About “Thrifting with the Gals”
“Thrifting with the Gals” started with friends who met on Instagram and formed a special relationship through a mutual love of home decorating. We share a passion for all things vintage, thrifty, and cozy.
Today, we continue our monthly blog series “Thrifting with the Gals” on the third Thursday of each month. In this series, we share our finds, tips, tricks, and home decorations from around the country, along with one featured guest host. You may sign up here for Dabbling & Decorating and never miss a post.
Our styles are all unique, from Kristin’s log cabin in the Northwoods of Wisconsin, Rachel’s farmhouse in North Carolina, Robyn’s beautiful French Nest in Florida, Lora’s thrifted home in Minnesota, and of course, myself thrifting for our homes from Vermont to Coastal Maine.
