Loving all the "sh...junk" you got!!! So cool. I love how excited you are over the stuff. Reminds me of me. My kids would literally kill me if I came home with that haul!!!! So fun.

[@carolynratliff1380]

You can make a cute wreath out of those flat hoses……also those pics of flowers would be pretty decoupaged on furniture…

[@debiegordon3787]

LUV the WHITE 3 chairs/2 dressers & cabinet... SWEET PATINA🌺...clean en up & seal w White Wax💜🌺💜OMG that wooden FRAME 😍😍😍...love the large jugs too👍UR going to be one BUSY lady.. Can't wait to see!

[@charlotted6247]

It looks like you found some great items. Lots of fun stuff. You will be busy busy !!! Its always great to see when you put out a new video. Trash to treasure is always great !!! Habe a beautiful week !! 💜💜💜

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Lots of great finds and several Thrift to Treasure videos in the near future! You have a great week too! 🤗

[@kshudson4285]

The container with the orange spray hose handle is for attaching to your hose. You put miracle grow or some such plant food in the container. It mixes with water from your hose and comes out as liquid plant food or fertilizer. Fast way to feed the plants and flowers.

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

I have one of those but this has a different label but I’m sure could be used for the same. Thank you for watching!! 🤗❤️

[@janicepowell6066]

I love that antique hutch behind you!

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Oh thank you!! Something I found for my studio!! I fell in love with it!! ❤️

[@vivianstidham9596]

Oh my gosh, Sonnet, you got some great stuff for incredibly low prices. I feel like the northern part of the U.S. has more reasonable prices at their rummage sales. In the south, people are proud of their junk, I guess. You did great! Enjoy going with your Mom! You are making precious memories. A Nana from Texas.

[@cantocant2346]

Can't wait to see the furniture flips!

[@jackieburnett6881]

The deer were sooo cute!! Wow! You did great! I loved everything!!!

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Thank you!! 🤗❤️

[@margaretmumford7479]

The fork you showed me is for making TOAST on a open fire, best toast ever. X

[@adorablerepurposals6745]

I can’t wait to see what you do with it all!!!! Awesome haul!

[@aseretstudio1724]

Loved watching this! I have not been able to get out since I broke my ankle a month ago; who knows what treasures I missed out on-lol. Thanks for sharing...it was fun to see all your finds!

[@lorrainedalessio5826]

Wow I am drooling😜 you scored big good prices definitely good items👍 my kind of stuff!! Can’t wait to see what you do With it🤗 thank you for sharing😁

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Thank you for watching!! 🤗

[@davelarsen3560]

Awesome 👌

[@margiegarcia-hall6455]

You can attach the ladles to some wood and make bird feeders out of them. Hang it in your yard.

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Great idea!! I love it!! ❤️

[@lorrainewhitlock5377]

I loved watching the deer and her baby that was really sweet. Your video was quite interesting cuz I could never do that now that I am disabled but I did enjoy your video

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Thank you for watching!! 🤗

[@kelseysimpson2453]

That shaft tool when you were going through all your vintage tools for your kitchen is actually a knife sharpener and belongs in an old knife deck so you hold it in one hand and sharpen your knives left and right along the metal piece

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Thanks for the info!!

[@elizabethtassonecuprunneth7882]

I’m from Eagle River 💖. Was excited to find a thrifter from near my home town 🎉

[@gailbutler3310]

What fun!!

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Yes it was!! ❤️

[@kathleenmay6711]

You got some awesome things! Can't wait to see what you do with everything. I did chuckle twice in this video the first was when you said that you were so lucky that your dad had the big trailer for everything. In my mind I was thinking Sonnet’s husband won't be too thrilled! The second time was when you said I probably shouldn't have bought the one box for my nephew. I thought ugh oh Sonnet's bother or sister will not be too thrilled with her on that purchase! Thanks for sharing and making me chuckle ❤️

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Omgosh that is too funny that you mentioned those 2 things!! I actually told the estate sale guy…my husband might kill me 🤣 and when I showed up the next day he says, I see you’re still alive!! 😂 I’m sure my sister-in-law won’t be too keen on the purchases but my nephew had so much fun with me!! Congrats on winning the Barn Quilt Giveaway!! I need your info to ship it…you can email me at [e-mail]

[@stacierisen8870]

Sooo many goodies & so much fun! Looking forward to seeing your makes ♡

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

I can’t wait to start flipping!! It was such a fun weekend!!

[@janicepowell6066]

Can’t wait to see what you do with all this stuff! I love estate sales, I’ve found that in about 1 out of every 10 you hit the jackpot like this one.

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Oh I hope the next is just as good!! But I’m sure it’s whatever they have!

[@marypoole2393]

Great haul enjoyed this video. I’ve became a fan of you and love to see what you do with all of your treasures. Thanks for sharing.❤️

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Thank you!! 🤗❤️

[@donnarunyan210]

[@rachellarsen939]

Wow, you got so many deals

[@jodiemeschke6889]

Looks like a great thrifting day!

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

It was!! I had so much fun!! ❤️

[@wynetteatkins6162]

For reference... the item that came with the kitchen utilities, that has a wooden handle with a long rough metal attached, is for sharpening your serrated knives. The garden tools with the hooks are called cultivators.

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Thank you for the tips!

[@talentonboard2456]

Enjoyed this video. Love the seeing the deer and cute town too. Do you keep track of everything you buy so you know how much profit you make after flipping including your time spent? Love how real you are.

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Thank you!! 🤗 Yes I keep track of everything! It’s important to charge enough for your product!! Thanks for watching!!

[@nanagigi1162]

Awesome finds. Loving the items from the first and last stops.. Have a Wonderful Day.

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

I had so much fun and I agree!! Those were my favorite finds too!!

[@maryw6498]

Lots of great finds! I see lots of Orbs @ 1400 mark

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

You did see little orbs. I was videotaping right when a storm rolled in and it became very dark outside and my lighting picked up on dust that was coming off the pieces as I was unboxing. I noticed as I was editing the video the next day.

[@valeriecraftkitover4944]

You scored!.....Great items....

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Thank you!! 🤗

[@anitabarker3125]

Wow what a haul. Loved what you got and looking forward to seeing how you fix it up.

Love your videos! You found a lot of great goodies! I keep telling myself that I need to go to more estate sales. You're giving me hope 😀

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Thank you!! 🤗 I had so much fun that I want to find another!!

[@margaretrose8105]

I just discovered your channel..love it. You are good..you see something, you see the possibilities and go with it. Great job !

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Thank you!! 🤗❤️

[@cabinfevercrafts1439]

That some kind of tool in the basket looks like a knife sharpener. You would draw the knife edges across it in a certain way and it gives the sharpest edge ever.

[@dragonfly00013]

That was an awesome haul!

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Thank you!! 🤗

[@Nancy-ii5yo]

Wow! you really got some great stuff.

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

I’m so excited to start flipping it!!

[@lindaheeren6004]

Miss the north woods. I used to Live in Wausau. Always went to Woodruff camping. Now live in Austin tx. Ty enjoyed the video

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

I’ve been to Austin, TX and went to a piano bar that was fun! Thank you for watching!! 🤗

[@MsJet1]

You got some great things!

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Thank you!! 🤗

[@re-thriftjunkie8253]

Sonnet, didn’t Julie use those flutes tops to make candlestick tops??? If you are making risers, I am intrigued how you will do it! Thank you for your inspiration!

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

I saw them and they were $1 and thought let me try it!! I’m going to go back and rewatch and See if I can change it up a bit!! Thanks for watching!! ❤️🤗

[@karonwostenholme6533]

Great video. .. great fineds

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Thank you!! 🤗

[@donnabedker9732]

The tool with wooden handle and real long pointed steel is a whetstone to sharpen knives. The previous video white kitchen tool you thought maybe juicer is a potato ricer.

[@tarynkriebel319]

I have an old lunchbox like that, can’t wait to see what u do with it!

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

It was in one of my recent videos…I loved the look so much I couldn’t paint it!!

[@AhmedAliNizamani]

Very Nice dear good Big Likes from Explore & Learn How To.

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Thank you!

[@deanna777]

That was so fun! I've had the same experiences. My first estate sale was priced way too high and i didn't buy anything. The second one wasn't as good as yours but it was much better. I wonder if you bend the large metal spoons just a bit, you could put a succulent in it. Then just hang them on the wall.

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Great idea on the spoons!! I’m addicted to estate sales if they all are like that!! So fun!!!

[@shirleyarmour5156]

The white and red ladle is actually a dipper country folks used it in a bucket of water that had been drawn from a well

[@shirleyarmour5156]

This is what they drank from

[@marionhiggins6371]

Awesome finds make me want to go yard saling

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

I love a good rummage!! Thank you for watching!! 🤗

[@kshudson4285]

The long tool that you didn't know what it is - is a 'steel' for knife sharpening. Good sets of knives came/come with them.

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Good to know!! Thank you for watching!! 🤗❤️

[@ignatiussowa676]

OMG you found such great stuff. Recently a friend & I hit 18 thrift stores in one day (Greenville, SC) area. Although we found some great stuff you found considerably more than we did. Makes me want to come to your area.

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Omgosh 18 in 1 day!!!! That is awesome!!!

[@alpacabydesign]

The prices were great.

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

I know!! I love finding a good deal!

[@dottyhudson5837]

The fake wooden trough would be cool with the cement paint finish.

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Another great idea!! I’m thinking of doing it!!

[@sherryg7722]

Wanted to let you know the implement you pulled from your large basket that had a wood handle with long, metal and straight skewer is a sharpener. I've never seen one that long but I never quit learning. First time to see you in the videos and I really enjoyed it. God bless and happy upcycling. Sherry from Alabama.

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Thank you for watching and the tips!! 🤗 I never quit learning either! I always like trying something new or learning something I didn’t know!!

[@melvaallen2774]

That long screwdriver is used to go down in hard to reach places when working on vehicles

[@forthehaulofit]

What good junk for you! LOL Looking forward to seeing how it all turns out. Just an idea for the 2 large ladles, could you bend them into feet and use the cups as holders for a cutting board or piece of wood to use in the kitchen / ipad holder or some such? Thanks for the video

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Great idea!! Thank you for sharing!! 🤗❤️

[@CS-bu9kd]

Am I the only one who keeps seeing orbs flying all around you in the garage or the room where you showed us your haul with the box of old silver . …? Crazy .. You did get some really great vintage items . I’m new to your channel, new subscriber.. 😊

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

You did see little orbs. I was videotaping right when a storm rolled in and it became very dark outside and my lighting picked up on dust that was coming off the pieces as I was unboxing. I noticed as I was editing the video the next day. Thanks for subscribing!!

[@maryw6498]

I see orbs gliding different directions

[@arlenecurrie1350]

I can find deer in my yard in central west Jersey..They eat everything but are so cute.

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

They do eat everything!! Thank goodness we only have them in the northwoods by our cabin and not in town by our home where I have all my gardens!!

[@attilathehen1555]

The long handled fork might be a toasting fork for making toast against an open fire: no toast is tastier!

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Yummy!! I’ll have to test it out!!

[@mala3isity]

I was thinking meat turning fork but I think you're right. The tines and handle were a little too flimsy for meat. We know this woman was used to an open flame.

[@katdelrio5316]

Looks like you did great! Loved the two toned crocks. And the bench. The strange long kitchen tool is a knife sharpener. I thought ours was to break up ice. But my bf used to be a butcher and laughed at me. It's a knife sharpener. Lol. The deer were awesome! One of the things I love about WI is that nature coexists with the city. There's a whole flock of wild turkeys living by NWTC. Lol. A couple of deer ran through a yard at the corner of Western and Taylor in the middle of Green Bay. Nature is everywhere here. 10 min walk to the Fox River. Saw pelicans and great egrets swimming in a retention pond next to the bank in Ashwaubenon. Just crazy! But awesome. Lol. Do you have the yard sale app? It's in Google play or whatever Apple's app store is. It will map out all the rummage sales in your area. Last weekend the whole neighborhood around Red Smith school had a sale. I think it was like 50 homes or something. I didn't go to it. Went to St Phillips Church sale and DePere instead. Got some cool chairs because everyone was over by Red Smith. Lol. 😉

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Good to know about the knife sharpener!! So much nature here in Wisconsin and I love it!!! ❤️ I don’t have that app but will check it out!! Thanks for the tip!! 50 homes…wow!!! Sounds like it would have been good!! Thank you for watching!! 🤗

[@katdelrio5316]

@@SonnetsGardenBlooms you bet! It's called "yard sale treasure map" and it's free. Saves so much time because you can map it all out. 👍

[@ShirasongMusic]

The baking soda to make chalk paint I have heard doesn't cover nearly as well as using talc or baby powder with paint. I saw a lady demo the difference on her channel. Do a small comparison test yourself.

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

I’ll definitely try it out! Thanks for the suggestion! 🤗

[@Oregon-Zan]

Enjoyed your video. New subscriber

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Thank you for subscribing!! 🤗❤️

[@mala3isity]

Before you start bending those soup ladles, you might want to check selling sites for the value of them. Look for the silver mark on the underside of the handle.

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

That’s a great idea! I honestly have never seen any like that before!

It’s a large fork?
