I went to 3 thrift stores... then this happened! | Thrifting to resell on Ebay

[@michellelee5163]

When you were evaluating the doll, "Her hair has serious problems." 😂 Karen you crack me up!!

[@lavenderclothesline]

😂💜💜💜💜

[@vlrissolo]

Am I crazy? I can watch Karen Thrift all day long . I don't know why but I find it so relaxing

[@AlcalaFarms]

Not crazy. She has a calming voice and I love watching her shop. Explaining as she goes.

[@loricowell3911]

I agree. Her voice is extremely soothing! And just her way. Plus she is so funny!!

[@livingbyfaithwithbenji8909]

I feel the same.

[@LindaFoyle]

If your crazy, I’m crazy too 🤣😂

[@susangetz9202]

I have done that too, Karen's voice is very relaxing!😊

[@kdnick8584]

Saving the planet one item at a time. Resellers doing global work while making an honest living. I don't resell, but at least 80 percent of my professional wardrobe comes from thrift stores. It started in the 90s when I found a designer dress in a local Goodwill. I have been hooked ever since.

[@laurabarker2233]

I started out in 1980 when I walked into a Goodwill and found a pair of Levi's, my size, for 50 cents. Been doing it ever since and I'm 67. I also consigned, at 3 stores, what I found. I was Ebay before Ebay.

[@rozannakuykendall60]

The wood box may be a recipe card holder that hangs.

[@judyfaul8524]

Yeah,that doll was having a " There's something about Mary" hair moment!😊

[@cheryldavis8776]

That strange gold-colored reindeer made me think of the characters in "The Nightmare Before Christmas"!

[@loricowell3911]

“Her hair has serious problems”. You crack me up Karen. I just LOVE you girl!!❤😂❤

[@lavenderclothesline]

Love you back lori!! 💜

[@zeegervanroemburg9146]

The wooden box can be used for postcards, or small memories, and the pictures on the tray are from Alphonse Mucha, a very famous painter from the Tsjech republic, indeed , art nouveau made a lot of posters in France! ❤❤❤❤

[@janetgraham953]

I almost spit my drink out with the Santa cross eyed wood figurine comment…thanks for the laugh!

[@VABmo]

You know what I especially like about Karen, is that she is independent and she makes great content every time. She doesn't rely on having other resellers appear in her videos, or misleading headlines to draw people in. I literally blocked all the resellers who do the "shop with us, here we are in PA, IL, OH, FL" shopping together. Nobody cares about them getting together, but themselves....and from past experience, I've heard private stories time and again about some of them being mean to each other. I really just enjoy every video from Karen with and without her teammate/husband, and we get to see honest testimony showing the best way to do it with smart points and well-organized video. She's the Queen everyone else aspires to be!

[@barbarafann8133]

Karen is good and I love watching her videos. I DO watch some other videos from other resellers such a Commonwealth Picker, REASON: he picks up a larger variety of items than Karen and is quick to explain what to look for and what to stay away from. The Click Bait headlines don't impress me but I do like to learn about variety. My favorite thing about Karen is her demeanor, she doesn't go in with a frenzy that many of them do and is very thoughtful all throughout her shopping. She is a class act for sure!!! And Roger is just like her only with that cute little ornery grin ... I just love him!!!! I wish he would share more, he seems brilliant!!!

[@lindamaclellan4899]

I whole heartedly agree with you. In addition, Karen is always respectful of people she meets and all the items she handles. Whether she is at retail establishment or a garage sale or at Goodwill, she always handles items with care, places them back where she found them, and I've seen her track down a missing mate to a cup and saucer or pair of salt/pepper shakers, and many other items that she doesn't even want to purchase! I love that about her and I've stopped watching those who I have named "trash thrifters" who throw nicely folded items all over the place and literally pile china they do not want in ways that I know for sure won't make it even 10 more seconds no less the remainder of the day. It's awful behavior and it makes me wonder how they handle the items they do purchase to resell. I know I won't buy from them for sure. But, knowing how Karen organizes and cares for her products, I will buy from Karen in a heartbeat.

[@lavenderclothesline]

Ohhh my gosh 😍😍😍😍 that’s so sweet of you!!!

[@LindaFoyle]

“Now I’m just making stuff up”…that’s my new way of answering people, when I don’t know the answer 🤣🥰🎃

[@glendasully]

I love the vintage Owl Umbrella stand! So happy for you to recognize the sound of the doors opening

[@loricowell3911]

Karen, ur killin’ me. I just spit out my tea laughing!!”ok He does have a problem w/his vision…..” lolololol😂

[@1webdeb]

Bruce Makowsky is quite an entrepeneur. His wife, Kathy Van Zeeland, also designed luxury handbags with a lot of bling and signature fabric, really popular in the 2000s. Makowsky handbags were actually sold on QVC at some point. He used a lot of fringe and grommets. Beautiful soft leather. I sold mine as it became too heavy to carry.

[@corky52360]

Just wanted to say how much I love your channel. Why I only discovered you few months before you married Roger, I don’t know, but so glad I did! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve said “ now I’m just making things up”. Through my life. 😅

[@9livesemporium565]

My favorite is the kitty dresser and thanks to eBay alerts it will be mine in a few days!!

[@patriciarobinson5909]

I loved the little vinyl cat!

[@plaidpaisley5918]

At 11:32; I have that plastic owl. Too cute it takes batteries & hoots.

[@peacenow4456]

Jenn & CO purse should be vegan leather, a find for sure. Candle box.

[@kitchenworker446]

Karen, I think that the lovely dark wood box with a lid that you picked up ( you wondered if it was for matches) I think it is quite old and in the UK it would be near the alter in a church and would be used to store candles...just my thoughts...I could be wrong!!

[@LindaKayHolevas]

I thought the same thing!

[@conme2231]

Karen I just love your videos so much. As one of the other commentators said she/he could watch your thrifting videos every day. I wholely agree with them. Before I go to sleep I make myself comfortable, plump my pillows, and watch you and one or two other KZbinrs to make me relax. I did have to laugh though, when you picked up the cat dresser and said, "I don't think I've ever owned a cat, I don't recall". Holy Catamoly! if you ever, ever owned a cat, believe me, you would remember!😁

[@laurabarker2233]

truth

[@maryallen1017]

Karen, At the first stop, I was really surprised you didn't say anything or pick up the Free Scrabble item 'Home Family Love'. I thought that item would jump right out at you. You know you are the Scrabble Bride.

[@reneeb9905]

The wooden box is a candle box.

[@kyhilltophome3153]

I think the wood box is a candle box for storing candles.

[@dani7118]

Go back and pick up that wooden owl - I would totally buy that even with the damage! lol

[@tennisgurl6727]

‘I don’t know that I’ve ever had a cat but I love this piece !’ Made me laugh out loud Karen❤

[@livingbyfaithwithbenji8909]

I really liked the painting. It looked a storm had come thru to me. I would have bought it.

[@andreaschmall5560]

I liked it as well. It had such a gloomy mood to it that made it very interesting.

[@LindaKayHolevas]

Same. I just made the same comment. I thought it was really well done. I guess that is what art is though - very subjective. 😊

[@sherireynolds1410]

It would've been a good painting to add spooky things to.

[@LindaKayHolevas]

I really liked the N. Zinc (sp?) painting. I personally didn’t mind the trees at all. You definitely have a better eye than I do, though. I never would have noticed anything even slightly off. That’s why I watch you, I’m always learning new things. I also really love the $2 pottery bowls you got at the first store. As always, thanks for sharing! Edit- I love the collapsible wooden basket & the fringe purse.

[@MARYJ17222]

Karen, I know that heavy wooden scoop was probably no big deal to others but for some reason I was yelling get it!! I want to buy it for my home decor lol It’s just something you don’t find often

[@LOVEEDIWATA]

@LavenderClothesline I started watching your videos & even all those previous vlog. Now Im a fan ❤ You described the items well & informative, Love hearing your sweet voice too. You are blessed to have stores there for vintage, yard sales & more. God bless you, watching here from the Philppines.

[@cheryldavis8776]

That wooden basket that you said had a paisley design made me think of the "yin and yang" symbol. That term put into the key words in the title might bring in some lookers!

[@maxinemiller480]

“ Now I’m just making things up” and “ Do we love a ( fill in the blank)? Yes we do! These are my favorite Karen phrases!!😂

[@Jdubb702]

I want those candle sticks!!!!!

[@silverstatepicks]

Your voice is so soothing and the gentle way you remove an item is nice, especially when I have a head cold! Lol, thank you your better than a decongestant tablet!

[@sharonfaylor169]

Yes! My daughter and her family currently live with me. She just had twin boys 4 months ago. I often sit with the fussy one-he’s mesmerized by Karen’s videos! Her voice is soothing for sure!

[@LindaKayHolevas]

I hope you feel better soon!!

[@4EvrPatriot]

Decoupage the wooden bell ? Or use a patriotic transfer to upscale it.

[@trailtl5543]

I love how you organize the store Karen!!!! You are so funny!

[@JamieCote-yy7nh]

Karen has such calming voice it is very relaxing indeed!

[@organizersrus]

ASMR! 😘

[@normajeanplusone9772]

You have a good eye Karen, so many nice things. Love the umbrella stand. 👍🏻🤗

[@loriquinn2850]

You follow your gut instincts which is something everyone should do in all aspects of their live. That "Still small voice" is never wrong---shameless plug for GOD!!!!! P.S. You are so naturally hysterical and you bring me immense joy in every video.

[@Oglulubell]

Would you know where I can take a painting to figure out what the artists signature is? I have a painting, taken out the trash of an office building in Manhattan. The painting is the office building, which is right next to St. Pats, which is also in the painting. It’s dated 1971. Really nice NYC scene.

[@alyshabrewer9760]

I love the candle stick holders

[@gingerhart3584]

I like how she goes for what she wants doesn't have to be vintage all the time. If she likes something she goes for it.

[@sandispady9058]

This is my favorite store for us to shop at. Thank you for taking us along.

[@christineprescott2417]

😂😂The doll's hair has "serious problems"..Karen, you really make me laugh thank you❤

HI Karen, I was watching a video about The Mitford Siaters from England.. an aristocratic family back in the day and my word, if A picture of their father isn't the spit of your Rodger! I can't post it anywhere for you see but look them up if u have a moment..lol 2:09

[@candicebyrd6019]

Those lands end ear flap hats sell for about $15-20 each used...Considering they were free, could have picked up

[@avalondreaming1433]

I'm actually glad to see you put the wooden 70's owl back. It's a napkin holder. I bought a butterfly one at a garage sale 6 months ago and it still hasn't sold for under $10

[@heatherhoffman9719]

Umbrella Owl! Great! Can't wait for the Christmas napkin holder to post!

[@janeanderson6342]

That cat that you said was like leather but not, I think it's painted canvas.

[@sheilacolton3274]

The tall cat is a door stop...note the slanted wood in the back on the bottom ; it is wedged to fit under the door.

[@barbaraklee5655]

If the wheelbarrow "bowl" is marked MUNISING it’s quite collectible (especially in Michigan).

[@KLeonardM]

Loved the little music box with the pretty little face. Great fun today Karen....Have a great week.

[@kathrynbailey7174]

When will you post the candle holders from Israel? I am really interested in them.

I giggle when you say, "It's "almost" cute, or it's "almost" interesting" !!

Beautiful picks on the Owl vase and the D&B Yellow bag!!! The MCM Haeger is so simple and beautiful for personal use, but not reselling.

Fun shopping day, Karen. I love the crazy hair on the last 2 choir dolls! Those candle sticks look Gaudi-ish.

Hello Karen, here I go again 😂 I loved the little guys on the end of your first store. It must be candle holders... I assume... Put a little dirt in the head and let's grow cress. Perfect for eastern. Wrong season. I know.

[@KLeonardM]

I'm still watching Karen but had to pause. You said you live for the day when we can talk back to you from YT, but we are already there. You can go live!! OMG....That would be crazy and so much fun. Probably better to start something like that at a garage sale....hahaha....back to the show

[@lesliem6949]

At around 4:38 when you were showing the large white ceramic cat - to the left was an orange plush tabby cat. I just found that cat recently and after researching, learned it's an AVON cat named Carmichael. I know you don't do plush but it was a good find and would have likely brought some profit. I'm hoping for some with mine! Love your videos and all you do. Thank you!

[@organizersrus]

Karen, it’d be fun for us to get to see you Google Lens items every now and again. Wondering if the art nouveau tray that you got has some Alphonse Mucha art on it? ❤

I have learned a lot from you and Roger! Thanks so much for such for your great videos!

Thank you! Yes they are. I have been a reseller for 10 years but have been growing my Ebay store over the past couple years (from 300 items to 2000 ish), so it's great to learn about things I would have passed by before. So much information, fun and a very pleasant personality. @@LindaKayHolevas
