I do enjoy your channel. You are such a lady- always well groomed and you speak with such a gentle quiet voice. I could watch your channel all day long. I am from the UK so I love to hear your accent as well. I am learning a lot from you as well. Thank you for taking the time to make your videos.

[@kitchenworker446]

P.S the stick things are bobbins from the old weaving looms in Yorkshire and Lancashire from back at the start of the industrial revoltion. Nowadays you often find them made into skipping rope handles.

[@lavenderclothesline]

Thanks so much for your encouragement!! 💜

I love it when you make things up , you are like a ray of sunshine !

[@Sandis8100]

Thanks for doing the videos and all the work that goes into it, really appreciate it!!

Loved your soothing voice. Thanks for taking us along and showing us what you bought.

[@Jenny-of3vb]

Agree some Utube/resellers have a high pitch voice or shout.

[@julsknapp7192]

The "copper" ship is Copperama Mid Century Kitsch. I just sold a unicorn similar dimensions for over $100 in my booth. Best selling comp on ebay is going for $50. Vintage plastic wall plaques do well right now.

[@pamg.7742]

Those wood items are antique bobbins.

I bought the bag of miniatures. I teach a Sunday School class for young children and they love playing with miniatures . They will be so excited.

Thanks so much for your support!! It will ship first thing in the morning 🥰

[@pamelamilligan9055]

Loved that gravy boat!!!

[@JanBee1122]

Whenever I think I am done with a section of shelf, I pause and then look down and deep. Lots of things can be hidden there. I also think the brain has a tendency to cluster items together and appear as one. So, if the shelf is particularly full, look away and then look back, or walk forward and then turn and look back. Perspective changes everything.

[@anitahenrichs7419]

Always fun going thrifting with you. Not only is it fun but I always learn something new from you. Thank you Karen!!!

[@jsidorable]

"when something tells you it is quality....it probably isnt".....how true is that!!!

[@andicastro1203]

I went to an upscale city’s street fair. Wonderful vendors with lovely creative jewelry, no banners, no signs on their wares. But a woman from a different culture actually put her hand on my back to come into their booth. She kept telling me of their high quality items. Honestly, the ordinary, boring stuff was an insult to my senses after seeing all the beautiful creations on the street. I guess she pulled me in when she saw me smirk at her banners, yes banners as more than one! They read “Highest quality jewelry” “Fine Jewelry”. Etc.

[@pinadevos]

Why tell us it was ‘a woman of another culture’? Isn’t she just a woman also? I am Dutch, so for me your are a woman of another culture. 😹

[@andicastro1203]

@@pinadevos as a white American woman, I find that woman from two foreign countries are particularly mean and nasty and unwilling to entertain the fact that customers pay their bills. They frequently lie about products. Before you fight with me I need you two know that I am a retired old lady. Not only have i worked on the northeast coast for over forty years but have entertained and been entertained in the houses of people from over fifty different countries. Add another fifty or so countries from work and church and social functions. Men from other cultures and countries often would not allow me to help with their sections and sell to them. I look into the heart and personalities of people. I am second generation American.

[@pinadevos]

@@andicastro1203 I am not going to fight with you. There is good and bad in every culture I think. Personal experience is always limited and does not allow to discard one culture or the other.

Glad I found your channel!! i like YOU and originally being from Central PA, I appreciate all the place you are taking us!!

[@mariesparkleygem]

Hi Karen! Great day at the GW. Your store has a lot of items. On the isle of the Gingko tree story was a Rabbit plush placed on a shelf with the trivet you put back. If you pick that Rabbit up that would be great for Easter. I found the same one and when you press button the rabbit sings and the frog and chicks in the basket bob up and down singing too. It is super funny and I sold it foe good money.

[@dorothyrobdau9626]

Karen I like the ready hall from the trunk. It' quick and saves you time as well.

[@carolp8243]

Love your finds. The onyx jewelry box was my favorite of your hard goods finds. Enjoyed your video. I was at Goodwill today. I always enjoy getting out and finding some good deals.

[@alexsimmer7790]

That’s a Mate Cup, comes with a silver straw to drink Yerba Mate. South American tea form

[@patriciadelisle2189]

Happy Spring Karen! 💕🐦🎶🌞🏵🌿🐇🦋☘🐝💚 The wooden spools/dowels I think may be bobbins or similar from an old Mill. I purchased some in Ontario Canada in a small rural town that used to have a Knitting Mill! It was in the area of our summer cottage & I liked the history behind it! I check sections in the Thrift Stores in a similar way to yourself. I call it 'scanning' ~ running my eyes from side to side & from top to bottom shelves in sections. A boyfriend from long ago taught me to 'scan' quickly when driving & I have employed the technique in other areas. That store looked liked it had been pillaged & plundered by a band of pirates! Har! Har! Matey! ☠👾 lol! East Indian Godess perhaps a 'Deity' ?? Patty 💚☘🐦 Alberta Canada 🇨🇦

[@bhenry4405]

Loved your comment about items telling you by the Packaging that it’s Quality. Reminds me of the advice I received early on that if the original packaging says: Collectible, it’s likely it’s not.

[@gloriajanik1981]

When I was a kid we used to do that drawing with Ink and foil...It was a popular craft I think in the 1950 s

The owl canister is adorable.

[@cyndimanka]

Ryka is good!!! I buy Ryka through Qvc. Very good shoe

[@arejnyl]

I thought it looked good.

[@lauraeljaiek3396]

The dried gourd is for drinking yerba mate. This is a strong tea-like beverage drunk communally in Argentina. A silver straw is used.

[@csciprof7617]

Came here to say the same and that the metal used to decorate that gourd is probabably pewter.

[@glorianelson9538]

That's what I thought.

[@lavenderclothesline]

Thank you!!

[@paulettegatheridge2048]

I enjoy your videos! I’m a eBay seller too but just by cleaning out my house.

[@laurab8450]

I think the framed Mushroom Woodland art is reverse ink painting. They ink the design on the glass & back it with gold leaf. Fun haul! You always get nice items, Karen!

[@beckytheobsessedstitcher1170]

Another great video - really feels like I'm thrifting myself! Love the gourd.

[@rowenaphilbeck1919]

The wood things are bobbins for spinning yarn. I have tons and spin yarn as well. Nice find. Love watching you thrift.

[@bethlouden971]

I would have bought those neon Reeboks for sure! Perfect for 70's - 80's wear!!

[@lavenderclothesline]

True!!

Our Goodwills, west of Seattle, do not stock aisles by color. The stock more by category Pet, craft, hardware/tools, etc) with household being the greatest number of aisles just randomly stocked, in no sense of order.

Hi Karen, Breakfast of reseller champions, those marzipan balls rolled in cocoa sound so good to me! LOL! I really think that you do such a great job in narratingover that relaxing music in your shopping videos! it's very relaxing. A good old fashioned trunk haul , how expeditious and fun!!

I'm from the home of Cannon towels and sheets, and we all worked in the mills one time or another. I saw those wooden things used in the weaving of material.

[@lisanicu2000]

Karen, the gourd with silver adornments is called a Mate’ bowl or vessel. I have one from Argentina. It’s for brewing a special strong herbal tea.

[@mariaroldan4200]

Yes, dear you are right! Mate and Yerba mate, we drink it through a silver “straw”.

[@TT-mn1fh]

I believe those mugs have some sort of value because of the way the bottom was. I’ve sold a couple with the same bottom.

[@thetreasurepirate6841]

Fab video as always. THe dried gourd with silver is a Mate pot, mate being a south american drink - usually comes with a metal straw type thing...

[@celinagonzalez9494]

Yes Argentina!!!!!

[@TruthwillsetUfree1]

Uruguay as well

[@tkwilson4585]

I guess there are a couple ways to look at those bags of personal hygiene items. 1. Someone spent their hard earned money and their time putting them together, only for Goodwill to make a profit on them (but obviously whoever made them up, never got around to handing them out to the homeless or whoever the originally intended recipients were). 2. I guess if someone is in need of those items and is short on cash, that's a good deal for a bag full. My immediate reaction was #1, but I'm trying to learn to stop and see things from different perspectives these days.

[@christinablocker3728]

The bag of small animal objects would be a gold mine for Montessori Teachers and Child development Teachers. As a Montessori Teacher...I hunt high and low for small objects. They are great for beginning and ending sounds. Most parents are starting to home school their children and they are surfing KZbin for Montessori Trainings.

The wooden dowel things go with a spinning wheel (like in Sleeping Beauty).

I think the wooden things are used to tap maple trees . They would screw the large end into the tree and the sap would drip out the hole. The bucket handle would fit into one of the grooves. Just a guess.

I tried the Thrifty Shopper in Baldwinsville NY. they had such junk that you couldn't pay me to take it. How do I know where to go to see shelves like this??? Also, I'm confused with your shopping because I see stacked up art on the bottom shelf, don't you go through all that? There could be a rare painting in there or something. You're just so fast, like you know instantly what's worthy of your time and what isn't. I don't know if I would know what to buy and what to leave behind.. besides running comps, of course, but you really can only do that if you have a manufacturer. I love you and your channel, you're so inspiring, and your daughter is sweet, love her videos, as well!
