    OMG.....Chamblin Bookmine!!!!!! We used to go there all of the time when we lived in Jacksonville. The kids loved wandering around and getting lost......and the smell!!! Book lovers understand what I am talking about.

    Ive been in book stores before, but none as big as that one. I love old cookbooks and Martha Stewart books. Another Homer Laughlin platter..👍. Take care.

    You are so inspiring. I went on Thriftbooks and ordered the last copy of the Better Homes and Garden Cross Stitch Samplers. Of course. I ordered several more books. Who can resist books.

    Knoxville, TN and Chattanooga, TN have McKay's used book stores. They're nothing like what you went to, but lots of books nonetheless. Many like what you purchased. I used to have that cross stitch book.

    • @Melissa.Ringstaff
      @Melissa.Ringstaff  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Oh sweet! I’m so excited about the book! And yes we love McKays - especially as homeschoolers we shop there all the time!

    Good Wills that I've been to down here in Florida are so much bigger & nicer than the ones where I'm from (small Tennessee town) I've shopped the ones in Orlando area when my son lived there, but now he's down right by Tampa. I haven't been to the ones here yet. I like the Salvation Army stores down this way. Ohhh the big chunky ornate frame was gorgeous❤Ohhh my goodness.. that bookstore is unbelievable😮 I'd definitely need to go at opening time & stay till closing, I'm sure i could get lost easily😁 We leave tomorrow to come back home.. its going to break my heart to leave my son and my precious little granddaughter💔 Thanks for sharing.

    Hello from Jacksonville! I'm so glad you had the opportunity to visit Chamblin! It's nearby me & I have been going to it since high school. It's a fun place to explore for a few hours. They even have an event during October called Lights Out where all the lights are turned off & you can hunt for books just using flashlights. Took my sons to that event last year & they really enjoyed it! Anywhooo... thanks for sharing this video of my hometown! 😄

    Enjoyed your video. Who was singing the song “Just Give me a Reason?” I searched and found several different artists but couldn’t find the one you used. It’s beautiful, and I want to buy it !

    • @Melissa.Ringstaff
      @Melissa.Ringstaff  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Oh thank you! I love beautiful music and I try hard to pick music that is comforting to listen to on my channel. This is a small artist and she has an angelic voice! I’m so glad to know others like my music selections. ❤️
      Here’s a link to the song:

    I live in Jacksonville. Chamblains book mine is a treasure trove !!!
    After watching other thrift shoppers on You Tube in other states: mainly PA and Oregon, our Goodwills can't compare. But there are other thrift stores and antique shops here that are amazing. Sadly, thrift stores have really raised their prices to an almost retail price or sometimes higher . I still love the treasure hunt though. Yard sales are fun too.

    Chamblin's is amazing - thank goodness for the invention of cell phones. Before that it would take an hour just to find the other people you came with! Edit: Not that you'd be looking too hard...😄

    Hi Melissa love all your finds I live in Miami and have traveled to those places you’ve shown I love thrifting as well, I also have one of those wicker heart basket mine it’s just natural color,and what I did was I hung it on the wall as a shelve and put a small ceramic sheep in it and I had it in my youngest daughters room now she’s 34😂 I believe I might still have it in storage,but you could do something like that so that you can always see it not just on Valentines, or as decoration with other baskets on the wall🤷🏼‍♀️ but anyways thanks for sharing always enjoy your videos, love that you show your trips as well 😊🙏🏻🙋🏼‍♀️

    Hi Melissa Yes we love books. We used to go to Lexington Kentucky for old book thrift stores. Now we mostly find them at estate sales. I especially love old cookbooks. I love Martha Stewart...surprised I dont have some of hers. I do badly miss her magazine. I kept some of hers, especially the Christmas ones. Do you know she was in Sports Illustrated bathing suit edition? I also love books for display..love the gold page ones. I like to buy children's books for the little nieces They are avid readers. Your dog is beautiful.. I for one don't mind him being in your videoes. I wish I liked to travel alone. I don't really enjoy driving. We had a church friend who would drive me to the store and shopping anywhere. I enjoy all of your thrifting❤❤❤
