You are so adorable and real and charming, an absolute breath of fresh air! And I think your food is wonderful as well! It's lovely to have your voice added to the world of food media!
Literally made a channel JUST to comment this. In Japan they repair broken plates, mugs bowls etc with gold. Don’t know how (maybe gold resin..?) BUT it looks extraordinary and it’s meant to symbolise the beauty in putting broken things back together! Cute, poignant and v. functional: what’s not to love? Ps obsessed with your content, keep it comin’
I remember the time when my brother just moved to Berlin (where I live) and I said "hey, I just got this new sofa table, we just gotta pick it up, was a real steal, can you please help?" (which is never so much a question but a "you come help"). Of course it was marble and I still get serious side eye from my brother whenever we talk about this bonding, humbling (as you said) experience. Needless to say it was worth it and the table is a masterpiece. Never pass on a marble table.
Try oiling and waxing with orange oil, it’ll expand the wood back to how it used to be, I had a checkerboard chopping board that did the same. It’s like magic 🪄
love love love the way you repeat the GREAT things that others that may not be aware of and the thrifting skill they should be picking UP ON! I really ALMOST never shop in retail stores as thrifting gives you way more enjoyment! I thank the gods that my mother raised me and my sisters right in that my fondest memories is of day long thrifting trips to "the big city." Thank you for bringing that joy back AND NOW i must try your tiramisu recipe!!!!
To fix the bowl, just cut a wedge of wood to size, a bit bigger than the crack itself. Place into the open space either glueing it all together (make sure it’s a tight fit) or somehow slam a few nails in it (you could use wooden ‘nails’ to make it look better, just drill a hole where you want the nail to go, find a long round stick of wood ever so slightly thicker than the hole diameter and ram it in but with care). Afterwards just sand the impurities till it looks nice and round. Finish with a food safe something, like beeswax or boiled linseed oil (read instructions carefully, since it can combust spontaneously, never throw the rag you use to rub it in straight in the garbage).
Such good finds like that teak bowl, glasses, glass trivet 😍but really I’m so jealous of that marble table find. I’m now looking at the thrift stores in the richie rich area 🙃
it was a leftover martini I needed for a shoot hahahah! I love my Breville Barista pro. I thrifted one, then I received a newer model, but I can confirm it’s definitely worth the splurge. You can wait until they have a sale! It’s the best espresso machine I’ve ever had :)
The cleanest way to fix the bowl, if you have access to a table saw or large band saw, is to cut the bowl in half in line with the grain of the bottom circles wood. Then break the small wedge all the way off, clean the surfaces, then glue it back on with a polyurethane glue (like gorilla glue brand in the US). This glue needs a humid wood, so wipe the joint with a wet paper towel about 1 mins before glueing. Once the two halves are solid again, use a large disk sander or a sheet of sand paper glued to a flat surface to sand the inner surfaces flat, and then glue the two halves of the bowl back together, again with polyurethane glue, and a nice clamping setup. This seems more complicated than cutting a wedge, but in reality, to cut a wedge that fits well, you'll need all these tools anyway. And you'll never get a sturdy glue joint trying to drive a wedge into the wood like that - it's likely to split the other side from the force of pushing the wedge in. Good luck, it's a beautiful bowl!
Hi Carolina- You found some great stuff! I love to thrift too! It's a treasure hunt! I am so glad I found your channel because you make cooking so approachable and fun, I am looking for a food processor or a blender to make some of your recipes. Do you think I need both? Which one would you purchase first?
That makes me so happy! Thank you for being here, Janet! I would purchase a food processor first, I find myself using it much more often than my blender :)
@@gelen Thank you! i will keep my eyes peeled for a processor. I go thrifting almost every Saturday. However- I've been lazy and getting there at the end of the day. I agree with your tips and need to go thrifting during the week.
awesome thrift pull, and I was wondering why I don't detect an accent.. if you've only been in the country a few years! care to sate my curiosity? thanks ha
That pie dish at 0:25 has the same design as my parents' Dansk dinnerware. I think the pattern is called Maribo and it was only made in the 80's, so definitely vintage.
ive been saying the same thing for years about the cost of trash cans. hate it. got the automatic one at wallyworld for $40. still expensive for a TRASH CAN
There is literally nothing you could do better. This video is perfect in every way

What great finds! You are inspiring me to go thrift hunting for some items I want in my kitchen.

that's hilarious!!! you're right, never pass on marble tables, they're a gemmm

Such great advice Carolina.

ayyy, go for it! can’t wait to see what you can find 🧡
❤I love your channel so much
I learned to use my glass cake keeper thing as a punch bowl.....my life is completely...😂😂
Only question I have is.. what is "leftover cocktail"? 🤔 🤗 thank you! Great tips! I'm still trying to find a legit espresso maker
it was a leftover martini I needed for a shoot hahahah! I love my Breville Barista pro. I thrifted one, then I received a newer model, but I can confirm it’s definitely worth the splurge. You can wait until they have a sale! It’s the best espresso machine I’ve ever had :)

The upside down punch bowl thingy could also be used to make parfait or trifle! My mom used to have one of those.
omg, great idea!!!
Drill small holes on both sides of the gap. Use metal wire or cooking twine to repair the gap. It will look very unique
2:54 awww so cute! 5:35 I feel you lolllll Love your haul videos - I'm curios how you store them & use them in the future hehe ;)
stay tuuuuned :)

You are so giddy with joy over your thrift! More Power to you! You are definitely Romanian 😁 I'm so proud of you! I was born in Bihor, how about you??
the thumbnail for this vid is great
I really appreciate that 🧡
awesome thrift pull, and I was wondering why I don't detect an accent.. if you've only been in the country a few years! care to sate my curiosity? thanks ha
Maybe you could find someone to do kintsugi, Japanese gold repair, on the bowl!
Good point!
What a holy grail watch!
ayyyy, so happy to heat that :)
Do you think you could do a post on the cooking items/ equipment you think is helpful?
That sounds like a great idea!
Soak your teak bowl for a couple of days to swell the wood, add Elmer's glue and clamp it for 24 hours.
Where did you find these??? Especially the wine cooler?!
check out the link in the description, I talked more about the thrift stores there :)
A margarita glass. 🤣 Perfect. How long do you spend in a thrift store in a visit? 🤔
Usually less than an hour :)
That pie dish at 0:25 has the same design as my parents' Dansk dinnerware. I think the pattern is called Maribo and it was only made in the 80's, so definitely vintage.
ohhh, sweeet!
Hi Carolina!
I’m back, we are over due for a new thrift episode lol 😝🌷🥰
we really are 🥲😅
😂 yeah. I did what you did. Now I have a house full of expensive old stuff.😮
ive been saying the same thing for years about the cost of trash cans. hate it. got the automatic one at wallyworld for $40. still expensive for a TRASH CAN
SO EXPENSIVE!! AND FOR WHAT 😆
But what city, state do you thrift in?
SLC, UT :)
Use clay to repair the crack.
Buy wood Putty Stick for filling in cracks of wood
Will do 😌
Can I be your man?
