On the walls of Jessica Vincent's Henrico County home are two shelves filled with décor -- pieces she has collected throughout her years going thrift store shopping.

"They all have meaning to me, because I can remember where I was when I found them, especially the more important ones," said Vincent, who added her love of thrifting was instilled into her by her mother.

"So, I grew up having an appreciation for old things and art. She was an art teacher. So she instilled a lot of good qualities into me early, I think. And I'm an avid 'Antiques Roadshow' watcher. I love the show."
