The Dump - Vol. 23

An end of the month round-up of (over 40 of!) the finest secondhand things from around the internet

Welcome to the end of the month (I know this is technically landing in your inbox in March) edition of “The Dump” — a roundup of curated vintage, secondhand, or handmade things I have bookmarked from around the internet that are looking for a new place to call home. No essays — just a collection of items I’ve come across in my treasure hunting adventures.

Swoop up the riches, share it with your friends, let it inspire a secondhand hunt of your own and join in on saving something from ending up in “the dump.”
