I wonder if managers/employees realize that thrifting vlogs is a reason why some have been turned on to thrifting at all. 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@tmyershandmade978]

Good point!!!!🥰🥰🥰

[@jnak974]

Naaaaw, I say she was doing a good job by asking cuz’ you never know if a employee is getting harassed or what not. Noooow if everything was explained and she still tripping, that’s not swag.

Nice video, I cant wait to see what your going to make with your thrifted finds. You’ve taught me well. I go to those same areas and would have picked the same things you selected. Please keep the videos coming you are a delight to watch. I love your style in designing and how you make it look so easy. Went to an Estate sell yesterday and bought every vintage doily they had spent 39.50 and got 2 white lace table clothes, 1 bed duster, the rest were doilies @ 1.00 each and 2 for 1.00. I felt I hit the lottery. So I then came home and cleaned the dust off the sewing machine. Now what to make first???? Thank you so much for all you do.

[@tmyershandmade978]

Thank you so much!Your estate sale sounded awesome! I would have bought all that lace, too! Let me know what you end up making💞💞💞💞

[@donnajoseph2004]

How fun to watch you shop! My husband and I spent almost all day today at an estate sale where the owner had an antique store. I live in the Northeast and we have lots of Victorian stuff. I bought a ton of very old linens, lace & doilies. I have been collecting, cleaning, repairing and selling them for about 25 years. I love them. I also love to sew stuff with them. My goal is to try to move past the whites/creams/tans, sort of shabby chic style, and move to boho. A real challenge for me to get past the confusion in my head that exist when I think about combining all these different colors, styles etc... But being a child of the 60's, it really shouldn't be so hard for me. When I was buying stuff today, I asked myself...."would Tracy buy that"?

[@tmyershandmade978]

Awww I love that soooo much! I love estate sales!!🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@BumblingBee-xm4dy]

[@carolynpotchik1331]

Love your videos! Have done a little upcycling for myself. However being a plus size they don’t always flatter my body. Lol! Have you ever done a video on plus size upcycles for your shop? Your work is so creative and inspiring.

[@tmyershandmade978]

I haven't specifically done one for plus size, but they all can be converted to plus by purchasing plus size. 🤗💞💞💞

When I go, Thrifting in Wisconsin, I never find much. I’m always surprised at how little I find but the prices are always better than Illinois. I did, however, spend some time in Texas and oh do I ever love Texas resale shops! Texas is the best!

[@seamsewfine]

Loved shopping with you, you had a really great second haul! Not that I would've put anything back lol. We have several Goodwill stores around here, but not as good as yours. I plan to go out again in a few weeks and try farther upstate. I had saved things from my mommy and daddy to upcycle their clothes into different items. I have a box of shirts that will be bears. Daddy had some really nice suede sports coats that I plan to try out bags.Also going to use a large bag of jewelry mommy had. Thank you so much for the inspiration,truly!

[@bewitchedmunster]

You’re Goodwill store has much better prices than ours in Washington State! Most clothing items start at $7.99 & they’ve been slowly removing & changing special sales they used to have. All items in the stores have gone up. Makes it difficult, for me, to choose & purchase an item for deconstruction & upcycling.

[@tmyershandmade978]

I hear that often, it's a shame🤗💖💖💖

[@downtime86stars17]

Plus they drove Value Village out so Goodwill basically has a monopoly.
