"As someone who loves vintage things, you can find me at my local thrift store regularly. I enjoy stocking my closet with secondhand finds and finding gifts or unexpected storage gems instead of buying them new. The thrill of the hunt is ultimately what keeps me going back time after time. Whether I have 10 minutes or an hour to peruse, flipping through clothing racks and scouring the shelves always brings me joy,"
"The origin of bookends dates back to the late 1800s when folks started owning collections of books to read and display, and, of course, even though they're an old invention, are still highly useful today. You might think of the utilitarian metal bookends you find on public library shelves, but there are so many more decorative choices to have as statement pieces, blend with your existing decor, or use in an unexpected way around your home."
"My go-to place to look for bookends is the thrift store, where you can usually buy them for under $10 a pair. In secondhand shops, bookends are typically in the home decor section unless your particular store tends to do styled vignettes. If you find a single bookend in a disheveled decor section, peek around to see if it got separated from its mate."
A vintage shopper frequently visits thrift stores to acquire secondhand clothing, gifts, and storage items, finding thrifting enjoyable for its 'thrill of the hunt.' Bookends are a favored thrift find. Bookends originated in the late 1800s when people began owning collections of books, and they remain useful today. Decorative and utilitarian styles exist, including metal library-style bookends and many decorative statement options. Thrift stores often sell bookend pairs for under $10 and place them in the home decor section. Estate sales yield higher-priced but higher-quality bookends ($20–$75). Antique shops can also offer bookends, with variable pricing.
