Thrift Haul: Using My New Thrifted Items Around My House

[@SweetAndSimpleHome]

Hi everyone! I love sharing what I find secondhand with you all. I don't always have time to share where the things I found are being used-- so this video has both the haul and the show and tell of where I'm using everything! I hope you enjoy! :)

[@hellocoffeejournals1945]

I love this type of video! I love the hauls too, but it's extra cool when you show how you're using things.

[@SweetAndSimpleHome]

I'm so glad! I like to see videos like this too-- sometimes I just don't know yet where I'm going to put things when I share the haul. This time, I had the ideas and the time! :)

[@bst1357]

The flowering tree in your backyard is absolutely divine! 🥰💮🥰 I love using clippings of trees and shrubs as house decor. Great finds in your haul. 👍🙂

[@SweetAndSimpleHome]

I love this tree so much! 🥰

[@barbstormo7030]

Love the haul! The journal....no words except I would have bought that too!!! I love how you show how you are using the things you purchase! Have an awesome weekend!

[@SweetAndSimpleHome]

Isn't it fun? Such a neat find. 😊

[@trinaroe5132]

If the shelves are tall for you ADJUST them! It looks like you have room to move the coffee mugs shelf down at least 2 notches and still have room above the glasses. When you get new glasses look for ones that are wider and shorter. Benefit of that is their center of gravity is lower so less tipping drinks over. Adjust the coffee mug shelf down and you’ll be able to reach the mugs easier AND have room to move the top shelf down too, making everything easier for you to reach.

[@kerryborst8764]

Love watching your decor and storage ideas. I am so pleased you're back! God bless!

[@SweetAndSimpleHome]

Thank you so much! 🥰

[@StoneCottageHome]

Enjoyed the video.....your flowering plum is simply gorgeous. You house is slowly coming together and becoming your family's home. Love it and glad you are enjoying your new surroundings.

[@SweetAndSimpleHome]

Thank you! We are very grateful to be here. ❤️

[@cdcVintage]

Great things you scored! I got a used/clean microwave (on fb market) for 20.00. It was missing the triple wheel balance for under the turntable but the one from my old microwave fit perfect. This microwave is currently on walmart for 179.00. And it works great yaaay!

[@SweetAndSimpleHome]

Yay! Excellent deal! 😊

[@Patricia-168]

You are so cute! I love how you are slowly building up your book collection. I also love old books. 📚 Good ideas for organizing!!

[@SweetAndSimpleHome]

Thank you! I found some more book treasures out today! I'm hoping to share those soon. 👏

[@thechickincharge1073]

I have about 10 of those books found at thrift stores and estate sales and I love them. That tree outside of your window is spectacular. I would be staring out the window all day, heehee!

[@SweetAndSimpleHome]

I'm so glad you have a collection of these books too! And yes, I am often staring out that window. 😊

[@lynnehampton1777]

Hi Rachel. The flowering tree is gorgeous. I love bringing flowers in the house. You are so organized. I always enjoy watching your hauls. The journal you found for your daughter is so pretty Also love the color of the mug. Thanks for sharing another video. Take care. God Bless.

[@SweetAndSimpleHome]

Thank you so much! I'm really enjoying this flowering tree! 😍

[@elycevwestby1521]

I have the same plum tree! Actually, I have a row of them. :) You have inspired me to go cut some for an arrangement. :) Thanks for the peaceful video!

[@SweetAndSimpleHome]

Oh wonderful! How lovely to have a row of them!

[@Mary-pw1ki]

Wonderful, lovely video. The beginning with the dogwood tree blooming was beautiful, it brought joyful tears to my eyes.

[@Mary-pw1ki]

Oops, not dogwood I guess. 🥴

[@SweetAndSimpleHome]

I'm so glad this brought you joy. 🥰

[@strawberrysky21]

I love seeing where you use the items in your home!

[@SweetAndSimpleHome]

I'm so glad you enjoyed this! 😊

[@sugarandspice8497]

Thanks for sharing. I love seeing what you picked up and how you use it.

[@mjmc4me]

Love the idea of the ribbon and lace for gift wrapping. I would love to see an example of how you use them.

[@dianepedersen8651]

Perhaps you could move the shelf down a few holes to make reaching the mugs a little easier for you.

[@sherrykahn2474]

Hi Rebecca!I think you are so sweet

[@justjohanna7]

I’m so glad you’re back! Always love seeing your videos :)

[@SweetAndSimpleHome]

Aw, thank you so much! 🥰

[@mariedamon5655]

Great video thank you.x

[@bethanyhall1524]

TJ Maxx or Marshalls has great prices on drinking glass sets. I have converted to jars because the glasses were breaking too frequently and our jars seem to never break. But I used to buy my sets at TJ Maxx. They are very affordable there. I'm so glad you're back to making videos. I've missed your content. One time my mom was visiting and I was watching one of your videos and she said you sounded just like me. I was so flattered because I think you have a peaceful, soothing voice.🌷

[@SweetAndSimpleHome]

Oh that's so sweet! 😊

[@sherrykahn2474]

and refreshing!!Nice haul!!You seem to be a smart and great shopper!!I am enjoying your videos!!"Happy Spring!'😁🌷🦋

[@SweetAndSimpleHome]

Thank you! Happy Spring to you too! 😊

[@kerrykuss642]

You inspired me with the use idea for the sewing trims. I always think I need to save them for sewing projects, especially the vintage stuff. But, I love the idea of using rick-rack on gifts. I have a whole box of it. Thanks, one of my next gift projects will be tied with rick-rack!

[@SweetAndSimpleHome]

Oh wonderful! Tic-tac is SO cute on packages! Happy wrapping!

[@donnapostlewait8141]

Your flowering tree is so very beautiful! Thank you for sharing. Your haul is so much fun. Great finds and good organizing tips. So glad to hear that your gaughter is still a Jane Austin fan. You look lovely in your new dress. Thank you for this wonderful video. See you next time.❤❤

[@SweetAndSimpleHome]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@mikki3961]

Rachel you should display that packaging of rick rack it is so pretty. Tuck it in a flower frog or a clip. Ribbon too, make some bows and display it. Beautiful!

[@SweetAndSimpleHome]

I enjoy using and displaying all the cute ribbons and lace. 😊

[@chlexiel.1022]

Happy You returned to KZbin Rachel ~ I am enjoying seeing Your Videos again ~ Love The Blossom 🌸 The ruffled white ribbon would make lovely roses ~ A running stitch along one side of the ribbon then pull and gather to create the flower ~The notebook cover reminds me of sprinkles so cute ~ Take Care x ( Please say Hello to Lizzy for Me 🌻)

[@SweetAndSimpleHome]

What a fun idea! I will try that!

[@trinaroe5132]

I never knew Fruit of the Loom ever made sewing notions!!! Great haul!!! I also have some white ruffled ribbon like that. I bought it for a project I’ve never made and think I’m going to use it for an upcoming wedding. I think I have a couple of those Classics Club books too.

[@SweetAndSimpleHome]

I'm glad this gave you some ideas! 😊

[@fimoize]

Your dress looks great. That tree in your garden.....wow!!🇮🇪☘

[@SweetAndSimpleHome]

I do love this tree! 😍🥰

[@danabrown1157]

Rachel you have such a glow when talk about and show your thrift finds! You seem to really be happy in your new home! You're so good at finding such good things at thrift stores and garage sales! I LOVE baskets so if you see any unique ones that I might like, send them my way! 🙂

[@SweetAndSimpleHome]

We are very happy in our new home and surroundings. 😊 Baskets are always fun to look for!

[@AJones-xo3jg]

Rachel, you are so smart to shop ahead!

[@SweetAndSimpleHome]

Yes! I am blessed with many nieces and nephews as well as my own kiddos -- planning ahead helps me make it work. 😅😊

[@lexielue1063]

Hello Hillary, I also use clippings off of my dogwood tree. The dress is really pretty, looks good on you. I also have a household hints book, mine is from my grandma. Is your daughter's room still decorated in Jane Austin theme? You have a blessed day. Linda 😆 💕 💕 👋

[@joycepainter7262]

Her name is Rachel 🤔

[@SweetAndSimpleHome]

Dogwoods are lovely too! 🥰 My daughter still loves the stories and music of the Jane Austen era for sure! Her style has changed a bit now. 😊

[@lexielue1063]

I do realize that, that was my mistake. I also watch Old World Home, her name is Hillary. Rachel watches her also, she will forgive me.
