You can get wicker wet. It won't hurt anything. I soak thrifted baskets all the time to clean them so your decanter should be fine to hand wash.

[@LaLadybug2011]

I wouldn't plunge it down into water-just wash it without submerging it into water. And it's ok if the wicker gets a little wet

[@Sandy-oe5mh]

@@LaLadybug2011 in order to make baskets they literally soak the pieces so they will bend. Soaking them won't hurt them.

[@reneawest9021]

I soak my baskets once a year to c.ean them, never has hurt them. I feel it even helps prevent drying put and breakage

[@Sandy-oe5mh]

@@reneawest9021 you can use furniture wax on them too. It conditions the baskets like it would a wood table.

[@milliehouston1089]

I do the same with mine, just be sure to dry it well

[@barbarahartzog7631]

Polident will clean that piece with the basket weave. Hang the lanterns in the murder columns. The purse the swans and the mirror are my favorites. But I love everything you got.

[@lornalessing2080]

Lol that's exactly what I was going to suggest!! Gotta decorate the murder columns!!🤣

[@MissMolly3377]

Yes. I use polident in all of my cases. Works so good.

[@rebeccafrancis8227]

The Coach purse looks authentic. On the inside there will be a square of leather with numbers imprinted on it. The date when the purse was made will be there. It is very pretty. I would pay $30 for it!

[@jaynebrown693]

OH MY….. I AM SO EXCITED THAT YOU GOT THAT GOLD MIRROR AND THE SWANS ❤️❤️❤️. !!!! I am dying over those …LOL!!! Then the Coach Bag… you are a girl after my own heart! I buy my Coach Bags used ( in good condition ) and I have had mine for 13-14 years…using it DAILY ! And it is similar to yours ! The older that leather gets, the more delicious it is ! I love the Purple Finch picture also! I love Bird pictures, prints, etc! The one you painted the mat on looks wonderful ! Never thought of painting mats ! You did really good ! Julie , I actually used a power tool yesterday… a table saw to cut spindles ! YES.. my husband showed me how to use it! I’m 65 years old and I was like a kid ! I want to room full of power tools! 😁😁😁😁 Can’t wait to see you start your wood projects again! Woooo Hooo !!!! Hugs coming down from snowy NYS ❄️❄️❄️💙💙💙❄️❄️❄️

[@serenakoleno9338]

I agree, swans, mirror and finch. I am 66 and love my tools! Don't have a room full, though. Nowadays it is easier to find tools to fit women's hands. Years ago I bought ryobi cordless drill cause they were the only ones that were smaller. The Hitachi cordless tools at Lowes are an affordable price, especially the combination packages. Definitely go for cordless! And figure out which ones you are really likely to use. Good luck. Should be some great sales this time of year.

[@KellyTrayah]

I saved all the labels and got the koolaid pitcher and the 4 cups! I was born in 1970 but I was so proud of mine.

[@lindapurdy8542]

The goodwill bins are amazing! I went for the first time in Iowa. I did spend but I got so many awesome deals. You should also watch the Niche lady also. She is a reseller and she gives you a recap of what she bought and what she will get for it.

[@crickettjd]

The swans and the mirror were my favorites. If you decide to separate the salt or pepper shaker, the top that screws off would make a great handle for one of the glass lamp globes like the one you made into a cloche recently. maybe take to measurement so when you run across one you like, you'll know if it will fit it.

[@jenniferteague8784]

I kid you not, I guessed every item that you bought at the Goodwills and the barn!!! Absolutely beautiful, perfect shopping day!!!!

[@julielatwinas7500]

OMG you are so funny when you get excited about something you bought. I'm the same way. Especially a basket. Love watching all your vidios.

[@joycejames5367]

Oh I drool over those swans

[@joannalexa2531]

We call it the Good Will dump here in NJ, lol. It’s where all the Good Wills dump their stuff that they can’t sell. Love the chair & the price.

[@DementiaWithGrace]

Love it all!! The swans are my favorite find! But I love it all! Have a wonderful time with that chair! ❤️❤️❤️🦩🦩🦩

[@michellelee5163]

You need to go back and scoop up those other two swans. I love them.

[@karenn993]

That basket with handle is likely a church collection basket. Your Bins is one of the best I've seen.

[@cposwife]

Hey there, Thank you for sharing all your goodies with us. It’s great that you’ve found some new places to shop. 🙂🙂🙂 My favorite favorite items were the *swans*!!! 💟🦢💟 You know how a child can spot the golden arches (McDonald’s) a mile away? Well, having been Mrs. Swan myself for 27 yrs, I have a trained eye, to spot ALL *Swan* figurines and decor, from a far off distance too. 🙂🙂🙂 It interesting that yours were made to be decoys, I’ve never heard of such a thing. How were they decoys? 🤔🤔🤔 Well, again thank you for sharing with us, your purchases, and how you’ll be using them in your home. The *swans* facing each other on your mantle, in front of your beautiful mirror look lovely, it’s a perfect spot for them… Take care, and have a blessed and wonderful Christmas season and New Year. ✝️⛪️💟 Maranatha

[@JuliesDesignsandSigns]

I asked the same thing about the swans. Apparently places up north they are a nuisance and are hunted.

[@sandrasanders9290]

I agree, the swans are amazing!

[@Crystal_Stephens]

I am so excited that you watch Crazy Lamp Lady too. She is the one who got me interested & excited about learning about vinatge. I now share a booth with my Aunt, at two locations. She can't believe how much I now know about vintage & reselling. It's so fun. Another great KZbinr that you will not regret bing watching is The Antique Nomad (George). I have literally ran into him filming at an antique mall while I was out of town. He is a wealth of knowledge & an exceptional teacher. Loved everything you found today. Thank you for taking us with you.

[@madisonlong122]

Watch the Crazy Lamp Lady's videos at the hoarder house...OMGOSH you will be amazed at the glassware they find...

[@tinacolecampbell]

I got a lovely Michael Khor’s purse at a local Goodwill for only $60! Love a good find!

[@KandyKoatedKrafts]

Minnow buckets make cool lamp shades! They project cool light patterns onto the wall

[@simplysherri1778]

Hi Julie, you crack me up at how excited you were to find the Kool Aide pitcher & cups. I'm from Hastings, Nebraska where Kool Aide was invented. ENJOY! Blessings.

[@ritakamback2690]

And I thought for sure those would be her favorite based on her sheer excitement over them haha! 😄

[@kerrymabile2225]

The swans and the mirror are my favorite, but of course you have a eye for all things!

[@katiebillings7074]

Amazing finds x love the mirror, swans , pictures - well the lot really 🤣

[@carolbuchel3011]

these were my favorites also!

[@everydaynicole1]

I spied that metal glider at Kilgores! Love those! Reminds me of my grandparents house. Good score on the decoy. My Dad collected them. Both the plastic and wood carved ones. When he passed they all went missing (my parents were divorced). I was so sad because I wanted one to give to my son. You got a lot of great things. The bird print is so pretty!

[@carolyost6733]

You are definitely the Queen of Thrifting. Such wonderful buys. Only you can find them. Hope you give us a Christmas tour of your Mississippi house.

[@crystallbell5545]

Oh my gosh I too am an 80's fan. Remember the plastic orange pineapple pitcher? I have that one. I think I gotta say I love those swans the most. The round frames and the vintage picture of the birds were great too.

[@andikennedy8874]

Wow. Awesome stuff. So jealous. That was so fun. I'm excited for you.

[@ggmandmi2870]

Succulents in the cast iron pots. You had a great haul Julie!

[@vilmabatres2872]

WOW! I really had a good time shopping with you. Dime things I said" take, take.." AND You did👏👏👌. Loved the swans..

[@robinsuek5499]

I love the wren picture in white, such great contrast to show it's winter joy ❤. Your enthusiasm for all the things you found is truly your artist's heart on display. Loved this video, thank you Julie!

[@marymack4105]

This was a fun one! Love the swans.

[@lilliecuster7780]

You always make me smile. Love your video's. I agree the swans are the best and they look awesome displayed in front of the mirror on your mantle. love, love, love

[@joniallen6880]

The mirror is definitely my favorite. I love the shape and $25 is a steal!

[@elbowgreasepaint7029]

Fantastic haul you got some great deals even at the antique store. The swans are great.

[@dorisbuckner]

Loved all u got but the mirror and the swans were my 2 favorites 🌹♥️

[@hazel1960]

For me the swans but I would have had to have them all like a little family Like your enthusiasm it’s fabulous

[@debrahart4888]

A thought for your octagonal birds; cut out around the birds, make a new drop cloth or cheese cloth background, use your IOD stamps or transfers for branches… greenery… floral… whatever setting you want. Then put your birds back into their new environment (I’d put the birds on a stiff backing and use foam dots to make them 3D setting off the print.) Black frames / white wax.

[@serenakoleno9338]

Great idea! I was wondering if she could play around with copying them in black and white.

[@janetdavis5619]

When you picked up the duck decoy I was saying buy it Julie!!! Love it and the swans are fabulous! Love the baskets too, heck I love it all!

[@lanielouwraps]

Great haul! I love the mirror and the lanterns. I have a problem with lanterns, I hoard them 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@janawilliams5808]

Wow!!! You found amazing treasures!!! Loved them all!

[@susanconnolly3943]

This video makes me want to go thrifting. Love the mirror that piece is fabulous🎉❤️

[@ashleychamp1544]

I love those swans! 🦢

[@janehunter2560]

You made me laugh several times during this video, so thanks for that! And I loved the purse and the mirror (and everything else you got).

[@elliesuttey1721]

Wow what great finds .. I’m with you the swans are definitely my favourite 😍 they looked so pretty on the mantle xxx. Loved this video sweetheart always great to have a look around thrift stores 👏🏻♥️xxxx

[@marciapeterson7328]

Yep, the swans and purse. My favs too. Great scores on it all.

[@rondahoward5341]

Love it all! My favorites are a toss up of the mirror and the swans!

[@carolynauerswald5239]

The Swans are everything! And add the mirror to them!! I could feel your excitement! Your hauls were amazing. The pleasure of thrifting for me is finding one of a kind items at a bargain price! I am excited for you!

[@marymoyer1773]

Hi Julie!! Great haul..I love everything you got !! I wanted to share that I use the tablets to clean dentures in my jugs and such that I can't get clean..it takes the dirt and foggy look away.. without scrubbing..I get the tablets at the Dollar Tree..I am glad you found the purse..so nice..I have been looking for the accordion wall hangers too..when I saw those two laying there..I was like omg!!! Happy you bought them.. Thank you for sharing!! Take care

[@sherrystills4879]

Loved the swans and hanging baskets! Great finds!

[@wildoats96]

OMG!!! The Kool Aid set is so awesome! I just saw a cup the other day at GW and I looked and looked for the rest but never found it. We had that set when I was a kid. Such nostalgia!

[@louanderson786]

Definitely the swans! I love, love, love swans!

[@TRoth858]

Wow! You are so lucky to have a goodwill that has reasonable prices. And that is organized. All of the ones in the San Diego look like a tornado has gone through them. It doesn't matter what time of the day either. And I have yet to find anything worth flipping. MS is awesome though. The thriftshops, antiques, yard sales, and auctions are just crazy amazing. You always find the coolest things. I just finished watching the video. It's funny cause the way your video started, in the car, then the way you were talking abt the items, I immediately thought of the crazy lamp lady. I used to love watching her. But it's pretty much the same every time, so I haven't watched in a while. She is a sweetie though. I was also thinking when you went in to the place with booths, that it won't be long before you have a booth there. I bot freaked when I saw all that cast iron. That's where I would have gotten in trouble. Cast iron is hard to find in San Diego. And when you do find it, it is soooo expensive. And there is never any of the old, worth a ton pieces. Not that I would ever sell any I find. I love me some CI. I have to say that I was the happiest when you mentioned getting back to working with wood again. That's what I love the best about you, and your wood videos. You were just down to earth real. I truly hope you don't try to turn in to all the cloned you tubers. I have unsubscribed, & stopped watching so many people cause they are ALL the same. They use the same words, the same rhythm of talking, and the same style of decor. The key words are said in all of them. So I hyst picked the ones I like best, and bailed on the rest. I want what I watch to be quality, not quantity. I want unique, not carbon copy. Please stay yourself, and real. That is how you got to the number of subscribers. I hope you have a great weekend.

[@elizabethtyrrell7362]

I just love how excited you get about everything!!! Thanks for sharing!

[@elpizarro7029]

The RED CANDLE STICK IS PERFECT FOR CHRISTMAS AND FOR SAINT VALENTINES!!! 🤩I always love your enthusiasm with your purchases!!! Specially loved the KOOL-Aid set!!!

[@kimdickinson5277]

You are so cute! Love your enthusiasm. You got some great things.

[@theresavest3722]

Wow you had a great haul. I always love going thrifting with you! The swans have to be my favorite, but like you I have to say the purse was a great find real or not.

[@kebergify]

Oh my, heavens. Julie! You totally found awesome things!!! That mirror! And those swans!! Totally worth the $. I think he gave you a great deal, which is smart, as he knows you will be back! I love these videos. Keep em coming, lady!!!

[@sharonlmelvin2884]

I loved the mirror and the swans. And I loved that you were so excited about the finds. It made me smile over and over.

[@traceynaples7572]

Crazy Lamp Lady is great. I started watching her to figure out what all my Grandparents stuff is and have learned a lot.

[@lorraineophoff4984]

What a great haul! Love those unusual lanterns! Baskets, Koolaid pitcher and cups, frames etc!

[@karonwostenholme6533]

Great finds. Love the shopping trip with you thanks for sharing x

[@maisygirl07]

love that bag. Best thing you picked up today :)

[@hnycreek]

The swans are my favorite! What a deal and so cool. Love your shopping trips!

[@marys.2570]

It’s hard to pick a favorite. I think for me the white canisters, the swans and the gold mirror. I love your enthusiasm and always love to see how you decorate with your treasures. Thanks for taking me shopping. 😉

[@gertgerenser1975]

What great finds! L knew you were going to pick up those white canisters and that mirror, But my favorite are those swans! They are beautiful! Thanks for sharing

Love it all!!! Sooo jealous of all these awesome thrift stores you get to go to lol!!

Love the cast iron pots. I would put some on my pretty plants in there. I also love the gold mirror. Great haul, love the enthusiasm.

[@handley2645mh]

My favorite item that you purchased was the antique mirror. I love the shape and the frame isn't over powering. Love it.

[@carolgatti5717]

Love this video. Trying to control myself ..avoiding thrift shops til I reduce my hoard. Watching your video scratched my itch. Favorite was the swans

[@etiquetteconnoisseur6184]

You inspire me, Julie. I usually always love most things you get and style.

[@jodyshafer4953]

My favorites were the lanterns then that flatter basket! So happy you found happy things for yourself!

[@gailallen2895]

You find such wonderful things. I like them all and especially the mirror and art. I was watching the lady on Canterbury Cottage make a book stack lamp so would have to really check that one out

[@martyhamilton6526]

I love the swans and the Purple Finch bird picture. I really liked all of your haul. But those two are favorites. Love you muchly Julie!

[@nanagigi1162]

WOW... amazing finds n the prices were great. Loved everything you got. Favorites are the coach purse, swan's, lanterns n 2 of the bird pics. Thanks for sharing this with us.

[@kathybudd5996]

That mirror is so pretty and can be useful in many places. It is hard to pick a favorite. You got so many nice things.

[@djterry1218]

Love love love the Kool Aid set! And of course, the swans!

[@brendatomlinson]

So much great stuff! Hard to pick a favorite. Love that gorgeous mirror, also the finch print. I gasped out loud at both of them. The ironstone pitcher is really sweet too.

[@pattydespirito7293]

I can't look , you left those bunnies behind OMG they're so cute!

[@Bodiy]

Congratulations on the Coach purse always wanted one but I would spend the money on a saddle for my horse instead 😂

[@wendymartindale-bergene6120]

I love your enthusiasm for a good pick.

[@jadestone8552]

Wow! You picked up a lot of things I thought you would!!! You had a great thrifting day! I wish we had stores like these. Oh I love the swans. You truly made out like a bandit on this trip.

[@debbied3116]

Oh ye!! The Kool-Aid man!! I used to have one from when my daughter was younger but I have no idea where it went. Love "shoppping" with you and seeing all there is in the stores.

[@AcornHillHomestead]

The KoolAid pitchers go back so much further than 80’s. 😉😉 cute finds.

[@barbaramorck2933]

Your Goodwill 'barn' is exceptionally wel-organized -- most that I've seen on Ytube or gone to are just thrown into those big canvas sorting bins. You HAVE to wear gloves because there could be broken glass in the bins. Yours shows that someone Cares.

[@serenakoleno9338]

Never heard of these 'barns', I will have to see if there is one nearby. Thanks for the caution. At what point do they just give it away? Sad to think it is just dumped. Was reading a novel set in England and they have stores that are free. Bring in your unwanted items and take home some one else's. Great idea to keep stuff out of landfills.

[@deborahdavey1743]

I like the mirror, the swans, and that beautiful wooden chair. Look forward to your next video!

[@sandyherschberger3620]

Love the swans! But....the Kool-aid Pitcher and Cups, I Mean!!!!!! So so cool.

[@carlawolf8260]

What a fantastic haul. I just loved all the stores. And yes I loved your swans so pretty. Can't wait to see more .❤❤❤

[@jeaniemarkel360]

The mirror is absolutely gorgeous...and that price!!!! Wow!! You scored on that piece!!

[@nahernandez9]

You had a Great Day!! I guessed the things you were gonna buy. I love your style. Favorites? The metal picture frames, I love using them. I love the mirror and swans as well. I actually liked it all!! God Bless You!♥️🌻

[@pattichulick2940]

What good finds! I think that Coach bag is authentic. Your mantle is to die for.

[@heatherjohnson5612]

The gold mirror was my favorite 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩AWESOME finds though all of them!!!

[@brendahorton4907]

I loved shopping with you……awesome treasures you found!

[@marilynweist2645]

Love the quilt!🎉

[@deborahlee6240]

Love all your finds. Love the purse. If you haven't figured out how to clean your pitcher yet, I put some dishwashing soap in with water, stick a small cleaning rag in with some kind of thin kitchen item that is long but sturdy and scrub.
