- In this video, I take you along as I shop at four different types of thrift stores. I show you the the top ten home decor items you should be thrifting. I also share pictures of my home showing my all-time best thrift store purchases. Finally, I share my thrift haul from this shopping trip and tell you how I will likely upcycle these purchases. I hope you find it helpful and entertaining!

Thank you all for watching and supporting my videos! I am shocked at how my channel is growing. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you all! This past week I was visiting a family member in the St. Louis hospital, so I wasn’t able to craft anything. I hope you will enjoy this video even though it is different from my previous ones. Next week, I will show what I did with my finds!
I’m new to your channel and I too noticed how quickly you have grown. That’s awesome, you must have been gifted in this area and must’ve been your true calling.
You could use the wooden box with the lid as a teabag holder.
Leave the canisters green/turquoise. If they’re flawless don’t mess with them. A pop of color in you retail space will be striking.
The canisters are flawless, and I did like the color. It took me a long time to make up my mind. You’ll have to check out Tuesday’s video to find out what I did or didn’t do.😀
I would leave the green canisters, if they go well with your home. Tall basket, nice find. I'm glad I found Ur channel. And I joined. I'm a big recycler 🌞
Don't paint the canisters!
I hope your family member has recovered. Where is the Lutheran Store you’re referring to? I’m in St.Louis. It seems the prices there are amazing and I’d like to check them out.
Put a string of wood beads around the neck of the 2 canisters! Do not paint
I love the green cannisters just the way they are
Uh, oh! You may not want to watch the next video!😬
The basket that looks like an ice cream cone was. Used in the fields in California ! Called a pea basket ! My mom and dad picked sweet peas one season in the Imperial Valley in California ,back in the early 1940 ‘s ! Sweet Peas taste delicious picked right off the vine ! ☀️🍦
Thank you for explaining so well and I can understand you since my language is Spanish and sometimes it is difficult for me to understand people because they speak very fast
I have been watching thrift videos and diy videos for quite some time and I really enjoy your channel. You do not pan around really fast in the stores ... I think sometimes thrifters forget we are watchin them and constantly move the cameras around so fast. It's almost like a carousel ride for your eyes. lol anyways your eye for items and your redos are AMAZING!! Thank you !
Thank you so much for watching! I really appreciate your feedback! I may be panning slowly because I’m old!🤪
I have been watching thrift videos myself due to lockdown and I must say I do have my favourite, i have just stumbled on you channel and you are so right some thrifters do do that. Your tips are very useful and which and as a rule I do when I am in our charity shops here in London UK, which are still shut due toCOV19.
@@riannatripp6594 I am so glad you found my channel! I am so sorry that your thrift stores have not reopened. Hopefully, they will open soon. I adore the UK! I taught British literature for many years to 12th graders. I have only been to England once, but I hope to visit again!
Serious thrifting tips, sometimes people say my thrift shops don’t have these items or reasonable prices! I personally think we need your ability to see outside the box! Blessed and safe days!
I agree! If you go in a thrift store looking for things that are current, you will be disappointed most of the time. You have to see how the older things that are available can be made to look current. For me, that’s the fun of thrifting!
I believe I have watched this before, but there is so many good hints I watched it again.
Well, thank you a second time, Kay!🥰
That tiered shelf was my favorite! That was a fantastic price for it.
That tiered shelf with the drawer, oh my!!!
Just found your channel a week ago and am really enjoying your content. Your library room is stunning🪴
Thank you so much!! I am so glad you found my channel! I’m planning a home tour sometime in the future., but need to do some serious cleaning first!🤪
I got a wicker baby basket for free. My mom's neighbor was going to throw it away. I use it to put some of my books in and threw a droopy plant in it. It's so adorable. I love wicker items.
First time I have seen one of your videos. Loved loved loved it. Oh yes, leave those canisters as they are. If you were here right now I would buy them from you on the spot. Can't wait to see you again.
Love what you do with the lanterns!
Thank you!☺️
Most people couldn’t appreciate the amazing deal I got recently, but I know you will. I’d been admiring a beautiful set of Pfaltzgraff dinner dishes for at least a year now. It didn’t have a price on it so I figured it was really expensive.
My last visit at that store I decided to ask, and I was shocked at the answer! There was over a hundred pieces in the set, and I only paid a hundred dollars for a sixty one year old set. 😁 That is a Christmas gift for me! Lol
Merry Christmas, Barbara! Your present came early! Under a dollar a piece is an amazing price for a complete set! When I first started thrift shopping on a regular basis, dishes were cheap, but not so anymore. Now, they usually cost as much or even more than new! Thanks for sharing your great find.🥰
I agree, and leave the cannisters the original green. They are a great find!
Definitely paint the containers! They are teal green and that means the 90s are calling and want their containers back...lol. An updated paint job would do them a world of good.
Paint it white. I am so excited I am going thrifting for the first time.
The frame with the picture of the bird and butterflies really caught my eye.
You must love birds, like me! I’m guessing you haven’t seen the next video, because something unexpected happens when I’m working on that frame!😬
Don't mess with those gorgeous cannisters!!! OMG, they are flawlessly beautiful!!
Jennifer, you have not seen the following video? 😬 I did paint them, but I think they turned out really nice. You’ll have to let me know what you think. Here’s the video: th-cam.com/video/Exi6W7hAkd0/w-d-xo.html
From Julieann, I just love everything you do and am obsessed with watching and doing you dies. 🤗💖
The box at 10:15 looks like it went on the mantle to hold matches for the fireplace. Love thinking outside the box! Never thought abt outdoor lamps though. Thxs for the tip!
You are welcome! I did a little research and I’m pretty sure the box is a salt box. Apparently, years ago people hung their salt on the wall in a box! Mine is just a replica.
Love the idea of buying old lanterns at the habitat store. I’ve never gone in one because I’m never sure if I’ll find something I want. I’ll start making a stop in!
Our Goodwill and Salvation Army stores don’t accept outdoor lighting because they can’t test them, so Habitat Restore is the only thrift store where I can find them. (And, I don’t care if they work!)😜
I love thrifting - sadly in my area its moree furniture and clothing - not so many home decor items - but still so much fun to thrift and flip!
As the popularity of thrifting grows, it has become harder to find things that I love!
Great finds! My faves are the two matching canisters and I, personally, love the green. Maybe a stenciled design on the side.
I loved the wood shelf with the drawer.
Thanks, Kim. I’m curious to see if you will like it better or worse after I make it over.
Same. I harvest all my flowers seeds. I can imagine my little jars on the shelves and a pot of parsley or any herb.
You have a great eye and wonderful thrift store
Loved this video. I absolutely loved the larger baskets! I have had a basket problem since I was a young girl. I’ve always been drawn to the ones that are rare to find either because if shape or texture. I would leave the green canisters as they are. Green is in. If they don’t sell then I would paint them. I love their shape, size and the lid shape as well. Thanks for sharing. I live for your videos. I’m still playing catch up. I definitely don’t mind binging them. ♥️👏🏼
I loved the green canister color but if it didn't sell then I would paint it. I really liked the wood shelf with the seed drawer as well.
Still trying to decide what to do or not do with those canisters! I think the little shelf turned out cute. So pleased that I found it for $2! Thanks so much for watching and commenting, Charlotte!
I love St Vincent DePaul. They are great for furniture. I’ve purchased the most fantastic vtg oil paintings over the years. My mother was a painter so I have developed an eye for original paintings of all types. I frequently find chunky wood lamps which I chalk paint and distress, and same with the the wood hanging shelves. They are gorgeous chalk painted. Always looking for candlesticks, pottery and wicker. I recently found a gorgeous begonia leaf majolica tray for $2.95 and a McCoy large jardiniere for $4.95. I just discovered you and subbed to your channel. Love it. A nice departure from the twenty somethings videos.
Thanks so much for watching and subscribing!😊 I wish we had St. Vincent DePaul stores where I live. I always try to check them out when I am out of town. You have certainly found some great items over the years! With employees checking the internet for prices, it is getting harder to find those amazing deals-McCoy for $5! I always keep an eye out for original oil paintings but have only found a few smaller ones (excluding some that were painted by beginners!).
I’m a new subscriber, I absolutely love your style and look forward to catching up on past videos as well as future ones.
Just love watching your videos. It’s inspiring to see what you can do with your thrift finds.
Thank you so much! I’m so glad you are enjoying my videos!😀
Thanks so much for the tips in this video. What great ideas!!
You are so welcome! Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
Love the green canisters. I would leave them green. You got some nice things.
Thanks, Terry! I’m guessing you haven’t watched the video where I upcycle these thrifted finds! 😬
New to your channel , came across your video and decided to watch. Glad I did, I been a thrifter since childhood not by choice but because we were poor. I went back to thrift shopping when I had kids, saved me big money as they grew out of clothes so fast. But now as an single empty nester I can finally decorate more to my taste but without the outrageous price. I am still learning my style lol, but thrift store and habitat store allow me the affordability to change out without paying full price. Thanks for the tips and ideas.
I am so glad you found my channel!😊 I, too, started thrifting because I didn’t have the money to buy new. Back then, I was embarrassed about it, so it is ironic that now I brag about how little I paid for my thrift store finds! It is also nice to change things out without feeling wasteful.
Hi Sherry. I just came across your channel and just want to tell you how much I love it! I think since Covid, many people have been looking for ways to being in a little extra money and have begun flipping thrifted items to sell on Facebook. I am one of them and I live and enjoy it so, so much. So channels like yours are invaluable to me and many others I think, as we are just beginning our journeys. Your ideas and support are so invaluable! Thank you so much for sharing your time, knowledge and creativity!!
You are so very welcome, Nicole! I am so glad we found each other! Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
Eres increíble!!!!!!! Me he convertido en tu fiel seguidora. Cuánta creatividad!!!!!!! Un abrazo desde Madrid.
I think I would live with that green for awhile. Then if you arn't happy with it, paint. That little blue box might be a match box holder.
Thanks for watching and commenting, Pam! I really appreciate the feedback. I am still undecided about those canisters!
Thank you for sharing all your wonderful found goodies !
So informative. Thanks! I always scoop up wood candlesticks - they get painted and sell well in my retail space! 😊
Thank you! Yes! They’re getting hard to find, too!
You have a good eye for design. Paint the canisters. Have fun with your new finds.
Thanks, Betty-Jane! I think I do just want to spray paint them, but I’m afraid most viewers want to see something more exciting.
Thanks from NZ. I love thrift shopping too. Problem is it's become really popular.
Another fun, informative video! TFS 😊🌷😉
the two green canisters would make wonderful pumpkins after spraying orange!..
I love the outdoor lanterns! I will be heading over to my Restore today to see what they have! Thanks ☺️
Thanks so much for watching and commenting! Yes, the Restore is the best place to find outdoor lanterns! Remember, you can always spray paint them if you don’t like the color.
I have been saving outdoor lanterns for years too. I have a great stash I use indoors and outdoors.
BYW. This video was very relaxed and you sounded great and very warm and endearing. Like my best friend just talking to me. Loved it.
That is so very sweet of you to say, Shelby! 😊
Betty here.... You got some great finds! I live in Kansas City and Savers is my go-to thrift store. Don't forget Tuesdays are 30% off for age 55 and over and if you donate you will get a 20% off coupon! Happy thrifting!
Hi, Betty! I live in Peoria, Illinois. There are Savers in the Chicago area but not here. I was lucky to have visited on Tuesday, so I did get the discount! I thought the store I went to was a little overpriced, but prices vary from store to store. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
Your tall basket is a banana basket - actual bananas were shipped in them!!!
I had no idea! I was wondering what it was used for. Thanks so much for sharing this.
I definitely would leave the canisters the green that they are.
I live 15 min outside St. Louis in Illinois too! We have great thrifts. Praying your fam member is OK.
Yes, you do! Thanks so much for your prayers! 🥰 She is doing much better, but she was in the hospital for nearly two weeks!
Hi!
Re the 'recipe box' : I am pretty sure it is a salt box, at least in Europe that is what they are (were) used for ☺️
Looking forward to seeing what you do with your bargains.As requested by another follower would love a home tour.Enjoying the videos.
Thanks so much for watching and commenting! I am making over the thrifted items right now. I just took a break for lunch. I will have to do a deep clean before I do a home tour! Crafting is messy!🤪
Canisters! Leave the original green. They are so pretty as is.
I do like them as is, and I have finally decided what I’m going to do or not do with them. But, you’ll have to wait until Tuesday!🤪
I wish there was a way to attach pictures. I was pursuing Goodwill yesterday and ran across an original charcoal (colored) drawing of a horse on natural fibered linen or other similar material. It is then double matted. Love the use of natural fiber texture in the material or perhaps a specialized paper. It has a gift inscription on the back indicating that it is an original charcoal dated 1975 with the recipient's name and the artist's initials. It is fabulous in my estimation! $6 for a 14x 25 and I am betting the frame was created by the artist as well. Thought of you. 🤗
What a great find! I love original art and can’t understand why people give it away! I know you will enjoy it for a long time!
I love the color of the canisters!
Thanks for watching and commenting! I really appreciate it! I am working on the projects today, but I still haven’t made up my mind about the canisters. Thanks for weighing in!
I visited 2 thrift stores today because I have been watching you !!
Thanks for watching! I hope you found some good stuff! Don’t get discouraged if you didn’t. Sometimes I leave with a cart load and sometimes I leave with nothing.
I’m so impressed with the quality of your content. I really want the TH-cam gods/goddesses to smile down upon you!
I’ve recently started watching you from Melbourne Australia. Our savers are sooo expensive. I’m also a Dumpster Diver. Have you ever checked the savers bin? I just can’t justify paying for decor when so much is thrown out. Vases, cane baskets, artificial flowers etc are scored every day thrown out. You’ll feel so much better spending $0!! Especially as you’re reselling it. I know it only may cost you $5 to make something, but all that time and effort you put in, you should definitely tell us what you sold it for :)
Wow, Melbourne! Thank you so much for watching and commenting!🥰 I don’t have Savers in my hometown, only Goodwill and local charity thrift stores. I have not seen the Goodwill dumpsters, but I will certainly keep an eye out. I do find many things that people put out on the curb-I have scored some great furniture this way! Thanks for the suggestion about the prices. I will consider it. The reason that I haven’t is because prices vary so much by location.
I just subscribed today. I stumbled upon your channel, & I'm really enjoying it!
I am so glad you stumbled on my little channel! Thanks so much for watching and subscribing!
Like the canisters green just like they are.
Love all your finds ... thank you for sharing
Nice finds!
Thank you!😀
Gosh I wish my Goodwill had great prices like yours.....mine is very over priced...small town, big prices..I believe its because they know we can't go anywhere else...
Oh, my gosh, Rose! I just wrote that in one of my responses to another viewer. I have found that some of the highest prices are in small towns. I live in Peoria, Illinois, which is a mid-size city. The prices vary a lot. I come across a lot of overpriced stuff, too, but I don’t buy it! Because I have a booth, I have to be able to make 2 or 3 times the initial cost for it to be worth my time. Find a thrifting friend and make a road trip to a bigger city!
So is ours. Second hand k mart t shirts are more than new ones in the store. I wont start with the furniture. I go to garage sales or yard sales as the USA say.
Goodwill is doing it everywhere. Don't think you're being picked on. They're pushing as hard as they can everywhere.
Also, someone posted on a site that was a fellow that shops boots and stuff like that that the manager of the store he goes in is watching as the guys videos. So it's really strange and weird. I wish you all good luck in your redoing on stuff because as we said Goodwill and all the thrift shops are just going for it. I am in Central Florida -- Orlando, Winter Park in Maitland that whole bit. We have some thrift shops such as the Orlando Rescue Mission that prices items for people that need help. And you can get a cute blouse for two dollars. I mean seriously cute. And you could buy a table for four dollars. When my mom died seven years ago I donated everything in the house to the rescue mission. And they priced the items fairly and if the people were a little shy on the money, they lowered the price and then delivered it to them to help them out. That's what Thrift Shops are supposed to do. Not take everybody to the cleaners.
The original green,it's really pretty
I stared at those canisters for several days trying to make up my mind what I was going to do! You’ll find out Tuesday if I painted them or not!😜 Thanks for the feedback!
You are so inspirational! I just found you earlier today and I’m so glad I did! So much fun seeing your shopping trips and getting ideas. I have 2 of those tall vegetable baskets. My husband wanted to get rid of them but I refused! 🤭 However, it’s 20 years later and I never could figure out just what to do with them. Somehow using tall stems never occurred to me? 🤷🏻♀️ I do hope you’ll show what you decide to do with yours! 🤗 Great video, and thanks for sharing your thoughts and ideas! ❤️
Love that beaded frame...it’s so current!
Sandie, did you know that you can buy half beads and glue them to other things to create that look?
I enjoy your videos SO much! You do a fantastic job showing what to do with the treasures you found.
I’m so glad you liked it, Belinda! Thanks so much for watching and commenting!😀
If you do a RH up cycle on the canisters they will look fabulous! Also you can use putty to fix chips in the candle stick and then paint it. 😊 very beautiful collection of blue and white. I love how you style your home.
Thanks so much! Yes, I am planning on using putty! You are obviously an experienced DIYer! I will have to look up the RH canisters. Thanks for the suggestion!
Hi there what great finds love them ... the cannisters are really lovely as they are but hey you know best 👍 looking forward to seeing what you do next ... sending much love 👍⚘❤🙋♀️
Thanks, Viv! You guessed right-I didn’t leave the canisters green (although I did really like them). I’ll be curious to see what you think of them after you watch the next video.
I love the green canisters, as is.
I did, too, but if you watch the next video in this series. I think they turned out even better: th-cam.com/video/Exi6W7hAkd0/w-d-xo.html
First time I see your videos , love those women who make use of everything ,,, Haha like me also 😜😂👍👍👍 great stuff and taste
Thank you, Sam! In my core, I am a really cheap person, but I think that has made me more creative!
Yassss. I would paint the green canisters; maybe adding baking soda to paint and repainting to lovely "crock" color or terra cotta
Love this idea, Cynthia! (I did something a little different. I hope you’ll watch the next video to see how they turned out.) 😀
That tall wood basket is cool, but I would turn it over for a tall table, cover it with a glass tabletop or pizza pan.
My home is small, so I'd be afraid to thrift since I have no place to put anything. Oh, outdoor lanterns at our ReStore go for nothing less than $75.
Amazing finds.
Keep the canister color and dry brush a bit over them. Great finds! Thanks
Thanks for watching! Dry brushing is a great idea! Thanks for the suggestion.
Thank you for sharing your finds and thoughts.
Love,love, love your channel! You explain what your doing in the make over so well!
I can't wait to thrift shop tomorrow! I love your ideas. Thank you!
Love going to thrift stores!! Your finds are awesome 😃
So many good tips. Thanks
What a great haul Sherri, you got some great items. Personally I would leave the canisters the green colour. I love them that colour and I think they would add a bit of colour amongst your other items. I also love that candle holder, I hope you can fix it. It’s hard to remember what you got but your books are awesome too. Can’t wait to see what you do with them Sherri. TFS, e joy your week.
Thank you! You too!
Fun video and will have to find the makeover video.
You found some great buys.
Thank you! I’ve had a lot of practice!🤪
Wow you have such great op-shops in the U.S. Wish we had many more in NZ xx
Great Haul, cant wait to see in the next videos what you do with them.
💜💜💜
I like the candle stick with the postmarks on it and the bird picture. I'd like to go shopping where you go. Great show, Thank you!
Really like the wood shelf with drawer, very nice. Can't wait to see what you do with these items :)
Love it 😀
Great video. Love, love, love thrift stores!
Thanks! Thrifting is SO addictive!
This was so fun! Yes, paint the canisters an updated green; a farmhouse green would work nicely with that shape.
Thanks, Brenda! I agree a fresh green would look great on those canisters. I still haven’t made up mind, though. Thanks for the suggestion!
Farmhouse is slowly working its way in such that not everybody loves farmhouse. But the green is actually a far better almost neutral green. Honestly... i'm just trying to get past how everybody wants to put a sign up for every room and tell us what they're doing. Eat. Wash. Stuff. (That was a cute sign) . Gather. While you're in the house of course you are gathering. I understand the concept but yikes. I'm waiting for a sign that you hang over your toilet that says 'poop'. But I digress. Sorry about that... True Tale-- I was in HomeGoods a couple of weeks ago looking at all the handwritten items all over the place. And a couple was in there with their cutie-pie daughter in a stroller...And she was gurgling away having a wonderful time. And I looked at the parents and I said 'when you get ready to teach your daughter how to read, just bring her into a Home Goods store and you can read all the signs all over everything.' And mother said "you know what, you're right. And it's a terrifying thought, isn't it?" And we all groaned & laughed.
@@gailremp8389 Oh the signs! I have actually seen a bathroom sign that said, “Take a seat.” I’m over the signs too but the overall aesthetic is still popular in my area.
Your house is a museum like my house
Leave the green color 🍀🌺
Thank you so much!🥰 You might not want to watch the next video-I did something to the canisters!😬
I love your lanterns, I almost sold one because the glass was broken, bought it that way at a yard sale for $3.00, so I had some glass cut at. I heals craft store to fit the lantern where the broken pieces was. That cost me $10.00, so a large lantern for $13.00! Not bad I say…
Great finds!!!!
Thank you so much!❤️
Loved your video!! You do such an awesome job with your video's, I look very forward to viewing them weekly :)
Thanks, Carol! Love ya!
I love your style and content 💖
Very nice video. I'm always late. You have a lot of interesting items that I never see in thrift shops, but like you, I do have a good stash of well -organized things. I hope to become a reseller. 💛
Hi I loved bed the bird print best buy I would leave the green bowl it looks lovely .thank you x
Thanks for leaving me a comment, Marie! 😀 You might not want to watch the next video because something happens to the bird print and the green canisters! 😬
We only have goodwill stores, in my area. There is one little church thrift store, in our area, but I don’t get to that little town, very often.
You are very lucky to have thrift shops, a Goodwill, etc., with such great items to sell. Evidently my shops are located in a poorer part of the country, we certainly don't have selections like these. I went to a new GW store in our area Saturday & left totally disgusted with the junk items inside.
Fantastic tips thank you!
You're so welcome! Thanks for watching, Laurie!
