Hi Karen. Greetings from Perth Western Australia. The brown dish with the cone top is called a TAGINE. Not tandoori. Tandoori is a massive clay oven that is used in northern India to cook bread n meat. Tagine is mainly used in Morocco.. Hope that helps.😊

Sometimes it’s good to buy the extra pieces of the drapes. Then the person who bought the drapes could make matching cushions.

Wow, what a reasonable & kind Goodwill manager to let you have the Marine Corp blanket for only $3. You spend so much money at their stores, it makes sense to keep you happy, but it still seems like a rare occurrence to have them work with you like that. Go you! Lol. I love the new thrift store- wow- it was huge! That floral lamp was gorgeous. It’s sad that they put it on a wooden base & didn’t even center it! Anyway, thank you so much for sharing. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas ❤

I lived about 80% of the time with my daughter in Adam’s and York counties for two years, about five years ago. No place does independent antique and thrift stores like PA does. We loved it. We sold ice dyed items at Morningstar Flea Market for a hot minute. I seldom got to shop there. There are cool places to the west of you on the Lincoln Highway, as well. Head to Hanover, New Oxford and Gettysburg! Someday, I’ll be back there in a rented van! Love your videos! I used to dabble for many years on EBay, but just jumped back in with both feet and made a fantastic score on day ONE! Day one thrifting was actually New Years Day, so I started out on the right foot!

Great places! I really wish we had similar places here in East Texas but they are all crazy overpriced and picked over. Our Goodwill never has any discounts except 25% off a colored tag of the week on clothes only. I can't BELIEVE you put back that Murano bowl!!!!! Love that the manager let you have the USMC blanket for only $3! Thank you for sharing your knowledge on the linens!

In the UK, we generally refer to floral designs like that as made by Sanderson. It is a company set up in London in the 1860s and made wallpaper and fabric which became popular with the royal family and aristocracy and is also described as chintz. Its heyday was the early part of the 20th century to the 1930s but was adopted into most homes after that. Hence the 1970s phrase 'chucking out the chintz' when it became less fashionable. But it regained favour in the 80s and saw several companies copy its prints. There is a website called the Rosarian Library which documents a lot of the prints. It is still a viable company and now also owns William Morris designs. It is highly collectable and can be very expensive. Yours is a copy but look out for the Sanderson name which would be written in the selvedge of curtains.

Tandori is an oven about 2-3 feet in diameter where the Naan bread is placed on the inside walls of the oven to cook it. Tagine is the piece on the shelf used for cooking a dish and serving it at a table...like a small clay oven.

Hey Karen, Happy New Year! And what a good way to bring it in, shopping! The new store has so much to see. I think the stone statue is Zimbabwean and is Shona stone, and they can be quite valuable.

Hey Karen love watching you. That pan you loved so much that had the burnt yuck in it? Well all ya have to do is put it on the stove with water in it say half full with 1/4 cup or 1/2 cup of powdered detergent in it and bring to boil and then let simmer for 15 minutes then bring to boil again for about 10 minutes check to see how loose it is Should be loose enough to rinse out and scrub with some fine steal wool or plastic fuzzy scrubber and dish soap All good. So it really isn’t that hard to clean. I guess it depends on how much you would get for the pan to make it worth your time. But LeCruse don’t know if I spelled that correctly but I know new they are expensive. Have a great shopping trip! OH! Great find on the purse!! That was Lovely!❤️

[@Tess-vn3yw]

Karen, have you ever used a dollar store pool noodle to ship dish ware, you cut them down the middle ,we have done this and nothing breaks very cool !

[@eileenmatz4297]

Often times that Goodwill has tables or couches for sale as well and linens could be spread out a bit in that dept.

[@s.s.7348]

I would recommend you using a Crossbody purse when you’re out doing thrifting. I always leave a smaller purse in my car that I can use for thrifting so I have both hands free. Also, it eliminates worrying about the safety of a purse in the cart.

Hi ,karen love your video 😍

[@brianhenry2385]

Lamp, Wood Base: the wood base may have been added for stability, or it might have had a different base section that broke, so it needed a replacement of the same thickness. Many lamps of that era have a long treaded hollow rod that goes from the lamp socket all the way down to the base. A nut, recessed into the base holds all the separate pieces together. So, getting it off the wood might be as simple as un-screwing the nut and pulling off the wood base. The cord runs through the hollow tube, so you might have to disassemble the elec plug to get it off fully, but that lamp is interesting enough to just offer the dismantled parts.

[@aobrien8282]

With that in mind it might be easier to round out the wood part and make it look more intentional.

[@brianhenry2385]

@@aobrien8282 I agree, or as I mentioned, take it apart and offer the colume, socket, harp and cord as parts for a lamp project and let someone else select a new base from stone, wood, ceramic, etc, as they rebuild it.

[@sarahracha]

The ceramic part has no cord hole so the wooden base was added. A round wooden base would be less noticeable.
