One $7 coffee a day is about $2,555.00. And the time it takes to get it. Time is money 💸 KEEP THE COFFEE MAKER

[@bonniehembree6956]

I don't know about working so hard and not being able to enjoy your time enough to have a coffee and making it last for two days🥺 keep the coffee maker and make yourself some nice recipes 😊

[@neoanderson726]

coffee has a lot of pesticides in it from research I have done . I gave up coffee so now I sleep better unless I am stressed about something or "feel" something bad is about to happen then yeah I do not sleep

[@BiBi_Aussiesales]

I retired from full time work at 63 & thought I’d hate it but since reselling part time I’m really enjoying the mix of that & doing art & travelling! Life after full time work can be fun!

[@rosavargas539]

Keep the coffee pot we all deserve a treat to ourselves , we work hard and should reward ourselves once a year won’t break the bank! I’m looking for one if you keep it plz review 😊😊😊

[@thrifting_in_the_ozarks3887]

Thank you so much for sharing how far you drive to get things to resell. Love your new bedroom. The rust pillow helps bring the colors of the paintings and the vase all together you have excellent taste.

[@beckys8877]

Sometimes the personal splurge that makes our soul happy is something that nobody else understands. That's okay if you know in your heart it's not a waste for you and lifts you up. I splurged on a $200 Keurig coffee pod machine that has the extra milk frother/heater on the side, I don't use it everyday, but in the cold winter months that little milk heater/spinning frother just makes me happy like an extra hug.

[@melissaphelps6622]

I think you should keep your new espresso maker. Its very nice.

[@sharonb537]

just dont think about the plastic all the pods are leaching into your coffee

[@melissaphelps6622]

@@sharonb537 what plastic? You can buy reuseable metal ones.

[@TurkeyCreekGal]

10:59 I love the wooden wall candle holder on the shelf below the wicker shelf that you didn't get.

[@CandaceDay-f5g]

I actually made one of those rock rugs - more doormat size and with all black rocks. It's like a puzzle trying to find what fits with what and it did take me 2 days - probably like 8 -10 hours total. Well worth it mine is just outside my shower as a bath mat

[@TurkeyCreekGal]

Karen, I can't thank you enough for your wonderful, fun, informative videos! I've learned so much from you and of course I'm sure you've forgotten more than I'll ever learn. I really do live vicariously through you ❤

[@trinasthings]

You can use Dryel to “dry clean” your pillows at home in the dryer. 13:44 nice espresso machine. We had an espresso machine years ago & I loved it!

[@lavenderclothesline]

Yes! I talk about Dryelle frequently! Love it

[@LindaKayHolevas]

My son has the same espresso machine & absolutely loves it. I really hope you keep it, it will pay for itself within the first year, if not sooner. I know part of the fun is treating yourself at a coffee shop, but why not treat yourself at home, too? You work hard & deserve it! ❤edit- love the dog bank!

[@lavenderclothesline]

Thanks Linda!! Hope all is well! 💜

[@VivianElliott-zv6xq]

Keep your espresso machine! You deserve something special for yourself.

Thank you Vivian xoxox

Loved the Chateau Frontenac in Quebec City art! I stayed in that hotel when I went for a school French trip! (a loooooong time ago). So admire the architect William Sutherland Maxwell.

Perfect backing for a quilt 🎉

[@brendabatt6874]

So glad you kept the artwork in the bedroom. I love it. It would totally fit in my bedroom

[@debbied3116]

Thanks for sharing your thrifting trip. When Goodwill gets all their merchandise FREE they ought to put it for sale at a decent price. Happy New Year!!

[@annebright8760]

Savers is a huge for-profit thrift chain in North America . Closest stores to me are in Buffalo, NY. In Canada, the stores are called Value Village. No coloured tag sale systems but Tuesdays are 30% off for 60+ shoppers. Also, if you make a donation, you receive a coupon for 20% off your purchase up to a total bill of $50. Prices at Value Village are high (most clothes and shoes are way overpriced) and the highest of all surrounding thrift stores. You can find some good things there but I always take advantage of Seniors Day & coupons. They also have a points program so you can build up points the more that you shop then use the points to reduce your total.

[@lisastreet8920]

That turquoise tea tin was sold at Costco. I bought one for the tea and donated the tin. 😀

[@snowflow07]

At the beginning of this video you looked at art. Watercolors are done on paper and the jug/jar art was acrylic which I liked. Vintage linen, yes…even Ralph Lauren, can be wanting. I bought vintage Lauren bedding which suffered from dry rot. Buyers beware.

[@YourBusinessX5]

I love the pottery you pick up. I stopped by your booth on my way back from the holidays...CT to SC. Bought your gnome candy jar and I'm not even a gnome person!!

[@lavenderclothesline]

Thank you so much!

[@barbaraklee5655]

If you think the crockpot color was cool, picture ALL you appliances in that color! It was called "POPPY." In 1977, I did my whole kitchen with those . I loved it!

[@vanessaherron5203]

I own that English tea tin can, bought it at the thrift also, I have it in my kitchen with lots of differant teas in it. I get more compliments on this tin, a lot of friends have dibs on it if and when I change things, as I am very known for changing things up lol🦋👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@rebeccadicero4017]

The rock runner is from Coldwater Creek and is a table runner. I worked for them when they came out in their catalog and in the larger stores only. I got one when someone returned it to the store. The rocks come off every now and then, but i just hot glue them back on. It was expensive when they came out.

[@arlenehildred7504]

The art you got is from Quebec and the Blue Nose is a ship that is on our Canadian Dime! I always enjoy your videos and I found your daughter through your videos. I like her content and it is nice to see a fellow chronic pain survivor!

[@heiditate6989]

Oh no! I love that chandelier! Oh go ahead and use that expresso machine. You deserve it! I love summer too and agree with you on the heat....it can never be too hot.

[@cindybruce992]

The art is likely Canadian as the Chateau Frontenac is an iconic hotel in Quebec City and the Bluenose is a famous Nova Scotia racing schooner and it is depicted on the Canadian dime.

[@joycerocco-m5b]

In the Chicago metropolitan area, Savers does business as Unique. Good finds are sporadic and prices are higher than Goodwill but they do have a large clothing inventory. BTW, in our area, Goodwill is no longer offering 50% color of the week. No military discounts and no senior citizen discounts. You can still accrue points for a coupon.

[@PatSimmons-g4r]

Absolutely love the room as it is. The money box is gorgeous, in spite of the dust.🙂 Love the tea tin too. Thank you, as always, for sharing.

[@andreamoore6394]

One of the things I like about you Karen is the fact you take time to clean an item, before you sell. I would bet that does take some time which is why you try to keep to a minimum. Im sure there are some resellers who don't take the time as you do, and that is why I feel you do well along with your eye for good merchandise. Also your vids are fab as well. You deserve that cappuccino machine. I hope you end up keeping it for yourself. It is all about the small pleasures in life. Enjoy! PS your spare bedroom looks fabulous.🙂

[@lavenderclothesline]

Thank you Andrea! 🥰

[@janeleslie4192]

[@sandiecole3274]

I live in Texas, I get that much dust in a week. Hugs Sandie

[@victoriaredington8498]

I understand purchasing an item and keeping it for a few day to see how it “feels.” When I go to a store like Walmart, I get so excited about a lot of things, put them in my cart, walk around with them. Then when it’s time to check-out, I start putting things back that I don’t really need or want with the feeling that I had already owned them for a while.

[@Appalachiangirlie]

You know what you’re doing ❤I love the pillows and the art in your room

[@sirtedricwalker2979]

That Expresso machine will pay for itself in 2 years and you should enjoy something for all your work. Breville is a good brand. Always enjoy your videos and organization.

[@Roberta-sw2hz]

I love my old school Nespresso machine! The 1st time I saw the model I bought, I was at a conference at a high end hotel and they had it out for the guests to use. The espresso was divine! I called the hotel back once I was at home and they provided me with the model. At the time, they were going for over $1200, but I found one online for $800 new with a discount of $300 - so I paid $500! It still works like new and makes the best espressos. The pods are a bit pricey, but worth it IMO. I really like those metal bookends and bird! Bummer about the pricing of the Savers items.

[@bestgirl1956]

I like everything in the renewed bedroom, especially the art.

[@Gypsy_merch]

Hi Karen. Value Village/Savers separate the linens into areas all pillow cases, flat sheets, fitted sheets. I loved going to their senior day sales. Snoopy pillow case was probably in other area.

[@marymarie7959]

I have a Savers about an hour from me in Rochester, NY. I like it for the hard goods and linens. I find the clothing and accessories higher priced than my other local thrift stores. Mine does have tag color discounts and a discount coupon if you make a donation.

[@margaret6690]

My son has that same espresso maker that he bought second hand on FB Marketplace. He has been using it for over three years and it still works great. He taught me how to use it but I like traditional drip coffee.

Hi Karen! i look forward to your videos. I know you enjoy correct grammer and just saying--it's perforation with a purr! Happy New Year!

Same with the coffee maker! Just something about using it for a few days, quenches the urge to own it.

[@joycekleikamp3015]

Loved SAVERS, but many of them have closed in recent years, including the ones nearest me. But over the years we sure loved what they had on their shelves! (We were not resellers, but I bet the staff thought we were for as often as we shopped there!)

Your bedroom looks very cozy. Good job ! My weakness is pottery and sterling silver jewelry I absolutely love the bank (despite all the dust). I'm always on the lookout for the unusual and old and this qualifies.

I have a Sage Barista Express coffee machine, which looks almost identical to yours, Karen. I have had it for 7 years now, and it has given me so much joy! I honestly treasure my down-time with my freshly ground cappuccino every day!! I am such a coffee snob, after owning my own coffee shop for a few years…. the coffee machine wasn’t cheap, but I figure over 7 years and hundreds of coffees, it has paid for itself many times over😄☕️🫶🏼

[@cheryldavis8776]

@gloriabaker4626 Honestly, I think that just stinks! I don’t understand their rationale - they're already getting all of their inventory FOR FREE, and now they're gonna take away all our incentives for shopping there?!? Too bad all of us (everyone who might shop at Goodwill) can't blackball them and never shop there again... They seem to resent their customers and go out of their way to punish us. I just don't get it.

[@gloriabaker4626]

I have the breville 3 in one microwave and hate the thing and it was over 400.00 at Best Buy when they came out. I just ditched it for a 25.00 garage sale microwave. The breville takes 17 minutes to heat a 22 oz bowl of soup. I had the coffee maker and I ditched that also. It gave me so many problems. I have the juicer and parted it out on eBay.I have the toaster oven but do not use it much. I really like and have good luck with my Cuisinart kitchen items.

Nice bank and a fun find. These banks were repoduced in the 1970"s and a few more years onward. I"ve been a dealer since 1970 and had the wholesale catalogs for them . They were popular then as the price for the vintage was high. The paint is too bright. check the iron on the seems that join the bank elements they will be either slightly rough or very rough. There is some collector value to this era bank but not the same as the vintage turn of the century through 20's etc.

[@mindymark4098]

I live on Long Island and go to Savers on Tuesdays because it's senior citizen day and you get 30% off, also if you donate a bag of stuff they'll give you a 20% off coupon , you should sign up for points too.

[@factbasedreality]

You deserve the espresso machine! If you are looking for a less expensive alternative, marketplace often has Breville’s in my area.

[@victoriacaddy1287]

I'm not positive but I believe the English Tea Tin was sold full of tea bags at costco and other other stores as well. I had a pink one just like it for awhile recently.

[@taurusangel2553]

Hi Karen, we have Savers in CT. I don't find their pricing the best for resale but they do run sales from time to time where you might find a few things worthwhile.
