My Secret Life As A Treasure Hunter – Vintage Shopping Happiness

I admit it.  I have a secret life as a treasure hunter.

I love going to flea markets, estate sales, garage sales/tag sales and thrift shops.  If you know what you are looking for you can find the best deals.

For over 12 years I have been searching for unique finds like collectibles, clothing, furniture and more in the entire USA and overseas.    I sometimes keep the stuff I find, but often I sell my lovingly found merchandise. 

The thrill of the hunt makes my heart race and the success of a good buy brings a smile to my face. 

Vintage shopping gives me such joy and it is an activity that I have been able to share with my children.  At 4 years old Massimo is beginning to have a great eye and has helped me find some interesting things like the signed baseball I have pictured below.

I would like to start sharing with you the interesting, fun, pretty and quirky items that I find during my vintage shopping jaunts.

Here are a few of my favorite treasures that I have in my collection.

I would like to take you along the ride of my happy thrifty shopping adventures!
