Please note: at minute 19:56 I freeze frame the video for a couple of seconds while I continue my story - there's nothing wrong with your screen! 🤗

[@sammie2008]

With little chips in things they can easily be fixed with some clay then shaped and once dryed just painted and you could never notice it

[@sammie2008]

Another thing is I do a lot of good willing garage sales garbage picking(no im not ashamed lol) andi I find a lot of white things. It if the price is right I buy them and just paint crazy colors and love them maybe but a decal on them the ideas are endless!

[@sammie2008]

Sorry I keep running out of space lol I once saw a sad no so handsome plain white pig at goodwill for about 2 weeks (im a daily shopper) and he was only $3 so I said im taking him home so I cleaned her up and painted her the brightest neon pink I had and painted her a beautiful face with paint as makeup lol lipstick eyelashes etc planted a little plant in her and have had more compliments than anything in my yard keep thrifting! Also I go through paintings and add odd things to them,I bought a big painting of an Amish man plowing his garden and behind him in this big huge piece of sky above I drew a neon green ufo with small rays coming down lol I showed my friend and he bought it for $50 on the spot and I only paid$1 at a garage sale it might look boring on a shelf but imagine what you could do with it

[@ozarkzoe]

I am so Sad that that store marked all that American Limoges Gardenia dishes separately. I guess if you was needing replacement pieces or to add extra serving pieces. I Love gravy boats. I have cooked over a thousand Family dinners at our home. Every Birthday/ holiday for our family members. So I have tons of serving pieces. My Sissy who passed last July collected 🦉. Elvis and Angels. Taco bell dogs n California Raisins. She never married no kids. I was her caregiver and I had to clear out her apartment at the high-rise within 2wks after she passed. IT Was overwhelming. Because My Sweet Momma (Dementia) was on Hospice Care and I couldn't leave her much. I donated her collections to a charity garage sale. After I took Family in to choose pieces. And I have cried many hours. Wishing I hadn't let my everyone push me into just giving it away. She had wanted me to pack it up and have a yard sale and make myself some $ (for taking care of her)To start my Flea Market booth back up after our Momma passed. We moved her in and had Mom almost 6yrs when she passed. So I gave up 3 booths. And I cared for her every need years before we moved her in. Watching Thrifting videos to see what's popular. I seem to have sold modern as well as vintage. Especially household decor and useful household items. I love buying and selling. And My home is full of items I have bought at auctions, swap meet, garage sales for very little cost. We have been in this home 32yrs . My taste is very eclectic. Thank you for your slower videos showing us the shelves 💐

[@claudiav4416]

I do love when you pan the shelves. I can’t really thrift anymore so it’s therapeutic for me to watch resellers film the shelves as they are sourcing. Great finds, Dagney and that vase is stunning! I hope you are keeping it ☺️

[@marleybedford8628]

What fabulous finds at good will. Lucky girl. Your voice is soothing and your laugh is infectious. Thank you for the show, great fun

[@greenbamboo4264]

Dagney, you are hilarious! I am so glad you don’t edit out your funny personality in your videos and just go with the natural flow of things.

[@justcurious4060]

Oh my Dagny , the Daum glass bowl .. Summer Landscape . What a find!!!! Good luck 🤑😍

[@cindygarza3496]

I believe the smaller glass vase is Aseda from Sweden. Was fun shopping with you!! Great finds!!

[@marilynproctor3485]

Hi Dagny - That iridescent green Japanese vase was exquisite! I also loved the white Japanese vase and the Daum piece. Nice scoresheet,🤗

[@marciejones3538]

I love just how delicately you handle the products. Thanks for showing the shelves….I wish I could reach through the phone & touch.

[@deannaray4837]

Me too.

[@dianeambrose683]

My favorite was the Nancy, France item. Gorgeous! What fun to shop with you, Danny! Enjoy your getaway.

[@SnowPink90]

@5:40 This Goodwill store is really disorganized. I’d find it frustrating looking around in it. @6:29 The Weider name use to be top notch back in the 70-80’s. @11:00 The little piggy bank was so cute!! I bought 3 at a thrift store up here over 23yrs ago and they were next to nothing. Their faces look like the faces of these little toddles and babies that were painted in the 40-50’s. Every house had a picture of these little ones. @12:27 The wire mannequin goes for a fair bit up here(Vancouver BC). @17:00 The dish set can’t go from anywhere from $500 to a few thousand. @22:18 Your laugh had me going!! Those chairs are so cool!!

[@retrobruket]

Hello from Sweden! So fun to watch! I think the green vase with bubbles is from Sweden by Bo Bergström for Åseda (Aseda) Glasbruk.

[@nannyree1]

"Things, things, everywhere a thing" 🎶 I have been to Nancy, France as a young child. Loved that dish. Beautiful. 💜

[@rml9121]

You, Jocelyn and The Niche Lady are my favorite KZbin resellers. Congratulations on the find walking into the store!

[@m.c.master4622]

Since the napkin holder is open on the skirt, I think a votive inside would be pretty.

[@lh5677]

Thought the same thing

[@SnowPink90]

I really loved her!!

[@Marilynlovesebiking]

I looked up those Morpho Brazilian butterflies. They sell for quite a lot. If they were half price that was a pretty good deal. I would not pay full price though. Yikes! Very high priced store. Congrats on the special vase.

[@ListPerfectlyYT]

Great video! I would never think to get home Decor but I might have to now.

[@rayray877]

Wow wow wow!!! on the Daum glass bowl!!!! Jocelyn could probably give you some great advice on the selling price. Wow!!!

[@rosellehorst5024]

It’s my fave Goodwill too! I reward myself by stopping there after visiting my doctor nearby.😊

[@janetwright1607]

Dagney! I love your Sister Bay, Door County, Wisconsin teeshirt that you’re wearing in that very cool camper chair❤️. Love your channel and Door County.💕

[@LindaKayHolevas]

Wow Dagny! That vase is absolutely beautiful! It would be so beautiful in my Boho apartment! Edit- the Goodwill that had all of the American Limoge dishes is priced more like my local Goodwills. I rarely shop there anymore because of the high prices. I end up getting frustrated & walking out, so I decided why do that to myself? xo

[@joannwiggins1537]

The compote is Challinor- Taylor from the 1890’s.

[@norakager4098]

What a find beautiful tall multicolored glass vase. Never saw one like this in Jocelyns’ collection . Congrats on that find.

[@MoonRaven777]

I really loved everything you got,Dagny.The two vases from the first thrift store were stunning!! The little green vase and the small bowl from France with the trees were so beautiful too!😍🥰

[@lisagrafton2529]

Your husband was right. We enjoy seeing what's on the shelves, whether you buy it or not. We love hearing you describe the items and share the prices. I have a different opinion on the high prices. It's become a "thing" for resellers to go to Goodwill and purchase items and resell them at very high prices. I think some Goodwill's feel that maybe they should get in the game, and earn more to help those in need. If it doesn't sell at the higher price, they always have half-off days. I don't feel sorry for resellers, who complain about high prices, especially since I can usually never make myself pay the high prices, plus the very high shipping costs, for most items in reseller"s stores. I know they don't have control over the seemingly never ending rise in pricies of shipping items. But they never seem to have "half-off" days like Goodwill does. This, of course, is just my singular opinion, and it doesn't stop me from realizing the work it takes for resellers to continue to shop and hunt down the next great deal, to add to their store. I do feel bad for those who are lower income and depend on Goodwill to supply them with items they need. Chances are, though, any good, high-quality item, will be gone when they go to shop, because of the many resellers who frequent those stores. I do have to add that you are my favorite "picker" I now watch on KZbin! Your delightful personality and kindness always shine through. I can feel for Jenny, as my mom used to drag some of us, to material stores, as she made most of our clothing (there were 9 children she sewed clothes for). To this day, (I just turned 60, in July), I do not go in to material/sewing notions stores! Jenny will either grow up to avoid all second-hand stores, or she'll catch the "discount bug" and only shop second hand, or at sales!

[@joannetumey4295]

When did the 2nd glassy baby come in? I missed something.. can’t understand the fuss but glad you have them..love your page…and your daughters also! You are sweet, smart and caring.. xoxo

[@FlyingPigThrifts]

Both of my Glassybabys were gifts from viewers! 😍

[@lucydavis1477]

I certainly would buy the restaurant ware that you passed up ; in particular the bagpipe plate. Top marked restaurant ware is highly desirable for me as a collector. I was broken hearted that it was left behind. I would make a special trip if I knew where it was .

[@debbied3116]

Scenery is beautiful!! I am with you on the prices that Goodwill charges!!! Items are given to them FREE and yet they charge an arm and a leg. In my opinion they are "thieves"!!!

[@pjwo40]

I really enjoy your enthusiasm and honest excitement for THINGS that catch your eye! You are a joy to go thrifting with vicariously.

[@dianehermann3342]

Wowzers Dagny love that vase 🏺 great find lady 🦋🦋

[@Sass-Glass]

Oops...congrats on your beautiful, once in a lifetime find of a three foot swung vase! How will you ship that? Or is that a keeper? Lol

[@LadyDiVintage1953]

I would keep it.

[@bereatha1]

I would keep it

[@kayhenry6293]

I love the videos where you combine your shopping with clips of your family and outings!

[@shelley6746]

Subscribed 08/31/22 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Great video..

[@betsyowings2985]

I love chocolate covered cherries And when u put this together. Makes me smile ♥️✌️

[@dtruetheeness]

You have a great sense of humour!

[@crystalmessick5680]

I have been looking for a figurine napkin holder for ages to display my great grandmother's hankies. I go to thrift stores and antique stores weekly. Maybe one day I will find one. Even with that being a hobbyist piece I would have scooped it up.

[@Sonshinereseller]

Oh wow! I found the smaller pottery bowl to that chip and dip and thought it was just a trinket dish. I guess it could be but that’s so funny, I now know what it really is. Same color and mark on the bottom:)

[@karenmilligan5597]

Those more expensive dishes must have been trimmed in gold, lol. You did find some goodies though. Enjoyed. TFS 🙂

[@hwelch2]

The Daum piece looks fabulous, what a great find! Even if it's a knock off version its looks good. The signature and quality are the tell but Jaclyn could be a great second opinion there...she's seen a few real and not. Thanks for the shop along, fun as always.😊🇨🇦

[@hwelch2]

The dishes were overpriced but I have to tell you, it would make me angry to want the set but find the cream, sugar and gravy boat missing...I'd be cursing re-sellers. Maybe that's why those pieces were priced higher. I know the money is there for pieces to complete sets but that too was a complete set. 🙄 A vicious circle (sigh) and it would be my luck.😄😊

[@stephaniethirtyacre9532]

I've wanted to try pate de verre glass making and admired daum because they have beautiful pieces. What a great find.

[@missyb.623]

I never saw a paper napkin holder like that. How neat!

[@angelawesson9978]

I’ve seen these before but they had ladies hankies

[@GrannysGarage333]

I love the plaid thermos you passed by!! Congrats on that fabulous vase!!

[@marie-christinezorn1037]

I have one & it keeps drinks hot my entire workday! Nothing new compares in quality. Country Living featured vintage thermoses yrs ago. I kept the article for dghtr sells after I'm gone. Lol

[@audreykavanaugh8589]

I’ve noticed several Goodwills have things priced extremely high. It does bother me because, as you said, their stock is DONATED to them.

[@kelleywilliamson1243]

I don’t know if this would work but I’m going to try it. I don’t like to see my reflection as well. I’m going to take a piece of white poster board and cut a hole large enough for my light ring/camera set up. That way you can’t see much in the reflection. I’ll let you know how well it works! Lol

[@maryroyer2978]

I would ask if they would give me a set price for the whole set. That's crazy.

[@jenno9028]

It angers me when goodwill over prices items that were donated for free. It’s not right. You are such an awesome person.

[@AAD2698]

I agree about those prices. As a "store" they get their merchandise for free DANG IT! I understand overhead but still.... Plus ours have now done away with senior discount day! If there was anyone who needed it now it's us!

[@debbewardlow9963]

You’re so funny and sweet! I love your videos when you are just being you!🤣😂❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@tiredandretired]

The chip and dip pottery piece in the Newport Goodwill looked like a vintage pineapple doily was used to impress the design. I have my grandmother's crochet books and made a large pineapple round tablecloth for my mother when I was in my 20's. I love to crochet doilies but not a great market for them.

[@jackiematt4394]

Will be watching for clear/ green glass bud vase 💛

[@hwy138]

I have NEVER seen a butterbell jar in my life. Only on you tube . That is where I found out about them. I am 33 year antique dealer and go to thrift stores all the time. I wonder why they are not a thing here in California.

[@ianwade7267]

i just love your personality im so glad you started you tube dont stop you and your family will do well xx

[@bettyfromthebarnoncranecreek]

DAGNEY!!...your Daum Nancy Cameo Art Glass piece is quite the find! WORTH LOTS OF $$!! The scenic pieces are highly desirable. Yours also has the cross of Lorraine plainly visible. NICE FIND!~ 🙂

[@marie-christinezorn1037]

Congrats on your Great finds! 4:01 yellow wicker w/4 inserts would have been a Perfect gft for Jocelyn to use in her sun rm and on her vintage yellow table/chairs set.

[@marie-christinezorn1037]

Congrats on the huge swing glass!

[@sherrypuckett6686]

Just wanted to say u are so very sweet. Thank you for ur gental and God like way in life . Have got to know u threw lamp lady who I love to watch too. Bless u now and always . It's nice to have calmness . But very interesting learning 🤔

[@janetwestbrook3818]

You are adorable. Love your reactions to prices! !

[@cherylhuot4436]

Wow that first shop was fabulous! Congratulations on the swung vase!! I think Goodwill prices are insane.

[@cindiweber2838]

You’re videos are so delightful. You are so much fun.

[@karlaglover9693]

What a fun trip to Goodwill. I am in love with the vase with the Japanese Lady on it so beautiful. Please Stay Safe, Happy And Healthy. Have A Wonderful Day

[@taravincent9699]

I just passed Martins pantry today and then drove through Wellsboro. I love seeing it on your video.

[@barbaralane7577]

The prices look very reasonable!!!!!!!

[@nancyhinds3821]

The chocolate covered cherries are my favorite, but they are expensive, so I don't get them often...

[@Sass-Glass]

Hi Dagny - regarding your video the other day where you were talking to Jenny about the Trapper keepers...they have made a comeback! I was in Walmart yesterday and they had two entire end caps in the school section devoted to The New Trapper Keeper!

[@dottierossi3276]

You never let us down! Another great video. Thanks for sharing.

[@Jeeprgirl]

So much fun!! What a difference in pricing! And, I hope you got the camp chair!! 🏕

[@jamiehubbard2825]

Great video as always Dagny. I love chocolate covered cherries. I buy Cella brand. I agree that the prices were way too high at that goodwill. Maybe they marked them so high because they knew they were having a sale which is wrong to do and even if that was the case, the prices were still too high for sale prices. I like the little green dish with the trees on it. It is pretty. I hope you go to the thrift store that you were talking about. Sending HUGS!! Take care! Have a good night. Hi Jenny and Jimmy!

[@midgethorn4083]

I would have gotten the snowman plate!☺️☺️☺️

[@sarzbeth]

Ive been watching you for awhile!! Thanks for helping me gain the bravery to make my first EVER thrifting video. I'd love some feedback!!!!! New videos every Thursday!!! Check me out! I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS THE MOST!

[@annsmith4739]

Hi Dagny fab find lv Ann uk 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@bereatha1]

I love the contemporary owl. It is such a pretty color. I have noticed here in Indianapolis, the Goodwill prices have really increased and I guess most of the Goodwills have upped their prices.

[@annecooper6061]

really great finds and good fun. Thanks Dagny. Love spending time with you! 🌼

[@DigginWithDeej]

Some of those prices were insane!

[@suemuenchow3374]

I have that popcorn bowl we received it in 1983 as a wedding gift.

[@DP-ez1kt]

That vase is spectacular! I had to edit to say how much I liked the green vase and the cameo bowl. Very nice.

[@FlyingPigThrifts]

Thanks so much 😊

[@Sadiia53]

Our Goodwill‘s don’t do color tag sales or senior discounts or military discounts anymore 🙁

[@lindabeck4254]

I agree on those prices! Even on half price days, they still are making a profit because, like you said, it is a free donation!!!

[@YOSOBOHO]

So many things! Expensive things. Fun things. White things… lol. 💕Amy (fellow camper!)

[@stephaniereller8179]

Went to Walmart today..they had a McCoy cannister set for 50$..when I got home I looked it up..40$ on Ebay..they're getting ridiculous

[@marthapellor7162]

Great finds, enjoy watching you so much! Thank you!

[@mammaduck5560]

U missed a Im winning 🙏at the 2nd GW

[@Korenscollections]

Wow what a find. I love gnomes.

[@susanfitzgerald2443]

I can't believe you passed over the blue & white plates at about 18 1/2 minutes. They are made by Currier & Ives..The dinner plates are called The Grist Mill. I grew up with these. They have all kind of different scenes on them. My mother would pick up a new piece every week at Publix. I have my set from my mom tucked away right now bc I'm not doing blue right now..but the dinner plates go anywhere from $10 to $25.. I wish you had looked at one and turned it over. Hopefully you'll notice them next time. Good luck with your hunting! 🥰 Edit.. I guess they didn't look them up either..the cup and saucer was only $1.99..Wow!

[@allysonmartin3161]

I really appreciate the pace of your videos. They are so easy to watch!

[@FlyingPigThrifts]

Glad you like them!

[@francesh3423]

I take a perverse pleasure in finding items not on the 'list' to mark up ridiculously (Limoges, Pyrex Royal Doulton etc) that are valuable and unknown to the CEO's making the list and raking in the millions.

[@amyroberts7248]

I had to laugh about the use of the word Things!!!! All I kept hearing in my head was duck duck goose lol.......things, things ITEMS run youre it lol I love your videos

[@sheri3108]

That was fun visiting several in one day.

[@erinchamberlain1315]

Goodwill is out of bounds with the pricing. Another fun one Dagny!!!! Thanks for sharing ❤️

[@tiredandretired]

The Newport Goodwill's floor is older than most of the items on the shelf! Lol!

[@sandralovegrove2805]

Oh Dagny you are so cute ... how many times did you say "things" 😂 great finds!

[@vickimaddox8711]

The vase is awesome! Great find. The chair is pretty col. I've not seen any like those.

[@briggsyontheridge3598]

That's a shame for the high prices because you know they'll end up in the GW Outlet broken and headed for the incinerator. Tsk, tsk GW!

[@lindacunningham1574]

That Daum Nancy sweet little bowl is a big find!

[@danarandol164]

You found a Daum in the wild! And so calm about it! Forget glassy baby 😉

[@FlyingPigThrifts]

Because I had no idea at the time! Ignorance was bliss!!

[@myrtlemoore7611]

You can go and shop in goodwill and other stores and find something but majority of the prices are way too high and we know-it-all these little comments you're making of how you can do this and how you can do that I know perfect I mean going for years over 20 years and it's ridiculous and I don't even go anymore boom

[@tammiesanchez6]

Omg. I have never seen to much Homer Laughlin in on place. I collect that!!! You would never see that here in South East New Mexico. Soooo Pretty!

[@pou618]

Salvation Army doesn't break up sets of matching china.

[@lynnjudkins9078]

So fun loved your laughing at yourself I do that all the time

[@darkkiss7247]

I have a vase just like it!

[@sandylipscomb7003]

Get the WCFields mug! They sale them in Williamsburg ‼️‼️‼️

[@barbarajeanne8351]

That blue hand painted vase🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@leaannpedigo8944]

rubbing compound for cars will take scratches out. easy

[@kimeverhart6253]

That little yellow wire dived tray with the glass ( ?) inserts…I wish you had picked that up for yourself!! It would look so cute on your picnic table at your campsite!! It’s looks like it would be very practical as well!! 🤷🏼‍♀️💖
