Thrift It! Clique – Floral Prints

  Florals for spring.  Revolutionary, right?  Not really.  But what about vintage and thrifted florals for spring?  There's a spin that we all can love!  I often buy things just for the print (via my How To Thrift rules), so instead of shopping for this month's theme, I remembered this print . . .
