Kiki’s delivery service is animated film by Hayao Miyazaki and people LOVE his work.

[@d.frisco7283]

I want it!!!!

[@CollaborativeDog]

Studio Ghibli is the Japanese equivalent of Disney films, with a cult following in U.S.

[@cheryldavis8776]

Wow! Great information!

[@donnabridges5858]

Studio Ghibli print highly collectible. Kiki’s delivery service is one of their films ( anime)

[@stephanietipple8331]

It's one of my favorites!

[@sheryllangdon2110]

The one you left behind is the better of the 2 fish paintings and colorful. Pastels need to be hung or laid flat to prevent pastel dust (or sprayed lightly with fixative or hairspray to set.) You can replace the mat very inexpensively. Metal frames unscrew so easy to do.

[@susanfernandez7475]

yes! I loved the 2nd fish painting and would have reframed/rematted it for that low price!!!!

[@donnalemon5880]

Agreed, those metal frames are easy to remove and put back together.

[@yasssqueen3063]

💕Hello Ms. Karen. I’m a minimalist, but I LOVE the adventure of exploring thrift stores. There is so much history and so many treasures everywhere. I love watching your videos because I feel like I’m right there with you. Your daughter and Roger are delightful. Thank you for being so sweet and so informative. You’re definitely my KZbin friend 💕

[@lavenderclothesline]

Ohhhh how sweet!! Hello friend 💜

[@donnabrooks7783]

Hi Karen! I am a pastel artist and the fish piece is beautiful! It can be taken out of the frame and re-matted with spacers between the art and mat. Do not ever touch or have any pastel unframed to ship, it could ruin the artwork! Pastel is pure pigment and will last forever if cared for properly. Love to you and happy thrifting!

[@johnandersen8998]

I don’t see any problem rematting if the artists signature isn’t on it and it matches.

[@cheryldavis8776]

Aren't art works done in pastels usually sprayed with a fixative to keep the pigments from rubbing off and/or smearing?

[@karenkernell9405]

That pastel fish picture just needed to be removed from frame, sprayed with a fixative and put in a new mat. It was gorgeous original art.

[@lavenderclothesline]

Unfortunately with a full time ebay business and full time youtube, I don’t have time 😊

[@DisWish]

The fish artwork you picked up is EVERYTHING. I would have a hard time parting with it. Would go straight up on my walls 😅

[@debbiestyer453]

Yes the fish charcoal is wonderful.

[@cheryldavis8776]

If the smutz is only on the mat of the fish pastel, that could be replaced easily enough. If it had been me, I would have taken it.

[@jedaholmberg3211]

Kiki was a '89 movie

[@cherylmarrantclmfarm8264]

Man I wish we had a good will around here that had nice stuff like this

[@jessrouse8475]

Gotta love Karen "Not buying anymore art" literally 5 seconds later puts new art in the cart 😅😅😅 love yah Girl! ❤️

[@lavenderclothesline]

😂😂👍💜

[@conniemartin8191]

And I really wanted her to get the pastel fish print!! My mom said “message her & tell her not to leave her purse!!” I said mom people tell her that all the time!!

[@poshjunkeealexander5132]

The pastel angel fish artwork was also beautiful. The matte could have been changed easily. Wish I lived in PA- I would have bought it😊🐠

[@susanfernandez7475]

same i want that!

[@laurelvance5533]

I LOVE your down to earth way of vocalizing your thoughts. And, I'm learning from you. I plan to get involved in thrifting and flipping. 👍🏻

[@sandralouise9306]

Lots of fun and wonderful, unique finds Karen...as a non-reseller, I just love going "window shoppng" with you! :)

[@shelaghward9621]

Me too !

[@jessrouse8475]

Those nesting baskets didn't come with tops hun. I have them Walmart brand! Super cute still for a bathroom

[@lisasorce2258]

I absolutely LOVE your channel, you have such an eye for what might sell!

[@bonniehickey9978]

The fish pictures are so cool! I wonder if the pastel one could be re-matted?

[@deborahcostello8214]

Love your videos- you pick up things that I would have walked past- I'm learning so much and I think it is making me a better reseller. Thanks so much.

[@danielasanhueza2448]

Take the fish!

[@kristinstonesifer6979]

I was told by an employee at the Bins that they sell unsold items per pound to other countries. She said unsold merchandise does not go to the landfill. I was glad to hear that, if it’s true. My Bins is in New Castle DE, so not sure if Keystone Goodwill is the same.

[@elizabethwagner6516]

The geode piece was probably citrine, which is quite desirable. If a piece like that was red or blue it would be dyed, not natural. Natural colors for something like that would mostly be amethyst or citrine, or a clear or smoky gray quartz.

[@robynboegel5375]

I love watching your videos! So much fun. I gasped at the peacock sculpture! They are my favorite. I agree they wouldn’t be a great seller, but MAN, if I’d found them they’d be coming home with me. Fun to see!

[@user-on7zd8yi8g]

I know, I love the peacocks, too, for some reason

[@maggiehattan3799]

You have an amazing gift for finding quality items! In a sea of “trash” you find the gems 😂 ❤

[@jenniferbugler6499]

You can take the fish drawing out of there…it is a nice picture .

[@francymurphy2887]

I had that fan hanging on my wall for 10 years 😮😂❤

[@williamtaylor2412]

LOVE THIS

[@bluegirl777]

You were excited about the fish prints and missed the beautiful autumn painting on the right. 😍 Loved this video - so many goodies! Shopping Goodwill in January is always fun as people are cleaning out their homes!!

[@lavenderclothesline]

It’s a common print 💜

[@msb1399]

The fish!!! What a find

[@wanda4573]

Love the horses

[@tanyaterry1179]

The thread holding decorative iron is adorable.

[@riverc3171]

Good haul Miss Karen!

[@mopazo7]

Yes to the fish drawing. Great finds!

[@lrose5526]

Love that basket!

[@plaidpaisley5918]

That green glass near the Colombia cup… I have those. Just thought you’d all want to know. 😂

[@beachcitiesthrifting777]

The fans were fabulous.... great find.

[@Bravelle]

So random, I love it

I love the way you shop.

[@kimbowers3607]

Yes very impressed!

[@marybrannan8961]

Hi Karen! That iron thread box is super cute and may appeal to multiple audiences. Sewing, people who collect vintage irons, people who like folk art. Just my thoughts. Good luck selling it!

[@teresareid4798]

GREAT BUYING TRIP!!!!!!

[@janay9706]

The fish art is epic! 🐟🐠🐡 💗

[@lisagrafton2529]

Picture mats can be spray painted, to freshen them up, or change their color. It's fast and easy.

[@debishaw9355]

Karen, you just make me smile! Love thrifting with you!

[@nadiasteeby2287]

Learning a lot about what sells and what doesn’t - thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience!

[@carolynhester6827]

Love the fish pic ❤

[@annsmith4739]

[@neoanderson726]

oooh that GW is so quiet I love it

[@margiemarion9437]

Love your channel. You gave me a chuckle watching you trying to open the Santa stocking holder. I didn't know what it was either.

[@glorianelson9538]

Good to hear you enjoyed your vacation! I am waiting for you to list the curtains and linens you got before you went on vacation. Glad to see you back!

[@rosaarias7128]

i am surprised at the high prices. thanks for taking us with you virtually.

[@penelopepivots3156]

I swear I saw the shoe!😂..just after the fun fringe boots, & about when you say " I wish I could hear you guys"..the bottom shelf, next to the white shoe, was the match!😏. This was fun Karen!💞..also, BEST Kiki's Delivery Service poster I've ever seen!💞

[@grny28]

I agree...22:06.

[@carrieraupp757]

Some really nice things 😊

[@savorit11]

You could just flip the mat around on the fish picture..most likely white on the other side...great finds!

[@valeriebarris4825]

What rare finds today. Loved the peacocks and fruit bowl

[@thomascabral8443]

I love your taste as well your enthusiasm

[@lindaashmore1246]

The fish is awesome

[@firstimpressions3592]

Kiki’s Delivery Service is from a Japanese film. I think it would be desirable!

[@kellyreally]

What a fun trip, so much right off the bat!!! The large charcoal fish is just amazing!!!! Thank you for a great trip to the thrift Karen💜Lavender

[@cathyhelmuth823]

Random resells well! The Burwood MCM fans were an excellent find! Hope you had a fabulous vacation!

[@happylemonheads]

i want the iron shaped thread box for my sewing room and i agree that the black and white fish art is very good.

[@gggrandmotherannonetsy423]

Aww I so want to go thrifting today.😅Trying to focus on my death pile. Thanks for taking me along for the thrill. Love the coil basket.

[@nickilynn9096]

I live close to Gap, PA so I love your adventures and am learning where to stop during my travels around the area. I don’t sell or flip, but love to browse. Also loved your Barnyard Boys video. That sale is a hoot!

[@ivyv8184]

Hello fr the Alamo City. Glad I came across your site!

[@moladhdodhia164]

Such fun,I remember those Amish figures were expensive back in the 1990's,those might have been the cheaper painted type,so many great finds,love it all.

[@kathypersall5439]

We missed you Karen, welcome back!!!

[@susank2463]

Yes, someone would want the iron box.

[@onlyluvisreal6691]

Great haul

[@KLeonardM]

Another great one Karen....

[@phyllisnicholas2603]

I love watching your channel while having my cappuccino in the morning. I love shopping on eBay. It’s been good to me. Hello from California.

[@tonimiller8045]

Love the purse

[@brendabunnell6759]

An awesome price on the boho Lucky Brand patchwork purse

[@LindaKayHolevas]

Love, love, LOVE the fish pics. I loved the pastel & personally would’ve taken it, and just reframed it. I have large fish tanks though, so I am a “fish” person, lol. The large gold fans were also amazing! You are so fortunate to have such amazing thrifting near you! I am super happy for you 😊 xo

[@pattichulick2940]

I love those fans!!!

[@shelaghward9621]

Oh I would have definitely taken the 2nd Fish picture !!

[@dorothyrobdau7365]

Everyone agrees on how great the fish art is. Karen. You can rematt the 2nd one. I would've bought them both. So good to have you back. All recharged after Florida! ❤️

[@cateyes3629]

I can’t believe the fish prints you found! Quality! I’m an addict to paintings and prints, as well! I wanted to tell you that the Goodwills in PA (I lived in Strasburg as a kid) are amazing compared to the ones we have here in AZ. Love your channel, Karen!

[@DeeElleUU]

Those fans are fantastic! You found some great items today.

[@karenzaretski2344]

Pick up the fish! Pick up the fish!! The “fallout” of colour just means that the charcoal or pastel was not set with a spray made for these mediums. Pick up the colourful fish!!!🐠

[@melaw5]

You have such a good eye! I really liked the purse and the fans! Am looking forward to hearing more about "flipcon".

[@taniaevans1196]

Oh i love th e fish...it would look great in your new bathroom❤

[@bobbinoethlich3035]

Wow Karen you had to work your biceps 💪 today! Glad you’re home from your fun vacay!

[@holdendel]

I love the places you go to, wish I could find something good by me.

[@woodrowa5303]

The charcoal artwork of the fish is AMAZING!!! Go back for the pastel... Now!

[@MoonlightSecret1]

Oooh, I would have snagged the green Whitehall glass in a heartbeat. I’m on the lookout for green ones.

[@HH-iv6mf]

Watching you try to open the silver Santa is hysterical. Its a stocking hangar😃😃

[@brianhill6261]

Ditto on Kiki a definite pick up!!!

[@plaidpaisley5918]

Hi Karen! 🌹

[@TheCostumeJeweler]

I would hang the poster with the frame as it is because it is awesome!

[@nahmanson]

I love your videos.

[@susankenner3925]

Can’t wait for that sewing box iron to be in your eBay store!

[@imapch1]

The print at the beginning of your thrift was sold at a Seattle art boutique shop in the 80's or 90's. I had to have it because it was so unusual. It was an unnumbered print with a cheap gold plastic frame. I paid $60 back then and it was very expensive at that time when my monthly rent was $110 per month.

[@janay9706]

“Baskets with no tops and shoes with no pair”!!! I love your thrifting style! You make it fun and a treasure hunt! 🎉👏🏽💗

[@smoothsailingmp]

My family lives in Land caster, Pa. Years ago in the 1950's and maybe 1940's...The Hribals

[@brendaz9222]

Yall have the best GW stores! I have not found good ones in N. Florida like yours.

[@Hooklineandsinker145]

You have such a great eye, Karen!!I just picked up a tiny 4x6 framed watercolor, and thought of you. It led me to think about the need to start ONKY buying items that are high profit/worth my time, because I just don’t have time unless I’m running low on inventory. The shipping sometimes kills the sale, especially if I make a mistake, I find that trying to stick w flat rates, not knowing the final dimensions or the destination can be tricky. Well I was watching your vacation video, that led me to watch an old but good video of you with Melissa (what a gem she is!) and it was like 4 yrs old. I got a lot of great knowledge, I also had some health issues and take that into consideration if some things are worth dealing with. Just like Melissa, i now forego some smaller items and focus on finding the bigger items that I can make money on. That goodwill there is awesome! Packed with stuff! You do need a good eye, I’m thinking that I wouldn’t even think to look at the pastel fish, but both were awesome, i really love the one you left, just because of the colors, and it was well done, but you’re right, by time you get new matting. Etc. Time and money. Thank you for being my inspiration, and providing so much useful knowledge to learn from! I’m 1.5 years in, it diesnt support my family yet, i have a steady 700 item… getting there, I can’t even get to 1000😂
