THRIFT WITH ME // finding my *DREAM* item at a swapmeet!!!

[@nancyann3335]

The horse is great! Don’t paint it. It has a lot of character. But you may want to spray a top coat of some sort over it so that the paint doesn’t chip anymore. Like a matte clear coat just to seal it. You can also try to make a lamp out of it if you know someone who can wire it. That would be so cute and unique! Anyway, fun video!💕

[@twinelle]

Oooo gonna look up some top coats rn! Cause it’s flaking quite a bit. The base looks to be a blue color and I actually love that it peeks through!🎠✨

[@ivania321]

@@twinelle maybe a matte finish to not ruin the vintage :D ? it is truly beautiful

[@lisa_wistfulone7957]

I’m glad you left the plus size skirt behind at the theater swap meet. It can be rough for curvy girls to find quality thrift items, so you have their backs when you leave those pieces for them, and choose from the sizes that fill the racks instead.💖

[@livearlyful]

Girl I'm Latinx and a fluent speaker in Spanish but I have accent when I speak so sometimes I get judged by the Latino community there's no winning it be your own people lmaoooo I'm happy you're supporting Latinx businesses though! If I go to socal in the future I definitely wanna to go there 🥹

[@twinelle]

Hahahhaa frrrr! Like they’re always like you gotta practice but are so quick to make fun when we say something wrong😭

[@mogmoogle8183]

The horse for $100 is fantastic! I personally like the aged look, maybe just put a clear coat of spray gloss on top to preserve the cracking paint.

[@twinelle]

I’m gonna do EXACTLY this!!! Y’all convinced me! Plus I don’t think I’m skilled enough to repaint the floral details it has🤣

[@Bluemoony222]

Looove the rustic look on the carousel horse!! I wouldn’t paint it if it was my decision, but such a good find!

[@twinelle]

Nahhhh I actually agree! I think I might just ruin it if I try and paint it!

[@noughtiegirl]

one of the reasons i LOVE your channel so much is you show the true california and all of its history/people. i have so much LOVE for the Latino community. reminds me of the fleam markets me and my family would sell at in the atlanta area. Thank you thank you thank you so much for giving us insight on swap meets. its really cool! hopefully if i ever visit cali, ill def check the meets out.

[@jelllow1526]

I really enjoyed the background info you gave about MacArthur Park and its vendors, and I especially liked learning about the theatre! This was a very fun thrift video 😌

[@soup6646]

I honestly like the worn look of the horse. It gives it a haunted doll house vibe. Keep it that way

[@twinelle]

I was thinking the SAME!!! It also has some floral details on the neck and im fs not talented enough to repaint those lol

[@ivania321]

ghostly victorian was also the black top with the awesome sleeves what a beautiful black dark fairy core top

[@LauXstamp]

@@twinelle yeah keep it like it is! All these little cracks and imperfections tell their own story just like the theater haha

[@HazelBarrera-i3i]

The carousel horse is gorgeous! I love all the pastel colors 🥰 Also I get so self conscious going to swap meets and asking about prices because it really varies on how you look, that’s why I prefer set price piles or racks that already have prices on each clothing 🥹😭

[@twinelle]

Saaaaame!!! Set price piles makes the transaction so easy but sometimes I like to chat it up with the vendor to get a better price😅✨

[@rockyraaacoon]

I grew up here and it hasn’t changed too much, except there used to be more vendors inside the building. In the 90s there were so many vendors in the Westlake theater!

[@twinelle]

Awwwww I could only imagine!!! There’s a ton of foot traffic in the area so kinda sucks that it’s not seen inside the actual swapmeets😢

[@tmmmmmtx8933]

I love when you show off architecture!

[@twinelle]

Hehehe glad I can geek out about it and y’all actually like it!!!😄💗✨

[@salty_katt]

Definitely wasn’t expecting a swap meet video! You got some good stuff and that carousel omg such a steal!! Yeah most vendors get surprised when I speak fluent Spanish 😅 it’s a really good place to get long pleated skirts and that abuelita type of clothes

[@twinelle]

No fr cause why were these swampmeets filled with abuelita clothesss?!?!? I was on the hunt for hoochie mama vibes LOLOL 😂

[@michaelsandoval9353]

Thanks!

[@Moonxgoddess]

I found your channel last night and so far have watched 27 this makes 28 videos! Love love your content and personality! ❤

[@twinelle]

OMFGGG!!! So happy you came across my channel and thanks for taking time to watch and support!😭🥰✨

[@cararichardson7092]

Great video! I loved seeing you highlighting LA vendors and showing off the city!! me and my boyfriend used to spend a lot of time checking out la swap meets

[@ixanaex7268]

the velvet black top??? such a dream

[@twinelle]

RIIIIIIGHT!!!! I just gotta watch a tutorial on how to fit tops cause it's a lil oversized

[@zabelconnor]

Maybe the carousel could be made into a coat/hat rack. Maybe start enquiring with friends whether they know any builders? or see whether you can combine a coatrack with it as your own diy.

[@zabelconnor]

Wow, the cami is perfect on you. And adore that green vest! And the black velvet flarevsleeve!

[@bridgettesitton7018]

The ring is super cute and pretty good price for sterling ❤ I have alot of stores downtown like the ones you were at it's right on the boarder of Mexico I live in South Texas so it's cool so many things are cheaper down town but you also have to be careful they sell alot of fakes but it's so cool when you find the awesome clothes vendors Loved this video Oh and since iam white and my hubby is Hispanic it really makes a difference if he's with me it's so true but iam all for supporting our local stores ❤😊 Xxx loves yall

[@Jilliejakes]

The carousel horse is so neat ! Wow

[@twinelle]

Thank youuuu🎠✨

[@shilohnyce]

Keep the carousel horse 🎠 in its original state! The paint has history and character just like the old movie theater you visited. Maybe just a clear matte coat of paint so it doesn’t chip paint everywhere and seal it up? Great find chica!

[@anhcharizard]

Bruh I’m always waiting for you to post! def my fave thrift KZbinr atm 😩❤❤

[@twinelle]

Ahhhhh thanks so much for the kind words!!!❤❤❤

Such a great field trip!! Plz leave the horsey as is! Maybe just add more bling and LED lights! The top would be a cool place for a table top!! 🥰💖🤍🙌

[@twinelle]

Yuuuuuh everyone is saying to leave it! So I’m not gonna touch it besides maybe adding a round ball to the top of the pole cause it looks a lil unfinished with a flat end😅

[@bridgettesitton7018]

Yes I needed this right now I can't wait to see the dream item 😊❤

[@twinelle]

GIRLLLLLL when I tell you....IM OBSESSED WITH ITTTT! Just looking at my damn horse makes me SOOOO happy!❤❤❤

[@May-nm5lb]

THE HORSE is so CUTTE!!

[@annapfenninger1134]

It's so great that you found a carousel horse 🎠😍 I think I'd repaint it and maybe you could put a lamp on top. besides its cute look, it also has a function✨️

[@supaastarrs]

Hi just wanted to ask where did you get your pants (from this video) I think they are super cute!

[@CoverediCake]

Make sure the horse really are authentic..if it's a remake just paint it..if it's authentic then painting it can lower the value. So beautiful 🎠

[@davidparnell3241]

62 degrees in Phoenix this morning! Highs today 90

Ooof a warm day for you! It's been SOOOO pretty in LA lately. We have a low of 59 and high of 86 today! Hope you're doing well

at 4:02 I am convinced that you might have passed by a green version of the red 'punk' sweater from everything everywhere all at once

[@stepha206]

I think it is

[@ritalynb7070]

I 💕💕 the carousel house in its current state. I is amazing!!! If it was mine I would not repaint it....

[@livibsouthard]

where'd u get the pink ruffle skirt in the haul part

[@elisamaurerbailey2787]

That horse is amazing! Definitely paint it! It deserves it!

[@giuliacacco1526]

The house is beautiful 😍 I don't know if you should paint it though... Maybe do some research so you don't end up ruining it because old wood is really delicate

[@felicitassa]

The rings are good deals if they are silver plated. Nevermind, for Sterling silver is a greater deal

Marshall High School is doing a flea market...looks good. expensive but entertaining none the least lol

[@ellamclaughlin1100]

I agree with everyone, don’t paint the horse! It’s so gorgeous 💛

LOLOL I’m taking everyone’s advice and NOT painting it!🫡🎠✨

[@greggusto]

How did you bring the horse back?!

[@zsanchez95]

When I go to the swapmeet or flea market I don’t go dressed up as a depop fashion girl cause they charge you more. I go in in skinny jeans haha to throw them off

[@dawnrhoads8794]

Was the bracelet you passed on the one with the skulls?

[@twinelle]

Noooo but I did think that one was pretty cool! The one I wanted was a silver metal plate with a heart cutout. I wanted to show it off but her store was tiny and cramped so I felt uncomfy filming. I personally dont wear bracelets so couldn't justify it...maybe for earrings or a necklace but not for a bracelet. ya know what I mean?

[@desireelaird7513]

It's so funny you said that about ghost hunting in that theater. I had shown the clip behind the Christmas tree to my son and he said "Looks haunted. Are they ghost hunting?" Lol! You should do that. It would make for a creepy Halloween video!

[@twinelle]

Lololol girllll I’m such a chicken!!! I personally don’t believe in ghosts but the idea of them scare the crap outta me! I can’t even go to events like Halloween horror nights😭😭😭

[@cozyninos]

Would absolutely cop that spidey button up. Great with jorts & sneakers. Oof yeah latino vendors are a hit or miss when it comes to how accepting they are with americanized chicanos/latinos. Some love to help you along while others turn a stank nose. Asi es la gente, lo importante es que quieres aprender y mejorar. Ademas, ellos pierden el dinero con ese actitud.

That's how they say on the intercom thing on the metro red/purple line and on the bus haha

[@gemma4356]

I don´t think it was expensive compared to new clothes sold on other places or even other thrift stores. And about why they upcharge you, whith the gentrification we are living on America Latina I see why, you may identify as latinx but you also have more privilege than the people living there. I also feel that those kind of markets are always a bit pricer because they have to pay rent and other expenses and at the same time they don´t have too many coustumers, and also the quality most of the time is way better than fast fashion.

[@beepb00ppp]

no harm bartering a bit tbh... let us hear ur bartering skills next hehehe

[@RiddimKingdom]

Just a cute note girl, please don’t refer to women’s ages. It’s really hard out there for “older women”. They get left behind by the patriarchy and are just seen as “older women”, not women. So it’s really important we just refer to them as women ❤
