The ♥ Behind Barely Necessities

Hello! My name is Hollie Gilmore. I am the owner of Barely Necessities. I have a passion for being thrifty, organizing, and finding ways to turn junk into art or productive things that function. I love uncovering hidden treasures from the past... along with their stories they tell, the nostalgia they bring, and the memories they rekindle. So, not only will you find your average every day new and used items... but you will also find vintage collectibles, antiques, and unique items here!

Our inventory at, Barely Necessities, comes from all different resources. It may come from family and friends, estate sales, clean-outs, donations, world-wide searches, as well as various other places and people. By offering these items for sale, we are hoping they will be put to good use. Whether you are an avid collector looking for that prized possession, a bargain hunter looking for deals on everyday items, or an artist looking to create beauty out of junk... we hope that you find something you can use, want, or need.
