HAPPY DECEMBER 8TH EVERYONE!!! Instead of participating in Vlogmas this year, i'll be dedicating all my December uploads to THRIFTMAS! I'll be posting daily vlogs in the lead up to Christmas, and i'll only be posting about THRIFT SHOPPING!!! Videos like.... Thrift flip, thrift haul, thrift with me, thrift makeover, thrift store challenge, Christmas thrift, anything and everything I can think of to get into the holiday spirit while keeping costs low and keeping my consumption sustainable!
In todays video, I show you all the items that I purchased when I visited 10 different thrift stores in Sydneys Northern Beaches, including the first Goodwill i've ever been to! I plotted out my op shop route based on what time the stores open and close, as well as driving essentially in a straight line from one side of the Northern Beaches to the other! I picked up a wide range of homewares, clothing & Christmas presents including vintage items, quirky and unique finds, boring things to flip and a bunch of pastel items too! For anyone looking to visit the stores I went to, check out Thriftmas Day 7 ( • I WENT TO 10 THRIFT ST... )
For anyone looking to visit the stores where I bought the items in todays video, these are the locations:
Vinnies Balgowlah

The “at home or on safari” is from a English pottery company called Henry Watson! They’ve been a company since 1800.
yes, each of them (in this style) retail for about £15-20 each... so, an ok deal on the lot of 2.
And wasn't the brown "creamer" thingy the same series like the one Coffee thingy Sam got? :))))
@@AniRSm I bought several pieces of Charlotte Watson pottery when we were in England when my son was stationed there in the Air Force. We even went to the quaint factory where there it is made and bought some lovely pieces to bring home. I so wish I could get more!. You are blessed to find them!
You got those glass balls for a great deal. Hang them up with fishing wire where the sunlight comes in and shines on them and enjoy! Every time I find ONE where I live it’s $20
Definitely!! A baby mobile-esque hanging would be gorgeous.
Are they not baubles for a Christmas tree?
@@ravioliravioli6168 I mean, you could put them on the tree but it wouldn’t be doing them any justice. It’s thick hand blown glass and most beautiful when the sun is shining through it.
Depending on the artist I've seen these range from $20 to $40 each. Either hanging on fish line or a Crochet basket.
My mom loves those hand-blown glass balls, and they typically retail (where I am) for $30-$40 USD each, so even though $8 each feels pricey, it's really really not.
“I’m an adult now, I can be a little bit cheeky if I want to be,” should be everyone’s personal style motto 😆
Definitely going to get this on a shirt 😂 loved this part.
@@Midnightpigeon666 genius
I just about physically SCREECHED when you said dark academia thrift haul!
The only problem I have with these videos is that it makes me want to go out and thrift and we're heading into a second lock down in California. Those frames are fire
One of the reasons I left california back in june
Same! Got the official alert today that my county is in lockdown. No thrifting for us for awhile. Boo!
I'm in Cali too, one day we can go out
Yea, I’m in California & went thrifting the other day & it’s time to head BACK INTO LOCKDOWN NOW
The frames make me think of Ursala from the Little Mermaid. XD
So....basically, If you knew the woman who brought all that stuff to the store, you could just visit her house instead of 10-20 shops 😄
😁LOL. Glass, porcelain, ceramics has always been my family's kryptonite. My 💖parents were into modern, Japanese, mcm & chinoserie.
😢Inherited their mass collection of kitchenware & decor that they lovingly gathered over their lifetime. Most of their items are in ◾black & ◽white, but they do have a smattering in🔹️indigo blue & 🍥pink. (👻 Never fear, I am
🔍finding good homes🏘 for a lot things too. Also passing on a portion of my own {& fraternal grannies} stuff in the process.)
🖤 Love, love, love the different silhouettes of Asian pieces, esp. the lidded ginger jars.
🖤Loved most of the colors my parents picked too, 😔but not so much of the 💐floral, 🎏carp, crane, temples, or 🎎other traditional patterns👎. For the vases, bowls, tea pots, etc. used in display, my solution is really simple. ⚛Rotation.
#1🔁Swap 'em out, so I can enjoy all them. Just not all out at once without feeling like I live in a boutique. 🛍Allows me to shop my own "closet" in essence for a fresh seasonal look.
#2↪Rotate actual items when out on display🏺, so any obtrusive pattern portion is facing toward the wall (or the center if they were in a grouping). These stunning pieces can be appreciated without all the traditional imagery facing outward that is not as pleasing to me.
#3↩ Do leave the motifs I love facing outward⚱. These pieces typically make sense of my color groupings too. (A girl with "matchy" instincts needs things that make sense.)
#4 Trying to develop my own bohemian* eclectic aesthetic that leans:
▪Mid-19th Century. Pierre-Auguste Renoir vintage romantic, rustic French style with a literary (academic/scholarly) twist. ▪20th Century influences from 1930s/40s as well as mcm|atomic age.
▪Heavy on kitsch and pop-culture vintage vibe where sense of whimsy come in.
(*Not to be confused with Boho Chic that favors heavy 1970s vibes & Danish mod).
☯️Desire a balance of ♀️+ ♂️. Love grand estates like in "Downton Abbey," but I hail from generations of hearty 🐴farm🐮 folk. I belong "below stairs"⬇️. Love beauty & elegance, but not ultra fussy formal furnishings, decor, or style.
#5 🍽Largely favor industrial style dishware that can "take a licking, but keep on ticking⌚." Although nowadays, l am also mixing in some fancier, finer (more special occasion) things that deserve to be 🔃rotated🔄 in on a more regular basis.
#6 ♻️Plus, there is no reason beautiful things can't also be cleverly repurposed to fit everyday functional needs too.
☄Et Voila. So far these principles are helping me create a home that ultimately sparks joy!
~~~~~~~~~~
✉ ps Her pretty Japanese floral pink vase set strikes me as 1980s. My parents once had a similar set in dark gray. 😉I would've kept if in pink instead.
🖤Love Japanese ceramics. Overall, they do favor quirky shapes & sizes, esp. on lidded dishes. They are genius with smaller vessels.
🤔Surprisingly, I had already acquired several mod Japanese solid rose pink serving pieces in 80s that I originally mixed-n-matched with classic white ware. So, in essence, I never strayed too far from my parents color schemes or preferences.
I just had a weird thought what if the lady who donated all the items Alex picked was actually future Alex doing a clear out😳🤯😜
Came here to say that 😂
Congrats you just make a time loop
🤯
I believe it. Rick and Morty made an appearance.
Weeew
“I’m never going to burn this.”
Me: uhhhh
“It’s a candle.”
Me: oh
😂 I had the same reaction
🕯Sorry, not on the same page.
😮Open flames kinda freak me out anyway. 😝Hate matches & lighters. 🌬After a lifetime of secondhand smoke, my lungs don't need anymore. Besides, I also grew up in a wildfire area🔥. When outdoors will sometimes light citronella candles to ward off dratted mosquitos.
👃For scent, I like the metal rings from 💐Crab Tree & Evelyn (circa 90s) that sit on top of a light bulb💡. You fill the rings with drops of essential oils. Once ♨️heated by the bulb, the perfume will nicely permeate the room.
😉 Don't as a rule buy candles, but I understand her desire to preserve it. 🐚Have a set of light blue vintage Avon shell-shaped soaps inherited from my Gramma Ruby💋 (a former award-winning rep). They reside in a lidded apothecary jar where no guest would mistake their primary purpose. That is, in my case, to spark joy🎉.
👐To wash hands, liquid handsoap is available in a clear glass (pump) bottle. That method seems far more hygienic. ✌😊🤙
All I could think about when she was talking into the vase is that Archie really takes after his mom 😂
So you can actually buy sam's at home or safari collection and the pieces range from around 12 to 60 pounds . its by henry watson pottery and theyre a small business!
Thank you!! I was totally gushing over their prettiness and found their website thanks to you! Aaa 😭
You should turn the two large white swirly glass vases into lamps. A lamp shop could wire them for you. They would be stunning!
🍥That would be a cool repurpose for this pair.
▪They💲sell bottle lamp kits that rest in the top opening. They would probably work in a vase like that w/a narrow neck. Range from $15-40 USD.
▪🔌No drilling needed for the power cord. It's not the traditional way to wire a lamp, but it will work w/o ruining the vessel as a 🌼vase.
▪Depending on the style of kit, she might have to buy the lamp shades with the metal clips that clip over the light💡bulb.
🤔Something to keep in mind.
🦋
I just wanna make an appreciation post for Alex and the sheer amount of work she very clearly puts into her videos.
The content is never boring, the editing is on point.. every s i n g l e one is 15+ minutes (most at least 20). That's a long runtime for a TH-cam video, and I can say with certainty that they keep my attention, I never feel bored, nor do they feel drawn out. If anything, I'm left wishing they were longer.
She is a 10/10 flawless content creator who is unproblematic and feels like a real genuine person rather than someone just trying to profit off their audience, even drawing to attention the inner workings of working on TH-cam and the somewhat shady stuff that goes on there.
I first visited for Archie, but I subbed and stayed for Alex. We do not deserve her but need more like her.
yes this thriftmas series is making me so happy. i’m going thrifting with my mum soon and i’m so excited to do thristmas along with you.
“Small, quirky and unique” is Alex’s equivalent to “it’s noice, it’s different, it’s unusual” from Kath and Kim 🤣
I love that show. Not many people know of it 😄
Omg it really is! Now that you have pointed it out, that's all I'll think of lmao
im an aussie living in canada and i watch it when im feeling homesick 🤣🥰
hahahahaha yes!!!!
Whenever Alex says 'good', all I can hear is Kath!
I love the swirly set of dishes you're collecting now, I seriously hope you find more so its enough to have like a whole dinner set! I love them and their mismatched colours but matching swirls.
Just thought I’d throw this out there, but noodle vases crept their way into my dream last night and I woke up feeling very strange. They really are everywhere.
You could turn the glass basket into a gift basket as a present. Get some chocolates and a few other small things to put in. It would be very cute!
Yes give away. It is beautiful but not you. Some people put fruit, real or other wise, in them.
I was thinking fancy lollipops!! In bright colors!!
You could have it as the focal point on a shelf. Surround it with a mixture of glass and ceramic pieces that are white, pink, peach and coral. When finished if it still sticks out a little in the wrong way you could put a beautiful realistic looking faux pink peony flower in it to mute the orange down a little. Loving thriftmas ❤️🎄😘
Jen Ocidoll omg yes I was thinking that like a Christmas basket gift 🎁 lol
@@andiegirl3702 😉Like your idea with 🏵peonies in the basket. Think the shape is too special to pass on bcos of the bright orange.
I wish this is not just a Christmas series.
About what you sad in the ending of the video, i watch your videos for you even when things aren't my style you just make the videos fun like your personality and everything is just amazing ahahha
the pretty glass balls are called _Witch Balls._ nope, i'm not kidding. 🙂
I love witch balls and have three my self
Black and white photos would look nice in the purple frames they remind me of the haunted mansion 🖤
I want her to find mirrors to go in them and they can be the mirror mirror on the wall
your thriftmas vlogs have opened my eyes to the beauty of glass vases and other decorative items. I mean, I knew there were a few pretty items here and there, but never really saw much potential in them at op shops and now I'm gonna do some thrifting soon
100% same!! I couldn’t like your comment more. I definitely feel I have much more appreciation for vases and other decorative items!!
I literally wake up everyday and watch this while I'm getting ready for work and I love it, it brings me so much joy bc I cant go out myself and thrift so I love watching others do it and finding things they love!
New game: drink every time Alex says “propagating”
i miss thrift shopping. this is making me miss it more. not that i'm going to risk it because i'm in the states and it's mess here. i'll just live vicariously....
Dude same. It's such a mess here
Let's gooooooo thriftmas with mask and hand sanitizer and 6 feet away
UK is not any better face mask and hand sanitiser are the new fashion accessory lol
goodwill has a website that you can bid on
Postmark is always an option
First timer either way is 3 mins, once the second one is empty that’s four mins then the last one is five mins in total. For boiling egg, soft medium and hard. X
Keep going you are awesome.
Also for tea! I believe it's white, green/herbal, black teas
The noodle vase to rule them all looks like a mysterious delicate sea creature.
Reminded me of celery!
I forget the full name but it’s Venus something. It’s a sea creature but look it up it reminds me of that
@@plantsandpastels5712 Venus' flower basket?
@@lateoclock4281 yeah that!!!
I've watched you for years now, and these thrift videos are some of my absolute faves! I hope you'll do more in the future! I just love seeing what you find! :D
The slat lamp definitely had a bulb in it at some point, you can see the cutout where the cord should sit. I have an almost identical one
Yes! And they need an oven bulb (or similar small bulb) in it so that it keeps warm, otherwise they leak water. You can get them separately.
Same! and its such a nice glow I love it
@@ellahalloran6135 so that’s what happened to my mum’s was like it had dissolved we found it after years of it being tucked away completely ruined :/
you can get those salt lamps on amazon, maybe the replacement lights would be there too?
gives me serotonin everytime you add something to a collection
The Alannah Hill dress made me think adult, well adjusted Violet Beauregarde 😅 (based on the original Wonka film)
The pink Himalayan salt lamp is supposed to have a plug in to light up, someone must have ripped it out. That's why there is screws on the bottom.
Shout out to Sam for being an absolute legend! 💕 brings you coffee, dyes your hair, tries on your clothes for an entire haul video 😂 true friendship in action. So heartwarming to see. Love you guys 💕
But also can't wait to see Dan in his shirt!
This is getting me through quarantine, seriously it brings me so much joy. Hands down the best idea ever, Alex. Thank you so much ❤
Drinking game: Take a shot everytime Alex says "quirky"😂
Really appreciate the quality and length of the videos in this Thriftmas series! It much be so much work for you, but I’m really grateful!
I am loving Thriftmas! I feel like I am treasure hunting with you! I hope you do more of this content outside of the holiday season ❤
Poor Velma Dinkley. Everyone always forgets her name lol
Here's a cute idea: make a advent calendar with little thrifted Christmas presents for one of your friends. I think anyone would love to receive that!
This is a great idea!
I SAW A MUSHROOM LAMP HERE IN SWEDEN!! IKEA PINK LAMP GANG LETS GOOO
I wanted to say that this format makes it feel very personal. Like you are a friend that is just checking in on me everyday... It is very comforting!!
these videos are like being brought along for a treasure hunt and I love them
I hope the iridescent dolphin gets to live with the shells. I think an "ocean" shelf would be cute!
This has literally been my favorite series on TH-cam by far
you have a really pretty singing voice
Those christmas baubles look like baubles you can get in Murano or in Venice, Italy. Murano is definitely worth visiting (post covid) if you love glass 🙂
“I’m an adult now, I can be cheeky if I want to be.” 😂🥰 you look stunning in your clothing picks!
Please tell Sam, the necklace is beautiful! Im really loving these vogs!
This is so adorable! Can't wait till its safer in America to go thrifting again!!
Right?? All these videos are making me REALLY wanna go thrifting and rummage sale-ing again!! Can't wait...hoping next summer is better than this year :)
Same ive been itching to go to the thirft store again!!!
SAME
Sameeee, I wanna do thrift diys sooo bad
@@heytheresunshine5760 glad you havent gotten sick, but best to err on the side of caution and stay home if you can, you may be asymptomatic and spreading it to others. but i know, it's tough! my local thriftstore in montreal closed before the pandemic so i havent had the temptation!
I love the dress at 13:14-ish, it would look beautiful alone or with a lacey chemise under it if you’re not feeling quite as cheeky lol. I love thriftmas!
I really love the purple frames. They would look amazing with mirrors in them. The blue dress and the Boohoo dresses look beautiful on you.
The purple velvety picture frames have Disney Villainess vibes. You should totally turn those into mirrors! Or save them for a fun Disney picture someday.
Mirrors were my first thought too!
The color of the forever 21 turtleneck crop shirt looks SO GOOD on your skin tone 🖤
this series is the best thing to happen to me, you have no idea alex, waking up to a new thriftmas video is one of the small things that brings me joy 😭🖤
I love watching thrift videos cause I get secondhand excitement from watching people find something that’s perfect for them. It feels just the same as finding something for myself
"Wow, wow, wow I feel like Madeline!!" So cute!!!
“The show that must not be named.”
A versatile statement
Do you know which show was she talking about? I'm so curious haha
@@ClaudiaFerreira-nq4fl Game of Thrones, the ending was sosososo bad!
With Archie's vibrant colors, those purple velvet frames would look amazing with some super HD photographs of him in them
Can we all agree Alex had like an out of this world singing voice. It's like an angel
Honesty the thrifting series is something that feels so personal and organic and honest that its wholesome content and buying from second hand stores is something more people are able to do budget wise and more consumer friendly. Its definitely worth waking up in the morning for and watching right away as it brings joy to my day before starting work.
i really hope this will become a series after december. like one or two thrifty videos a month or something because i just love them sooo much
I wouldn’t say those glass balls are Christmas ornaments. I’d hang them in the window all year long.
Watching people blow glass is amazing! The process is beautiful and it's crazy what can be created.
THE LITTLE SONG AT THE BEGINNING THOUGH ! IT WAS SO GOOD !! 😱😍
I never want thriftmas to end.
I'm fairly certain the "noodle vases" are for wine. Like, as a kind of fancier way to pour it for parties and such.
Your personality and charisma is what keeps everyone coming back , not what you buy.
Stay true to who you are and you cant go wrong.
My college had a glass blowing program and it was always so fascinating to watch them through the door windows in the hallway. They'd also open mini markets in the school sometimes to sell the glass they've made and I picked up some beautiful Christmas ornaments that I will treasure forever. So much respect for hand blown glass!
I love second hand stores, you always look at the spoons. In Sweden you cant find those spoons with pics on. But I always go digging in the button bucket. Thay usualy have alot of nice ones.
I look at all those glass things and wonder how long they would last in my house. My cats like to knock things down.
🐱Yes, my pal has four adorable beasts. (Two sets of sisters.)
🎄She skips the tree as a result of past fiascos.
On top of being wildly playful, three are super skittish. They've accidently broken things on lower levels in their haste to get away.
She does have a couple of high ledges where these acrobats can't climb. These are the only two places she can safely display some ⚱vases and pretty bottles.
The "Noodle vase to end all noodle vases" looks like a leek. I love it.
Your thrifts are soooo satisfying. I cant believe you actually found matching items from different places. I just love matching decor ❤️
I think the really small jars are incense stick holders.
The tall green glass vase looks like a giant celery stick 😂
Thriftmas is such a great a idea and works for so many reasons. 1. Sustainable shopping 2. Content wise there is always something new there so there's always content to be made. Whether its hauls or DIYs by default it can't be repetitive. I'm really excited for the next video.
I’m absolutely LOVING the new content! I also binged watched your Japan videos because you could tell how authentic you were and happy and I’m getting the same vibes from this video! Keep up on saving the planet girly I can’t wait to see more thrift finds and thrift flips you make!!!!❤️
Anyone else really enjoy her little song in the start?? I've been loving this thriftmas 🥰 so much more interesting than the normal vlogmas yayyy
Make sure you leave the salt lamp running all the time - usually it’s a super low wattage. - if you turn it off and on it actually will leak everywhere.
Until I read your comment, I didn't even know that salt lamps can actually leak. I've had salt lamps all my life and that has never been an issue. I would have never thought that a humid environment might be problematic for salt lamps seeing as how I live in Germany where it's not particularly humid. You live and learn. Thanks for the info!
I love the witch balls. The hand blown glass balls. In the past used as fishing float, now are for decoration. The were put in windows to ward against witchcraft.
I started watching this right as it went live and then started to fall asleep (not because it’s boring, because your voice is just so calming) and just finished it and oml I just love watching these videos
9:32 Pastel pink jeans/slacks, a flared pink skirt, or a pink pencil skirt would be so cute with that top!
hahaha my grandma has the exact shell lamp you put a picture of at our beach cottage. We painted them pastel pink :)
I love watching how excited you get with sopping. You can literally film yourself buying anything and I will enjoy watching it. ❤️
this is my fav series ever and it makes me so happy bc I love thrifting and doing up thingssss !!! I love love love
I woke up at 9 am today and saw that you hadn’t posted yet so I went back to sleep and now I’ve woken up and immediately watched your new video :)
Why did I do the exact same thing...? Hahahahaha
This series gives me those "I went shopping and now I'm putting on a whole fashion show for my proud mum so she can see all the great deals I found" vibes
Even at 35 and not living with my mum if I don't show her EVERYTHING I buy I get in so much trouble lol
Yes Thirftmas for everyone! I do thiftmas every year. It is so much fun and you can find such amazing things.
I'd hang the glass boll ornaments in front of windows that gets lot of light. What beautiful color striations you would get throughout your rooms when the sun was shining.
FYI, that navy blue knit dress is stunning on you. It will be a great addition to your business wardrobe. ❤️❤️❤️
You have a kmart im so jealous! They closed alot of kmarts in the USA 😭😭
I miss Kmart sooo much!
I'm so glad I don't have to clean at Alex's house. XD
Me too x
I have loved these videos so much, I love thrifting and I love watching people find second hand stuff that they love or can repurpose. I try to tune in every day to watch!
Every night your video comes on my feed just after I put the kids to bed. It’s my favourite me time. Brings so much happiness to watch and really love seeing how you change certain things... and unchange yellow vases 😳
This series is so fun to watch and inspires me to get out and thrift shop! You're doing a great job!
I adore your appreciation for your thrifted items. I love thrifting too and giving older items a new life! Also, the boohoo dress is beautiful on you! 🥰
I'm so here for this. When I travel I don't buy from gift shops. I go to the thrift stores and look for shirts/things that have been donated. I feel like its a better way of find cool things and remembering the trip
I love how happy you are! You’ve grown so much since I first starting watching and I’m so proud of your happiness.♥️
You mentioned the shelves puckering when they get wet. You should either cover the tops in contact paper (big plastic sticker) or use a sealant.
Every single day you post it brings my INFINITE JOY
The baubles are amazing and the two matching vases that are glass and white is my other fave. They oddly remind me of a ribcage. These videos make my day, can't wait to watch them daily.
i love how excited you are about this. seeing unique finds are really interesting and has me wanting to start thrifting in my area. i have my own apartment thats not really decorated and this gives me a lot of ideas
