Passion Projects: A Love for Antiques & Thrifting
My mother- and father-in-law have the most beautiful passion for things of the past.
Antiques.Thrifted treasures.Objects with history, character, and stories already woven into them.
They don’t just shop — they hunt with intention.
They have this quiet gift for manifesting exactly what they’re looking for… especially at garage sales.
One moment I’ll never forget was the day my father-in-law, Kev, announced with complete confidence:
“Today I will find a good chainsaw.”
My brother-in-law laughed and said, “Oh mate… maybe in a small country town, but not in Sydney.”
Well…
By the end of the day, Kev had found three chainsaws —all under $5 each,all in good working order.
We still laugh about it — but there’s something deeper in that story.
Antiquing and thrifting aren’t just about bargains.They’re about:🪑 patience🧭 intuition♻️ reusing and valuing what already exists✨ trusting that what’s meant for you will show up
There’s a certain joy in rescuing something forgotten and giving it new life —and a real satisfaction in seeing potential where others don’t.
In this Passion Projects space, a love for antiques and thrift fits beautifully:• it’s mindful• it’s sustainable• it’s creative• it’s full of stories
💬 I’d love to hear from you:Have you ever manifested the exact thing you were looking for? Or do you have a favourite thrifted or antique find with a story behind it?
Share below — these are the kinds of stories that never get old 💛
