Thrift With Me | Goodwill Outlet + Two Original Paintings!

[@lindafarrokhzadian354]

Kristen....you are adorable 🥰, your spirit is kind and full of joy. I'm 74 and still winging it...by the grace of God. Keep laughing

[@kimkelly9046]

Good advice! God bless you

[@kathleenwoodbury7491]

You found some wonderful things! That chair is a Windsor style chair, probably old enough to be considered an antique ‘20s or ‘30s is my guess. The silver is a cool find, and the Pfaltzgraf Heritage dishes were a steal at $10! Good job!

[@KristenHoffman]

Thank you for your help, Kathleen

[@monikavosswilliams5023]

Great haul. When my mom passed away I got all her good silver and I figured I might as well use it on a daily basis.I cleaned it with silver polish one time and I use it everyday and I don't put it in a dishwasher. I wash and dry by hand and it is beautiful and I hardly ever have to polish it again. Why not use it, life is short. Use some good stuff. Thanks for sharing

[@KristenHoffman]

I feel the exact same way!

[@lose999]

You're refining your thrifting eye!! The chair, silver, and antique book are worth $$$. Such treasures, wow! We don't have Goodwill bins in my area; lucky you. I would've bought the PB blue quilt, for sure.

[@KristenHoffman]

There’s a lot of trash, but I was lucky to find the treasures!

[@pollyporter-campbell7493]

Check that it's labeled "sterling". It's worth more if so. You clean silver plate and sterling the same way.

[@deniseborchardt4491]

1st of all, you are so adorable! I love all of your new finds,especially the blue patterned quilt. I think I have a bit of a quilt addiction. Even the wooden cheese box that the silverware is in, goes for some $$$$. How sweet of Grandma to think of you to hand her treasures down to. I know that you will love and cherish them! The new house will be a work in progress, but I am so excited to see it all decorated!

[@KristenHoffman]

I am so thankful for all of it!

[@susanhunter1164]

I love the cookbook as my maiden name is Curtis. You have become my favorite vlog because you are so real and faithful.

Oh my goodness, the quilt is so pretty! The plates were great finds, you scored big.

[@OldWorldHome]

I am in love with the Windsor chair you found! I’ve been searching for those for our dining room for years now, but I have a very specific style in mind and haven’t had any luck finding them. Amazing original art too! Lots of love girl, can’t wait to see the house come together with all these wonderful finds 💞

[@suzyq4781]

Hi Kristen, love your video. You hit the literal jackpot on the household discoveries book. It’s on Amazon for $124.95 + shipping, other places want over $200. I looked it up because I want a copy of that book! God so blessed you!!!!

[@KristenHoffman]

Wow, this is incredible!

Thrift stores are my go to for paintings! I have found my absolute favourite pieces at Value Village. You find such amazing stuff!

Love, love, love the landscape painting! Love the chair, and the PB quilt! And I would have purchased the down comforter! I wash things two or three times after bringing them home, and they’re just fine! Great haul, great deals!

[@kmarshall53]

Not sure you can wash down, though - might want to check on that before you throw it in the washer?

[@jackiewynn4455]

We love down comforters and have found several at the thrift store over the years and have always just thrown them in the wash too. They've been great.

[@KristenHoffman]

I agree! I always just think about hotels. We don’t hesitate to sleep under hotel blankets, and Lord knows how many people have used those!

Gah!!! 😢 My mom has been with me for the past 2 weeks trying to pare down my hoarder house! 😩 I already have too much! I can’t stop!!! I’m so jelly. You found some great stuff!

[@carolwhite8472]

Use wright’s silver polish, it is the best I have found to clean antique sterling. And make sure you store your silver in a box with chalkboard chalk sticks, it slows down the tarnishing process. I loved your story about India. The reason you love the neutrals as you do, is that you are a “soft summer”. If you look up a “soft summer color palette” online all of the colors you wear will be there. Your soft cool features need to be complimented with the softness of your palette, while the deep rich complexions and dark haired ladies in India need the bright, deep rich color palettes of “deep autumns”. I love your hauls and look forward to seeing them in your new home.

[@KristenHoffman]

Interesting! I have always wondered what my “season” would be!

[@geraldinecolvin8662]

What is a good way to figure out my season? Do you have a book or online source you can recommend?

[@carolwhite8472]

@@geraldinecolvin8662 I had typed out a long reply to you. But, it is no longer here. I will send again. In a shorter version. Search “seasonal color analysis” and what season am I” on KZbin, websites and Pinterest. Don’t pay for an analysis because there are lots of free resources. Use your closet - you tend to wear the colors you get complimented on and you push those that are unflattering to the back of the closet. Good luck on your quest to find your season.

Great video Kristen, you make me laugh. I love your honesty. Which is always the best policy.😀 I thought the horse picture was perfect for your girl's room. I would definitely resell your crocodile head, unless you put it on a stand in a cloche, on your study desk. That might look effective. 😀 It's also a great piece for your art classes if you decide to teach them again. I too can draw and do it for a living. I have completed many of art classes over the year's. Looking forward to your renovation video's.😀

[@littledotti]

Nothing wrong with picking up second hand linen/blankets/duvet inners etc. Good wash and your set to go. Ignore the snobs. Good to see such a quality duvet inner go to a good home rather then being dumped in the trash. Well done you.

[@gloriastola1522]

Kristen, I absolutely love the chair you found. I believe $2.00 was a steal for that! I wish our thrift stores carried such great things like you always seem to find. The 2 pictures are beautiful as well. So looking forward to seeing your home all decorated.

We were limited in space in our first home. I used a clear shoe rack in my pantry for little odds and ends like season packets, fruit snacks, chip clips. Also, another clear shoe rack in the linen closet for toothpaste, tooth brushes, suntan lotion, bandaids. I love that you don’t take life seriously. That’s the way I live. I laugh at myself all the time 🥳

Those dishes are great and will go great any time. The silver is beautiful and if it is worth what one comment said, you really got a buy. If we have bins here, I don't know about them. Our Goodwills do not have anything as good as you find at the bins. Maybe the bins come here after everyone has picked over them, just saying. I just love your enthusiasm, it's contagious. You look good in the neutrals or probably any color but it's what you like, not anyone else. Your DIY should be your drawing. Anyone could paint and change up things but you have a real talent.
