Thrifting for the Holidays!

[@matthewheeke4377]

Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer-Silver and Gold was sung by Burl Ives as an animated snowman during the classic Christmas movie. I am 43 years old and I still watch it every year, even if my son does not want to. It brings back all the magic of Christmas for me as a young girl😊

[@manorgarden]

Me too! I'm also 43 and also still watch it every year. Such a classic.

[@alicehamdi9201]

I’m 62 and still love watching it.

[@LadyCourtney13]

I'm 64 and I still love watching Rudolph!

[@d.l.n.7133]

Yup ! I still watch that movie with my grandsons at Christmas 🥰

[@SueB-y7l]

There’s an old Girl Scout song that goes: “Make new friends. But keep the old. One is silver and the other’s gold “.

[@angelacollins1343]

I remember the song from Camp Fire Girls, but I think the song Linda is remembering is from the movie “Rudolf”.

[@janaharvey658]

Yes! That's the one! I learned it at Camp Fire day camp. :)

[@melissapeters9261]

Old is right. I heard it over 65 years ago.

[@carlasturm6819]

Rudolph of course. Silver and gold. Silver and gold. Burl Ives. My favorite Christmas show. I have a collection of characters from the show. I wish I was there shopping with you! Your Indiana friend.

[@maryeliason1504]

I didn't know this one but the other

[@deborahpellerito6117]

I also have a collection of the characters from the show

[@heidijones1516]

Make new friends but keep the old, one is silver and the other is gold. Fun thrifting with you 3!

[@anneedens3202]

When you don’t have storage space for serveware after the party, donate it back to the thrift store and consider the price you paid rent. It’s a win-win!

[@grisespino5342]

Great tip!

[@sherrysloger4215]

Oh no…Stuart has succumbed to thrifting! 😄

[@QueenAnnesLace13]

That's funny! at some point he would have to with those two excited thrifters around.

[@Deb-xn6yr]

Me too! I need a couple of thrifted tea pots to make hanging birdhouses and cottage garden ornaments out of in the spring 🫖 ❤ love from Georgia

[@mkas291]

Yes! Love to see Johns beautiful house

[@angietru1911]

Yes!!! I was hoping for another tour of John's home. It's one of my favorite tours.

[@cathymeyer3760]

Yes to that!

[@lynnetrue4103]

Fun trip! Leah, you can store large flat trays under your mattress or in your car trunk with the spare tire😂or slid behind a dresser or in a dresser drawer with clothes on top. A big punch bowl can be stored in the back of a cabinet and filled with small things you dont use often or at the top of a clothes closet filled with hair things or scarves or out of season socks or rolled up belts etc etc. Or set upside down and used as a plant stand Or on top of the fridge to store rolled up dish cloths and kitchen towels and scubbies. Or depending on the cost just used once or twice and redonated.

[@cnnvly6522]

Wonderful suggestions!

[@jessicacagle-faber149]

Burl Ives does sing it, but he's a snowman not Santa. One of my faves!

[@Empty.Nest.Gardener]

I learned this when I was in Girl Scouts long time ago. Make new friends, but keep the old one is silver and the other is gold.

[@caroleprisk5068]

Girl Scout song..." Make new friends, but keep the old! One is silver and the other gold. "

[@darlenemorris9550]

The silver and gold song was sung by Burl Ives in the animated "Rudolph" movie. I am in my 60's and have been watching this movie every year of my life. It reminds me of my childhood!!

[@susanlewis9606]

So good to see John!! He does not post enough!!! And I want to see his house for Christmas!!

[@signature_colorpink8954]

Love seeing John again. I have missed him. ❤

[@patriciahartnett4776]

God Bless you, John. How wonderful you are giving your time to help others in need!! Merry Christmas!!

[@cardishayes15]

It was so good to see John again. So nice of him to let us in his home again. Looks like you all found some great deals!

[@beverlyasleson3321]

What a fun adventure to the Goodwill store especially running into John what a great project he’s doing for women out of prison. Excited for Wednesday to see who keeps what.

[@mariehayes6934]

Silver and gold 🎼🎹 this song by Burl Ives is in the Christmas animated tv show Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer- my kids loved watching it every year at Christmas!! Loved your video- so interesting and inspiring! Merry Christmas Linda, Stewart, and Lea! Love you guys!❤😊

[@mrspaulsen1717]

That punch bowl is a treasure- if you truly could use it, get it and then Donate it back when it is in the way.

[@d.l.n.7133]

I have a neighbor who does that bc we are all condo dwellers in FL. She goes to the thrift shops uses things like serving pieces and then donates them back .

[@rubyg1157]

Oh my John that wonderful God will continue to bless u for helping people in need thank u.

[@QueenAnnesLace13]

Always love a thrifting video, with Linda, Leah and Stewart debating what should go into the cart and this time Stewart scored a fun surprise! Thank you to John for providing your services to help those in need. Can't wait to see your holiday decor.

[@juneramirez8580]

There is an old girl scout song that talks friendship.. Make new friends but keep the old.... One is SILVER AND THE OTHER GOLD ! I was a girl scout leader for many years in the 80's The only thing I remember about silver and gold!

[@patriciaprough6656]

I learned that friendship song in Girl Scouts. Make new friends, but keep the old, one is silver and the other gold.

[@diannemckenzie2356]

When hosting a party and in need of extra items, I purchase from a charity shop and then donate them back. It's an inexpensive rental, recycled and helping a charity again.

[@d.l.n.7133]

And that way charitable organizations receive your money and benefit … it’s a win win

[@relmatruman7716]

Silver and gold, silver and gold looks so much good when you see silver and gold decorations on every Christmas tree

[@conniegarland3311]

I always it would be fun to have a lot of wall clocks hanging up for New Year's Eve, set an hour apart. Those could be thrifted. Also thought it would be fun to have your guest bring little alarm clocks, and set them all for Midnight. Then they would all be going off at Midnight. Of cousre now everyone has an alarm on their phones. Have a Wonderful 2024!🎉

[@lydiahoran4026]

Yay John! So nice to see him!

[@nancydorn2524]

I love those bone plates! What a find!

[@DawnRK3204]

Thank you for caring for those who have served time. 💕

[@nancybogart3960]

Priceless, "champagne tower or a pile of broken glass", love it!

[@robbinstephensyork8864]

YAY!!!!!.....John!!!!......I have watched the videos on his garden and his home MULTIPLE times....and will continue going back for inspiration.....LOVE his decor style.✌️💜💋

[@judyshallstrom415]

Make new friends but keep the old. One is Silver and the other Gold. We sang it in Girl Scouts. It is also fun when sung as a round. 18:20

[@susanlewis9606]

I store my trays behind books on bookshelf. Adds light!

[@christyrimson7781]

Good seeing him he has a Beautiful home he need people tour his beautiful home like u just did. Maybe this Summer

[@Mary-d7u8l]

So enjoy the thrift trips with LEAH, Stuart and you. They are so fun.

[@tracyslone66]

Everyone loves John!!! ❤

[@lindakovacs7904]

Just love the interactions between the three of you and how you are like children in surprise mode when you find your little treasures and surprises . What a fun segment and helping out with saving our planet by finding new ways to use items while others benefit from those sales . You are each so individual but so alike also. Friendships are a blessing . Have a wonderful magical and enjoyable New year celebration .

[@MrsDebBee]

Linda, I love how you have taken Leah and Stuart under your wing like they are family ❤️

[@catherinekennedy2968]

Yes, Beryl Ives. “ silver and gold decorations, on every Christmas tree”

[@donnapudwill9908]

Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer tv special from the 60s

[@thomaswiegand7348]

From Frosty the Snowman?

[@lauratruthseekingWarrior]

Rudolph the red nose reindeer. Burl Ives as Sam the Snowman sings silver and gold. I'm 62 and I watch it every year!!!!❤

[@sharonsomers5513]

Rudolph is the cartoon that sings silver and gold.

[@pammanley7324]

Leah, an option for the wide ribbon around your glasses...thin ribbon with a jingle bell attached. Love your thrifting videos and the ideas that are shared. I'm looking forward to John's home tour!

[@lindaga820]

Linda you lucked out finding those nice dishes ! So fun thrifting with you guys. Leah you look so nice in that sweater.

[@stephaniesharkey3538]

They look like alabaster, I think, not bone!

[@barbaracarlson1331]

Wow! Can’t believe all the treasures you find. Nothing like that in my town.

[@cathierose2009]

Norman habitat store usually has lots of dressers. And they deliver

[@karenlynn1956]

I have a punch bowl just like that one, it came with a smaller punch bowl that could be used to turn upside down and set the big punch bowl on top of it, or use for a separate bowl. I bought it 48 years ago when I got married.

[@karenlynn1956]

That other bowl goes with the first one.

[@noreneclaburn1782]

Great video! Linda,I love the dishes you got! Cannot wait to see John's home again! Leah, your sweater is fabulous, and the color is one of my new favorites. May god bless y'all!!

[@roserizzo3094]

Love all the items you selected and the pants sizing with the arm!

[@juliabinford6500]

It was fun to see a cameo by John! The camaraderie between all of you is fun to watch. I’m still smiling over the red pants. There might be a subtle difference between fitting, and fitting well, lol.

[@marciamellow1211]

You sure make thrifting fun..you three are perfect together...❤

[@csutherland11]

Although Rudolph’s song Silver and Gold was about a Christmas Tree, Make New Friends and Keep the Old was a song used in Girl Scouts and other girls clubs (in the 60s?) I thinkl those 2 songs complement each other quite nicely!

[@tammivintagewife]

That Wexford punch bowl has a bottom part that looks like a bowl the bowl is turned upside down making it very tall it’s stunning set up

[@janreynolds3794]

This was so fun! ❤️❤️

[@odemonet]

I love your thrifting videos! The 3 of you are such a great team!

[@kaeleyjust3991]

It's Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer, and it was sung by the snowman!!! I watch it every year, a Christmas tradition in my family!!!

[@mireillebaan]

An idea for the punchbowl, after the party it would look great with amerillisbulbs or other bulbs

[@gretchenburton7184]

Merry Merry Merry Christmas to you, Linda, your entire family, Leah, Stewart and all of your helpers and a very Happy and Blessed New Year🎉❤❤❤

[@langelatallent5460]

Rudolph the red nose reindeer was the movie with Burl Ives singing Silver and Gold. I am a 65 year old Great Grandmother, and it is still my favorite Christmas movie!!!

[@leahall6715]

Linda, I love how you see the possibilities! Not everyone has that insight. Thank you!

[@92ives]

OMG! I used that film editor when I was in college, 1979 ish? Brings back fond memories.

[@brendablanton9960]

You, Leah, and Stuart find some of the best buys. Love to go thriftying with y'all. Merry Christmas !

[@mbtvalli]

This was so fun! You two were in rare form. I had a couple really good chuckles.

[@florencelacy4190]

The punch bowl is Anchor Hocking Wexford. ... hard to find treasure from the 70s. They make beautiful flower arrangements. Love your thrift adventures

[@MargaretParrish-x4g]

Make new friends but keep the old, one is silver and the other gold! (I think we sang that in Girl Scouts)

[@adelegargano3831]

Burl Ives as an animated snowman in Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer. A classic.

[@lindaga820]

Love Burl Ives !!!

[@suzannemichell7985]

I don’t necessarily remember Burl Ives, but I do remember being a brownie and singing “make new friends but keep the old one is silver and the other gold“. We sang it as a round and the overlapping parts made beautiful harmony.....

[@pierinacresci3858]

Love your thrifting videos, Linda. Love how you can imagine repurposing items for something other than what it’s intended for.

[@theresasaenz6008]

I loved the movie Rudolf the Red Nose Reindeer this was my sister and I favorite movie at Christmas. It always makes me cry when I watch it because it brings back so many childhood memories.

[@gina5827]

I always love a thrifting trip and what a treat to see John! I'm already excited to see his home at Christmas. 😁 Now, i want to go thrifting!! 😉

[@emiliagarcia6868]

Enjoyed shopping with y'all, lots of fun ❤❤😊

[@tina8palmer]

The girl that bought your old home would love those coasters.

[@Lynette-qh3tw]

I thought the same thing.

[@nicinokc]

I love your thrifting videos!

[@vickeelopez7874]

I remember an old song from my elementary years: Make new friends, but keep the old. One is silver and the other is gold!

[@sharronschornagel2714]

Yes I've daonecthe neck thing and it works every time

[@lianeabeyta4515]

I think you put the silver vessel for Stewart's office in the freezer before a party to chill your wine bottle when it comes out. Haha on the red pants! Yes at Leahs age I am sure my arm was a good measurement for my waist. That was 40 years ago!!!!! Ain't gonna happen! I am not into elephants but love the material and style of those pants! Cannot wait for John's Christmas home tour!!!!!

[@charlottesimms4427]

I always enjoy your thrifting trips. Looks like you guys had so much fun and great finds too!❤❤❤

[@debbienolan611]

The silver and gold song was Burl Ives maybe on Frosty the Snowman.

[@ceciliadelgado6899]

Hi Linda and Leah! Speaking of punch bowls, I have one that I love but it sits on the shelf and would like to find creative ways to use it more often. Can you do a segment on that? It would be so helpful since I don't think I'm the only one with this dilemma. Thx so much!

[@louisavassiliou6841]

I always have to try on trousers/pants everytime can't buy without this😊🇨🇾

[@DianeML419]

What a fun video! The three of you have have great chemistry together, wonderful that you have found each other. Also so excited to see John. I’m looking forward to another tour of his beautiful home. I can’t forget to Thank you Leah for the tip on pant shopping! I really dislike trying on clothes. I can’t wait to try it out. 😊

[@sonyachove]

The Silver and Gold song is from Rudolph. But there's another song we sang at camp: Make new friends, but keep the old. One is silver and the other gold.

[@janetdavis5619]

I use the pants and arm trick when I'm shopping thrift too Leah!

[@RoseWaddell-k6e]

Fun thrifting video😊 your lucky the prices are really good. Our thrift stores are very expensive.

[@barbkenas5663]

Fun shopping trip ladies and Stewart!

[@pamburket1179]

Silver and gold from Frosty the snowman.

[@susienatoli1228]

I love the tan leather purse in the shopping cart! Tell all!

[@kaychaney6102]

Love the interaction!

[@dorismikolajczyk3802]

“Make new friends but keep the old - some are silver and the others gold.” Girl Scouts 1960’s

[@kaylac3367]

I really enjoy your thrifting videos. You have so many creative ideas! Love the pant/waist hack! I shop like you do, in that I place several items in my cart and decide before going to the register.

[@jangoff3302]

What a great video you guys are amazing.

[@terrihart2133]

How fun that Stewart joined you in "the hunt". And decor at that! Great finds.🎉 Silver and gold, from Rudolph and yes Berl Ives.

[@editjeremias9615]

I can't wait to see John's Christmas house.

[@kimberarchuleta1689]

I look forward to your videos. Such wonderful ideas. Hugs from Montana ❤

[@cindiblazer8621]

My thrift stores are nothing like yours. Dang

[@lisawfriday]

Rudolph the red nosed reindeer. Silver and gold, silver and gold, everyone wishes for silver and gold, how do you measure its worth, just by the pleasure it gives here on earth. Such nostalgia. I remember hearing this at my grandparents house on Christmas Eve dinners with all the family. ❤

[@sjerzgrl]

This was such a fun video! Thank you

[@conniemorgan8402]

John is looking quite dapper, today !!

[@debrabeard1830]

Your friend should try habitat for humanity store if you have one in your community! They always have furniture and in great shape!

[@maryjean9236]

Oh my, this was so fun!

[@ladyt2587]

Silver and gold song is from The movie Rudolph the red nose reindeer. By Rankin and Bass that is a classic I own and grew up with. ❤Burl Ives sings it.
