Well, I went to McDonalds one day to get coffee and met a man I married 4 months later, so yes, you never know where love is waiting. So, "go out and get what's yours.""
Karen not only do I love your video in all these flea market and thrift shop , but I love the relationship between you and Roger , you laugh with such happiness and he is such a gentle demeanor …I’m.so happy you found each other , I hope to see when you join forces.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💕
What a gentleman Roger is. He would hold things for you and carry items for you without any hesitation or being asked. He looked so cute in the top hat! Should wear it for your wedding day! You got some great thrift finds but your best thrift find was definitely Roger!
The big glass pig (about 16:48) was designed by a friend and colleague of my father. He was a design engineer in the glass division at Owens-Illinois in Toledo, Ohio. Probably from the 1970s. We used to keep coins in ours.
I am a journeyman carpenter and i cant even count how many homes and concrete jobs i have worked on. I want to let you in on a secret. Your contractors are doing an excellent job! I can tell by your video that they havent missed anything. You see how neat and tidy they keep it? That doesnt “ just happen” that’s experience and professionalism. They remembered the anchor bolts in for the walls. They have kep clay and dirt out of your crushed rock. The crushed rock is to get rid of any moisture and if you have lumps and clay and dirt in there you can wind up with a musty smell. You obviously sought out a quality contractor. Lots of people go with the very cheapest and you get what you pay for. I look forward to more videos. You should be very proud of this addition. The contractor on the foundation is doing a fantastic job.
Snow Shoes: In our area they get hung on the walls, with the deer heads and indigenous art. I just sold a set that was built with strips of dried rawhide lashing, to make the webs and hold the leather boot bindings in place. The wood is often ASH, since it has to be able to take the bends.
Boiled peanuts taste so good! You can get them plain, salted or spicy. I always get the plain or salted and they are so good. The tend to be a bit messy when you shell them. Love your flea market shopping, It looks like so much fun!
You and Roger make a sweet loving couple together. Very rarely are there people as kind and sweet that get along and share so many things in common. Congratulations to you both... I enjoy your channel so much and am appreciative of the way you explain things when purchasing items. I love watching your thrifting at the Goodwill stores. You find so many great finds for inexpensive prices. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, your home, and the secret to reselling.
Fringe Night Light: Spread the 2 wire loops open, on the back side, and it will fit over a light bulb in the usual manner for many shades that do not have a harp style shade attachement.
Trixie Belden as well as The Bobbsey Twins were my books of choice growing up….started collecting The Bobbsey Twin books again, just for fun! Also, I have that folk art pig planter that I’ll be listing in my Etsy store soon! Great taste, Karen…💕
I love those tables full of items to buy. I especially liked the little night light but Karen, the happiness in your voice just steals the show. I am truly thrilled for you and Roger. Can't wait to see more of you both.
Agree,so well said,the happiness in her voice is so cute,and Roger has a parade of friends,we will all show up at her party to meet them,maybe there's another Roger in the bunch 😊
Happy Day! You're video is up! Great way to start my day! Hey, I'll take your 72 degrees! We had spring then it decided to snow a few days ago.🤦♀️😪 In Anchorage, Alaska. 🙂✌
Tall foundations: as you mentioned they are good for water runoff and snow melt, but it also creates a barrier for wood boring insects like Termites and Carpenter ants. When they do try to create tunnels up the foundation, it's very easy to spot them. Which is why it's good to keep large bushes away from the foundation and siding. The next step will likely be the floor joists and sub-floor, then the walls. Having the sub-floor down before the walls provides a nice flat workspace to build the walls on. If the crew is big enough, they will often put the exterior sheathing on (plywood or OSB) the walls before the tip. Sometimes I even add the Tyvek house wrap before lifting the walls in place.. Keeps the work on ladders down to a minimum. There just have to be enough team members (or equipment) to lift the walls, once built. It's faster to do the work on the deck, but gets heavier to lift. Looking good!
What a fun video, you guys are so sweet, I’m getting a “toothache “🤣😂 Your hitting it out of the “ballpark” ❤ you found the best treasure ever, your husband 👏 the house is coming along great 👍
Good find with the Sam Toff prints. I have a couple and they sell between $50 - $75 each. Yes! old gut woven show shoes do bring money. They are used in decor for cottages, cabins, mountain homes and resorts.
I have 4 or 5 of those night lights , one just like that and some more elaborate. I think I bought them from a TV shopping network for my Victorian home... I really love the floral chintz ones I found in the shape of teacups for the kitchen! I can't seem to find them anymore but I have one in every spare Outlet! I love night lights everywhere for security, beauty and my insomnia! I can find my way around at night thanks to my night lights
Admire your energy so much- with all of the work you do and how beautifully you keep everything organized and then you have time to throw parties- WOW!!!
Thank you for this great video👍❤ Watching the two of you makes me smile, and I can get into your happiness and get out of my head. Good luck with your house, and making it part of your beautiful home.👏❣
I wonder if that glass pig demijohn is meant to be used as a terrarium. I'd love that! I'm so very happy for you and Roger! The addition looks very nice so far; they really are fast workers.
It's darling that Karen and Roger have become a 'we' in conversation. Loved this one, Karen--it's so fun to discover the items with you and hear your thoughts.
Silver Plated "Pill Box": It looked like it had a vertical slit on the side, so I suspect it's for holding a roll of Postage Stamps. I made one for Rose, many years ago, when we lived in Hawaii from their beautiful local KOA wood. She still uses it, but very few stamps go out each month.
This was a lot of fun! Thank you, as always, for sharing your journeys with us. I feel so invested in your house renovations, lol. I love all of the choices you’ve made so far.! You have beautiful taste so I am sure the finished product will be absolutely gorgeous. 😊
I have never heard of Trixie Belden books before,and I was often at the library, loved reading as a kid,but my male dogs name was Trixie growing up,Trixie and Motown music got me through my childhood.
Karen, boiled peanuts are a HUGE sell here in the south. I live in South Carolina and buy the green peanuts when they are in season and boil my own. I add a lot of salt as well as chicken bouillon to my water. They are delicious. I am from the north originally and have to admit I thought the same as you when I was first introduced to them!
The tea chest most likely had crystal glass bowls inside. The weight of the glass inserts would’ve held it down. Often ignored by thrifters are plain, round or square vintage clear glass bowls. The tea box lovers (especially Brits) enjoy buying them up super cheap especially antique box restorers. Higher end Tea box dishes come in 3s - 2 small n one larger bowl in the center for mixing. Folks repurpose tea boxes n the glass dishes usually get separated.
Old Tea Chest: I agree that it's for tea, which used to have enough value to need to be locked. Used to see them at the antique vender market when I lived in Japan. Too bad it doesn't stand up, but if you kept it full of tea it might be more stable with the added weight.
I grew up having boiled peanuts every summer when visiting grandparents in Georgia. They are DELICIOUS and the homey smell they create in the house while boiling for hours is the best! You need to use green raw peanuts and salty water for the best results and boil the snot out of 'em!
Your videos bring such Sunshine to our day,and today I needed some of your Sunshine,I was watching your video as I laid on the dirty ER hospital bathroom floor,cuz after 7 hours of waiting I wasn't able to sit anymore and then asked the nurse how much longer til I am seen,she said they are busy and at least a minimum of 5 hour's, so I left and went to the Doctors office,but I thought as I lay there,I can bet no one else is watching Karen's video from a dirty ER bathroom floor,disgusting yes I know,I thank you for brightening my day.
Your home is absolutely charming, love the older houses with charm. I can't wait to see the addition going up! Great score on the shopping and ( with Roger!)
You have the most sweet calm voice! It’s a pleasure to watch your TH-cam channel! You inspire me! I want my eBay business to grow!! Congrats to you and Roger 🌹Janet from NE Mass.
Boiled peanuts cooked by someone who knows how are delicious! My college roommate was from New Jersey and she thought I was saying “bald peanuts”. She went to college in Columbia SC with this Southern girl and learned to love them.
I think the blue pot with the lid is from Robinson Rainsbotton. It’s a pottery company from here in Roseville Ohio. It is now closed but produced so many beautiful things. Worth a fair amount of money as they closed many years ago (2005)
I love your videos. I was glad I found you. I watch be ause we have no money our home caught on fire and we had no house insurance so money is tight. So,your show is a godsend to me. Thank you so much.
The big Glass Pig looks like those that were made by Libby in the 1970s and many are listed on various sites. With the original box and in some colors they seem to go for good money. Most sellers are still calling them banks, but it does look like pulling the cork snout out would be a pain.
Oh yes, I’ve had boiled peanuts, you boil them in the shell in salt water. Very popular in the Deep South. The addition to your home is coming along very nicely.
I love how that lady licks her finger and tries stain removal on the fossil..lol.
I was just dying!! Ugh
All I can say is you & Roger certainly keep hope alive!!! Who knows - love might be just around the corner if we all go out & get what's ours!!
Well, I went to McDonalds one day to get coffee and met a man I married 4 months later, so yes, you never know where love is waiting. So, "go out and get what's yours.""
Love this comment. My thoughts exactly

I think they are an acquired taste. But so good....
Be Careful, they are so addictive !😋
@@susansawatzky3816 I was coming to say the exact thing!!!! They absolutely are addictive!!!!
I'm so buying that pig planter!! I have the matching cow and bunny one has to be the same artist!!!!
you are lucky to have met Roger He seems so authentic. you get what you see. He just seems so nice...

Fun video at the sunny flea market! I am enjoying watching the progress with the addition at your home. I am so happy to see you and Roger so happy!
Roger's so smart with sports!! Love it ❤ DO we love a good Roger knowledge YES WE DO!!
Fringe Night Light: Spread the 2 wire loops open, on the back side, and it will fit over a light bulb in the usual manner for many shades that do not have a harp style shade attachement.
Beautiful green bowl at 15:21 by the blue covered dish!
May be a Southern Thing, but boiled peanuts are delicious! 😀😃🙂
Don't you blanch the peanuts, first. If your answer is yes...then it is a southern thing.
Trixie Belden as well as The Bobbsey Twins were my books of choice growing up….started collecting The Bobbsey Twin books again, just for fun! Also, I have that folk art pig planter that I’ll be listing in my Etsy store soon! Great taste, Karen…💕
It's a postage stamp box.
I myself would line it with blue velvet🎉😊
Wonderful finds, Karen and Roger. You two are all over it! Glad you found a qualified contractor for your addition!!🥰♥️

The large, clear glass pig is a 1970s container for a terrarium. They we're very popular.
You need the part of the night light that you plug in and holds the bulb. They also have the on/off button
Wish we had been able to see the prints you had purchased at the fair
She may show them to us in more detail in an upcoming haul video:)
I love the new addition. It is all beginning to come together. Your wedding is getting close. I know you are excited, and I am excited for you.
“This is how we roll.” I love you two. You remind me of me and my hubby Phil ❤️
Had boiled peanuts once when I lived in FL--wonderful!
Good find with the Sam Toff prints. I have a couple and they sell between $50 - $75 each. Yes! old gut woven show shoes do bring money. They are used in decor for cottages, cabins, mountain homes and resorts.
You two need a wagon or basket cart for all the treasures you bring home.
Karen in the uk we have those dog man pictures ,in fact my sister brought one ,she paid 15.99 for one ❤️❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧
That was fun to watch.
I have 4 or 5 of those night lights , one just like that and some more elaborate. I think I bought them from a TV shopping network for my Victorian home...

Good on you Coleen hope you're well.
🌺So enjoyed tagging along with you and your Roger on this flea market trip! I think you both are precious!🥰🙏
You’re still digging for gold and you found it in Roger!
Just love you guys!❤❤❤
Yesss. Love primitive!! Furniture mostly and the east coast has the best Primitive furniture!
I wonder if that glass pig demijohn is meant to be used as a terrarium. I'd love that!
I'm so very happy for you and Roger! The addition looks very nice so far; they really are fast workers.
OMG. I'm first ?? Grabbing a drink..
Shell clock is cool! My son brought me one back from his trip to the Philippines.
The addition is really coming along.
What a good deal
.50 for a big cookie 😮🍪
My mouth was watering looking at your piece of cake.🎂🍰
Karen, just love your expressions and humor!😁
It's darling that Karen and Roger have become a 'we' in conversation. Loved this one, Karen--it's so fun to discover the items with you and hear your thoughts.
The Top Hat! I NEED that Top Hat!!
We have a vintage pair of snow shoes handing on our wall. Quite the conversation pair.
You 2 are so great together ❤❤

Ah, you spotted the slit later on!
Thank you Karen

I loved reading Trixie Belden books growing up. The little silver looking box with the slit is for your roll of stamps.
I have never heard of Trixie Belden books before,and I was often at the library, loved reading as a kid,but my male dogs name was Trixie growing up,Trixie and Motown music got me through my childhood.
I grew up in OH and have always loved/collected primitive architecture elements. I now live in TX but still like what I like!!
This is all so exciting! So happy for you both!
You both are starting to laugh alike, so cute! ❤
I loved, loved, loved Trixie Belden. My best friend and I always pretended we were Trixie and Honey. ❤
How exciting! I would be at that window watching all day lol. Love all your videos!
Me too! I love a good build!
Great flea market! I think Roger should have gotten the top hat for the wedding!

I add a lot of salt as well as chicken bouillon to my water. They are delicious. I am from the north originally and have to admit I thought the same as you when I was first introduced to them!

I grew up in South Carolina and it’s a big southern snack. I love them and look forward to my Florida trips to grab some

I wa by the Pig Tin garden box!! Love it!!
Do we love a good build? Yes we do!!
Boiled peanuts cooked by someone who knows how are delicious! My college roommate was from New Jersey and she thought I was saying “bald peanuts”. She went to college in Columbia SC with this Southern girl and learned to love them.
I was raised in Southeastern NC and my family raised peanuts and sold boiled peanuts Love them
Boiled peanuts are sooo good! You don’t know what you’re missing. ❤
If you add house addition videos every single time at the end I will not complain about it! 😂🎉
Snowshoes sell great in Petoskey MI at their summer shows. ANYTHING camp/cottage!
Yeah! Nova and I are here again. Love the videos of you guys shopping together. ❤
boiled peanuts are great and they aren't hard to eat like hard roasted nuts. I like the hot ones with salt and red pepper flakes.
I think the blue pot with the lid is from Robinson Rainsbotton. It’s a pottery company from here in Roseville Ohio. It is now closed but produced so many beautiful things. Worth a fair amount of money as they closed many years ago (2005)
Roger wears many hats 😂 so funny! You 2 are so cute! I am hoping you record the wedding 🎩
I love that you are outside again thrifting, So fun!!! Congrats on having a thrifting partner, also so fun!!!❤
omg that bakery.
I love the dolls you picked up! I want her so badly for my granddaughter
Love seeing the progress on your home. Great flea market! You guys are so sweet together.
I love your channel and all of your home and new marriage updates💜.
Wow what a fun trip to the flea market. You're so lucky to have so many great thrifting and flea markets in Pa. Fun! 😊
Boiled peanuts are very common thing in Mississippi.. Sometimes vendors set up beside rural highways and sell there.
I love your videos. I was glad I found you. I watch be ause we have no money our home caught on fire and we had no house insurance so money is tight. So,your show is a godsend to me. Thank you so much.
I love that flea market!! Addition is looking so good! 😊
I loved Trixie Belden books when I was a kid!
Boiled Peanuts are great and salty. I lived in Winder Georgia and always stopped at the roadside stands. Good Times.
The Santa is very cool!

Beautiful view beautiful ❤
Boiled peanuts are awesome. I make my own in the summer and can them.
You don’t listen to yourself because you are attracted to beautiful large items as your passion. Nothing wrong with it occasionally!
Oh yes, I’ve had boiled peanuts, you boil them in the shell in salt water. Very popular in the Deep South. The addition to your home is coming along very nicely.
The Joe st Clair vase may have some value and since you don’t mind shopping glass. Possibly made in small factory inElwood , Indiana.
