[Thrift Store Confidential ]

Started by fellow passionate lifelong thrifters, Thrift Store Confidential is a resource on all things thrifting. There's so much to love about this site I'm having trouble summing it up, so I'll use their words: 

"Through regular posts and webisodes on subjects ranging from fashion, furniture and philosophy to store spotlights, laundry tips and creating your own signature style, the TSC team will walk you through the nittygritty of second-hand delights."

[Parsimonia {Second Hand With Style}]

A pretty blog about thrifting, crafting, DIY and second-hand style. I love the well-edited tone and style, the shop updates, occasional healthy recipes, and of course, the thrifted treasures and bits of art shared. It's should be a daily stop for artistic second-hand inspiration.

[The Nonconsumer Advocate]

Katy of The Nonconsumer Advocate is part of "The Compact", a worldwide movement where people choose not to buy anything new. As Katy learns new ways to live on less and save more, she imparts the wisdom to her blog readers.

It's a motivating resource, and it will help keep you on track if you took a  Buy Nothing New Pledge. Thanks for keeping us all going with the mission, Katy! (And for keeping me from buying new stuff when I'm tempted via our chats on twitter!)
