Meagan Loves Old Stuff!

Sarah and Meagan both love secondhand finds—for different reasons. While Sarah’s thrifting pursuits are typically driven by practicality and sustainability, Meagan tends to follow a vibes-first approach to antiquing.

In this episode, Meagan dives into her love of vintage housewares and the teacups, embroidered linens, and kitchen pieces that catch her eye at antique malls and thrift stores. She talks about the eras and styles she’s most drawn to, why certain pieces feel impossible to leave behind, and how collecting often starts with a feeling rather than a need. Meagan also shares how her tastes have evolved over time and talks honestly about how she’s learned to pass along once-loved treasures that no longer fit her home or lifestyle, and why letting go is part of the joy of living with old things.
