What Is Thriffty Fingies

Thrifty fingers is a manifestation of the phrase ‘A jack of all trades’. As an individual who enjoys a variety of trades and wants to share many of my skills with the world I created Thriffty fingies. The name is an intentional reference to thrift stores. Growing up being raised by a single mother, since money was often tight, thrift stores became my favorite place to be. Affordable, sustainable, and a bit of everything you need right at your fingertips. I want Thriffty fingers to bring about the same excitement thrift stores bring for me. Grasping at many concepts and ideas, I think of my business as the thrift shop for artists and creatives. Similar to how you can go to a thrift store and leave with a new wardrobe, a new pot and pan set, and/or even a new comforter set. Not only can you come excited to scour through the aisles for that unique piece no one else will ever have, but you can leave feeling fulfilled with so much more. I want to create a space for empathy and understanding. As an individual who walks through life with 6+ mental  illnesses I know how harrowing it feels to be alone and misunderstood. Thriffty fingers is not just for fashion but for overall expression. I want to utilize my other skills in writing and poetry to create a blog/podcast  talking about my experiences walking through PTSD in the hopes to relate to and inspire my fellow tortured souls in the world. Additionally,  on the podcast I want to highlight issues of mental health, the creative process in creation, etc but especially giving other artists the opportunity to use their voices and share their stories. There are many facets to this business, in a way that may seem confusing at first, but similar to how 8 legs may seem overwhelming to humans, but  octopi manage to find a usage for each one, Thriffty fingers will find a balance utilizing each facet of the business to propel our mission and vision
