“I want to share how great and fun thrifting can be.”
Abby (@Thrift-me-Happy) is a blogger from Salt Lake City, Utah. She is a mom of four, a Halloween fanatic, and a longtime lover of thrifting. Abby is a believer in expressing yourself through thrift shopping and believes that you can have the home and style you want from buying mostly from secondhand stores. Abby’s favorite thing to share with others is how to repurpose items in your home and how to get creative in-home decor. “Utah is a very trendy place for thrifting. There are a lot of people reselling in my area on Instagram,” she says. “I don’t resell and am more of a blogger. I like to show people what they can do with the items they find and give them ideas for DIY projects or for flipping items.”
