Buying STRANGE THINGS..breaking the rules...Thrift with Me!

[@podrosie5059]

I heat tape up with my blow dryer on just warm heat and it comes off a lot easier. Karen, you have made your channel. If you were boring, we wouldn't watch. You are popular because of YOU so be proud of that. I know you appreciate the audience but you deserve nearly all the credit!

[@LindaKayHolevas]

I agree! Karen’s personality is what makes the channel! She makes it so much fun! 😊❤

[@ellenmcdonald6805]

I had mentioned on another video that I love how calming her voice is. ❤

[@elizabethwright1201]

LOVE McKenzie-Childs! I have yet to find anything “in the wild,” but I’ll keep looking!

[@Tradingwithtrish]

What you thought was a powder shaker could be a hat pin holder??Maybe😊

[@vlrissolo]

Karen, Nick Lewis here on KZbin say Victorian decor is back for 2025!!! My favorite! Those bowls you ( and I) love, may be worth buying up!!! I think of many of my Victorian items as "romantic" when I describe them.... a new description word😁❤👍

[@AnneSmith-mu2ph]

Hi Karen a Roger ! We love watching your channel,you deserve 100k followers.You have worked so hard to get where you are lv Ann uk ❤️❤️❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@neoanderson726]

oh yeah nostalgia sells sometimes I have a difficult time selling my old stuff because I all the " feelings" from yesteryear attched to them

[@ellenmcdonald6805]

I love the old door! As a little girl, we visited Salem Massachusetts. I remember them saying that the door has a cross on the top and a Bible on the bottom. My memory stinks but for some reason, I always have remembered that fact. The door has a cross on it, which I love. Always enjoy your videos. You deserve 100,000 followers so I hope you get it soon. 💗💗💗

[@attic2market8]

Chipmunks 🐿️ ❤

[@janhaley1212]

I have a warm feeling when I see an old child’s rocking chair. My chair from when I was 3 was a high back black tole painted with gold designs on it. It broke when the legs came off in the joints. I came home from college to find that my mother had it repaired and refinished. Under the paint was walnut wood. It’s beautiful! There it sat in my mom’s living room with a teddy bear sitting in the rocker. It was for little people who came to visit my mom for many years. I got it after my mom passed. It proudly sits in my living room now. Always ready for another little person comes to visit me. It’s priceless.

[@Pam-q9m]

Congratulations! “The hardest working woman in thrifting and flipping.” 👏🏻🏆

[@BBBang-s9q]

Agree! I can't believe she has accomplished so much at her age with all the enthusiasm and energy! I am much younger than her, and I can't even compare the workload I have done to her. Just amazing hardworking model for any one of us❤😂

[@lavenderclothesline]

Oh, you are so sweet! 💜

[@elizabethwright1201]

I think Peter Rabbit will start trending again because the Millennials are having babies and Beatrix Potter/Peter Rabbit was all the rage in the 90s. Plus, Beatrix Potter fits the cottage core/shabby chic aesthetic 🐣🐰

[@jeanlavergne9725]

Those are CHIPMUNKS not squirrels. And yes, we DO love chipmunks!❤

[@kaye8231]

The Chip ‘n’ Dale figures were adorable.

[@acupoftea8371]

The small 'shaker' 22:55 looks like the flowers may be? apple blossom and consider that it could even be a "sugar" shaker, porcelain. (Look up sugar shakers).. which were very popular in the 1930's to 1950's , often see them used in the UK

[@vlrissolo]

I had that clock in my 1st home. I was so proud to buy a home by myself! I STILL have the clock and it still works! I'm 3 homes later! That must have been the late 80s!

[@maryellenp5468]

There was another wood door on the next isle bottom shelf.

[@HRHQueenAngelita]

Your reasoning is priceless we’re privileged to have someone like you as our guide you’ve taught me so much about value….. love you Princess ❤ I’m an artist so Art means so much to me it’s part of someone’s body and soul ❤❤

[@mythoughts4975]

I always enjoy her reasoning very much. I can listen to her talk all day pretty much.

[@sarahrubin8009]

The “powder shaker” with no plug is a hair pin holder! Great pick ups today! Enjoy your videos so much! Have learned so much from you-Thank you!!!

[@lesliespradley8897]

That old door was amazing It would look gorgeous on a shelf or mantle just as is . Staged with vtg white pitcher or pottery or just stacking some white cups or dishes in front of it . I would think it would sell as is without adding anything to it , at least here in California. We don’t come across pieces like that here very often.

[@janhaley1212]

I think you should have bought the door and sold it in your shop as is. Someone would have a plan for it.

[@historyjules9326]

There was a second one on the other side of the shelf. Next aisle.

[@tinaranson6172]

Thank you Karen! I appreciate you too!

[@taurusangel2553]

Hi Karen, Hi Roger. I like watching the thumbs up number go up while watching your video!! :)

[@LindaKayHolevas]

Me, too!! 😊

[@maryyoder7789]

The large powder shaker thing. I thought I saw ladies keeping hat pins in them? I could be wrong!!!

[@melissapogue7928]

Wondering when I’m going to run into my future husband at Goodwill, 😂 I’m not seeing it!!😂 I was so happy to find brand new Love shack Fancy pajamas today!! I snatched them so fast!!

[@Willsreclaimedvintage]

I just gifted my mom that same vase 3:22 I paid 8 bucks no way I was shipping that!!

[@joykelly6349]

Love your video's You do an amazing job .Love how cute you and Roger are together.

[@lindabullock6159]

Love your channel Karen. The corks are used in crafts. 150 sold for $15 on EBay. For some if us Beatrix Potter is always in. Lots of us collectors out there.❤

[@valeriek4051]

Vase wasn’t damaged on Sunday when I was there. Too bad someone dinged it!

[@janhaley1212]

Similar to plate holders for a shelf, they make holders for bowls. I have a beautiful bowl in my secretary on a bowl holder. So yes bowls can be displayed nicely. I liked the yellow and green bowl/plate you said was mass produced. I have a large hand done map of Iowa on my living room wall. It was done in the late 1970’s in color with towns along with drawings of what the town is known for. It’s priceless to me since I’m from there. Very colorful too.

[@suekrebs3497]

Thank you for another enjoyable video! I always look forward to watching your videos. I have learned so much from you!

[@rosavargas539]

We love you too❤❤❤ thanks for bringing us along for the journey. Question what’s your home ascetics it so pretty😮

[@robintohmauten717]

You can use a hairdryer on the tape it will release the tape without causing damage then use an alcohol wipe to get rid of any leftover residue.

[@donnae2445]

I was having a bad cold day, nice to have your video to look forward to. Thanks!

[@SB-ls2vp]

I love the door!!

[@bettycombs3616]

I stopped by your booth, but unfortunately you weren’t there, but I still felt like I was visiting a celebrity! We were visiting from Virginia

[@DonnaLipka]

Karen, some of us drink that much wine! Over a period of time! Lol

[@sarahrubin8009]

Cheers!!!

[@janekopa9297]

I love you and Roger. You are an inspiration. Still sitting on my arse thinking about doing this. Terrified of figuring out shipping costs and shipping methods.

[@maryyoder7789]

I just saw a thrifter post the largest Goodwill in Florida is in Orlando on Orange Blossom trail. Might have to check that out!?

[@terriebuys4052]

That is very true! And it is fabulous! I live just 7 miles from that store and I am so lucky. I go at least 3 times a week!

[@heatherhoffman9719]

Poor dear yes you had a boo boo from shelf dropsy! We love your channel and he conversations with us! :)) Chip monks like chip and dale, sorry not squirrels. Those deer had their manni petti done well! i tell all my friends about your channel!

[@andreaschmall5560]

You mean chipmunks..right?

[@CarolynHester-lr4tn]

You did good buying the odd pottery so very cool😊

[@lorettafoster783]

The powder shaker could ask be a holder for hat pins.

[@holdendel]

You could use that small door as a tray.

[@janiceallard2108]

FAO in FAO Schwartz stands for Frederick August Otto. Little piece of trivia. LOL

[@squirrellytales3604]

Guten Morgen! Lots of nice treasures today. God bless you. Greetings from Lake Arrowhead. 💜🦝

[@kristivanselow9217]

I loved that black tole tray.

[@shygirl-vg9re]

Karen, happy 2025 to you, and know that you and Roger have earned your own success. Also, it's your stories that are entertaining not necessarily ours. You also hope for our success and offer such great information to us. Your enthusiasm, happy nature is your assets. Thanks to you both.

[@lynnglynn721]

Aren't those chipmunks and not squirrels? ❤

[@johnandcathywhite5785]

Chocolate pots have a high spout, teapots are short and fat, coffeepots are taller.

[@carolpanzarella5897]

Those squirrels were chipmunks. LOL I hope you make your goal of 100,000 this year!! I think the flowered item with the holes in the top might be a muffiner. Oh no!! Go back and get the trunk!!!

[@jaynebowden2136]

Hi Karen , there should be a little door at the end of the wooden incense box , were you can keep your incense sticks xx 😊

[@historyjules9326]

I have been an art reseller for 35 years. Works like the map are better sold unframed. Otherwise the buyer assumes the worst condition.

[@kathedavis5818]

Joe Smith in Italian might be Giuseppe Fabbro. Just having fun, have a great day

[@marilynegli1779]

That coin sorter is amazing 🤩

[@bereatha1]

Hi Karen, that Turkey plater sales for really good money on Ebay and Etsy.

[@andreaschmall5560]

A wooden vase can be used for dried flowers so glass inside would not be necessary.

[@donnae2445]

That map is fabulous

[@janeffersaylorfrench4391]

Hat pin holder,Karen...the larger shaker.

[@Willsreclaimedvintage]

Hello Karen and Roger 😊

[@holdendel]

Too bad about that vase, it looked beautiful. You and Rodger keep up the fun times bring us along.

[@KLeonardM]

Very interesting video today Karen.

[@gggrandmotherannonetsy423]

Congrats on the 90k subscribers. As for the incense holder, check the narrow end of the box, I believe there is a slide out tray to hold incense sticks. Always impressed with what you find thrifting.

[@cathyhelmuth823]

Hairpin holder

[@deborahstone9696]

Those are chipmunks sweetheart. In Canada they come right up to you.😅❤❤

[@rosasauceda6041]

You should see the prices at my Goodwill in Brownsville TX; some used plush are tagged at $8.50. Super high prices over here.

[@marilynegli1779]

Were any of the squirrels flying squirrels? I’m looking for one for my granddaughter.

[@deborahstone9696]

It was chipmunks hun. ❤😂

[@EFCasual]

Beers atlas pages are typically 40 and up, obviously more for popular locations. They are hand watercolored and lettered. The complete atlas are over 500, 200 for a modern facsimile edition.

[@rhondatemple-lf1bn]

Great video! You are so knowledgeable! I love your channel! ❤😊😊

[@kirstenscholz4482]

Hello and good evening 🙂

[@kaye8231]

I was hoping you’d check out the porcelain mallard beneath the FAO Schwartz doll.

[@annillig3648]

We enjoyed watching your journey, too! Finding the love of your life was so special. I know you’ll hit 100,000 🎉 You worked so hard to get here. I wish I wasn’t disabled because I would do this as a living, too. Spent most of my life going to tag sales every weekend and never thought to resell. You gave me that desire, but it’s too late, now. I pretend selling through your videos. Thank you. ❤ Wishing you and Roger a wonderful and healthy new year. 😊 Can you let us know how your booth is doing? Is it profitable?

[@debbiekennedy6030]

The apples make good teacher gifts.

[@LindaKayHolevas]

I had to chuckle at this comment because my mom taught first grade for 35 years & received so many apples over the course of her career. While she was grateful for the thought behind the gift, she always said if she received one more apple, she would have an orchard. I learned from her that the best gifts for a teacher are gift cards to coffee places. 😊

[@deborahklaus9013]

I would use that infuser

[@janearuin6834]

It’s not a squirrel, it’s chipmunk

[@neoanderson726]

olde thompson is my pepper mill ... I had 2 william bounds but they were worth selling so I sold thenm

[@neoanderson726]

they will come back into fashion again ... trends go round in circles

[@bettycombs3616]

I stopped by your booth, but unfortunately you weren’t there, but I still felt like I was visiting a celebrity!

[@valeriejewell2015]

I love a good squirrel, but those were chipmonks.........

[@valeriejewell2015]

perhaps chipmunks, yeah, I fixed it!

[@zeegervanroemburg9146]

Lovely couple❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@joycehalstead]

Love the video ❤❤❤

[@kareneachus8630]

Goodwill gets everything donated to them for zero cost. It’s amazing that they think they can charge prices on things that you would pay at a consignment shop.

[@jedaholmberg3211]

Haha...you are hooked to the $$$$ not the artwork,be honest!!🤗

[@EllenDingler]

I love weird pottery.

[@prepper1024]

Actually, a lot of people such as me, are discontinuing the use of tea bags. Due to the use of plastic in the bags, releasing micro plastics into the body.

[@B-24Liberator]

The door looked like a cross to me.

[@Robin-gf7bd]

I have a 1800-something map of London sitting in my death pile.

[@LauraKagawa-wf3gp]

Hi Karen and Roger! I’m a new subscriber and love your videos! I also sell on eBay so your videos are so helpful! You can never stop learning in this businesss! Do your Goodwills have a senior discount? I’m from IL and the Goodwills near me offer a 25% discount (age 55+) on Wednesday. The discount can’t be used if you have a color tag sale item, so all other color tags are 25% off. Have a great day!! Laura

[@patriciacrowley1102]

😊

[@peggyr2984]

I was struck by the cross form on the door. Do you suppose that might be a clue to the origin?

[@rosavargas539]

I use all my good dishes all the time , pull all my fancy things out just for butter and toast , kids and hubs thinks I’m crazy but why save it for it to be donated when I pass😢 these kids don’t want any of this items nowadays , nope I’m enjoying all my stuff now, even if I hand wash it all later kicking myself for it😂😂😂 you only live once

[@cynthiaerickson56]

Darn not sure when this video came out but I searched you eBay store for that hummingbird Lenox figurine and couldn’t find it

[@EFCasual]

Check tomorrow, maybe the next day.

[@BB-ej9hk]

So, when the ebay customer told you not to ship the frames, I hope you didn't throw them out!

[@peggysiler4626]

Karen I think strange does sell. Lol Just go for it

[@kaye8231]

You might’ve picked up a sugar shaker!

[@judijudd2129]

Soak in water for a few seconds and tape falls off 👍

[@AurorasJournals]

❤❤❤❤

[@adelaidesocki3595]

I love it when you complain about art…then SCORE!

[@susanling9386]

I need a infuser for a probiotic cold tea product I purchased.

[@sandispady9058]

Chipmunks!!!

It looks intentionally bad by a very good artist. The eyes are just too perfect 😂
