First Thrift Haul: Building My Dream Desk Supply Shop

Quick note: the audio on this first video is rougher than I'd like — I'm upgrading my mic setup for the next one! Thanks for bearing with me while I find my footing. 🎙️ Welcome to the first video for my new shop, Toadstools & Typewriters! 🍄🖋️ I'm starting this journey to curate and sell vintage desk supplies, stationery, and "cottagecore" aesthetic pieces that bring a little bit of history and magic back to the workspace. In this haul, I'm sharing what I picked up from two recent thrift trips and walking through how I'm starting to sort finds into curated, giftable bundles. I'm so excited to build this brand from the ground up. If you love vintage stationery, dark academia vibes, and the art of the analog desk, you're in the right place. In this video: My philosophy on thrifting for profit vs. shelf space A first look at the "hero pieces" I'll be building bundles around A grab-bag surprise: a "New Old Stock" Cross pen set worth way more than I paid for it How I'm sorting individual finds into future "desk refresh" and "scholar's study" bundles Connect with me: Instagram: @ToadstoolsAndTypewriters Etsy shop opening soon — follow along so you don't miss it! Let me know in the comments what kind of bundles you'd want to see first. 👇 #Thrifting #SmallBusiness #ToadstoolsAndTypewriters #StationeryAddict #VintageFinds #Reselling #Cottagecore #DarkAcademia
