Omg! I can’t believe someone donated urns!! That would creep me out also. I was going to say pop the candlesticks in the freezer for about 30-45 minutes and the wax will pop right off. I loved how the “You’ve got Mail” box turned out. It looked so much better. Thanks Yvonne

[@barbie3166]

Oh. Em. Gee. URNS?!?! 😣 I mean, really?! 🤦🏻‍♀️ ESPECIALLY with some ashes still left in it!! 🫣 It kinda makes me giggle a little too tho. 🤭 Anyways….whew….so you asked if anyone still decorates with cotton…yes! 🙋🏻‍♀️I do! In fact, I even have some that I picked myself. 🙂 Right after they harvest it, there’s usually loads of it still on the steams that they didn’t get to on the edges of the fields. 😁 So my favorite that you remade is a cross between the “You’ve got mail” and the bunnies. I know there wasn’t much done to them but what you did do was just the perfect thing they needed!! Fabulous job!! 👏🏻 Thanks for sharing your video with us!! 🤍🤗

[@patriciavavra7375]

Love all of the crackled items. My mouth was gaping when you found out you had bought an urn! Oh my gosh

[@maryjomathews4749]

Urns! 😳 I can't believe someone would donate those! Bless you for being so respectful.

[@rhondasales5176]

Oh my goodness...urns. I can't believe someone donated them. I would have to say my favorite item was the star shutter. Beautiful.

[@laurafrazier3407]

The star shutter turned out so much better with the white crackle ! I always enjoy your background music too.

[@GingerChickRehab]

Thank you very much!

[@marvineblackburn7846]

You're right. Their background music is nice!

[@debiegordon3787]

GREAT FINDS🌻👍🌻👍🌻I believe the Brown bottle was LANCERS WINE

[@GingerChickRehab]

Thank you

[@jadestone8552]

Wow Urns….I love watching you make over items. I am slowly learning how to do new things. I really. Like the little milk bottles and stand. Can’t wait to see more.

[@deloresmcgee1409]

Everything is so pretty ! Love the bunnies...

[@janinechrispell5296]

Wonderful job! I love the shutter the most ! ✝️💟

[@mamamykie]

It just breaks my heart you can't smell. I am so so sorry to hear this. I pray for your smell to come back. You do amazing work. Thank you for uploading your art.

[@GingerChickRehab]

Aww.. thank you

[@lisatimora6244]

Urns wow,I never would have thought that.It was a lesson learned for most of us.One man's trash is another man's treasure.

[@brendataylor5928]

Love the cow butter dish as my grandson is obsessed with cows! Love from NB Canada!

[@nonabardin9162]

We decorate with cotton down here in the south ALL THE TIME!!! I suppose it's because the farms around here grow cotton and peanuts!! 😀

[@vickiejohnston3686]

I must say. My mouth dropped wide open when you found out those were urns. Bless your heart.

[@andikennedy8874]

Hi Yvonne. I live in Arizona in farm country and growing cotton is big business so I love cotton. All year round. Great makeovers as usual. Those urns didnt look like any I have ever seen. Wow. It's ok. Don't fear death or the dead. It could of been a pet too. But too distasteful to repurpose even for me. Hugs

[@jacquelineparrino250]

Everything was beautiful as usual :) Oh my goodness, you thrifted urns!! I couldn't believe it, but you handled that better than I would have haha

[@margiegarcia-hall6455]

Leave the camera as is. Camera collectors will love it.

[@firelands80]

Yvonne,I loved all your Makeovers&very nice Thrift Haul!! Enjoy your Channel so much! TFS!🌹😻💐😘

[@candlegirl1973]

Oh my word....URNS?! Oh wow!!! I would've done the same thing. I can't believe someone donated those. Had to have been a clean out of someone's house. So sad!! You did the right thing.

[@IcePrncesz]

Those rusty stars on the wreath shutter though! Love! Sorry about the urns, that wouldve really freaked me out too.

[@carmenwatts6235]

Oh my goodness . I would be freaked out too , about the urns 😢

[@GingerChickRehab]

I sure did a number on me😬

[@colleenwallace7852]

I absolutely loved the star shutter and the bunnies.

[@tracyclements6307]

That “urn” moment had me shocked and tickled at the same time!

[@kathleenhathaway5519]

I'm binging on you right now. If you still have limited smell, please double check your smoke alarms if you can not smell smoke.

[@caroltuzun8257]

Love the mail box, shutter and bunnies. Urns would've freaked me out also!

[@TEENASQUARE]

😂😂😂 I would have totally FREAKED out as well!!! Whoever got rid of those had no idea they still had ashes in them. Thanks cut sharing that because we all have weird things happen but we don’t always share. I’m glad I am not alone in this.

[@mj50may55]

Oh,my goodness who would have thought URNS! Glad u could enjoy a nice spring day!

[@bettyolis6228]

Yes would have not guessed those were urns!

I know 😬

[@lindamorehous9494]

You do mispronounce some words, but who cares?! I love everything you do! 😊 You inspire me so much! You go girl! 😀 A fellow creative Curly Ginger!

[@sandycook4140]

Praying your smell comes back ! I taste a metal taste and my husband hears crickets every since we had Covid over a year ago for us too! Love that wooden bowl . You have the best hauls.

[@GingerChickRehab]

Oh.. I feel for the two of you. I don’t have taste either. I think my family prefers me not to cook anymore. Lol

I have a hum all the time now. I had Covid sept 20. Lost smell for 6 months, never connected the hum with stupid Covid. Wow.

Our doctor said this was very common with all past Covid patients .the first strain .

Absolutely stellar grouping this week, Yvonne! The shutter with the wreath is wonderful.

Oh my! I got the willies over urns!!!! 😲 the star wreath shutter is GORGEOUS!!!!

[@lindawaguespack6735]

Love the star shutter

[@lourinedavis121]

Yvonne I know what you mean about not having all your smell to come back. But the bad smelling candle story was so funny. I loved the little wooden candle sticks and the white cow butter dish. You have been finding some really cute wooden bowls. Honestly, when I saw the powder fall out those candlesticks, I though you purchased someone’s illegal drug hiding place. 🤣. Glad you and your daughter did your best to honor the mistake.

[@GingerChickRehab]

I think I would have taking the drugs falling out a bit better.. lol

[@laurieg2436]

Wish I could buy the mail box!!

[@cindyhunter2582]

Love the fish , a little air plant would be cute in it

[@mollieforbes652]

Urns Oh my gosh I never would have guessed. They look so much like candle sticks. I would have been totally creeped out! You handled it so well. I love everything you do! So so beautiful and you work so hard to make sure every little detail is amazing!

[@donnahearn9640]

Awesome GingerChick!!

[@JoDee7986]

Now wait a minute! So someone used the urns as candle sticks! You probably weren’t the only one who was fooled. Yvonne, I have been worried that I might accidentally chose something like this to redo since I often choose little boxes, etc. to redo. You have not made me feel any less concerned about this. Those urns were not obvious. Thanks for sharing! You are awesome! 😎

[@pamkendrick1855]

Love the video! Everything just looks awesome! Really loved the star shutter

[@KSprague2024]

I loved the bunnies!! The urns made me laugh. What a strange find. 🤔

[@suseyq4559]

I occasionally have a garage sale. I always sell EVERYTHING. Two things: First, you have to not care about the item anymore. Secondly, as your day progresses, start putting some good things and not good things in small, medium and large boxes. Sell by the box. Once afternoon has hit, boxes are as is. No cherry picking from boxes. Set your price, $5, $7 per box with. 4-5 things in them and you get rid of it all. Once gone..you never remember what you sold but you do get rid of it that way.

[@glendabrady9996]

Loved all of your restored projects the stars were so cute great job !

[@alisonsmith7162]

A nurse friend of mine asked me to keep an eye out for a metal trolley on wheels for her plants, and within a couple of days i saw one on a council cleanup painted green. She was tickled pink by her mortuary trolley!

[@GingerChickRehab]

I got mine from my brother who works maintenance at our local hospital.. they were just going to throw them away🫤

[@jeanmcbride5629]

The mail box looks so good 8n black. The bunnies are sweet. So many good finds.

Great thrift haul and flips. Love the shutter and the bunnies.

[@sandracreel6803]

The urns 😲 omg that would have given me the creeps as well!! Love all the make overs as usual they turn out great.

[@DScott585]

Another stellar video!!! Love all of your makeovers especially with perfecting the crackle paint. I do have a question for you. Have you ever painted rubber? I bought some children’s rain boots that I wanted to put on my front porch as a decoration, but I needed to paint them. Welllll, I’ve tried several different things, but they are still “sticky “! Is there something I should have done at the very beginning, or something I need to do to seal them??? I’m at a loss! 🥴 I have to tell you that I was dying laughing... well maybe I shouldn’t say “dying” ... with the urns!!!! As soon as you turned the one over I was like ohhhhh crap! I think you handled it just fine! It certainly gives you a humerus story to talk about for years to come!!!

[@GingerChickRehab]

Maybe coat them with shellac.. give them a good cleaning first.. and go from there. I think spray paint after that would be the best option.. it shouldn’t crack as much

[@DScott585]

@@GingerChickRehab thanks so much... I'll give it a try!

[@steviesgirlbrenwag]

Thank you for sharing… one idea, when sharing your items on KZbin & they were items you were going to go the eBay route with, check to see if your KZbin fans may be interested. They can pay you & once payment is cleared you ship it out then you need not pay eBay fees & charge less for your items. Works well! 😃

[@sandracapra6130]

Everything looks great.I bought an urn years ago not knowing,so I know that feeling.

[@emsmomma4606]

Oh Yvonne…what a horrible thing to go through! And what a crappy thing to do to a loved one..,pass off their urn as a candle holder! You and your daughter handled that well😊. Well anyway…your treasures turned out very cute…love that crackle affect! 🥰

[@cathyjackson5959]

An Absolute great thrift-except urns. So Happy y’all paid respects🙏🏻🕊🙏🏻 Who would give urns to Goodwill? Love the bunnies and the shutter!!! That shutter turned out so dog gone Cute!!!! The actual candlesticks turned out great too!!!!🌸🌹🌸

I love the shutter you made over and the sweet bunnies. I would so buy those if I lived near you. Oh! I found the exact cow butter dish last Tuesday (old people discount day) at my Goodwill.

[@sharonjansky3877]

I can’t believe someone would donate urns. How sad. You did everything you could possibly do. I’m not sure how I would have reacted. Anyway, another great haul and makeover. Loving the crackle effect you used on some of the items and of course the baking soda technique. My fav this go ‘round is the shutter. I just love the crackle effect and the wreath with the stars - so awesome! My second fave is the ‘you’ve got mail’ holder. It looks amazing painted black! That was a great idea!

[@bettyolis6228]

Bunnies do look like cement, so cute. Looks like you are getting really good at the crackling technique! You truly got some great bargains. Thanks!

[@stacymaynard6014]

We had Covid in September last year. We still don’t have our smell back. And our taste is weird lol. Like it don’t taste like I remember. Loved all of these. I’d love to find a bunch of candle sticks lol

BLUE BIrd of Happiness Those bluebirds were made at a little town in Arkansas just south of Fayetteville my husband and I toured it five or six years ago. They have a glassblowing place where you could watch the blowers do their magic! They also had pottery classes there in another building. They make the birds in other colors pink green and white are the ones I have seen. They went out of business last year when natural gas got so expensive here (Oklahoma). I have seven of their little blue birds of Happiness! They were under &10 or $20 to purchase one so you may see them getting a little pricier in the future. Love your video! I’ve been watching since 2021.

I know it might’ve freaked you out a little bit about the urns however, those are more valuable than you might think. They appear to be a perfect size for a beloved pet and even have a way to burn a candle for said beloved pet while you grieve. I would’ve kept them, cleaned them up, and sold them, but not in your booth. Lol
