Thrift Store Decorating Ideas! 5 Shops In 1 Day!

[@janetwheeler382]

I'm still trying to process all this. I know you've heard of Six Degrees of Separation. I to was saying prayers and grieving the loss of Jan Martin Mullins last week. Jan and I were both members of the Grandparents Raising Grandchildren support group on FB. My heart breaks for you, her family and especially little Conner. 😢💔. I lived and worked in Kingsport TN. I still live just a few minutes away, still raising my granddaughter alone. It was our biggest fears that we would pass before our grandchildren were grown. My heart breaks for everyone. Our group will continue to keep Conner and family in thoughts and prayers and if we can help in any way please let me know. From the first time I watched one of your videos I felt a connection. I did not know exactly what but just that there was a connection in some way. With time I came to recognize other names in your videos that made that connection feel even more real. The last names Buchanan and Mullins are very common here. In fact I am of Mullins descent. It is truly a small world and God holds us all in his hands. Love and hugs to all. Jan will be so missed. And we will remain in prayer for little Conner. These children are out world. ❤🤗

[@LittlePoet]

I am so grateful for your words tonight,,,so many tears...how wonderful for you to connect with me and let me know you knew Jan,,,, and Connor, the pain is so deep. I am so happy to meet you...lots of tears. Jan would never want us to cry...she would want us to be strong and get to work at something important,,....,,my love to you and yours, please reach out any time so we can stay in touch? Much love always, Susan

[@janetwheeler382]

@@LittlePoet yes tears are flowing as I type all this and still processing. Out support groups were/are our life lines. 💔🙏

[@elizabethvanover8369]

Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you during your loss. I, too, am of Mullins descent (grandmother) and was raised in Dickenson Co., VA., about an hour from Kingsport. My husband and I also raised my granddaughter, who is now 22. May God bless and comfort 💕

[@suew6011]

I am so deeply sorry for your loss…. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home and all the treasurers you’ve collected. Such a warm and cozy home. ❤

[@karenashby3132]

Live just down the road a bit from you in Jefferson County. Very sorry for your loss. Prayers lifted 🙏

[@EllieBelle-s1o]

My son loves to ask me if I still have certain items from his childhood. He loves to talk about things he remembers. 💙

[@alohamom2380]

RE: your Weller Pottery basket/bowl, your friend is so right: you were meant to bring it to your home. So many simply view these as "things" to occupy a space; but you see how these items bring beauty and joy into your home. I also love the fact that you embrace color; and lots of it! 🌺

[@NewYawkahBroad]

I'll never understand why some people come to a KZbin channel knowing the content and then get offended by something in it and just dump all over the light it brings. There's enough negativity in the world as it is. Leave your grumpiness at home, please. We like the beauty this channel brings.

[@lindashipley5293]

I want to only be good at being young....in heart and actions. Thank you for your beautiful heart . Love you and Desi so much.🌸🌺🌻

[@marilyncamino6928]

My mother who is long gone now once said to me, “ Marilyn, you think I color my hair because I’m vain don’t you?” I said, no mom I do not think that at all. She said, I color my hair, because when I look in the mirror, I don’t want to see an old lady. If I see an old lady looking back at me, I’m a start acting like an old lady and I definitely don’t want that. Now that I’m older, I completely understand what she was saying. She was always so young at heart.

[@debbieyzuel7887]

I think you are such a beautiful person on the outside and the inside. Always stay sweet.

[@cri4199]

Some of us are young until die! The body is only borrowed!💗

[@AdelaideLaurie-bo4xp]

Sue...I so enjoy your videos. You are so inspiring to me. I know what it is to lose someone you love...I lost my husband many years ago..we were newlyweds and his passing was the worst thing that has ever happened to me. He was a Police Officer and he was killed in the line of duty. The pain of losing him never diminishes, you just try to live you life as best as you can. ...I so look forward to listening to your positive views about life and about making the best of our lives...know that you are so admired.

[@Karen_G.]

I'm your age, born in 55'. Back in my 40's I was talking w/my mom on the phone, as we often did. I remember the conversation so well, remember I was cleaning my linen closet when she called. We shared our day w/each other. Somehow we got on the topic of getting older. I told her I'm reminded of my age when I walk past the mirror. But inside, I'm really just the girl I used to be-- w/the same feelings I had as a girl. My mom listened, paused before speaking, then said, "I know, Karen, I feel that way too." Then I understood, most feel that way. I treasure the girl I once was, but the reality is, she is still here, inside of me. I get much comfort knowing that. Thank you for sharing. I do my best to share with my three grown children, pieces of me w/them. Love them so. ❤❤❤

[@tiger8linny788]

Aging is inevitable, being old is a choice❣️ I found your video just in time since my BFF is coming to spend my 80th birthday with me and we can’t wait to go ‘thrifting’ again like we did years ago! It’s winter now but we will walk down memory lane with a summer vibe and the joy of being together! You have such a beautiful spirit - thank you for sharing your thrift store finds and your lovely home! 🥰🐅

[@cathycoons9032]

So glad you share your grief and positive attitudes on living.

[@margo3367]

If I were visiting I would spend all my time in your gorgeous sun room. It’s so tranquil. I can see why the want that backyard fence. ❤✌️

[@LittlePoet]

Oh thank you!!!

[@gracewise4720]

You and I think alike. I’m only good at being young and the people that I know that act their age are already older before their time. I find that much worse than taking the chance……. I am totally in love with your thrift store shopping purchases and your home! You are a beautiful person. ❤️🌈

[@jackiepark4673]

Being young you have so much more fun .people may say act your age but being young you are ageless and free to wander in the forests green,and by the sea blue to feel the wind in your hair to stand and stare at all the beautiful flowers growing wild in grass tall,to feel beautiful in your soul you are ageless timeless and real.😊

[@marysmyth8288]

Today was a down day for me at age 80yrs , not feeling great , Was a bit in the dumps. I am an avid reader yet Not anything I Thought to do seemed to work. I really wanted to go out and Visit a lovely garden Center, yet I just lay in bed feeling I was Getting to the end of my time in life . I am a cancer survivor And it scared me to think of what is affecting my low energy Gradually I recovered by looking at my home and feeling grateful Grateful I own a car , a little Honda Fit Bright Yellow and I name *Buttercup. Also I remembered it was Saturday and I was perked up thinking of Susan’s weekly vlog with wee Desi. Now is my bedtime, I hope to go to Church tomorrow and meet my best friend That we only get to see each other occasionally because she is a younger Grandmother, Life continues . We must make the best of it . Susan you are so very gifted and your wonderful kind heart lifts me up when I am down. Blessings to you , your home is spectacular ✍️ Mary Canada 🇨🇦

[@susanmarie2231]

I love thrift and resale shops, but in the past few years, I downsized and decluttered into a one room studio. I have embraced my minimalist lifestyle. When I consider buying anything now, I ask myself: Do I need it, where will I put it, will I really, really use it/wear it? Yes, I still occasionally buy something I want but don’t need and I better be sure I have a place for it. LOL. Enjoy your treasured things Susan! Thanks for sharing.

[@marystilwell9312]

First I want to say that this summer, as a caregiver in a complicated situation.. I have enjoyed my gardening and I have enjoyed finding myself again and taking care of myself. Being a caregiver to someone on Hospice certainly reground’s you and makes you recognize that WE, ourselves are most important and only WE can ensure that we live long enough to live our fullest. Now, I want to say that I totally get the “Good at being young.” My son has a quote he always says that is just so simple yet eternal.. “Live Life.” Whether it be good or bad. Live it. Do not let Life live you just because we age. We do not loose our dreams, our hopes, our joys and our passions. We control all of those things and how deep we bury them as we age.. forgetting them. We would never forget a dear loved one so why would we forget ourselves? Why would we allow ourselves to be packed away and forgotten? So, Yes, I totally “Get” what Max meant and how you feel. I am sorry for your loss. But OH the memories you have!! Cherish those and the Blessing to have had someone so special in your life. I know you do and will! I always watch your videos when I feel I need for a calmness in my day or centered in my life. Thank you for your bright smile, your optimism in a world where that has become a rarity. So my word for you today is this… continue to “Live Life!” as you do!!

[@juliepeck3523]

I really like Max’s quote. I get it. ❤

Am good at being young! I still have lots of moments at being young❤....Your w.ords touched my heart...I will be 79 next month. My days of summer😂😂 si hot in beautiful Arizona

[@jdk5379]

I just turned 65 & had a beautiful realization before my birthday that I’m happy not to be searching anymore. Not searching for love, for salvation or redemption, not searching for security, nor for prosperity. I have it all right here, right now. Thank You Susan for All You do for us - Love & Joy to You & Desi 😘😘🫂🫂

[@rhondamartin1251]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. It gives me such a sense of peace. To me your words are so profound. Each week, when I listen to Susan speak it's such a calmness that not everyone is gifted with that can make you feel @ peace. Thank you both!🌿🦢🪻🌴🌻🌴🌷🦢🌿

I'm where you are, and it's such a peaceful place to be. ❤

Hello Susan... I have been away for a bit and not sure all that has happened. Last time I was here I voted for your dress for the wedding. I know a lot happens when you miss a day, let alone a week!! My sincere condolences for you and your family. I have to say that I loved the quote, " I am only good at being young" OMGoodness... is that ever true and sums right up why sometimes things are difficult for me. But here we are Slaying Aging!! Thank you for sharing your heart. I appreciate you.

[@kimneely4034]

I try to notice the smallest beauty around me when I am out walking & I love the quiet moments sitting on my garden bench watching the bees buzz around my lavender & thank God for the beauty of life. Another favourite is to go to the coast which is only an hour away from my home & sit on the beach & just listen to the ebb & flow of the sea with my eyes closed - restorative to the soul. Love seeing you & Desi & your wise words & fun ideas gladden my heart. ❤

Continuing to pray for you,dear Susan. Thank you for being you !!!!!

How I love your videos. You remind me of what’s good in life. To be alive. Been listening for 3yrs now. When first diagnosed with 2 cancers. How I love being reminded of the good things in life you talk about. Today you reminded me with the msg from your friend. To live young. So thank you. Idk how long I’ll last. But everyday I will try to live young. You reminded me. 🥰😍🥰😍

My young days of Summer were spent riding horses bareback, wearing cut off jean shorts and flip flops through fields and the forest paths we had worn. What a wonderful life!

[@MarysNest]

Hi Susan, what a lovely video. I love all the things you picked up at the thrift shop. Yiur home is so beautifully furnished and accessorized. I have to share that I love the picture of you and another girl that you shared. It reminded me so much of me and my best friend from school days. Me on the short side and she on the tall side. And you and I had the same hairstyle! Love to you and Desi, Mary ❤️🤗❤️

Dear Susan, your smile, your enthusiasm, your love for your beautiful home all make me happy if only for a moment. I am 77 and miss my youth, my optimism, my hopes and dreams. At this stage of my life I say to myself, why bother? Nobody comes to see me. Then I tune in to your weekly videos and find joy and comfort and love watching you, listening to you. Thank you Susan for bringing that to me. ❤️

[@LittlePoet]

Oh you are so special...thank you for being my thrifting buddy and sharing a bit of your life with me...I think we can al feel " why bother" and then we snap out of it...and whip up a big batch of BOTHER!!! And there we are.. painting our toenails!!! Love to you! Susan & Desi

[@frannygrace2191]

I totally understand what Max meant--I may be getting older age-wise, but I still love to laugh and have fun, learn new things, and explore old things. And yes, to be silly sometimes and have a ball!

We cherish you as well, Susan. When my best friend passed in 2020, I had such a hole in my heart. So I decided to plant a little garden in her honor. It was so tiny & sweet. It has flourished into an amazing beauty. By honoring her, it keeps her close. Something to ponder in your back yard.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️Thank you for lovely Saturday evenings.

[@marie-claudevanhecke5151]

I just love you. I look forward to watching you each week. I’m so sorry for your loss, I am sending you healing and prayers 💔❤️‍🩹🙏 I am 74 years old and live by myself in Kennesaw, GA. My son and 2 grandsons live in MI and my daughter lives in Summerlin outside of Las Vegas. Because I’m pretty much on my own sometimes it’s a little challenging! But every week I feel like I am tuning in to listen to a friend. I live in a nice apartment for seniors, but I’m not allowed to feed the homeless cats and I’m not allowed to feed the birds on my balcony. You give me hope that I too one day soon I can have my own beautiful little home with my own dog. Thank you so much for being you, have a wonderful week

One of my favorite quotes for aging is “don’t let the old lady in.” I don’t plan to…not ever. I want to be the spunky woman, advanced in age but never “old”…fun and wise in spite of wearing out.

Oh hello my sweet friend! I have to go over to your channel!

[@franzone70]

I'm so sorry to hear about your friend and sister in law Jan.I guess I didn't catch in last weeks video that she had passed. It's hard when we loose loved ones, and it seems like the older we get the more loved ones we loose. And wish if there was just one day we could spend with them again. This is why I cherish every moment that my children and grandchildren come to visit me. You never know if that's the last time. I love your quote " I'm only good at being young". I will be turning 71 in the fall and I don't feel that much older, ( maybe in my bones, but not my attitude). I still enjoy life, working out in my yard, thrifting, reading and spending time with loved ones. I know people younger than me that are already planning their funerals. Not me, I want to live my life to the fullest. thank you for your wonderful and heartfelt video's. I look forward to them every weekend.

[@dianekennedy7086]

You are a blessing to us, Susan. I always feel so much better after watching your videos. Sorry to hear about your friend Jan. What a holy grail find on the Weller piece!!

[@wolfmare50]

I’m good at leaps of faith. I sought passions in my youth, sometimes it worked out, sometimes not what I had expectations of, and hard. I took a jump off that cliff 8 years ago, and boy did I land hard. Very very hard. But you know what? I didn’t let that stop me, from taking another risk, a leap of faith, a jump off a cliff, and I just landed in a place of all my dreams, a place that is perfect for me. I’m pushing 70, MS, and people thought the risk was too great at my age. But those were the people, that put thier heads down when they walk, never seeing the sky. I looked up, and jumped into the wild unknown. I’m good at being young. 🙏💜

[@CarmenRodriguez-vx1km]

Yes, yes, yes, to continue to being good at being young ❣️. It means the same to me, the passion, learning new things, living large!!! Thank you for sharing how you feel and think as we are age 69, and for me age 70, I thought I was alone in feeling young spirit! I thank you and love you too 🤍

Hello from Sweden! 🇸🇪🇸🇪 You asked us about favorite Summer Doings... I have plenty, but one thing I really love to do, beeing good at beeing young, is to lay down in the hammock "hiding from the world" under the cherry tree and fanasize about many things....or lay in the grass watching the clouds drift by and think about what they look like An angel? A Horse? etc etc.... Another (secret) favorite of mine is to jump in puddles of water after a Warm and Silent Summer Rain... I love that and that keeps my heart young even if I am soon to be 59!!!! Have a really good Sunday everyone! 🇸🇪🇸🇪👍🏻💖🙂🌱🤗🇸🇪

[@teresabolen6034]

Deep hurts and memories of losses hits me every August. It's like a gigantic wave crashing against a cliff. Then I remember, I am standing in the sunshine still and I watch that wave recede and be replaced with gratitude. It takes practice to find joy in the little things. God bless you Susan.

[@sashacooper9764]

So beautifully expressed. Blessings to you too 😊

[@AcornHillHomestead]

One of my favorite things about this summer is really watching the bees travel from flower to flower, sometimes sleeping under a leaf on the 6 foot tall wild hyssop and other plants in my cottage garden bed. I can walk right up to them and watch them savor every little speck of pollen. Their legs look like orange saddle bags. I found a hefty Weller 15” tall vase with sunflowers on it at Goodwill for $10 a couple years ago. I snatched that thing so fast and was so sad that it went for so little and they didn’t realize what they had. We collected it for so many years and love it. This new find is front and center on my kitchen island! Your friend Max seemed to know how to live life well. What a great memory.

This video was so valuable in so many ways. I’m downsizing and moving soon. I’m trying to figure out what to take and what to leave. I was getting myself more confused by the minute. After watching this, a realization came to me. I’ll keep only the things that I made a conscious decision to choose. And I’ll let go of the things that I merely “ended up with”.

I lost my best friend Laura in February of 2022. She was 58 years old and so funny. She brought me out of my shell when I was in my early twenties. It was heart breaking and I have a lot of fun, funny fond memories of the times we had that no one can take away from me. I cherish each and every moment we shared for 36 years. I have a big smile on my face when I think of the fun we had together. Life moves fast. Enjoy every moment of every day!!

Sue I’m a fellow homebody and collector, you have beautiful taste. My home is filled with at least a thousand books, plants need other plants to hang out with, paintings add depth and warmth and lamps add a warm glow. I can’t go past a Tiffany lamp because all the colors dance together. Thank you for sharing your beautiful talent ❤

I'm 68, husband 69. We both love taking 3-5 miles walks most of the week. Love it when the daylight is until close to 9pm (CST). Love the balmy flowery breezes being outside. Now, August, which is kind of adieu to Summer brings us sunset before 8pm. That's the hardest part of getting closer to Fall (which I love that Season also), is the lack of daylight. Last Winter we started walking a lot, and it makes the Winter longness more bearable in the Midwest.

After being outbid for two years, I’m finally a home owner in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. I move in one week and can’t wait to hit all the thrift stores. I just love the flower bowl you purchased! It’s gorgeous. I also love the Weller pottery, it’s beautiful. Thank you for giving us great ideas. God bless you!

What a beautiful thing to say to me...thank you so much!

When my son had his last birthday! I thought I am now closer to the back side of life. Then I got A call that my nephew drowned leaving his 8 year old son & 2 year old twins. I changed my thinking right then and praised God for the Gift of life as it is each morning I open my eyes! I can see you are grieving. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Those salt & pepper shaker remind me of Beatrix Potter dish set my son got when he was born. The writer of Peter Rabbit

I wish I could have atleast one member of my family with spirit like yours. You come into a room an just make everything magical. I adore your videos and always come here because I am looking for this warm cosy feeling that I miss. I think that you arranged your house absolutely beautiful, every detail is on right place. Have a very nice Sunday ❤

I'm loving all the beautiful, lazy Summer days we have been having! All I have to do is water the potted plants in the morning and enjoy all the fruits of my labor. Sorry for your loss!
