Tips for Entertaining with Thrift Finds
- Mix and Match: Don't shy away from mixing patterns and styles. The charm of thrifted items lies in their uniqueness. A mix-and-match table setting can add interest and personality to your event.
- Repurpose with Purpose: Get creative with how you use your finds. An ornate photo frame can double as a menu holder, a stylish teapot can become a flower vase—the possibilities are endless!
- Create a Conversation Starter: Many thrifted items have a history. Use these stories to spark conversations among your guests.
