I am so glad you’re here today!! It just so happens to be one of my favorite days of the week because it’s… #thriftscorethursday! I cannot wait to dish about my thrifty find this week, it’s really old!

Before we head off to the thrift store treasures ahead, just wanted to mention that I’m also over All Things Thrifty today sharing a camping printable perfectly fitting for Labor Day (and may be a little teaser about next week’s TST).

Alright, so if you’re new here (howdy!) Brynne from The Gathered Home and I (well mostly Brynne) created this challenge to share our love of thrifting with the interwebs. That and to creep on thrifted finds from around the world.

In other words, please accept our invitation to the best hashtag party around. Just snag a shot of your thrifted find and slap the #thriftscorethursday on Instagram. Then get ready to be jealous over everyone’s thrifted finds.

Oh and we’ve recently added guest hosts to the mix! This week we have the super crafty Michelle from Weekend Craft, please give her a warm welcome!

3 John Legend’s “All of Me” Inspired Desktop Backgrounds

I’m pretty sure you all heard the glorious lyrics from the song “All of Me” belted from extremely talented John Legend. If not go take a listen. I promise you’ll want to sing those sweet words to your significant other on the top of your lungs. And then you may just have to write a sappy love letter placed on the bed then throw in a rose petal trail to the bed. What can I say the lyrics are just so infectious!

That’s why I’ve created a set of these FREE “All of Me” desktop backgrounds. As a daily reminder to be happy and simply love.
