Thrifting Thursday’s Thrift Haul - Vintage Repurposed & Resale

[@jimmyraysorrells8415]

You can drive a thin piece of rebar in to your garden and set that candelabra right on top of it. Safe and secure.

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Oh that’s a great idea! Thank you Jimmy Ray! 😊

[@denisesouth199]

I watch Ginger Chick Rehab and she uses a lot of the techniques you do but she also uses Patina sprays in blues and greens and they chemically react to make rusty crusty amazing I think they are Dixie Belle

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

I’ll have to look into that. Thanks Denise!

[@ruthfitzwater-cn3vc]

Keep the candelabra top for your garden! Garden art is so special. You could put candles or small terracotta pots-the holes in the bottom would fit over the metal prongs. I have used long, metal curtain rods and pounded one end into the ground and the stem of the candelabra should slide down into the rod. Wow, what a great haul! You have a great bins.

[@terrihart2133]

It adds so much to a garden.

[@mistyb8434]

Hello Sonnet, I had to stop the video to answer your questions lol 😂😊 The board with the screws on top is for note paper. My mom had one on the wall in the kitchen for our grocery list. 😃 Also, the lantern with the fairy lights is an outdoor solar light. It’s missing a plastic fake bulb that the fairy lights go into. I have one myself. If you can find a plastic fake bulb with threading on the top, you can put the fairy lights inside of that and screw it in and hang it on a shepherds hook outside. It’s very pretty.❤ I hope that helps! 😁🫶🏼 Edit- lol 😂 as I’m watching I’m answering your questions 😊 Yes, it’s for loose tea. The metal hanging acorn shape with a chain. For the picnic basket handle, drill a small hole on either side of the broke part. Add a fun piece of old vintage or rusty metal with some small screws and washer. The same idea people do with cutting boards when they have a crack. ☺️😉 Paint the radio too!! 😂👏🏼🩷

[@joaniekurpik5280]

Sonnet please keep that vintage flour sifter with the turquoise handles! If it brings you , you need it!!!😁

[@joaniekurpik5280]

My comment i wanted to say..if it brings you JOY you should keep it!

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Wow! Thank you so much for the answers! 😂

[@lorraineophoff4984]

Fun to watch how excited you get about your hauls!

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

I can’t help it! There are so many great things out there!!!😊

[@aliciawilliams2996]

What great finds! That brass lamp at the end was so good! ❤

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

I know! I just love it!! 😊

[@JaneNapieralski]

I love the way your creativity pops out as you go thru the treasures you find

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Thank you Jane! 😊

[@sonjaholder4930]

Primitive was the word you were thinking of to describe the plate. Dixie Belle has a patina spray and paint product to do patinas. I believe it was a nut bowl. The wood piece was probably a note pad holder for lists. The knobs would also be cute feet for a riser. Love the metal candle holder. My husband cut a piece of PVC pipe at an angle on one end and drove it into the ground to help hold a wind spinner that was constantly falling over after the bottom started rusting away. As someone else mentioned, it would be cute with small terracotta pots as well. Those little metal balls are for tea. My mom had a colander like the one that you found that i inherited. Love the letterpress tray, heart shaped pan and the baskets. So many amazing finds. I never find such incredible things at our regular Goodwill stores and we don't have a bins store close by. I love all of your videos!

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Thank you so much for describing my finds! I had an amazing day at the Bins. Some days are good and some days aren’t, but today was definitely a good day!😊

[@forthehaulofit]

NICE HAUL! I would agree with all your comments about what things are (nutcracker barrel, tea infusers, wooden note pad holder)

[@susanhaggart3675]

Keep the candle holder for your garden. You disserve to keep some things. You work so hard. KEEP IT!!!!!!

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

😂 thanks Susan.

[@ruthfitzwater-cn3vc]

Thank you, Sonnet, for taking the time to answer just about every single comment!! That must have taken a long time.

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

You’re welcome Ruth. I love being able to connect with my audience! ❤

[@Lin-s6e]

You could probably use some of your leather belts for handles on your baskets as well

[@sylvialangworthy1435]

Oh my goodness Sonnet, what an amazing haul! You found so many awesome treasures! Love so many of them! Just Wow! 🤗

[@thechickincharge1073]

SO many amazing things and great potential, which I can’t wait to see!!❤️

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Thank you! 😊

[@catherinewhitman8333]

Fill cups with items that are related to mug ....like Chocolate and mint candies, hot cocoa etc....packers mug include Packers memorabilia ir a hat with that logo on it, cup with woman on it fill with spa like items to make them feel younger or refreshed like a new woman! 😂

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Love this! 😊

[@catherinewhitman8333]

@@SonnetsGardenBlooms Awww Thank you...that was so sweet of you!!! 💓

[@midgethorn4083]

The yarn is hanked. The next step is using a swift and ball winder to get the yarn ready to use. Sonnet, you are so fun and funny. Cannot believe you found a bolt of fabric! I would have snagged it, too!

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

😂 Thank you Midge!

[@mossycreekdesigns2]

That metal candelabra would be fabulous in the flower garden! Keep it! The wood board with screws is definitely for note pad.

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Thank you for your vote Misty! 😊

[@cherylstark99]

Paint the old radio and add transfers. Awesome.

[@terrihart2133]

Sheep primitive. I would try it with the black basket. Maybe put a sheep with it.

[@sparkofvintage]

Awesome haul!!! So many treasures ❤❤

[@cassfonnesbeck8057]

Dixie bell has a rustng product. Ginger chick rehab uses it.

[@lizbrown9553]

ADORABLE ITEMS AND YOU ARE SO DELIGHTFUL TO LISTEN TO AND WATCH ❤❤❤ I just watched Julie and she got a whole wooden bowl of fruit that she bought for the bowl only but doesn’t want the GORGEOUS FRUIT…..Maybe she’ll Donate to your FRUIT LOVE

[@cherylwilson8571]

I agree on the nut cracker barrel. An ice cream one is much taller and has a slot across the top where the " churn" sat. Plus it had a drainage hole in the side for the water from the melting ice to go. ( you put ice around the " churn bucket) to make ice cream

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

That definitely makes more sense! Thanks Cheryl. 😊

[@patriciakumar115]

The two little alike items are definitely used to steep tea. They're great for making Christmas ornaments by stringing clear beads and/or pearls through the holes, which then resembles a chandelier. They're very sweet.

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Love that idea Patricia!😊

[@senyagwynn8121]

Sonnet, keep that candelabra!!! It would be perfect in your garden!!!🩷🩷 I also have several of those Pampered Chef little serving thingys!! That wooden cat is so cute!!😻 Lol....Tfs all your great finds!!

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

I am very tempted to keep it for myself. 😊 I do think it would be a beautiful piece out in the garden.

[@Yachtnurse51]

I think the ice cream bucket center is for the actual churning handle🤓

[@deemanolaros6036]

Try bleaching the basket with the faded pattern. See what happens. You can always paint it and put a mold or transfer on it.

[@cherylwilson8571]

The Mirro cookie press makes really good cookies!!!

[@melonmahfood2439]

Wow, what a great haul!

[@debkincaid2891]

Lotsa yummy stuff. Thanks for sharing ~ 😊

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

It was a great day at the Bins! 😊

[@suegagas]

I use Dixie Bell Patina paint and activator sprays for a rust finish and it is AMAZING! I purchased mine from Piglets Closet as she is a fellow Wisconsinite. Love this product

[@user-dn9vd9xg9p]

The pewter booters are actually used to help put on boots.

[@SparksofJoyStudio]

I love the brass letter signs!! ❤

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Me too! 😊

[@marciamerryman3587]

Keep the beautiful candle stand for your garden! Paint the basket. Love the things you find!

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

I am leaning towards keeping it for my garden. 😊

[@sandianderson1500]

"You can never have too many of these....I guess you could have too many." You are so cute! Keep the candle holder for your garden. The little medal pieces are tea balls for loose leaf tea. You found so many amazing things. I hope you can do more shorter videos on You Tube. As much as I love watching you, Sonnet, I never have 2 hours in my busy day to spare.

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

I completely understand Sandi. I will be putting out more short content soon! 😊

[@sungleska]

So fun!!

[@nancycrippen2349]

Sonnet, Dixie belle's Patina paints and patina sprays work together to make things look rusty and crusty .

[@muslinandmorris]

😂😂😂😂😂😂. Omygosh- THANK YOU for the giggles to start my day!

[@terrihart2133]

Your actions with the mug has me laughing so hard. Lily Vernon was a catalog in the mid to late 80's. Cute items. Great haul.

[@CarolynGilligan]

Lillian Vernon merchandise can still be found on Amazon. I bought three personalized Christmas stockings last year. I used to love those catalogs

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

😂

[@terryfraser3395]

Keep the big candle for your garden! It’s beautiful. Stick it in the garden with little herb pots where the candles would go.

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

That would be so cute Terry! 😊

[@nancychannel8513]

The basket with the faded blue, you might consider putting a piece of drop cloth around the center and just a few pieces of transfer

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

That would be cute Nancy!😊

[@nancychannel8513]

I agree with you to paint the top of this little stool

[@katiewhiston5864]

On the basket with the broken handle, you can get flat strips of wood. you could put a smaller width on both handles.

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Thank you for the idea Katie! 😊

[@rbrunettemeans]

It's awesome how much you appreciate each item! Thanks for the inspiration!

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Thank you Ruth! 😊

[@susanannette5758]

Hi Sonnet, I don’t think the leather tool holder for a belt is for a carpenter’s tape measure or etc. It’s to hold a beer (or some kind of beverage can) so the user can have their hands free to fish or whatever….but probably fish since that’s what’s depicted on it. IMO.

[@countrygirlgramma]

Yes they are for Tea.

[@cindyblumenthal8315]

Hanging Notes in the Kitchen.. grocery list. My mom had one. I am 64. Yes those are for loose tea.

[@thethriftyanemone]

You need to save the muscle man mug and casually give it to a guest when they ask for coffee 😄

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

That would be hilarious! 😂

[@janettespiers4242]

Great haul

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Thank you Janette! 😊

[@susanfischbach6284]

So many neat treasures! I'd leave the black basket alone, put some red berries in it, and put it for sale next to the picture shown prior to the basket. The picture has red berries on it. Also, and idea to repurpose the leather tape measure holder: putting a nest or spring flower arrangement in it, maybe whitewash the leather?

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Love these ideas!😊

[@bridfeeney7428]

That lantern looked to me like it had a solar panel on the top

[@peg1ster]

the challis pewter thing is a candle stick, flip it over, the other things are to keep in shoes, , stretchers

[@joystone6460]

I could see you making a black grouping in one of your booths with what you did on your live and the black basket. Could also group your pewter and aluminum together. That watering can with the hat reminded me of "Sonnet's Garden". That large candle holder, could you use rebar in the bottom of it? What a great haul! Lots of items you can just price and sell.

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

It was a great haul for sure! 😊

[@loripowell7654]

I buy every feather pillow at the thrift store I can find & replace all my cheap pillow inserts

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Me too! That’s the easiest and most inexpensive way to get a high end pillow! 😊

[@hogwashgems968]

I was there on Saturday and saw a couple more of those brass chicken napkin rings! I left them and instantly regretted it.

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Oh man!

[@AshleighBlair1]

I would keep the candelabra for your garden put it on a peice of rebar you can pound it into the dirt and it will be as sturdy as can be.

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Love this idea! 😊

[@user-dn9vd9xg9p]

The expandable wooden items were used to hang cups, hats, jewelry. They can be seen hanging on walls in old westerns, esp in old hotels in westerns.

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

I love the diversity of those! You can do so many things with them and hang decor or even functional items from them!

[@katiewhiston5864]

Dixie Belle has patina paint and spray that will give you the rust you want on the nut bowl with the 2 bands.

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Thank you! 😊

[@cherylwilson8571]

The holster...that you think is a carpenter's thingy, is actually a fish pole holder! I wouldn't cut it up! But that's just me. The fish on it is a Dra d give away lol!

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Oh my gosh! 😂 that makes more sense!

[@jonispruit8877]

Paint the stool and try a paint inlay on it. Because I have not seen anyone do a paint inlay on a furniture fabric piece. Do something with the black basket. It’s a Longaberger bread basket that someone spray painted black. Do a transfer on it. Those measuring spoons are pioneer women. I actually have those. lol I also have those silver tea ball containers. They’re very vintage! I have had mine for more than 30 years. And they were vintage then. ❤ the cheese box, paint those blue hearts trim yellow. Then put the sunflower transfers on the wood tone natural. I love the wood grain on it. Don’t paint that and or cover it up with decoupage paper.

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

All great ideas Joni! 😊

[@rachellarsen939]

Wow, you always find the best stuff!! What is the wood thing you thought was a picture, but when you turned it over it had little shelves? Is that what it is to display something? I'm so interested in what you do with it ❤

[@ruthfitzwater-cn3vc]

You could add/replace the feet on those old colanders with small thread spools or little spindles. Screw through the holes in the bottom or use heavy duty glue.

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Cute idea!😊

[@alveres9680]

The tape measure holder leather! Is a beer bottle holder for your belt!

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

😂 that’s an interesting idea!

[@susanfischbach6284]

Also, I'd love to buy the old radio from you (not sure if you ever do that), but it would be a perfect gift for my son who was born, July 1988!

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Susan, if you are really interested in buying the old radio you can email me at: [e-mail] and we can figure something out! 😊

[@cherylwilson8571]

So I definitely want to see what you do with these items!!! I'm excited. Where are you? I'm in Florida.

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

I’m in Appleton, Wisconsin. 😊

[@Yachtnurse51]

Shoe trees for boots to keep them from flopping over😉

[@MsJet1]

Watch Ginger chick rehab. She makes things rusty with products you can find.

[@susanhaggart3675]

Oh ok does anyone else see the orbs floating around in her video? I guess that is what it loolks like to me.

[@jeanettehammons2318]

Yes, there are floaters.

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

It’s just the dust from the items. 😂 My camera picks them up.

[@ruthfitzwater-cn3vc]

Yes I see them in this one and others. They zoom around.

[@kimtaft619]

I would like to see what you do with the printers tray (if anything). They are hard to find and the authentic ones are pricey. I have one and will never part with it. I think you had some wood clothespins and am very interested in what you do with them. As I was cleaning out my craft area, I came across some. (Forgot I had them!)

[@kellymattson2102]

Sonnet what about covering that stool with that beautiful fabric.

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

That’s a great idea Kelly! 😊

[@debmchale2568]

with all the belts that you have you could offer a cuff class for people to take

[@AshleighBlair1]

For the wood bowl use tung oil it will be like new

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Thank you Ashleigh! 😊

[@Yachtnurse51]

They’re called “tea balls” to brew tea🥹

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Thank you Irene! 😊

[@youfounduswi]

Hope your internet install goes better than mine. They were here for six hours and ended up screwing things up so much that they knocked us off all services, and told us to get hooked back up with our old provider until they can get the new cable at the box outside attached. LOL on the stud muffin mug! Those wood pieces might come in handy. Make a napkin holder?

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Oh geez Pat. I feel your pain on the internet issues. It’s so frustrating!

[@youfounduswi]

@@SonnetsGardenBlooms The S company came through our rural area with fiber optic and a much cheaper deal than our existing service. The problem with the first appointment was that no one had checked to see that the box out by the road was prepped and ready. That required an entirely different crew. All hooked up and working now so we don’t have to resort to smoke signals! I feel for you, because of your business. Yikes! Go to moms and film?

[@Yachtnurse51]

A printers box!!! For miniature collections!!!

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Awesome! 😊

[@ruthfitzwater-cn3vc]

Those are tea strainers for making a pot of tea.

[@jonimosteller8946]

cinnamon and black paint . While it’s wet put on the C we’re you want rust.

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Ooo and it probably smells great too! 😊

[@sarahrenfrow9795]

You were so excited about the printer’s tray, so I am wondering what you are going to do with it. I am only asking because I have one that came from a printing company that closed here in this small town I live in. It’s in a closet. I have heard you say that you don’t read your comments, so this is the first time in over a year I have commented. I guess I won’t get an answer, but I would like to do something with mine, if possible. I tried using it for a shadow box, but the spaces are so small you can find very little that will fit in it.

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

I read all my comments!! I think you may have misheard me. I was having a hard time responding to all of them. I’m going to display it in my studio and fill some of the nooks with my dearest treasures. ❤️

[@ruthfitzwater-cn3vc]

Sarah, I’ve seen some where some of the dividers have been carefully cut out to make larger spaces for various treasures. You could “age” the new cuts with watered down brown paint or antiquing stain. I need to do this with two that are in my basement!

[@deemanolaros6036]

Is that leather thing is for holding your fishing rod? Loop your belt through it?

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Oh! I bet it is!! 😊

[@cindyhunter2582]

Good haul , paint the radio black and distress

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Thank you for the idea Cindy! 😊

[@jackierespass9774]

You need to buckle down and make some cuffs with those belts 😁

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

😂 Love that Jackie!

[@ruthfitzwater-cn3vc]

Buckle down-lol-no pun intended?

[@silviafasbender5893]

[@maryellenhilli2343]

Most likely, the wood is a fence picket. They are inexpensive, and they have that rough texture.

[@Martbez1]

Great finds! I'm looking forward to a Thrift to Treasure video like you used to do - not live. Showing flipping at least 5 projects, will be wonderful! 😊 Am I "greedy"? Maybe... But since I started watching your channel, I always couldn't wait for your next video to be posted, but lately that format from you is few and far in between - is that even the right saying? ❤

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

I’ve been trying to add different kinds of videos. I do have a Thrift to Treasure coming up soon! 😊
