Hi! I'm mongs . I am a stay home mom of two boys and wife of a wonderful husband. I love God, I enjoy thrifting, refashioning and sewing. My blog centers mainly around my thrifty style and how I try to be creative with what I have. I like photography, history, architecture, food and vintage too so I try to include a bit of all these lovely things. Hope to see you at My Thrifty Closet!
