Tumblr. Ten Steps for Boosting Your Creativity. Elsie's Thrift Tips. My sister, Emma, and I started thrifting together when I got my drivers license in high school. There are several shops in our town that stay open until 9PM, so that is what we would do for fun several times a week.

With absolutely no knowledge of vintage we collected dresses and accessories from the decades that we loved, the 1950s-1970s. We also collected little boys cartoon t-shirts from the 1980s and a pretty sweet collection of "hope chest" items like fondue pots and retro coffee mugs. We started thrifting because it was a way to be unique (something very important to our high-school-selves) and a way to stretch the small budget we had for clothing. Fast forward ten years and we still love thrifting. We might not collect polyester jumpsuits anymore, but we still love fashion from the mid-century and we still get a thrill out of finding a great treasure for $2! Here are a few tips that I've picked up along the way... Thrifting can be overwhelming when you start out. You're everything I need. That's the thing about letting old lovers go.You don't stop loving some of them.There are a couple that you love no less than you did.You're not going to try and make it work again,but if they needed you, you'd drop everything.

This town is just too small for us to really say goodbye. --“This Is Me You’re Talking To” by Trisha Yearwood Because you're young,you're torn between a world of hate and a world of dreams.So much to lose, so much to gain, so much to fight for, so much to change. Nothing is a waste of time if you have a memory of it,but forgetting, that's when your time is lost. The unreal is more powerful than the real,because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it.Because it's only intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last.Stone crumbles. We crossed the deepest oceans,Cargo across the sea,And if you don't believe me,Just put your hands on me,And all the constellations,Shine down for us to see,And if you don't believe me,Just put your hands on me.

Give me love.
