Oh my goodness I see a Hallmark movie in this lol The rugged man (the fisherman) figurine comes to life and sweeps the beautiful reseller off her feet!! Lol

[@hollyarmstrong2293]

lol Hallmark really needs to pick this up.

[@mommaof4lillambs]

@@hollyarmstrong2293 exactly!! Lol

[@ritamason3765]

,I hope you staying u tube forever. You are very entertaining and smart. I learn a lot from you. And you make me laugh. Thank you Karen

[@JuliaSophia52]

I loved going thrifting with you in this video. What I love most about all your videos is the care, love, and respect you have for the items you source. There are so many fantastic reseller channels but it saddens me when the refer to the items as 'junk' or 'crap'. I love to shop and get excited to find little goodies or as I call them my treasures. I could shop all day too. More shopping videos please.

[@lindamasson6885]

The fisherman head reminds me of the one in the Gorton fish n chips commercials..

[@annahennessey6999]

Me too. The Gortons fisherman!

[@katinahoffman5548]

That’s what came to mind for me as well.

[@MYLOVELYBOOKNOOK]

And this is why I prefer you over Crazy Lamp Lady (don't get me wrong, I love her too!). You pick up a variety of things, weird looking ones, some that you love, some that you don't even know the use for! It's nice to not always see glassware / ceramic ^^

[@FarmGurlScavengerNoel]

The little brass canister you thought was for stamps is for toothpicks. They are shaken out and then they don't have to be touched 👩‍🌾🤗💖👩‍🌾

[@lavenderclothesline]

FarmGurlScavenger Noel that’s what I thought! But the holes aren’t big enough for toothpicks 🤔

[@FarmGurlScavengerNoel]

The toothpicks they would have used would have been the tiny little flat ones, not the round pointy end fat ones..does that make sense 🤔👩‍🌾

[@lavenderclothesline]

FarmGurlScavenger Noel ohhh!! Thank you! 😘💜

[@tammygarrett9261]

If you tip it over the lid would fall off.

Clydesdale's are known for pulling the Anheuser Bush wagon from St Louis Mo,they are born and raised there.Their tails are put in a bob for show to help show off their massive body, Clydesdale's in the horse world are known as "gentle giant's". I've been a horse lover all my life.

[@kris.mac.]

because you select such a wide variety of things, i really enjoyed watching you thrift. More thrifting videos like this please :)

[@lavenderclothesline]

kris mac im really going to try! Most days the music in the store is too loud

[@bluegirl777]

The Igloo is a mini fridge. I love that you did a thrift with me. So fun! 😀

[@nanettechristie7106]

I would have put it in my cart then done a little research. I don't always research. Depends on the cost, condition, and my mood. :)

[@annadembowska1160]

Nice thing

[@paraleezappa5882]

I would say it holds newspaper or magazines,notebooks of plans in a notepad.

[@beckyburns1981]

I'm careful with wood items from certain areas-- due to termites. I've put items in the freezer before, to make sure none survive!

[@fayeroberson8247]

You would cry if you saw our Goodwill....you are a blessed woman to be able to have great items to chose from. Here in Alabama we have awful thrift store. It is hit or miss. Wow I wish I could thrift like you do. Great video!

[@joanierobbins9015]

I so appreciate your sharing what works for you. You are so sweet and kind and have a keen sense of what should bring in a good profit. I have a small ebay store and can only hope to do a third of what you do. I work 2 part time jobs and ebay is my fun 3rd job. Wish I could only concentrate on reselling. Maybe someday! You have really inspired me and I have been talking about you to friends and family. Thanks again!!

[@elhe9098]

You are not fast and crazy in the aisles, but you are calm and collected! The fisherman's head is chalkware - Great detail, beautifully made.

[@pamwerren1458]

I agree, don't think she went fast at all.

[@elizabethfoward9027]

I Ioved thrifting with you. Your voice sounded like my inner dialogue as I walk up and down the aisles haha. You chose very beautiful items.

[@coastalresellers1459]

Love your videos. You have the sweetest voice! TY for your share & info. Great Job!

[@cheriebrittin7627]

Loved the ceramic cheese 🧀 plate with the mouse 🐭, adorable! So glad you picked it up! Great shopping video Karen. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@barbaraperkovic1996]

Your fisherman is a Bosson head made in England. Plasterware.

[@jojoply]

Barbara Perkovic I sold some 12 years ago for good money.. unfortunately the comps are terrible now.

[@catfunksfabulousfinds]

He looks like the Gordon fisherman on the frozen fish commercial.

[@lindabullock6159]

I love this video and shopping with you. You picked up some interesting items. I bet they do well. Great channel Karen. 💗

[@wendymontgomery3937]

Love your shop with me videos best! Great finds!

[@terratwotwo]

I absolutely loved seeing your thrift shopping! What fun and such a large store 😍

[@jschmidt133]

Love shopping with you and learning!

[@Meekavintage]

that was SOOO much FUN to shop along with YOU !!! Comical AF ,so much knowledge & quick to the point ..

[@nanettechristie7106]

I love, love the way you shop! Gut instinct purchasing. Carry it around then take another good look at it. I shop the same way. Moving from the clothes to the hard goods is a must. It gives you eyes and mind a chance to switch gears and focus on something else. Then go back with fresh eyes or to see if anything was added if they were stocking merchandise. Your comments on items are also quick and thoughtful.

[@yahuahschild5851]

Hello, I love watching your videos I was selling a few years back but my husband left me and I just sorta quit living I stay at my sons now and just watch the birds! You are giving me incentive to go for the gusto again! So y son is gonna help me get set up again so thx for the incentive to reclaim my life!

[@staceykasha2330]

Another inspiring, fun video!😍 keep them coming!! That kindling box is gorgeous, I don’t know how you would tell if it’s the real deal either 🤷‍♀️ I also look at the natural wood first, love it for decorating!

[@jaclynisaacs6763]

I love your videos! I just started watching yesterday and can’t stop

[@cynthiawaldorf9353]

The last item, the kindling box was beautiful! Wouldn't it be great if it was an antique. You have a fabulous eye Karen. Its great fun going with you when you do your shopping! Thanks for all you hard work! Take care of you!

[@restylesecrets8251]

Abercronbie & Fitch used to be a company that sold outdoor gear and clothing for very rich outdoorsmen. When The Limited bought it in the 80's everything changed LOL. So vintage coasters from the original A&F company could indeed be very collectible. My most significant memory of A&F is that Charles Emerson Winchester III on the M*A*S*H TV series ordered long underwear from them in the Korean War.

[@lavenderclothesline]

Restyle Secrets thanks so much!!😘💜

[@paulinag8359]

Love your Videos!!!!! I learn so much from you and I love your attitude! It has made me seen my reselling business so much different!

[@zoecarp8304]

The DT item made me LOL! You are inspiring me to go to thrift stores, however in my area there is not much good stuff and Goodwill charges high prices for their clothes, e.g. $ 4.97 for a women's top.

[@janiceboling]

I love those clay Italian stove eye covers and other items you pick. This was a fun video. Thanks!

[@kathleenwilson5302]

It was enjoyable to shop with you. Your unique items were a lot of fun. You have a great store to source from. I've never been in a thrift store that large. I would probably go crazy in there.😆

[@deloracomfort8960]

Please do more of these shopping video. So interesting to hear what you say about things. My Goodwill is reallly sparce compared to yours.

[@wheebebop3602]

I loved the talk over cookies ai Melissas and I'm glad you added the shopping footage. I really enjoyed it. It is awesome that you make the living you do. Wish I were 20 years younger.

[@thethriftynickel8745]

The clydesdale has a "docked" tail. It is common in the draft breeds due to the fact that they are/were primarily used for driving and the reigns are less likely to get caught under the tail. (Life-long horse owner of 40+ years😊). Breyer horses can be collectible.

[@lesliebutler1862]

I just love your videos. You have such a great eye!

[@debbiemalina]

You shop the way I would love to shop if I only had the space to store items! You have a great eye for neat things and the place you shop has very very reasonable prices! My goodwill has over priced items which make it hard to buy and resell at a decent price! Thanks for taking us along it was fun!

[@floppybob1121]

No wonder you have amazing finds...look how huge that hardware section is!!!

[@jenn7753]

Floppy Bob They just expanded that store and the hard foods really are amazing now!

[@tristatepickermom6895]

Loved the "thrift with me".

[@HulaShack1]

That place is amazing! The ones in my area are junk stores. I loved seeing you thrifting!!! Great video!

[@estherriker1332]

Love today's video. Please do more! Maybe the thingy is a toothpick holder.

[@Erin-thornycrown7]

5 minutes in and I have to comment. I love seeing videos that include a 'shop with me' portion. I love hauls but it is easy to forget how much someone needs to look at to find the gems. Keep up the great work!

[@naznow]

I love the owl, Karen!

[@angiegalvez2418]

Hi Karen, You should do more of these episodes. It was so much fun!😊

[@debb4263]

Great video and would love to have a thrift store like that near me! There is one large GW we visit every few weeks, but I haven’t been there without being scolded or yelled at (lol), so when I saw you pick something up from the cart to be put out I expected someone to appear telling you to put it down! 😂. The first time we went my daughter also had her cart piled high and decided at the end, they had the security guard hovering near, and the dressing room attendant complaining. I’m always amazed at this, working in customer service for years, but we go because we find our best finds!

[@LosingDrea]

I had a round cheese covered dish with mouse on top that looked so very similar and it had a sticker on the bottom by Lefton. Comps were just $10 and I sild mine on offerup. It was listed a few months before selling. Great shopping and haul video. Thanks Karen

[@helenbaysinger411]

My daughter likes sunflowers, the bowl is awesome!

[@gloryb5513]

B is a a normal width for shoes also marked as (M)

[@thegrownupstable626]

I have all my Bryer horses still from when I was a kid. I'm 50 now!

[@bluegirl777]

I love the wooden owl! I find they sell easily.. even if they aren't worth much.

[@hyacinthbucket3281]

I cannot imagine having a thrift store that large in my area.

[@tammiwaddlethisoldwomansvi5400]

Love this video. What a store!

[@jenn7753]

I was at that Goodwill the day before you were. I almost bought that cheese and mouse tray for myself but put it back because I just have too much stuff! I loved it though! The whole time I was walking around I was thinking “I wonder what Lavendar” would pick up? lol I saw several other things you got while I was there, so cool! I wish I had seen the boxer Christmas tree, that was definitely not out when I was there!

[@Picasocat]

Love those tea bags!

[@makinbacon3467]

Love your videos. The wood grain on kindling basket, is quite wide suggesting a very old large tree. Possibly older the 30 years

[@nhlibra]

Haha, That Michelin Man would be funny in the back window of a car, if the person buying it could anchor it down and if it didnt interfere with viewing cars behind. It reminds me of the cow that our grandparents had in that spot years ago when I was growing up.

[@JacksMomPat]

Hi Karen. you are such fun, thanks for a great video! Cheers, Pat

[@lavenderclothesline]

Pat Conte 💜😘

[@malibubelle]

Love watching you thrift great, great addition to your video's. Our GW is terrible but they just opened up a brand new huge Volunteers of America thrift store. My 8 yr old son and myself opened up an Ebay store in October. He is helping thrift , we go every week together. I shop like you but I need to learn more about finding clothing. I find I don't have time to sift through the clothing most of the time.

[@tammiekhula493]

That is a huge store! I wish ours was that big. Electric footstool, never seen one of those before.

[@oliveluevano7748]

The little brass item is toothpick holder. Love your shirt and Love your videos as always 🙂

[@4ususieq]

Loved it!!

[@katiem1716]

That blue round thing you thought was a tray is actually a picture frame. My mom has a few of those in red with old family photos in them. I think she probably purchased them in the 90’s.

[@judyharris1983]

Your professionalism and intellect with personality is appreciated.

[@lavenderclothesline]

Judy Harris you’re so kind!! 💜💜

[@kathyaldridge7171]

Hey Karen, I like the speed in which you pushed that cart! BTW, brown is my least favorite color, too! I have always wondered why anyone would decorate a bathroom in brown and yellow, but some people do it!

[@treasurerescue8885]

I think you are exactly right on the toleware kindling box. You can see the inside bottom is shiny, if it were 100+ years old that would be scratched and worn. But is beautifully done and worth big $. Happy hunting!

[@shoppemod9189]

Brass container depending on age, would keep a powder in it then sprinkle it on a signature or stamp to ensure it dries.

[@wanderwoman5558]

The wooden wood box....may certainly be antique. As the light shone across the inside i saw what looked like hand chiseled , carved tool marks. Did it sell? And what price? One of the BEST hard goods I've seen you find!!!!

[@clg46cardsnmore8]

I actually have that same vintage Vintage Bosson Chalkware Head/Fisherman I had picked up at a thrift store. I really liked the look too

[@tammygarrett9261]

Those tea cup hanging around people! 😊😊😊

[@misskelli222]

My grandfather used to have that same fisherman head along with a whole collection at his camp. My daughter used to live the Breuer horses and any horses

[@stitchhousecreations4082]

I’m headed to the bins tomorrow hoping it won’t be crowded because of Black Friday in search of some resell treasures. My local Salvation Army is half off tomorrow also 😊 It’s going to be a fun day! Enjoyed your haul! Great finds!

[@FatBirdFinds]

That was a fun haul!!! I actually love the little teak duck, even if he isnt all that valuable! Let us know how much he brings!

[@lisat6977]

Love your videos! I had to quick pause at 0:08 to answer the phone... lol... check it out! looks like you are yelling at the fisherman head. Guess the honeymoon ended quickly! LOL Thanks for all your work to provide these videos!

[@andreacolwell6975]

That telavera vase is beautiful

[@TheAntiqBoutiq]

I thrift the exact same way! A good day is being able to hit 2 in one day or even 3 - from 9 to 9!!

[@homelifetogether6781]

I lost the episode I was watching where you found these at Goodwill, but you shop just like me! I stay for hours at one place and put everything in my cart to go through at the end. After checking for flaws and desirability and profit margins my last test is “am I excited about listing it?” Love your videos! Great inspiration!❤️

[@cnoles5641]

Im so jealous you have such a HUGE thrift store! lol We have a lot of thrifts here in Atlanta but nothing as big as yours. Great finds!

[@debrashulman362]

Also the Tiki figure from Bora Bora reminds me of the Moai on Easter Island! (those giant statues)

[@judewishedhimselfout]

I used to collect those horses when I was a kid back in the late 70's.

[@eve_evescollection]

Hi Karen, nice haul! Your Fisherman looks like Bossons Chalkware from England. Usually goes for around the $30 mark on eBay.

[@larryboysen5911]

Love that Michelin Tire Man and his dog...great piece. No frogs??? I'm a frog fan...first things I look for. Item no. 3 could be a holder for fragrant crystals. Like I said...that Michelin Man is cute!

[@mindymark4098]

I love watching you and hope to someday get to your level.

[@lynfairbairn]

The small brass container with holes could be what they would put water in and sprinkle on clothes while ironing, before the steam iron. Other than that a ladies vanity Pomander for oils, lavender etc The Trump is for sure a dogs chew toy. Wooden basket does look like a kindling carrier or a wool/knitting basket to sit beside a chair. All great pick ups🐨🇦🇺

[@viviansmith8036]

I used to have that cheese and mouse cheese dish way back I bought it at Pic N Save when my kitchen was yellow and white.

[@joannbaber2670]

in one of your videos in Florida I thought you said you sometimes have 5 carts, that would exhaust me. it is not dizzy until someone goes left to right while going down isle, easier to go down one side and then turn around and go back down the other side, this store is very full compared to my area, PA stores seems to have lots merchandise, great video

[@theweatheredfencepost]

I love the Goodwill's in your area. All the Goodwill's in the Raleigh area of NC have very limited hard goods. Most only have the outside walls of the stores dedicated to hard goods and the majority and center of the stores are for clothing. So basically there are only 2 to 3 rows of hard goods as 1 to 2 outside walls are the the checkout counters and artwork. It's pretty discouraging.

[@debrashulman362]

Hi. I think your last item is a Chinese "Duo" or rice basket, carrier or bucket. It is named after the official rice measure, called a duo. It certainly looks old. Perhaps the decoration was added later to help it appeal to the Western market. They had been in fashion for decoration within the last 20 or so years, so perhaps plain, older, antique duos were "beautified" in this way. They make great storage in family or living rooms. I think you got a great buy!

[@bluewillowvintage3421]

The Tommy bag is nice.

[@nancyshattuck141]

the square, wooden bin with a center handle may be a kindling holder for near the fireplace.

[@vinnydabarber]

That cute Igloo is a refridgerator for facial cleansers, creams etc.

[@elizabethfoward9027]

I would market the Tiki as a book end. Sometimes a single book end is perfect. Stamp holder looks like something you could put potpourri or other fragrance in.

[@kirstenscholz4482]

Hello from Germany 🙂... those horses used to work in the forest , they are bred tall and massive with short tails so that they would not get stuck in the undergrowth :-)

[@wandajuul5150]

I do very well with Ralph Lauren pajamas. They sell quickly and for a good price. Also B width shoes are medium width--same as M.

[@joannecraft-lane8660]

The fisherman head looks like a Toby head. An Air Force officer that I used to work with had a wall full of those from her world travels.

[@vanessahyde9930]

Hey just wondering is you checked around the silver rim if it said sterling or Abercrombie Fitch. It would be print or engraved very small if it does.

[@Susan-xg7qn]

Karen , Thank you for another great video. I am same age group as you, with 5 grown children, so I love doing this to. My problem is deciding if something, no matter what it is, is Vintage ? How do you decide , like the trash can say, you knew it was vintage ? I see so many "vintage" listings from sellers and wonder how many really are. Thanks ! Susan

[@lavenderclothesline]

Susan I think that looking at the design/ construction and condition is the biggest help

[@DonnaVintageSnippets]

Your fisherman is a Bosson Head figurine. He's pretty good looking, isn't he? Your wood box with the flowers is a foreign piece. I see them in antique shops but they are newer. They still command some good prices, though, because they're pretty and they look old.

[@luckysweetheartvintage476]

I recognize that head it’s a Boston...I have matching poodle heads! So cute!

[@joolzg1936]

It's a Bosson Fisherman..

[@lorikaybruski1243]

Fun video as always, alway leaves you looking for more lavender clothesline videos.. Xoxo Lori K.😄 🌷 🌸 🌷 🌸 🌷 🌸 🌷 🌸 🌷 🌸 🌷 🌸

[@christineorozco5431]

I’ve sold the same bosson head before lol. My grandpa used to collect them and had nearly every wall in his house covered in them (the most terrifying thing EVER at night as a little kid). They all got split up between me and my 2 aunts (who also resell on eBay) to sell after he passed. I think he had 3 of the same fisherman ones 😂😂😂

[@cjrobertson8359]

The igloo is a mini fridge!!
