Mega Goodwill Bins Shop & Haul | I Found Pottery Barn, Anthropologie, and Crate and Barrel!!!

[@lilolmecj]

Corey, actually home sewing is experiencing a real comeback. It is fun to watch, I am 62, have been sewing since I was 12-13, and seen so many changes. There are not as many small fabric stores, and even the big stores like Joann are really struggling in spite of lots of young people discovering the hobby. I do notice on their channels that lots of the newcomers are seeking unconventional ways to obtain fabric, like charity shops , and scavenging fabric from items that are worn.

[@DesertDIY]

I love Joanns and I hate seeing their stores struggle but they are so expensive in general that I don't usually buy my crafts from there.

[@nitagail77]

I'm 65 & have been sewing since around 12 or 13! I love seeing sewing making a comeback. The schools have dropped it from their curriculum. I've thought of offering teaching classes. I have enough machines that I could teach a few at a time. I don't know if anyone would be interested .

[@rachael9261]

@@nitagail77that’s a great idea but I would t do it from my home unless you know the parents. Maybe from the school or a church? Community center? But great idea!

[@retroredo9850]

Me too! Will be 69 next month. Sewing from about 10 but mother had me on her treadle at 5 making paper stamps. Doll blankets etc. But was doing family mending like sewing buttons on and hemming early too by hand. I taught myself to fix vintage machines only 4 years ago. Because we also moved to rural high desert in So Cal. As soon as all in this town of 2,000 found out I sew Ive been given entire grandmas sewign rooms 5 times, a lot of jeans as I sell and make bags and totes along with a few other upcycles and now have 10 machines! I have tried teaching several times but they become no shows. I offered first 8 hours free, usually in 2 or 4 sessions. If they cant make that then no. Im thinking to do a specific workshop. A no sew tote or simple sew one. There are quilters but found they dont understand clothing construction. Why Im the town mender which I dont want to be! I also have some peeves. One is no glue in sewing! I can see for a few things but it wont last and cant wash.

[@retroredo9850]

​@@DesertDIYIve upcycled thrifted a lot of my life but stopped buying yardage at stores as its bad quality for $20 a yard. In 70s when minmum wage was $2 good fabric cost between 50 cents a yard to $2. I bought on sales. I will buy and upcycle clearance clothing. I need to make a channel. I started a blog but hard to teach sewing that way.

[@antiquesrestoration3874]

You are saving so much stuff from ending up in landfills and turning it into fantastic items people really enjoy...not to mention taking us along for the ride. I'm glad you're having success with your new venture. You certainly have a knack for it. Well done!

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you so much! I'm definitely not going to get rich quick but it's a good business to make an honest living. Thank you very much for pointing out how it saves things from ending up in landfills. I think that is a major plus to my work. It makes me very happy that things aren't wasted and people aren't buying new if they buy my things

[@rachelleknighton7399]

I have watched your channel since it started, and I love it. I rarely comment, but I would love to see thrift flips and decorating. I pick up things at the thrift store and then have no clue what to do with them. I am good at crafting but am creatively challenged. Any decorating ideas are always welcome. ❤

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you Rachelle I'd be happy to help. In the mean time you should definitely check pinterest for ideas too

[@nicolegardner3341]

It’s very cute how you justified your never ending love of decorating your home by recycling/selling your “old” decorations. Which is why I enjoy seeing both stuff for the home episodes AND stuff for the booth equally.

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you Nicole

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you so much Daisy

[@trixie9777]

I like how you mix it up: showing us thrift hauls, redoing small stuff, flipping furniture, showing your booth,….and I just watched the ugly duckling challenge from Aug 2023. It was so much fun seeing the other people, too.

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you so much! I need to schedule a new ugly duckling challenge

[@marthajones7265]

I love your videos. You are yourself just like we are. Don't apologize for anything or second guess your self. You are one of my favorites! Great hauls by the way. ❤❤❤❤

[@lesliejackson8188]

*Cory, I would have purchased the 4 small wooden frames with verbiage in them (Bless This Mess, etc.) and painted over the fabric with DIY Paint and then applied I.O.D. (Iron Orchid Designs) transfers that go together and sell them as a Set. 😊 I may have also bought the larger framed fabric saying you looked at a few seconds earlier before looking at those 4 frames - depending on the condition - and painted the fabric and added a stencil as well. It's amazing how many projects you can make with DIY Paint and I.O.D. Stencils because there are SO MANY STENCILS in a package that you can stretch your dollars REALLY FAR. 😂*

[@DesertDIY]

Those are seriously great ideas! Love it!

[@lesliejackson8188]

I love how I can live vicariously through you at the Goodwill bins!! You found such awesome stuff 😊😊

[@DesertDIY]

Yay! I am so glad to help lol. Thank you

[@Birdieheart]

I love watching your hauls, you still can read the old magazines we need to slow down.

[@DesertDIY]

I agree!

[@honeyoconnor3743]

I started shopping at the Goodwill bins 35 years ago with my son in a stroller. I shopped for kids clothes, toys, and home decor. My favorite find was a $5 vintage Singer 500 A Rocketeer sewing machine identical to my mom’s that she taught me to sew on.

[@DesertDIY]

Wow I had no idea the bins have been around that long

[@lourinedavis121]

Wow. 35 years ago! You knew before anyone knew!!!

[@Aimeef1983]

Any thrift shopping and then flipping is ehat I personally like to see, no matter if your selling it or decorating with it. Have watched for years now, your doing great!

[@timmymendenhall1275]

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate you saying that

[@DonnaW25]

This is what i love. Having a good dig in the charity shops in England makes me happy 😊

[@DesertDIY]

Yes it makes for a great day

[@melaniebelter1541]

I love the flips but also how you display the objects in your home. I get ideas in my head as to the look I want but then can't put the aesthetic together...it doesnt alwsys come out the way I wanted. lol Love all the things you got this time! ❤️

[@DesertDIY]

I know exactly what you mean and it took me forever to start to be able to create what I see in my head

[@terrimckeighen7154]

I would always grab the checker boards. My friend sells stuff in her moms booth and they sell well. She will use some dark wax and distresses hers. She goes for the more primitive look. I enjoy your site!

[@ROSIEMOODY-b8g]

I have become addicted to watching your videos. I’m just getting into reselling myself in Australia but we don’t have the lovely big thrift stores that you have and our prices are definitely higher. You are such a hard worker. I’m feeling so inspired so thank you❤

[@DesertDIY]

You can do it! Thank you so much

I have been really enjoying watching your videos. I am a big thrifter, even though we have different styles, I love your aesthetic. It is so great to watch a you tuber being sustainable. There are way too many you tubers who do online hauls, very wasteful.

Thrift flips and going thrifting are the best for me and how you decorate your booth with them ❤

Ok you got it 👍

[@emmavik-fredriksson640]

Love this! My favorite is the tin, gorgeous! I love both hauls and remakes and of course when you show us your booth. The best is probably paiting/redoing small stuff. That's my thing😊

Thank you for letting me know I really appreciate it! I will sure do that

[@karenhubler2792]

I am new to setting up a booth, and new to following you. I never make requests for help, I just sit back and learn from all you amazing people who are brave and get on KZbin and share your talent. Now that I have said all that. I would love to see you set up your booth. Thank you for all your time. Prayers for your husband's studies.

[@DesertDIY]

Thank you so much Karen. You can always ask questions if you want to.

Thrift stores have raised prices as so much demand for flipping and resale. I love reusing, repurposing and such for my life! Heck, I haven't bought "NEW" jeans in years, that's how I budget for kids stuff. Love your ideas

[@katharinetalarico4569]

Hey, Corie--you're right...this was a great haul! The basket your going to paint for Easter... I'd paint it white and then use all of your pastel colors for the woven band pieces towards the bottom of it! Pink, blue, yellow, mint green, etc. I think that'd be really pretty! I respect your diligence in your business! You and your husband are a great team and you adapt so well to all of the changes in your lives! Keep up the great work! It'll pay off. Plus, I LOVE watching your haul and trash to treasure and flip videos! ☺️🌈

Don’t toss the clocks if they don’t work. Go to a craft and buy a replacement clock works and you can have a working clock for a few dollars you have a working clock. Reuse the old clock hands if they look better. Also easy to do. Love all your videos they keep getting better and better.

Fantastic haul! You went through the bins like a boss🤣🤣. I would have picked up the metal clock at the bins to up cycle. I would be happy to watch what you do for your home, or the booth..either way it’s so enjoyable 💖.

Clothes but this particular outlet was all shoes they made a mad dash for the shoes. Not too much stuff and you’re right the Goodwill in, my county in Tennessee is very very expensive. I’ve noticed the price is going up. Somethings that Goodwill marks higher than the original price which I’ll never understand but great hall. Thanks again for the video.
