Holy cow people. If you aren’t already reading this blog, then you can join in on my “how did I miss this space?” club! Amy is a mama and a crafter, and her blog explores her life in pictures – phenomenal pictures – and great words about her life. She e-mailed me to let me know about her thrifty ways, using tons of recycled materials in her crafts, and I’ve just spent over an hour perusing her blog, her photos, and wishing my life could be so gorgeous!

Most recently, she posted several pictures to her blog about garlands she’s making for the holiday season – each one using materials she’s got on hand around her house. I love the mittens garland so much!!!

Discover Your Unique Style with Second Chances by Macy Eleni

If you’re someone who gets a little thrill from discovering a hidden gem in a secondhand store or loves the idea of curating a closet full of personality and stories, Second Chances by Macy Eleni is an absolute gem of a read. This book isn’t just about shopping—it’s about reclaiming your personal style in a way that’s sustainable, creative, and unapologetically YOU.

Macy brings all the charm and know-how of a seasoned thrifting queen, sharing her journey and passion for sustainable fashion in a really relatable, encouraging way. From practical thrifting tips to ideas for tailoring and revamping your finds, it’s packed with advice for anyone looking to ditch fast fashion and embrace a more mindful, expressive way of dressing.

What I personally loved is how Macy makes space for all styles, all sizes, and all personalities. It’s not about looking like everyone else—it’s about discovering what makes YOU feel amazing, and doing it with flair. For someone like me who’s drawn to quirky, eclectic home décor and wardrobe choices, this book was like a breath of fresh thrifted air.

Whether you’re brand new to thrifting or a seasoned op-shopper, Second Chances will have you looking at your closet—and your shopping habits—in a whole new way.
