Country Life, City Life: The J. Crew Catalogue of Thrifting.

City life, a bustling metropolis of businesswomen on the go. Big meetings, short deadlines and faraway out-of-town conferences. What’s a girl to do?

Why, pack up her dreamy, vintage sky blue Samsonite train case, of course!



Samsonite train case, $6.97 from 2nd Avenue Value Store.

 
But when the big city lights shine just a tad too bright, a gal’s just got to get away. May we suggest a leisurely holiday to the countryside…of Japan?

Towering mountains, limitless lakes and a cool and easy breeze makes this country life worth living. Sit back and take it all in.




Three-dimensional handmade tree bark art from Japan, 50 cents at a local Philadelphia flea market.

There she can enjoy the comforts of breathtaking views and with just a few simple ingredients, equally exotic cuisine.





Vintage Japanese Cookbook, 1969. $1 from the flea market.

For ordering information, please scout the aisles of your local thrift store.
