Going green means more than switching to eco friendly cleaning products and recycling plastics and metal cans. Going green can be artsy and fun! As part of my regular shopping routine, I swing by several thrift and consignment shops each month and search for items needed around the house or for the body. On one shopping trip noticed the purple lamp base pictured above, some ties for my husband, and baskets for organizing towels in my linen closet. Later on in the month, the leaf lamp shade popped out at me, while this little bag below was tucked behind children’s clothing. All in all, thrifting is a great way to find little gems–sometimes in the rough–at much lower prices and that didn’t need to be newly produced for its buyer. Later this week I’ll post more about my thrift finds out in Leesburg, Virginia, where I met two cheerful women running a cute shop out of a historic home.
