After taking you shopping I'm showing you my thrifted haul and how I plan to style it. Thanks for stopping by to go thrifting with me. I hope you have a wonderful day and happy thrift store hunting!

Hello and thanks for watching. Can you believe I almost passed up on that piece of art!? I'm so glad you liked it and that I went back for it. 😁Hope you have a wonderful evening. XO
Hi there! So glad you stopped by to watch. I hope the potted trees all comes together like I envision in my head. 😅 I will definitely share that decorating video with y'all. Thanks for watching and I hope you have a wonderful day. XO
We have a fireplace in our kitchen. We since learned it was outside on a patio and at some time it was enclosed and added to the kitchen. I did not like the brick at all. I wanted to enclose the brick w/wood panels & molding, and to dress it up I got corbels & 2 antique plinth blocks. One day on Marketplace I found a top of a antique pump organ. It flashed in my mind it would make a beautiful top to my fireplace. Like you said, Lesa, if you see a pc of furniture, find a way to rethink it & repurpose it. My project turned out absolutely stunning & amazing. I have a one of a kind fireplace and now I can't cook, I just have to sit around and look at my gorgeous fireplace all day long! The showcase of my whole kitchen, in fact my whole house!
Hey there! I love this! Your fireplace, surround and mantel sound gorgeous. What a wonderful find with the antique pump organ. Very original and unique. Like you said, one of a kind. Cooking is overrated when you have that fireplace to enjoy. 😉 I love your creativity and am so happy you shared that with us. Maybe it will give someone else the vision to create a showcase in their home. Thanks so much for being here and a part of this little family! Have a fabulous evening. Xo
Hey there. I'm so happy you enjoyed the video. Life is too short to be ordinary. Instead, be unique! 😘 Thanks so much for watching. I hope you have a fabulous evening. XO
I have a 26 volume set of the world book of knowledge from 1915 on mint condition. I paid $5 for the set. These books were sent to families in rural areas by by mail every month. They teach children every thing from milking cows to making butter, to sewing, etc. my kids loved reading them.
That is an awesome find! If things ever go downhill you will have all the knowledge needed to live off the land again. Information that will be lost with technology and the internet. A very special treasure and for such a great price! XO
So neat So many beautiful , wonderful values of America way back when....... everything was taught to us from milking farm animals ..to table manners ........ Missing alot of those values today ..sadly ....my good friend I was astonished she doesn't even know basic table manners ....does not know how to cut up tiny bits of meat ..then lat knife on plate but by but ....I grew up in a larger ..cultured city from the town I live in now ..😮💨
Hi Wendy! I love vintage Christmas. Wish I had decor from my childhood. I remember my mom having some beautiful decorations but don't know what happened to them all. Hope you have a great day and thanks for watching. XO
Hi there! Thank you so much for watching. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Can you believe I almost past on that ice skating print?! That would've been tragic. 😅 I hope you have a wonderful day. XO

Hi Mimi! So glad I could share that with you. Thrift stores have a great selection of Christmas items. Definitely check it out. Thanks for watching and I hope you have a fabulous day! XO
You are so welcome! I love sharing my finds with you. Thank you for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed the haul and how I styled everything. Have a fabulous week! XO
Hi Brittany! You are a master thrifter! Your thrift stores seem so much better than my option too. Thanks for watching and I hope you have a wonderful day. XO
Hello there! Thanks so much for watching. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I couldn't believe my luck of finding that painting late on the last day of the estate sale. Was meant to be that I rescue it. 😊 Hope you have a wonderful day. XO
Hello Lesa! I love your creative ideas. I’m new at thrifting, I have passed up some good items according to your findings. From now on I’m going to look at the items totally different. Thank you ☺️
Oh my gosh! Your southern came out so much when you said “crazy wild” and it just made my whole day. ❤ I’m from Canada and it just sounds very sweet and wholesome hehe. 😊
I love going thrifting at goodwill. At least once a week I visit our local store. So many great finds! Thanks for sharing with us. Have a great weekend.
Hi there! I'm so glad you shared your love of thrifting with us. It is so much fun. You just never know what you will find. Thanks for watching and hope you have a fabulous day. XO
I need to go to goodwill asap! I just hope I find some great treasures at our location! I love that reindeer candle holder and those little nutcrackers are so adorable. The mirror was a great find too! ❤😊
Hi Terisha! Definitely go check Goodwill out and often. They put new merchandise out every day so you just never know what you will find. So glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching and have a wonderful day. XO
I started thrifting about a year ago and I love it. Can't tell you how many things I've gotten that I love. I've gotten so much Christmas greenery, plates to give to friends that don't have any, a bunch of candlesticks that I've grouped on the mantle, baskets and well, I could go on and on. Don't forget little neighborhood thrift stores. I found designer coats, wow. It's addicting.
Those are wonderful finds @tenak7278 and what a blessing to your friends. I really wish there were more thrifting options where I live. When I get the chance I love to check out thrift stores and antique malls in different cities. Thanks for sharing your great thrift finds!
Hi there and thanks for watching! Estate sales are the best for finding unique treasures! So glad you found some good stuff! Happy thrifting and I hope you get to go again this weekend! XO
Hello and welcome! It is a pleasure to meet you. I'm happy to hear we share the love for thrifted treasures. Thanks for watching and I hope you have a great evening. XO
Hello! I hope 2024 has been treating you kind! Mine has been crazy busy so I am just now able to get caught up on some messages. But I love reading and answering as many comments as I am able. Brass is such a beautiful accent. 😍I love that we have that in common. Thanks for watching and I hope you have a blessed weekend. XO
Oh Lesa!! What beautiful finds!! I love to thrift! We don’t have a Goodwill close by but we do have a lot of antique vendor malls and that’s where we shop It’s so fun!! I also love to collect brass pieces The old book is beautiful! Love the wreath holder and those beautiful prints Can’t wait to see what you do with them!! 😊 Very inspiring my friend and TFS!! ❤️
Hi Melissa! You need a Goodwill and I need more antique vendors! Not too many of those near me. 😅 It is so much fun to just look and see what treasures there are to be had...or more times than not walk away empty handed. Thanks for being here! Hope you have a great day. XO
I lean toward transitional or transitional styles. Eclectic curated / collected decor styles. I've recently gotten interested in an updated cape cod cottage style . But for Christmas I love the French county , old world masters ornate styles. Gilded or marble look cherub pots, urns, velvet, satin, brocade, organza ribbons, brass, stone , cement and marble items and carved candle sticks . Toille and chinoisere styles to give the decor an old world rennasance feel. Perhaps some victorian thrown in with crystals candles and mirrors for reflection, Dried hydrangeas , magnolia , gilded leaves and scented candles , potpourri with al the pine, orange, and pecan pie smells of Christmas dinner. really enjoyed this video. Right up my Christ birthday celebration style.
Hi there and thank you for watching. I love all the things you described. Sounds so beautiful. Christmas is a time when you can go big and grand with your decorations. You said it best with Christ Birthday Celebration! I may decorate as a hobby and for fun but try to never lose sight of the reason for it all! I hope you have a wonderful day. XO
Thank you so much for sharing all of the beautiful ways you made your thrifted finds new, again. There is something so special about items that have been previously loved and cared for by others. The love still shines through and your unique styling shows the potential in each item. Hope you have a blessed holiday season.
Hi there! I love your comment so much. You are right. There is a specialness in finding these treasures! So glad you enjoyed the video! I appreciate you watching and hope you have a fantastic week. XO
Hi Lesa, you got so many beautiful treasures thrifting. Love the lamp and the artwork. The brass pots are gorgeous. Love the deer candle holder. You did a great job restoring it. Thanks for sharing. Great video. ❤🎄🎅
Hi Margo! So glad you enjoyed the thrift shop and haul. I know you have an eye for finding great thrifted home decor pieces as well. So many treasures out there to rescue. Hope you have a great day! XO
Hi there! I'm so happy that I gave you some new ideas. Shopping your home is even better than shopping at the thrift store! Thanks for watching and I hope you have a great day. XO
Hi there! Hope you are having a great week so far. Thanks for watching. I think I am definitely going to make over the burgundy pot. It ended up that I didn't use it for Christmas but think it will be perfect for winter and spring after the holidays. XO
Hello there! I definitely hit Goodwill on a good day. Sometimes it isn't like that. The hunt of thrifting right!? Thanks so much for watching. I hope you have a great week. XO
Hi Lesa! That lamp and Hobby Lobby picture is so nice! It looks really good! What a fantastic idea and I absolutely love those brass pots with the trees! I might have to borrow that idea if I can find any! Love the urns and love the cross stitch! Love the deer, I could go on and on! You found so many treasures for sure!! Thanks for the wonderful ideas and can’t wait to see it styled! Stay well! ❤❤
Hi Dawn! I'm so glad you enjoyed the thrifting video. You borrow away all you want! That is why I share. 😊 Thanks for watching. I hope you have a great afternoon. XO
Hello and welcome! Sorry for my delayed response. On the heels of the holidays, 2024 started out with my son getting married so I have been extra busy. I am just now able to get caught up on some messages. But I love reading and answering as many comments as I can. I'm happy to have you here and hope you continue to enjoy my videos! Thanks for watching and have a wonderful weekend. XO
What a fun video, Lesa. I have loved thrifting since I was a teenager. You've inspired me to go holiday thrifting at my local stores tomorrow for seasonal decor. The Hobby Lobby snowy wall art and the winter scene oil painting are indeed fabulous finds! Can't wait to see your trees in your brass pots and urns. Too cute. You did a beautiful job on the mirror, too! It's always a joy spending time with you. Be well! - xx, Carla
Hi Carla! I hope you were able to find so special thrift finds for this Christmas! Thrifting is so much fun. You just never know what you will find. Thanks for watching and for your sweet comments. Have a fabulous weekend. XO
Hey Lesa, I love all your beautiful treasures! My favorites are the vintage prints and the oil painting. I love the names and dates on the back of the one vintage piece! It just makes my heart happy❤
Hi Bren! Those were truly special finds. I'm glad you find the same things heartwarming that I do. I can just imagine the person pouring their love into that needlepoint with each stitch. Thanks for watching and I hope you have a great afternoon. XO
Hi Lesa, Hope you're having a great weekend! The plates and the cups were so cute, that Hobby Lobby frame is lovely and the lamp what a great find! The desk you found what a great idea to make it as a mantel, the brass dishes loved them very pretty can't wait to see the trees in there! Awww the vintage needle and point art is amazing!! So many gems Lesa ❤❤
Hey there! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video and all the thrifted finds I came across. So many possibilities just waiting out there. 😉 Thanks for watching and I hope you have a great day! XO
I love looking for baskets at goodwill and I found some good ones in the past! Love the brass pots and I love ur vision with the mantle. I’m very into gold this year!
It seems crazy to pay full price for baskets when they almost always have a good selection at the thrift store. Gold is a very elegant Christmas color! Your decor will be beautiful. It always is! Thanks so much for watching! Hope you have a great day. XO
You have great ideas. I love the metal deer. Last year I found a grapevine deer wreath( I have a deer theme) that I found at Goodwill. It’s amazing! I also have that exact wreath holder. I use it to display my custom wreaths. I’m loving that vintage sketch of children skating too!
Hi there and thank you for watching. The grapevine deer wreath sound pretty! The wreath holder really is a nice piece to have. I know I can use mine all year round like you probably do. Thanks for sharing. I hope you have a wonderful day. XO
Yes our goodwill priced themselves out of my budget.....and the selection is poor. I quit shopping there. However I did enjoy your video! Thank goodness for dollar tree and crafting! Great idea on the Christmas Tree pots! Love it!
Hi there! Thanks so much for watching. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. It really is a shame what Goodwill had done. I wish I had other thrift store options near me but unfortunately I don't. I hope you have a wonderful evening and Happy Thanksgiving. XO
OMG 😮. When you said that you don’t know who prices item’s because they are all over the place. I just had to respond!!! That is exactly what I say every time I go into a thrift store. 😂
Yes! 😅 Dollar Tree items marked for $4-5! Like what!?! 🫨 Thanks so much for watching and for your comment. I love hearing from you and this made my day. XO
Hi there! Yes! Thank you for sharing this tip. I've cleaned up many baskets this way. So glad you stopped by to watch. Hope you have a wonderful evening. XO
In Dallas texas we only have a couple little goodwills. They are terrible. Suburbia have a couple Salvation Army. Very few thrift stores here. Goodwill collects our donations and take them to towns hours away. It’s a shame
I hope that things adjust and get back on a good track soon. It is bad when even thrifting isn't doable. I can't believe they take all the donations out of the area! What a shame. Thanks so much for watching and for your comment. I love to hear from you! XO
Hi I live in Scotland UK, and the little brass pot you paid $2 for I have the exact same one right here on my desk, I don't know where you came from as you just popped up on UA-cam. And my pot was given to me as a gift from my sister about 25 years ago and she found it at a second-hand (thrift store) shop with a plant in it, lol I have just mesg her to tell her, now the question did your pot go to USA all the way from UK or did my pot come all the way USA to the UK lol xoxoxox
Hi there! I love this and am so glad you shared about your brass pot! Mine is marked made in India so it is well traveled one way or the other. 😊 I live in Texas and one day I will visit Scotland as it is on the top of my bucket list! Thank you so much for watching and again for leaving your comment. I love to hear from people that watch. Hope you have a wonderful week. XO
@@UniquelyLesa Yes very well travelled, and when you do your bucket list and get to Scotland give me a shout would love to show you around my city, and Texas wow that takes me right back to the 1980's as Wednesday night at 9pm was Dallas time lol xoxox
I grew up watching Dallas! Who shot JR? 😅 I once had the privilege of touring South Fork Ranch in Dallas. What a great experience to be where they once filmed parts of the show!
Wow that must have been fantastic Lesa, I am going to look for reruns on tv, bring back the 80's lol, oh I just remembered the big hair lol xoxoxox @@UniquelyLesa
I''m slowly but surely replacing made in China with vintage items. I've pretty much done that with any of my dishes/china. You really have to hunt for a good bargain at Goodwill these days; some of their pricing is laughable, especially on Dollar Tree items, or Hobby Lobby items that you could buy brand new at a much lower price. We have a lot of estate sales locally, and that's where I find the best bargains. Where did you get your small flocked trees?
Hi there! Thank you so much for watching. I love that you are replacing items as you find them. Such a beautiful look too! I wish there were other thrift stores near me besides Goodwill. The pricing is just so random and like you said, buying new is sometimes cheaper. I love estate sales and garage sales! So many nice treasures to rescue. The larger flocked tree is from Dollar Spot section in Target and the smaller one from Dollar Tree. Hope you can find them! XO
Hey there! Unbelievable isn't it!? It makes it very difficult for anyone relying on thrift stores as a means to save on necessary items they may need. 💔 Thank you so much for watching. I'm glad you stopped by. XO
Good morning and thank you for clarifying. I didn't think that could be right originally. 😅 The ice skating print is by Lauren Ford and titled Milton Pond Mass Thanksgiving Day from 1939. Hope you have a wonderful day. ❤️
@@UniquelyLesa Lesa, I wanted to ask you, please take a photo of this engraving on skates, I can't find anything on the Internet when I searching. I would be very grateful for your help. I really liked this engraving from Loren Ford. Looking forward to. Thank you, sincerely Elena. 🙏
Hi there! Yes, so sad. I know they have to make a profit like any other store in order to remain open but it is getting out of control. Dollar Tree items for $3 and $4. Thanks so much for watching. XO
I've noticed that in my store as well. And they've pretty much done away with half price days. I wish I had other options in thrift stores close to me but Goodwill is the only one unless I drive far. Thank you for watching. XO
....BE SURE TO TAKE TIME OUT OF THIS HAPPY SEASON TO CALL JOE B. AND THANK HIM FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO CHRISTMAS SHOP AT THE LOCAL GOOD WILL STORE ...FOLKS VOTE WISELY.

Very inspiring my friend and TFS!! ❤️
Hi Melissa! You need a Goodwill and I need more antique vendors! Not too many of those near me. 😅 It is so much fun to just look and see what treasures there are to be had...or more times than not walk away empty handed. Thanks for being here! Hope you have a great day. XO
I lean toward transitional or transitional styles. Eclectic curated / collected decor styles. I've recently gotten interested in an updated cape cod cottage style . But for Christmas I love the French county , old world masters ornate styles. Gilded or marble look cherub pots, urns, velvet, satin, brocade, organza ribbons, brass, stone , cement and marble items and carved candle sticks . Toille and chinoisere styles to give the decor an old world rennasance feel. Perhaps some victorian thrown in with crystals candles and mirrors for reflection, Dried hydrangeas , magnolia , gilded leaves and scented candles , potpourri with al the pine, orange, and pecan pie smells of Christmas dinner. really enjoyed this video. Right up my Christ birthday celebration style.
Hi there and thank you for watching. I love all the things you described. Sounds so beautiful. Christmas is a time when you can go big and grand with your decorations. You said it best with Christ Birthday Celebration! I may decorate as a hobby and for fun but try to never lose sight of the reason for it all! I hope you have a wonderful day. XO
Great finds! The gorgeous book and deer candle holder are my favorite. Loved how the mirror turned out also. Looking forward to your upcoming videos.❤
Hello there and thank you so much for watching. I'm glad you enjoyed the thrifted finds. I can't wait to share my Christmas decorating. ❤️
Thank you so much for sharing all of the beautiful ways you made your thrifted finds new, again. There is something so special about items that have been previously loved and cared for by others. The love still shines through and your unique styling shows the potential in each item. Hope you have a blessed holiday season.
Hi there! I love your comment so much. You are right. There is a specialness in finding these treasures! So glad you enjoyed the video! I appreciate you watching and hope you have a fantastic week. XO
I loved that book
I'm so glad! It was probably one of my most favorite finds from this haul. Thanks for watching and hope you have a great day. XO
Hi Lesa, you got so many beautiful treasures thrifting. Love the lamp and the artwork. The brass pots are gorgeous. Love the deer candle holder. You did a great job restoring it. Thanks for sharing. Great video. ❤🎄🎅
Hi Margo! So glad you enjoyed the thrift shop and haul. I know you have an eye for finding great thrifted home decor pieces as well. So many treasures out there to rescue. Hope you have a great day! XO

You are so welcome! What a blessing to get to go thrifting with your sister. Fun times. XO
I love this. You gave me great ideas for things I already have!

Hi there! Hope you are having a great week so far. Thanks for watching. I think I am definitely going to make over the burgundy pot. It ended up that I didn't use it for Christmas but think it will be perfect for winter and spring after the holidays. XO
you always find the best things, you have the eye and patience for it, something I don't have haha. Love your style, Lesa! Xoxo
Hi Molly! Thrifting seems to be the only thing to get me out of the house these day. 😉 So glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching. XO
You realy made your finds look really nice.
Thank you! So glad you stopped by to watch! Hope you are having a great day. XO
Lovely
Thank you so much! XO❤️
The store had some really good items ❤

Fabulous ideas!
Thank you! I'm so glad you stopped by to watch. Hope you have a wonderful evening. XO
Great finds 🙌🏻
Thank you! So glad you stopped by. XO
Hi Lesa! That lamp and Hobby Lobby picture is so nice! It looks really good! What a fantastic idea and I absolutely love those brass pots with the trees! I might have to borrow that idea if I can find any! Love the urns and love the cross stitch! Love the deer, I could go on and on! You found so many treasures for sure!! Thanks for the wonderful ideas and can’t wait to see it styled! Stay well! ❤❤
Hi Dawn! I'm so glad you enjoyed the thrifting video. You borrow away all you want! That is why I share. 😊 Thanks for watching. I hope you have a great afternoon. XO
I am so happy I found your channel, Lesa! You’re right…Goodwill prices have gotten a little crazy! Cindi (from WV). 😊
Hello and welcome! Sorry for my delayed response. On the heels of the holidays, 2024 started out with my son getting married so I have been extra busy. I am just now able to get caught up on some messages. But I love reading and answering as many comments as I can. I'm happy to have you here and hope you continue to enjoy my videos! Thanks for watching and have a wonderful weekend. XO
Interesting finds! Those nutcrackers are really sweet and special! ❤
Hi there! Thanks so much for watching. I'm glad you liked the nutcrackers! They really were a good find. XO
Beautiful decor, and great ideas!!! Thrifting is the best!
Hi there! Thrifting is so much fun! I haven't gotten to go in a few weeks so I'm overdue. 😄 Thanks for watching and I hope you have a great day. XO
What a fun video, Lesa. I have loved thrifting since I was a teenager. You've inspired me to go holiday thrifting at my local stores tomorrow for seasonal decor. The Hobby Lobby snowy wall art and the winter scene oil painting are indeed fabulous finds! Can't wait to see your trees in your brass pots and urns. Too cute. You did a beautiful job on the mirror, too! It's always a joy spending time with you. Be well! - xx, Carla
Hi Carla! I hope you were able to find so special thrift finds for this Christmas! Thrifting is so much fun. You just never know what you will find. Thanks for watching and for your sweet comments. Have a fabulous weekend. XO
love this
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching. ❤️
Hey Lesa, I love all your beautiful treasures! My favorites are the vintage prints and the oil painting. I love the names and dates on the back of the one vintage piece! It just makes my heart happy❤
Hi Bren! Those were truly special finds. I'm glad you find the same things heartwarming that I do. I can just imagine the person pouring their love into that needlepoint with each stitch. Thanks for watching and I hope you have a great afternoon. XO
Hi Lesa, Hope you're having a great weekend! The plates and the cups were so cute, that Hobby Lobby frame is lovely and the lamp what a great find! The desk you found what a great idea to make it as a mantel, the brass dishes loved them very pretty can't wait to see the trees in there! Awww the vintage needle and point art is amazing!! So many gems Lesa ❤❤
Hey there! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video and all the thrifted finds I came across. So many possibilities just waiting out there. 😉 Thanks for watching and I hope you have a great day! XO
I love looking for baskets at goodwill and I found some good ones in the past! Love the brass pots and I love ur vision with the mantle. I’m very into gold this year!
It seems crazy to pay full price for baskets when they almost always have a good selection at the thrift store. Gold is a very elegant Christmas color! Your decor will be beautiful. It always is! Thanks so much for watching! Hope you have a great day. XO
I am a new subscriber and think all your thrifted finds are fantastic! Looking forward to future videos.
Hello and welcome! I'm so glad you are here. I'll definitely be brining you more thrift videos in the future. Hope you have a great day. XO
Use can use your blow dryer ..i use mine to get dust off of flowers and baskets too. 😊
Hi there! Great tip. Thanks for sharing that with everyone. I appreciate you stopping by to watch. Hope you have a great Friday! XO ❤️
You have great ideas. I love the metal deer. Last year I found a grapevine deer wreath( I have a deer theme) that I found at Goodwill. It’s amazing! I also have that exact wreath holder. I use it to display my custom wreaths.
I’m loving that vintage sketch of children skating too!
Hi there and thank you for watching. The grapevine deer wreath sound pretty! The wreath holder really is a nice piece to have. I know I can use mine all year round like you probably do. Thanks for sharing. I hope you have a wonderful day. XO
Really enjoyed this video, thank you and happy holidays !
Hi there and thank you for stopping by to watch. So happy you enjoyed it. Hope you have a wonderful holiday season as well. XO
Yes our goodwill priced themselves out of my budget.....and the selection is poor. I quit shopping there. However I did enjoy your video! Thank goodness for dollar tree and crafting! Great idea on the Christmas Tree pots! Love it!
Hi there! Thanks so much for watching. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. It really is a shame what Goodwill had done. I wish I had other thrift store options near me but unfortunately I don't. I hope you have a wonderful evening and Happy Thanksgiving. XO
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family too!
@@UniquelyLesa
Hi! New subscriber...love the shop alongs! ☺
Hello and welcome! I'm happy to have you here. So glad you enjoyed the video. XO
I just found you! Beautiful things.
Fantastic video!! New subscriber
Hello and welcome! I'm happy to meet you. Thanks for stopping by and saying hello! See you again soon. XO
OMG 😮. When you said that you don’t know who prices item’s because they are all over the place. I just had to respond!!! That is exactly what I say every time I go into a thrift store. 😂
Yes! 😅 Dollar Tree items marked for $4-5! Like what!?! 🫨 Thanks so much for watching and for your comment. I love hearing from you and this made my day. XO
Any reed basket can be washed in the sink with warm, soapy water, then rinsed and left to dry.
Hi there! Yes! Thank you for sharing this tip. I've cleaned up many baskets this way. So glad you stopped by to watch. Hope you have a wonderful evening. XO
In Dallas texas we only have a couple little goodwills. They are terrible. Suburbia have a couple Salvation Army. Very few thrift stores here. Goodwill collects our donations and take them to towns hours away. It’s a shame
I hope that things adjust and get back on a good track soon. It is bad when even thrifting isn't doable. I can't believe they take all the donations out of the area! What a shame. Thanks so much for watching and for your comment. I love to hear from you! XO
Hi I live in Scotland UK, and the little brass pot you paid $2 for I have the exact same one right here on my desk, I don't know where you came from as you just popped up on UA-cam. And my pot was given to me as a gift from my sister about 25 years ago and she found it at a second-hand (thrift store) shop with a plant in it, lol I have just mesg her to tell her, now the question did your pot go to USA all the way from UK or did my pot come all the way USA to the UK lol xoxoxox
Hi there! I love this and am so glad you shared about your brass pot! Mine is marked made in India so it is well traveled one way or the other. 😊 I live in Texas and one day I will visit Scotland as it is on the top of my bucket list! Thank you so much for watching and again for leaving your comment. I love to hear from people that watch. Hope you have a wonderful week. XO
@@UniquelyLesa Yes very well travelled, and when you do your bucket list and get to Scotland give me a shout would love to show you around my city, and Texas wow that takes me right back to the 1980's as Wednesday night at 9pm was Dallas time lol xoxox
I grew up watching Dallas! Who shot JR? 😅 I once had the privilege of touring South Fork Ranch in Dallas. What a great experience to be where they once filmed parts of the show!
Wow that must have been fantastic Lesa, I am going to look for reruns on tv, bring back the 80's lol, oh I just remembered the big hair lol xoxoxox
@@UniquelyLesa
Wow 4 dollars for those Christmas mugs is crazy .
I was shocked! They probably weren't that price new. Crazy.
👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you! Have a great day. XO
I''m slowly but surely replacing made in China with vintage items. I've pretty much done that with any of my dishes/china. You really have to hunt for a good bargain at Goodwill these days; some of their pricing is laughable, especially on Dollar Tree items, or Hobby Lobby items that you could buy brand new at a much lower price. We have a lot of estate sales locally, and that's where I find the best bargains. Where did you get your small flocked trees?
Hi there! Thank you so much for watching. I love that you are replacing items as you find them. Such a beautiful look too! I wish there were other thrift stores near me besides Goodwill. The pricing is just so random and like you said, buying new is sometimes cheaper. I love estate sales and garage sales! So many nice treasures to rescue. The larger flocked tree is from Dollar Spot section in Target and the smaller one from Dollar Tree. Hope you can find them! XO
Goodwills in NC have become so expensive!
Hey there! Unbelievable isn't it!? It makes it very difficult for anyone relying on thrift stores as a means to save on necessary items they may need. 💔 Thank you so much for watching. I'm glad you stopped by. XO
The painting, who is the author? Children skate.
Good morning and thank you for clarifying. I didn't think that could be right originally. 😅 The ice skating print is by Lauren Ford and titled Milton Pond Mass Thanksgiving Day from 1939. Hope you have a wonderful day. ❤️
@@UniquelyLesa Thanks! Have a wonderful day! ☕☀
You too!
@@UniquelyLesa Lesa, I wanted to ask you, please take a photo of this engraving on skates, I can't find anything on the Internet when I searching. I would be very grateful for your help. I really liked this engraving from Loren Ford. Looking forward to. Thank you, sincerely Elena. 🙏
It's sad that thrift stores are raising there prices
They are and its unacceptable
2nd Ave has reduced to one color
They will lose my business soon
Hi there! Yes, so sad. I know they have to make a profit like any other store in order to remain open but it is getting out of control. Dollar Tree items for $3 and $4. Thanks so much for watching. XO
I've noticed that in my store as well. And they've pretty much done away with half price days. I wish I had other options in thrift stores close to me but Goodwill is the only one unless I drive far. Thank you for watching. XO
....BE SURE TO TAKE TIME OUT OF THIS HAPPY SEASON TO CALL JOE B. AND THANK HIM FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO CHRISTMAS SHOP AT THE LOCAL GOOD WILL STORE ...FOLKS VOTE WISELY.
