Thrift Store Haul-Vintage Goodies!

[@juliemangold1883]

Can't wait to see what you do with these awesome finds.

[@sandy_521lakestreet]

Those 1960's elementary readers are one of my weaknesses...I have way too many...just adore the images and such!

[@terridaly1895]

Great finds! Love the Santa and Mrs Clause paper dolls and the sears catalog!

[@bluechill9956]

Wonderful haul, so fun to watch and hear the joy in your voice. Mahalo for sharing these great finds. I love those fabric quilt blocks, looks like a log cabin pattern. Fun, fun, fun. I can’t wait to see you in action.

[@kessell637]

I love the thrill of the hunt! Those padded quilt blocks-I think I would cut them in strips along the quilting rows and use the snippets of fabric for tag pulls, sewn on trims, etc. Have fun with your treasures!

[@cyndiduncan7795]

Great deal on the quilt squares. I often find them at estate sales but many of them want anywhere from $1 to $3 EACH for the size you have. We had that Christmas Carol book, too. I would love to find one. Brings back a lot of memories.

Awesome finds!!

[@sweetboo1022]

omg, I had the Gingham's book. My grandma used to read it to me every time I went to their farm. What memories

[@marieblundellnumber29creative]

Great finds, I love the fabrics and table linens. 😃

[@kimsilva4400]

Great haul! I love it all!

[@RockPaperTreasures]

You always find the coolest things! Love everything!

[@TRYHEART67]

Ooooo, I have that sears catalog and haven’t yet done anything with it! Will be fun to see what you come up with! Nice haul! Vicki

[@lottiefaith6935]

I love that pillowcase with the long swag of flowers on it, that would be cute as the fabric base of a journal with the embroidery along the top. If the pillowcase is stained or torn you could cover it with other fabric or laces. Love all of the books, especially the Sears and Roebuck, joy! joy!

[@AliaDePina]

Gayle what an awesome haul!! You always find such treasures in your thrift stores! Hugs 💜 Alia

[@tuthillg]

[@corinnecurtis5145]

Super cute goodies!!

[@elizabethkerckhoff1259]

Wow you found some really good stuff!!! I just bought"The Hollywood Musical" A picture Quiz Book By Stanley Appelbaum. It's black in white pictures of Al Jolson,Judy Garland, Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly.... and so on. This book is FULL of great musicals scenes. I paid $1.00!!! I'm going to keep my eyes open for those Golden Books. I very rarely go into the children section. Anyway I'll end my book here. :-) Have a great day Ms.Gayle!!! ~Liz~

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Thanks for watching, Liz! Have fun playing with the goodies you found!! ❤️

[@MamaaaPerdue]

Beautiful prints on those fabric and the lace are awesome too. Great finds! TFS. Hugs Bernadette

[@gailsbookishthings5191]

The thick squares with batting would be good pot holders. I’ve made some that way. Just add seam binding around the edge. ☺️

[@bonbonamadewithlove150]

You found great things, I love the Ginghams book and the Christmas one. I can imagine the puffed quilted pieces as cover for a journal. Tfs Nicole

[@angiehayden6429]

Wow!!! Some super awesome stuff❣

[@debbielee93]

Awesome stuff,! I almost bought that sears catalog at a used book store. Your prices are awesome! Ours think the books are gold sor something

[@nanafyme]

Great finds can't wait to see wht you do with those books

[@theramblincrafter]

Awesome! I love the Sears Roebuck book! So fun! Your stash buster books have given me an idea for a Christmas present! Thanks Gayle!

[@rebeccagable9629]

I have that same book (garage sale)!

[@valyvalou2270]

Our bags for books are $AU10 a bag where I am !!🤣. Once again great prices our thrift stores ( called second hand shops ) are getting more and more expensive which is a shame . Have a lovely weekend , hugs from the land of Oz.

[@lesliespeers2739]

Super cool haul... Isn't treasure hunting so much fun! TFS ~ L

[@DianeHubertPrettyPinkCottage]

Good finds, Gayle! I love the Alice and Jerry books. Sometimes I see them for up to $12!! (I don't pay that much!). I've been lucky enough to get a couple for $1 each, and I also paid $3 or $4 for some. And, when I was a teenager, we had that Christmas song book, and I used to play the songs on our old upright piano while my family sang at Christmastime! Too bad we didn't keep that book! Enjoy creating with your bounty!! Hugs

[@adirondackErin]

Diane H. What a lovely memory!

[@cathyspindle5380]

You hit the jackpot I sure hope that you will sell some pages out of that sears roebuck catalog I would loooooooovvvveee to have just a couple I have been searching everywhere for a small one with no luck

[@adirondackErin]

What a good idea to cut up a shirt. Great bang for your buck!

[@MoiraMcDonald]

You don't get bargains like that here. I've visions of you out there like Sherlock, looking for a bargain 😂😂😂xxx

[@jilltalbot6269]

Does Kristin have a website too?? If so can you share? I love your videos and I craft with you all the time:)

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Jill, Kristin is Rock Paper Treasures on both You Tube and Etsy. ❤️

[@Maggita2015]

I usually go to the thrift store and there are lots of awesome treasures to find. What do you mean by copyright images? Date? Could you explain? Thank you 😊

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Hi Maggy! The copyright is when the book was published. So I always look for the old ones! Hope that answers your question! Thanks for watching!!

[@barbarabacker-gray9611]

Hi Gayle, I've been following you for a while now and I love watching your creative process. I occasionally watch people's thrift store haul videos, but I think I live in the wrong part of the country. No such prices here! I have a question for you, though. Have you figured out the copyright laws for scrapbooking? I have read that you can use an image or 2 from a copyrighted book but also that you can absolutely not use any copyrighted material in things you sell. I've read that copyright expires after 100 years, but also after the author's death plus 50 years. You've been doing this a long time, and you mention that you'll use these books from the 1960s and 70s. I am beyond confused. Can you explain it once and for all? Thanks, Barbara, Austin, Texas

[@mkaysartfuljourney1239]

Fun

[@sandy_521lakestreet]

I have a real 1930's Sear catalog but do not want to tear it up, I think I can make copies now and not get in trouble.....Sandy

[@maureenstuckey8589]

YOU MIGHT WANNA' HANG ON TO THE SEAR'S BOOK.. IT COULD BE WORTH SOME MONEY NOW THAT SEARD IS GOING OUT OF BUSINESS...JUST A THOUGHT... I WOULD COPY WHAT I NEED OUT OF IT FIRST???
