[@marlacainraisingcain]

Well Rhonda, that makes my heart swell up!! I am truly humbled to be a bright spot in your day! 🌞 ❤️

[@maryornelas6655]

Feel better friend. You do you, wear that blouse how you please. Love, Lulu

[@marlacainraisingcain]

Thank you!! I am a wimpy cold sufferer 😫 🤒 🤧 but I am an inventive clothes wearer 😆 🤣 😂

[@brendaduty4903]

Hi Marla, I was starting to worry about you. I pray you and your family feel better soon. I liked all of your treasures, you always find such good stuff. The wagon reminds me of the one I had growing up mine was a little bigger. We used it to carry our clothes in to the laundry mat. Nice photo of you and your husband, you are a beautiful couple. Take care, feel better soon, and God Bless you and your family!!!😊❤️🍄have a nice night and get some rest!!!

[@marlacainraisingcain]

Thank you, Brenda, for the love and prayers and sweet compliment to me and my fella 💕 I haven't felt well enough to put my little wagon into my decor yet... but I will! 😃

[@brendaduty4903]

@@marlacainraisingcain your welcome Marla! Take your time and get well🥰❤️

[@cindygingras4729]

You are so down to earth and delightful ...the kind of person I wish was my neighbor ! Great treasures, would love to see what you do with the wagon and mushrooms. Take care and feel better soon !

[@marlacainraisingcain]

Cindy, that's the best compliment! I'm happy to be your KZbin neighbor, for sure 😊 ❤️ I will film the mushrooms 🍄 in the planter project! And I will let you know where the little red wagon ends up too 😃

[@mariluengo4220]

Welcome back Marla!!! We missed you !!!. I’m sorry you were sick on your trip but I’m glad you’re back.You are a trooper to do this haul for us. You always find the best treasures with the best prices.You really scored with the plates and everything .I hope your family recovers quickly. May GOD bless you and your family!!!🙏❤️😘

[@marlacainraisingcain]

Thank you do much, Mari!! I'm slow to reply because it did take several days in the bed for me to get past the worst of this bug, but I am on the mend! So glad you enjoyed seeing the pieces I found in North Carolina! 😃 ❤️

[@hopealdridge1134]

Marla, so happy to see you ! Sorry you are not feeling the best, but I sure enjoyed seeing your thrift haul ! The picture of you and your "condiment wasters" is so good...beautiful/handsome people! I think my favorite thing you scored would have to be the books and that little red wagon ! Take care and feel better !😺🐕🐦

[@marlacainraisingcain]

Thank you, Hope! It took all week but I'm better today, praise the Lord 🙌 And thanks for the compliments on my big old grown boys whom I love even though they waste all the sauces 😆 ❤️

[@nancyhopple750]

EVERYTHING you are showing, I NEED in my life. Such wonderful finds. Just sorry you got a cold while away but it appears it didn't stop your flow. Enjoy everything you came home with and keep sharing with us. God Bless You and yours, Nancy, LeLand NC

[@marlacainraisingcain]

Nancy, it's always such an adventure to see what old stuff I can find! And the funny old things I find give me loads of enjoyment!! 😃 I see that you get to live in the beautiful state of North Carolina 😍

[@vintagegirl2739]

Bless you as well, praying you get better quickly.🙏🏻💕 Summer colds always seem worse because it's not cold season. Those 70's Mushroom cannisters go for good money now. If you see them, get them for your booth. 40's & 50's are my favorite decades as well. 🥰

[@marlacainraisingcain]

Yes, I think I will get any that I happen to come across! 🍄

[@loselydo]

I love this thrift haul, so many great things! But, when you threw the pic of the “condiment wasters” I laughed so hard! I’m a mom of 3 (now grown) sons and this was a struggle when it came to ranch dressing especially 😂

[@marlacainraisingcain]

Oh, ranch dressing, dip for chips, salsa, ketchup, you name it!! I think the only cure for that is when they start having to buy it for their own kitchens... 😆 🤣 😂

[@PiperOtis]

The wagon is a treasure I would love to have. I plan to put it on an old singer sewing base, the metal kind, and make it a plant stand! Praying you all feel better soon 🙏🏻

[@marlacainraisingcain]

That's a great idea, Annette! And thanks so much for your prayers ❤️ I really appreciate it!

[@vintagegirl2739]

What a darling wagon. Love the picture example of one full of books. Love them with flowers but I'd use pots in it. Awesome 1858 book. I was at an Estate Sale on Saturday going through books & I thought of you. The husband was a school teacher & they had alot of neat old books. I brought a small box of them home. 🥰

[@marlacainraisingcain]

The children's books in the wagon appealed to me too... and I would use plants in pots in the wagon to keep it easily available for switching to other ideas. So far it's patiently waiting for me to do something fabulous with it but I'm too puny 😆

[@vintagegirl2739]

@@marlacainraisingcain haha. Hope you're feeling better. 💕

[@lisajmock]

Prayers for you and your family to feel much better quickly in Jesus' name. Where do tou like to go camping? My husband and I also have a pop-up. We enjoy it. We live in southeast Alabama. I would love to meet you some day and maybe go thrifting with you. You absolutely have the sweetest spirit about you. Have a blessed week. 😊 Loved all your thrifting "goodies".

[@marlacainraisingcain]

Hey, Alabama neighbor! 👋 and thank you for the prayers, Lisa! We love to camp in Tennessee around the Hiwassee and Ocoee rivers. That's about an hour north of Chattanooga, only about a 2.5 hour drive for us. It's beautiful there, and my guys love to whitewater kayak on those rivers. Maybe we will cross paths one day! 😃 ❤️

[@ambermoy8147]

Oh Marla... those books are absolutely breathtaking 😍 The floral is just gorgeous‼️

[@marlacainraisingcain]

Yes, the floral print on those books is just fabulous!! I will make sure the covers show when I display them 🌸

[@CrepeMyrtleRow]

Lots of cute things! I have a red radio flyer wagon that was old and I drilled some holes in it and planted succulents and made it a fairy garden. It’s been like that for about 6 years now and has held up beautifully. Yours would be cute like that and add the mushrooms. I’m right there with you on getting hot. It never fails the minute I start to film I start sweating well probably because I’m having a hot flash!

[@marlacainraisingcain]

Lordy, once I get hot, it's just about too late 🔥 🥵 so I have just broken down and started keeping an old rag like a legit granny. I have accepted this reality 😆 🤣 😂

[@MsJet1]

I love the wagon and books and mushroom lights!

[@marlacainraisingcain]

Thanks, JoAnn! The old books just thrill my old granny heart ❤️ and I can't wait to get those mushrooms set up somewhere magical ✨️ 🍄 🪴 I can't decide where the wagon should go yet!

[@vintagegirl2739]

Aww, love the shout out 🥰 Thank you. I did see your comment about the box feet & replied. Love your trays on the wall & white lamp on the piano. Really cute Swan.

[@marlacainraisingcain]

Thanks, girlfriend! 😃 my old trays make me smile over there, and that milk glass electric lamp has a flicker bulb that I leave on all the time, for the happy cozy feeling it gives ❤️

[@tanaconnelly6960]

Oh my, bonus prints.🌞

[@marlacainraisingcain]

I couldn't believe it!!! I decided to let the sheep picture be featured first. It's so sweet! 🐑 😃 ❤️

[@christinemoniz8998]

I just love you ❤️ had me laughing with the ad libs hahaha such nice things you found I know what you mean about the wagon I saw a apple bank that would come out and grab the penny I had one got a little flip in my heart ❤️ I'm not feeling great either everyone seems to be sick right now 😭 feel better rest girl 🙏❤️

[@marlacainraisingcain]

Christine, I pray you're better than I have been! I was in bed most of the week, and that's rare for me to be that weak. I'm better today, and rode with my guys on a little road trip which included a stop at Cave Spring Georgia. Making a video of the lovelies there! 😃 💕

[@joandavis676]

Feel better soon! If you like those solar mushrooms you need to check out The Shabby Tree on YT. Barbara Lewis makes the simplest solar glass mushrooms out of Dollar Tree items: a glass bowl, a glass vase and a simple solar light. You stick the solar light in the ground, place the glass vase over it (upside down) and place the bowl upside down on top. The sun gets through the clear glass to light them up at night. I made 3.

[@marlacainraisingcain]

Oh, I will have to go check that out! Sounds very cute! 🍄 😃

[@cindyhancock5261]

So sorry you were sick! Hope you healed quickly! Love all your thrifting videos so much! You are my newest fran!!🤗Blessings!💛🙏🏻💛

[@marlacainraisingcain]

So glad we are frans!! 😃 ❤️ and glad youre enjoying my videos! Pretty sure we all had covid on that NC trip, which triggered all my autoimmune symptoms. Praise the Lord I am nearly normal now! 🙌

[@judybatts1348]

Hope you and your family are feeling better. Great stuff and I was admiring your blouse before you said it was on backwards. I hate anything pushing on my throat so I would have done same.

[@marlacainraisingcain]

I'm loving my little blouse worn backward! Free, unrestricted breathing is a must 😆 Thanks for prayers for getting over this cold. It has been a mean one!

[@rachelmccracken1326]

Such great treasures! So sorry you spent your vaca sick, but glad you are on the mend! That frame with the Dutch print is amazing! That is so exciting that there were bonus print inside! :) What a pleasant surprise!

[@marlacainraisingcain]

Thanks, Rachel ❤️ I am a little bit better today but this was a mean old cold! We still had lots of good fun together and I did find special things that I will remember from that trip 😃

[@christinemoniz8998]

Girl when you pull out the cloth and starting wiping your face ..mom.use to always do that ❤️

[@marlacainraisingcain]

I knowwwww... I am a legit granny and I have fully embraced it 😆 🤣 😂

[@juliafeliciano5372]

First hope you are feeling better also the family ❤️🙏🏼 oh that wagon is amazing ❤️I remember buying one for my boys at toysRus and they didn’t really care for it ☹️actually I bought it because when I was little I really wanted one 🤷🏼‍♀️ also those old books 📚 are beautiful and love those mushroom 🍄 solar lights 🌿🌱💕 God bless you and your family 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼

[@marlacainraisingcain]

Julia, I've done the same thing... getting something for my kids because I wanted one as a child! Oh well, we can say we bought it first ourselves and just enjoy it anyway! I am a little better but it's been rough! ❤️ thanks for the prayers!

[@cindybehn9801]

I must be a real older older too. I live books and history and plates and going to all old stores/estates…. I’m just things I should have lived with my Grammy -sometimes!

[@marlacainraisingcain]

I've said many times that my old soul could have lived 100 years ago, EXCEPT that I am surely and certainly dependent upon air conditioning in this Alabama heat! 🔥 🥵 😆

[@pennyfourshee4201]

Wonderful finds. Our son and daughter-in-law both graduated from WCU two years ago. We only live a little over two hours away in Hickory. Thanks so much for sharing

[@marlacainraisingcain]

Penny, I love your home state! I never get tired of seeing the mountains layered with smoky clouds ⛅️ ⛰️ 😍 Congrats to your son and daughter-in-law for graduating from such an ideally located university... it had to be awesome to be so close to the beauty of the Nantahala area! And you live close to it too 😃 ❤️

[@maureenrosewag4099]

It’s always great watching your videos you make me smile. I love listening to you talk about your family also. Can’t wait to se what you do with your little red wagon, I like that picture of using it for books 📚 Hope you all get well soon blessings S

[@marlacainraisingcain]

Thanks, Maureen! I still haven't decided where that sweet little rusty wagon will go! I will be sure to show what I do with it in a future video! 😃 ❤️

[@sandieyule1644]

Sorry you were sick on your vacation. Yes, I sat here wondering what you had hanging by that door, it was your paddles. lol thanks for reading my mind. LOL I like your top!!

[@marlacainraisingcain]

Ha! It's crazy that I didn't think about the fact that those paddles would be directly behind me for the video! I get so used to seeing them, I get kayak-gear-blind to them 😩 😆 I am finally beginning to feel better after that virus hit us in NC. It triggered my other ailments but PTL I am gonna make it!! 🙌 ❤️

[@donnaendres3235]

Marla, you find the best treasures. The wagon is on my wish list. I’ve seen some going for $35 on up and not in as good a shape as yours. Feel better, friend!

[@marlacainraisingcain]

Donna, I have been so patient while waiting for a wagon to come along! I think 8.75 is a steal, and the rust makes it all the more charming to me ❤️ 💕

[@trotting-along-thrifting]

Just love watching you. You seem so relaxed and real. Love your decorating style looks like my house lol 😆

[@marlacainraisingcain]

Well tha k you, Tammie! 😃 My home is full of people and as full of antiques as I can manage without crossing the line into hoarder category! So glad you're enjoying my channel! 💕

[@vintagegirl2739]

What an awesome find to get all those prints in a frame. 😮😊 I have a cute little ceramic dutch bell my Mom gave me to sell. It's got a metal windmill, I should send it to you. 😉

[@marlacainraisingcain]

Aw! I ended up leaving the sheep print in the front for now, I was so excited about the extra prints in there!! I may use the Dutch print in another frame so I can have them both out at once 😜

[@loisfarmer1261]

OMG...love all the dishes you picked up!

[@marlacainraisingcain]

Thanks, Lois! I love old dishes!! 😍

[@christinemoniz8998]

The condiment wasters hahahaha my son is also in that club 🤪😭

[@marlacainraisingcain]

They are unreasonably wasteful. I feel like they wouldn't waste it if THEY were buying it though!! 🤷

[@vickieforner7414]

Hello Lexi it's Vickie lol .I wondered about you today and here you are ! Take care of yourself my momma would say you sound "Heavy" ... meaning chest congestion. Summer colds are the worst.

[@marlacainraisingcain]

Well hey, Vickie! 👋😆 Bless it, your momma is right, I sound heavy and feel heavy in my chest. I'm laying around, thinking about my glass mushrooms 🍄 and wishing I felt like doing things! 😩 But I'm going to speak life and say I'm better than I was yesterday, and tomorrow will be better 🌞 ❤️ 🙌

[@alwilkerson77]

Always, always, great treasures! And honestly...I thought the paddles were part of your decor! 😅🤣 Everything around them is just so pretty...the vibrant color just blends! Thanks for sharing your fun finds, beautiful home, and lovely personality! 😁

[@marlacainraisingcain]

Ha! 😆 Kayak equipment is ✨️ALWAYS✨️ smooshed into my regular decor... I have accepted this fact for the most part 😆 and just carry on with my life! When it gets too overbearing, I do have to start nagging the guys to put it away. They'd be ok if it sat in the middle of the house all the time 😅

[@leahvelasquez8102]

I find that Ricola Original Herb cough drops help immensly when I have to talk and I have a nasty tickle/cough. Hope you feel better. Love the haul!

[@marlacainraisingcain]

Yes! That really does help. I've got some super strong prescription cough syrup which makes me slightly high 😆 and that's getting me through this ordeal!

[@leobardochavez7190]

Great stuff loved it

[@marlacainraisingcain]

So glad you enjoyed!! 😃 👋

[@maryjomathews4749]

Hope you feel better soon.

[@marlacainraisingcain]

Thank you, Mary Jo! I'm finally a little better but spent a few days in bed 😔 and thankful to be up now!!

[@brendaneel9905]

How do you have your house decorate it so pretty with all your kiddos?

[@marlacainraisingcain]

Well Brenda, the truth is that I love to decorate, and I'm willing to "let" my family live amongst my vast collection of old junk 😆 even though my son Joel is a minimalist and does complain a bit. I remind him that this is MY house, and when he acquires his own house he is free to keep it as bare as his heart desires 😆 🤣 😂

[@cindybehn9801]

Btw. I hope you feel better!

[@marlacainraisingcain]

Thank you, Cindy! I am on the mend and nearly feeling normal again! 😃 🙌

[@CourtneyGrande]

I ain’t gonna lie, I thought you were using those paddles as decor 😂😅

[@marlacainraisingcain]

Might as well be decor... it's always EVERYWHERE in my world 😆
