As a hardcore thrift store shopper, I've been known to purchase vintage
wall art on more than one occasion. Sometimes I do it for the art and sometimes I do it for
the frame.

DIY Easter decor doesn't have to be expensive or difficult to make. While

<span style="font-size: x-large;">My periodic Thrill of the Hunt blog post series, born ten years ago, is now
becoming Thrifted vs. Styled! While my Thrill of the Hunt posts are some of
my favorite, and most popular, blog posts over the years, I thought it was
time to make a change -- one that would be more reflective of today's
thrifting culture. </span>

<p>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The Thrifted vs. Styled posts will essentially be the same posts you've
grown to know and love, just presented in a different format. So why not
join me as I continue the awesome tradition of thrifting and sharing?</span>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Many, if not most of us, use candles in our homes - for ambiance and scent as well as for utility in the case of power outages. But no matter what type of candles we use, they still need to be lit <i>somehow</i>. So how do you light
<i>your</i> candles? </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAg1A_ooXAP8BZCqVD9hntuTJmKV2bzhsZptyFEfHE6GVljNTtiYu7o9Gl26nwv3vOndhPCkAVzb4Fz6qYDHBVH-i3pMgyltp0c4chw_Im-XsX0ucUBjXCnQWzIKZjR9zXY6QtEdtk0wX7meTNsbgrbUrgqiAlbw7xluLjCpmTWO52Le9pn3Z1nIDS/s1580/Elegant-DIY-Crystal-Matchstick-Holder.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="crystal sugar bowl filled with matchsticks on rustic pedestal riser" border="0" data-original-height="1580" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAg1A_ooXAP8BZCqVD9hntuTJmKV2bzhsZptyFEfHE6GVljNTtiYu7o9Gl26nwv3vOndhPCkAVzb4Fz6qYDHBVH-i3pMgyltp0c4chw_Im-XsX0ucUBjXCnQWzIKZjR9zXY6QtEdtk0wX7meTNsbgrbUrgqiAlbw7xluLjCpmTWO52Le9pn3Z1nIDS/w438-h640/Elegant-DIY-Crystal-Matchstick-Holder.png" title="Adding a rustic wood slice to a thrifted pedestal creates a shabby chic riser." width="438"></a></div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">While some might say that using an actual match to light a candle these days seems -- dare I say it? -- a little dated, I'm going to counter that with a proposition. What if you had an elegant tabletop matchstick holder that cost only pennies to make? </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Thrifting has been a real godsend for me over the years. In
addition to the thrill of the hunt, and the fact that it's in my nature, I've always been able to use my thrifted
finds to decorate our home in a collected and curated fashion. And I
wouldn't have it any other way. Take my thrifted DIY facial tissue holder as
a prime example.</span>

clearance aisles in the hopes of making your own fabulous finds for
yourself. So let's get started.</span>

an estate sale. It's gorgeous, with great bones and a colorful history. And
while it was purchased "as is," I still believe it was a steal. Because who
doesn't love a piece of gorgeous fixer-upper furniture?</span>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Have you ever seen something fabulous in a magazine, a blog post, or on
Pinterest and thought, "I wish I had that in </span><i style="font-family: inherit;">my</i><span style="font-family: inherit;">
home" (like a beautiful glass cloche styled for winter) -- and then went
on to convince yourself it was just too expensive? Yes, I've done that. But I've also done something else, something better. </span></span>
