What's on your "to thrift" list? The sky's the limit, babies!!!! (also where my fellow floor sitters at aayyyyyy)

[@snybies]

I want to thrift funky sweaters and other stuff that makes my dream of being a fairytale gnome witch come true.

[@bugssworlds]

Long button skirts and nice comfy sweaters and shirts! Also a fellow floor sitter (I’m currently watching this on the floor)

[@DanaBeaufait]

Tankards, linen, furs, metal belts. Ren Faire garb 😊

[@LuniNeko]

Overalls !! Above anything else! ❤ btw love your videos, Kathleen ❤

[@studiopenpea]

This is so off topic but where did you get the big chain necklace that you’re wearing in the beginning segment of the video??? I must know! 👹

[@juliannajackson7844]

When I go into the thrift store looking for something specific I never find what I need, but when I go in just to look I always find so many goodies

[@rochelle2758]

Same, although just last month I went by Goodwill on a whim looking for a cropped black denim jacket, and I found one!!! It had a stupid “distressed” bottom edge that looked like it had been attacked by a shark, but adding a proper bottom band with stash fabric was easy. Maybe thrift karma can change!

[@Sapphire.S]

So happy to find your channel❤

[@mariaromano2755]

Same 😂

[@PonderingLifeUK]

That was my problem for so long, and then one day, I decided to keep an open mind, and just grab anything that appealed to me; I have found so many gems that way, including the basic tees etc that I was hoping to find. I’ve also found that knowing which stores tend to have the most stuff I like, is helpful.

[@megan_mackenzie]

My mom has this gift. I say, "hey mom I need a cat carrier" or "vintage potato masher" or "mug that says happy 10th anniversary " and by the next week, she's found at least two different options. I, on the other hand, go to look for a basic lampshade or a simple picture frame, and there's nothing. It truly is a gift. And a willingness to go multiple times a week at random times of the day.

[@rhythmandblues_alibi]

Too true. You are either blessed or forsook 😩

[@sofapop653]

I keep a “grocery list” of things I want to thrift on my grocery list app. Once I get in the thrift my mind will go blank if I don’t remind myself why I’m there. 😂

[@Bonnatella]

Yes! This is something I do as well. It helps keep me grounded in the beautiful chaos of thrifting ✌️✨

[@sofapop653]

@@Bonnatella it really changes the game! I still get a bit chaotic, but at least it feels like directed chaos!

[@limitless3765]

While anyone can do what they want, I absolutely love that you mentioned buying warm things in moderation because some people rely on them for warmth!! I see so many thrifters who (innocently, I believe) buy so many special items (wedding or prom dresses to just use for regular use especially) or thick good quality items in excess just because they can! If you have lots of good warm things already, please consider leaving those kinds of special items for people who really need them to be accessible!

[@lisa_wistfulone7957]

This is such good advice! I’d also recommend that thrifty gals leave the plus sized sweaters (and the children’s XL sweaters) for the people who actually need those sizes. It’s difficult for full figured ladies to find pretty clothes when they’re competing with everyone who wants oversized, or for preteens who need something grown-uppish but are competing with young women who scout the kids’ racks. Especially regarding winter clothes, when it’s most needed.

[@gailwilliams5278]

Or buy them and donate them to a shelter where you KNOW they will go to someone who actually needs them.

[@carochan86]

​@@lisa_wistfulone7957 I feel like larger sizes are the hardest to find.

[@shaynannigans]

So I thrifted my wedding dress and the reason that’s crazy is I was looking for a purple or green beaded gown. And it took several months but I found it at the thrift store for $40 in dark teal. And it fit. Super crazy.

[@meowdee]

The thrift store gives you what you need, not what you want! 😄

[@unicornsteaks]

I’m always hunting for tiny things to craft with… that I then hoard like a troll because they are too cute and tiny to actually craft with 👀

[@beeb6730]

Relatable!

[@xingcat]

The past few weeks, my Mom has had me checking to find a really large, round, shallow pasta dish for her when I've hit the thrift stores, and they've been impossible to find. I saw one on sale that was PERFECT at HomeGoods while I was there today, and I bought it and I feel a little bit sullied by not holding out for second-hand, but we're having pasta for Christmas Eve, so I wanted to make sure she got her dish before then.

[@aristi_cthonia]

I didn't realize until Kathleen talked about being very particular about choosing the right piece, but curation is 100% my thrifting love language as well. That's the reason a vintage a telephone/"gossip" bench has been on my "to thrift" list forever now (well, that plus the fact that everyone takes gorgeous antique wood and covers it up with such modern paint colors, which is a sin against vintage in my humble opinion.)

[@christinamann3640]

In my experience, the answer is yes, but only in the off season. I was once telling a coworker about a beautiful sweater I found in a summer heat wave. I said, “watch me find a summer dress in February.” I did, and still have it.

[@KathleenIllustrated]

yes, you're so right!!!! 🍀 that's a pro thrift tip right there 🫡🫡🫡

[@Mimulus2717]

My local value village only puts out sweaters in the winter and shorts in the summer, it's so annoying!

[@Wheezywatches]

The comfiest coziest happiest little KZbin video there ever was! Weirdly enough I’ve had an ice cream scoop on my thrift list for a long time, but like you said, I’m picky about it being a weighty metal one so still waiting for my soul mate. Also appreciated your conversation around being thoughtful with cold weather clothing. I feel like this is especially important with kids coats.

[@lesliebrown5446]

I went to a garage sale was looking for a crock for utensils for my guy in either red or black. Well they had one of each with some kitchen things and inside the one he wanted was an ice cream scoop. Happy hunting.

[@rixanoz]

It’s kind of encouraging to know that thrift the wishlist is hard even in the land of plenty

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Totally!!! 💪🏼

[@aleatoirefrancais]

Seriously! I get discouraged because I feel like my stores don't have the good stuff so it's helpful to see these plentiful stores not provide occasionally!

[@anjaprachtstueckwerk7546]

Yes to second hand gifting! I always look for preloved pieces when I want to gift something that would be far out of my price range when bought new. It´s such a fun challenge to get the item you want within a budget.

[@nanimaonovi2528]

I work at the library and this year we put a big pile of regifted books under the tree and called them Fraggle Presents, as in "When I give a gift to you I know you're going to give it too that's why giving's what we do! Pass it on!" Some funny things have turned up. Like a guide to kilt tartans and a kid's book about farting grannies. It's been so much fun!

[@au_barb]

I also work at a library and I love this so much!

[@elviraojeda3663]

That's such a cute idea

[@carochan86]

Fraggle Presents? Like Fraggle Rock dance your cares away worries for another day Fraggle Rock?

[@natasharouse1932]

For coat racks / other larger furniture-y items, estate sales are really where it’s at.

[@alabamalove24]

my mom thrifted a pink Stanley cup this summer in North Carolina and we couldn’t believe it. it was literally like $2. and it was her dream color. the thrift gods really listen!!!! 💕✨

[@thejenmath]

I think that's why I like thrifting: I never go in with a plan of what I want, so every trip is a surprise. Kind of takes the pressure off.

[@liddybird3608]

Vintage in everything. Natural fabrics esp wool or linen. Sewing notions. Jewelry. Whatever catches my eye.

[@malmnn]

For years I was looking for a faux fur leopard coat. Whenever I saw one it either didn't fit, or wasn't the right style. BUT THEN last year there it was! For $17 ! So don't give up hope, you'll find it eventually!

[@janicestewart8291]

I found your channel then realized you are from Columbus. I was born and raised there and lived in German Village. I now live 3 hours away, but would always come home to visit my Mom. We loved hitting thrift stores there...more back in the day. I'm 64 now and I'm a thrift store/ flea market goer. It's been awhile since I have thrifted there however. The last time I hit what was called; "Ohio Thrift" stores, the prices were alot more than they were. My Mom loved hitting the hardwares areas first lol. I was all over the place lol There are great deals to find but I think the key is having patience when going in. You have to be ready to take time and look. It also helps to have an idea of what it is you are hoping to find. I love, love, love outdoor fleamarkets cause people that come and set up are wanting to sell and will work with you on their prices more than not. It's one of those times when you gotta get out there during the warmer seasons and get there early. Thank you for sharing your time here with us...keep thrifting and crafting. Happy Holidays

[@PatDooley50]

I really loved the black and white grampa sweater

[@Bonnatella]

I went thrifting on Saturday night, about 30 minutes before closing.....i had been watching a period drama that had the most beautiful quilted coats " man id love something like that, I'll prob just end up making one"......... I found one on the first aisle I meandered down that fit me just right. KISMET. Have a great week everyone!! 🎉❤

[@k1tkat-kate]

There have been a couple times I've found exactly what I was looking for at the thrift store - my favourite was a replica red plaid mini skirt that Jenna Coleman wear in Doctor Who - but if I'm on a specific deadline, I don't often find what I need. You can be real specific in what you want, or you can have a deadline you need to find the item by. It's very difficult to do both and find exactly what you need (in a physical store, anyways).

[@GlamburgerGlam]

I almost never find something specific that I'm looking for, but when I go in just to see if anything stands out to me, I pretty much always find at least a couple things. That's really the way I prefer to thrift...just seeing what treasures await me there, and if I find something that's on my thrifting wishlist, that's just a super awesome bonus.

[@Athenrein]

In the side quest category, I'm on the lookout for a nice wooden jewelry box. I also always keep an eye out for wool sweaters that may be looking a bit sad but that I could unravel and recycle into a new crocheting project.

[@astellus]

Oh my gosh, that vacuum was the vacuum from the Brave Little Toaster! Kirby was legit his name! 😊 My grail is always old puzzles and games. I've got a few 80's and 90's games I'm hunting for, and the really old springbok puzzles from the 60's

[@jellyglass3]

Modern Kirbys are very high-end. Not sure about the older models. Probably collectable

[@Rhaifha]

My "thrift list" is mostly "cute clothes that fit me and make me laugh", lol. Like, where are the fun goose prints at?! Oh and sparkle. The magpie brain must have sparkle

[@Megaloid]

When I go looking for exact things, it'll always take longer to find them. When I go with nothing in mind, then I find the thing I didn't even realize I wanted/needed. Cool artwork, lamps, and flowerpots are what I'm always looking for though.

[@lesliebrown5446]

I love to thrift. I live in a small town with only 2 thrift stores. A Goodwill and a Salvation Army. I popped into the Goodwill to just look around. I collect Converse sneakers so I have to look at the shoes. I found a super cute pair of ballet flats, I put them in the cart it's a little busy. I was completely blown away. They are a pair of Hermes yes Hermes ballet flats. In my size. And the color of the tag was .99

[@Adventurepets333]

I’m not sure if you’ve already done this but I’d love to see a video of your favorite vintage brands/tags to look out for. Loved your video with all the tips! For my thrift list it’s currently minimal since I plan to move late may but I need jeans which is my least favorite shopping.

[@KadeKuro]

First off, it was such a fun surprise to run into you at Goodwill this Saturday! I texted my bf about it and they said I should've gotten a selfie with you, lol, maybe if we run into each other again? hope you found some treasure ❤ Second, my to-thrift is definitely a cute pair of full legged overalls with All the pockets ❤ I got close awhile back but the front side pockets were fake! Holding out hope tho, I know I'll find my perfect overalls someday...

[@KathleenIllustrated]

awwww i hope you have fun on your thrifting day! thank you for saying hi & yes we'll totally get a selfie next time 🤘 fingers crossed for your perfect overalls! they're so hard to find 😣 i've noticed they're sometimes randomly hiding in the maternity section...... best of luck!

I feel like I often find what I am looking for, putting out my needs into the universe. I also have an open mind and find things I wasn’t looking for but def need. This year I thrifted almost all the fabric needed for making Xmas gifts, also found stocking stuffers. I’m here for thrifted/serving hand gifts.

[@tarabartlett2184]

That black and white sweater looks like something Dan Levy would wear, which means it’s fabulous.

[@YuniX2]

Not right now, but I cosplay and frequently search for thrift items with specific structural elements that I can deconstruct and use as Frankensteinable pattern pieces. Way easier than trying to draft my own patterns, or looking for a pre-made pattern with all the right parts. Sometime I find simple cosplay pieces like shoe bases at the thrift store too.

I’m glad you weren’t in the same thrift store as me in December. I found a gorgeous angora wool blend blanket woven in the colors of a tropical sunset. I think it must have been stored in a trunk for the past 20 years. Now, you’re obviously younger and stronger than me, but you know, I’m old and wily, so maybe I would have had a shot at it if we both spotted it at the same time, but the thrifting gods were with me and there was no competition. I hope you will or did find one just as beautiful.

[@rainyhaze2053]

My xmas/30th bday gift for myself this year was, that after almost 2 years, I finally found the ✨perfect✨ shelving unit for my tiny apartment! The inspection tag on the back is marked March 3rd 1970.

[@dar4835]

[@Skullsoversins]

There was a time when I went to a Thrift Store and they had this ugly but cute green Kohl’s mug. I never intended to look for one and never knew that Kohl’s had mugs but I bought it because it was different and that’s why I love it so much. 😂😂 I love my dark green, not so pretty Kohl’s mug but it is a conversation piece and from then on I am always on a hunt for unusual kitchen ware. I also found a Joe’s Crab Shack glass jar, bought it, and I love it just as much. ❤🤣 I’m using it right now for some iced tea actually. 😌

[@keikodarling]

A lot of those glasses with the silver looking rims, especially if they are vintage, are actually platinum. I have my grandmother's from the 50s. They are amazing.

[@funkytrunkfashion]

I love the fancy popped pinky at the end 😅 Almost all my gifts are thrifted or handmade this year. I've been slowly collecting items for approx 6 months because I like to find good stuff and I hate last min shopping before Christmas specifically. Can't wait for the extra video!

[@kass1736]

ive been hunting for a corduroy jacket for months and just found one tossed on a bin of bags in the shoe section for 5CAD!!! Perfect colour and size, sometimes when you have a vision it takes time but it is worth it knowing you got exactly what you wanted, its a very rewarding feeling

First time visiting your channel and I was surprised to see the same thrift stores I regularly shop at.

[@susanma4899]

My story: I was looking for a cover for the bed in my guest bedroom. It's a double bed, but I found a single-sized duvet that was PB Teen--high quality and exactly the colors I wanted (lots of paisleys). I laid it sideways across the bed and let it drape over the sides (it's a poster bed with long legs). The duvet was half price that day--I paid $2.50 for it.

[@LifeLostSoul]

One thing I do while thrifting: when I find something that's really cool but I'm not going to buy for this reason or that reason. I try to put it to a place where it can be seen easier by other shoppers who might appreciate how beautiful it is and be able to find the joy in that item for themselves.

[@NighttimeDaydreams]

I'm always looking for sweaters and comfy statement pants, and wool sweaters are such a treasure to find, especially where I live where the weather is wacky and inconsistent. I also have way too many jackets, because I just love being eccentric when I can, and it's hard to do that in the same old gray puffy jacket. I mean, c'mon. Anyways, I felt like the luckiest thrifter alive when I found a bright red suede jacket- very sharp- and it fit. I also always find the greatest trenchcoats at thrift stores, and it's nice to at least appreciate them, even when they don't fit. Silk scarves are also always on my list. They're so great.

[@sharonwhitley2951]

Yeah, as a seasoned thrifter, I would say it can take five times or stops to find exactly what you’re looking for. Unless you’re lucky! Which can happen!

[@GeekyBoutiquey]

All my items I find at thrift stores are side quest items. But Food saver bags are always an instant buy because they're so expensive! But so is food spoiling in the freezer. Today's side quest find was from a literal yesterday video watching Jazza's Temu finds. I wanted to try the glass pen dipping and I was very happy to say I found a 6 pack for a few bucks a long with the Animal Crossing joystick adapter that matches my Animal Crossing themed Switch. Two shmeckles! I did find an "exactly what I need" moments when I found a very nice pair of winter Timberland boots in deep blue and warm leather color that made me melt. Basically brand new for twenty five doll hairs. I was obsessed.

[@maya-gur695]

I have a black vintage sweater vest on my winter thrift wishlist, inspired by you! The question of "will I be able to find exactly what I'm looking for" is a question I ask myself a lot while thrifting abroad, actually. The thrift stores abroad are a lot better (and cheaper) than my local ones, so I travel with a wishlist to make the most of the prices and the older items.

Typically when I'm specifically looking for something it's for others.I usually try to find mugs with random names on them so when I make them into presents with some snacks and tea/hot chocolate mixes it makes the gift fun! I especially love the knights round table restaurant ones. I miss seeing the rainforest Cafe ones. Another thing I usually like to look for is the grab bag stationary like those cards you found, those are so fun to find and to use and its always easy for presents or just to make a quick note for someone!

I’ve been thrifting for what I call “the proverbial” red blouse for months now. I visit the 8 nearby thrift stores weekly to no avail. But I do not despair. I know -as every hardcore thrifter knows- that she will find me when the time is right. And we’ll live happily forever after. And yes… she’s worth the wait. Meanwhile, the odd treasure sticks to my hand as I’m looking, and it’s often something else I wanted for years but couldn’t find or afford.
