For several months now, I’ve been wanting to make a favorite thrift finds of 2019 post. When I thought back to what my favorites were, I could only come up with two things. I thrifted far more than two things last year, of course. I could think of many things, but they weren’t my favorite, not the most practical or useful, not items I used often and with relish. So I decided to stop wracking my brain for more items. Two is enough.

Mini thermos
I thrifted this late in the year, I can remember bc it was when a friend was staying with us. I had never seen such a small thermos! It seemed like such a useful object. And it has been! It keeps things warm for hours and is perfect for one serving. We mostly use it for oatmeal, but it’s great for warm beverages too!

Red sketch book
I thrifted this at the Goodwill near my mom’s house (the ones where some pugs were stollen a few years back). This is a really high quality sketch book with nice thick pages. I’ve been using it this year for my monthly goals and for just playing with paints and markers.

And there you have it. The two thrifted items that really stand out to me from 2019. Both simple, utilitarian, and beautiful.

What were your favorite thrift finds of 2019?
