Thrifting is one of my favorite things to do, and I’m excited to be offering you an opportunity to join me!
For $35 a year (billed automatically through PayPal) you will become a part of my thrifting community online: Thrift With The Makerista.
Through the private page on Instagram you will get to come along on all of my treasure hunting trips, from junk shops to high end antique stores. I’ll show the treasures I find and also be sharing tips and tricks for picking out those diamonds in the rough.
You also have access to The Makerista’s Thrift Club via Facebook. This community group is where you can share recent finds, seek advice on pieces you’re considering buying, find members in your area, and learn from the experience of others.
With your membership, you gain access to the The Makerista’s Thrift Club Market via Facebook. This is a place for friends to share deals. Buy, sell and trade the treasures you have found along the way that you would like to pass along to your fellow thrifters.
The newest addition to the community is The Makerista’s Thrift Club Handbook. This is a collection of Gwen’s best tips and tricks in one place. Study at home or bring it with you on treasure hunts to help you be the most knowledgeable thrifter. Sign up to today to bring The Makerista’s magic to your life.

F A Q s
Does the subscription renew on the first of the year?
Your Paypal subscription of $35 a year renews annually, not on the calendar year. If you join in June, your membership will renew next June.
I’m not in Kansas City, can I still join Thrift Club?
Absolutely. The club is more about training your eye than specific finds. We have members from all over the globe: Australia, Canada, France, South Africa, Norway…
How long does it take to get approved?
New members are added every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. If you haven’t been added in a few days, make sure you have requested to follow @thriftwiththemakerista and The Makerista’s Thrift Club. If something was entered incorrectly we may not be able to find your request. We will email the account you entered to get the correct information and get you added in.
But I’ve missed out on all of the great content up to this point?
I save everything to story highlights on Instagram, so you haven’t missed a thing!
What are the annual renewal terms?
The Thrift Club is an annual renewal membership. This means that you are charged through your PayPal on the anniversary of your sign up for another year. To remove yourself from the annual renewal, you can change your settings in your PayPal account under you subscriptions. This is the only way to cancel your renewal; refunds will not be issued. If you have any questions, please reach out to Elizabeth Ann Gabriel at [email protected].
