Cleanout Reality - Not What It Seems!

[@FindsByPirjo]

Take a break and relax tonight Renee! You are right to support the local florists and also any other small businesses.

[@johnnygee4206]

Got geared up for some hiking and fishing Sunday morning. On the drive out I saw an old vintage looking Santa Claus blow mold standing out on a curb. Not something you see in early May so I figured I just scored a cool curbside freebie. I spun back around to pick it up. My fishing and hiking gear were taking up the back so I just buckled him into the front passenger seat. As I started to pull off, an older couple came shooting out the front door. The old man was waving and yelling while his wife had her phone out ready to record my "getaway". Apparently, they set Santa out there to spread a little cheer and give the neighbors a random chuckle. Fortunately, they were super nice about my mistake. Just glad they flagged me down before I pulled away. Would've hated getting chased down and potentially tased while I tried to explain to the responding officer that I didn't kidnap Santa.

[@jennilang721]

LOVED the florist story!!!🤗 We had one in our little N.Y. town. It might still be there. And when you got flowers from Doug's, the receiver knew that you were giving the best, as they were the more expensive of the local florists.💖

[@PaperandMoose]

I've tried a few different online flower services and all have been pretty disappointing. As a few other viewers stated, I'm better off now going to the grocery store and buying a bouquet.

@@PaperandMoose yes, that's so true. I even purchased some Venus Ecuadorian roses for someone as a ty hostess gift, AND THEY SUCKED!!! I only got the mini box set for her, because I had a $99 budget, but they were super disappointing!!! As have the other online florists been. I find that it's best if I just put together my own.

You made a commitment about not fighting over the light fixture, has there been some added stress due to your helping with cleaning out the attic. If it is please don't let it get you down.

Thank you for this video and taking the time to share this adventure with us. Lots of love from Denmark 🇩🇰😉

Hi Renee, I’ve been doing an attic clean out as well. My advice - wear a mask! Not because of the pandemic, but because of the dust and fiberglass and other nasties up there.

[@brianh.9268]

Hi Renee, I had two multi-generation family clean outs-I became very familiar where the cardboard, styrofoam and other recyclables could be dropped off in our area. Not necessarily a fun chore, but it has motivated me to downsize and not put it on the people left behind. Stay safe and be well. Best, Brian

Thank you so much for taking us up to this attic!! It truly is exciting seeing all the different things you do!! I am always anticipating what you will find next.

The winking Santa, they have a winking Santa too with the Coke Cola advertisement too I believe?? Yes what a big difference on your organizing nice and clean when you first started I felt your anxiety hehehe. Definitely alot of memories in there, my Aunt had a storage room full of goodies, her and I would sort and go through all her things that was so much fun and she would give me something at the end of it all, I think she just did that because she knew I loved all her precious junk and collectibles was so much fun as a kid took us hours but we would have tea and juice breaks and chat...so now being an adult I too have a storage place for all my goodies too...I need to pass that down to the next generation too!!

[@IamSnowbird]

In the late 70"s my husband and I went to ceramics every week. We still have a few pieces left including a cake plate and a Converse planter. I gave a lot of my stuff away as gifts. It was a fun time. I bought my grandson 2 vintage Hess trucks at an antique mall for $10 each. He LOVES them.

Thank you for your words about flower shops. My husband and I have one and business is smaller every year. His parents started it in 1948 and we took over in 1977. Teleflora and FTD compete against us and charge us high fees for being members. Hence a lot of florist drop out of the wire services. Thanks again. We appreciate our customers and people who want service!

[@elainehelms4076]

Joan Whitley They use local florists though, right? They aren’t some alternate place that sends flowers. They take the order and then place it with a florist who is local to the person receiving the arrangement. I always thought that their arrangements were less nice because they kept some of the money they charged and the florist had less to work with. I try to look up a florist who is local when I am sending something out of town and let them help me choose the arrangement. It’s always nicer that way. I didn’t know they charged the florist to be in the network but I guess that makes sense. The internet makes it easier to locate a florist close to the person you are sending to so I hope that means fewer people will use them but folks are lazy.

[@PaperandMoose]

I loved going to the local florist and looking in their cooler and seeing all of the arrangements. They had shelves filled with a variety of vases and could easily put together anything in a matter of a few minutes, but it was always quality and done with care. The smell inside was one I'll never forget and just the kindness of the family that owned the shop was something that made you go back, even if just for a small bouquet. I'm sure that your regular customers appreciate you and the service you provide!

[@whitleyrj]

Elaine Helms I’m glad you look for florists. Always look for a physical address . The 1 800 numbers are a roll over service and they call florist s. And the customer pays a lot more money to the service !

[@trishallain6503]

Renee, I've been a florist for over 40 years. And you are absolutely right that your local florist will usually bend over backwards to please their customers. 1800flowers is notorious for asking for the world for 9.99. They don't collect money for tax and delivery costs. In fact most florists won't even accept orders from 1800flowers. If you want better service go on line and find a florist in the area you want to send it to. Call that florist in that area directly. Give as much notice as possible ( If it's a holiday or birthday, Anniversary give at least a week, especially if you are asking for certain flowers or colors. Illnesses, births and funerals you can't anticipate when they will happen, so go with color schemes such as masculine colors, or maybe, " Her favorite colors were pinks and purples, etc. The florist can tell you how much their arrangements start at and go up from there. They will also tell you how much delivery cost and tax is. When you allow a designer to be creative, and maybe a color scheme, and a decent amount of money you will be much much happier. But if you pick roses, and lilies, lilacs, etc especially during holiday time you will not be happy. Because what Can be made here in Maine for 50.00+delivery and tax. You absolutely will not get anything in N.Y. or L.A., etc. P.S. you will need a credit or debit card if you call directly

Paper and Moose the variety was Gros Michel- “Big Mike”. They were sweeter and were gooey in the center. The were much larger and thick skinned. Funny, but artificial banana flavoring comes closer to the real flavor. A fungus wiped them out by the middle to end of the 1960s. They were replaced by the Cavendish banana, but I think this has been altered since then.
