About Me

How it all started...

I'm Lilly Auty, the founder and passionate thrifter behind Lil' Greenworld Thrifts.

I've explored thrift stores big and small, from familiar names like Value Village and Salvation Army to beloved local gems like The Patch and Old Pal Vintage. During some of my toughest moments, particularly during my Masters, thrifting became my solace and was often the only thing that got me out of the house truly. Nothing gave me a dopamine hit quite like finding a hidden gem on the racks.

Community is at the heart of everything I do. Guelph has been my home for the past seven years, and I've fallen in love with its vibrant spirit and supportive atmosphere. Now, I'm thrilled to give back to the community that has given me so much and played a significant role in shaping the person I am today.

With a background in environmental sciences, I'm deeply committed to reducing my carbon footprint and living a more sustainable lifestyle. Thrifting aligns perfectly with this mission, allowing me to breathe new life into pre-loved treasures and contribute to a more eco-conscious way of living.

At Lil' Greenworld Thrifts, I invite you to join me on this journey of sustainability, community, and style. Together, let's discover the joy of second-hand shopping and make a positive impact on our planet, one thrifted find at a time.
