I paid what they wanted..and grabbed as fast as I could! | Thrift & Vintage Shop with me

[@rebeccaeblin3413]

Karen, Longenberger is NOT out of business. The original office building in the shape of a giant basket is indeed closed but the company has reopened online. I’m in Ohio about 3 hours from them. They make all sorts of home decor which includes anything from laundry, bathroom, kitchen etc. I hope that is helpful information for you and Roger. ❤

[@lavenderclothesline]

Thank you! Good to know

[@nancyloomis3046]

That is good to know!

[@lavenderclothesline]

Do they still make baskets??

[@rebeccaeblin3413]

Yes

[@karenshellhamer7739]

Xcel acquired the company.

The Amish dresses are interesting. I used to wear loose drop waisted dresses back in the 90s. Now, I wear loose dresses or caftans at home with bright prints, most of which I make myself from vintage fabrics. $2 is an incredible price! You can't buy a spool of thread for that these days, let alone fabric or patterns.

[@mildredcaudle7272]

Karen, yes please, list your 10 most favorite places to shop! Thank you!

[@corky52360]

I don’t comment often, but I never miss any of your videos. You have become one of my favorite resellers. Your knowledge and willingness to learn more is just so impressive. Oh and your the most organized reseller on YT. I love your sense of humor. I use to be a reseller, (we’re the same age) I could go on and on. Just wanted you to know how much I enjoy your channel and appreciate all of your hard work. 😊

[@jmcd2955]

Absolutely yes to the Top 10 Ten List!! Perfect idea for a great girls trip!

[@ChandaWisdom]

I love that you know him so well “ Roger is working so we have to be quiet”. Yet he got a cat mug you didn’t know about! Love it. “ I’m going to cook you Pizza”. You guys are awesome…I’ve been married for 20 years and it’s tough ( I know him like that) …..I know that you’re kinda new in your marriage but goodness….you guys are so sweet.

[@Not-thatKaren]

My grandmother said, ‘She could make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear.’ In other words, someone could take something ugly and make it beautiful! Like finding when a thrifter finds something dirty or ugly, then cleans it up and makes it beautiful!

[@alaskanorthroader]

I love your name!! I just can’t figure out “why Karen”?!!! Karen

[@almafrisius7358]

Happy Valentines ❤❤❤❤ I've learned so much valuable information from you on this channel. Thank you for sharing your experience with the world. Love you and Roger 💕 😊

[@eliciaburton4862]

Lots of fun as usual, interesting dress find. The fabric is worth more than 2 dollars. Very enjoyable encounter in Rogers's seller room. You guys always stay busy. How great is it to have a husband who takes care of the snow on the driveway. Wonderful!

[@cathyhelmuth823]

Resell what you love, and you love pottery and artwork! Definitely, share your top shopping places with your viewers!

[@mcalislr]

So many youtubers I watch love pottery and do well with it. I love it but I don't do well with it. LOL

[@reneebrown4169]

Yes,Please make a list of your top 10 places to shop. I am coming in spring from Arkansas.

[@bethsnyder8376]

I really love your videos. However as a Jewish thrifer for over 40 years, I must tell you the word is "tchotchke" and the last part is pronounced as "key", not "kah". It is actually an old Yiddish term.

[@stj971]

Never pronounced it "key"

[@flakathy890]

You're right, Beth. The pronunciation is chaach·kee.

[@donnajalmeda]

Hi Karen, yes please make a list of your “top 10” favorite thrift stores. I have a sister near PA and plan to travel to Lancaster, PA in the near future. I live in CA. Thanks so much! ❤

[@PKr25-R17]

Love your table centerpiece. A smorgasbord ! I haven’t heard of one since the sixties. Enjoy! Always love seeing your sweet neighborhood especially with freshly fallen snow.

[@joaniemckinney970]

The string of spools is to roll on your back as a sort of massager. You just hold with both hands and flip it over your head andpull it back and forth! My granny had one she made with big spools! :)

[@victoriaashmore2775]

I had to laugh at how quickly Roger grabbed that Lilly Pulitzer back out of your hand! 😅😅

[@lanna7917]

Right? lol I don't think Roger likes the camera too much.

[@nshaver24]

Yea I thought that was telling 🧐

[@nshaver24]

@@lanna7917 I agree…sometimes I feel bad for him…he seems shy for sure!

[@melibell24]

Lol, that was funny

[@samtennis4706]

😂I was quick to notice the same thing, that Roger quickly snatched the lily Pulitzer!

[@jdnetwork-reselling]

The relaxing cat is a 2005 Quarry Critters Catalina CAT by Second Nature Design - The larger versions sell for anywhere between $70 and $150

Top 10 places to shop - yes, please! S.

[@tigger7181]

Yes please do a top 10 list! I'm one of your viewers that is planning a trip to Lancaster to thrift after watching your videos. I always look forward to your videos.

[@karenkuhr5698]

Roger cracks me up. You never know where he'll be sitting or will be trying on. Such a great sense of humor!

[@keepingitreal215]

Wow, what a score on the dresses. Karen, you are a powerhouse😊

[@abaughman0001]

I saw Roger in the wild today. I had to take a second look but yep it was him. He parked beside me at the Silver Spring DG. I was ready to say hi but I thought that would be too weird for him. Please tell him hey from me. 😂 Amy

[@lynnethebeautifulone4145]

I am sure he talks to strangers while thrifting all day... I bet he would have loved for you to say Hi He would have smiled that gorgeous smile too. 🙂

[@lavenderclothesline]

He says Hey Amy 😂👍

[@toocooltobeold]

While you were looking at the cypress lamp I was drooling over the pink glass.

[@Rose39M]

That viking glass is pulled glass giving it a more uniform shape also known as handkerchief vases. Swung vases have different or a variety of sizes of glass at the top from being literally swung while hot.

[@viktracey8232]

The reclining cat of Roger’s is amazing 😻

[@donnalipka74]

Yes, please! A shopping list would be great!

You guys get along so awesome so glad you met each other.

[@Silvie-xe5fc]

You, too, are adorable and a perfect match. Many more happy years together. God bless you !

[@Holly-dazed]

Wow! What a fabulous video today! I loved seeing the different ships and Rogers office, working hard . ❤

[@elizabethwright1201]

Some vintage Dollar Tree tchotchkes are actually collectible now. I had a darling nativity in the 90s and would love to have it again for the sweet memories. Because they were DT items I would let my then 2 year old son “play” with them and we would act out the Nativity story. He was always very careful and reverent (as well as a 2 year old can be!). What was I thinking when I sent it all to Goodwill??? 😮😢

[@shfrederick1]

Yes, I would love to see the list of your top 10 places to shop in Pa.

[@CretivityAj-nr3dg]

I loved the milk glass ruffle bowl, too bad it was chipped. I also loved the pink glass by the tree lamp. I thought I would feel so extra drinking out of that. I love milk glass & clear glass too. Great video!

[@janetargilagos6705]

Yes, please share your 10 top stores!

[@karylboyd4173]

Yes, I would love for you to post a list of your favorite thrift places and decor places to visit.

[@vonnieg3254]

Absolutely agree about a list ! We’re planning to bike the GAP trail and PA is SO on our list to spend extra time treasure hunting! We’re driving to the East coast and I absolutely want to treasure hunt along the way (and visit with friends and family!). Thank you, Karen, you magnificent human!❤🎉

[@cheryldavis8776]

I’m not sure of the exact origin of the phrase "You can’t make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.” (I do recall hearing it said in the popular TV series from the 1960’s, “The Beverly Hillbillies”!) But it means you can’t make something cultured and refined out of something crude and unsuitable. You can’t make something expensive out of something cheap. It can also mean “Don’t try to change something or someone into something they aren’t."

[@wesleyhielscher6972]

You missed an Eldreth pottery birdhouse at Mother tuckers at 28:55

[@debjones9312]

Hi Karen. Love your videos! FYI Jason and Tina are the owners of Mother Tuckers. Jason has a KZbin station and he does live sales as well. Also, yes a list of your top 10 places would be great. Thanks so much!

[@peacenow4456]

Nice visit to Rog's office. I'll bet more shelving is coming for those bare walls to free up floor space...

[@nancytest3609]

I watched a video a long time ago of a guy showing us that he wrapped a mug in bubblewrap, then in cardboard around it and threw it down the road, and it did not break. He stated as long as you wrap the outside in cardboard after the bubblewrap that nothing would break. He also stated that using the styrofoam peanuts never worked for him. So wrap up a mug and test it. Hope this helps.

[@KLeonardM]

Wow. All those dresses. I need to pause and grab a drink.

[@cyndimanka]

You are to pottery and baskets what I am to glass. I love glass. I’m obsessed with glass. I have my mom’s collection. I even bought a chipped bowl because it was so thick and heavy and absolutely stunning. There were a few chips around the edges at the top, but I didn’t care. I put them towards the back in my China cabinet.

[@janeclark4068]

Yes please, waiting on that list, even though I have been to a lot of the places you go to. I live in Virginia on the eastern shore near Chincoteague and visit the Lancaster area about twice a year.

[@brendarushka9966]

Yes a top 10 list would be great!

[@shannon_w.]

I used to work for a non-profit thrift store and we definitely had the dreaded clear glass shelves. I would try to merchandise the shelves to give new ideas on how you could use them, however they just didn't sell much unfortunately.

[@victoriaredington8498]

I would love it if you would put together a list of the top 10 places you shop. As I watch your videos, I take notes of where you’re thrifting in that video. Tomorrow I’m taking the day to shop at North Wales’ Goodwill just for fun and to practice the thrifting techniques that I’ve learned from you. I enjoy all your videos whether about thrifting, pulling solds, your landscaping, or even your eyelashes. Thank you for the work you put into your videos. They excite me about thrifting and give me many a chuckle.

I think the wooden thing you called a belt was a self-massager for back and neck… or it could be something used when women get lipo surgery to help drain and contour the body post opp

[@heiditate6989]

I have one of those papasan chairs (egg chair) on my porch. It is so comfortable that I once fell asleep in it!

I believe the green pottery piece you were looking at towards the end is raku pottery.

Yes please! Would love to know your top 10.

[@LadyDiVintage1953]

Please don’t knock the clear glass and milk glass. I collect both. Depends on the item…I collect for beauty. I have found clear cut glass from the 1800s and turn of the century.

[@jenns37]

She’s looking at it from a resellers perspective. It’s pretty stuff but not worth much.

[@flakathy890]

I also love milk and clear glass. I don't think Karen was knocking them, though. They just aren't her thing. She's really into pottery, which isn't my thing. We all have different tastes.

[@tammyanderson3136]

The big ashtray is for cigars I have one exactly like it with a lot pheasant

[@flakathy890]

What a wonderful video, Karen. I learned a lot. It's always fun to spend time with you and Roger. He's into things i know nothing about so I always learn something from his input. Those were two fabulous stores. I love the colors of the Amish dresses when they were all hanging together. I live in Florida where we have tons of cypress knees. There was a local artist who took the knees and painted them. I have a piece my mom had bought that looks like the three wise men. I just love it.

[@GrandmasGonnaFlip]

The vase you bought, pretty green hankerchiff has a beautiful neck. It almost looks like an Egyption necklace. I love it. The peanuts coffee mug made me laugh. Too cute.

[@marymurphy1226]

The tulip glasses are Princess House, so was the Orchard pattern of plates and such you passed.

My guess on the Quail Ashtray is that it's for cigars because the indents where you place the cigars are larger. Great vids !

[@cyndimanka]

Oh I never say snow is gorgeous. I hate it. It snowed about a half an inch Valentines night and then it was mid 40s the next day so it was gone very quickly. It’s between 38 and 45 here in central Washington state and it’s going to be 50 starting Wednesday and then mid 50s for about four days. it shows a wintry mix today with a high of 41. But pretty much dry for the next 10 days. We head out for Vegas on Friday so I’m pretty excited to get down to the upper 60s.

[@Sunshine33333]

It must have been heavenly to have been able to walk throughout that beautiful thrift shop without screaming kids running around and husbands in the way taking up space holding their wife's coat. I get the feeling of this store being more quiet and peaceful to shop. Every time I go into a Goodwill, navigating the aisles is always such a hassle for me because of the crowds. Absolutely wonderful trip Karen & Roger

[@elizabethmanser4847]

I would love your top 10 places to shop. I will be visiting Lancaster in June with my sister and we love to hunt for treasures.
