Exciting Thrift Score Thursday Changes & Emmy’s Find

Hi guys!  I know we took last week off from TST, but in the meantime my cohosts and I have been brainstorming ways to improve the format and create some buzz!  Today I am going to tell you all about the exciting Thrift Score Thursday changes coming, but I also wanted to share Emmy’s find from this past weekend at Nest Fest.  So how about the pretty pictures first, and then all the information about our changes.  Because we all like to see pictures first, right?

My favorite vintage space at Nest Fest belonged to Epoch which was run by two sweet sisters. (And I am so embarrassed but I can only recall that one of their names is Charity, and I can’t remember the other.  Sorry, ladies!)  This was the entry to their space…epochPinTheir name display was perfection, and then those chairs!  They had a few awesome macrame pieces, vintage textiles I was drooling over, and more.  I grabbed this photo from their instagram feed.  Emmy and I both had fun shopping their space, and she picked up this little box and fell in love!Animal Inspired Vintage Metal BoxPinIt wasn’t priced but the girls quoted it at $10, so we took it home for Emmy’s room. Vintage Metal Box on deskPin

For now I’ve placed it on the desk in her room, and maybe you noticed it in yesterday’s post.  I am sure Emmy will stuff it full of notes and pens and all sorts of hoarded junk… maybe lollipop sticks.  I mean, you really never know.

So now, let’s talk about all of the exciting changes in store for Thrift Score Thursday!

  • We are moving to a monthly features format.  To be quite honest, it’s a lot to prepare a blog post each week and get all the features on instagram.  We also want to focus on those finds that are extra special AND beautifully staged and styled in your home.  Frankly, if I am going to put it on my blog or in my instagram feed, I want a beautiful photo.
  • You can still keep up with the hashtag on Instagram each week, and each host will be sharing a favorite feature there each Thursday.
  • Our first monthly feature post will be 12/1 with the new format kicking off then. (So November is basically a break).
  • AND in that first post in December…..there will be a fabulous surprise thrifted giveaway!

One thing I want to also mention is that Corinna of A Designer at Home will not be continuing as a host, but not to fear… it’s all amicable and we’re all still friends!  We all just need to do what’s personally best for ourselves.

I also want to say a HUGE thank you to Brynne… she is really the mastermind and energy behind TST.  She keeps us all organized and on task, and is our fearless leader.  We couldn’t do this without her.

Now head over to my cohosts to see what they’ve got to say today!

    Love your find! (And once a month means you can feature some “grandma” finds, right? Or maybe I need to start “Grandma’s Attic $hhit” each month?)

      Charity and I are feeling so blessed that you shared about us on your blog! It was a highlight of our day to meet you and your daughter. And we love that Emmy is enjoying her find and that it found a new home!! She has a good eye like her momma 😉

    Hi Cassie! I am so honored that you liked and featured the booth my sister (Stephanie) and I had at Nest Fest! It was lovely to meet you (in person!) and Emmy, and I’m happy she found a treasure for her “new” room! Meeting you was one of the highlights of that day and I hope our paths will cross again one day soon!
