I can’t even tell you how much I look forward to Sundays and Tuesdays

[@corricatt]

Me too!!!!!

[@slfiefia]

Same!!

WARNING : PLEASE make sure that the glass mug you bought is actually intended for hot drinks. I had a very similar one a few years ago and took my hot tea in it every morning for 6 months until one morning, after pouring the hot tea, my glass literally exploded. I was lucky that the water did not touch my face but only a part of my thigh where I now have a forever scar. Please be safe

[@dinglebarry528]

Keep a spoon in it to help to redirect the heat.

[@jeanettemullins]

Yeah, they have to be a specific type of glass to cope with the sudden temperature change. That sounds like a scary experience. I had a glass bowl shatter when I put a cold pudding in it and refrigerated it. You never really know with glass unless it specifically says what temperatures it can cope with.

[@konstantinadrosouneufeld4164]

Yes, those look like beer mugs 🍻

[@ansleylailany2004]

Thank you for this tip!!

[@superannieoakley4513]

Don't see my other post, but pretty sure I found your glasses! They're called "Rosenthal Dynasty Heritage Klar tumblers"! They're usually $20+ each, so u obviously got a steal! They're so beautiful 💖

[@msb5775]

MaCenna I’d love to see a video of you going to yard sales/estate sales and seeing what you can get there. Also, there are sales specifically for when a house is being demolished where you can get building supplies from that house (paver tiles, windows, doors, etc). If you can find some of those (try Craigslist) then you might get some vintage stuff you can put into the new addition.

[@kendrak6184]

Your mom’s paintings are absolutely gorgeous!! There was one in another recent vlog that I think she was gonna make prints of and sell the original… it was my favorite. I need to check out her Etsy shop!

[@Yvonne-kk6cd]

Your mother is so talented. I love her paintings. Thank her for sharing them with us.

[@corricatt]

I just adore the relationship you and your Mom have, you are so blessed to have a best friend and genuinely lovely person to call Mama. This vlog was so fun with the thrifting and really getting into your Mom’s very talented work/workshop! Thanks MaCenna! see ya Sunday 😃

[@hedy3648]

Kinsley looking at everything and smelling them is such a mood

[@hollisteez]

Every time we see your mom in videos, I cannot stop staring at how perfect and voluminous her hair always is. I want her to give us a hair tutorial 🙏🤗

[@jimindragged-me-in1067]

omg yes her hair is amazing

[@hollisteez]

@@jimindragged-me-in1067 magical. Like how does she get so much volume and keep it so wispy in that Texas weather!?

[@aimeenunez6382]

Your moms painting are stunning literally in awe of her talent. The one with the cambin screams fox`run di fiori to me 😍

[@stevie8787]

I love the relationship you have with your mom. It reminds me of me and my mom so much. We love thrift shopping and crafting together. Your videos with her are a constant reminder of how grateful I am to have her. Also, your mom’s art is beautiful!! 💕

[@melinalewerenz3064]

I LOVE that serene scene painting! Your mom is so talented.

[@corricatt]

What is up with the thumbs down? if ya don’t get it, go away 🚪

[@victoriafleming8215]

I was literally cooking dinner and thinking - awk I can’t wait till MaCenna puts up a new Vlog. I need my fix ☺️☕️ And boom 😃💜 thanks girl!! You wee worker yee!! Belfast girl Xxx

[@xomacennavlogs]

yayyy!!

[@corricatt]

That also happened to me last week LOL

[@nclare7]

I love those clear coffee mugs with the diamond pattern, the ribbed glasses and the brass tea pot! Great finds!

[@madelinesmith4917]

Macenna how do you come out with two vlogs a week and do all of the house remodel?? 😭😭❤️ Love your vlogs & house series so much!!!!

[@nevenagrue3023]

That " La Cota" thing was used in old times to worm up the bed on cold days. You fill it with hot coal and put it under the covers :D

[@julieanne7223]

Your Mum has so much talent, love her art and the frames look wonderful.

[@Qrtuop]

Lmao do your daughter a favor and get her the astronaut book rather than the princess one.

[@learningbytaste]

This video makes me want a daughter so I can have a thrifting bff for life.

[@corricatt]

While my daughter was in high school, we loved thrifting together. She learned a lot of great older music during those trips 😍

[@preethivaidyanathan3368]

boys can thrift too!

[@imaginempress3408]

My son is my best thrifter. When he was a baby he called it going to Fleamark.

[@amywi8938]

You always find such great items. Love watching you and your mom. I was so excited to hear that your mom released some new original art... I had to rush straight over to Etsy. Can't wait for it to arrive... been looking for a good landscape painting. Thanks mom!!

[@gc0009]

omg your moms paintings are talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before, unafraid to reference or not reference! i love it! ♥

[@justme5544]

Your mom's honesty is so precious! "I didn't teach you how to cook" LOVE it!

[@gretardum8286]

In Norway your new coffemug was a typical beerglas in the 80s🍺. Love your mothers art.

[@me4getz]

thank goodness - I needed a good vlog today! I love how your frame find moves around your room. I have that Cinderella book. It was my favorite.

[@slfiefia]

McKenna is so contagious! I can’t help but laugh when she laughs haha love her

[@linsmitt]

I think maybe this teapot is South Korean and used for warming / serving makgeolli (lovely slightly sparkling rice wine) I sugges you buy and test it out 😊

[@julesoyler4306]

Sorry... at 3:07 WAIT.... what?! You didnt get the "candle holders"?! OMgosh, they are perfect, maybe painted flat black? A touch of modern?

[@eyzhuh_studios]

That glasses set is called “fluted” glass and I want some sooo bad too! Been on the hunt for them thrifted

[@lindsey3291]

It would be awesome if you filmed a mother/daughter thrift haul! I'm always so curious as to what your mom gets and how she's going to style it!

[@anitabarker3125]

Your mom is an excellent artist!

[@Lolo_Schmidt]

Omg KINSLEY!! We’ve missed you! 😘😘

[@DeepakBhakoo]

Every time. Every single time. Whenever I am about to sleep, you are here. Hehe. Sending you best wishes from India. So excited and eagerly waiting for the house work to get completed and then watch all the wonderful things you do with the decor and more. Love you 😍 once more…

[@shibijose]

😃Same with me. Am from India too and seriously I too just can't resist seeing this just when I'm about to doze off.

[@DeepakBhakoo]

@@shibijose 😊

[@paulinbniin3921]

Omg 🥺 your moms paintings are so beautiful, so sad it’s US only, I from Sweden and can’t buy any of them 🥺💔

[@vicriosrn]

Ive been having a hard day, so I’ve been looking forward to this video to help cheer me up! Thanks for posting snd sharing your joy with us!💕

[@danielrios1465]

I love you so much Victoria Buckingham!! Please marry meee😍💍

[@corricatt]

@@danielrios1465 stalk much? 😵

[@karenefthemes9817]

Just curious how you shop thrift store?? Do you go in looking for specific items (fluted glassware), go with the flow and see what’s there?? When I thrift, I end up buying a lot of stuff/crap, that I end up not loving and later give away…. Clearly, I need to refine my shopping…

[@blossomyourhome]

I love when you you call your mom, mama. My son calls me that and it warms my heart every time.

[@cd2659]

You absolutely can read Cinderella and The Little Mermaid to a boy too. Love the ribbed glasses. Also, do you have basements in Texas?

[@lorihumphry6379]

Macenna, where do you get your energy?? You are always so happy!! Thanks for making my days. I look forward to your new videos, vlogs, etc.

[@reneeb4308]

The tall drinking glasses might have been mass produced for hotels. They look like diner or hotel drinking glasses.

[@graceb6254]

Honestly I love you but I do have 1 complaint about your videos... need more Kinsley

[@jessicawalters3024]

Not sure if you'll see this :) but would you and your mom ever consider doing a "paint with me" video?

[@ksaunders52kl]

Texas have some of the best thrift stores. When I lived there, I furnished my apartments twice from thrift store and bulk day finds.

[@JenMUA]

I did not think you were going to buy that sweater, wasn’t my fave and then you had it on and it was perfect! Love that.

[@zoeemiko8149]

Your vertical ribbed glasses were all the rage in the 50's. The clear were more for the bar cart and the colored for the family dinner table. I remember them from my childhood. Yup, I'm that old. Mom got hers at Woolworths. How do I remember this? My sister & I were fighting in the back seat of the car & broke them. I had literally just started getting an allowance- as in the 1st time ever - when a month's worth of our allowances had to go to replacing her glasses. The devastation was very real but the lessons that came with that experience have lasted a lifetime. I don't know if yours date back to that time but that's when the vertical ribbed glasses hit the scene.

[@edithlinnea2431]

Does your mom paint with oil or acrylics? Such beautiful art!

[@mackenziedavidson4974]

at 8:07, I'm pretty sure that's a bed warmer! you would put coals in it from the fire and then stick it under your sheets in the winter to warm the bed before you get in ☺

[@unnamedxx]

The thing at 8:10 is an old Italian terra-cotta cooker made in the 70s I believe (I could be off on the date so don’t quote me).

[@julyriver8851]

8:12 Yes, it's Italian. I think it's something to cook with but I've honestly never seen it. I could read "LA COTTA" Marchio Depositato - La Salute è nella Cotta. Anyway, love your videos, so inspiring for my projects too. Greetings from Italy 👋🙂

[@leahf1260]

Those ribbed glasses are my pyrex bowls. The hunt begins.

[@carriemartinez2933]

MaCenna, if you ever want a super easy, cheap, delicious chili recipe hit me up, I got you!!!!

[@racyree3620]

Where can we purchase your mom's paintings?

[@kelly-janes]

I'm so glad you enjoy vlogging!! I always look forward to these videos!!

[@demiwilliams1201]

I'm sure that the orange round thing with a handle is actually a coal bed warmer xxx

[@madiseeeen]

i’m in quarantine right now so i am absolutely living for your thrift with me videos, cant wait to get back to the thrift store!! love all your videos macenna!!!!

[@corricatt]

I feel your pain, although, I live in Fl where our Gov doesn’t give a crap.. the few months of lockdown, thrift stores closed.. was just awful!!

[@rachaeldiviney712]

I'm pretty sure that orangey oval thing at 8:13 is a bed warmer. You fill it with embers and put it under your sheets, back before central heating when people had fireplaces in each room

[@brittanyb1120]

Your moms paintings are just simply stunning. My jaw is always dropped when you show them!! You 2 are truly so talented 🥺🤍

[@Yogimama14]

I genuinely don't know which of these videos I enjoy more, MaCenna - the cottage restoration series or these thrift shopping ones, especially because 1) I'm constantly decorating/changing up/improving my home and 2) I am OBSESSED with thrifting! THANK YOU for sharing your stories with us. I can't tell you what a wonderful escape it is to watch you every week :)

[@TamarLitvot]

I love the way you keep finding new and interesting styles of glassware you like. It's fun following along as your thrift store hunts change. I sooo understand your mother saying she didn't cook because she worked! I worked part time and cooked several times a week -- that was my compromise. But not like my mother who cooked a hot breakfast, packed our lunches and cooked dinner every day even though she worked. That's what it was like in the 50s and 60s. (She did work part time however). Glad your and my daughters' generation isn't so tied to gender roles.

[@tahreemmahnaz9353]

U getting the salt and pepper thing made me so happyyyyy😭😭😭

[@paintbrushkeli7530]

omg is that painting signed?? I think my mom painted that!!!

[@1stepcl0ser]

kinsley is like the cutest thing ever. the highlight of every video lol

[@kerriedimarzio8891]

Never want your videos to finish!! 😍

[@heidihalderman1118]

Your pullover I would pa full price for it, ‘cuz it’s too cool.

[@pizzakrydder2515]

The ribbed glasses you saw online, they are so pretty but the reviews always say that they break super easily..so I think you made the right choice!

[@QueenNanaEva]

MaCenna, “I need a straight ruler” I’m thinking, are rulers crooked?

[@dianadougherty1082]

I love that your pup is so interested!

[@lovidas6297]

Can't wait till the house is finished.

[@colourmailife4208]

Your mum‘s paintings are so so beautiful. She should do a painting tutorial 😃 And I really liked this vlog as always ❤️

[@laurahusser6932]

It's insane to me that you don't have AT LEAST 1M subscribers. You truly deserve it.

[@helenhypnotic7625]

It’s a La Cotta stovetop roaster/grill

[@ΙΩΑΝΝΑ-ζ4μ]

Hello from Greece! :-) I use these glass textured mugs for beer. I think that the coffee is getting cool faster at these than at the ceramic ones.

[@Rahaf-ic6kh]

2:40 vintage لدرجة تحصله في بقالة عندنا هههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههه

[@rachelalice]

I got some diamond etched glass mugs exactly like those in a charity shop here in Ireland and I instantly thought of you when I saw them!

[@kristin4241]

When MaCenna uploads and you directly click on the vlog cause you cannot wait what she is thrifting or DIYing ;)

[@xomacennavlogs]

eeekkk thank you!!!

[@michelleback996]

Absolutely Looove Kingsley she is so Gorgeous ❤️🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

Woww, your mom’s paintings are SO BEAUTIFUL, MaCenna! 💕 Love all your videos, btw ❤️

[@kaloofficial1722]

So Beautiful 🥰

[@gaylesimper9311]

Your mother's art is gorgeous!!!! I love landscapes and her flowers are beautiful 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@tambij]

Well the Apple Did Not Fall Far From The Tree In Your Family. “🌳🍎” I Don’t Think It Fell Off The Tree at ALL!!! Your Family Is Sooo Talented 🌺🌸🌼🌹 PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, SHARE THE NAME OF YOUR MOMS ETSY STORE????? 🌺🌸🌼🌹🌷💐. I see it on your description page, I look there every time I watch your Vlog. I’m so Happy 😀. I have ordered 3 prints from Her new collection. I’m Sooo Excited

[@yorkielover1027]

I am also obsessed with everything ribbed glass. Those glasses are an amazing find!!! I got my set of glasses at Crate and Barrel, but they were not $1 a piece 😭

[@sandrasanders9290]

Your Mom needs to paint enough that we can all buy one! I don’t know which I like best, they are all just beautiful!

[@heidil.4651]

Can we purchase your mom’s paintings? I’ve never really been into art but my God those are SO BEAUTIFUL!!!! They really make me feel something. Is that super corny??? 🤦🏼‍♀️😂 But seriously I just love them! EDIT: if I would’ve waited 30 seconds longer you would’ve answered my question! Lol. Thank you! I will absolutely be looking for several!

[@ClaudioAlessandri]

Awesome video and you are very pretty! Congratulations! God bless you!

[@KimberlyDurrMusic]

🌓Yeassssssssss, I ran to click on this video 🤣, I love your video and I completely agree I love vlogging as well, I’m about post my second vlog later today and my singing video today as well. It’s so much fun and a form of therapy for me. Thanks so much for sharing with us. Have a wonderful rest of the week sugar 🙋🏾‍♀️🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎

[@aprilsmith6587]

The LaCotta is a bed warmer.

[@2Blessed]

I love the Cinderella book -I had that one, but my younger sisters tore it all to pieces, the little rats!

[@janineforest1761]

I had this book too! It was so loved and worn. It fell apart. I remember tracing pictures of the evil stepsisters from that book. I would then tape up my drawings to throw darts at them. 🤣

[@corricatt]

@@janineforest1761 🤣😂😅

[@1xoxolovexoxo3]

WOW! your mother is an amazing artist!!!! Such beautiful artwork

[@tambij]

We Love when you take us thrifting, driving, building your Cottage, Especially when your Momma is with you. I Love your Mom!! What is Her Etsy Shop Called????? I Always try to find Her on Etsy. I try to find the Kingsley painting She did for you just to make sure it’s Her. But maybe that painting is not even on there. Have a Great Day! 🌺 🌱 🍂

[@ruthbarton9608]

Ohhh!!! I'm so glad she has another art drop!! And those glasses and mugs you got are making me want to go thrift shopping after work. 😉

[@angieemm]

MACENNA! I NEED that EAPG platter at 2:59! I'm 90% sure it's Pineapple & Floral by Indiana Glass Co and that's the pattern I collect. Man...

[@dclarkmcdonald]

I cannot believe that you found that Cinderella book for a quarter!! We recently had a Cinderella party for my daughter, and I bought this exact book on Etsy for like $15. Honestly, I probably would've paid more for it. That's how bad I had to have it! 😂

[@thehomebaker3111]

I love kinsley so much that's why I named my dog kinsley.I LOVE YOUR VLOGS SO MUCH!😘

[@kimberlysusie701]

I am obsessed with glassware, also. When you were showing your haul I thought those glass mugs looked familiar, I have them! Background story...they were a gift with purchase when you bought Paul Sebastian fragrance! They are from early 90's. 35 years working in cosmetics will jog your memory. Enjoy!

[@heatherhoward4289]

I found the glasses on Amazon.. 13.95 for the small ones. They called them whiskey glasses.

[@cheriwhitley8385]

Kensley says..ugh mom..where is the one for me??..has your mom always painted? Does she use oils or acrylics? My mom painted while I was growing up.I have some of her landscapes she did b4 she died.I cherish them.I love thrifting with ya;ll..did your mom get that branch?? I was having a fit ..I wanted that!!! Lol..

[@mariahalmazan1667]

I love you girl!! Quick tip: If you flip your knife upside down (so the non sharp side) when you’re scraping ingredients off of cutting boards, etc. it helps keep your knife sharper and in better health longer. 😘❤️ I love watching videos with you and your mom. Me and mine don’t have the closest relationship so I live through y’all!!! Thank you for all the hard work you put in 😊
