  5. they are so cute! I would love to win this for me, lol. at the rafflecopter it says leave a blog post comment below but it won’t let me do anything. maybe it means here? I keep my fabric scraps, I haven’t found anything to do with them just yet.

  7. Since I’m not on Facebook, it looks as if I am limited to posting comments on the blog tour for entries. I would love to win this book. That owl on the cover is adorable!

  8. I would love to have a copy of this book and try my hand at making some of the birds. Of course, I would want to embellish them with embroidery and beads if possible, lol. Thanks for the opportunity.

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.
