If you’ve been into any Marshall’s, Home Goods, Target or Walmart, Fall décor is EVERYWHERE! So I’m not completely off base with today’s topic. Let’s talk about finding fall favorites at thrift and consignment stores…
When you bring Autumn details into your home it gives your house a fresh and lovely look. But it can be an expensive endeavor. So you may want to consider shopping at thrift and consignment first for these great treasures. You will save a ton and get fall décor that doesn’t look like everyone else’s. So grab your wallet and head out to look for these thrifted beauties and this season get the best Fall décor you’ve ever had.
Fall Favorites at Thrift and Consignment: Vintage Table Linens
If there’s only one thing you buy second-hand for your fall look this season, make it in this category. Table lines are among the best Fall décor ideas for the money. There are so many kitschy and fabulous vintage linens with Fall-themes that are out there and available for just a few dollars. Look for table cloths, for your table, of course, but also consider using them for other purposes. A vintage, Fall, table cloth can easily be turned into unique pillows for your couch or bed. And you don’t even need to care about the stain in the corner of the cloth, as you can cut around it when making your form. Also consider layering these beauties for a unique start to a beautiful table, or fold them to the size of a runner and use them like place-mats.
Fall Staples, Like Faux Gourds and Pumpkins Are Great at Thrift and Consignment
After a few years of use, fake gourds and pumpkins start to look a bit shabby (and they tend to fade if used outside). If yours are going south, check for these at thrift and consignment shops first, before you replace them. Can’t locate any, as your savvy neighbors have grabbed them first? Well there’s always this great Hack with Dollar Store Pumpkins you can do to make great looking pumpkins and gourds inexpensively. Check out: Six Dollar Tree Pumpkins on YouTube.
Candles in All The Fall Shades and Scents Are Great Buys at Thrift and Consignment
Have you been to Yankee Candle lately? I love their scents, especially for fall, but $31 for a jar candle? Holy moly! As I’ve told you previously, candles are a thrift and consignment best buy. Check out my previous blog: Consignment Store Best Buys: The Rest for more on this one.

Vintage Containers…A Fall (And All-Season) Favorite
Thrift, consignment and antique stores are great sources for unique containers for your Fall décor. Think vintage fruit boxes, old baskets, old bottles, vintage trays. You can use these containers as jumping-off points for your Fall centerpieces or as minor players as you curate your front hall console or your family room coffee table.
