The corset snobs need to shush. It doesn't matter where something comes from, how much it was, if it has a fancy brand or took two hundred years to hand craft from the rarest leather by monks in the highest mountains with secret witchcraft that only five people in the world know... smh. It looks lovely on you and I wanna see pastel steam punk please.

[@claudiacayevintage]

I want to see pastel steam punk too!!!

[@JLoDucky]

I so agree I love the style but you do encounter allot of people with any style that tell you your doing it wrong which is ridiculous it’s fashion if you like it and it makes you feel happy wear it, rock it and screw the elitists!

[@teacupalice]

If it gives her joy then that’s all that matters

[@LeNimph]

If your a bigger person and using a corset for its actual intended purpose the quality of it is something to care about. But she's just using it as a fashion piece so I agree that it matters less. Once you've tried a real corset though theres no going back to the cheap stuff though.

[@kiarakeeper2154]

@@LeNimph i fully agree. If its a fashion peice and you love it. Love it. But I personally can't even bring myself to buy a fashion corset, even tho I dont currently own a single corset. I want something that fits properly, that will last.

[@Armillifer]

Alright, about that steampunk corset. I'm a steampunk and quite frankly, price should never matter! I went to a steampunk convention in clothes from H&M and Wish. It works. Corset snobs are just that, snobs. And that comment did nothing but tarnish an amazing community. The steampunk community is open-minded and kind. We do not put each other down because of what items we wear or use. I would alter the chest straps a bit to sit better on you, other than that, it looks great on you! And if you are comfortable, that's all that matters. Keep up the good work and don't mind the snobs. Also, as a side note, have you ever heard of Pastel Goth? I think you should look into it and perhaps try a steamgoth haul thingie at some point!

Definitely get the lamp rewired for safety purposes. Also, once you do, you can put a color changing LED bulb in it and change it to pink, blue, purple -- whatever you want, really. The white is perfect because it will just reflect whatever color the bulb is.

[@TheAccidentalViking]

I brought all my appliances from New Zealand to Norway and just changed the plugs. They are rated for the same amps. The radio she bought from Wish was probably for 110/120 that they use in the US. I had a small electric typewriter from the US in the 80's that I used just a power converter for and it blew. Ex-hubs was something of an electrical engineer, so I took his word for it. 20 years later and I still have the coffee bean grinder and the sewing machine working perfectly fine.

[@JStrick525]

Omg that’s such a good idea! She was bummed because she couldn’t get the pink one but using an LED bulb would definitely work! And the ones I’ve seen even have remotes!

[@mistywolf312]

Rewiring not required, travel adapter plug is all that's needed, I am in the UK but my partner is Dutch so we have a few euro plugs on items around the house that are just inserted into pound land (dollar store) travel adapters.

[@patriciahamel5674]

@@mistywolf312 as she said, though, it isn't wise to use a travel adapter long-term. It would be safer to rewire the plugs to fit the outlets there.

[@teresacarle294]

👍😊I agree with you both! Frankly, I thought she looked spectacular in all her favorite fashion picks. It's exciting when a garment also makes you feel truly special too. 🗣Wouldn't let the negative comments about it steal her ☄joy.

[@SuzieQ-lw2kp]

Agree she is stunning in it and why would anyone want to take how it makes her feel away from her she looks gorgeous in it plus the smile it puts on that beautiful face.

[@cecilyerker]

I’m shocked because most corset people on youtube are cool and educational, and this lady was mean for no reason

[@teacupalice]

The corset was originally £28 according to one website where I found it, whilst not bank breaking I wouldn’t call it cheap, £5 is cheap. I would call it a moderately expensive costume piece. It seems very well made and at the end of the day it brings her joy. And I agree it totally does look great on her.

FIND A PINK TINTED LIGHT BULB FOR THE LAMP!!!!!!!! It would look bomb

[@TheCrumbleOfSociety]

The original Madeline children's book took place in the late 1930's and she goes to a boarding school which would be why she wears a uniform.

[@jolenerouse4871]

I'm not sure how it is "across the pond" (tehe) but I think a lot of boarding schools STILL wear uniforms. I don't think it's that odd.

[@leaveitalone]

lol always thought they were orphans when i was a kid. hhaa

[@katietea7084]

It was also a catholic boarding school I though bc there were nuns right?

[@teresacarle294]

📺Watched a YT doc about the amazing Coco Chanel. She attended a boarding school where they all wore uniforms. It was run by nuns📿 -- and not the loving, kind ones portrayed in film. 🤓Her uniform differed slightly from other boarders. It denoted that she was an impoverished student. It set her apart from children of wealthy patrons. All the subsequent bullying about class differences made her stronger -- and instilled a desire in her to succeed. 🤔Those early days also were said to influence her desire to create an elegant fashion suit for women that would appear ageless as well as classic. She wanted it to serve the purpose of a uniform. She had an unconventional life in an era where women were largely cosseted and raised to be 💍wives|mothers🍼. Where family connections, ancestry, & wealth were 🗝key to making a union. Living in poverty was not her ideal, so she went onto become mistress to a variety of high society men. Although her 💕heart did become fully engaged to these rogues a time or two, she was never considered proper marriage material💔. However, the truly powerful men she had affairs were not the typical aristocratic dilettantes of the day. They were impressed with her business acumen, and as a result they were willing to💰bankroll her efforts to create a ✒House of Couture✂️. She did build up a cache in some of these elite circles based on the social elevation (& popularity) of her lover. It helped that she was smart and savvy. Plus, she possessed sparkling wit and style too. She used her experiences in these blue-blooded circles to create fashion that would appeal to those same upper class ladies. Coco Chanel did not lead a charmed life, but she did persevere & find success in the end. 😉The rest, shall we say, is history.

Cornucopia comes from the Latin cornu copiae, which translates literally as "horn of plenty." A traditional staple of feasts, the cornucopia is believed to represent the horn of a goat from Greek mythology. According to legend, it was from this horn that the god Zeus was fed as an infant. Later, the horn was filled with flowers and fruits, and given as a present to Zeus. The filled horn (or a receptacle resembling it) has long served as a traditional symbol in art and decoration to suggest a store of abundance. The word first appeared in English in the early 16th century; a century later, it developed the figurative sense of overflowing.

[@thegingergyrl455]

The glass cornucopia lays flat, is part of why it’s confusing. Cornucopia is the horn of plenty. It symbolizes the harvest and abundance. It’s actually shaped like a goat horn. Generally flowers, fruit and corn are put in it.

[@Chloflow101]

I’m here, in January, to tell you how much I miss seeing your videos pop up in my subscription box every day! I THOROUGHLY enjoyed your Thristmas series so so much. Thank you for making mine and I’m sure so many other peoples’ Decembers a bit brighter 💕

[@ssusuartt]

Fishing wire is a great idea. There are meant to be strong and last long without breaking. :D

[@Kat_the_Mad]

yes!

[@teresacarle294]

😉 She could use picture wire to attach 'em firmly to a thick nautical rope knotted on both ends. The orbs can be attached in intervals. Hung above a picture window with cup hooks to secure. Drape or don't drape as is her preference. 🐚Although I'm in the latter group. 🌊Think it could give a elegant & charming coastal impression straight -- as almost a beaded fashion trim. Instead of all drapey or scalloped giving off a more shanty seahouse impression🚣‍♀️.

[@Kittykatkat30]

Okay excuse me ALEX (and sam) your voices are so good?????????!!!

[@LorenSuJa]

Cornucopia (latin for horn of plenty) roman myth about Zeus getting nourished by the broken horn of the Goddess of plenty(which magically and infinetely would be filled with food,wine,etc)...since then used as a charm to symbolize plentifullness in food,health,even fertility,etc

[@amyhamaker7803]

Also, I think it’s probably supposed to sit on its side, but it’ll definitely work as a vase too!

[@teresacarle294]

📖 Brilliant background info, thx. 🤔As Amy pointed out, the pretty glass vessel looked rather charming in the vertical direction (as she was showing it off in this final video). Except originally it was designed to rest on it's side, so the abundant "harvest" can be seen spilling out of it. 😁

@@amyhamaker7803 yeah! It is! You are correct!

[@LorenSuJa]

@@teresacarle294 yeah! 😄thats correct!

Try adding a centimeter or so of sand to the bottom of the glass "tea light" holders.

Excellent suggestion! 🕯Candles are lovely, but kinda freak me out. 😨 That 💥explosion💥 must've been quite shocking (and 😔disappointing to lose such pretty glassware), but I'm glad Alex was able to douse the flame🔥 in time.

[@searchparty2087]

Yes good idea, and I'm not sure if anyone has said this but if it doesn't have the tea light bottom it may be a floating candle, meant to float in water! Try the sand but if the glass isn't meant for the concentrated heat it may still break it.

[@Metroretro594]

My top 10 list: 1) That gorgeous green jumpsuit that Dan picked out for you. It suited you very well! 2) The tiered wood plant holder. Such a lovely mahogany color and nice carving details 3) The corner plant holder that matches your tiered plant holder 4) Your purple felted mirrors. They look so soft and cuddly and remind me of calico critters 5) The adorable little pink frame with gold metaling. I audibly gasped when you picked it up and am desperately manifesting one to show up in a local op shop 6) The infamous uranium glass vase! I think its' flat shape is so lovely and I love how geometric it is. And for sure the journey it's been on has been entertaining🥲 7) The brown shorts from your academia haul. They look amazing on you! 8) The Madeline dress. It's a real beaut, and you look wonderful in it 9) All your gold mirrors!

Alex, About to blow your mind about The cornucopia. It is most likely not intended to be a vase. It you lay it in it’s side you will see that the feet and the lip of the cornucopia are level as well. If you google cornucopia you will see pics of how we use it in the US, with fruits, veg, etc spilling out of it. It indicates an abundant harvest. So much that the horn can’t hold it. All 25 days watched and enjoyed so much. My fave thing is something you did not buy but it appeared in the recap of funny things. It is the retro limey green ceramic deer. So kitschy and cute- and it was square! I moaned out loud when you didn’t buy it. So many things in my top 10 - way more than ten. My favorite part of thriftmas was going along with you to the thrift. I used to enjoy estate sales so much when I was able to get out and do it. Now that I am no longer physically able to do that, you have taken me on a month long adventure in Australia!

Pretty sure that show is why I have a slight obsession with red heads.

I remember a particular cartoon from years ago. 🙂

@@KitsuneAdorable yup most of my favorite tv characters as a kid were redheads ,PepperAnn ,dexter blossom Kim possible, and a number of others. It probably all so was because my older and favorite niece was a redhead & so was her mother and grandmother ( my oldest brothers daughter )

My 26 year old daughter adored Madeleine and we watched so many episodes together.💜👩‍👧

Merry Christmas! This has been an absolute treat to watch the entirety of this month! Thanks for taking the time and energy to make this, and I hope we can look forward to more thrift adventures in the future! I want to say that those tealights are probably meant for decorative usage and less for actually burning.

The rub off Dr.Martens at 22:00 are STUNNING. I would have actually cried

U deserve it after giving so much content in such a difficult year 💟

[@Piine]

My favourite thing from thriftmas is something you didn't end up buying; but it's the pumpkin soup serving set from day 20, I haven't stopped thinking about it, it fills me with this incredible need for it, I'm obsessed.

[@britneyarcand]

Merry Christmas Alex!!!! 💕 thanks for entertaining us all this month. Hope you had a good holiday. Love from Las Vegas, Nevada. 💕

[@shirinlune]

I’m a little sad that this series is over but I appreciated it so much that we got to tag along on your thrifting journey everyday this month! It was so much fun waking up to a new video from you everyday, it was like hanging out with a friend who lives far away 😌💖 I feel like we can all say we feel a lot closer to you after watching you on this series! Thank you so much for brightening my days this month when I’ve been stuck at home and unable to see my own friends or family. Merry Christmas & Happy new year to the pretty pastel family 🤍
