    Hi I love the variety of your channel. I too love charity shops. My local Age Concern shop, gives me off cuts of fabrics and items they have been donated, which they can’t sell and I can make into tote bags for them to sell at a small cost. I find it therapeutic making something simple on my treadle sewing machine, from something that would have gone somewhere for waste fabric. I do have electric sewing machines as well, but that’s another addition 😮love the variety of knitting, spinning, weaving and sewing life is never boring, just need more time and space in the house 😂 I look forward to your next video.

      It's wonderful to hear that you love the variety on the channel! Your tote bags sound like a fantastic way to repurpose fabric and help your community. Keep up the amazing work, and I can't wait to share more creative ideas with you!

    Lovely video, I would say 90% of my furniture, books, utensils etc. are all second hand - I LOVE a hoik through the shops! You mentioned the Blue Tits, my good friend Charlotte who moved to the area a few years ago from London swims with them. Small world! I hope you have a great week ahead. 🙂

      Yes it is a small world, one of the things I love about You tube is that I get to internet meet such amazing people with shared interests. My friend is always trying to get me to join the blue tits for a swim but I keep chickening out, I hate being cold. So glad you enjoyed the video and you have a great week too.

    Hello Becca, I really enjoyed the garage sale and charity shop tour, I absolutely Love to do this too! I saw the copper pot and thought of our open fire we have been looking for one lol Anyway So many lovely things and I do like old furniture as well it was very interesting, that old trunk too gorgeous but not the mould lol unfortunately. Thanks for sharing and enjoyed the walking tour too. Well done to your shopping!

      I found it really hard to walk away from the copper coal scuttle as I loved it. The trunk would have been perfect but mould is just an instant no. I am glad you enjoyed the video and thank you for taking the time to comment .

    Look forward to your journalling as I've just taken it up too. I feel my tiny cottage would fit in the garage I had when I lived in America, so relate completely to your situation, but oh! the temptation at Paul Sartori and the Garage Sale was immense!

      It is so lovely to have you stop by. I feel there is a great story behind a Kiwi ending up in Texas. I'm glad you enjoy my funny quirky videos. I love making them and connecting with crafters from around the world. I hope your shop is going well. Becca.

    I love the variety of your videos Becca. It is always a treat to see you have posted. It has been very stormy here in northwest Washington state. Fall arrived with big winds and cooler rainy days and nights. A sharp contrast to last weekend when I stood high upon the southwest- facing bluff at Rosario Beach and soaked in the sunshine and warm breezes. One thing about living near the sea, it is never boring and ever-changing like the tides. I love it!

    I grew up in South Wales near Abergavenny but my beloved grandparents had a lovely old house in Narbeth, Pembs. It had once been an inn where carriages stopped to change or rest the horses and let the passengers eat. The garage was a huge old forge with the forge still in tact so there had obviously been a working farrier there too. Just hearing you mention Haverfordwest brought back so many memories including one of my grandfather's brother who also lived there for a while and he had a bat which slept in his inside pocket! My grandparents died over 40 years ago but they and the old forge will remain with me forever and sometimes my sisters and I still drive down there to stand at the gate and remember. X

    Nice to see what you are up to and to see your thrifting finds. I love thrift shops and am especially happy when I find something I need (I categorize yarn as a necessity!) Today I spent some time warping and threading my loom. I’ve started on my xmas gifts! Thank you, Becca, for another fun video!

    Thankyou so much for sharing this wonderful video podcast/vlog.
    I could see where you was going with your guests and the mis-matched crockery. There's something wonderful about things that go together but not necessarily matching.
    I love all your finds, bith from the Charity shop and the Garage sale.
    Enjoyed the fresh sea air. I appreciate you letting me tag along with you ( virtually).🏞
    I hope you've had a Wonderful Weekend ✨️🌟🌞

    Was that a “Rug Doctor” carpet cleaning machine?? They are so good!
    It’s Labour weekend this weekend. Traditionally it’s “change-over” time for school uniforms [winter to summer wear]. We will stop having fires… so hope it doesn’t snow 🤣🤣🤣
