My two favorite ladies! I am already envisioning your life in Florida alongside Mellissa and Bare rocking Facebook Marketplace! I love the thrift store in the house. Several years back there was an antique store in a three story house; I dreamed about buying it, living upstairs, and putting an antique store on the first level and in the basement.

Corning Museum of Glass in Corning NY has a great glass blowing expose. And the most beautiful glass. Even better than anything I saw in Murano, Italy. Definitely worth the trip.

[@seaside2001]

Glad you are having fun together. The 1980's - bad decade - big hair, big shoulder pads, pink & black & green interiors! Oh no.....lol I was happy to see that decade come to an end. Love love your "snarky bunny" - everyone needs one I say.

[@vlrissolo]

Oh, but these days are so sloppy! In the eighties we dressed! Now it's leggings, sweatshirts, ripped jeans, and no one wears heels, which dresses up the most ripped and torn jeans!😂 These days it's about comfort. That's OK, but I recall having lots of joy styling my outfits each day. Especially the evening or party clothes. Since I was born with thick, curly hair, it was easy to style, and didn't hurt that I was in the business. I recall many women had different types of bobs. It was really the teens who had big frizzy hair. Anything was better than the early 2000s with the super straight,flat hair, and that Caeser cut on men😅 Whatever era we are in, the past always seems crazy!.. with the exception of the 40s and 50s... but in the 70s we didn't much care for those decades either... wonder what's next?😮 I'm too obviously old to follow trends anymore. The classics for us old folks, but no shampoo sets!❤❤❤

[@seaside2001]

@@vlrissolo I absolutely hated the styles, and had a professional job at the time, so had to dress up for work in all those horrible styles. lol Big hair, curled for those big waves, lots of make up, hideous colour combinations. Millions spent on pantihose. lol Lousy music, Conservative Governments all over the world. What a relief when the 80's went away. One big highlight was the birth of my daughter. Now that was fun.

I bought a painting at a garage sale while traveling, found a box in a random alley it fit in perfectly. Allowed two pieces of baggage. Arrived at airport, explained situation to individual at ticket counter; she started laughing and slapped a tag on it and said "all taken care of, no extra charge!" Arrived in perfect condition.

[@bjohnson1149]

The Santa is everything!!! Joe Spencer is the designer and he is wonderful. I would buy him in a second.

[@cheryldavis8776]

When hurricanes Milton and Helene are just distant memories, and our country has been able to heal from the horror that they brought, I know that you and Mellissa will once again feel joy and excitement at the prospect of thrifting...😊 If and when that occurs, you might want to look up "The Womens' Exchange" in Sarasota. If you've not ever been there, it's a resale shop you don’t want to miss! I'm writng this in advance of Milton's landfall on Wednesday night, 10/09/24, so I am hoping and praying that downtown Sarasota can make it through with a minimum of damage. Downtown is surrounded by Sarasota Bay with lots and lots of water -- and the potential for inundation by seawater incursion and flash flooding is very high. Sending heartfelt thoughts and prayers -- and good juju! 😊 Be safe everyone. ❤

[@LindaKayHolevas]

What a fun video! I adore Mellissa as much as I adore you, Karen. I am so happy to know that you all are safe. Being in Oregon, I am far removed from the storm, however, my thoughts and prayers are with all of those affected by it. ❤

Karen, I’ve been so worried about you. I thought you mentioned that you were going to FL and I thought maybe you started home. I went and checked Insta and saw you are all safe at Lisa’s house. So glad Mellisa and Bare evacuated and are safe ❤. Hope you have a blast with your family and get lots of goodie’s at the new GW. ❤

[@Beachpeace]

I ve been binge watching Melissa’s getting her eba❤y packages ready to mail. I could watch her for days. What other channels does she have.

[@abil828]

This was such a fun video! I love the two of you together and I’m glad you got to be there when there is good weather. And yes, those were oak trees, specifically major oaks and they do have the gorgeous Spanish moss, but I believe that Spanish Moss can carry some sort of little parasite inside and so if you, get some you should put it into a plastic bag and let everything have a chance to die. I hope the stores made it through Milton; They’re awfully close to water.

[@KarenDelaney-n7s]

I cant believe you were in my area! I love the Parrish Thrift Store! I would have loved to have met you. PJ's sub shop is a great little place for lunch right down the road!
