Thrift Shopping for Christmas on the First Sunday of Advent 2022 with ARNE & CARLOS

[@Ntagati]

How appropriate that you lit the Advent candle for Joy today ... the look on Arne's face expressed sheer joy when he found the musical snowglobe. Thanks for taking us with you. XXXX

[@cheryljenkins9823]

I love that Arne wants the one that holds the most cookies.

[@joancleans2184]

I’m sorry that 99 people missed the opportunity to send you both Christmas wishes in a card. I wish you both good tidings, happiness and health in the new year. Sincerely.

[@dianalindsay804]

First Advent Candle - Hope. Second Advent Candle - Love. Third Advent Candle - Joy. Fourth Advent Candle - Peace Enjoy the Holy season which is here.

[@denisewessman1079]

Thrift shopping is a most at the holiday season. Nothing better than a vintage Christmas mug for your holiday beverage, peppermint mocha!!!!!

[@blasebaker]

Love your sweater Arne. Thank you for taking us along with you.

[@annemack3357]

Thank you for taking me l did enjoy very much . Take care now . 🦋💐💐

[@rosemarygilman8718]

I'm with you Carlos. The color pink is fabulous!

[@cheryldeville9211]

You've definitely put me in the Christmas mood! 🌲❤ I can't believe that you find your Christmas balls in all the thrift shops you visit! Who would give away such beautiful knitted balls?! 😲 In North America we talk about "the thrill of the hunt" looking through the ugly stuff and delighting in finding a treasure! You've certainly found some great treasures! I love the Christmas tree stands that you discovered and that pink cookie tin is gorgeous. Looking forward to the next video during this season of Advent. Much love, Cheryl

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you Cheryl!

[@julbea]

I think I’ll watch this every year to get in the Christmas spirit

[@karinvaleri7130]

I also recycle my cards, some too beautiful to discard. Being 1st generation Canadian my Norsk parents taught us everything Norwegian. I found straw ornaments at thrift store Luke 15 for 2.! Made into a wreath. My woodcarving hubby made Nisses this Xmas.. and now everyone wants them. My dad made Nisse ornaments and the Swedish horses with ROSEmaling on them. I live the 3 tired tin for gift giving!love groggy. My grandmother and mom embroidered Christmas linen table cloths with the stave church, bells, einter scene and table cloths . Krumkake making today. Test batch all for me lol. God Jul u 2!!

[@deborahlee4941]

The look on Arne's face when he can't carry any more...priceless!

[@barbarajanerobinson1428]

The guess I have on the tray is a beautiful picture of the VW Beetle with a 🎄 tied to the top remembering the fairytale based on a true story of the "VW Beetle and the Two Princes in search of the Christmas 🎄."

[@hhall3533]

Love that stitching book Arne found! I love to decorate with Norwegian decorations. I cross stitched a table runner that I purchased in Norway when I was on a trip there years ago. LOVE that candleholder.

[@ARNECARLOS]

❤️

[@alexastirling4385]

The straw garlands were lovely. Thank you for sharing your thrift shopping with us.

[@James-k3z7f]

I❤ it when y’all go THRIFTING !! ❤❤❤❤.

[@mywoolmitten]

"a lot of things that are plain ugly..." I laughed so hard Carlos - it's so true! For all the treasures, there's also not so much lol! Thank you for taking us Christmas thrifting (and that pink cookie tin is fabulous 😍)

[@LizStevens-o6v]

Getting in the spirit now - Dec 2/23

[@carlenehall2979]

🤗 So many interesting things to see! I love the pink tin!🎄

[@amandamurray299]

I love the snow globe and love the pink cookie tin. I like the traditional looking tins the best.

[@taniabishop]

Loved this episode! Arne’s face lit up when he saw the snow globe and played the music and Carlos’s face lit up when he saw the pink cookie tin.

[@ARNECARLOS]

We are glad you liked it!

[@karenaskinas1135]

These thrift shops are amazing!

[@gailmcelheny9593]

Perhaps you could find two slim pieces of wood and a crimping tool to close the gap in the pink cookie tin. I wish you a warm and joyful Christmas season❤

[@ARNECARLOS]

That is a good idea Gail!

[@AidaBoza]

Aida Boza . Thank you Arne and Carlos loved your thrift Christmas shopping ❤

[@iChillypepper]

“I love everything that is shiny!” - same Arne, same 😅😂

[@kathieklee3903]

May you be blessed with a holy and happy Advent season. On Thanksgiving Day, last Thursday, one of the things I was so thankful for, is having you (Freya included!) in my life.

[@ARNECARLOS]

❤️😊

[@debs4520]

It's raining in the Bay Area, so I am sitting here enjoying my coffee and watching you find all the goodies that become your treasures. This put a smile on my face. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Stay safe from the rain!

[@suedale1865]

Oh my you are both brilliant at Thrift shopping in a magical thrift shop I look forward to seeing the corn dollies garlands & stag & battery candles in your 7 candle holder

[@ARNECARLOS]

😊

[@antoinettemccollum729]

I'm excited now......

[@sandrazboinski6473]

Christmas cards are a tradition that I enjoy. I belong to two on line book groups and participate in their exchange plus family and friends. Merry and Blessed Christmas season.

[@toniprutch8956]

Carlos, pink is my favorite color too!

[@zornjunctionyarncoyarn3259]

Love the thrift shopping for Christmas

[@lizcollins7716]

Very interesting guys! Invest in long length matches & spare your fingers!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Will do!

[@noidlehands2019]

Thank you for sharing. I always enjoy seeing other cultures and the their celebrations. Thank you for all of the episodes in December. I have all your Christmas ball patterns.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you for joining us for the Christmas fun!

[@katewhyte6274]

We have a tradition of woven straw items like the lovely garland, here in UK called 'Corn Dollies' . Really nice to watch you browsing and finding treasures. When we were children we used to light a candle for the four Advent Sundays, not sure why we dont now though, its a nice idea.

[@carolmeyer4461]

You rescued my Christmas! A grateful thank you.

[@davidheia8244]

Fun! Our family Christmas celebrations have always been a mix of Norwegian, Danish and Swedish food and decorations!

[@jenniferjohnson9335]

Silly folks--there is no Advent goodie on 25 December because that's when you get all the gifts! You guys are so funny in the shop! Arne eying the tinsel and Carlos hunting for treasures is just Advent gold! Thank you for sharing with us!

[@cathyfield4765]

Bless you this Advent. I have always enjoyed the Advent videos, thank you.

[@alexandrarebelcrafter9328]

I LOVE THE PINK BOX❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@jenaton5767]

Lovely shopping trip

[@kdunlap3289]

You can make different outfits for the little elves on the warp thread stand for the different seasons. They don't have to stay Christmas-y all year.

[@donnastubbs9525]

This was so much fun! Thank you for taking us shopping with you.

[@skihouse5757]

That was so interesting, I love learning about your heritage.

[@cherikappenman8668]

Love when you go thrift shopping! My husband and myself spent the month of July in Sandefjord. Couldn’t believe the thrift stores! They were wonderful. Couldn’t believe the pine furniture and the reasonable prices. So hard to contain myself but got my purchases all home. God July to you both

[@copperhousefarm4794]

I wanted the orange coffee cups with the reindeer on them. 😀

[@wendyhansen3223]

I think you have better thrift stores than we do in the USA. I love your candle lighting tradition.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@sandra-xp4mk]

That was so much fun and I'm glad you purchased the straw garland, that was my favorite.🙂🙂

[@gilliantangen3717]

I love going thrift shopping with you both ❤❤❤

[@michelel3372]

I'm surprised about the lack of cards that you received. I still about 150 each year. I LOVE mail!! This thrift shopping was great fun, thank you for sharing. Safe travels! ❤

[@lindachism7775]

Oh, what fun. Wait, I see a pair of old double blade ice skates. I had a pair just left me that when I was little. Everywhere you look, so many treasures. Thank you for take not us shopping with you. I loved this! 🎉❤❤😊

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you for watching Linda!

[@Serenity-fu8xz]

Oh my goodness I love both of you guys so much you make me smile. Oh I can’t get enough of you guys. Thank you so much for all these incredibly awesome episodes.

[@miabagley2202]

So enjoyed this episode and the glimpse of what Christmas time looks like in Norway.

[@dianajohnson83]

It's correct to support charity @ Christmas so thrift shopping is a perfect fit

[@jsparklies]

Arne, you are such a diplomat! Take the pink one! All the while, he is really not liking your choice of tins! LOL Maybe you should shop together, separately ,and show each other what you bought after you leave the store. That way, everybody is happy with what they've purchased. Mind you, I did really like the pink tin! It's one I would have chosen as well, Carlos! ❤🎅

[@marciafarrell1180]

Thank you, both, for your lovely videos and for sharing your holiday traditions. This year is a bit difficult because I lost my mom to pancreatic cancer in June, but your videos help bring a little joy into the season. Thank you.

[@salliehogancamp998]

I love the straw garland

[@Appledoatz]

Love sharing the holidays with you!

[@annee4193]

What a joy-filled First Sunday of Advent you both shared with us as you thrift-shopped 💖

[@victoriasmith9334]

Loved the thrift shopping. We have lots of charity shops over here in Northern England. Great for sidfitng through lots of junk to find our treasures. I do have to say though... I loved the Christmas cookie tins that Arne selected. They would have been coming home with me!!!

[@eileensecrest2185]

I am so glad you took those straw pieces. They obviously were woven by someone very talented. Thanks for the shopping tour, I just love your thrift store visits!

[@mistyblue5312]

This was so fun. I think u have really nice thrift shops in ur area.

[@ARNECARLOS]

We are lucky that way!

[@carmenmarialinne2650]

The pink must be Vintage for sure like 1950!

[@annee4193]

Oh yes, the PINK cake tin to remind you of the year you went PINK 💕

[@ARNECARLOS]

True!

[@kimg5784]

Thank you- So fun!

[@sandykoenig1666]

This was fun, watching you guys thrift. Here in America we love to thrift also for Christmas decorations.

[@carolinestagg6807]

I've ENJOYED this posting !!!

[@audreyabbott7806]

A wonderful way to spend part of the first Sunday of Advent - thrift shopping with handsome men in red flannel! Looking forward to another beautiful season with you both!

[@t.k3025]

Oh geez. Now I have to go to a thrift shop. I did just go to church bazaar and got some sewing goodies. You are fun, but remember to let a few things go, to let a few things in!

[@orapronobis2149]

November 27 2022: I am so loving your paiinting on the door. As always I enjoy your podcasts/video’s. I am so happy that you are thrift shopping while I spend time also doing some Advent crochet socks. I am working on your Advent Christmas Ball. I see a bit of Santa collection. A dear friend of mine passed away on Thanksgiving Day of this year. Years ago and every year for Christmas she gave me Santa’s. She was not aware of the collection until I posted it one year. Its sad a happy that I will have this memory of her every year. Arne is such a finder with magazines.

[@bluegrassdreams2seams510]

I love learning morning about Norwegian culture! If I was traveling, I’m the one that want to be among the people, eating at local mom and pop’s, looking for artist’s shops, visiting the yarn and fabric stores, and a little tourist attractions. Seeing the ornaments reminds me of one’s my mom gave me one Christmas that hung on my childhood tree and now hang on mine🥰 Happy Advent! Cheryl

[@phyllisogis129]

Lovely to see the sun shining in as you browse through the thrift shop. Happy first Sunday in Advent 🌞🎶

[@chrislindberg3996]

Thank you for taking us along!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you for joining!

[@jeanetteferguson7079]

Thank you both I enjoyed shopping with you.🌼⛄️

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you for joining us!

[@123uschie]

Joy to you both ❤

[@lisas7025]

Thank you for taking us along to the thrift shop with you. I love the look on Arne's face when he has his hands full of treasures that he found. I like the Norwegian decorations and colours. I like more of the homemade kind of items when it comes to decorations and not so much of the tacky more modern stuff.

[@ARNECARLOS]

😊👍🏻❤️

[@k.schwenky1745]

Here in Germany we have also decorations out of straw. Even it is more traditional and kind of old fashioned. But I remember making straw stars in primary school.

[@ARNECARLOS]

They are so nice

[@martinevezina2346]

C'est magnifique tout ce que vous nous faites découvrir avec émerveillement. Merci! C'est un plaisir de vous suivre . Désolée, je ne sais pas faire des phrases correctes en anglais.

[@jennievpollard77]

i am looking forward to this year's advent series.

[@ARNECARLOS]

So are we!

[@melissalambert7615]

Love a good thrift shop and Christmas. So sorry you didn't get card during CVD. I still sent out lots. I don't get many back but I understand many of my friends are older and struggle with handwriting. I save special ones and put them on my hutch every year. Also cut some up to make gift tags for next year.

[@sylviamatthee8172]

Don't forget the straw garlands. I really like the Scandinavian straw decorations. Hope that you are well and that all us hoi v well in North America. I am knitting your Christmas balls like mad!

[@tonithorn3811]

Thank you very much for the Christmas spirit!

[@ARNECARLOS]

You are welcome!

[@valerieehrman3720]

You are just so fun!

[@daniellemeadows6965]

Hello Arne and Carlos, I've really enjoyed this episode as usual particularly the "chic matches"! Lovely thrift shopping guys and I loved the straw garlands and ornaments.

[@nicolelafontaine1720]

Very fun shopping with you. Thanks.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you for joining us!

[@michelemurnane2834]

Yes, I was wondering when you would look at the pink can.

[@mib7623]

I love thrift store shopping too and would have been thrilled with finding some of your knitted Christmas balls. I'm looking forward to your broadcasts throughout December. Greetings from Florida, USA!

[@danielaabc2099]

I loved this episode very much. I spent some Sommerhidays in Norway and i love the christmas dekoration. Thank you for showing us! Hilsen fra Tyskland!

[@8Gammie]

I LOVE music boxes!! Beautiful sound to open the video! Nice haircut, Carlos!!! great video with great ideas. love, hugs, prayers.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you Barbara!

[@PinkSallyProductions]

I don’t celebrate Christmas but I am interested in how it is celebrated in other countries, so it was lovely to go thrift shopping with you, Tak! You work so hard on providing content for your KZbin channel and I’m looking forward to the whole of December to see you both. I hope you enjoyed Thanksgiving in the US a. Be well, Sally 🌹

[@ARNECARLOS]

We did, thank you so much Sally!

[@isabellawiseman4010]

I am looking forward to the run up to ur big day on the 24th. Loved all the things u picked in the thrift store. Could get expensive with the selection they have. Happy holidays. 👌👌🎁🎁❤️❤️👋👋👋

[@dragonknitter]

Arne must be a magpie at heart, liking the shiny things

[@cuppajavaplease]

I enjoyed thrifting with you! I liked the candle holder and the straw garlands. You guys are fun. Thanks!

[@ARNECARLOS]

You are welcome Louisa!

[@lynnniemi3053]

So fun to see the Local Thrift Shop during the Christmas season - I wish I could just pop myself there and do some shopping! thanks for sharing with your you tube family!

[@christafischer4042]

I loved this video!!! What treasures you have there ❤

[@roisanaries]

I just started knitting 2 months ago and I just adore these two guys!!❤️

[@barbarakb8847]

I love Advent! Since I’m Lutheran, our first candle symbolizes hope (Romans 15:12) in the coming Christ child. But I love my secular traditions too-the Arne & Carlos Advent Calendar, seven cookies in the box from last year’s A&C Advent Sundays, and I am doing a Christmas embroidery too. Anticipatation!

[@ARNECARLOS]

All great traditions!

[@greyhaircrafter]

In Canada we call the straw things “wheat weaving” but they look kinda 70’s not really in fashion. They usually have pieces of lace glued on for some reason.

[@sabik3564]

Thank you Arne and Carlos for spreading JOY ❤️

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you for watching!

[@mydailyfiber]

Just sing this word together, in harmony, "Jooooooooy!" - aaaaand done. 😄
