There should be a Secondhand Sunday Bowl instead of a Super Bowl. I'd watch for sure. Anyway, every single item in this picture was thrifted or gifted and that's my super talent. Just sayin. 🤣👉😁👍

A joyful heart is good medicine. What a wonderful reminder to keep finding joy. Cecilia from @cecilia_mythriftstoreaddiction made this adorable framed cross stitch and sent it to me because my deconstructed chair was feature of the year on her Vintage Charm blog hop party. Thank you so very much for your kindness and the beautiful gift. ❤

I wish I was a morning person but I'm not. I prefer to be sleeping peacefully, wrapped in my down comforter. Today I am unexpectedly up and wide awake. Tell me....what do you morning people do? .

On this day in 1992, my 5 month old baby received a life saving liver transplant. In 2015, he unexpectedly passed away at the age of 23.
.
.
I am so very grateful for the family that was able to see through their grief and help save a life. They gave me an extra 23 years of happy memories with Cody. .
.
There are no words of gratitude that can adequately express my appreciation for that gift. All I can do is share the message and importance of being an organ donor. Organ donation is the ultimate recycle, reuse and repurpose. Be a donor.

I love using architectural salvage pieces in my decor. A few years ago, I saw this at an antique shop and loved it. 2 days later my hubby surprised me and gave it to me for my birthday. Would you be mad if you got a vintage wooden attic vent for your birthday? Not me!

Tarnished silver is my love language. Ok, I'm bilingual because chairs, tables, dishes and religious memorabilia are also my love language. ❤😘😍

Faux and real plants. Doesn't matter to me which type of plant I use to add pops of green throughout the house. I just like bringing nature indoors and it seems I've been better with real plants lately. How about you? 🌱🌿☘

The benefits of recycling, reusing and repurposing

The benefits of recycling, reusing and repurposing save me time, money and make the Earth a better place. This torn wool scarf got a new life and I saved it from going to the landfill. I'm happy and the planet is happy too. 😊

👉Swipe and join me in #sundaysocialscroll 👉 Genuine, real, people sharing their authentic self without being caught up in all the drama and hype of the IG popularity contest.
Those are the kind of people that inspire me. People sharing what they love to do, just because.

Don't get me wrong, I do follow the IG rockstars too but as soon as they start overselling is when I start swiping and scrolling.
Maybe some of the people I follow do strive to be mega, IG rockstars and sell stuff too but to me they do it with balance while maintaining their genuine personality without making me feel like a sales call.

This year I want to connect with more people sharing their true, authentic self. I personally gravitate towards vintage decor, thrift store and flea market finds as well as thrifted clothes & fashion. Can't forget all the amazing recipes being shared too.
I am going to use the hashtag #sundaysocialscroll to share my favorite accounts and I hope you will too. You can follow the hashtag to see my weekly shares and maybe connect with some great people.

With that being said, meet my first 3 picks for the Sunday Social Scroll.

In keeping with my 2020 writing goals, I shared the fun story and memories behind this worn and tattered envelope I framed and preserved in a 16x20 vintage frame. This quick project also adds more details to the "Who am I" series I started writing on January 1st. ❤❤❤
