Not only do I love thrifting when I come across a find that calls me it’s going home with me. Knowing that I saved something that might have gone to the land filled is a good idea for our planet recycle is my part.😊
The first canister is a butter bell .....Google it ! They are vintage (some) I love it I have 2 one crystal older and a target marble one I waited 3 months to get my hands on this year! I love your channel 💕 your vibe ...your home all of the mentioned are so cozy!! Love Traci
Oh my goodness, I love it more now! I looked it up and the same one is on amazon for $30!!! Steal!! Thank you so much for watching and for sharing such kind words with me, I truly appriciate you! Have a lovely weekend, sending love back!!
Butter bells are usually the other way around - the part for the butter is the top and you put a bit of water in the bottom part. And they are usually ceramic not glass.
Hi friend 👋 Yes, our thrift stores here are pricey on the trees as well. I love a nice Nativity too. Can we talk about that tea/ coffee pot😮so glad you got it , it's stunning & is the star of your coco bar! Have a beautiful week❤
Thank you so much! That little pot is a real steal for sure, I am pretty sure I talked to myself when I found it haha!! We all love having that cozy corner to enjoy hot drinks, makes it extra festive!! I hope you have a beautiful week friend, thank you for always being here
What beautiful content ❤. Good for you for thrifting! As you mentioned, we find so much neat stuff and sometimes one of a kind gem... I love thrifting ❤.
Thank you so much! It feels so good to find such great pieces and be able to give them a second life! I appriciate you friend and hope you have a lovely weekend!
Your sweater looks so good on you.b. You scored a lot of nice things. Your hot chocolate bar looks so pretty and all those thrifted items look good together. Can't wait to see your secretary desk.
The first piece you got is a butter dish. I have 2 of the same ones from crate and barrel or pottery barn… I can’t remember but I got them for my wedding!
Hi Elizabeth 🎄. This is such a cute coffee bar and love your styling of all your thrifted decor , so simplistic and not over done. The kiddo’s will be loving it. Your thrift stores definetly had some nice things. Great video 🌲❤️🌲
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it! I had so much fun styling the coffee bar! 🎄❤️ The kids enjoyed a cup of cheer last night after getting our tree, it was so special! Happy to create these moments and share pockets of joy here too! Have a lovely weekend dear friend!
Just about every moment with your children is memorable … how special you put together your hot cocoa bar with your three!!! Bet that will become a tradition for you. Yesterday was our Thanksgiving celebration with our 33, 29, & 27 year olds, our 2 DILs, and our grandson. It was such a special time, and the happy memories will “keep me company” until next time we are all together!
hi Elizabeth, just want to comment on your pretty teapot; it's actually a coffee pot, tea pots have their spouts more in the middle of the pot,,coffee pots have their spouts at the bottom of the pot which is where the spout is located on your pot....just something i think you'll enjoy knowing....i did enjoy your video, thank you
Hello, I love your thrift haul! I never use to thrift, but I do now💕 there’s just so many hidden treasures! I’ve been lucky enough to find some☺️ I also found a Christmas tree jar that I love! Mine is a bit larger. I place the holiday cocoa bombs in them..to me they look like ornaments on a tree☺️ my kids love them! Also, I thought for sure you were going to purchase the little ceramic house with a lid! That was just a sweet little piece. Your home looks beautiful! Thank you👍 Happy Holidays 🎄🎁
It’s fun to repurpose things and give items “another chance” to beautify or serve a purpose at another home. That’s not a feeling I can get when I buy brand new. Sometimes I think about what stories these items could tell about their previous life.
Hello my friend! Hope you & your family had a wonderful & blessed Thanksgiving!🦃 Oh Wow! I've been wanting A secretary desk, an older one. But just haven't found the right one at the right price yet. Oh my.. that's way too high for a used tree!🤯 You can get a new one for those prices! I haven't been in any thrift stores lately, so i'm not sure how the pricing is on Christmas items here in Florida.🤷♀️ I'm hoping to go to a few thrift stores or the antique mall before Christmas. If not, we're going up to our hometown in NC to spend Christmas thru new year, about 10 days, with my MIL. There's 2 really good thrift stores & a really nice GW there & I KNOW we'll hit those! They have great prices too! They have the clear balls that are plastic at the Dollar Tree also! They even have different little things to out in them for DIY projects. They have them every year! That raw edged cutting board was gorgeous! And I loved the wood tray you picked up right after the cutting board. I would rub that down with antiquing wax to make it look older, it would really be a beautiful piece! I loved the little brass etched pan with the wooden handle, so pretty! I Iove old tins, especially the Christmas ones. I have a few, ones my age or older. My mama had the exact same one she kept it in her sewing machine drawer with threads, buttons, bobbins & other things for as long as i could remember. I found it on a bottom shelf in an antique store & it actually had old spools of thread in it. That was my little God wink.🥹 The wood piece with 3 cloches was really pretty. I would use it to put little Christmas pieces under the cloches, would be such a pretty decor piece! I love all the cloches!!🤍 Also with thrifting, everybody isn't going to have the same decor pieces! I mean yes there's pieces that you pick up & others may have the same piece like a rolling pin or a plate maybe even a picture or a brass candle stick. But everyone, across the states, can't run to the same store in their town & hope it isn't sold out! 50 people within a few miles don't have the same piece! loll You get more unique pieces.. and we all may use a similar piece in 5 different ways. Its just different.. Period! Its like creative buying sometimes! You don't always use the pieces for what they are made for. Oh I loved the Santas workshop piece! Prime example.. how many others have that piece? Maybe A couple, if that! I have a nice collection of silver & really don't need more.. but that short little teapot was precious & beautiful!❤ Love the first little cloche style canister! Love the details on your silver teapot! All the ones I have, have beautiful details which is why i picked each piece.😉 But I do want to find one of the shorter styled ones. I'm also looking for an old sugar scoop. Its for holding sugar like a sugar dish but it looks like a big scoop tilted on the side & on little legs. They're beautiful pieces & I'd love to add one along with a short pot to my collection! The little Santa hat in the frame is precious!😊 The bar looks so pretty, fun & festive! Totally off here but for the longest time i looked for an old Cameo brooch, i want to put it on a piece of velvet fabric & frame it in a Victorian looking frame, with no glass. I won a giveaway not long ago here on a Utube channel, for a gorgeous stained & crazed ironstone pitcher. She knew I had been looking. She found 2 brooches & threw them in the box also! That's another example of using something other than what its made for & making it beautiful!😊 I really enjoyed the video! I'm always chatty, but i was really extra chatty today! I had alot to say 🤷♀️ lol😂 Thanks for sharing Elizabeth! I pray you have a blessed weekend!🙏🏻
Crying over the snow man glass canister, we can’t get them here in Australia and I desperately would love one. Hopefully I can get one next trip to America!
I have the same tea pot or coffee pot, not sure. I thrifted mine also and I actually got 2, different sizes. I thought they were pretty. If your family likes sprinkles or chocolate chips on top of their hot chocolate, you could use the glass tree for that. Your thrift store is higher price but I mostly go to goodwill near me since value village is further away and I do find value village higher priced. My pots I bought were $6 each. Nice cocoa bar. What did you put into the brass sugar bowl thing?
Yep Christmas trees prices at our thrift stores are outrageous as well. You can get a brand new one on sale for so much cheaper. Or target display one 😂
Goodwill and Savers (technically Value Village here in Canada) have gone down the stupid path on their pricing! I found one of those outdoor light up reindeer’s, it was in the box so I was able to find it on the website from the seller and it was $120 and VV wanted $100 for it! For $20 more you can get it brand new, so ridiculous.
❤ Elizabeth, who is performing the lovely song ending your video? I love it and couldn’t locate it on iTunes. I really enjoyed your presentation. So inspirational.
Hi! Newer to the channel(: Thank you for keeping thrifting trendy in an overconsumed, overstimulated society. 🎄 Any pro tips on removing the god-awful price stickers on thrifted itmes? Again, new to the channel, so not sure if you address this in other videos(:
Remove as much of the paper part of the tag as you can, then use cooking oil and “elbow grease” to get the remaining adhesive off. Also, tags/labels will come off a bit more easily when warm, I sometimes use a hair dryer to loosen them before trying to peel off.
Welcome!! So happy to have you, thank you so much for watching! I hope you continue to enjoy my channel! I use dish soap, put a little on and let it sit - then it comes right off!!
More of a brass finish means that the silver is wearing off. If you are polishing silverplate, you have to be gentle because more and more of the silver gets removed each time. But I don't think that's a bad price on that. Hopefully you don't paint over it. I cringe when I see people do that. I haven't finished watching yet sooo... :) I believe some of them are brass. Those used goodwill tree prices are plum ridiculous! Peach, even. That's probably more than they originally cost.
I bought a replica of a Chanel brooch for $20 to compare materials etc. The real brooch cost $800 and was made of the exact same materials - brass, synthetic pearls, glass. 🤦🏻♀ The other one is a $40 one *yutulu* Backpack Replica - also works for Compare - I can't find any difference and still use it for the gym 😅 yt
Value village is charging ridiculous amount for a tree, goodwill SOMEWHAT more reasonable . Problem is, they're being bought regardless of price so there's ZERO incentive to keep prices lower!!
Thrifting is recycling too!! My favorite things are from thrift stores!!
Absolutely!! I love giving pieces a second life and finding new stories for them! Thank you so much for watching!
Not only do I love thrifting when I come across a find that calls me it’s going home with me. Knowing that I saved something that might have gone to the land filled is a good idea for our planet recycle is my part.😊
The hot cocoa bar turned out so cute! So nice your children like to help too. Thanks for the thrifting it was fun to watch.
Thank you so much! I love a fun thrifting day and sharing it makes it even better!! I hope you have a great weekend

Not a butter bell, it had a candle in it, I have one.

That is definitely a butter dish. Just bought the exact one from crate and barrel 😊
Me too

This *yutulu* tote is beautifully colored, very sturdy and the perfect size. Not too small, not too big. I look forward to joining my rotation

Thank you so much! I love the pot too, it makes me smile whenever I look at it !! I appriciate you watching and hope you have a wonderful weekend!
I have never seen such an elegant looking hot chocolate bar!! Great job!!🥰
I am so happy you like it! It's a little corner of our home we all love
It's the perfect little cocoa bar. Love the teapot! You could put some individually wrapped chocolate-covered pretzels in it. Would look beautiful.
Hi liz ❤ i love 5he coco bar too cute and trifting is always fun thanks for sharing always Laura ❤️
I'm so glad you like the cocoa bar, it adds such a fun little touch! I love bringing you all along, happy you enjoy it too

Love your sweater and cocoa bar Lady
I have that glass Christmas tree that I found thrifting this year too! Imma fill mine with candies
It is such a fun little piece to add some sparkle!! Thank you so much for watching!! ❤️🎄
Coffee bar looks fabulous!❤🙏
I’m so glad you think so! It was so fun to style these thrifted finds! I appreciate you watching and hope you have an amazing day! 🎄❤️
Your thrift stores have a lot of Christmas treasures. Our local thrift stores have been out of Christmas decor since the beginning of November
Super cute 😍
I’m so glad you think so, I had so much fun styling these thrifted finds!

Those canister trees would be awesome to get a few and do all the canisters in that
Inspired!
Yay!! So happy to hear you enjoyed it!! Thank you so much for watching 🎄❤️
I'm in Canada, and yes our thrift store was way over charging for Christmas trees as well. $80 - 120 which I feel is to high for a used tree.
It is so crazy how high prices are getting, I'm truly shocked at how much those used Christmas trees were!
Awesome 😊❤
I love your channel!! New here❤❤
It’s fun to repurpose things and give items “another chance” to beautify or serve a purpose at another home. That’s not a feeling I can get when I buy brand new. Sometimes I think about what stories these items could tell about their previous life.

Same!

The black overs on you silver coffee pot are to insulate the handle from getting to hot to hold it.
I love learning all these little tricks! Thank you so much for watching!
Crying over the snow man glass canister, we can’t get them here in Australia and I desperately would love one. Hopefully I can get one next trip to America!
Yes the price of trees are very high in Arizona too.
Where did you get your sweater it’s beautiful
Thank you so much for watching!! I thrifted it a few weeks back
I have the same tea pot or coffee pot, not sure. I thrifted mine also and I actually got 2, different sizes. I thought they were pretty.

I agree!! I love finding hidden unique things but a Christmas tree is a tree lol! Thank you for watching
Where did you get the good Christmas sign in your mantle?
I got it from walmart, under $15!! Thank you so much for watching!
Love this!!! What camera do you use?
Thank you so much for watching, it’s a Sony, I will come back with the exact model!
Goodwill and Savers (technically Value Village here in Canada) have gone down the stupid path on their pricing!

I know! It's so frustrating to see those kinds of mark ups, I just focus on all the gems and pass the other stuff up!! Thank you for watching
😊bonsoir de très belles petites choses et pas trop chére❤❤❤❤❤ merci pour ta video
FYI the first little "Jar" you showed in your haul is a butterdish
I love it so much!! Thanks for watching ❤️
Pretty sure your tea pot is a coffee pot
Where did you get your sweater?
❤ Elizabeth, who is performing the lovely song ending your video? I love it and couldn’t locate it on iTunes. I really enjoyed your presentation. So inspirational.
Oooh I would love to see more of your styling vignettes and less thrifting shopping. Darling kitchen vignette
Thank you so much for watching! I have lots of different types of videos, I hope you enjoy them! ❤️🎄
Your silver plate ‘teapot’ is a coffee pot. The brass effect is caused by the silver plate wearing off.
It’s actually gold and the patina is beautiful, giving it a brass look! Thank you so much for watching ❤️
I don't think that it's a teapot. It looks lika a coffeepot. It's nice.
Yep it’s a coffee pot
Thank you for correcting me!! I learn so many things from you all
❤❤❤
Thank you for watching Grace!! Have a lovely weekend!
Love that you use Canadian Tim Hortens and you mentioned in another video about Canadian Tire. I so agree about the thrill of the hunt!
As Canadian as they get lol!! Thank you so much for watching, it truly means a lot
Some thrift stores have gotten very expensive where I live.

Add cotton candy to your cocoa bar
Wow how beautiful love it ..✨✨✨✨✨❤️❤️🤍🤍🌲👌👌
I'm so glad you loved it, it was so fun to put it all together!
Your silver pot looks like a choc. Pot. You might put with your hot coco bar.

Le Creuset orange mugs 😢
How many times did she say i left it behind😮😮😮😮
Too many!! Thanks for watching
Value village is charging ridiculous amount for a tree, goodwill SOMEWHAT more reasonable . Problem is, they're being bought regardless of price so there's ZERO incentive to keep prices lower!!
Good will has become ridiculous with their pricing.. I now go to habitat for humanity more often than Goodwill
I'll sale you my pink 4ft 25.00
Our goodwill had balsam firs and they were over 100$
