Thrift Store Gold : Scoring Expensive Linens for Huge Profits

[@maryanne2939]

Next time you forget the cart, stuff the pillow shams woth pillow shams lol

[@katstreasurehunting]

Yes!!

[@sarsarsvintagejewelry]

I like the way you shop!!

[@erinmaxwell8133]

Oh, my gosh, those vintage doily pillow shams!!! Pretty!! The Big One is a kohl's brand. That beaded bag at the end was stunning!!!

[@katstreasurehunting]

Yes they are for sure!

[@lorettagould8284]

Love the metal doll bed!!

[@katstreasurehunting]

Yes they had it at $35 not sure if it's worth a lot?

[@katenickels617]

As a linen reseller I am overwhelmed by what you found. Great finds

[@katstreasurehunting]

You and me both! I'm lucky if I find one of those normally

[@michelleraney3577]

I have found two McKenzie Childs items at the Goodwill bins! One was a clock I have hanging in my kitchen and the other was a childs bowl I sold on Ebay. Great linen finds!

[@katstreasurehunting]

That is awesome!

[@CarolanRoss]

I never used to look at linens, thanks to you have begun, Kat. I hate photographing them, but a few might be worth the pain. My favorite find was a vintage Rainbow Brite twin sheet set from the 80s (Hallmark), sold FAST for around $60 (paid $5). YES!

[@katstreasurehunting]

With sheets and bigger items if pattern is the same and they're not high value just photograph folded makes it easier

[@phbeach]

I LOVE shopping the linen isles!! So may great selling pieces, that often move fast for me. So jealous of your haul!!

[@katstreasurehunting]

Me too!! I doubt I'll ever come upon something like that again!

[@PattiBusse]

Love it! So much fun to thrift with friends

[@katstreasurehunting]

It really is!

[@tamiz8895]

I love looking at the linen section. I have gotten so many great deals on down comforters, vintage wool blankets, chenille, linen/muslin/percale sheets and pillowcases, handmade quilts, embroidered tablecloths, bed linens and expensive throw pillows ❤

[@katstreasurehunting]

I totally agree!

[@cretapoole857]

Enjoyed the shopping. You got some great deals on the pillow covers.

[@katstreasurehunting]

Yes! Thank you!

[@dawngoaley5115]

I love watching your videos! So fun watching you thrift, and I learn so much.

[@katstreasurehunting]

Oh thank you!

[@sharisimonehampton5434]

Wow! Your intuitive senses lead you to an amazing haul!! Loved shopping with you here! I think its the 1st time Ive heard you mention Croscill. Funny as this video began,I had it specifically pop in my head! And when it came up in the video, well...lol Gotta love it! Amazing day! The girls will certaubly laugh as much watching you go to the bank!! Lol...all good. 😉👍❤️

[@katstreasurehunting]

Lol yes crazy when that happens!

[@rama6590]

Love the beaded purse. Exquisite!

[@katstreasurehunting]

Me too!!

[@Jeeprgirl]

Wow! You were definitely in the zone!!!😹

[@katstreasurehunting]

Lol lol yes for sure

[@tracyzoon5805]

Anyone checking out the dishwear section will finds a ton of Pfaltzgraff in most larger thrift stores. The pieces to look for are the more unusual items. They can sell good just not the regular dinner and salad plate and basic bowl stuff.

[@katstreasurehunting]

Great tip!

[@Treasuredivathrifts]

Thanks for sharing your neat little gem of a thrift store with us! I had so much fun and was amazed at your ability to spot those great name brand linens. I learn so much from you . Definitely one of the best Hauls I have seen 😊

[@katstreasurehunting]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@maggiecousineau1877]

I loved your play by play of your shopping haul, it was quite stunning. The vintage beaded purse was stunning.

[@katstreasurehunting]

Thank you so much!

[@beckyhuey9744]

Linens galore! Super great find Kat! I use to pass that store on my way to work daily. Never stopped in. Lol❤

[@katstreasurehunting]

It is by far one of my faves!

[@hresulas4446]

That beaded handbag was amazing!😍

[@katstreasurehunting]

YES! It's one of the best ones I've found!

[@AcornHillHomestead]

Nice haul. Some of the RLR go for good money. I bought 4 red blue floral 84” cotton curtain panels for $20, used them for 5 years myself then resold them for $125.00. SCORE!

[@katstreasurehunting]

Yeah that's awesome!

[@vickiehanan5686]

I was waiting for this video !! The Ralph Lauren comforters are awesome !! Loved the orange one !! You really did hit the mother lode this time !! Going to start looking for linens now !!! You have me hooked lol

[@katstreasurehunting]

Yes it was insane!

[@LaLadybug2011]

Tahari not Tallari. Tahari is a high end brand of women's clothing. Like Ralph Lauren, they branched out into other things like a Home brand for bed linens, etc. Great find!

[@octobird1]

Isn't it crazy how much knowledge resellers have to have?

[@GrammaPat]

I will be there tomorrow! I can’t wait!

[@katstreasurehunting]

Hope you find some good stuff it's a great store

[@gypsyjolie]

12:16 that blue and white teacup to the left in a bowl is an Anthropologie ikat bowl . I’ve sold them for $30

[@katstreasurehunting]

Oh good to know thank you!

[@carriewheeler5540]

My honey hole prices have gone up so much I’m starting to shop out of my comfort zone for resell. This was an excellent video for linens. I picked up my first blanket! Faribo red/black checkered stadium blanket. 🤞Thank you for your continued videos that I can learn from!

[@katstreasurehunting]

You are so welcome!

[@lisageilhausen1866]

Great haul Kat! Loved that you shop with your friends and I so enjoyed that YOU enjoyed them laughing at you and your overflowing buggy.

[@katstreasurehunting]

Lol it was a very funny day

[@rhondalockrey9592]

wow your favorite items to buy great score Kat!!!

[@katstreasurehunting]

Thank you!! 😊

[@JamieCote-yy7nh]

Beautiful finds Kat!

[@katstreasurehunting]

Thank you! 😊

[@Veronica-et6we]

Beautiful linens. Thank you for the video such an eye opener on linens.

[@katstreasurehunting]

You are so welcome!

[@GrandmasGonnaFlip]

Have your friends never watched your videos? They should know to expect you to stack up those linens. I thought the thumbnail was so cute. Perfect for you smiling pretty behind a pile of linens, that is why I clicked on it when I did. I knew you had to of found some amazing items.

[@katstreasurehunting]

Lol yes they both watch most of them but I was very excited they were laughing at my expressions and comments

[@dorothylehman4164]

Did you get?Did you open up all of your pieces of fabric?Like your curtains?Your pillow shams open them up to see if there's any stains or tears or torns.Did you do all of that?I didn't see you do that.When you were selecting them or do you just grab a man by him?I'm sure you care because you're gonna be reselling them.When do you ever do that before you buy them

[@bethinthe305]

i love selling linens! what a great haul! definitely looked like fun!

[@katstreasurehunting]

Me too!

[@christinelanmon2852]

Wow you did great on thrifting. Lots of great linens. I just started looking at linens myself. I found 2 Pier One pillows at a local thrift store that were brand new. Thanks for the learning video.

[@katstreasurehunting]

That is awesome!

[@BayouBelleVintiques]

I've found beautiful Italy white extra large pillow shams before in GW. Always surprised when people pass up the white pillow shams. I have a beautiful silk Chinese style crazy quilt comforter & shams that I should list. Its dry clean only so, with pets, I've never put it on my bed once we got our cats lol. #FullCartGang

[@katstreasurehunting]

Oh yeah I don't blame you for sure! LOL @ full cart gang HAHAHA

[@tina_miss_da_meana]

"Linen senses." Lol that cracked me up.

[@katstreasurehunting]

Lol

[@megankirk7876]

Tahari is a fabulous clothing brand!

[@katstreasurehunting]

Oh good to know thank you

[@CollaborativeDog]

Tahari used to be sold in department stores, but now can be primarily found at TJ Maxx and Marshalls.

[@Placement239]

Not really

[@lh5677]

It is great to go thru items outside instead of thrift store bad lighting. Well at least in good weather anyway

[@katstreasurehunting]

Definitely!

[@kimnied7023]

Kat, from one "dropsie" to another.. I've learned to put my stuff in other stuff while shopping, like in the pillow cases! 😁

[@katstreasurehunting]

Great idea!!

[@GrammaPat]

First Baptist thrift store in Leesburg now has some lovely house goods in a room at their location. I was pleasantly surprised. I went there today looking for a small dresser. I didn’t find one but I spent a few minutes in the house goods section.

[@katstreasurehunting]

Ohhh good to know what hours are they open? and days?

[@rhoward295]

Wow, just WOW!!! What an excellent thrift trip! I’m looking forward to your next video because I’m hoping that whomever donated all of the linens also donated a ton of glass and collectibles!

[@katstreasurehunting]

That was the collectible store too I didn't find much the next is clothes

[@giselawilliams1877]

Great haul of linens 🥰

[@katstreasurehunting]

Thank you!

[@amycharbonneau2625]

Awesome linen finds!

[@katstreasurehunting]

Thanks!

[@cindyblumenthal8315]

Shower curtains make great fabric to cover chairs , benches or make pillows.

[@katstreasurehunting]

Great idea!

[@FunFindsOutpost]

I’ve been excited to see this shop since the podcast, and it didn’t disappoint….wow….I am now on the hunt for linens….but how much room do you need to photograph. That’s would be my problem for sheets and comforters, I don’t know how I’d lay them out.

[@katstreasurehunting]

The expensive ones I photograph on my bed and remove the background and use ai background (they're already listed if you want to take a look) if they're not high dollar I just photograph them folded

[@LindaWilliams-r2j]

Amazing finds l truly enjoy watching you shop.Wishing we had shops like this I am not a reseller but love thrift stores shopping .Tell Dalton hello. ❤️❤️

[@katstreasurehunting]

Thank you so much! Yes these would all be great to find for personal use as well!

[@pattihuesken9583]

Mika @ 32:24 is pronounced “mee-ka” if this matters to you. Amazing linens, so fun to watch you pick them up! Totally great find. ❤

[@katstreasurehunting]

Oh thank you!

[@sherylbone5744]

Hi! Lots of great items. Tfs

[@katstreasurehunting]

Thanks for watching!

[@JacquilineLeGuen-lu9fl]

Wow...awesome!

[@katstreasurehunting]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@marystucko]

Thank you so much for the content! I find that very few people check the linens and a go to many estate sales that towards the end of the sale, they give those away! I have found Some real gems that would not have looked at if you hadn't educated me :-) Thank you!!

[@katstreasurehunting]

You are so welcome! It's definitely a often missed category

[@sandarellaSD]

The BIG One is a Kohl’s brand. I have started looking at linens more & recently found a set of 8 NWT napkins by Waterford for .25 cents each.. I was surprised at how much they were selling for.

[@katstreasurehunting]

NICE!!!

[@Margot5twofor53Oh]

I’m just gonna say it, I’m so Jealous !! Good job Kat! Love these videos.

[@katstreasurehunting]

Thank you!!

[@M322233]

Thank you so much for sharing your experience and thrift trips with us! I will do a field trip to our Goodwill to practice my linen-finding skills now😄. I am interested in textiles in general and want to learn the linen part too.

[@katstreasurehunting]

I love them they're probably my favorite things to find

[@mistysmom561]

Omg..linen heaven!!

[@katstreasurehunting]

Yes for sure!

[@claudiamartin776]

Wow what a linen haul great prices I think it’s great to shop with friends always have a lot of fun and you get information at time from each other I love the beaded evening bag would love to buy it but I think shipping to Australia would be to expensive thanks for all the work you do to get out these videos please keep using the would handmade I think people appreciate the time and love put into the work until the next best wishes and have a great week 🐨🦘🇦🇺❤️

[@katstreasurehunting]

Yeah I think Australia is one of the highest if you want to email me I can check the rate for you [e-mail]

[@KatsAlluringTreasures]

Great finds!

Thank you!

[@jojo90s4]

Thanks for the video and information

[@katstreasurehunting]

You are welcome!

[@KatsAlluringTreasures]

Ok I need to go to your store to see how you snap pictures of these - I have picked some up linens - table clothes and towels but hate taking pictures - so I stay away from sheets and comforters which I find a lot.

[@katstreasurehunting]

Sheets you can just show folded with the pattern. Really it would work with comforters as well but if they're expensive I put them on my bed

[@dinaestenson9887]

I tried to get in there the other day and the parking was a nightmare. Rocky and rollers is a band at the Villages.

[@katstreasurehunting]

Yes it is i think the garage will be done soon thank goodness

[@SueBrading]

I have learned so much from you especially with linens. In California where I live those linens would have been easily $25 IF you could even find them. I will miss you comping items with a little lower value. Love your videos though!!

[@katstreasurehunting]

I paid $20 each for the comforters so they were priced up a bit

[@Ireneginori]

I have been laughing since the beginning of the video. Your hysterical! The pillow sham falling and misbehaving is hahahaha… I’m going to have to come to your thrift stores and shop! The stuff you found is outstanding! Btw, the shams you left Tahari, are designer. I know they make clothing. I had several pieces years ago. Going to mount dora this weekend to shop. Any advice? Hugs!

[@katstreasurehunting]

I haven't been to mount dora except for the antique fairs in november jan feb so I'm not sure when it's not the antique fair LOL

What fabulous linen finds! I do love selling vintage linens and textiles. I recently bought a bin of vintage lace most of it on the original cards. I know you are selling that as well so I have a question: would you leave it on the card which has the name and address of the manufacturer? Just measure it and return to card? Thanks so much for all your wisdom. Love going thrifting with you!!

[@katstreasurehunting]

We left on cards and actually didn't measure any and they're still selling well

[@ceecee5389]

@@katstreasurehunting Thank you!!!

[@redcardinaltreasures]

It's too bad you had to do the voiceover. The sounds and exclamations you made every time you found another awesome linen was priceless!

[@katstreasurehunting]

Lol lol yes I was very excited

[@S.Lee13]

Great finds!!! Do you look over the linens carefully for stains before you purchase them? I’m always very careful buying anything made of fabric. since many have stains😆

[@katstreasurehunting]

I glance quickly but not thoroughly. We will wash and try to get out if they have sold if not I'll just re donate

[@colletti7569]

Oh my! 😮 Linens, Linens and more linens. Make sure to wash with vinegar to get the smells out and dry with high heat for at least 1 hour to kill those bed bugs 🐛 😅

The quality in the old stuff is in the touch. People went out to shops and felt the quality of the stuff they were buying. Internet shopping just isn't the same and quality has dropped from everything

rather than handmade- use the term custom made. my daughter is a designer and has linens custom made for her clients.
