Welcome to the Thrifting with the Gals monthly blog hop as we share our thrifted finds and how we decorated with these finds throughout our homes.
“Thrifting with the Gals” started with a group of friends who met over on Instagram and formed a special relationship through a mutual love of home decorating. We share a passion for all things vintage, thrifty, and cozy.
Our styles are all unique, from Kristin’s log cabin in the Northwoods of Wisconsin, Rachel’s farmhouse in North Carolina, Robyn’s beautiful French Nest in Florida, and, of course, myself thrifting for our homes from Vermont to Coastal Maine.

51+ Cheap Spring Decor Ideas to Inspire You
This month, for me, it was all about outdoor furniture flips and DIYs.
It’s mud season here in Vermont, a time to slow down and prepare for spring, which is just around the corner.
My first project was on My Favorite Second-Hand Table, a wallpaper table that I found thrifting last summer.

6. A Vintage Haul for the Porch – Cheap Spring Decor
On our first nice sunny and warm day of the season, I headed over to Stone House Antique Center in Chester, Vermont, to look for a few things for our front porch this spring.
I had a great day thrifting, finding an old wooden trunk, a vintage crock, blue pillows, and an adorable lemonade set, all for the porch, all complete with cheap spring decor ideas.

The weather is starting to warm up around here, and we’re also seeing signs of new greenery outside between all the April showers.

Check it all out HERE.
I think I spoke too soon, though; we had mini snowstorms all day on Easter and again all day on Tuesday.
But doesn’t it look so beautiful, contrasting with the green grass?
