New to You

Just because our hearts are firmly entrenched in all things secondhand doesn't mean we've forgotten that fuzzy feeling that comes with getting our mitts on something shiny and new. But in the world of flea markets and vintage shops, garage sales and junk shops, that addition to your life might not be so "shiny" and it might not necessarily be "new" – at least in the classic sense. Who cares? We know that "new to you" is better anyway. So let's get digging for those treasures with a little more patina, a bit more wear, and a lot more story.
