I have in the past and occasionally still will buy items from a resale or thrift store. I think it’s economical and the items, at times, are gently used. It all depends on what I’m looking for but I think  a resale shop is a great concept to help save money.  You can really find some bargains if you look hard enough!

Part III

JunkMarketstyle wedding at Marburger Farm
I like the antique wedding project because I personally liked the antique rings that were displayed. I liked that it was certified GIA so people have some gurantee. I also thought the concept in general was innovated because most traditional weddings are extremely expensive, so I thought having this one stop shop to shop for a wedding is very unique as well as time and money saving idea.

How to make a swinging bed
This project caught my interest because I wanted to know how one can make a swinging bed. At first I thought of a Hammock, but this was a little different. I thought it was such an innovated idea. I think it’s a nice touch if you have a lot of outdoor space it seems like it can be very serene and relaxing.

Candleholder project
I thought that this was very creative way to display candles. I liked that it looks vintage buy yet has style to it. It very unique and adds a lot of décor to the home.
