A second visit to a Norwegian Thrift Store - by ARNE & CARLOS

We hope you are still enjoying your Easter Break! 🐣 We are at the thrift store and who knows what treasures we will find this time. There are two thrifts stores in our town, they are under the same ownership but for those of you who did not catch our trip to the other trifth store you can watch it here:
• Thrift Store Visit in ...
In the last store we were looking for the dead old lady's origins, but today we are searching for items for our house and for work. These two stores are pretty close. As you all remember this is the day Carlos got really into thrifting and we find old knitwear and other treasures while thrifting. We are very lucky to have two thrift stores so close by here in Norway.
We also did some thrift store shopping for Christmas which you can watch here:
• Thrift Shopping for Ch...
Stay until the end to watch some beautiful pictures of the shop and to see how many we thrift store finds we end up with!
Enjoy your Easter Break!

I think it’s so fun that Arne collects Nancy Drew books❤️😌❤️

[@heirloomarts8422]

The spinning wheel! I would have bought that if I were there. That was so cool. You guys are just too cool. 😊

[@hibird357]

I agree. Beautiful. I also loved the tapestries

[@lindacaudill1698]

The spinning wheel in the first store or at least it looked like one. I ❤ thrift stores too!!

[@rosiecat123]

I don't have a posh thrift store like this in my town. Everything there looks so nice, almost new! Loved the Russian bowls best. Happy Easter to you!

[@mistyblue5312]

These field trips are so enjoyable. Wish I had stores like this near my area. Loved the Swedish little canisters. Thanks for taking us along. It was fun. ❤❤❤

[@heidikuijer3612]

Thanks for taking us to the thrift store with you. If you found goodies, I hope you will show them on the live Sit and Knit next time. Happy Easter 🐇🥚🐥

[@ShadowTheFosterCat]

Your channel inspired me to look for local yarn stores and thrift shops when I travel. I had a 24 hour layover in Finland, and I was able to get some beautiful Finnish yarn and a secondhand sweater to remember my visit. Thank you for the inspiration! :)

[@merkinidgit]

For Arne: votives are the little candles that fit in the holder you held up-about maybe 5cm high. Tea lights are those tiny candles in a flattish tin mold that fit into those shallower holders such as warmers under teapots. Gentlemen: grab those nice teapots to use as multifunction yarn bowls/yarn dispensers!

[@cathymiller7947]

Thank you for that suggestion. I had never thought about a tea pot as a yarn bowl. It would work perfect.

[@DebiDewdrop61]

Happy Easter Arne & Carlos and Crew! 🐇🐣🐥

[@valeriesuttonpayne7413]

I think it is so sweet that Arne collects Nancy Drew.

[@teresapatterson1253]

Thank you for taking us shopping with you. There was so much to see. I was excited to see the Christmas section so please explore that in the future. I love vintage Christmas decorations and ornaments ❤

[@spinnerfun1699]

Love thrift shopping! In the first store I noticed what might be a spinning wheel, and it was there the last time you made a video at that store. Three of my favorite spinning wheels were found (rescued I like to think) from thrift stores. Maybe when you go back you could check it out? That’s another textile craft I’m sure you’d enjoy. 😊

[@winterchicrett]

Oh how lovely! Thrift stores are my weakness - I always look for Trixie Belden books. I call them Nancy Drew's predecessor. 😂🥰

[@nnmommy59]

The thrift stores here always look like a junk store. They are very rarely organized & many look like a tornado wen through them. I used to try to get leftover yarn, but all that is kept for online auctions... Most are not worth the price PLUS a hefty shipping fee. So 😥 sad...I love all the beautiful textiles there

[@GrandmaY]

Oooo! Ooooh! Ohhhh! So much fun. Was that a spinning wheel I saw in the background of the first shop? And I love the blue & white stuff. Thanks for letting us tag along!

[@nancywagner1510]

I saw spinning wheels in both stores. You never see them in thrift stores in the US and I would love it if you would at least linger by each long enough for me to get a screen shot. (Thank you for the second one, Eric!)

[@my-mysknitsaloon]

GLAD PÅSK 🐣So many goodies in that thrift store, my goodness. I wanna see more !💛 🦋🐇🌱🐣🦋💚

[@yarnsnthreads]

Oh to find a vintages spinning wheel like that green one Ina thrift store. Happy Easter!

[@The_double_ewe]

My eye went right to the spinning wheel. I love to look at old wheels but I don’t yet have the knowledge to restore one. Im gonna watch this video a lot to see all the little treasures.

[@Michelle-mr8ip]

I could watch y’all thrift all day 🤩There’s just something so soothing about it. Being an American of Norwegian and Swedish ancestry, I feel like I’m looking into my past…thank you for bringing us along!❤

[@ARNECARLOS]

There will be a new thrift store episode soon.

[@elsa25lucy]

I love the rosemaling on the larges box! And I think I spotted a spinning wheel. My kind of store - thank you for the adventure!

[@bgummeson]

The blankets look like Tunisian crochet, which produces a fabric that is embroidery-friendly. But Arne does not need another hobby! 😂

[@roseboss5899]

The Russian bowls are beautiful!

[@meatdog]

I would so love to go thrift shopping with y'all. I really liked the bowls made in the old USSR. Refreshing to see them and NOT made in China!. Have fun and thanks. ❤

[@merkinidgit]

I imagine USSR products would go for a pretty penny in the US! We never got to see them before, really.

[@nancysattictreasures2778]

Love this video! I collect Nancy Drew as well! I couldn't see the dust jacket very well but what I saw looked very different than what I see in America. Next time you're looking at Nancy Drew books could you hold them up to the camera? I'd love to see it! Thanks for letting us come along!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you for your feedback!

[@carolfaber585]

Almost as much fun as thrift shopping with you in person! This store seemed much larger than the ones we visited. I saw lots of things I liked. In the area where Carlos found the embroidered pillow, there was a lovely round box with rosemaling that I loved.

[@judithbruno8718]

I have a similar candelabra, it is Russian

[@JanWeaves]

The spinning wheel is still at the first shop, sitting outdoors and spinning wool for knitting is very pleasant. Oh! another at the second shop!

[@knitgirl.7676]

What an awesome shop! The first thing that caught my eye was a spinning wheel! My newest favorite craft. ❤

[@juliesellars969]

I thought I spotted that too. I took up spinning during the pandemic and I love it. I have three wheels now. 😉

[@clairepayne5202]

I love your thrift store videos. When Carlos picked up the blue mixing bowl I thought "Oh that would look good in their kitchen." I hope you show us what you bought in the next SAKFAB. Much love.

[@barbarazernicke6967]

I enjoyed the trip to the thrift store. Some things that caught my eye were the hanging light fixtures and the spinning wheel. What a great shop!

[@bethduffey247]

Spinning wheel caught my eye.

[@redhen689]

Oh! I’ve been trying to learn a little Swedish. When Arne was looking at the books, I saw the word “mat” on the wall. At first I was confused. That isn’t food… then I realized they were cookbooks! LOL. I saw some figurines that looked like Swedish tomtar, and some Norwegian rosemaling. Fun stuff. I would have wanted to buy a few things there!

[@marilyn9155]

Oh how fun! A favorite pass time of mine is rummaging through flea markets and antiques shops etc. and now very interesting to see shops in another country. Ha! I already see a few things I’d love to have.. Thanks for taking me along !! It would be fun to see how you use your purchases at home Happy Easter! Marilyn D USA

[@anamarialoperaflores443]

Si seguís poniendo las palabras en Inglés es imposible suscribirse porque todos no sabemos inglés. Hay videos de gente chiná de los pueblos que tienen de todos los idiomas y así tu te enteras y ellos se benefician. Pensarlo

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you for your feedback, hopefully one day we can include other languages.

[@annschluchter2962]

Post cards! Collector here! Have embroidered ladies from foreign countries. Cards made from fabrics and wood! Old cards too!! A hundred years or more!

[@mariac4602]

I love these thrift store episodes. I find them very soothing. I enjoyed the variety of items, from textiles to books to pottery and small furniture.

[@_KarenS]

Well done to Arne for getting 'Christmas cookies' right on the first go. No hesitation, no uncertainty. 'Christmas cookies'. Done. And yes - it is ESSENTIAL to go thrift/charity shopping with a list. Lists generally are the way to go in life...

[@whatasmartpuppy]

The wood chandelier 😍

[@susiebelford9702]

For some reason I find myself drawn to the lamp shade with fringe on them.

[@helenjowett7879]

That's what I noticed too!

[@teresemarkl8877]

I liked the tea pots, ceramics and the tablecloths. Arne I grew up reading my mother's Nancy Drew Book collection.

[@suewilson3044]

Love love these thrift shopping episodes, more please!

[@lsdev4229]

I LOVED EVERYTHING! those wooden sofa and chairs were gorgeous, anything ceramic, linens...EVERYTHING!!❤🥰Sharon.

[@dorindacontreras1094]

Happiest of Easters guys! Thanks for the thrift store treat!!!! I wanted to buy the one lamp shade for my antique lamp! 😂 much love ❤ to you both!

[@colleen1770]

I love when you go to the Thrift store.

[@gilliantangen3717]

Happy Easter. Wish I could wonder through those beautiful thrift stores with you both! I loved the embroidery cloths you picked up❤

[@lydias329]

Thank you Arne & Carlos...such a treat to browse the secondhand shops in Norway....here they call them op shops....thank you to the camera 😊person too.... Happy Easter...

[@twinlights11]

At 13:28: a very interesting textile! Skånsk?... But the Arabia teapot (in good condition) would be my choice for sure.

[@joyjoyjoyfolie]

I enjoyed this so much!! The pillow!!!! I love thrift store shopping in the States!! Thank you… look forward to more!!

[@virginiahenry6761]

My sister and I love watching your videos- we really enjoyed seeing the beautiful bowls, cute gnomes and the selection of furniture and afghans in the store. Happy thrifting!

[@queva3062]

I love that white water jug for your fresh flowers Carlos --🌼🌼🌼🌱🌱🍾🍾🥂🥂, happy spring

[@asbisi]

"Is it a poodle?" "No." "Then I don´t need it." 😂"Black belt in shopping."🤣"But we never buy things we don´t need. We buy things we think we need." 😆 I used to read Nancy Drew when I was a kid. I absolutely loved those books. Somewhere along the line, the books got lost. About 15 years ago, I decided to buy some at Amazon (before I knew how horribly they treat their staff, I don´t buy from them now!). I read one, and I was disappointed, it wasn´t very good. But Arne said in another episode that some of them are bad and some are good. I will give the other four books a chance, they are just standing there in my book shelf. So funny that Arne loves those books too. You get high just looking at the covers.

[@jeaninegunn4118]

My father was Swedish and we had several sets of beautiful cups and saucers from Arabica in Finland while I was growing up in Brazil!! I loved the blue and white pieces you held up.

[@meesh209]

Best comment EVER: "... a black belt in shopping." LOL *dying!! Is there any way we can get the name of the shop or the city? Just imagine the revenue from A&C fans when they visit! btw, the hand embroidered items are my faves. The shop looks so tidy and clean.

[@jillfoster6369]

Wow, fabulous thrift shop …….. and Christmas goodies to look through ……..yay 😄

[@paige37914]

Hey Guys! 100% Beeswax candles burn longer than regular paraffin or soy candles and might work better for your votive/tea light holders 🐝🥰

[@kayblue8975]

Hi Arne and Carlos! I love thrift shopping very much, too! And I am always amazed at what beautiful things you find!! In June I will be in Trondheim! Might you know any good thrift shops there at all? Wishing you all the best! Kay

[@jans2647]

Had no idea Nancy Drew had been translated into Norwegian! Or are those in English? I too have collected them. My frugal, Norwegian-American mother gave away all my oiriginal books, many which I had bought for $1.00 witrh my saved up allowance. I replaced some with far more expensive copies decades later. Funny how attached we remain to things that remind us of our childhood!

[@eneciasabroff6616]

Happy Easter, and Happy Thrifting. Love thrift store bargain hunting and going to Flea Markets

[@barbharrington2903]

Cudos for the cool jazz pianist music at the end. The Nancy Drew books…you have rekindled my motivation to continue collecting. I’ve ten ? But have wanted to get a full collection. Thanks for being a collector. Always enjoy your teaching about a variety of things.❤😊

[@sarah-janeireland157]

Wow, such amazing stores, real Aladdin’s caves of treasures! I hope you share what you bought with us some time. I loved the embroidered cushion, I’d have snapped that little beauty up! Take care 🧶🧵🌷

[@1231234brenda]

Happy Easter!!! Compared to my area in NC, USA, this is very high end... I loved all the blue {pottery}!!!

[@evelinenauta7519]

Hi Arne & Carlos, I just discovered your KZbin channel today. I enjoyed your thrift shop video, so nice to watch on a grey day. I wish I can go thrift store shopping in Scandinavia one day. Warm regards from the Netherlands 🌷

[@streakyj2]

Nancy Drew! i really liked those books when i was a kid 🙂. ... so many blue & white ceramics! maybe your beautiful kitchen needs another shelf? :-) ...

[@gloriagrandy5146]

That Christmas afghan looks like Tunisian Crochet. Fabulous idea and it's beautiful.

[@wynnssecret8882]

Nancy Drew!..... I collect her books too, along with anything else I might see that's Nancy related👍

[@litabilotti7169]

Hi guys. I loved thrift store shopping with you. Your stores are very nicely organized and have so many treasures. I like vases and other glass things. I also like rugs but at this time, I am trying not to collect anything more, except for yarn. Happy Spring. Feliz Primavera.

[@selinab8532]

love both your shoes! ohhh i love opshop (thrift) shopping for vintage tea sets/teapots/teacups & jugs; also love vintage & antique furniture! recently bought myself some old kitchen wooden chairs, love your candle holders around your place & look forward to seeing your new addition with lit candles in your kitchen.

[@77sun222]

Hi ARNECARLOS I liked the yellow poodle😄You guys are so interesting🍀💕

[@audreyabbott7806]

Happy Easter! I am totally in love with your thrift stores! Maybe just a bit jealous, if I am totally honest. I am drawn to red & white, blue & white, or any of those colors alone. Linens, kitchenware, ironstone, pottery, garden decoration/vases, loads of vintage things, and books - always looking to add to my Nancy Drew collection. I need to take a picture and track better. I have too many to remember.

[@caronfenstermacher7763]

I love thrift store shopping. My obsession is with hand etched glassware. I, too, love needlepoint pillows. I collect Crystal vases for my flowers from my garden. I love cook books, knitting and crochet books.

[@barbarakb8847]

I have been in Europe in the past weeks-so much to catch up with! Just missed the first Sunday of the month Flea Market in Miskolc, Hungary (they were packing to go home when we got there☹️). So much to see, so much to buy!

[@cindinasveschuk9682]

Bowls… love the bowls and the pots and lovely suitcase holding the Christmas decorations!

[@stephaniesnape6787]

That was fascinating. It looked like both were good quality charity shops. Here in the UK we can them charity shops. Loved the embroidery, porcelain and linen - oh and the great traditional sweaters. Thanks

[@cathymiller7947]

The blue and white ceramics caught my eye. We have nothing like that where I live. I could spend a lot of time just looking. Thanks for taking us with you.

[@patsiefear1312]

I hope you have had a Happy Easter all of you, Arne & Carlos and the Crew. You said what caught my eye (I thrift shop often here in Brittany, France and go to Vide Greniers). I often buy unfinished embroideries and finish them or make bags from the tapestries. My eye was caught by the embroideries and textiles and as a spinner of wool I just loved the look of the spinning wheel in the shop, it would be marvellous for fine spinning of my sheeps wool. It was a lovely break to watch you whilst having a cup of tea. Keep well.

[@gisellenorbury1537]

I always love looking for jugs . I put branches in them from for all seasons. And of course linens . Ps I love everything in thrift shopping

[@anikagroen4592]

Lovely thriftstores. That beautiful blue spinning wheel. That got my eye

[@ejd52]

I love the blue and white ceramic pieces. Very pretty. But I'm in a stage of life I call "Admire, not acquire" or as my Auntie used to say: "Is it need or greed". My needs are actually few, so I tend not to shop. When I do though, I enjoy a good thrift shop. Recycling is better, especially when it benefits a good cause. When I go, I take hats I've knitted - we're at such an altitude here in the desert that people who come from downhill, need hats to keep warm at night, so I donate those - get my stash used up and practice Norwegian purling - your lessons are sinking in even for this old person.

[@brigittethebusystitcher]

Thank you for another fun video. I certainly enjoyed your trip to the thrift shop. The linen towels sure caught my eyes, particularly the tulip 🌷 cross stitched towel. It reminds me of show towels or ‘ Paradehandtücher‘. I have been collected linens since my late teens. The blue and white porcelain was beautiful too as was the coffe mill I saw. Thank you again for the fun trip!

[@johnmelissaziech6207]

So many lovely things! Loved your trip into the thrift store. When I was in Norway several years ago, the best souvenirs I found were in the thrift store in Stavanger. I found beautiful fabric, knitted sweaters & mittens (yarn spun and knitted locally) and other things that we still treasure. We were able to buy local products and support a good cause.

[@peterwhite9261]

You have some really good bargains and good quality as well. I look forward to the next thrift store. Happy Easter, guys.

[@peggybo5128]

Dear Arne, dear Carlos! When I enter a thrift store, my first thought is: so much old stuff that nobody wants anymore! But you show me what treasures can be found there, you just have to look right. I liked the blue mixing bowl, it would fit well in my kitchen.

[@ritapaul8058]

Arne. I too love Nancy Drew books! I am collecting 2 full sets for my granddaughters.

[@carolinegetman2720]

Lovely items and nicely displayed. What fun!! Most thrift shops I’ve been in are not really that good looking and have really nice items.

[@tinazanotti4974]

I watched this episode again. Did you make a Christmas thrift shop episode? I loved the embroidered pillow. Hope to see more thrift shopping.

[@francessnider7437]

So much to see! A spinning wheel (although it didn’t look like it was in working condition…), so many beautiful things. We love wandering through thrift stores!

[@ingeleonora-denouden6222]

I think I saw an old spinning wheel (while you were talking about an embroidery it was in the background, around 2:48 in the video). And that white linen with red (embroidery or woven in) I would probably have bought if I were there. At 12:54 you (Carlos) pick it up.

[@dianalindsay804]

I love blue dishes and blue glass….wish you had bought that blue mixing bowl….go back and buy it….lol..no seriously buy it.

[@sunnyw4148]

Went to my local thrift craft store yesterday. Besides the 50 cents for all the sweaters I needed for a cardigan I spied a beautiful hand made spinning wheel. Boy was it beautiful and expensive (4 figures US dollars)

[@tl4214]

I really enjoyed learning about the different items you each showed us, and how they can be used. I love finding more than the traditional use for items. I also especially love giving g life back to items that mY be antique or worn.

[@wrongwayconway]

So many pretty things. Loved the dark blue mixing bowl and the blue and white candle holder. ❤

[@barbarajanerobinson1428]

I saw several table lamps towards the end of the broadcast. One was without a shade mint green glass on a table, the other was stunning kind of hidden with a lovely matching shade in warm colors of mauve and beige. Take a look again . I love your thrift store. I love the linens and the China you showed us. What happened to that lovely white pitcher? I would love to see more . Oh that blue ceramic mixing bowl is such a good bargain you can never have enough bowls. I also love to put fruit in them. I could just picture balls of colorful yarn on it. Go back and buy it!!😊

[@nancyparis1079]

There was some very exciting stuff in both stores. Could you pick up the smaller white tablecloth with the red embroidered border? Too cute! I can pick it up and pay you back the next time we see each other.🤣🥴🤣.

[@reikiriecreations]

Happy easter. My eyes fell on an old-fashioned lap coffee bean grinder. And furthermore I thought it was far too cramped and too much. I wouldn't dare walk there with my balance disorder🤣

[@vashti-mg5yu]

Thanks for the shopping. I adore thrifting and the Swedish sugar and flour canisters were adorable.

[@oxfordsausage508]

Very inspiring. Thank you very much. Love your trips out to the local bruktbutikk 👍🏻

[@deborahalchin3360]

Hei Arne & Carlos. Your thrift store has a lovely selection. When you find the nice table lamp you are looking for, do you get the lampshade recovered or do you just purchase new? Have you ever tried to recover one yourselves? I collect old glass kerosene lamps. Happy Easter

[@pennylittle8435]

I liked those crock bowls. I have all of my and my husbands grandmother’s crock bowls and use them all the time and remember them as I use them🥰
