Giveaway is closed & winner has been notified :o)

[@menthalightfoot4948]

tbh I'm dying to know how it went for the winner. Was there joy? Violence? Are they & their clown on a cross-country trip of friendship & self-discovery? I think this calls for a 1 year update if the person is willing to share

[@KathleenIllustrated]

@@menthalightfoot4948 they never reached back out! It’s a mystery for us all 🤡 😅🤷🏻‍♀️

[@iliveinletters_]

I can’t put into words how desperately I want nothing to do with this clown scheme

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Things like “want” and “don’t want” have no bearing here, lad 🫣

[@sydneyl98]

I can't put into words how desperately I require a cursed clown.

[@KathleenIllustrated]

clown is life. clown is love.

[@euryale5015]

the end of this video has me in tears. the way you can't look at Him and nervously look at the camera when you say you "love him"... lordy

[@theturtlesmama]

Kathleen, you just exude modern Loonette the clown from The Big Comfy Couch energy and I absolutely love it ❤

[@KathleenIllustrated]

that is SO NICE!!!!!!! Thank you!!!! :'🔴)

[@juliagrummel8884]

YESSSS

[@LeOhio817]

Just discovered this video and I’m 5 months late, but I was looking for this comment. The thought popped into my head when she pulled out the polka dot dress. 🤡

[@glitterberserker1029]

Oh my God you're right. I'm so glad I stumbled upon thrifting Loonette's channel.

[@JessicaSunn]

not me absolutely dying with tears in my eyes at the clown reveal

[@KathleenIllustrated]

[@wlammy4ever]

As if you could ever have a small shriveled lil cold heart, you have THE KINDEST eyes always

[@KathleenIllustrated]

hehe stop it you!!! 🔵👄🔵

[@lorienpatmore3520]

Your real power is having no fear of clowns. I’ve honestly wondered how you came to have this power. You should paint the Birkenstock’s! I would do cow print personally

[@KathleenIllustrated]

hahaha thanks lorien. i think it's more of a respect, like how one might respect the ocean (but never turn your back on it 🤡 🤡 🤡 🤡 🤡 🤡 🤡 🤡 ). Glad you think I should paint them!!!! Cow print would be supa cute, esp. with a unique color palette

[@lindaauld5423]

love the white dress and the dress with buttons on the side , amazing finds ! adorable xx

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Thanks Linda!!!

[@SweetieSuzanne]

Yay!! I'm so glad I forwarded you their page. It just made sense that you pair up with them. Poor Jelly is missing their hat! No clown for me personally but I do have someone in mind I'd love to have one sent to 😘 great finds as always.

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Making a hat collection for Jelly sounds like a GREAT future video idea thank you Suz >:)))))

[@SweetieSuzanne]

@@KathleenIllustrated love it of course 😘

[@cltinturkey]

That Pendleton red suit is magnificent!

[@flitz8612]

I think maybe you need to make you and Jelly matching outfits 👀

[@FunkyKoolThreads]

The clown tapestry I’m freaken obsessed 😭really diggin all your videos! Love your personality!!💗💗

[@KathleenIllustrated]

I’m so happy to hear that!!! Thanks for being here :)

[@SapphireFairy]

I love the idea of costume themed outfits. I’m trying to do that this month as well. :) The outfits turned out so cute! I feel like my thrift stores never have good shoe options, your finds are awesome! So excited for spooky content!!

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Aw yay! Any ideas what kind of costumes you're going to put together?! Thanks for watchin' my friend 💞

[@SapphireFairy]

@@KathleenIllustrated I've got a Beetlejuice themed outfit and one that's a little bit Jack Skellington. I have a 50s girl themed outfit as well. I'm trying to think of more to do!

[@FabiolaRVela]

That Pierrot tapestry is so beautiful 😍 !!! Omg jelly is… interesting looking …😅 😂 (please don’t curse me jelly 🙏)

[@emmy8526]

I think the clown probably had a hat and would appreciate a new one to cover his dome. Something to look out for in your thrifting expeditions!

[@missCHRIS11]

Omg that persons dog in the cart 😳😂😂😂😂🐕‍🦺 what a fun thrift trip! 🍁🎃🍁👌🏾

[@KathleenIllustrated]

hahahaha it was so crusty in the best way 💞

[@Elizabeth-tr8xi]

I collect clowns, I must have around 20 clown themed things now!!! I love them and strive to be one!! would definitely love a new clowny friend🤡 x

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Elizabeth! you are my people!!!!!!! 🤡 🤡 🤡

[@Natmitch08]

the red set at 1:30 would have been perfect as an sara bellum costume (the tall woman from the power puff girls) with the right belt lol!!

[@KatherineYoung]

I just found ya and are binging the content. I am loving the creativity!

[@kaylaglazer119]

i thrifted that same Ultra Dress in purple and it's one of my faves! has the same lace details

[@KathleenIllustrated]

No WAY!!! And I thought this dress couldn’t get better… but PURPLE? That’s amazing 👏🏼

[@marycorreia4359]

Watching this from February 2024. Comedy gold. Sad I wasn't here in February 2023, but I'm happy to be at the party now.

[@hollyhrywnak2478]

Jelly reminds me of the puppets that were on Mr. Rodger's Neighborhood.

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Aw wait you’re right! Especially with his long dressy dress

[@CristheGirl]

Immediately bought a clown for myself. Thank you for sharing this important service

[@KathleenIllustrated]

HECK YEAH

[@au_barb]

Those Birkenstocks are sold out at every retail outlet rn. What a SCORE! 😱

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Oh snap!!! The thrift gods strike again 🥲

[@au_barb]

@@KathleenIllustrated Right?! It might be just the suede ones that are hard to find, but still - same style! It's the Birkenstock Boston clogs, they are on a bunch of "must have" lists this season. You struck gold for sure regardless though because comfy, cute, $120 shoes for $12.99! 🎉

[@HumanimalChannel]

Thank Clown Not scentbird or hellofresh But, SENDACLOWN So fitting, so darn creepy lol! Dang, dont just send a Clown... .. send a MESSAGE!

[@eleanorspey5671]

Dear god the clowns sound amazing

[@eleanorspey5671]

Also I’m pretty sure Jelly is supposed to have a hat

[@WayneSmith]

I hate when people say "favorite episode ever" but it has to be said. Jelly lives.

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Wow. I'll tell Jelly he's getting popular! Thanks Wayno ✨

[@victoriab7148]

I'm in love with that ghost dress 🤍

[@erintobiasz]

How cute are you in every outfit! Tigress fave but ghost soooo legit. I laughed right out loud in mansion scene but was also a little terrified. A+ +10 extra credit points

[@KathleenIllustrated]

lol erin!! thank you!!!!! i felt very cool in the tiger look. glad you laughed, i laughed making it 😆👻

[@nicolesvensson3319]

I guessed 13 for the birkens, just had to put it out there since I think that counts 😌

[@au_barb]

OK all the costume-outfits are adorable and so creative. This was a very fun video! Also, I have no need for a clown. They terrify me. But thank you so much for the offer! 😬 I think. 👀💀 Haha! ❤

[@KathleenIllustrated]

aw thanks Barb! if you change your mind bout the clown.. you just let me know ;o)

[@au_barb]

@@KathleenIllustrated hahaha I'm good! 😂

[@feldthausen]

I'm always happy to see a new video from you, but this one in particular really brightened my day today 🌞 Thank you for being you, Kathleen!

[@HumanimalChannel]

Agree! Needed this today and Kathleen NEVER disappoints but from start to finish... sublime!

[@sofapop653]

The dress at 12:15 was giving me “The Little Princess” vibes. Like big white hat and puffy arm warmer, I don’t think anyone would get the reference, but I’d love it.

[@KathleenIllustrated]

aw cute!!!!

[@mernderlee]

I would love to send a clown to my old roommate who collects them! I live across the state now so I think it would be a ✨nice✨ and not at all spooky surprise for him!

[@joannacdunlap]

Yes, I would like to send a clown to my daughter! I love this idea!!!

[@KathleenIllustrated]

i love all of these parents in the comments wanting to send clowns to their kids! makes my heart VERY HAPPY 🤡

[@margaretwillis7306]

Cute & funny, as always. The duck on the charm bracelet is referencing 'Make Way for Ducklings", a lovely children's book, set in the Boston Gardens.

[@esotericexplorersmartinez493]

:50 so i went to palm springs in june so much fun when i stopped at the local thrift store an older lady said i reminded her of halloween that i looked like i was dressed for halloween lol

[@amydee7]

JELLY! So handsome

[@danagoldinger4537]

I'm not sure if this is really funny, or really scary 😉 I would love to send one to my son! Why, you may ask ? Because it's just the kind of thing he would do 😉 I love the dress with the buttons down the side. It looks great on you, and will lend it's self to many more clowny outfits! Thanks for including us in the fun!!!

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Your son sounds AWESOME 💪 haha thank you dana!

[@erintobiasz]

Ssstttttooopppp. You found identical clown like you made!!

[@erintobiasz]

Was that last Halloween? You made that gorgeous clown / jester?

[@KathleenIllustrated]

haha you're right!!!!!! maybe i need to make a human-sized Jelly dress in a future video so we can match.

[@erintobiasz]

Uuummmm I don't know if Jelly should be duplicated

[@dottieland7061]

Erm I would personally burry jelly. My daughter burst into tears when she saw him!!

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Oh no! Dottie I’m sorry! 🙈

[@juniperraupp8450]

Man I would totally love a clown

[@mushijobah]

[@callieleann2158]

I would love a clown doll I absolutely love clowns

[@KathleenIllustrated]

I'm extremely excited about all of these clown fans coming out of the woodwork in the comments!!! 🤡

[@laurelvalen6379]

Yes please! I would very much like a clown 😁

[@sarahwaitzaranek3756]

The duck is the duck in Make Way for Ducklings which is a famous book about ducklings set in a park in Boston. The park (Boston Common) has little duck statues in honor of the book.

[@KathleenIllustrated]

that's super sweet! thank you for the info! quack quack

[@charliepearson2969]

I make sad clown art, I grew up around street performers, I need the clown in my life. It would complete me. It's already such an integral part of my personality. I would like the boi!

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Wow, you’re a clown through and through. And you KNOW I mean that as a compliment!

[@alisastevens2508]

Kathleen omfgzzzzzzz. I honestly have no words for the simultaneous awesomeness and nightmare-making-ness of this video 😂😂😂 No clown for me but thank you for offer. Honestly, it’s pretty awesome that this business actually exists, even though clowns are probably one of the most terrifying things ever, and man oh man “Jelly” def doesn’t disappoint 😬🫠😮‍💨 Super cute styling as always 💗

[@KathleenIllustrated]

hahahaha "awesome and nightmarish" is exactly the vibe I'm going for. thanks for watching even if you haven't accepted clowns into your heart... yet!

[@Waterpixelz]

Because of this video I bought a clown doll ❤ thanks 🤣 also that clown tapestry I’m sooooooo jelly!!! If you post a picture of it i would love to try and recreate it!!!! Pretty pretty please 😂

[@KathleenIllustrated]

HECK YEAH!!! That's awesome. I'll try to remember to post a pic or share a pic in a future video!

[@ReinaElizondo]

Aw I thought the epic clown tapestry was a sweater! Your clown spidey sense is a superpower lol. PS. No thanks on the clown: I had a clown that has since disappeared on me, and I'm waiting for him to pop out of the wood works somewhere.

[@KathleenIllustrated]

oh my GOSH terrifying. if he pops out, tell him we say heellLLLlllOooOoo! also, that tapestry as a sweater would be AMAZING. hmmmm *_looks at scissors_* haha

[@bivbob]

hello yes I would indeed like a clown :0 (hopefully it doesn't get lost in transit like the second one I bought, darn you ybor................)

[@candydemure]

I'm at my aunt Theresa's country mansion and I see that? I'd say, eh, worth it. Because none of us are going to live in a house otherwise.

[@KathleenIllustrated]

haha everyone has that ONE roommate. You know, the ghostly Edwardian child one???

[@worm_slop]

I sent my friend a clown last year and she loves them!

[@demonicastar]

Those are my kinds of costumes! I've never bought a costume I just work with things in my wardrobe or things from the thrift that spark an idea then I complete everything with makeup and maybe a wig from my collection and if anything I'll purchase an accessory like when I was Frederique Krueger and I got a cheap glove lol, I love Halloween 🎃

[@KathleenIllustrated]

yeah!!!! love that!!!!! halloween is just an excuse to play dress-up as an adult and I'm obbvvvviiioousssllly here for it!!!!!!! what are you dressing up as this year?!

[@demonicastar]

@@KathleenIllustrated that is so true lol, last year I didn't do anything and this year I'm on that same path, I don't leave the house for too long as I'm my moms caregiver and I get paranoid something could happen if I'm not there and doing a whole look that takes a minimum of 2 hours just to take some pictures doesn't motivate me anymore, but if I were to do something maybe a zombie pirate, I've never been a pirate before lol. A few years ago I was a killer clown 🤡, I think you might have liked that one even though it was a bit disturbing lol 😆

[@KathleenIllustrated]

That costume does sound amazing and disturbing at the same time 🫣🤍 thanks for sharing about your life and mom - you’re very brave & have a lot of responsibility! Hoping you get to take time for yourself to do something you love soon 🤍
