Shopping second-hand is now all the rage. It’s cheaper, more sustainable and environmentally friendly. It’s even more fun – you never know if you’ll find a rare knick-knack or some designer-brand piece. Second-hand items can often be not only goofy and fun, but also have a fascinating story behind them.
The Instagram page Weird Second-Hand Finds is where people send in interesting items they found while thrift shopping. The creator of the page, Sarah, was also kind enough to share some of her thoughts with us. We also spoke with recycling artist Shelly Kennagh, who told us a little bit more about reusing and repurposing thrifted items.
