Frequently Asked Questions About Thrifting with the Gals
Thrifting with the Gals is a vintage decor series where four friends share our secondhand shopping adventures, from thrift stores and flea markets to antique stores and barn sales. We showcase the treasures we find, how much we pay, and how we decorate our homes with vintage charm and personal style.
Our thrifting adventures span New England and beyond, including hidden barn sales in Vermont, thrift stores along the Maine coast, vintage markets in the South, and even occasional international finds. We’re always on the lookout for unique secondhand shops, flea markets, antique malls, and local gems.
We hunt for timeworn home decor pieces with character, like vintage dishware, transferware, wicker baskets, antique chairs, crocks, linens, artwork, seasonal decor, and anything that feels storied. Each of us has our own vintage style, and we love showing how these thrifted finds can be styled in cozy, collected homes.
We mix thrifted vintage decor with everyday pieces to create warm, welcoming spaces. You’ll find us layering antique frames over mantels, creating table vignettes with flea market finds, styling porch spaces with seasonal thrifted pieces, and reimagining old objects in fresh, creative ways.
