Art for Art Sakes

Inspiration can be found in the most unique and even odd places. THRIFT is all about creating wearable art and it is neccesary to be inspired by interesting objects and works of art. We look everywhere for special vintage inspiration. Here is just a taste of a great realistic oil painter that we have been following: Chris Achesson.

THRIFT's Branching into Accessories

Check out our latest most innovative crafty creation! Thrift has been working on a line of interesting wearable pieces of art. These creative rings are inspired by the summer that will soon begin to surround us. We have utilized victorian, nautical and bohemian inspiration for this line of incredibly chic and very fun rings! They range in price from 5-10 bucks each plus shipping and handling! Definitely take a look at: http://www.thegoodfind.etsy.com/!

As always the rings are eco-friendly and made from already existing and recycled material, using vintage earrings, pins & knick knacks into hip & trendy rings!

Happy Shopping Thrifters!

THRIFT can be bought on Etsy.com which is an incredible site for handmade goods to be sold on! You can be sure to always find the cutest vintage and handmade items for your kids on Etsy! THRIFT just loves the community on Etsy and the great items that can be found as well!
