[@WayneSmith]

A raccoon dressed up like a skeleton eating a pumpkin.

[@miapark9748]

Crayon specifically a orange crayon 😂

[@doubleotutorials]

Corn

[@LuluLovesRollerDerby]

I’m making a Queen Bouncilia costume for my 6year old. Lol

[@Gus.Martin.Rollerblading]

👹

[@emilykirk1078]

“Slightly spooky adjacent items that aren’t specifically Halloween but, like, could belong in a witch’s house” is my entire decor aesthetic year round

[@tammarastephens3728]

Same here! Sugar skulls & weird witchy do-dads all over 365

[@Sleipnirseight]

THIS 🖤🖤🖤

[@DANIxDANGER]

Yes. Lol so is mine. My coworkers literally thought my living room was a downloaded background on our zoom meetings until one noticed a candle's flame was actually moving 😂

[@daisyd90]

Possibly slipped into Miss Havisham's house? My total aesthetic 😂

[@michelalvarez637]

I love this

[@sock6178]

Spooky thrifting is something I crave deep within my soul. I think it's the goblin within me.

[@KathleenIllustrated]

the gremlinz who get it, get it

[@Hazelaulait]

When I was little my late aunt would dress up in her clown attire and volunteer at events that happened in our local park. All the kids loved her and she would always have those little strawberry candies that she would pass out to the kids, it was a great time

[@haleykirkseygraham]

This is so sweet. Thank you for sharing this! :)

[@EileenMeehan-q4g]

I’ve been leaning into Miss Frizzle lately. White shirt and black cardi from my closet, Amazon circle skirt with planets, hair up and crazy. Comfy and fun.

[@slh9246]

Ok, I was looking through iSpy books last night and lightbulb! Could you do a thrift challenge for outfits inspired by the iSpy books? I mean... there's clowns in there.

[@Gus.Martin.Rollerblading]

I am so glad I decided to wear my spookiest pumpkin shirt today 🎃It's always a VIBE with Kathleen!

[@pearlspear2922]

screaming boy vase w a dahlia!!! brings unparalleled joy and maybe a skosh of fear

[@au_barb]

That macrame? witch is the best Halloween decoration I have ever witnessed. 😍

[@selqui]

I just love your witchy knotty friend - and would like to suggest MACRAMADAME MIM as her name. The flag could look really pretty as a table cloth too, or a curtain with café clips. You are amazing, Kathleen, I feel so happy every time I see there's something new to watch!

[@saraluckhardt3927]

"The Ring thrift flip" 🤣OMG I would have loved to see that. When are you ever gonna find a tiny well again?? This thrift trip was especially unhinged I loved it

[@ellieinBG]

Every time ghost choir starts to play it just brings me joy! That's for making it spoopy up in here.

[@lilacsunset3848]

I’m still stuck on the giant sign that just said EGG

[@KathleenIllustrated]

yeah i'm with you on that one LOL

[@seanaepley3180]

Repainting those book vases spooky would have been super cool!

[@spikednutmeg]

Quick correction note of love from NC/TN: Appalachia/Appalachian is pronounced with a hard "ch." You can remember it this way, "If you mispronounce Appalachia, I'll throw an apple at cha." The entomology of the name is bizarre and a fun rabbit hole to go down. Also, I too find myself dressing like a boy I'd have a crush on in middle school. It's a vibe.

[@emmettvictor]

Those corndles are amazing 🕯️

[@margiepickle]

My roommate’s shitzhu mix is going as Paddington (found a the perfect blue coat on Facebook marketplace!) and I’m making a marmalade sandwich costume out of felt for her cat. It’s gonna be so cute and stupid

[@KathleenIllustrated]

cute & stupid is the most powerful combo!!!!! send me pix if you don't mind/forget!!! :o)

[@juniperjr2017]

I saw some cursed dolls/puppets at the thrift store today and totally thought of you 😂. I purchased a dinosaur printed boilersuit and I can't wait to wear it.

[@maya-gur695]

Thank you for this video, Kathleen. I'm not American and I don't celebrate Halloween, but I need escapism right now.

[@MLiesel]

@maya-gur695 I hope that things get better soon, and I wish you well!

[@maya-gur695]

@@MLiesel Thank you!

[@lexyhigginbotham5205]

I have a cow print pit/collie and I've always wanted to do pastel goth strawberry milk farmer duo

[@aquaaurora2747]

My thrift store organizes Halloween/autumnal things together near the front and jack(-o-lantern)s up price this time of year. But there was a pumpkin-esc basket in their bountiful basket area. You may not notice it at first glance but it is. The bands of thin wood strips layer vertically give a slight hint of the thick ridges and recessed grooves, and it tapers in ever so slightly at the top. I snatches it for $2 (its a big basket) and have my small live pumpkins nestled in it/overflowing out of the top. 5:23- immediately think "mod to be a Doctor Who weeping angel"

[@emmalovescats]

this channel brings me SO MUCH joy. I love your little trinkets you find it makes me wanna go thrifting 😆😆

[@megdrummond-wilson824]

I giggled at 'cook some bakies' 🎃

[@beepwrld]

is the orange hat costume spinelli from recess🫣🫣

[@KathleenIllustrated]

👀😤

[@anayaart]

4:57 OMG i'm F-ing crying at this SO FREAKING HARD!! I just can't🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@KathleenIllustrated]

🐸 LOL

[@MelliaBoomBot]

What a giggle that was. 🖤.. hallowe’en costume for me this year just a black midi dress with a stars and moons pattern. But I did have lonesome bat roosting in my eaves which fluffed up my heart🦇⭐️🌙⭐️

[@maureenmunro2826]

The vintage black and white bowl f you flip it over it looks like an eyeball!🤣 👁️

[@simpulacra]

omg wait I had a cat pumpkin candle like that as a child! that thing is probably over 20 years old. I want it so badly 🤩 lmao

[@Midnightpigeon666]

Come on people!! Let’s get our stinky Queen to 60K!!! 🎃🎃🎃🎃

[@KathleenIllustrated]

!!!! 😚 !!!! our community is so BIG AND STRONGGGG!

[@Midnightpigeon666]

Go team!! We did it!! 🥰 Congratulations Kathleen! We’re here for you.

[@obscurepizza]

i will be waiting with pen and paper ready to take NOTES for next week’s video!! my office goes so hard for halloween, and last year i was the only loser in business casual 😅

[@_gigigalore]

You can make some really cute simple candle holders with clay if you don't find any!! 👻🧡🎃🦴

[@LizardBrick]

2:44 very relatable. Teenagers scare the living daylights out of me.

[@kristinab8326]

Dear Kathleen, thank you for being you 🧡👻🎃

[@kyootkitteh]

I’ve never heard a KZbinr say before that they wouldn’t want to have a million subscribers, and I gotta say, it’s a pretty refreshing thing to hear!

[@samanthahunter4176]

I remember when witchy and magical items were so hard to find and we mult ipurposed items in our circles. Now witchy and magical items are tendy, available and at a good price or better yet thrifted, my Witch heart flutters

[@jereneroses]

My local thrift stores have been such a bust with quirky & fun Halloween decorations, so thank you for this video so I can live vicariously through your fun finds, this was one of my favorite comfy vids from you! Also, that outfit with the orange set with the Halloween vest?! ALSO one of my favs! 😍

[@Rowan.Evander]

Same! They skipped Halloween entirely and went straight to Christmas. It's been really disheartening for us goblins!

[@Wheezywatches]

The staircase is giving rocky horror on broadway. Even Kashi gets the haunted vibes.

[@sophie-fn3qo]

as someone else with bangs, brown hair, and glasses, daria is always my quick back up

[@HalleJade.K]

I will now always say “cook some bakies” oml 😂

[@tammarastephens3728]

I love punny costumes. Last year i was Smartie Pants PhD. Glued smarties to a pair of old plaid pants, button down with a bow tie. Cheap & easy

[@thestephaniedraws]

I had that little black and purple bat candle when I was a kid!!! It was my favorite! 🖤🦇

[@make725daily1]

This video is undeniably motivating! -- "Progress results from persistent effort.."

[@haleykirkseygraham]

I think the good thing about not having a lot of storage space is that you can more easily figure out what is really important to you to keep! I LOVE your Happy Halloween banner! That is such a great find.

[@sarahkinsey5434]

And learn how to get creative with furniture, shelving, things that double as storage like ottomans, etc

[@tinado8303]

I was thinking the cookbook cookie jars could be painted over as (hear me out) spellbooks!

[@lonnielove8452]

I was going to do Morticia Monday and Pageant Winner Barbie on Tuesday in the office.

[@BassMusicCompilations]

My favorite costume so far was Mother Nature. I got an ivory colored dress from the Halloween section on clearance. I clipped on birds and sewed on leaves an flowers (all from the days I worked at a craft store) and made a circlet of leaves for my head. I'm still gearing up to be the Headless Horseman one of these days.

[@crazygossipgurl101]

I’m going to be a jester for Halloween but I’m a bit behind on the sewing cause i went to renfaire last weekend 😬

[@hexxicy]

The energy of this video is unmatched. There's no word for it. But I've never seen this exact energy before.

[@KathleenIllustrated]

this halloween season really does something to my mind, body and soul 🎃

[@Quathryn]

Top tier thrift finds. Corn candles??? C'mon. Incredible.

[@miapark9748]

Kathleen is so quirky love her ❤

[@Cynnful_Designs]

def gonna join the subscriber train! loved everything about this video 💕💕 - for the question, i have a few costumes, but the one that i am making this year instead of having the items for already is a decora style alien 👽💚🌌

[@airportcat]

the corns are so good🌽🌽

[@2020Dumpsterfire]

Nothing says thrift store like “I hate them both but I wanted to show you.”

[@AliFinNoble]

My boyfriend and I are going as psychedelic Alice and the mad hatter. Thrifted everything and all I have to do now is tie-dye my apron and his vest!

[@CarlyGarzaArt]

The witch is ICONIC

[@kellytimms129]

Girls just want to have fun playing in your background is priceless!!!!

[@silkandsticks]

Love me some slightly spooky home decor - especially the cursed witch wall hanging. Amazing ❤

[@slh9246]

Is that grey creepy vase with the open mouth Grendel?

[@haileyspivey7629]

Just going to continue to watch a ton of your videos in hopes to develop a dollop of your personality

[@amandabiz]

Congratulations on 60k!!!! 😊

[@meellerr]

I went the the oddities and curiosities expo this weekend! I also didn't come out with anything but this amazing vintage sewing box that I can't believe no one bought!

[@PrettyThriftyToys]

Ahh! I have those first two candles you showed from the bag! The ghost with the arm..on the bottom said Big Lots for me..but vintage

[@meganechan720]

Louie Zong music fits your vibe so well!

[@annkirker3937]

That was spooktacular 👻 🧟‍♀️ 🧛‍♂️

[@rebeccafish7220]

Our pup is a couch hippo all year round 😂 Halloween is a favorite

[@ariellasapphire]

I’m dressing up as Greg from Over the Garden Wall! 🎃🍂Crafting his teapot 🫖 hat and searchin the thrift stores for a dang frog 🐸

[@emmy8526]

The sustainability Insta account livekindly 'helped themselves' to your haunted painting idea. Literally the same starter picture.

[@cosmicf3rn]

Also, I have a plastic snake skeleton in my living room that’s supposed to be a Halloween decoration, but he’s always there hanging out :D

[@alicemuguet6947]

My fav halloweem costume I've done is Loonette from the big comfy couch

[@courtneydrummond7738]

Our 13 year old sweet mutt is going to be Chewy. ❤

[@k.bart.parkinglot]

I wish I could double subscribe for that house tour because I did kinda tear up a bit when I saw those stairs

[@nefertitimontoya]

The egg sign after watching lucy livin's costume video where she indeed dresses as an egg 😂

[@julieh1880]

11:43 hey cool find i think this is a ceramics piece from Studio arhoj in Copenhagen !

[@lizaleaves]

That smoky jug looks like Whistler from Adventire Time. Can’t unsee it!

[@Heyitsjenae]

My puppy and I were Bee-Witched last year (pup was a bee 🐝 and I was a witch 🧙‍♀️) 🎃👻🐈‍⬛🧡🖤

[@thewrongtrousers2]

The black gloved hand on that tiny ghost friend

[@faeriefire78]

4:11 It's a little funky, but I kind of love it and was actually thinking about getting it. 😂 I thought that was brand-new in Target this year from the John Derian collection. Guess the previous owner hated it too, lol.

[@cheym6254]

Congrats on hitting 60k!!! ❤️

[@belindabarbour382]

60K subscribers! Yay, you go girl! Also, what happened to the cute little ghost lights from last year. They were the most sweet little guys!

[@kaitlinsenter1456]

Honestly, I feel so validated every time you express your fear of teens. Unfortunately I am a parent & one will live with terrifying teens

[@Tackleboys]

Sees rocking chair and says “Oo that looks comfy” “That looks like a comfy chair” appears on screen 😂

[@FabiolaRVela]

You’re so entertaining and fun, I love your style. I’m glad I found your channel ❤😂. I’m binge watching your vids 🎃 👻!

[@KathleenIllustrated]

aw! thanks for being here!!!

[@jamielozano6195]

I'm dressing as Howl from Howl's moving castle! I'd love to see other Ghibli characters (also my dog Bear will be dressing as an angel bc he is a little white dog, makes him easy to put wings on

[@kslaney4161]

Not gonna lie, was kinda hoping the goose friend would make it home because of the pumpkin orange feet but alas, his time for freedom will come one day.

[@soupnoodle5909]

I can’t decide whether I wanna be a clown or vampire (or in the transformation process, like Lucy in Dracula) because I could do both with the same outfit, just different accessories and makeup

[@jjenniferr91]

Great candle score !! You'd make a great Lonette the clown 🤹‍♀️

[@katec9893]

I really think you could do stand up comedy, I'm laughing out loud over here in England! You're hilarious 😂 And I might be wrong but I think that cornucopia was stuffed with the foam stuff florists use?

[@tinasbeans]

My favorite books to cake are boopies!

[@emilybourget4515]

Watching this just as you hit 60,000 subs! Congratulations and happy spoopy season :)

[@FunkyKoolThreads]

LMAO you laying on the rocking chair I died!! Friend I am you, you are me 😂

[@pearlspear2922]

[@fettucinelimbs]

maybe not so much a thrifting project, but ms. frizzle is a fun diy project!! i'm going as her this year, and making the dress has been so fun :]

[@green.bean.]

The stairs are my fave!❤

[@loissage3630]

I had a Sheltie that was afraid of his own shadow but he would hunt snakes and bite them in half. He was a silly love.. Kashi, will be an adorable dust bunny! ❤❤

[@survivalsilk2101]
