    Great choices for the money spent and you should do well on the ROI. My only input is when checking online for prices, ebay especially, please make sure you are checking the sold prices in lieu of the listed prices. An item can be listed for any amount but the true tell in what it may bring is the sold price. Good luck in the competition!

      Good tip! Thanks for your feedback and I will try to do that moving forward. Keep rushing around and need to look at the details!

    The white lacy bowl with wooden spools in it is gorgeous! I'm so sorry that the blue and white plate was chipped -- you looked so heartbroken! Good luck on the 40/40 challenge.

      I was heartbroken! Need to pay more attention when I’m rushing through my finds! 😜

    Loved them all but that lazy Suzan was definitely my favorite. That paper was gorgeous. ❤

    Great finds, Heather! Good luck with the 40/40 challenge, I LOVE your upcycled projects!! 🌿🌻🌿

    Maybe you could wrap the handles of the basket tray with leather cording.

    I live in New Zealand and can't believe how cheap you can get such gorgeous items and then sell them for so much more!!! I'm soooo jealous.

    • @CreateYourOwnCozy
      @CreateYourOwnCozy  ปีที่แล้ว

      I’m so sorry you can’t get these kind of deals where you are! 😬

    Great job! I bet you’ll win the challenge. My favorite was the round green box with the transfer.

    Hello Neighbor. Great haul and what a fantastic challenge the 40/40/40 Sonnet recommended. Thanks for sharing it with us. Next time I thrift, I'll set a limit and try it out. Good luck with getting your items sold at a maximum profit. Don't think you'll have any trouble. Your new booth space looks very nice and inviting. Oh, love seeing sweet boy Henry. He has the sweetest soulful eyes. Look forward to next video and take care. 😊

    I really like the copper tea pot and the small, English vase that has small flowers on it. Good haul and I'm certain you'll see profits on these Heather! 💲💲💲💲💲💲

    Heather, you did a fantastic job picking you items, i think you will win this. I love what you did with basket tray, its beautiful and the lazy Susan as well. I think the prices are probably with everyone else, everything is so expensive. I ask myself would i pay that for the item and thats the way im pricing but im probably to cheep. God bless

    • @CreateYourOwnCozy
      @CreateYourOwnCozy  ปีที่แล้ว

      Sometimes I have to remember that my target customer is not me! I would never pay these prices because I’m a thrifter! We shall see!

  • @kathleenmay6711

    I think you might win this challenge! I can’t wait to find out and I hope that you let us know who wins. What if Sonnet wins will one of her members send her a prize? I’m super competitive so I would be all about this challenge even if it was for just a stick of gum 😂.

    • @CreateYourOwnCozy
      @CreateYourOwnCozy  ปีที่แล้ว

      Haha! I wondered who would send Sonnet a prize if she won! 😜. We shall see!

    @carolyn8716 ปีที่แล้ว

    Oh so many goodies you found, and your upcycles were perfect-loved them all! Just got my new Seeds transfer, can’t wait to play! Lol The decoupage paper you used was so pretty-if you use plastic wrap or for thicker paper even a paper towel, that will help you smooth out the paper without it getting tacky on your fingers and risk tearing. Thank you for including the original and your sale prices-it really helps us/me with my own pricing. Good luck with your contest-hope you win! ❤🎉

    • @CreateYourOwnCozy
      @CreateYourOwnCozy  ปีที่แล้ว

      I’m so glad you found the pricing helpful! We shall see if my stuff can sell that high!

    Make a Saran Wrap ball to rub your decoupaged paper to smooth and get the bubbles out.

    Nice haul, Heather. The old dresser has so much character and the wood is beautiful! It is truly an heirloom piece to keep forever! Good luck in the challenge-it sounds like prices in your area are a bit higher than where I live. Love all your flips!

    You crushed this challenge with your finds! I wish I had been able to find more items that didn't need to be flipped. I still need to post a photo of my items. I can't wait to see how it goes for everyone! :)

  • @corinnepage1260
    @corinnepage1260 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'd like some info on the paper you used on your lazy susan. What type of paper is it (tissue paper?) and where did you get it? I love it and would like to get some for my crafting. The items you got are great items and the upcycles turned out great. (And I love Henry and, being a dog lover, I love seeing him in your videos!)

    • @CreateYourOwnCozy
      @CreateYourOwnCozy  ปีที่แล้ว

      Absolutely! I used the new DIY Cottage color Americauna on the back wall and DIY paint in skeleton key on the side walls

      I’m going to put it in my booth but hadn’t glued it before I took things to the booth!

  • @ellenl5626
    @ellenl5626 ปีที่แล้ว

    My favorite was the round wood box with a cover you put transfers on. Do you put a sealer over the transfers?

    • @CreateYourOwnCozy
      @CreateYourOwnCozy  ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes! Either a top coat or wax to seal it all together. Keep forgetting to mention that and will try to do better moving forward! 🫣

    • @CreateYourOwnCozy
      @CreateYourOwnCozy  ปีที่แล้ว

      I hate that too! I get so in the moment when filling the cart and need to go back and inspect before checking out! 🤦🏻‍♀️

  • @jackieblodgett2799
    @jackieblodgett2799 ปีที่แล้ว

    Why are YOU the seller paying sales tax??? Your store should be collecting that from the customer when they make a purchase. Sounds kinda sketchy to me! Nice haul and good luck with your challenge.

    • @CreateYourOwnCozy
      @CreateYourOwnCozy  ปีที่แล้ว

      My store collects the sales tax for sure! I have to pay the credit card fee of the customer uses one but I factor that into my cost and it’s a bonus if they use cash.!
