The 150-Year-Old Thrift Store Gem I Never Pass Up (I Use It in Every Room!)
Briefly

The article emphasizes the joys of thrifting for vintage bookends as a unique form of home decor. It highlights the history of bookends, tracing back to the late 1800s, and discusses the diverse, decorative options available today. The author shares personal experiences of hunting for bookends at thrift stores and estate sales, where one can find quality pieces that serve both functional and aesthetic purposes. The affordability of thrift shop finds contrasted with the slightly higher prices at estate sales reveals the value in acquiring vintage decor items.
I've also had luck finding bookholders at estate sales. Because you're shopping someone's home, bookends are usually in a more logical place, such as holding magazines on a shelf or cookbooks in the kitchen.
The thrill of the hunt is ultimately what keeps me going back time after time... flipping through clothing racks and scouring the shelves always brings me joy.
