I’m literally so so so excited to see your home completed. I know people say that Joann Gains is their “spirit animal” but I pick you !! Love your creativity and style

[@lindaga820]

Jennifer, I totally agree !! So glad I found McKenna!!

[@yourgirlannie]

I agree! Watching her channel and especially all her hauls has definitely influenced my personal style!

[@allisonbreeze131]

I agree!!

[@starrmichelle7]

Agreed ❤️❤️❤️

[@sophea1829]

Totally agree! I'm constantly looking back at Macenna's vlogs and her main channel for inspiration and can't wait to start renovating our place! She has such good design and taste! And I love the sustainability too!

Can we just appreciate the fact that I think this is the first time we’ve ever had a close up of your dad?! He’s always been in a tractor or something. Hi papa!!

[@tinabrookens4070]

My mother passed away in May of 2008 and watching you & your mom out shopping together reminds me of my mother & I out shopping together. We always had the best times finding the best deals and just spend time together laughing and cutting up. I so enjoy watching the two of you together and the other content you have on your channel. You are such a talented fun-loving girl who has truly blessed us all by letting us be a part of your journey. Thank you for including us all and keep up the great work that you so enjoy doing.

[@dustedfinds8611]

I buy all kinds of weird brass items because of her as well! My latest find is this cute small brass lunch box or doctors bag. I have never seem one like it before. I can't wait to have it in my hands. :-)

[@dustedfinds8611]

MaCenna, the simplicity of your parents has me in awe! I appreciate your videos but especially, I appreciate how humble and kind you all are! Keep being that friendly, sparkly, kind, and humble MaCenna! Your mom and I share the same happy place!

[@sherrycopeland3553]

That mantle is beautiful. When the other woman was asking about the price, I think you probably had a tiny little panic attack which means you really wanted it. So glad you won that battle. I think it will be perfect for your cottage, especially at Christmas with the stockings hanging from it. Kensley giving you kisses at the end of this vlog was so sweet. God bless!

[@xomacennavlogs]

[@michlkwitz]

I literally shouted "YES!" when you said you were going back for the mantle.

[@sarahkrauss3329]

Old mixers are THE BEST! Old mixers like that and kitchenaid are made with steel bearings, currently the bearings are made of plastic and other materials, and they can burn out! You truly found a gem with that mixer. I have a vintage kitchenaid and it has lasted over 50 years (it was my grandmothers' wedding gift), it's out-lived three brand new mixers! Way to go!

[@KiraleeStrange]

Aw it’d be really sweet if once the house is all done to invite robert and the other lovely vendors over for a dinner party! 😍😍

[@tinaxchris]

These estate sales always make me feel so emotional. I just think about the people who took such great care of their things and how you'll continue to do so and it really makes me happy. I just love ya! Can't wait to see it all in your home ❤❤❤

[@shannonmcrae1364]

I just came to say the same thing! Actually I came to say that estate sales make me so sad for the family left behind, but you are right that these items are being given new life and blessing new families. ❤️

[@indiabilly]

I always think the same thing, the accumulated treasures of two long lives, it’s sad that they are gone and can’t tell us the stories that go with the things xx

[@TamarLitvot]

Thank for this lovely comment. We’re clearing out our house of 44 years to move into a much smaller place, and I hope there will be people like Macenna who will love the things we can’t keep.

You can never have enough brass! Don't deny yourself the happiness of discovering beautiful brass pieces! Come one, come all, let us rise up and support MaCenna and her obsession with brass!!!!

“This is my happy place! Some people go to the beach. Some people go to the mountains. We go to the flea market.” - MaCenna’s mom - If this ain’t me... 🤭😅

[@sharonc1326]

The estate sale touched my heart . Looking at all of the things that were treasured by that person, the hobbies, the games, the linens washed and folded with care…… ❤️ I still have all of the old Yahtzee score cards going back decades even. Seeing them reminds me of time spent with friends and family, and some we have lost. Bittersweet. And it reminds me to keep adding to the stack 💕

[@hannahstanden1395]

They make me feel a little sad too. Someones treasures getting sold away.

[@saraw8503]

Agree. My mother loved all her things. My sister were so overwhelmed by what we would keep and what we would pass on to someone like Macenna who would love it through a second life.

[@Melody-285]

Aww… I was literally just wondering if anyone else feels sad at estate sales - I just sometimes want to cry just seeing videos of estate sales - I have spent so many years collecting …. I guess a good way to think about it is to remember these sales we see & know there are people who appreciate those treasures

It’s so weird that I started watching McCenna months ago buying her cottage. I’m so emotionally invested in this house that I feel is like a bff buying her first home😂😂😂She doesn’t even know I exist and I’m here waiting for the big moving video with goosebumps. 🤷🏼‍♀️The magic of KZbin 😂 Anyone else ready to decorate with her and hangout out shopping with her mom? 😂😂😂🙋🏼‍♀️

[@knivesnflowers]

robert's fireplace would look so good sandblasted back to the bare wood - so glad you're getting it! also those curved wooden frames would make great bases for a canopy

[@ButyoucancallmeKat]

Oh my gosh you are so right! I would be so concerned about damaging the carved details though!

[@knivesnflowers]

@@ButyoucancallmeKat i saw an armoire with similar depth details post sandblasting on tv and it looked like paint had never touched it!! so fresh and the grain was lovely

[@xomacennavlogs]

I’ve actually been wanting to try our sand blasting or soda blasting!! They may be just the project 🥰

[@michellebee7528]

That is such a great idea! The mantle would be beyond gorgeous back to raw wood!❤

[@hllymchll]

yes!!! I hope she atleast attempts to strip it somehow before painting it

[@kathrynsmith831]

When you're ready to decorate the cottage it will be like shopping all over again!! Win!! Can't wait to see how all your goodies are displayed in the cottage!

[@xomacennavlogs]

Omg 100% 🥰🥰

[@andreabrandle6575]

The brass self-leveling gimbal candlestick holder with the knob that you found is such an amazing find! If you unscrew it slightly, it turns into a WALL SCONCE! It would look stunning on your wall! ✨I recently sold a pair in my vintage IG shop but it was so hard to part with them 💔🥲

[@donnad9278]

That mantle is to die for!!! You will make it work somewhere... you have too it’s gorgeous. All of your finds were precious. Say hello to Momma so glad y’all are back together. I’m so excited for you... I can’t hardly stand it... oh the cottage is going to be breathtaking!

[@xomacennavlogs]

Awww thank you so much 🥰

[@southernassweettea2228]

I get so excited when you go thrifting! Now when my cousin and I go shopping, we always say “McCenna would love this”. You have made us all part of your family. We Love You!

[@xomacennavlogs]

Awww that means to world to me!!! 🥰 love you guys!

[@cookiecuttercottage3088]

That bundle of linens! :) When you were flipping through at the estate sale I was saying to myself, "Buy them! Buy them!"

[@dustedfinds8611]

I was saying the same! And when she opened them on the haul portion, I wanted them even more! Stunning!

[@corrinac1784]

Obsessed with the mixer what a find! It looks like a 1948 Hamilton Beach Mixer Model G Series and what a beauty 😀 It's so exciting how close you are to moving in I can't wait to see how beautiful your home will be furnished and decorated with all the things. Hi from Australia 🤗

[@tonyahooker5839]

Mckenna anytime you find those milk glass bowls you need to pick them up. If you use that mixer those bowls will even all at end up breaking. Its always good to have extras.

[@pamkowal7464]

You have the BEST eye for finding unusual things! If I go to flea markets, I see neat things but then I talk myself out of them by pausing and thinking ‘I really don’t NEED this’. Bummer!

[@AmeliaGwen]

we need our "a fritter, a flea market, and a friend" shirts, MaCenna!

[@JackieLina]

These half rounded wood thingies could be headboard parts for a kids bed 🥺😍 loooove them!

[@natalialana1189]

Exactly what I thought!! 🥰

[@katbar6066]

No I think they are used to curve plywood for carriages or even to make wheels

[@jenniferbaker3678]

Ooow good idea. I was thinking may also be cute with block rainbow color yarn hangy thing lol. I’m so good with words aren’t I lol. I can’t think of what they are called

[@theelizabethan1]

The two wooden semi-circles could be joined to form a mirror frame.

[@Yannispawn]

That sink! Wow! I’m not sure if I’ve ever seen a sink like it. So so cool! Needle nose pliers is one of my favorite and most used tools! The mantel is gorgeous! I can totally see it in your living room. It will be a great focal point.

[@tasha8591]

MaCenna's enthusiasm is so infectious.

[@kimholloway1169]

Oh my gosh! Macenna I just found that EXACT same brass candle holder with the knob that turns. If you loosen the "knob" or screw, the candle holder is counter balanced so if you are walking with it and it happens to tilt, the candle holder stays upright. I found it for $1 at a garage sale 3 weeks ago. I've never seen another like it, and then you find one! So crazy, but I am obsessed with mine, it is the coolest thing. Love watching your channels. Btw my daughter is Makenna also. I live in Katy, so pretty close (relatively) to your brother I would assume. Trying to get my husband to go to Trade days! I would LOVE that. Thanks for all your inspiration! 💓💓

[@KirestenK]

Don't you love when you go to an estate sale, and they still have the item you wanted and it there still and works.. AWESOME BABY !!!!

[@aileenkoeppen4817]

Those old blenders were built to last. My husband has an old one he uses to make bread and pizza dough. If you contact the company they may have accessories for it...special tools for blending dough and cake mixes. Great find. Also, the mantel will look great in your home. It may be more ornate than your style but it will blend and be a wonderful feauture.

[@ima40schic]

I love the mantel, but I would take it somewhere to be stripped back to wood. Somewhere where they dip it and do it professionally. Not sure I would paint it, maybe some limewax or antique wax on the raw wood to bring out the details? Can't wait to see how it turns out. :)

[@bajacowgirl3228]

You guys will NEVER stop shopping! LOL. Good thing is ... anything you don't need, you can sell in your pop-up. Great thing about being a reseller, you can continuously rotate things out!

[@mddlemons243]

I’m glad you got the sink (less the spider) it’s beautiful but my true envy is that mixer! Wow 🤩! Thanks for your videos, they keep me going ❤️. I just love your mama and me adventures.

[@kathleenroberts7972]

My mom and I always went yard saling together and had a ball. We would start out early and end the day with a salad and baked potato at crackerbarrel. We would be parched and drink a ton of iced tea as we excitedly talked about our finds. I miss my mom and miss those days. Treasure every minute!

[@waterbitten]

On the mantle, would you consider stripping it back to wood just cause I think that carving would look amazing in its original wood.

[@kayerin5749]

I agree. Painting or distressing this fine piece of art would be criminal. I can see it blending in nicely and giving a rich tone to your living room.

[@guitargirl4himify]

SOOOOooooo glad you're getting that mantle!!! GORGEOUS!!!

[@brimeyer5157]

As soon as you showed the sink I was like OH NO she bought the spider sink!!! Hope all spiders were evicted before purchasing 😂🤞🏻

[@texastomilandiyitaly]

Omg you bought the BEST stuff today! The sink. The brass candle holder with the turning thing on the side. The clear glass lantern. The mixer. The watering can. I can’t even.

[@kaelyncoppinger1373]

You can use a magnet to test the silverware to see if it’s real silver or not. If it is real silver the magnet won’t work. Also, I think I read somewhere that early silver pieces weren’t marked, but if they are marked it’ll be with either 800, 900, or 925. I hope that helps!

[@aleecowley50]

If it's stamped 925, that means it's sterling silver. :)

[@She.Follows.The.Sun.]

925 means silvers, yes. But metal can wear down over time

[@farmers-daughter2000]

Yes use a magnet. The gold and silver are not magnetic, I forgot that.

[@xomacennavlogs]

Oooo I’m going to try that! That you so much!!!

[@pameladcainpiacia3442]

I am so excited about the fireplace mantle! It can stand out as a true artisan piece. Your house is coming along beautifully. I can’t wait for design phase but just as much, I’m excited to see all the surfaces and finishes.

[@herekittykittykitty475]

Listen I have a mantle addiction too! I don't just use them for real fireplaces either. I move them around every time I feel like a re-do. My favorite one has been in my kitchen, then a library and now a spare bedroom. After all you need somewhere for all those candlesticks! Oh and don't forget to put one on the porch!

[@MyaBritton]

With those round half wooden things, you could connect two of them together and make a DIY picture frame, or depending on how sturdy you could make a mirror!

[@debbashaw8546]

Your new mixer is the same as the one I used as a child.....I'm feeling old when all the stuff you are looking at we have had. 🙂

[@fionamorris9634]

Your Mum and the tape and sharpies at the estate sale, OMG 🤣 she is a woman after my own heart. This was one of my favourite videos so for McCenna, oh my goodness you and your mum together just bring me so much joy . Everything you bought was absolutely gorgeous and you don’t have a shopping problem,have have a whole house, two guest cottages and your mum‘s house as well to furnish and get decor for, that’s an awful a lot of shopping! 😄 The beautiful thing about being an interior designer your home is it’s never actually done. A couple of years from now when the house is ‘finished’, you might decide to refresh or redecorate a room who knows? Then you’ll have stuff in the workshop that you bought estate sale or flea market, ready to go. Isn’t that the main reason you have all those extra buildings in the backyard, storage ? 😉

[@shellypontz9645]

Oh my gosh, you and your mom are so fun to watch at the flea markets and sales! You both remind me of myself and my daughter, she always beats me to the good stuff. I am so excited to see the cottage and all of your beautiful treasures filling it. You are a delightful young lady!

[@lynnadkins1079]

The mixer is the best!!! My mother had one for decades. The handle on top finally broke off after many years but she wouldn’t part with it, used it until she passed. Lucky girl , you.

[@lynnadkins1079]

The mantle is perfect. Use a soft brush and soapy (Dawn) warm water to scrub the ornate area , hose it down and dry completely to get out the grunge

[@dwagnerful]

MaCenna, those wheel "pieces" are called "fellows" and if you put them together you'll have a perfect circle, which might be something to consider for your art project. It was once quite a skill to become a wheelwright. Something interesting about your find!

McKenna my mom had a Hamilton Beach brand mixer just like that and when I inherited, I got rid of it and I so regret it!!! It had the milk glass bowls, and it detached as well. It was probably older than me when she passed away. I was forty and now I am fifty seven. I wish so much I had not gotten rid of things that were hers. She was a very neat lady and everything had to be perfect. She took well good care of anything she had OCD she was. Please cherish your mixer you have a gem!!! Thank you for sharing your haul and estate adventure with your mom and dad. I so enjoy you spending time with them and just having the best time. So many Awesome times to cherish.

[@AngelaHardiman]

MaCenna, the linen pieces are Norwegian Hardanger. My grandmother was an author of a book and did this type of needlework and pieces for many years. Each piece could take her hundreds of hours. Traditional work was only white on white, colors were introduced later. I have probably 30 pieces of her work that I treasure.

[@lindamendoza3882]

That was the BEST estate sale I have seen in a long time!!!! And that thing is not too ornate, you have the high ceilings, you can pull it off!!! Also, I think you could totally do some amazing diy wind chimes with those old spoons and forks!

[@victorialove9104]

Oh I so want that mixer! Now I'm on the hunt. I am obsessed with milk glass. Glad you got that incredible mixer. The sink is so beautiful and unique. And that mantel! What a rare find. I know you can make it look as gorgeous as it deserves in your home. It is stunning. Even if you have to alter your original plan for the fireplace it will be worth it. Really fun video.

[@seshaghi]

Your shopping trips w your mom are my absolute favorite!!!! I hope they never stop

[@meaelmtoft-riedel5481]

I was so excited about the story behind the estate sale! Because our house in Denmark also used to belong to a carriage builder (he actually built the house as well)! So naturally we have quite the work space in the basement, where he used to build 😆 We were told that when cars were starting to put carriage makers out of work, he instead built the back of those old milk vans with the wooden doors in the back. I secretly named our house The Carriage Maker’s house. Thanks for reminding me just how much I adore the histore of it ❤️ So special 💫

[@dianeschenkelberg8270]

I'm sure you can find a place for that mantle in one of the cottages, or put it in the master bedroom as a faux fireplace!

[@leilakadribasic]

The mantle is gorgeous!!! It deserves to have the fireplace be designed around it! ❤❤❤❤ I am so jealous of your mixer

[@lorriewittig9066]

My mom had a Hamilton mixer but I don't think you could remove the mixer to mix separately. You got top of the line. I think mom got her mixer as a wedding gift about 1956 or 1957.

[@krisschroeder8583]

Same. There is an adjuster lever that moves the beater into the right position depending on the size bowl you use. They don't have near the speed/strength compared to a modern KitchenAid and you have to manually scrape the sides of the bowl because the beaters don't pickup everything

[@farmers-daughter2000]

My mom got hers in 46’. It will have a cloth cord.

[@brendacompton7412]

In the 1950s they must have switched the cord to being covered with a rubber covering because ours was something like a rubber covering cord and you could slide the mixer off the stand to use it as a hand mixer like she showed

[@farmers-daughter2000]

I have two in my cabinet, you can take the mixer off. Mine are from the nineties.

[@kelliegilliam4711]

You crack me up!! No more brass. I promise! We all do the same thing with stuff we love! Cannot wait to see this home and the guest cottages when they are done!

[@scnordlund]

The brass candlestick was used on ships, it constructed to always be balanced/level.

[@Pliine29]

I would say go for the mantel because when it's instant love, here's a high chance of regretting it. Also I thin you can make it work and it would look so good in the house with old and new decor pieces :)

I am so glad to see you bought that mantle. It was beautiful Can hardly wait to see videos of you decorating the house

It's a gorgeous mantle. I can see it with the limestone if it's stained a darker color, not white. It will look absolutely beautiful in your little cottage!

[@rachaelwatson2122]

For those Hamilton Beach bowls, make sure you handwash them to protect their outer coating, a dishwasher will dull them and wear the coating down!

😂😂😂 I couldn’t imagine not having that mantle in my life. 😂 few minutes ago you didn’t have it in your life. I can relate and I am so glad I got over my flea market shopping addiction.

I love watching back these old vlogs and seeing things I recognize from your future makeovers. So fun to see the moment you found them
