I adore how supportive Justin is ! Always acting genuinely impressed by whatever you show him , always there with the positive feedback , not once telling you that you have enough or you're overdoing it . Man has full trust in the process and in your vision . Coming to show you cute things he finds that he thinks you'd love ❤ green flags everywhere
At the risk of being cheesy, I can’t tell you how insane and wonderful it feels to be with someone who just enjoys my quirks - hypes up the best parts of me, and minimizes my flaws. He really is a wonderful person
Also nobody raving about the fox choice? Cute and quirky but beautiful and high quality enough that it would be hard to say no regardless of style! It must be super hard to shop for someone like her in this sense and he just nailed it. The ladybug completes the trio PS: Fun fact, the ladybug is actually not a bug (Hemiptera) but a beetle (Coleoptera), so maybe the states have a state insect? :D
My husband would say, "Do we need more bowls?" like he is asking a genuine question and expects a response.. A month later, "Don't we have enough bowls?" Finally, " More bowls? How many bowls does one family need? The house is groaning with bowls." For me it is trays not bowls though. I always tell him the same thing, "I like pretty things. That is why you like me. I am different from you." But I do envy you. Supporting and enabling does look like fun.
The unapologetic lean into glassware was honestly refreshing and Justin finding a friend for your tiny cast iron was the heartwarming content I didn’t know I needed
I appreciate your channel's representation for men who... are interested things? Like, Luke and Justin aren't pretending to be too cool to get excited about antique bottles or the design potential of a little attic room. My husband is this kind of guy, and I'm glad your life is full of them too.
I've commented this to other vloggers who allow glimpses into time spent with their significant other: Seeing Justin willingly & happily visit antique shops with you soothed a part of my heart scarred over from toxic relationships; it is so special to be loved & appreciated for who you authentically are and where you find joy in life ❤
I really never expected him to share this passion with me. It’s my passion, and def doesn’t have to be his! But it’s proven really fun to just do it as a little adventure together
Totally! My ex would get aggressively bored when we went shopping for anything that was a ‘me’ item or interest. He did a lot of heavy sighs, eye rolling and recrimination. It really bummed me out and hurt my feelings a lot. Seeing Justin’s genuine interest and enthusiasm to participate in something you’re interested in made my sad heart sing for a moment. Great job you two! ❤

@@Caroline_Winkler My husband and I love going thrifting together (btw, we are celebrating 15 years of marriage tomorrow). We call it stress therapy :) Sadly, in Ukraine, where we live, the thrift stores carry only items like clothes, shoes, bags, towels, decorative pillows and blankets, never furniture or dishware. I share your weakness for dishes, Caroline! I loved how you paired the dishes at the end. Super cute! Also, you and Justin are adorable together! I look forward to your videos! Best regards from a regular viewer!
Girl, this is everything to me. I'm writing my Master Thesis right now and the breaks I take during writing, I fill with watching your Videos or listening to your Podcast. I am at a point, where I read a paper and in my head I hear your voice reading it. Do I need help? Maybe. Is it the only thing that keeps me going right now? Absolutely yes. Kiss you on the lips, keep up the good work for us depressed and insane people..thankssss❤️
i started cackling out loud reading this. the way this comment mounts and accelerates as it goes on. i am soooo happy that you are addicted to the podcast (more and more people approach me about the podcast now, as opposed to just my youtube and omg it makes me so happy) BUTTTTT i am apologize that you are hearing my voice in your head lol. i have had that voice in my head all my life and it is UNHINGED. TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF haha. but genuinely, this comment made my day :) thank you. i hope you have a little less depression and a little more giggles in your upcoming day. big, big hug
I think Carolyn’s posts should come with a warning! lol! It’s happening to me too! The lady bugs “beep, beep, beep..,he,he,he” got me!😂 Oh and we know her haunted apartment needs that bed!😂
Sleep deprived mother of five, just got my hooligans back from the pool and desperately needed a break. Iced coffee and thrifting with Caroline while the baby naps! 🥳
He is either a simp or a narc. Why else would a 7 date a 4? If he spent some time in the gym, he could get to an 8 and have any girl he wants. He is either in it for the youtube money or he was raised by a single mother. My 2 cents.
I loved going thrifting with you and Justin. I was born just before WW 2. I remember those war ration books. Flour sugar and gas was rationed. Neighbors often traded ration stamps for necessities I can’t imagine people today enduring rationing. Loved how you put everything together for your picnic
The no-explanation pink duck story was my favorite part of this video 😂 I have a couple of friends like your brother, where they just do random stuff or have random stuff with no explanation but its always cute or amusing or both. Bless those people 😊
How do you know when a YT influencer is on the top of their game? When they get to the sponsored portion of the video and you get ready to fast forward, but then you stop because their quirky, fun-loving personality makes even the temporary plug fun and engaging! Boom, chicka-boom, chicka-boom! You go girl!!! Love you Caroline!
Chiming in to say that Justin is so supportive and sweet. Warmed my heart. Love seeing your process and I appreciate how you did abstain vs retain. Cute!
15:27 - My grandma said as a kid she would get the depression glass as a gift with a movie ticket and they would collect it as they went to the movies- the idea little eight year old girl with her friends carrying home pink goblets and mint green butter dishes just sends me 😂 it was a great idea though! They collected enough to stock their cabinets.
When I was a kid, (60's and 70's), I remember you could "earn" dishes with grocery store purchases and each time, you could add another piece to your collection, lol.
It’s so sweet how attentive Justin is to your craft! It seems like he’s been picking up design principles while watching you and you can tell that he’s actually thinking about how each piece works with your setup!
I work in childcare and our kids love to secretly gift their social workers with tiny little objects they seem to find everywhere. So every other evening there'll be a tiny figurine or "gems" falling out of our pockets at home. Adorable little sweeties. BTW, ich liebe den zuversichtlichen, friedlichen vibe of the finale, actually of the whole video. So, love, love, love to you, Caroline.
My dream is she’ll have a contest where the winning subscriber gets organized by Caroline. It’d be super weird, super creepy and dangerous but oh so fun!
@@Caroline_Winkler yes, organized! It’d have to be a real sadsack, like a former neat freak who lost their dad, sister, and fiancé all in one year then became in unwitting cat lady when their friend’s house burned down and they offered to foster their cats with no end in sight. Maybe a whiny essay contest.
@@Caroline_Winkler I'm seeiiiiing.. someone who has way more aesthetic belongings than they know what to do with. They are so pro-active about finding their style that they probably found it and lost it somewhere in the storage boxes of slightly dated micro-trend decor. It's a nightmare of thrifting gems and Urban Outfitters (IDK American shops.. CB2??) and they're legitimately stylish but the problem is that they haven't slowed down enough to generate satisfaction. I have the moral planned already: something something don't be seduced by a style straight out of the box. be a kooky freak and combine stuff. birth your own aesthetic. hone YOUR eye. know yourself, your identity is in your hands and have fun, don't care about what people think blah blah BUT THAT'S JUST A STARTING POINT. I'm not an expert. All I'm saying ya take someone unfairly cool with a shopping addiction and go make-under style. Inside-out. Something something it was inside you all along. Do itttt
I so wish I had a boyfriend who enjoyed thrifting with me and was supportive, you're lucky. The thrifted items look really cute and work well together; a kind of "modern, eclectic, cottage vibe" Recently I salvaged a drawer with multiple small compartments which I plan to hang on the wall to display my collection of tiny objects, when you kept looking at the small items, it made me think of that. I'm watching this surrounded by boxes and stuff I need to unpack, it's overwhelming, but your videos have helped.
@@Caroline_WinklerI’m one of the interior designers that adores your content - YT + Podcast. My sister loves you too. Love this collection for your friend party ❤. I was so pleased to see a video from you this evening (I’m in South Africa).
The beginning, so twisted, but it made me laugh and I needed THAT! Loved all the thrifted finds and the table setting mock up, PERFECTION! So happy you showed up today as I needed a Caroline pick me up! THANK YOU! ❤❤❤
Love so much that Justin enjoys Thrifting! We’re both lucky girls… My husband loves it too!❤ your table is beautiful! A tablecloth might be a nice backdrop to make everything pop!
I am so shocked how amazing the green and floral plates look together! You've opened my eyes to something I wouldn't have known to look for in a tablescape and I love it.
Wow, gorgeous table setting at the end! All that thrifty thrifting and driving around really payed off! Love these kinds of videos of yours Caroline. We can see how much you genuinely appreciate history and have a sense of the past and days and times gone by. I also enjoy your taste in the slightly absurd and whimsical. And your delivery is the BEST! Never change. ❤
A day late to watching this video and commenting because I was waiting for the perfect moment to be able to sit down and really enjoy it. I just want to say thank you for how lovely this video was. It's the perfect mix of everything we love about your content: a thrifting haul, your delightfully unhinged "how to get away with murder" musings at the beginning, a dash of cuteness with Justin, your unique brand of adorable swearing when you find something you like, etc. This video also reminded me to slow down and enjoy the small beautiful things and the little moments of joy our lives are filled with, whether it's a tiny antique lighter or a glass ladybug. Your tablescape was gorgeous. I'm sure your friends will/did enjoy all the effort you went to to create that ambiance and experience for them, and the beautiful presentation. Also, as a jaded mid-30s woman who's been single for four years and who has just jumped back into the dating game once again after taking some time out to recover from a seriously toxic situationship, seeing the healthy ease and casual affection of your and Justin's relationship gives me hope that I can find that one day too. I echo someone else's comment that I love how supportive he is of you, and how he loves your quirks and doesn't yuck your yum. I feel like he really sees you, loves you, and accepts you for exactly who you are, which must be so healing.
Been having a hard week health wise and been saying “I’m hoping there will be a new Caroline video soon” 😍 definitely cheered me up. That table looks stunninggg.
OMG I screamed a little inside when you said Rohobeth beach and then I LITERALLY SCREAMED when you walked into the Lewes Antique store. My MIL lives near Bethany Delaware and whenever we visit her we make a stop at the Lewes Antique store. We love antiquing. I also recommend checking out the candy store in Lewes since I remember you love Mangoes. They have this insanely delicious Mango chilli candy that I'm obsessed with and buy too much of 😂 Loved the video, it was so cozy and beautiful to watch. That picnic is going to be gorgeous
ah shoot. what was i thinking?! i guess i was picturing the ice itself forged into a sort of pick. ugh. amateur, im embarrassed sry. ty for looking out
I don't know what the hell it is about you 😂 but you're real and raw and so connectable! And wickedly smart! I notice your entire family seems to be, and it's actually lovely and refreshing to witness the subtle pops of IQ come through when I see you and your siblings interacting together ❤️
OOH MY GOD THIS IS MY JAM :D ALSO HI JUSTIN !! this is before i watch but Caroline i just wanna say, as a 21 year old girlie who is finding her way and also loves interior design and such thingies, you have been a huge inspiration and i’m a big fan ! (if that's alrighg to say) thank you for the lessons and for the good times and the guidance you have shared in all things life and design :) have a good day ! ☺️
The pink duck pulled out of a guys pocket with no explanation. I here for it! Also, yelling , “Retain !” at you just because I know what you’ll choose. I had those Rose Floral chintz bowls and plates. Saucers and cups too, for my Laura Ashley phase (very early farmhouse). They were once popular. ❤
This was great, I love watching thrifting, I’m so tired today, was so busy yesterday’s sucked all my energy… I had no energy to thrift but have been wanting too, this satisfied my urge. Also, I LOVE how you arranged the plates and bowls, so gorgeous, the colors are delightful together ❤
Oh I hope you get the recharge you need! Sounds like you’ve had a whirlwind. Dont forget to have some real recharge time ❤❤❤ big hug to you and thank you for the sweet comment
You are so gifted!! The way it all came together in the end was so beautiful and unique. Love your style. What I would do to be able to go to a thrift store and just be able to see with my minds eye what would go well together without having to constantly place them down and arrange them together !
my lazy girl morning wallow has just been unwallowed by getting a surprise AM Caroline vid (tysm because I woke up at 6am after 4hrs of sleep for NO REASON UGH)
I love this video so much! Thrifting is life! For our wedding decor style back in 2011 we thrifted every dish for our 120 guests and used thrifted books and lanterns/candle holders for table decor. It was great because rather than having to register for new dishes we kept the mix/match wedding plates (and gifted many to family and friends) used at the wedding. I still use my favorite plates every day 13 years later which is a treat! More thrifting videos please!
Y'all are adorable. Y'all look like you really appreciate each other. I was in my fifties before I experienced that with a significant other. If I'm reading it wrong, I apologize. If not, congrats!
Justin is THE BEST enabler (in the best sense). He stares at you as if you are the center of his universe (as you should be) and yet is he is a helpful consultant of your incredible design instincts. I’m loving this dynamic between you two (you’re still my favorite though, duh).
My mom's first formal China was the rose chintz pattern by Johnson Brothers which she purchased at an estate sale in the 1970s (my sister now uses it regularly!). Silly that I am so pleased you think it's lovely, too!
I love how he matches your weird, but in his reserved own way, also obsessed with the floral plate the one you were looking at when Justin displayed his mad hatter look. Great finds! Thanks for showing you putting them all together.
Caroline I love all of your thrift finds and the placement of them. I would definitely use all the floral dishes to compliment my Franciscan Desert rose dishes. So enjoyed the content and Justin in the hat😂.😊
I've had one of the heaviest, stressful days and THIS WAS THERAPY. I am a thrift store fanatic and this was so relaxing for me. Loved watching the whole process. What a relief that you gave us a preview of your table. I was so looking forward to seeing the final product. It looks fantastic! Great job on setting up a super romantic vibe.
The vicarious thrifting/antiquing is such a guilty pleasure. Old enough to be your mom (actually older 🤣) and saw three silver things you bought that I donated several years ago. 😂😂😂 I too had a dish obsession (four sets of dishes) but have downsized possessions considerably. Shop on! We’ll be here for you. Your choices were fab.
Genuinely loved this video from start to finish ❤❤ The editing, the concept, the shopping, the choosing, the thinking, the rejecting, the keeping, the creating, the conclusion!!!! The iddy biddy animals…. The ladybugs 🐞🐞🐞🐞 The sharing, the caring… The joy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love your choices 🤗🤗 Bravo🎉🎉🎉and a little date thrown in ❤ And the whales print… I love that….. very unexpected….It got me thinking 🤔 Im watching this again 🎉
Love the thrifting adventure and the little tips you shared. Love how Justin speaks your language when he said "...meander". We're so happy for you! The ending scene and bgm evoked such a cosy, intimate vibe. Every time I go to a thrift store now, I remember you! Thanks for sharing your taste and adventures! Love your channel!
I love this video. My husband and I love having an eclectic,antique, unique, vibe to our home. We have enjoyed thrifting over the years. Smart, helpful, fun content ❤❤❤
I adore how supportive Justin is ! Always acting genuinely impressed by whatever you show him , always there with the positive feedback , not once telling you that you have enough or you're overdoing it . Man has full trust in the process and in your vision . Coming to show you cute things he finds that he thinks you'd love ❤ green flags everywhere
At the risk of being cheesy, I can’t tell you how insane and wonderful it feels to be with someone who just enjoys my quirks - hypes up the best parts of me, and minimizes my flaws. He really is a wonderful person
@@Caroline_Winkler All that and great taste as a bonus. You won the lottery.
Within thirty seconds of "meeting" him in this video I thought "this man is solid green flags!!!!!!"
Caroline, please always risk being cheesy. Never stop.
Also nobody raving about the fox choice? Cute and quirky but beautiful and high quality enough that it would be hard to say no regardless of style! It must be super hard to shop for someone like her in this sense and he just nailed it. The ladybug completes the trio
PS: Fun fact, the ladybug is actually not a bug (Hemiptera) but a beetle (Coleoptera), so maybe the states have a state insect? :D
I love that Justin enables your passion for small bowls and tiny things. We love a supportive man.
Some would call him an enabler. I just say he’s a sweetie
My husband would say, "Do we need more bowls?" like he is asking a genuine question and expects a response.. A month later, "Don't we have enough bowls?" Finally, " More bowls? How many bowls does one family need? The house is groaning with bowls." For me it is trays not bowls though. I always tell him the same thing, "I like pretty things. That is why you like me. I am different from you." But I do envy you. Supporting and enabling does look like fun.
The unapologetic lean into glassware was honestly refreshing and Justin finding a friend for your tiny cast iron was the heartwarming content I didn’t know I needed
I appreciate your channel's representation for men who... are interested things? Like, Luke and Justin aren't pretending to be too cool to get excited about antique bottles or the design potential of a little attic room. My husband is this kind of guy, and I'm glad your life is full of them too.

Rose Chintz by Johnson Brothers! That was my wedding china in 1974. I still have it and use it quite often.
Street Guy Saga was hilarious and thrilling while it lasted but thank GOSH it didn’t work out bc you and Justin are just the sweetest together 🥹

Sleep deprived mother of five, just got my hooligans back from the pool and desperately needed a break. Iced coffee and thrifting with Caroline while the baby naps! 🥳
Aww yess! A hooliganism break :) I hope u love it up
You can tell Justin really SEES her and trusts her intuition. So cute
Justin is a keeper.❤️

Your "how to get away with murder" intro had me😂 these vlog style, antique hunts are my favorite!
The way this man looks at you in complete adoration is just lovely! He looks like a man who is in love!!! ❤️
I loved going thrifting with you and Justin. I was born just before WW 2. I remember those war ration books. Flour sugar and gas was rationed. Neighbors often traded ration stamps for necessities
I can’t imagine people today enduring rationing. Loved how you put everything together for your picnic
“Why did I spend all this time, and drive out to nowhere to touch dirty things that are trash?” 😂❤😂
Justin just looks like the sweetest partner. Nothing better than a man excited to go thrift with you, showing you stuff that you would like 😊

Just saying. They have a skill
idk why but i thought she meant like a stone manufacturer type place hahaha omg woosh straight over my head

7:45 🎉🎉
The table setting was perfect. Loved everything.
My gawd the Roomba is precious. I hope both of you never let one another go ❤

I watched it too 😂
That was THE MOST hilarious sponsor transition. Period.

aww im so glad you like it!!! i am so excited about the project!
Yes!! Moody happy and cozy.
“Oh thank goodness” is the first thing I said when I saw she put a video out. Best pick me up
Adorable
Omg Justin just saying he likes everything that you pick up and yes to you buying everything 😢 is sooooo sweet

That story captures the essence and mystery of Luke so, so well
I love Luke and you!!! 😊 @@Caroline_Winkler

These days your videos are my go to!!i watch them whenever i want to relax and while eating also...you are so comforting😌
A day late to watching this video and commenting because I was waiting for the perfect moment to be able to sit down and really enjoy it.
I just want to say thank you for how lovely this video was. It's the perfect mix of everything we love about your content: a thrifting haul, your delightfully unhinged "how to get away with murder" musings at the beginning, a dash of cuteness with Justin, your unique brand of adorable swearing when you find something you like, etc. This video also reminded me to slow down and enjoy the small beautiful things and the little moments of joy our lives are filled with, whether it's a tiny antique lighter or a glass ladybug. Your tablescape was gorgeous. I'm sure your friends will/did enjoy all the effort you went to to create that ambiance and experience for them, and the beautiful presentation.
Also, as a jaded mid-30s woman who's been single for four years and who has just jumped back into the dating game once again after taking some time out to recover from a seriously toxic situationship, seeing the healthy ease and casual affection of your and Justin's relationship gives me hope that I can find that one day too. I echo someone else's comment that I love how supportive he is of you, and how he loves your quirks and doesn't yuck your yum. I feel like he really sees you, loves you, and accepts you for exactly who you are, which must be so healing.
Been having a hard week health wise and been saying “I’m hoping there will be a new Caroline video soon” 😍 definitely cheered me up. That table looks stunninggg.
OMG I screamed a little inside when you said Rohobeth beach and then I LITERALLY SCREAMED when you walked into the Lewes Antique store.
My MIL lives near Bethany Delaware and whenever we visit her we make a stop at the Lewes Antique store. We love antiquing. I also recommend checking out the candy store in Lewes since I remember you love Mangoes. They have this insanely delicious Mango chilli candy that I'm obsessed with and buy too much of 😂
Loved the video, it was so cozy and beautiful to watch. That picnic is going to be gorgeous
Ummm the ice pick does not melt. The ice does. Just trying to keep you out of jail 🤣❤
ah shoot. what was i thinking?! i guess i was picturing the ice itself forged into a sort of pick. ugh. amateur, im embarrassed sry. ty for looking out
@@Caroline_WinklerWe understood, don't worry! 😂
I was also imagining a whole ice pick, shaped out of ice, too. It would never have been questioned by my mind again.
@@Caroline_Winkler you are thinking of an icicle!
😂😂😂😂
I don't know what the hell it is about you 😂 but you're real and raw and so connectable! And wickedly smart! I notice your entire family seems to be, and it's actually lovely and refreshing to witness the subtle pops of IQ come through when I see you and your siblings interacting together ❤️
You are so fun! Everything looks beautiful for your dinner party. Dishes are my weakness when it comes to thrifting. You did good!!!
OOH MY GOD THIS IS MY JAM :D ALSO HI JUSTIN !!
this is before i watch but Caroline i just wanna say, as a 21 year old girlie who is finding her way and also loves interior design and such thingies, you have been a huge inspiration and i’m a big fan ! (if that's alrighg to say)
thank you for the lessons and for the good times and the guidance you have shared in all things life and design :) have a good day ! ☺️
I loved it all, but bruhhhh I'm loving the duck and its tiny family the most!
Love the final table setting! Oh and your random pink bowl is Fiesta ware 😋
Ah good eye! It is fiestaware! I only learned about it when the thrift store owner told me
@@Caroline_Winkler I used to collect it plus a lot of depression glass 🥰
Uh oh, it's time to go thrifting! Thanks for taking us along
I was just watching your older videos because your vids were the only thing I was craving...now I get to watch a new video!!!
Yes, Caroline and Justin! This is the thrifting super duo we didn't know we needed!
hearing what the post card said gave me chills! loved this video :)
I absolutely love reading old postcards. A little snapshot of a past life ❤
The pink duck pulled out of a guys pocket with no explanation. I here for it!
Also, yelling , “Retain !” at you just because I know what you’ll choose.
I had those Rose Floral chintz bowls and plates.
Saucers and cups too, for my Laura Ashley phase (very early farmhouse).
They were once popular. ❤
This was great, I love watching thrifting, I’m so tired today, was so busy yesterday’s sucked all my energy… I had no energy to thrift but have been wanting too, this satisfied my urge. Also, I LOVE how you arranged the plates and bowls, so gorgeous, the colors are delightful together ❤
Oh I hope you get the recharge you need! Sounds like you’ve had a whirlwind. Dont forget to have some real recharge time ❤❤❤ big hug to you and thank you for the sweet comment
You are so gifted!! The way it all came together in the end was so beautiful and unique. Love your style. What I would do to be able to go to a thrift store and just be able to see with my minds eye what would go well together without having to constantly place them down and arrange them together !
my lazy girl morning wallow has just been unwallowed by getting a surprise AM Caroline vid (tysm because I woke up at 6am after 4hrs of sleep for NO REASON UGH)
I love this video so much! Thrifting is life! For our wedding decor style back in 2011 we thrifted every dish for our 120 guests and used thrifted books and lanterns/candle holders for table decor. It was great because rather than having to register for new dishes we kept the mix/match wedding plates (and gifted many to family and friends) used at the wedding. I still use my favorite plates every day 13 years later which is a treat! More thrifting videos please!
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! The ladybugs would be so cute sitting randomly or the table for the picnic.
the vision is chef's kiss 26:13
Y'all are adorable. Y'all look like you really appreciate each other. I was in my fifties before I experienced that with a significant other. If I'm reading it wrong, I apologize. If not, congrats!
I think your bangs look amazing! I always love your videos (and the podcast!). 💖
Ok Ty I’m trying to be supportive of the bangs. They’re doing their best
Justin is THE BEST enabler (in the best sense). He stares at you as if you are the center of his universe (as you should be) and yet is he is a helpful consultant of your incredible design instincts. I’m loving this dynamic between you two (you’re still my favorite though, duh).
I love your table setting! The random pink bowl looks like a fiesta bowl
My mom's first formal China was the rose chintz pattern by Johnson Brothers which she purchased at an estate sale in the 1970s (my sister now uses it regularly!). Silly that I am so pleased you think it's lovely, too!
Big chef's kiss to this video, I feel inspired as heck 🌷
I love how he matches your weird, but in his reserved own way, also obsessed with the floral plate the one you were looking at when Justin displayed his mad hatter look. Great finds! Thanks for showing you putting them all together.
Caroline I love all of your thrift finds and the placement of them. I would definitely use all the floral dishes to compliment my Franciscan Desert rose dishes. So enjoyed the content and Justin in the hat😂.😊
Ty! I’m so glad ❤ but yes esp justin x hat
The ending was so cute. Loved seeing it all come together. What a fun video :)
Caroline doesn't release enough videos... I'm going to have to watch this one five times. 😄
😂😂 She is adorable ....
Doh! I hope this one delivers ❤
@@Caroline_Winkler Sure did! I love your content! 😊
Your bangs look adorable, and you guys are soooo cute together aghh
Impressed that Luke's handmade bookshelves are being featured in every video now 👍
They’re too good not to
Plus sneaky spine of Elizabeth's book too!! ❤
I've had one of the heaviest, stressful days and THIS WAS THERAPY. I am a thrift store fanatic and this was so relaxing for me. Loved watching the whole process. What a relief that you gave us a preview of your table. I was so looking forward to seeing the final product. It looks fantastic! Great job on setting up a super romantic vibe.
Im gona watch/listen after my work out....but CAROLINE(ANGELICA) I LOVE YOU!! Youre always on time for me❤❤🎉
The vicarious thrifting/antiquing is such a guilty pleasure. Old enough to be your mom (actually older 🤣) and saw three silver things you bought that I donated several years ago. 😂😂😂 I too had a dish obsession (four sets of dishes) but have downsized possessions considerably. Shop on! We’ll be here for you. Your choices were fab.
Justin said- yes, you need more small bowls. What a green flag!
hahah
Caroline is so blessed to have found this man, Justin. And Justin is so blessed to have found Caroline!!!! BEAUTIFUL COUPLE!
Used to live in DC for 8 years, 4 in Chevy Case until ‘22, so the thrift stores tour was such a nice nostalgic input. 😊 Thanks
This feels illegaly early.
Absolutely delighted to see Haroline and Hustin!
( If you don't listen to the pod...what even are y'all doing?!)
wow another pod kook up in here. i could kiss ya
@@Caroline_Winkler always listening while curling my hair ♡
Genuinely loved this video from start to finish ❤❤
The editing, the concept, the shopping, the choosing, the thinking, the rejecting, the keeping, the creating, the conclusion!!!! The iddy biddy animals…. The ladybugs 🐞🐞🐞🐞
The sharing, the caring…
The joy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love your choices 🤗🤗
Bravo🎉🎉🎉and a little date thrown in ❤
And the whales print… I love that….. very unexpected….It got me thinking 🤔
Im watching this again 🎉
Love all your vintage finds! TH-cam is recommending a decluttering video right after yours. 🤣
haha youtube is on to us
This was highly entertaining!
I love the abstain/retain!!!
Chintz dishes would be beautiful with green depression glass.
OMG, Sister, the painting if the Champs Elysees is by my favorite mid-century artist, Maurice Legendre ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️ I collect his work!!
You got some great finds at the Thrift Store. Your tablescape turned out lovely. I enjoyed this video. 🤪
Love the thrifting adventure and the little tips you shared. Love how Justin speaks your language when he said "...meander". We're so happy for you! The ending scene and bgm evoked such a cosy, intimate vibe. Every time I go to a thrift store now, I remember you! Thanks for sharing your taste and adventures! Love your channel!
Caroline talking about how to get away with murder is the best thing I’ve seen all week! 😮😅
I love this video. My husband and I love having an eclectic,antique, unique, vibe to our home. We have enjoyed thrifting over the years.
Smart, helpful, fun content ❤❤❤
That was FUN!
✌️ incredibly pertinent facts:
1️⃣ You are single handedly bringing the no-reason dinner party back. Holla!!
2️⃣ He's a keeper. So are you. 💕
