I love the way you and The Niche Lady respect even the items you decide to put back “ for someone else to enjoy”. Kindness on display. :)

[@carolynhester6827]

I hope they have sacks to wrap your things..where I go no sacks how pitiful😢

[@LadyDiVintage1953]

I love Niche Lady…she tells the whole story…the who, what, when, where, why.

[@corky52360]

Ok Karen, you might have to start with your own line of merch! “ Do we like a good chicken? Yes we do! “ what a great T-shirt! 🤣

[@LadyDiVintage1953]

Yes Karen…get a merch line….with some sayings you use while shopping. Of course the do we love, Hum…interesting. We all know that story.

[@oliviaw5132]

​@@LadyDiVintage1953yes! I'll buy some merch!

[@vlrissolo]

Lots of cat folks out here... a wooden kitty shelf sitter with dangling legs would be perfect with my Victorian decor!

[@TurkeyCreekGal]

15:11 it's a nut grinder. I have my grandma's and still use it ❤

[@LindaKayHolevas]

I have my grandma’s, too! It works great!

[@denisewright4778]

Yes, a nut grinder. I remember my mother having one.

[@jamieomahen2656]

The wax heart was made and sold in Germany as a souvenir back in the 1980’s. I brought back a dozen or more in various shapes for my friends and family. I can’t remember which part of Germany they were sold but at that time they were specific to a region.

[@kk-ko5pj]

i think they were common all over germany, but in bavaria especially… we had small ones for the christmastree😊

[@tinaindina7032]

The ones I have are from Bavaria. I have family there and they are often (these days) used as ornaments on Christmas trees. I have some vintage ones. Have sold some in my vintage shop on Etsy, and I think I have one set left. So pretty.

[@jeanlavergne9725]

Your little grinder that you didn't know what you would grind....It's for grinding shelled nuts.😊

[@fergwriter]

That grinder is a nut grinder for walnuts or almonds when baking

[@karenkuhr5698]

Or nutmegs for Tom and Jerry's or eggnog at Christmas time

[@jonnellburgess3437]

Wow the graduation gifts were nice. All we got was a kick in the butt out the door!😅

[@kdnick8584]

Having first generation American Italian patents, I was guilted into believing that I couldn't leave until I married. When I turned 24 and still not married, I bolted. By then, I guess they were tired of having three grown single daughters at home.

[@toniagarcia2885]

Karen, the tea pot looks like Mrs. Potts on the Disney movie Beauty and the Beast . Chip's [ the tea cups ] mom.

[@glendasully]

I don't think any amount of soap & water will clean cat urine. It's vile! Another great video

[@livingbyfaithwithbenji8909]

I think u are correct!

[@brendawhitt1964]

A trick you can spray Lysol on the leaves and it cleans the leaves

[@pattihuesken9583]

Love that tumbleup in that cobalt colour Karen, very pretty! ❤

[@jau2552]

Walnut grinder. Mom used to have one like that.

[@susanwelch2237]

Another party in Goodwill! What can l say? Only you can come up with that. Love your attitude! Great video! You and Roger are so inspiring! Hardworking couple but always having fun!

[@barymaria6571]

Karen you are very gifted !! Your a book of good knowledge. 👍 😊❤❤❤❤❤

[@thisalotoftat4949]

Yes definitely a nut grinder! This brings back such great memories, when I was a little girl I would help my grandmother make Christmas cookies and she used this to chop walnuts. I wish I had her's so I may have to buy your's😊 thanks for showing that! ❤

[@JamieTressler-mc3it]

Hi Karen, I was watching videos from the past and present and I’m not sure where I saw you pick up a clear chicken made of glass with an open bottom and put it back. My mom said when she was a child, Candy came in those and they had a cardboard cover on the bottom. You will find chickens, bunnies,ducks, glass cars. I’ve even seen a carriage and horse. Some of them are replicas but some of them are original to the 50s when she was a child and she has some of them. Shes will be 83 years old And when she was up in Lancaster, she saw Roger at a thrift store. We’re coming up soon to thrift. We hope to see you.

[@JamieTressler-mc3it]

She was born in 39, so those glass candy holders are older than that.

[@catherinewhitman8333]

Loved wall paper...when I was a kid we had some like that in our bathroom except it had a foil texture. AWESOME! 😎

[@LannieLord]

Foils and flocked wallpapers do really well on eBay.

[@HollyGeee]

Fun trip!

[@brianhenry2385]

Harry Potter Wands: when running comps, make sure you check the model/UPC because some have inter-active electronics in them and those sell for more then the commons. Same is true of other theme park wands, such as those from Great Wolf Lodge, where my granddaughters go.

[@rockymountainreseller3858]

Those glass lamp chimneys are for oil lamps I believe.

[@livingbyfaithwithbenji8909]

Yes and I think the lamp she bought probably came with a big round globe not sure

[@mmann9330]

OMG the blue tumble up would be perfect for me I have been looking for a blue vessel for mouthwash and the match box reminds me of my grandmother. Love love your style.

[@angieyoucandoit9436]

I seen on Pinterest where people make accordion blinds out of wallpaper. That print would be groovy.

[@suzeburgess1370]

That wallpaper would be great for Mellissa!

[@susanbreaux3802]

I have the rooster that matches the hen you picked up! Love you and Roger!!😊

[@amyhamilton2201]

Karen, I find I love watching Melissa too. For all sorts of reasons, but I love how similar your voices are. You both help my visual aesthetic. I prefer wood and books, but struggle with art and other stuff.

[@johnmelissaziech6207]

Studio Nova is Mikasa, a California company started by a Japanese-American. They make lovely things.

[@gailjiles1778]

Gotta have that cute blue glass bathtub at the end.

[@mildredkever9376]

It is a nutmeg grinder. Love your videos!

[@organizersrus]

We get to shop with you! Yay! ❤

[@patriciarobinson5909]

The bedside water pitcher and glass is called a tumble up!

[@giselawilliams1877]

You in PA and alas Vegas have the best Goodwills🥰

[@fergwriter]

That wooden shelf with the hooks would be to hang necklaces

[@samanthacoates3892]

The believe hooks might be for Christmas stockings x

[@Fam4Moore]

I got my Lane box in the early 90's when I graduated from High School.

[@shellyswan3011]

Same!

[@cheryldavis8776]

And I got mine in the early 1960s! 1962, to be exact

[@OutandAboutHunting]

The grinder is an antique nutmeg grinder.

[@dawneddinger3162]

We had that wallpaper in the 70’s 😂

[@ThisBetterBeGood]

I used to have those iron candle holders. I’m pretty certain that I got them at Kohls. And I think the Believe metal hooks would be for Christmas stockings if you don’t have a fireplace. 😅

[@sheilacolton3274]

Oh my goodness , I had that same wallpaper in my dining room 40+ years ago 🙂

[@HannahBMann]

Re: Video of Odd Things at Goodwill--it would be hilarious to watch them like a blooper reel at the end of the year. Honorable mention lol xo

[@marleybedford8628]

I love how you smoothly and strategically placed your thumb to pick up Botticelli’s Venus and keep her modesty. 😊❤

[@tammywasko5531]

Karen - for those crystal chandeliers you could get clip-on lamp shades. They clip right onto the bulb. Because you may never find a hurricane that fits that crown!

[@WillowNook]

I sell my Limoges plates every time for 40-45.00 but royal albert... nope. It's funny how all of us can sell different things. Love that. Thanks for taking us along🌷🌷

[@cynthiamatteson43]

Necklace holder on the shelf with hooks and bracelets on the rod

[@CathieG]

Love your channel Karen! 🤩 Can u do a video or videos on what sold that week or the current week? 🤔 Maybe you have some and I don’t know…. I loved the end of the one maybe a month ago or so where you packed up 4 or 6 things and got them ready to ship! 👍🏻🥰

[@lavenderclothesline]

That would be a crazy long video 😂 you can just look at my eBay store

[@CathieG]

@@lavenderclothesline lol but that’s not the same 😩

[@kathiekesterson9635]

I love that little bird. So beautiful!

[@kimsantamaria6617]

Hi Karen, that wallpaper is EVERYTHING! Great job! Love Kim

[@karenwotton8903]

Hi Karen! The shelf with the small hooks could be a family Birthday Shelf with each family members birthday tag hanging from the hook

[@tammywood4352]

I use one for all of my bead necklaces. Easy to grab and know what you're looking for. I made one to match my bedroom decor❤❤❤❤

[@janetsmith3322]

I made two shelves like that to hang necklaces on. I bought the shelves at GW and added small cup hooks.

[@patriciarobinson5909]

Love the mug because it has the orange interior!

[@lionheart830]

Yes, it is different!

[@shannon_w.]

I have made some of those wax pieces. They are a great way to get rid of candles that can no longer burn 😊

[@Snoops510]

I especially loved the pastel watercolor. Nice video.

[@cheryldavis8776]

Based on the information on the back of the art, I'm relatively sure it's a print of the original watercolor. Very pretty!

[@2CMY]

Went to a (California) Goodwill yesterday and the color of the week was purple for 50% off. I heard a manager talking to an employee saying "take down all the merchandise with purple tags." I asked them why they were taking the purple tag items to the back and they denied it. Shady!

[@janewild9150]

The cobalt piece is called a Tumble Up! 💕

[@heatherhoffman9719]

Sweet little lamp, yes please! Little box is great! What a fun group of thrifers! Can't wait to find that watercolor of the mill! Ahhh a tumble UP water jar!

[@judybeller4627]

Nuts. We had one when I was a child.

[@joycehalstead]

Love the video ❤❤❤❤

[@redviperk2696]

The things with the dangely legs are shelf sitters. Because they sent on the end of the shelf

[@LindaKayHolevas]

Oh my gosh, I LOVE the wallpaper @ 19:48 ! It would look amazing in my Boho home!! You always finds so many amazing treasures. It just blows my mind how great your thrifting is! 😊 Thanks for sharing :) P.S. I’ve been looking for a small Lane hopechest. I have my mom’s full-size chest & I want a smaller matching one.

[@lizlazfigueroa8930]

9:05 I’ve always liked the way you spell things out 😊

[@lionheart830]

Love that rose lamp.

[@lindacunningham1574]

I have that same "grinder" that my mom had for years. She always used it for chopping pecans or walnuts for Christmas cookies.

[@maryjoymath3545]

Nice haul!!! Thank u!!!💞💞🙃💞💞

[@rachelshaw2610]

The grinder is for nuts and the cobalt blue item is called a tumble-up for water bedside.

[@melindam8868]

The believe holder might be for Christmas stockings if you don’t have a mantle.

[@almafrisius7358]

❤❤❤😊😊😊Yaaay!!!

[@dani7118]

LOVE LOVE LOVE that vintage wallpaper and hope to buy it from you - I'll be on the lookout for when you post it on ebay.

[@tinaandre9905]

Karen, that wallpaper is EVERYTHING. I did make the trip to goodwill 30. I love it but it is really far for me, so I go to Shillington on occasion instead.

[@HRHQueenAngelita]

You are the party!!!!

[@lavenderclothesline]

😂🎉 you are so sweet!

Tumble up- glass and pitcher

vejus statue would be cool as a vanity piece to some pieces of jewelry in teh shell in the bak perhaps pearls, stud earrings. rings

[@barbarascarpa26]

Hi to you both.❤❤

[@deannaroby9630]

In Arizona Goodwill takes returns within 7 days of purchase with receipt for merchandise only. It’s great because those hard to research items can be thoroughly investigated at home.

[@seaside2001]

Totally with you on word things in the house. I hate it when I go into someone's house and the walls are telling me what to think and how to behave. Hey girl, I am a natural blonde with green eyes. (I just lied, I was until it stated turning grey so now I help my hair out a bit with colour). lol

[@poshbird7784]

The clear glass shades you were looking at are for oil lamps or at the least candles. Not modern lamps with lightbulbs. 😮

[@Willsthriftingadventures]

Hello Karen and Roger!!

[@kellygates9058]

Grinder is for nuts!

[@loubatchman236]

Lane cedar chests were Lang before that, in the 40's

[@LisaSmith-sc5zs]

I think the grinder is for cheese and nuts...I have one just like it from Grandma!!

That is so funny just last night I said to myself I wonder if they still make the bedside water pitchers with the accompanying glass? Wow am I happy to see that I can guzzle some water during the night😂 thanks for another great video❤

[@vlrissolo]

[@tinaranson6172]

See you real soon!

[@karenkuhr5698]

I laughed out loud when you were holding those wrought-iron candle holders upside-down and was wondering what they would be used for. I get such a kick out of you, and when you do silly things like that, you don't edit them out.

[@lesmeyer318]

the glass shades are part of an oil lamp.

[@cheryldavis8776]

Clear glass chimneys for kerosene/oil lamps

Hi Karen lv Ann uk ❤️❤️❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@margaretfinney6546]

My goodwill in Nh gives you a return credit, up to 14 days with your receipt. But it is very small compared to the ones you go too. Love your channel.🌺

[@ElizabethDamitz]

I still have my Lane cedar chest from 1978. I think furniture store was called Pinky's in Myerstown Pa. Yes an offer to local high school girls graduating they asked to you look at bigger cedar chests and do a survey. In return you got a smaller chest. I keep pins in mine and my passport.

[@isabeljeffries7282]

[@sandispady9058]

Matchstick or toothpick box.

[@megandaniels3875]

Wow 😮No return in the goodwill? In Indiana Fort Wayne. We get #7 days to return. And thank you for sharing so much. I'm a newbie to your channel. Just Sub couple wks ago. But been on Mercari for four years. You have motivated me to try eBay out. I'm going to add all my house items and some clothing this weekend. I'm terrified 😢😂.. We'll see how it goes. I've been thifting since I was little. My granny took me along with her. I'm hooked. You and your husband make me want to buy more men's clothing. 99.9% (500+ items)of my sales are my own stuff. I go through weeding out stuff I don't want. Can't fit. You are loved 💗 I'm going out this weekend " going to get what's mine. Said this summer I will start going out of town thifting. Close towns / cities

[@awretchlikeme8936]

Indiana here too, Lafayette. I do like the fact that we have returns but so disappointed that we no longer have color of the week or Senior Citizen Wednesday 😢.

[@miriambrooks1087]

"Goodwill Industries of North Carolina" (GINC) has very little going for it in Apex, Cary, Holly Springs, and Fuquay Varina, NC. It is sad! There are no carts in Holly Springs and Apex!😮 I must take a drive to the Northeast Raleigh area and also Durham, NC.

The tumble ups should be saleing really good now if is vintage it sales for more.

[@user-nc3em7sj4s]

I have a whole collection of those nutmeg grinders.

[@brendabunnell6759]

Karen do you use used boxes with writing on them to ship your items that we can find at stores when they unpack their stock, would like to use them to save on shipping material but not sure if I should.
