add a tealight and the pumpkin face glows through the openings.

Perfect for a fall kitchen display, shelf, or mixed in with your favorite vintage Halloween décor.

Available in orange or cream.

Which would you pick — orange or cream?

One of my favorite vintage finds from our trip to Italy 🇮🇹

I visited 5 or 6 vintage shops while we were in Florence, and while they were fun to browse, most were pretty expensive.

Then I stumbled across this little gem called Humana Vintage Firenze. It a popular second-hand and vintage clothing store located at Via delle Belle Donne, 4/6R in Florence, Italy.

Two floors packed with vintage clothing, bags, purses and shoes — lots of shoppers — and prices that were actually reasonable! 🙌

Of course, I couldn’t leave empty-handed. I found a beautiful Made in Italy leather purse that ended up being one of my favorite souvenirs from the entire trip.

I’ll take a vintage find as a souvenir over something from a gift shop any day.

Anyone else search for vintage shops when they travel?

Some vintage pieces are definitely not meant to blend in. 🐘

This vintage brass elephant stands about 8.5” tall and has such a great presence — from the raised trunk to the detailed saddle and beautifully aged brass finish.

I love pieces like this because they instantly add character to a bookshelf, mantel, console table or collected brass display.

It’s now available in my Etsy shop.

Would you style this on a bookshelf, mantel or entry table?

Sometimes the best vintage pieces are the ones you use completely differently than intended.

This little Vollrath stainless steel serving pot started life as commercial restaurant or hospitality ware, but I couldn’t resist filling it with a few fresh flowers.

The hinged lid, tiny curved spout and well-loved stainless finish give it so much character — and at only 3” tall, it makes the sweetest little bud vase for a kitchen shelf, windowsill or table.

It’s now available in my Etsy shop.

How would you use it?

I gave an old tea towel a new life.

I found this sweet piece of vintage embroidered tea towel and thought the handwork was just too pretty to stay tucked away in a drawer.

So I salvaged the embroidered section and paired it with a vintage wood frame — and now it’s a one-of-a-kind little piece of textile art.

I love being able to reuse pieces of the past in a completely new way.

It’s now available in my Etsy shop, but I’m curious…

Would you have framed it too?

Old wood + vintage letters = my newest obsession.

I’ve been giving these authentic vintage sign letters, numbers & symbols a new life by mounting them on pieces of reclaimed and salvaged wood — and I LOVE how each one turned out.

Every scratch, chip, worn edge and bit of patina was left just as I found it. No two are alike.

If you love vintage, The Vermilion Beach Market needs to be on your list!

I spent the day wandering through booth after booth filled with vintage, antiques, home decor and so many one-of-a-kind finds. This is definitely my kind of shopping!

So many great vendors and beautifully styled spaces — I could have brought home WAY more than I did.

Already looking forward to the next one!

Have you ever been to The Vermilion Beach Market? What’s your favorite Ohio vintage market?

Vintage lovers — add this one to your list!

I stopped into A Step Back in Time in Chillicothe, Ohio and found the cutest little vintage shop filled with so many great pieces — and the prices were incredible!

This is exactly the kind of place I love finding… charming, affordable and full of treasures you actually want to take home. ❤️

They also have another location in Waverly with 32 vendors, so obviously that one is going on my list too!

I’ll definitely be back to the Chillicothe shop.

If you love antiquing, you need to add the Chillicothe Antique Emporium to your list!

I wasn’t expecting it to be this much fun. It’s three floors packed with vintage treasures, antiques, and collectibles—and there’s so much more than shopping.

🎮 Working vintage arcade games and pinball machines (perfect if someone in your group isn’t as excited about antiques 😉)
☕ Coffee
🍦 Ice cream
🍺 B**r
🍕 Small bites
🥤 A cozy sit-down bar area to relax between browsing

It’s the kind of place where you can easily spend a few hours exploring.

Have you ever been to the Chillicothe Antique Emporium?
