[@debrabullington7805]

You put back the framed cat! Bad idea. People would have ignored the matting colors for the fact that this was done in Counted Cross Stitch. It took many, many hours to complete!

[@brendakarason7680]

I will actually buy the whole thing just to get the cross stitch. I donate the frame back.

[@nicolesteddum3328]

Sell the cat unframed and also those mats can be painted any color with craft paints. I have painted my fair share of mats.

The door stopper is a Bosten Terrier

5:55 is Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris. It sits on an island, hence the bridge.

[@charlottemccaig578]

The half lamp shades are correct. Those lamps usually sell for $50-$80 each. Gives you more table space since lamp can fit closer to the wall. The dog doorstop is a Boston Terrier along with the planter you put back. That had value...I believe that is Betty Boops dog, Pudgy. I'd have taken the needlework cat out of the frame and sold it that way. It would sell, cats are so popular right now. Owls are making another comeback too. Not sure about buying that framed print with the white circular mat...it's pretty common but I'm guessing you checked comps

[@ashleychristensen2442]

Started with clothes too. The older I get the more I source vintage hard goods. In other words: the older I get, the harder I get! 😂

The Rhogam mugs could be old when the drug came out. Rhogam is given to pregnant women who are a negative blood type. If the fetus and mother’s blood would mix it could cause complications in either the mother or fetus I believe. I am B negative blood type so I’ve had rhogam during both my pregnancies.

The picture of Jesus is when he walked on the water, I'm sure. Love your videos. I've been watching every one for about 2 1/2 years. I especially love the ones with Roger in them. So happy for you both. Today I especially loved the Indiana mug and the Covered Bridge picture. Not sure if you picked up the mug. I'm from Indiana originally and we had a lot of covered bridges in the area where I lived. You and Roger work so hard. We do not have good thrift stores here in the Kansas City, MO area. Would love to visit PA someday. God bless you both and thank you for sharing your thrifting/selling life with us.

The nutcracker with the black fuzzy hat has no nose. That's why they put the price tag there.

[@cheryldavis8776]

Good observation! I've never paid much attention to these, so I would also have missed a missing nose! 😅

Looked to me that the nose would be painted on, but with the sticker there, it does seem they covered the damage.

I agree with you discarding the cat picture. I Love the beaded dog and many other finds in the video. Thank Roger for spending a few minutes with my mother and her sister at rt 30. She was in Lancaster for the show. We came up in May and didn’t run into you two so she is bragging that she spoke to Roger. Lol. No worries she is 84. 🤣

I've watched you for a couple of years, and even more since you have Roger on your team. The two of you find such good stuff and seem to have so much fun. I have one request. Please search for a few new adjectives. I guess my ADHD checks in, and if I were a drinker, I'd make a drinking game of how many times "sweet" is the descriptive word. I honestly don't even know what that means. I love your videos. You aren't the only reseller on KZbin using sweet.

[@lavenderclothesline]

Have you ever tried filming in a thrift store ??? 😂 it’s amazing I get anything understandable out of my mouth

[@glendasully]

Thank you, Karen, for taking the time to carry a Go-Pro in your hand, film, pick up & show us items, push a cart, dodge customers, dig through art work, hard goods, lamps, clothes, purses, belts, etc. You do it with such grace & use beautiful language & verbiage to describe the items in your videos.

Those half shade table lamps are great for narrow long tables placed behind the couch against the wall. I have that set up in my living room. It provides great reading light sitting on the couch, character, a table top to add interesting pieces too without hogging up a narrower room floorspace.

Surely Vera Bradleys must be very unpopular with so many ending up in goodwill? What a conundrum🤣🤣

[@1277martinez]

The brand have sales once in a while and put the stuff very cheap. I believe that is damaging the value because the quality and cuteness still there.

[@LannieLord]

@@1277martinez It causes "buyer fatigue".

[@cyndialt9493]

Most of the Vera that you find at the Goodwill needs to be thrown away. I sell on eBay, and I won't buy from GW unless it's flawless and not overpriced and that's rare. The key to success with Vera is knowing your patterns and style names. There are a lot of styles that they don't make anymore. That is stuff people want the rare hard to find. Vera Bradley has changed so much over the years. It's a shame the quality is not there anymore.

The dog door stop may be a French Bulldog. French Bulldog's are chubbier all around. Their face, body and legs. Frenchie's also have round ear tips. Boston Terrier's are thinner with more lanky legs. But have the same squished adorable face. A Boston Terrier's ears are pointed at the tip. Triangular.
