Instead of busily tracking down your next vintage purchase, see what happens when you let things find you.

Usually in this column I write about actively hunting out secondhand items by visiting vintage shops and searching online. But I’m also open to things finding me. Some of the best finds have come that way, from street-side furniture (free to a good home) to hand-me-downs from friends and items spotted while idly window shopping.

Once people know you like to reuse things, they often offer you their cast-offs. I’ve received some wonderful homeware and artworks this way. Obviously you don’t have to take everything offered, but often friends, colleagues and family members will know your style, and give you things you’ll like.
