#goodwill #goodwillchallenge #thrifting #thriftflip #upcycle #repurpose #thrifthaul #DIYhomedecor #goodwillbins
I took my niece and nephew to Goodwill and they chose items they wanted me to transform into spring decor. They chose whatever they liked which included a metal flower, a cactus bird house, a pair of wooden clogs, a clock, a wood and stick basket, and a pepper mill! What would you do with these items?

In case you’re curious, Jasper liked the pepper mill rabbit best. Sadie liked the wood basket best. And, they both liked that I used the driftwood in another project. Since they live out of state, they hadn’t seen the final projects until the video came out today.

[@annesickinger8298]

I know you were so happy to make some good memories with them!! Hard to do when they live far away!

[@joycegilkey3677]

What you did with the leftover driftwood and pepper milk ended up being my favorite!

[@tamaraatkinson940]

I loved this video. First of all, your niece and nephew are great kids. Kind and polite. Their parents have done an admirable job. I loved all the projects. Before anyone mentions the use of birds: you go girl and add birds to your hearts is content! Yes please, more videos like this one.

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you so much, Tamara! They are really good kids. I sure wish they lived closer, so I could see them more often.

[@karenwilliams551]

I loved the bird house and the rabbit

[@rosalindalozano233]

OH. MY. GOODNESS!!! That Pepper Mill Rabbit is absolutely adorable!!!

[@CanterburyCottage]

Oh, thank you! Jasper will be so happy that his choice is the favorite!

[@carolsopinski4549]

I second that!!!

[@connieh.4689]

Yes, milk paint bunny came out Great❣️

[@KMF3]

Embrace the accidents.

[@KMF3]

I'm glad you did the milk paint and that it didn't work the way you wanted.

[@maggiepadilla6915]

You are just too amazing! The Lord must look down and say “ yup, thats my creative daughter!” I cant wait from week to week to see what you’re going to surprise us with.❤

[@tuhesse]

You nailed them all!

[@nancypeteja6560]

I like the pepper mill bunny and the Christmas tree carrots!! The kids must have had fun picking & choosing items!! TFS.😊❤

[@PhillyGirl-pt3vq]

No, you didn’t ruin the pepper mill! I love the rustic look. ❤️👍🏻 And the Dutch shoes turned out adorable too! ❤👏🏻👏🏻 Your niece & nephew are such cute kids & great helpers. 🥰❤️

[@alicejump2290]

Persistence wins the day! Loved them all but that last leftover piece gave me joy! It was so you! Blessed spring days are coming!

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you! You too!

[@jeano5545]

I love the pepper mill rabbit and the wooden clogs!!

[@garnetstone2012]

The clogs and the last project were my favorite. Everything is always cute.

[@CanterburyCottage]

Oh, thank you! 😊

[@bonnieirwin1621]

Now these are the kind of videos I like the best. I loved the clogs and the clock. Keep them coming, like this please! ! Great kids too!!! Oh!! Love the last 1 too!!!

[@karenpowers2225]

That birdhouse transformation was unreal!!! How does your brain come up with this stuff!? Amazing! ❤

[@sherilynpeters6459]

Your Niece and Nephew are so cute. The two of them selected fun items. As always you made works of art. Fun to watch video.😊

[@joanshute3384]

Oh my word what you did with allthose pieces was Absolutely Amazing. I loved them all. But my Favorites were the birdhouse and the wooden basket. Your neice and nephew we so cute picking out that special piece for their aunt. I wood love to see more videos like this. If only their were more aunts like you their wouldn't be so many children in trouble. Congratulations on a job well done. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. So until next time God Bless you and your family and have a Blessed evening and stay safe my dear and Special Friend. ❤❤❤

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you so much, Joan! My brother and sister in law have done a great job raising two well-behaved, kind, and clever young people. And, I adore them!

[@anjapopken3320]

1 wooden shoes 2 bird house 3 peper mill Really cute to let the children pick items. More like this please.

[@marywiggins7411]

What a great bunch of projects! That peppermill bunny looks so perfectly primitive. What a rescue on that birdhouse!

[@Thatsinteresting363]

“I wanted to throw it REALLY HARD into the garbage can!”😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I’ve had those moments too😂

[@lindasmith5190]

The driftwood turned out so sweet. The "ugliest" birdhouse is adorable.

[@janicegray9999]

The peppermill bunny turned out adorable

[@nickylavryssen2442]

The pepper mill rabbit!!!…..this is exactly the kind of decor that you think of that makes me astounded at your creativity 👏👏👏👏👏 Bravo

[@lanaritter9410]

Sherry! Sherry! Sherry, YOU JUST AMAZE ME! You are so Blessed with such a CREATIVE MIND!!! I enjoyed your niece and nephew shopping for you!!!❤❤

[@candicetreser2092]

You don’t craft. You make art. You are so impressive.

[@CanterburyCottage]

Oh, Candice, you are so sweet! 😊

[@cheribreier9558]

I agree

[@gatekiller]

I love your natural conversational voice! Use it more often!😀

[@CanterburyCottage]

I’m trying to be more conversational. It’s harder than it looks when you are in a room by yourself talking to a camera.😜

[@dorothykovak4900]

You really can make something lovely out of something pretty ugly. I love how the cactus birdhouse was transformed. The moss was a great touch. Thanks for sharing.

[@candacegaylord2543]

I liked the leftovers the best. All were amazing. Good work!

[@tracyshumaker8272]

I ❤ it when you do this with the kids. And yet again, your vision amazes me 😊 I can’t pick a favorite

[@debbiedoodah3188]

Back in the 70’s, my mom had ordered some wooden clogs to wear in her garden. I thought she was pulling my leg! 🤣

[@CanterburyCottage]

I can’t imagine that they would be comfortable, but these were probably a woman’s size 10.

[@sheilagravely5621]

Lol.No leg pulling, they make great garden shoes.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@cherylparish1375]

That pepper mill bunny is so cute! Definitely my favorite. It's all about the bunnies!❤

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you, Cheryl! Bunnies are so cute!!!

[@debbiemasek6481]

Sherry, you are so good at making something out of what the rest of us would think of as nothing! My favorite was the very last item you made out of the leftovers! You are amazing!

[@vickyrushton1783]

I loved all the makes. congratulations to your nephew and niece for the picks…… Oh and to you for your vision and hard work😊

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you so much! I am eager to hear what they think. (They live out of state, so they haven’t seen the finished projects yet.)

[@barbbell6291]

I especially loved the clogs! When visiting in Amsterdam in 2006, I watched a builder working on scaffolding wearing clogs, I was certainly surprised to see them as workers footware.

[@tchotchkegirl8880]

Sherry, Thank you for sharing your fantastic creations with us all. For the past 4 years since your first video I have looked forward to your brilliant creations. You have inspired me to open my creative side to give my obsession of thrifting a new life. I Love a created home. It shows the personality of a person. Also it keeps every one that comes here on their toes to see what's new. It's been said many times I have the most fun house. Thanks again! God Bless!!

[@CanterburyCottage]

You are so welcome! I bet you do have an interesting and fun house, and I bet people love spending time in your home!

[@lanadaniels4989]

I love all the projects…your niece and nephew have a great eye for potential 🙂

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you so much!

[@patbishop272]

my favorite was the leftover " bird cage and driftwood ", lOVED THE IDEA AND THE OUTCOME 😊❤

[@debschoen5581]

Thank you! Love watching flips and how talented you are in altering to more beautiful items.

[@sarahpollnow3137]

Everything is cute, but those "Spring" clogs on your blue front door are perfect!

[@Thatsinteresting363]

Wooden shoes are still worn by Dutch people in Holland and abroad. They are like the Dutch version of Crocks. Those shoes look like they would look purchased new. Perhaps a purchase from a trip of gift from a family member We do also use them as decor pieces. We paint them and even use them as planters. Real hand crafted ones are pretty cool as likely not a lot of true shoe carvers left. I love how you hung them on your front door! ❤

[@tammyjohnson7401]

Hi Sherry, great job to both your niece and nephew. I loved them all, and your birds and bird nests are signature to your wonderful creations. I would love to see your family go on thrift hunts with you. Thank you.

[@helengibson8196]

I love the way the rabbit turned out from the pepper mill 🌷

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you! 😊

[@nadinemclaren2057]

Hi Sherry, can't pick a favorite they all turned out so beautiful. The kids must be excited to see the transformation. ❤

[@ritasmith481]

Your nephew has good taste, I like the stand attached to the drift wood n 🐦 cage, also loved the way you the ugly bird feeder chosen by your niece into a beautiful decor. Rest of the selected items by kids n diyed by you are amazing too. Thanks for sharing n God bless 🙌 🙏 ❤️

[@dorothybeaty3638]

My favorite were the wood clogs you made into a door hanger what creative thinking you have and as always your magic you do with clocks and bird houses are always beautiful.

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you so much!😊

[@theresacarter1033]

Thanks, Sherry! The Peppermill rabbit is my favorite!! Love the bird house, too. What the heck? I loved all of them 😂

[@terrim2498]

I agree with Jasper, the pepper mill rabbit is my favorite. So wise that you powered through and didn’t trash it 😅 It turned out great!

[@carlamhaight]

Ditto to the praise for the pepper mill rabbit and the comment about your decorating sense. I really liked the last two creations. They had a very organic look. TFS❤❤❤❤

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you, Carla! 😊 Jasper thought the rabbit was the best project, too!

[@sherrybowers8329]

Loved the clock but the pepper mill was probably the most creative. I would have never thought of it 😊

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you! 😊

[@sheilasanders7908]

It was all just precious! Those clogs as door hangers were just too cute!! You even find a purpose for the left over bits. Without a doubt, you are just the most creative person on KZbin!

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thanks so much! 😊 You are so kind, Sheila!

[@tropicalhomewithLinda]

Very creative as always.....The peppermill bunny is absolutely adorable, my fav. TFS

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thanks so much 😊 Jasper will be pleased!

[@sandythornton5166]

What a fun concept for a video!! Jasper and Sadie made excellent choices!! My absolute favorite is the rabbit you made out of a pepper mill!! What a genius idea!! It just kept getting better as you added more paint and stain and I love it!! Great job as always!! Thank you!!

[@connietowler3725]

The pepper rabbit was my favorite. Turned out soooo pretty, love it. All the DIY's were very nice. Thank you. ...

[@vm5610]

I loved how you made the "ugly" birdhouse pretty!

[@josetteschembri9777]

Whatever you do,always turns out beautiful.

[@debilee9557]

When I saw that cactus birdhouse I thought to myself "nothing is going to be able to make that look any better". But as usual you found a way. :) Also love the carrots made from wooden trees. Thank you for sharing your amazing talent.

[@11212lala]

I love this whole video! Your niece and nephew are so adorable. How cool that they want to go do this with their auntie! Do more! I’m going to take my grandkids thrifting this summer and we will do this too! Happy Valentine’s Day! ❤

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you so much!

[@ellzeescammon2600]

O my goodness! The way you said you wanted to throw that rabbit REALLY HARD into the garbage made me laugh so hard!! BUT, I think it turned out super cute AND kudos to your creativity!! I would never, ever have 'seen' a rabbit in a pepper mill.

[@katherinewas4896]

I liked the rabbit brown better … I’m not much for distressed but he is adorable. What a great creative idea !

[@lb1646]

You are amazing......my favorite would be the last project because it could have easily been garbage and you made it into something beautiful and unique!

[@melonmahfood2439]

Just impossible to pick, they are all so cute! Your niece and nephew are adorable!

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you so much!

Carrots from Christmas Trees! 👍🎄🥕🥕

It's always hard to choose between what you make but I think my favorite is the birdhouse you didn't like it turned out so cute!❤😊

[@Shellie7howard]

These videos are my absolute favorite!!!

[@pinetree2675]

Genius as ever 👏🏻 , the bird house was what's called making a silk purse out of A sows ear, and I will never look at a thrift store lone pepper/ salt shaker the same again🤯.... more please😉

[@debbievanhoecke3727]

My favorite project was the pepper mill rabbit. Yes, you did make a happy accident. I collect pepper mills in all sizes and make snowmen out of them. My second favorite project was the the basket in which you did the vines on the handle, etc. This was a great video.

[@heynursie5918]

What beautiful young people! You continue to impress and amaze Sherri. I wish I was half as creative as you...

[@CanterburyCottage]

Wow, thank you!

[@christine1373]

WOWWWW! Seriously! I can’t pick a favorite because they are all so good!! I loved this video and it was sweet to see the kids “challenging” you! 😀
