Let's Go Thrifting by Jamala Kim Wallace Welcome to another edition of Thrift Life Magazine. When I began writing this I pondered what shall I say, what shall I write about, and how will I inspire you. I decided to begin with the past and work my way to the present. With this said, it was my desire to introduce you to African-American furniture makers whose perseverance and determination created a legacy of furniture that still influences today’s style and how quality furniture is crafted. I hope you enjoy reading and as always be inspired.

Life Style Magazine

Hey everyone!! I’m so pleased to be back with a new issue of “Let’s Go Thrifting” magazine.  If you’re new to the blog, Welcome!! And by all means click here to view previous issues.  This is an exciting new issue because I had the desire to showcase a few designers who created stylish spaces to inspire you.  Every time I publish an issue of the magazine, I feel more and more accomplished in my goal.  I’m truly amazed at the wonderful responses I get, and when I reach out to a decorator, designer, blogger, or stylist to feature them, not only are they willing, but they are happy and excited.  Sometimes the word “team” is used when speaking of people who are in your support circle, but I’ll go a step further, because I have better…. I have a village who believes in my dream and goals and love being a part of it.  As humble as my publication is – they enjoy and appreciate that I’ve asked them to be a part of it.  Many understand and value the purpose of my concept to create it and it’s truly is a rewarding experience to be able to feature another issue.  This is what pushes me to continue to create each new issue.  Baby steps will turn into adult steps and then leaps and bounds (fingers crossed)!   I have set my goals for “Let’s Go Thrifting” and with the help of “my village team” I have the confidence that I’ll meet them.  I hope you enjoy reading and I’m sure you’ll become inspired!!  So everyone.. “LET’S GO THRIFTING”!!!
