As an artist, when we stretch canvas on stretchers we use staples so, staples do not make it cheaply made just stretched by a artist supply co. Only thing I think you are referring to is that when a canvas is stretched properly you cant see the staples unless you look at the back because the canvas covers the whole side and gets stapled in the back of the stretchers. Please don't take this as a criticism, just tryin to share info. Yes they are harmony Kingdom, I collect the treasure "jest" boxes. They are called Treasure Jest because there is always something inside and there is always something that doesn't make sense about the sculpt. Fun to collect.
True! I used to be a gallery artist in san Francisco years ago. My paintings on canvas I stretched myself were highly detailed and sold for high prices. I only ever used a staple gun to stretch them.
You are so right, being unorganized is stressful. I didn't know selling on line was going to become a business for me, it started as a hobby. But like most, I love the thrill of the hunt/purchase. Now with a house full of inventory, I am torn between listing and organizing. To help me get it together, I have curtailed my thriftinng until I get a better handle on the situation. Thanks for the video.
Same here. I live in an apartment and haven't been able to sit on my couch for over a year, so no more sourcing for me until I get all my death piles organized AND listed!
Karen, Thank you for all you do❤! I started selling last year and its because of you Im doing ok. I have made a ton of mistakes and still learning. But, I’m growing. Thank you. You and Roger are hands down the best. I would love for you to have a meet and greet in Tampa!
I wanted to say thank you for introducing me to the brand Dansk. I found a partial set of Dansk dishes. Including 6 dinner plates. A single plate sold for $20. I can't wait to get them listed.
Fontanini is always plastic/resin. It sells fairly quickly. If you break up the set into Holy family, 3 Kings, and piece the rest out, you can make a good profit.
Morning Karen. My favorite item you shipped in this video was the blue and white ceramic couple. I have collected these figurines for many years and have a cabinet full of them. My grandchildren think I'm crazy. 😂😂 . I also love all the baskets you find .I collect them also. My kids are going to have fun later on 😂😂.
Karen, you are so good at what you do! I love the systems that you have set up, your eye for beautiful objects and clothing, and seeing the warm and loving relationship you have with Roger! Thank you for your videos❤
@@LannieLord 18 people at least so far didn't know it. I wondered because the photo could have been more valuable if they knew it was Nabisco... um, most of our food is made elsewhere...
Can I come over?🤣I am hungry now😅 Thank you for taking me/us shopping🥰 I always worry about your tiny wrists when you are pulling bens out. I know you know these things, but you are stronger than you look I am sure.🤩 I love it that you are so happy😘 makes for great videos.
Fun video, Karen! I think the French look metal holders are probably plant pot holders - I could use them, bc I grow Pelargoniums and they would look especially beautiful in those. Have a great week and weekend you two!
I love your commentary. Just curious if all your siblings look 20 years younger than they are as well. Your youthful energy and age defying look are mind blowing 🤯😁
Karen, please send pix of those white ruffled glass lamp shades to Kayla at Homeschooling Picker. She has a multiple stem light fixture that could use those. Although, I think she needs more than four, they still look like they could fit.
My basement is organized like yours but I have only 1600 items, however because I buy walk in closets full of items I frequently have a large amount in my to do pile.
My father always made sure women walked in before him. His mother died at seven, but his grand mother and male men around d him taught that. I see that in your husband I say, Oh, my father, what a great man!
FYI not all of PA is as good as your area. I live on the other side in the Erie Pa area and our Goodwill's are not as good....even Pittsburgh's are not as good. Love watching your channel!
It looked like the black & white 3 farm pics were real air shots of someone’s farm property. I’ve seen many of those at my friends old country farms of their farms.
My favorite movie of Joan collins is straight jacket, From the 60s and up until this day being in my 60s I still love dangling bracelets and make noise..
Desk Lamp Minute Mark 13: I've had the same lamp model on my office desk for many, many years. Back when I cleared delinquent storage units I'd process a hundred lamps a year, but something about the way the wood and brushed metal were done on this one appealed to me, so it became my desk lamp. I'm typing under it right now. But for resale, it has to make sense to buy it. 😉
I would have kept the goats because they are rare and many people raise goats and also make goat soap or sell goat milk, so I think they would love those on a shelf!
I enjoy your channel. Also a reseller here! And a Fontanini lover, got my set in the 90s,and enjoy setting it up each Christmas season. Fontanini is made of resin,which is desirable as it's durable and doesn't break. Each piece can retail into mid 20s and up, so getting many for that price is amazing..I'm hoping to find some for my children. (Oh wow, still watching, and you got them all for $6! Someone in that store likes you!)
Thanks for sharing about ur family... usually the organization personality traits u have come from mom and/or dad.. i was always curious about u...ur an amazing person
New Order Amish are often seen as one of the most progressive of Amish groups. Less traditional dress, neatly groomed beards and hair, and homes with telephones and computers are just a few things that set them apart from their Old Order counterparts.
Completely agree with your assessment of hard goods vs. clothing in terms of the differing amounts of effort required at different stages in the selling process. I, too, prefer hard goods in terms of listing, but packing is definitely not as much fun! TY for your content
Been following you from the beginning but barely comment. I have a question please...how did you learn how to tell if something is brass, crystal, onyx, etc. Also can you talk about how you can tell if hard goods are vintage - such as statues and wood boxes, etc? Thank you so much.
When you showed the framed portrait of Joan Crawford I thought that the signature may have value. So I looked on eBay Sold items and her signature has sold for $40 to over $1,000. I don't know what makes one signature more valuable than another but there is value there. R.I.P. Miss Crawford 🌹
Thanks for the information. That is good to keep in mind if I ever happen upon a signature. And I'm not surprised about Steve McQueen, he always looked rather miserable.
Being able to sleep anywhere is a good skill to have in your arsenal. In my early twenties, I learned to sleep standing up, leaning against a wall while serving as a sailor on board a submarine. Any chance to get even a quick nap was taken. 😉
Karen I love how you talk yourself into and out of purchasing a item..Do we love the conversations Karen has with herself. Yes we do.
Yes we doooooo❤
I knew you were going to say, “don’t do it” about the chicken! Too funny!🇨🇦

The glass thing you thought was a trophy, was a bag of goldfish xx
You make my day when you post a video!! My husband said that none of his post twice a week! I told him none were as good as mine!! Love ya'll!
I like it when you shop for clothes.
I loved it when she would show the clothes she bought.

Breaks my heart when I’m in a thrift store looking at frames and family pictures are still in the frame. 😭😢

My grandchildren think I'm crazy. 😂😂 . I also love all the baskets you find .I collect them also. My kids are going to have fun later on 😂😂.
I love it when you take us at Auctions.
That clock plaque is hilarious. It has the 1970's bursting out all over the place. 🤣 The onyx box is gorgeous. Beautiful item.
Karen - NABISCO is the National Biscuit Company!!! Great Find!
…because you are so purposefully gentle, I see🤩
Karen, you are so good at what you do! I love the systems that you have set up, your eye for beautiful objects and clothing, and seeing the warm and loving relationship you have with Roger! Thank you for your videos❤
Such a great couple..luv u guys
Enjoyed the goodwill shopping.
Thank you for sharing!
My son is moving to Lancaster area from Georgia. Maybe I’ll run into you when I’m visiting someday. That would be awesome!!
For those who didn't know the National Biscuit Company is Nabisco
It actually surprises me how many little facts so many people don't know. How did they play Trivial Pursuit?
@@LannieLord 18 people at least so far didn't know it. I wondered because the photo could have been more valuable if they knew it was Nabisco... um, most of our food is made elsewhere...
@@LannieLord btw, not ALL of Nabisco products are made in Mexico.
Another fun video, Karen. Your dinner sounds delicious!
I absolutely love your channel, you are so organized Karen. Thank you for sharing. You set the bar so that other resellers can follow

It’s a crystal cat with goldfish in its tummy. You stood it on its head lol.
You work so very hard. I admire you so so very much ❤️
Hello Karen and Roger love y'all videos keep up the good work
You step into a thrift store and your brain starts to perk ! Seems obvious to me, you love your job. How nice is that. 😊
Glass with fish was a bag not a trophy. You had it upside down. Lol
I used to go in that 2nd Ave when I lived down the street from it in Lansdale about 7 years ago. They had a huge selection of jeans.
Murano made fish in a glass bag tied with a bow. All glass with signature on the bottom. 12:31. I think you mentioned a trophy.
The grouse milk glass glasses are also put out by Fireking. They also have a bird line. They are worth a good amount.
That's a good way to explain it, You have a Good Eye!
You sound like me, I’m always asking what day is it !?! 😂
A fun video Karen and Roger!
That basement is a marvel!
You have excellent taste. Your eye for pottery is great!
2:38 that guy could not care less about *anything* 🤣😂
Love your videos, thanks for sharing.

Two of my very favorite channels.
@@LannieLord They were each married to different people but now they are a couple and just bought a house together.
My basement is organized like yours but I have only 1600 items, however because I buy walk in closets full of items I frequently have a large amount in my to do pile.
The little glass item with goldfish was supposed to be bag like when you buy or win a goldfish, you kept putting it upside down 😅
You are feisty today😊.
My father always made sure women walked in before him. His mother died at seven, but his grand mother and male men around d him taught that. I see that in your husband I say, Oh, my father, what a great man!
Thank you for your time and video. Looks like newer, brighter light in the shipping area!!
Unicorns go with everything! A couch’s value is measured in quality of nap.
Love watching your videos!!! Always interesting! Love you guys!❤
FYI not all of PA is as good as your area. I live on the other side in the Erie Pa area and our Goodwill's are not as good....even Pittsburgh's are not as good. Love watching your channel!
I like the Red White and Blue when I visit..
It looked like the black & white 3 farm pics were real air shots of someone’s farm property. I’ve seen many of those at my friends old country farms of their farms.
All the shopping you guys do, Roger wears eagle shirts alot.😂
I love the family stories
My favorite movie of Joan collins is straight jacket, From the 60s and up until this day being in my 60s I still love dangling bracelets and make noise..
U r soooo funny!!! Just love this ur channel
Love your channel. The ruffled glass shades are Fenton Silver Crest. Only 2 listed on EBay in that style. 😊
I can’t believe your booth doesn’t have electric! You could sell more lamps if you did
Check the front desk or put a note “tested” when done at home. No problem. Maybe suggest rewiring if very old.
I think organization is genetic just like the ability to roll your tongue😂
National Biscuit Company is now called Nabisco
National biscuit company is Nabisco. I have several of their early tins. They are pretty collectible. I’m sure the photo has value
I think it would be wonderful to meet some of your siblings on your channel. Are they as lovely and friendly as you? I love all your “rabbit holes” ❤
"Not A high end bird" and "don't jump" 😂❤ mary in missouri 😊

Those glass shades definitely Fenton. Probably sells for about $150 for all or more. Hard to find.
Agree, likely Silvercrest - beautiful but would be a pain to ship and shipping would cost a pretty penny, too

Question how do the amish buy your dresses if they dont use technology.?
New Order Amish are often seen as one of the most progressive of Amish groups. Less traditional dress, neatly groomed beards and hair, and homes with telephones and computers are just a few things that set them apart from their Old Order counterparts.
Every harmony kingdom trinket box i have ever sold was at least $19 to $39 plus ship. easy to photo / ship worth the time.
I saw a man taking his pants off at the Goodwill recently, nothing surprises me anymore 😂
Walmart 2.0?
Great save on the rooster
That knee scooter triggers a hard time in my recent past!! I was confined at home on a knee scooter for 6 weeks
My Fontanini nativity set is 40 years old and is hard plastic.

I love hearing about your family. I am the middle child also :)
Yeah my new to be Unicorn lamp is here! My birthday presentnt cant wait to get it oxoxoxoxoxoxo
Happy birthday!!💜
@@lavenderclothesline Thank you and love my lamp
I feel naked without a cart...
Love to hear about your siblings
Great weekend for your sales
Hmm…maybe a selling point for the couch!🤭. “Comfortable enough for a nap”? lol
NABISCO -- you know them...
Been following you from the beginning but barely comment. I have a question please...how did you learn how to tell if something is brass, crystal, onyx, etc. Also can you talk about how you can tell if hard goods are vintage - such as statues and wood boxes, etc? Thank you so much.
I have seen so many! Visit antique shops where items are marked

What's the time Mr.Wolf???? lol Hi Karen and Roger
Pocket fish??? Sooo cute!
Yes, those are the collectible Fontanini and that is the correct material!
Being able to sleep anywhere is a good skill to have in your arsenal. In my early twenties, I learned to sleep standing up, leaning against a wall while serving as a sailor on board a submarine. Any chance to get even a quick nap was taken. 😉
Thank you for your service!! 💜💜
@@lavenderclothesline You are welcome.
Very nice video Karen.
OMG! Please tell me you got the little goats??? I have a goat farm and would LOVE, LOVE them.
Maybe he was taking it for a test drive and found it so comfy he fell asleep! Lol
Thanks Karen,hope you enjoyed your chocolate cake with Roger.🥰
How about some pulling and shipping 😊😊😊😊
Morning Karen an Roger lv Ann uk 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️❤️❤️
Those goats are cute!
How do you know what to price things at?
Security, we have a jumper in aisle 9!
