Thrift With Me | A Year's Worth of Marketplace Finds

Follow me on Instagram: / kristenkhoff
Guys - forgive me! I skipped a step when I exported this, and I'm seeing now that the footage is a bit blurry. Thank you for watching! This video was filmed a few months ago, but never made it onto KZbin! I have a couple of these that I am going to be using to sustain me during this wild packing season. We are getting close to our move out date, and things are crazy around here! I hope you enjoy seeing some of my favorite Marketplace finds of the year.

[@amandatrottier5587]

I can’t tell you how many times I have just casually prayed for something and it has shown up in my life! God is good always!

[@KristenHoffman]

Isn't it crazy?!

[@greencottagegoods2474]

What a treat this video was. I'm probably old enough to be your mom but totally love your excitement for vintage finds. You are such fun to watch. Don't ever apologize for putting the Lord or prayers in your videos. You may be the only 'Jesus' that some see.

[@KristenHoffman]

Giving glory to God is the thing that I care about the most!

[@kelliedeming9636]

You are quickly becoming one of my favorite, KZbin channels to watch! Love your decor, love the kids, love your stories, and themes and giggles!

[@junkinfancy974]

You’re so right. God knows the desires of our heart and He provides, even the unimportant things! He is so good!!

[@KristenHoffman]

SO GOOD!

[@laralee2483]

I love when I hear other people talk about God like He is your best friend! He has provided my wants and needs even when I haven’t prayed but it’s so special when it is something I have vocalized. Love your videos and your faith in Christ🥰

[@KristenHoffman]

Thank you! And He is!

[@juliacann892]

When you said Crock, I thought you meant the shoes haha Those sweaters are so cute! You look like an adorable mom ❤️

[@hmm9876]

Same! Haha

[@KristenHoffman]

I probably won't be buying Crocs any time soon!

[@michellepereira2328]

Hi, this is the first time I am seeing your videos and it’s so sweet to hear you talk about god and prayer. The sweaters all looked very nice and you found some great pieces. I’m 66 and have just started getting into thrifting. A year ago I would never have considered shopping second hand but it’s actually fun , practical and a way to help the environment.

[@KristenHoffman]

There are so many benefits to it!

[@kathleenrichardson6695]

All lovely finds Kristen. Those sweaters look great on you. They are keepers!

[@KristenHoffman]

Thank you, Kathleen!

[@cindyhancock5261]

Amen sister! I believe that God knows the desires of our heart! It’s so refreshing to hear your excitement for the Lord! Please don’t ever change! Blessings to you and your family!

[@KristenHoffman]

Thank you, Cindy!

[@kathyjones4869]

Love the sweaters and they look good on you! Yes the Lord is good and so full of grace for us! Love Him dearly!!

[@KristenHoffman]

He is so good!

[@marthaceballos871]

True ! Love to be surprised when he answers prayers Like that in unimaginable ways😊❤

[@tina_W7]

I love the sweater that you weren't sure about, the the grayish with the front. I think it's beautiful & my favorite. ❤

[@cynthiadelgado3688]

Are you kidding . You look great in every sweater .. 👍🏼 loved this haul and your found treasures ❤️

[@KristenHoffman]

They were nice sweaters! Thank you.

[@judybryant3880]

I liked all the sweaterd but I actually loved the design on the one you mentioned being unsure about. I think it was the first one you put on. I do like them partially tucked in or out also but not the crop top. That just seems more for a summer look amd not for a sweater. You made some good selling decisions. Wow, made enough to pay for some of the others. As always, love your videos.

[@KristenHoffman]

Thank you, Judy! I always try to be an economic benefit to my family! I love being able to shop without guilt, and I do that by selling things all the time for more than what I'm spending!

[@thecross2429]

No way, these are the best thrift bargains yet!! They arr sooo neat! I cannot believe that quilt😍

[@rebeckalundstrom5634]

Omg the CHAIRS! The CHAIRS! Pure love!

[@KristenHoffman]

My faves!

[@mariannamiller738]

Love everything! All the sweaters look good on you!

[@KristenHoffman]

Thank you, Marianna!

[@pennyfourshee4201]

Wonderful finds. All of the sweaters look great on you. The pottery was an amazing find and so was all of the chairs. Thanks so much for sharing!

[@KristenHoffman]

I love Marketplace! You can find the greatest stuff on there.

[@sheilapellicane8507]

I swear Kristen ANYTHING looks good on you! Your are very fortunate. Love all the finds you have a good eye. You have made me appreciate the importance of talking and putting my faith in God just a bit more than I have! (If that makes any sense)

[@KristenHoffman]

I'm so glad this could motivate you. Thank you!

[@jianxjana123_7]

Yes! The Lord provides... i love the sweater haul! i want to wear these comfy knit ones but i live in a tropical country so it stays in the dresser until we get the rainy season in for cool weather.

[@KristenHoffman]

I love me some rain!

[@leahp2098]

love the sweaters… pattern designs. God works in mysterious ways ❤️

[@KristenHoffman]

So true!

[@junkinfancy974]

I love all of those sweaters on you. I also love the Roseville Pottery. It’s collectible. I’ve never heard of the other brand. I love your finds and you have a beautiful family.

[@KristenHoffman]

Thank you!

[@kathyorourke9273]

The sweaters are lovely, good job. The upholstered chairs look more Italianate than mid century

[@KristenHoffman]

Ooh. I'll have to look into Italianate. I am not always the best resource for this type of stuff!

[@diancrosby202]

Love everything. Keep all the sweaters, they all look good on you. The first one, I would call a shawl collar cardigan.

[@KristenHoffman]

Thank you, Dian!

[@OldWorldHome]

So many wonderful unique finds, FBM is one of the very best inventions of the decade 😄 What’s old is new, turning trash into treasure, buying and reselling, ahhh it’s so great!

[@KristenHoffman]

It's definitely what I spend the most time scrolling through!

[@janeharden1163]

The sweaters are very “cool” and the baby blue one does look great on you. They all do!!

[@ambermoy8147]

Great video Kristen‼️ I absolutely love both of the chairs and of course, all the crocks 😍 and Girl... all of those sweaters look stunning on you 💯 Don't be so hard on yourself ❣️ Thanks for sharing with us ❤

[@KristenHoffman]

I was just disappointed they weren't a little bit larger, but they were all beautiful!

[@patriciaskitch2341]

Keep all the sweaters. They look fantastic on you!

[@KristenHoffman]

Thank you, Patricia!

[@imeldaestrada8896]

It's nice to know that God is always watching out for us!!!

[@KristenHoffman]

He is!

[@gracerajah8972]

Amen ! Thank you Lord for the basket !

[@elisabethsingletary7931]

I love when God does those things that mean so much to us individually. He does care about the little things and the big and loves to bless His children. He is so good.

[@KristenHoffman]

He is SO GOOD!

[@saraloftsgaard3105]

The sweaters look very high quality! They look awesome on you! I think they look best tucked in. 😊

[@KristenHoffman]

I think so too!

[@sheilajacobson1941]

The pattern on that turtleneck is really pretty. (Non-green one.)

[@janjentz1053]

Both of the sweaters looked great. you find the best items and such good prices.

[@KristenHoffman]

Thanks so much!

[@rhegislorraine]

Dear Goodness, I love how genuine and honest you are about thrifting and not having much money to spend. Thank you for sharing your finds! Such a blessing to find your channel!

[@KristenHoffman]

I think people can just assume that if you are wearing expensive clothing, that you make good money. I wear expensive clothing, but I get it all for $3 at the thrift store!

[@antonellabassi3466]

Love the imperfect painting. And the sweater.

[@KristenHoffman]

Thank you so much!

[@k_spats]

Love the sweaters! The two upholstered chairs are lovely!

[@KristenHoffman]

Thank you!

[@lindasmith5190]

I love the sweaters on you. The big basket is amazing.

[@KristenHoffman]

What a blessing!

[@lovebug8720]

I just found a big basket that someone had set out but it's so nice and it was free I love free and love Facebook Marketplace and love all the beautiful things that you have shown and always enjoy your videos thanks for sharing

[@KristenHoffman]

Thank you for being here, Linda!

[@lovebug8720]

YW

[@lexylou2821]

Loved all the sweaters on you, my grandmother had similar chairs like yours, her daughter sold them before I had a chance to talk to her, was devastated. The Lord always hears are prayers. You are such a joy to watch. Have a blessed day. Linda from south Arkansas. 🙏🙏💕💕🤗

[@KristenHoffman]

Maybe you'll find some like your grandmother's someday on Marketplace!

[@ajacob509]

Love the sweaters they look good on you.

[@KristenHoffman]

Thank you!

[@lisahealey2551]

I just recently found your channel and love watching! You need the nickname sunshine ☀️ always smiling. Love your home and love thrifting!

[@KristenHoffman]

Thank you so much, Lisa!

[@jodyholland5912]

I love all of your finds but the sweaters look really cute on you. ❤

[@vickicone6355]

Love all the sweaters I think they look perfect on you! I vote keep them all 🙂 the cane chairs, my folks had both styles that you have, just different colors, they had those for over 30 years. The short back chair I always thought was comfortable. I have never bought anything from fb market place, may have to check it out. You got some great finds for your family and new home!

[@KristenHoffman]

I think both styles are cool too!

[@homesweethomeheaven7663]

I totally get it☺️ the other day I was trying to unclog a pipe and I asked the Lords help for that, I haven’t finished talking to him and it was done😄that happens all the time… He cares about the little things☺️ thanks for sharing, God bless!

[@KristenHoffman]

Wow! How awesome!

[@tammyduff14]

Loved all the sweaters! Thanks for sharing!

[@KristenHoffman]

Thanks for watching!

[@tina_W7]

I know what you mean about God always provides because it's happened to us so often. I'm new to your channel but I really enjoy all your videos I've watched so far even those that are months old so please keep up the work and keep a smiling. God bless and take care.

[@MeanderingMeagan4]

The blue and greens sweaters look great! And I think the pattern on the gray looks good too

[@KristenHoffman]

All of the colors were so pretty!

[@crystallbell5545]

I vote to keep those sweaters. They all look great on you. Compliments your figure, as not too big/baggy.

[@KristenHoffman]

I thought they were cute too!

[@terrypierce1661]

Love the box the large legos were in

[@KristenHoffman]

Another thrift find!

[@adrianarodriguez9632]

I love your sweaters and finds

[@barbaraduncan626]

Love all of the sweaters….

[@KristenHoffman]

Thank you, Barbara!

[@laurabraley1907]

Use color pencils to fix that painting. You won't even notice it. 😉 Love the testimony about the basket. HE truly loves us and shows us with little things like that! ❤❤❤

[@KristenHoffman]

Great idea!!

[@shelbycrowe8036]

Prayer works and is amazing ! That basket is incredible. Also those sweaters look beautiful on you 😍

[@KristenHoffman]

Thank you, Shelby!

[@amyk3020]

These sweaters all look great. You have a great shape and you are definitely cool. Funny that the chairs that you picked up are vintage and I have the same ones for my grandmother who has passed over 20 years ago. So many of the younger families don't care about history and real vintage furniture. Thank you for keeping Good Wood furniture in your family. The ice cream style chairs they're cute but not my favorite, not comfortable. I've bought a couple at yard sales and put an x in the caned seat and planted my geraniums. You'll get more compliments out on the front porch or in a garden by people asking if that's really a chair. As for that pea green color you might consider taking a carpet cleaner with steam and extract the dirt and oils that are on that fabric you'd be surprised the color change. My chair has always been covered over so the true color was more like a yellowy gold. Good luck

[@KristenHoffman]

I always try to find real wood furniture, and avoid the painted pieces if I can!

[@divasmom8]

Kristen, thank you so much for not being hesitant to mention God. You have such a beautiful family and you just sparkle in every way. Love your channel, thank you for giving us a peek into your life!

[@KristenHoffman]

Never! He is the greatest light in my life!

[@barbmartin6070]

You looked great in all of those sweaters! Love your videos!

[@KristenHoffman]

Thank you so much!!

[@dnurse3237]

Love the large chairs.

[@KristenHoffman]

Me too!

[@shirleywilhelm1495]

Those sweaters look great on you. I pray about everything.

[@KristenHoffman]

Thank you so much!

[@doublea6252]

Great finds!! Vintage deals are so exciting!!!!💛

[@KristenHoffman]

Definitely!!

[@rachaelweidner5665]

Great finds! And, all those sweaters look amazing on you!

[@KristenHoffman]

Thank you so much!!

[@juliechartier8689]

I loved seeing all your finds and treasures! Most of my favorite items have been purchased second hand. The hunt is so much fun!

[@KristenHoffman]

I agree, Julie!

[@kelseyclausen]

I appreciate you sharing that sometimes your finds aren't exactly what you had in mind. Then you just resell them and keep trying! Go girl! Recently found your channel and I so enjoy it/you! I'm a honeschooling mom-of-four (I often think it's my baby waking up from her nap when I hear Ivy cooing in the background 😆), pastor's wife, tall girl, from the midwest (ND!), trying to make my home beautiful for as little $$ as possible. So I feel like I connect with you on several levels😊! Thanks for being here!

[@KristenHoffman]

Wow, we are SO similar! We are hoping to have a fourth as well!

[@terrizimmerman5297]

Sometimes we just need to bring that amazing find home and stage it several places. If it’s STILL not the right thing, then sell it. I like the thriftiness you experience in your family. Selling the chairs is a perfect example! Great Job!

[@KristenHoffman]

I only keep the things I absolutely love!

[@AbigailsArtfulAbode]

Girl just embrace that your style is boho with a touch of MCM. Comfy, cozy, lived in.

[@KristenHoffman]

That's exactly what I'm going for!

[@chriswydra1144]

Kristen the sweater that you aren't sure about looks hand crafted and so Boho...love it! The others look great & so classic. Great Haul!

[@KristenHoffman]

Thank you, Chris!

[@isobelnicholson8169]

All those sweaters look really nice on you. They look chunky enough. Keep them all.

[@KristenHoffman]

Thank you! Will do!

[@Rena.89]

I love your style!! Sweaters look great 👍🏼

[@barbiemur3557]

Try coating the bottom of your leaky crock with Thompson Water Sealer! I apply it to my ceramic bird baths to keep them from leaking. I LOVE your STYLE!

[@KristenHoffman]

Oooh. What a great idea!

[@lindakeyes9709]

Love love love the crocks also russian sage is a great dried flower i had some last year in a pitcher outside and it was beautiful all summer

[@marthabirch4687]

All the sweaters look great!

[@KristenHoffman]

Thank you, Martha!

[@rachelgustafson1207]

The sweaters look great on you! Yes, God provides! Little things like this make me so happy!

[@KristenHoffman]

He does! He is so good.

[@gailkathan4235]

Second hand is the way to go!!!!

[@KristenHoffman]

Always!

[@capridillon8595]

Yes...there are so many times that I run across something and I say, "Lord, thank you for looking out for me. .I know that was You!" It makes me think "He truly does think about me..."

[@KristenHoffman]

He really does!

[@thecountrychickadee]

I have one of the butter bells and it is awesome! We love it too! Love your videos! X

[@KristenHoffman]

Thank you!

[@patriciarafter3h]

You are awesome, funny, real and your are a sister in Christ! Great finds and I love your channel! 💗

[@KristenHoffman]

I'm so glad you're here!

[@MiraclesByAnait]

I vote Full tuck and No tuck. They're all great

[@KristenHoffman]

Oh my gosh... I did not read "Full tuck" when I first saw this. 😂

[@janiceforkum3889]

The cardigan and sweaters look great on you! And your right about God providing even the little things we love!💖 Glad I found your channel and can't wait for more videos!!👌😊💕

[@KristenHoffman]

So glad you're here, Janice!

[@Dininodesigns]

ABSOLUTELY KEEP ALL THE SWEATERS!!! They all look fantastic on you.

[@KristenHoffman]

Thank you, Tammy!

[@vickyspiers2835]

I love all your blessings & that you share them with us (strangers) the crocks are super nice & I can’t believe what you paid! Of course all those sweaters look amazing on you & yes the blue definitely makes your gorgeous eyes pop! Thanks & God bless!

[@KristenHoffman]

Thank you! You too!

[@amykirby9225]

I love the free basket!! All the sweaters look great, but my favorite is the 2nd one you tried on and now I’m on the thrift hunt for one like it! Great inspiration & humor & thank you for keeping it real 😊! I enjoy your channel so much.

[@KristenHoffman]

Thank you, Amy!

[@robinalexander8429]

I have found MANY curbside finds.. During lockdown and we couldn;t shop I would just walk my neighborhood as our large trash pickup is Friday,,,I redid a desk and a chair that didn't come from the same house a 4 drawer dresser, a bookcase, and a few small pieces such as wall art that I painted and used other prints in the frames...love the free finds... The picture your neighbor have you was beautiful!

[@KristenHoffman]

Dang, Robin. You scored!

[@janegreene1282]

Hi, Kristen. So glad to hear your testimony about the Lord meeting even our little desires that we have told Him about. And further giving it to you without cost. As I have told you before, we call them "God Nuggets" ( unexpected blessings that God gives us) They are there every day and we don't want to miss them.... Love all the sweaters. Love from Oklahoma. Jane Greene

[@KristenHoffman]

They happen all the time! I want this channel to be an encouragement to others, that God hears our prayers and cares about the things we care about.

[@sherryhudson9075]

All of the sweaters are cute on you.... you find great deals!

[@KristenHoffman]

I live for a good deal!

[@emiliadonoghue6770]

I just found your channel and you are adorable! Love the little testimonies you throw in.

[@KristenHoffman]

Girl, my life is FULL of them. God is so good!

[@carolwhite8472]

Kristen, if you love the style of the pea green chair, you need to check out the Annie Sloan KZbin videos on chalk painting fabric on chairs. There are many, many videos on painting upholstered furniture on KZbin! We are getting ready to chalk paint two wing chairs we have had for over 40 years. I think it would be a good option if you love the style of the chair, but are not wild about the color. Also, you might want to do some research on Roseville pottery, some of it is very collectible. I love your videos, and I wish you a smooth transition in your upcoming move!

[@KristenHoffman]

I have heard this suggestion from some others as well! I'll have to look up some info on the pottery. Thank you!

[@larag1764]

Such a fun video. I love it when people get a bargain ! Thanks for showing us those beautiful items. Yay for thrifting, buying secondhand, hand-me-downs and other ways to save whilst giving your home personality. Hi from Australia 🇦🇺

[@KristenHoffman]

Hey Lara! A collected home always feels the coziest to me!

[@angelbadkins1]

I love all your finds! Those Sweaters are beautiful on you. And what a sweat joy it is to find exactly what you were looking for on the side of the road. God put it there just for you! He is so good to his children! I also love those Bentwood chairs! What a great deal you got ans to end up selling the ones you didn't need... so cool! I'm loving your videos ans how real and genuine you are. Thanks for sharing with us! ❤❤❤

[@KristenHoffman]

Thank you for being here, Angel!

[@Kcas1507]

[@KristenHoffman]

[@KristenHoffman]

[@happypace9414]

I've been saying it for years- my God is also a God of shopping. He provides our needs and plenty of our wants! I think you look great in green. I love how you think you are a dork, but you are actually gorgeous and cool! 🤩😍

[@KristenHoffman]

I can't help it. The dorkiness just comes out!

[@raphaellelaberge1281]

All the finds are so good. Those sweaters look beautiful on you Kristen. The best part of the video was listening to Ivy cooing and giggling in the background. She brought me joy!💜 P.S. I love the thrift finds too. It makes me excited to see your excitement. The Lord does provide when we trust and ask!

[@KristenHoffman]

She's such a peach! God has certainly blessed us, and we are so thankful!
