The Project Linus in our area donates blankets to babies in the NICU, cancer patients, and children in foster care. I work with kids in foster care and we insist the blankets go with the kids wherever they’re placed. For kids in care, they’re placed in a strangers home where nothing is theirs and it feels transitory. So our kids will ferociously protect anything that belongs to them. Project Linus is nationwide and they’re always looking for volunteers😉

Yes, people do use corn dishes. Artificial trees sell for hundreds of dollars, even for small ones. $60 is not a bad price.

[@SaraT321]

The rings with sticks are curtain ties, to draw open curtains. Pull the drape thru the ring then slide the pin behind to hold it. Similar to 80’s/90’s T shirt ties that you wore on the bottom corner of a shirt.

[@loridove3284]

The Indian in the Cupboard is the first in a series of children's books. In the story a boy puts a plastic Indian in a cupboard and locks it with a key. The cupboard is magic and the Indian comes to life. The boy is then responsible for a very small real person. Next he puts a cowboy in the cupboard, etc. These books are very well written and and humorous but also teach some subtle lessons about responsibility, The book was made into a movie. The Indians you found were promotional items for the movie. Sold comps for new ones are $8.99 to $12.99.

[@dinkyloves40]

The key is about the movie the " Indian in the Cupboard " The little boy had a key that opened the cupboard and brought the indian to life. A great clean movie for you and Roger to watch.

[@LindaKayHolevas]

The brown aisle has always been my favorite! I love the idea of adding some shingle detail to your home. My son just did the same thing on his house. He painted his house a very light taupe grey color & put wooden shingles in the alcove area above his garage. The shingles have a grayish tint to them & they look gorgeous! They really made his house pop! I convinced him to paint his front door (although he’s still on the fence about it) a very deep burnt orange/rust color & it looks absolutely beautiful! Anyway, love everything you bought. Your Goodwill’s are so exceptional! I hope you & Roger & the rest of your beautiful family have a very blessed Thanksgiving. 🦃 Thank you for sharing, Karen. Edit- the school house furniture set is EPIC! What a great find! xo

[@SUZANNECARPENTER-ou3je]

The lightshade was gorgeous!

[@Steph-sk2nb]

Wow, thanks for reminding me about the sip club at Panera. I remember it just being for coffee but including their tea is even better! I shop at goodwill on my lunch breaks and have been grabbing a coffee on the way, but it is becoming quite costly but won't be now with the sip club. Thanks!

[@moonstars315]

How cute is Roger, always with the finds! You two are so awesome together, and he seems like such a nice man! Perfect couple! You guys inspire me that I can get my man to find me thrifts (and enjoy it) :) Your goodwill is cheaper than ours in Upstate NY, some shirts have gone up to 8-$12. Not good for resale. I had to set rules for myself NOT to grab a cart and only buy "finds" or items that I can make at least 3x profit. Some of my clothing brands that used to sell well, j jill and j crew, have slowed a bit unless I deeply discound, and I only have NEW or new without tags!! Vs the Store, i'd think they'd sell faster. My underarmour stuff is new w tags and NICE, but they don't sell often. I occasionally will buy only for us to wear. Nike is a better seller and Adidas is not good for me. Great finds for $2. I also buy all brass candlesticks (to my detriment LOL)...but when you gather some neat shapes into a lot, they can bring a profit. The shipping kills so many sales, you've taught me so much over these past couple years..

I would definitely do the wood color for your house. You can always buy or paint/stain your door to match. In the spring you can lay your mulch down in same color as the wood you put on house. The wood color classic on white and would never go out of style. You can always decorate with splashes of color outside.

[@westcoastpicker167]

Hello Karen! My passion in life is interior and exterior design. I absolutely love the new white color of your home. I truly feel that black trim would be stunning. Hands down the lighter wood look roof that you showed, would be amazing. Check out Joanna Gaines decor on Pinterest etc... She often uses white as a main color with black accents and always has a medium colored wood element incorporated into her decor along with greenery. That would look outstanding with your plants, trees and the like! My husband and I are completely remodeling our other property here in California, in order to sell and these are the colors & elements that we are using inside an out. So far, everything looks stunning! It completely refreshes a stale old looking home and brings it to a whole different (extremely improved) level. Congrats on the great boyfriend!😃

Goodwill Bins: In some locations, they exclude the heavy items from the per pound price and if you ask, they will give you a set price for larger or heavier items. It makes some items, like the game boards, a better deal then the per pound price.

Hello Karen. My name is Karen as well! About the color suggestion for the house, maybe a "lavender" or lilac shade to compliment the gray door? Also, the sun mirror from yesterday's video for the outside of your home.

Hi greetings from Perth Western Australia. Nice haul. The round items with sticks is actually like a tieback for curtains. You put the rings at the front and centre part of the curtain panel ,then you secured the sticks from the sides of the circle rings from left to right. It's to hold the curtain in place instead of it flapping when the wind blows. Hope this make sense.😁

I have been thinking about the exterior of your home....so here is my input. Charcoal fabric awnings would look amazing over your front windows, adding so much charm. The front of your home is mostly a flat elevation, the awnings would add depth to the front. My neighbors added fabric awnings...it was a beautiful addition. Just my 2 cents worth. I think Roger is a great addition as well...love seeing him in your videos.

[@lavenderclothesline]

Those wooden circles with the sticks are to hold your curtain in the middle. It you pull the curtain through the hole a little and hoop the stick through the wood :P

Great Goodwill! I love shopping at Goodwill. Not all of them operate the same then because it never has $2 day. Tuesday is senior day when seniors get 15% off. They don’t display anything you’d want to buy only junk they desperately wanna get rid of. Even if I was a senior I wouldn’t want it for that meager % off!

Those wooden board games would be fun to decorate a game room wall with. Something to ask your bins, our bins will charge a flat rate for games and not by the pound. The horseshoe game after being weighed was gonna cost $20 until I told her it was a game and then I was charged $1.59.

[@catfunksfabulousfinds]

Our Goodwills here in Oregon near greater Portland area don't do the $2. thing. The 5th week they go 1/2 off for a week. If they don't sell it all goes to the bins. That's how I find designer items, they just priced it to high, so perfectly good things go to the bins. In the Eugene Oregon area they don't have the bins, they mark down 50% if it does'nt sell it goes to 75% off.
