Thank you so much for sharing your thrifting and make over videos. Your makeovers are simple, inexpensive but oh so have the touch of class. It’s awesome to have someone like yourself who has so many wonderful ideas and shares them with us. I always feel after watching one of your videos that I can take an item and with a few simple touches create beauty. Thank you also for being so honest and forthright about your family, your self and how you cope with everyday life. It gives inspiration and hope to all. To teach the wonderful fact that we don’t have to be rich to have a beautiful home. Beauty is all around us, all we need to create it is a bit of love, some elbow grease and eye to see worth in all things.

Hi!

[@vickieking5831]

So glad your sale is going well. I think that little basket with the wire and wood handle sitting on the floor would look so pretty with some real-looking apples in it. It reminds me of fall. I've seen some resellers pick up bags of real-looking fruit and veggies at Goodwill. Closer to Christmas, maybe some pinecones and plaid ribbon. This is giving me some ideas for my own home. LOL. Love the orange-colored tree, too. I'm a huge fan of your channel.

Enjoyed learning your selling philosophy. It is honest and fair. Renders your buyers a good deal; and you a decent enough overhead to make profits. If we lived anywhere near your booth, I'd be a regular shopper. Stopped going to antique malls years ago in favor of thrift stores, because their prices always seemed to be borderline ridiculous. Teaching your kids the nature of business is very cool and useful as well. Your plate is full to overflowing, Cory; and you're managing it with aplomb. :) . RESPECT. :)

Thank you Karen! I also stopped shopping at antique malls a long time ago. It's like shopping at a high end furniture store price wise. I don't know how they stay in business
