modern thrifter
I love beautiful things and thoughtful design. I also live in one of the most expensive cities in the country, and our family lives off a single income so that I can be at home with our kids. Patience and persistence have been the key to finding stylish things on a tight budget.

![[ RECENT FINDS ]
Sadly, my weekly thrift store outings have been quite sporadic as of late. I have picked up a few small things in the last month, though. The first was this unmarked canoe-shaped bowl that I bought for $5 at the same estate sale where I found Tula’s embroidered artwork. It’s bigger than it looks in the photo, measuring almost 17” from end to end. I’ve been keeping it on the dining table and lining up a few oranges or apples in it.
I also found this teak tray at the flea market, that is marked “RAINBOW Products Sweden” on the bottom. I have found a few other vintage Rainbow teak products, but I can’t find any details about the company. The tray was also $5, and in excellent condition, just in need of a little oil.
It’s a great size for holding bathroom things, though its beauty makes me want to take a hammer to the tile that we’re currently stuck with. Thank you previous owners for thinking diamond patterned tile would be a good idea in our house.](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lizx093m3i1qc7v1bo1_500.jpg)
