Hello Joanne Great haul like always. To clean coffee pot use ice cubes and salt . Swirl around the pot. It works wanders. This is what they use in restaurants. My favorite is cigar box and book. Hugs and have a awesome week. 😊😊😊😊😊

[@kathybeck5957]

So many WONDERFUL things!!!Can't wait to see how you craft and decorate your daughter's room. I love the cigar box. What glorious fun I'd have with the inside of it. Love and Hugs!!!

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

Yes, I bet you would have a lot of fun with the cigar box. Love ya.

Isn't he great. Hugs.

What fun! To have a project to thrift for.❤️🇨🇦

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

It really is! Hugs.

[@2002France1]

I loved the teapot, I’ve never seen one like it. I can’t wait to see the completed room. Your top is a nice color on you.

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

Thank you so much! Hugs.

[@jillhogan2611]

My favorites are the wonderful pheasant & the very colorful nesting doll🥰

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

Great choices. Hugs.

[@itzasunnyday4me]

My favorite item you found for the room ithe steps. Perfectly on theme and will be so useful. This room is going to be amazing. I have a small collection of Annalee dolls, so I love the one you found. And I also have several Babushka dolls. They are so fun to display.

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

I knew the netting doll had a special name, thanks for reminding me of what it was. Hugs.

[@sylvialangworthy1435]

Like the metal pheasant, the Ana Lee and the glass cloche with the red bottom! You are certainly finding some great pieces for Kaitlyn's library room. Take care Joanne, be cool. 🤗

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

Thanks so much, Sylvia. I am having fun hunting for just the right pieces for the room. I hope she lets me do another room. Keep cool. Hugs.

[@MsJet1]

Love all the treasures!

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

Thanks! Hugs.

[@theweatheredfencepost]

I love the Pheasant. It really is fantastic. The Santa with the mini Santa's is so cute. Just a reminder I have the Brandy Snifters in the booth at Gresham. Can't wait to see what you found at the Bins!❤😊

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

I think I am going to go with whiskey glasses instead. Whiskey and good book go together too, I think. I hope to have the bins video up soon. Hugs.

[@maryhorn3036]

I love your dark academia picks. I have a small collection of it that I display all through the fall season . You could rub n buff the skull head and make it bronze, it would look amazing. Use the cigar box to put the brandy sniffers on along with the decanter next to it. Have fun with it, you can go crazy , it's a great decor style.

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

Fingers crossed I do the style justice. Hugs.

[@sandraholeman1708]

Hi Joanne, my favorites today are the metal pheasant and the darling Anna Lee ❣️❣️❣️Great video, looking forward to more DA items, this is really interesting. Take care, hugs to the fur babies and stay “cool” 😊❤

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

Thanks so much, Sandra. This is such fun. Hugs from my crew.

[@afolsom685]

Hi Joanne. If you're going to paint the white wire basket you could also remove the handle,turn it upside down get a light fixtures kit and make it into a light fixture. Just a thought. Have fun with Kaitlin's guest room/ library.

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

I think that would be great however, every room in her new place has ceiling fans and she won't let me touch them. Darn. Hugs.

[@thelmaoultram24]

My favourites are the cloches and the urn/vase I can see that with dark grapes spilling over the sides.I think I’m with Caitlin on the skull unless you paint it in a solid colour getting rid of the features I don’t think I would like to be sitting in the library with him!!!!Another great haul thanks for sharing

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

He can be the guard skull LOL. Once I tone him down a bit, we'll see how he comes out. If she still doesn't like him, I'll sell him in my booth at Halloween. Hugs.

[@amystoll187]

Hi Joanne! You got some great stuff!! I'm pretty sure what you're looking for are Brandy SNIFTERS. My favorite piece is the urn. So pretty! The nesting dolls are pretty cute too!! Thank you for sharing. ❤

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

Yep, you are right about the glasses for brandy. My bad. Hugs.

[@vickimadsen3739]

My sister and I are on a cloche kick! So my favorite is the red glass bottomed cloche.

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

It is a pretty piece and something that I haven't seen before.

[@SassySue67]

My favorite is the pheasant. Great items for Kaitlyn’s room.

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

Thanks so much. Hugs.

[@elizabethdoherty4016]

Love the tea pot also

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

Someone told me it is a coffee pot percolator. Who knew. Hugs.

[@user-sv8xh7mi7y]

Love the new hair style. 1st comment ever but have watched you for several years and enjoy your thrifting.

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

Thank you so much. I really like the cut, but it is a little too short. Next time, same cut just a little longer. Thanks so much for commenting and for watching. Hugs.

[@georgannenelson105]

I like the uranium glass and the nesting doll. I have a small collection of both. They are small because I never find them in thrift stores around here.

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

Cool. I love uranium glass. That glow never gets old. Hugs.

[@candacegaylord2543]

My fav is the Santa. I think those are eleves inside.

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

Could be. Hugs.

[@marleybedford8628]

Bleach will clean the coffee pot, add boiling water to fill and let stand. Rinse well afterwards. I love dark academia styling. I like the step stool. I’m short. My parents would have a fit if anyone attempted to clean the tannin stain out of the teapot. Here in Australia, many people believe that it makes the tea taste much better as the pot is “seasoned.” Also, the milk must always go in the cup first. You should see the man in my life’s old tin tea cup. 😂😂❤

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

I tried the bleach because nothing else was working and the bleach worked! Thanks so much. Hugs.

[@RebaVinson]

Love the Annalee

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

Lots of folks collect them. Hugs.

[@cyndaarce6986]

My favorite is the green glass dish.

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

Fingers crossed that it glows. Hugs.

[@macepolk5281]

Hi, my favorite this time is the pheasant

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

I was so lucky to have found that piece. Hugs.

[@khausser5668]

The Santa with the elfs inside should have had a small ball along with it for a bowling ball game That is my favorite.

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

Oh, darn, he is missing some parts. Thanks for letting me know. Hugs.

[@khausser5668]

@@batthriftcrazy1959 someone will love it just to display it it very cute. Just an FYI. Have a nice day!

[@barbaradeweese2078]

I love the tea pot different. Have a great week Joanne ❤❤

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

Thanks. Hope you have a great week too. Hugs.

I love Sarah Young!!!

Me too. Hugs.

[@cynthiaamitrano8915]

Brandy snifter. Put a short used drippy candle in the amber glass decanter. You should have picked up the matching candlestick the glass chimneys do not need to match. What does it say on the bottom of the teapot? Not a fan of skull. Sell it at your booth. Pothos is aka philodendron or a white and green variegated one is a devil’s ivy. It’s a bit more delicate. All prefer bright indirect light. The more light, the more white will appear in the plant. Do not place in a window, but near a window. I have a giant container of starts from different varieties. I’ll send you pictures of hearty plants which require light, but only indirectly. The further away from light source, the more spindly and weak they become. I love those dog stairs. Jack doesn’t use his any longer because he is totally blind. I love those Corning coffee pots. I had one with the Spice of Life design or another that had earthy tones. There was a recall on them years ago because the metal band would suddenly pop off and the handler would be severely burned by hot, even boiling coffee. They haven’t made them since. I remember those pots, mine was the larger one, were relatively expensive at the time. Corning offered you a credit or refund and I think it was like $2.00. What a joke. I used mine very rarely after that and disposed of it at some point. I rarely drank coffee back then anyway and usually only if I went out to eat. I didn’t make it at home.

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

Any plants in the room will be faux. Like I said, Kaitlin has my brown thumb and is bad with live plants. I have started to find the perfect dried plants for the amber glass vase. Hugs.

[@debclark4512]

The more you described DA , the Adam's family came to mind...just need thing. Lol

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

LOL, maybe not that dark. Hugs.

[@nancyrobertson2764]

When I saw the cigar box, for some reason steam punk popped into my head. I Googled Dark Academia, and wondered if Katelyn would like steam punk touches in her room. My son's friend from his freshman year, was into steam punk.

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

That would make a nice touch. I will ask her. Hugs.

[@CarolinaPrincess-STP]

It’s coming together!

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

Hunting for specific pieces is turning out to be fun. Hugs.

[@user-sv8xh7mi7y]

My favorite thing is the set of stairs.my “opinion” is you can do better for a waste basket. Scull is not my thing, but I will wait and see how you style it😊

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

I like using thing other than for their intended purpose. I think it will work great as a trash bin. Hugs.

[@cheryllatimer164]

My favorites are the metal pheasant and frame from the DA. The rest of the video is Ana Lee and uranium glass bowl

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

Great choices. Hugs.

[@dollygresh4415]

You’re a great mom.

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

That is so nice of you to say. Thank you, Dolly. Hugs.

[@LocustIvy]

Corningware coffee pot. I have had luck using auto dishwasher detergent to soak overnight.

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

I can try that if BKF or the salt doesn't work. Thanks. Hugs.

[@maryholeton9753]

the green dish looks like it would be a great banana split dish, also you could try and make a library ladder might be cheaper than buying one. Its something i would try lol Hugs

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

Yes, but the ladder needs to roll from bookcase to bookcase with special hardware which you need to buy. If I could make it, I would. Hugs.

[@trinasyoutube]

5:35 dried roses would look good or something simple like eucalyptus stems 21:01 acorns will be great for fall

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

Yes, those would be perfect. Hugs.

[@sharonmakowsky172]

Hi, Joanne! You found some great things for Katelyn! I’m sure she will really appreciate them. Hope the fur babies are doing well. Hugs to all!🥰👍💜🐈‍⬛

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

Everyone is doing great, thanks. My crew sends hugs.

[@judyparks5016]

This is naughty I know but... When you held up the Christmas elf toward the end, I burst out laughing The tinsel was hanging down from his waist. It gave him a hairy area between his legs. Lol I know thats tacky of me but I needed a laugh after this sad weekend. 🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸🙏

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

Oh gosh, now I have to go back and re-watch that part of the video. I could use a good laugh myself. Hugs.

[@marygough6554]

I have read that the dark academia vibe can be compared to the look and feel of old European university libraries.

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

That sounds like a good way to describe it. Hugs.

[@maggiepatrick892]

I boil my tea pan with baking soda and water to remove stains if all else fails!

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

Thanks for the tip! Hugs.

[@user-mk9us3ny2q]

Nice stuff for your daughter. I can't wait to see the final look. It will be grand. What fun to look for items for that room. Love the Ana Lee, Christmas will be her before we know it. Love all the little Santa's. Your hair is just lovely, you always look so nice. Hugs to you and the fur babies. Take careband keep cool 😎

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

I am enjoying thrifting 'with a purpose'. Thank for your kind words. Hugs from my crew.

[@joycejohnson535]

My favorite is the doll with different sizes. I used to have one when I was a kid.

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

I understand they are pretty collectable. Hugs.

[@LocustIvy]

I wouldn’t remove the decal on the Evan Williams bottle.

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

It's all staying. Hugs.

So glad you enjoyed! Hugs.

[@adrianagerdsen7602]

I love Dark Academia decor ! Nice finds .

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

Thank you! 😊 Hugs.

[@aimeejacobi4263]

I really like the closh with the red glass bottom.

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

First time I have found one like that. Hugs.

[@kellydowney2100]

Awesome items 😊Favorite the pheasant 😊

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

That pheasant was such a lucky find. Hugs.

[@judyparks5016]

My favorite item is. The same as you. It is perfect. Now this is just my opinion, but I wouldn't use the wire basket in her room. It needs, again just my opinion, a dark leather or faux covering or just a deep color. A coat of arms of such, would look great. You know these rooms in the 50s and 60s etc. were men's office/ library but called their den. That is of course later the men's den was changed and den became what was livingroom. The great room and family room. Sorry I didn't mean to write a book. I always watch and hit "like" , but hardly ever comment. Ha ha

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

I think once painted black; the wire basket will be a great first trash bin. I do like your ideas and can look for something like. Thanks for your thoughts. Hugs.

Hi Joanne! The glasses you are looking for are called brandy SNIFTERS 😁👍❤

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

I was close LOL! Thanks. Hugs.

[@eunicenield9631]

I think what you're calling a teapot looks more like a coffee dripolator.

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

Thanks. Someone else said the same thing. Hugs.

[@delmorrow896]

They’re called brandy snifters, with a “t” in the middle. An old pocket watch with a watch chain would look great in the smaller cloche. My favorite from the Dark Academia is the cigar box. And from the home dec items, I like the acorn shakers. Hugs!

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

Thanks, Del. I am on the hunt for a pocket watch. Yes, you are right, it would look great in the cloche. Hugs.

[@SassySue67]

@@batthriftcrazy1959Joanne, does the pocket watch have to be working,or is it just for decor?

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

I think someone added the drip top of a coffee pot doesn’t belong on the tea pot

[@gaylemorganson2697]

Agree

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

Someone told me it was a coffee pot dripolator. I don't know. I will have to do a Google imagine search on it. Hugs.

Kaitlin would never go for that, plus I am not a fan of spiders. Hugs.

[@user-sv8xh7mi7y]

Have the room wall colors been decided yet?

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

She is thinking about a shade of blue, perhaps navy. She does like blue and does have blue in many of her other rooms so that may work well. Thanks for asking. Hugs.

[@jessicagrimsland7337]

What stores did you go to to get these items ?

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

If I remember correctly, a Goodwill, North Raleigh Ministeries near the post office off of Capital Blvd, Cause for Paws behind Red Lobster off of Falls of Neuse and there may have been others that I just can't remember. Hugs.
