Rabbit Jones loves old stuff. Thrift shopping is one of my favorite past-times, it provides a sustainable, affordable way to decorate your body and home, plus you get really amazing deals on items that are typically better made and look more interesting than the new stuff you buy today.

I'm chronically ill, so it's rare for me to feel well enough to go thrifting or antiquing. An alternative activity I can do from the bed is "researching" online.

Don't be alarmed by the prices, stuff tends to have a huge markup online. I often find something for 1/10th of the price in real life. Plus, every once in a while you do find something that is a reasonable price, and if you don't want to wait to find it in the wild, you can snatch it up!
