I worry about Temu. I suspect their low prices are a result of either near-slave labor, cheap materials, both of those, or liquidation. Liquidation feels unlikely. To me, if it’s priced too good to be fair trade and ethically sourced, it probably isn’t.
I bought from them once, had a good haul for some birthday gifts and immediately deleted the app. The economy *will* collapse from temu
I came here to say this. It's sickening to think of how shitty the pay and working conditions must be for them to sell that vest for $8, not to mention how they must totally disregard the environment, as well.
Don’t like this sponsor :(
I agree. And for me part of the appeal of thrifting is to be able to avoid new items at retailers with ethical and/or environmental concerns, so the promotion on this video in particular was jarring to me.
It's always seemed to me like a low budget amazon( can you get lower than that ?) And we don't need another amazon.
I am normally such a cynical person but I ran a 10k without telling anyone, so there was no one in the crowd who knew me - at one point some people in the crowd were just cheering on strangers and calling out the names of runners they didn't know... it was so uplifting and it helped a lot! So I support cheering at strangers :)
Bahh I love hearing this from the runners perspective! It was such a wild moment of connection with strangers for me, so I love to hear that it was that for u. Maybe I’ll catch you at your next run ❤️and next time, tell your people and be proud!!
Thrifting is the best type of treasure hunt!! So glad you’re back, but glad you took some time off too. We all need to do that more! 💛
Can't help but notice the stark contrast between thrifting and fast fashion items from Temu..
My thoughts exactly, not judging, just confused.
Same. And very off brand for someone like Caroline, who I have come to know as someone who buys smartly, and carefully with much consideration.
“I don’t know any of you guys, but I wish you all the best!!” is a mentality we should 100% adopt for all time. Now. Immediately. Because what IS life except a very long marathon?
Oh she got deep. These are truths 🙌
Such a nice comment!
I'm never offended by Caroline, but she took a lovely idea and with the (paraphrasing here), "Even the shit ones. We know you suck and you're never going to make it, but even you deserve to believe in yourselves," and made it pretty toxic and so condescending. That's your narcissism talking; you can't be happy for the good ones because you are so competitive, so you low key bully the slow ones, in a backhanded way, to make yourself feel good. F#ck you, Caroline. :) Also, it's "boutique" with a u. Rube. You may as well be the person with that fake Ohio accent if you're going to call it a botique.
I can't thrift. I can't even drive . I have chronic IBS (with oily discharge) so leaving the house without proper protection can be problematic. I am an old lady (40+), and I wish there were a solution. I enjoy feeling fresh and confident. Do you have any suggestions? Many people are talking about this.
@@Caroline_Winkler 😊
I’ve missed you pretty girl! You bring joy to this 70 year old girl.
Lenora you're my hero, thank you for the sweetest words, I'm so glad to be back!
@Lenora Morris 🤗💝💐
Aww I missed you sweet and pretty young girl. I love your sense of humor 😊
You’re the only UA-camr whose absence I notice 😂 good to have you back, but also so glad you got a little break!!
doh 🥹 im so glad to be back!!
Yes.
I've got one tuber whose absence I notice within a week.
But _Carolines_ absence I (we all?) noticed within one day.
A saturday (or at least weekend) without her feels unnatural by now. 🤪
Don't know what that says about me..
😬😶
Caroline, you look beautiful & rested, but missed you terribly while you were gone. You remind me so much of my daughter, love you🤗
Temu makes me uneasy, but yes to thrifting!
Yes beeeyotch....she's back. You are unlike any other content creator that I follow. I just live for your openness and legendary sense of humour. X
ahhh this beeeyotch is back!!! missed this place v much 🥲
❤❤
That yellow top on you is giving all the beautiful spring vibes I need. WELCOME BACK, QUEEN.
Hi Caroline! I'm an older woman (67) retired, no $, no friends. Not compIaining, just stating facts. I do have and am blessed with three wonderful children and believe me, I do understand how very lucky I am. So, that being said... I absolutely love your attitude! Giving the world a big "FU" and telling it like it is. You perk me up, make me laugh and keep me going with every video. Thanks so much for the mental lift you give me. Blessed be.
Hey Nina, congratulations on retirement. Hope you have lots of financially efficient fun.
You won’t be the only person in your area who thinks they have no friends…hope you can find each other if you want to. Even if it’s a stitch and bitch club weekly or people to trade extra veggies with, rather than besties forever.
When I’m thrifting I have to keep repeating the mantra “just because I like it and it is a good deal does not mean that I have to buy it.” I am trying to be more intentional with my purchases because it is too easy to justify buying something that is inexpensive. I need to reduce the clutter and only buy things I absolutely love. I’m sorry that you got that parking ticket!
Love you, love your videos and want you to get sooo many sponsorships, but Temu is fast fashion/decor and it's a bit of a bummer to see. Just since it's Earth Day this came out and you're thrifting really cute/lasting finds and the Temu stuff just goes to sh*t so fast. But love you Caroline!
I love the idea of thrifting as a low cost/sustainable alternative, and I love your videos Caroline!
I don't know how to feel about Temu. It looks like it's another Shein, and IDK.
I know, I know, we live in a very capitalist society with very murky supply chains and don't know how much it makes sense to single out one particular thing, but yeahh.
I'm so glad you took a break but I sure did miss you. I'm a 62 year old grandma and watching your videos just makes me very happy. Much love from Southern California (you were in my neighborhood on your vacation! The South Bay is our very own paradise!)
The edits of the bag poses. Hell yeah Paige. Love her editing your videos, she’s got great timing. You 2 are a dream team. Great finds- very supportive of the lil wood bowl
Paige is an absolute dream, she’s so so talented ❤️❤️so glad u loved it!!
PS. That company Sunnycity is a cool lil company for vegan leather bags. Good find!
The thumb nail made me laugh right out loud. Fantastic. My husband did triathlons and all the things (3 day bike races, half marathons, 10 K’s ….) and his brother runs all the big marathons and I loved it. So much. That whole community are the people I want around me when the apocalypse happens. Seriously. They’d give you the shirt off their backs and would make you believe anything is possible. I miss it. Just being at one of those events restores all hope for humanity. That yellow lamp shade sparked instant joy in me. I didn’t know I needed such a thing, but apparently I really do. I had to go back and rewatch everything that came after that because I realized I had spaced out imagining all the places that lamp shade would look so good in my house 😂
It's so Caroline and anyone familiar with her videos gets it. Not offensive at all😂
Thrifting is my life. Retail is a task, thrifting is a treasure hunt!
No longer hiding my fanning.....Just recommended you to my granddaughter, 28, and since I am 87 I hope she will become a fan too. You are such a wise though questioning young lady. You help us all forgive ourselves for not knowing everything! Lots to learn at any age. Keep relating to us all.
First off, I love your content and your style. I just have to comment about the sponsor though. I'm getting frustrated with influencers/content creators/anyone supporting brands like Temu. While it may not technically be fast fashion/furniture as it doesn't produce the items, it is clearly promoting gross overconsumption and using fast fashion/furniture companies and exploiting workers. No company that offers THAT much for so little can be an ethical and sustainable company. We cant truly afford companies like this. With the little research I've done that much at least is clear.
So I'm a bit disappointed you're taking a sponsorship with them. I still love your content and will continue to support you and your videos. This kinda stuff just gets under my skin, especially on Earth day. (Please feel free to correct me if any of this is false.)
Hey friend I just want to say how much I appreciate this thoughtful and articulate comment, and more than anything how you were able to share constructive feedback in a really helpful way. I can tell you, it’s an incredibly rare skill and I become very aware of that when reading comments. So thank you for what you shared and how you shared it, you’ve definitely given me something to think about and I appreciate it ❤️
@Caroline Winkler thank you for your thoughtful response and consideration! I wasn't sure if you'd see it. I'm glad my comment didn't come across in a hateful/unhelpful way. Truly do value your content and you seem like a lovely person. Sending you love 💕
@@Caroline_Winklerso why is it still here if you become"aware" ffs ....
I have the tiny thing condition. I have a large collection of tiny trinkets collected since 18 mos old. Kept them in very large glass vases and recently moved them to a big basket.
I totally identify with cheering at races for people bringing up the rear. I tutor middle school students for mt job. Its basically the same thing. As a person who is very hard on themself, it ends up infultrating my self-talk, and all of a sudden I believe in myeself for a little while?!? Witchcraft!
In a very non-canceling, gentle way, i do want to bring up the irony of thrifting (good for the environment, often employs people who have disabilities or are involved in some sort of support system) and adverising for Temu at the same time. (Its not possible to sell items for this price and have good materials, quality, pay/conditions for workers).
I know that you will continue to do you, which I love about you! You model so many positive attributes while being totally real about your boundaries and beliefs. So thank you!
Caroline you’re amazing. You are such a breath of fresh air on the Tube. I’m 54 and am so inspired by you. You have so much to teach us older girls. Thank you for everything you put into your channel. I appreciate you ❤ from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺
Thank you for this. Truly my favorite comments are when I hear from different generations - sometimes older than me, and I know some people also watch with their kids. And nothing makes me happier than hearing how these videos just resonate with HUMANS. No other requirement. Thank you for the love ❤
You are bang on when you say that those bringing up the rear are the ones most deserving of cheering and admiration - those are the ones for whom it ain't such a breeze. And yet they're the ones who are often the most 'forgotten" by the cheering crowd at the finish line. As in : sometimes there just ain't many people left for cheering.
Finding a bunch of stuff you certainly don’t need at all is the beauty of the thrifting treasure hunt.
And also why I am not allowed to go thrifting super often….😂😂
Yup. "Thrifting" is my Dh and my weakness. Oh the irony that it is the one thing that can mess up our budget. We need a reward for avoiding garage sales and thrift shops. The reward just can't be a trip to the thrift shop! 😂
@@tonygroves5526 hahaha, exactly!!
I loooove your videos and your philosophy and your everything!!! I so wish my single 39 year old daughter would watch you. She needs your viewpoint
Having said that ….temu? Idk Caroline convince me lol I’ve heard other UA-camrs say they take your images from other things and use them without permission. Also like wish and Shein I hate to think about the labor involved and the conditions. I know I buy stuff here without knowing that could be the case but if I kno for sure I don’t think I can buy. Not hating or criticizing because honestly I really admire you (I’m 64) wishing I’d been that self aware at your age. Just asking your opinion on the temu thing
Stay well❤. Happy you’re back
I volunteered once at a marathon, working the finish line, cutting the computer chips off the runner's shoes. It was amazing. Some of them would lean on me while I stooped to cut the chip off. They were sweaty and bloody and euphoric. I never wanted it to end, it was so amazing. Honestly, I think it's a picture of our reception into Heaven! "You're here! You made it! You did so good!!"
You CAPTURED how I felt stoppimg by the Boston Marathon 37 or more years ago. I did not want to go watch runners run by...by the end of the day I had no voice from cheering on the river of humanity flowing by. THEN the people at the end: sobbing + cheering. Wow!
Not gonna lie, I was a lil bummed that you didn’t grab the giant flower painting in the first store. I would have strapped that sucker to the roof of my car! 😍
It’s always a good day when you post a new vid, Caroline. You are priceless. ❤
Yes I reckon that flower painting would really make someone's room
I really wanted it. 😆
Not to besmirch Caroline’s paint swatch artistic creation, but I immediately thought how wonderful that flower painting would look above her sofa! ❤
Dude. I want that painting.
I literally have cried when I saw everyone accomplishing their goals at a marathon. It’s such a crazy experience, I hope to run one someday.
not the temu ad... 🙈 I don't trust retailers who have prices so cheap for brand new garments. Someone along the supply chain must be getting exploited.
Green with envy, you have two great thrift stores! My sister and I share the thrift store obsession. I love small things. My favorite is my mom's little clown head jack-in-the-box, she collected clowns. After a lifetime of making smart choices, at 68 I am buried in my treasures. I estimate I am one calamity away from a hoard. Good decision passing on the glossy dresser. We used to have a lot of great stores in St Petersburg, FL but land got too expensive for the stores. If you are ever in my area stop by, I give away stuff to good homes! If you have a particular need I am sure I have at least one! 😀
I'm literally obsessed with your videos. If I'm feeling like crap... .GONE! Soon as I watch your video I'm instantly in an amazing mood, grinning, confidence boosted, and ready to take on the world. Thank you! Can't wait for the next one! 😁
Incredible to hear. I’m so glad friend. Hug to you!
I had to skip through the Temu like I do with every UA-camr these days, but the rest of the vlog was amazing, love your personality! All I can say is do your own in depth research on the company and watch for double charges on your card. Thrifting is everything ❤
It is very special the way you cultivate self acceptance/care/improvement without being falsely positive. I just turned 23, and in the last year, I have started learning to take responsibility for my own behaviors and feelings for the first time. Your videos are helpful reminders to meet myself where I am, not take myself too seriously, and embrace the humor in everything. So I guess I just wanted to say thank you! Wish you all the best !! :))
You are giving 80s Pam from Dallas elegance with your thrifted purse, yellow top and skirt combo!....missed your zany self depreciating sarcasm on you tube! More interior design and thrifting pls!
I wish we had thrift stores this huge in Germany…seems like no-one in the US would ever need to buy anything new 😅
They keep buying things new, that's why they have so many secondhand items.
@@leonore3349 Ah, probably true…and maybe having an easy way to donate like that would only super-charge consumerism in Germany, too.
@@ratioetscientia Yeah, but there's other factors at play too. Some cultures have a bias against buying secondhand, mine included. People rather throw things away.
I live in Finland and I keep saying that the country should ban the sale of new glassware until we have emptied all the thrift stores and flea markets 😄 Flea markets are a huge part of our culture thankfully, but I really wish people would go there instead of ikea when they need glasses or cups.
I live in Austria and I've never seen a thrift store of this size in my life 😮
I don't know what this says about me but my immediate thought regarding " rehab tolerance" was in regards to romantic prospects. Like yes, everyone is messed up but some people are just beyond what I can cope/work with right now & I'm sure that's applicable to me for some people!
* Yes that top is cute. Such a sunny yellow :-)
I love your association to romantic relationships. So, so true.
I subscribed because I needed help finding my own style moving from a tiny apartment to a big house and figuring how to make it feel like a home I enjoy...but as an older sister, you give me such middle/little sister vibes that listening to you helps me cope living so far from my own sisters 😂 so oddly, thank you
My Saturday can officially start now that Caroline has posted 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Hi Caroline,
So glad you enjoyed your break and that you’re back!
But I’m devastated you’ve promoted Temu 😢 You’ve broken my heart a little with this one.
I used to live in Minneapolis and their marathon went right by my house. I absolutely loved sitting on my front step cheering on the runners, especially the slower ones just like you. It was a wonderful day that restored my faith in simple kindness.
Just got back from thrifting to find this video. My Goodwill redid their layout and I was asking if there were put-back racks and the woman working thanked me for checking. I told her, ‘you gotta respect the thrifts gods, gotta give good to get good’. She had never heard this!? She started laughing and agreed. Gotta give good to the thrift gods to get good. I wish you all luck on your thrifting adventures.
Omg, I’m love your commentary on the half marathon. It really is the best vibe. If you think road running is positive, go sit at an aid station of a 100-miler, Caroline 😉. So much drama at races! I’m a runner and I would LOVE for you to do some runner content and see the very best of both of my UA-cam worlds collide. You’re awesome, I love your videos. ❤
As an Irish viewer I was sad to see the Irish coffee table book be sacrificed BUT also, them green hills and castles get very samey after a while. The furniture book and mattise definitely have more longevity 😂
The thumbnail and title legit made me so happy haha!
Update: I've gone to that exact thrift store for years! I always get so overwhelmed in there!
Same here, Kara! My greatest find there has been a 12-inch perfectly seasoned cast iron skillet for $9. Be still my beating heart.
I'm so astounded at the size of thrift stores in the US! It would be like a full time job to thrift over there (dream job btw) The fact you have shopping carts even. Signed an Aussie :)
I’ve been watching UA-cam since it was created and you are the first UA-camr whose next upload I have checked for ahead of time.
Ok, I just realized who would be a PERFECT match for you...Dr Mike!!!😅 The two of you are equally amazing, funny and smart, and you kind of look alike🥰
That sleeveless sweater is everything. 🤍
That yellow looks gorgeous! Great video!
I was born in Silver Spring!! Oh- and you absolutely crack me up. I love the balance of encouragement, energy and sarcasm.
I like Temu. Also since, I'm a crazy old lady here's something I do...take part of a pool noodle cut it to fit faucet, and it can reach a bottle container u can't fit . I have a fish tank and I wanted to refill a LG water bottle that I keep water for fish in, and I couldn't fit it under faucet noodle works like a charm. Love your 👚
I FREEEEEAKING LOVE this editing (that music!!!!) combined with Caroline's charisma and my fave hobby, thrifting ♥
It’s so fun to cheer and crew races! I love you picked up the energy of the crowd, and it REALLY helps the runners when someone acknowledges you are working so hard, and have been for months or years. Love it. 💛
Dying over the purse styling 😂😂👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 So good!
Unsure if they have them on the east coast, but I am the BIGGEST FAN of Habitat for Humanity ReStores.
A) great cause
B) the finds are amazing
It’s a lot of home improvement stuff like light fixtures, vanities and what have you, but they also have some great furniture pieces and you never know what you’re going to find.
One time, I got $3k worth of Italian porcelain tile for $50 😅
Yay!! I’m glad you are back and that you have yourself a break! ❤
Seriously so refreshing to see people just being themselves. Love love love watching your videos!
Caroline, love starting my Saturdays with you. You are Sunshine ☀️🕶️ My smile meter is off the charts watching you thrift! Glad your back❤️
You go Caroline! Love shopping with you!
So happy you're back! Missed you!!💗💗💗
I couldn’t go thrifting this weekend because I got sick, so I’m very thankful you’re taking me with you without me having to leave my bed 😂❤
Love it!!! So much CUTE stuff!!! Thank you for sharing! Def have to check those places out when I make my way to DC someday! Glad you’re back and refreshed. Excited for the secret project!
Use Restor-a-finish for a super easy rehab of wood furniture! It’s like magic!!!
I love thrifting and antiquing and I’m so excited to see a new generation getting into it ❤❤❤ there’s so much wonderful and good quality stuff out there that needs to be loved again!
Finally someone making sense of my version of retail therapy! Browsing antique stores, estate sales, yard sales, & thrift stores! Usually after my therapist appointments lol (reflection while observing interesting items)
Great to have you back! ❤
This was such a joy to watch, glad you had a good break! I think the first video of yours that I watched was the Antiquing and thrifting home decor video, so watching this was just a great throwback to when I first found you!
such a funny person! you’re the kind of people we wanna have around. love to watch your videos. sending you love from Brazil!
Temu, Caroline? Are you sure? 🫤
been in a v thrifty mood lately so this is definitely motivating me to go and act on it. was really satisfying watching you peruse and pick out little treasures and see your thought process on it all 😊
Stellar video! Honestly all of your videos are just top notch, you’re such a wonderful creator and I’m so glad to have found your channel! Stoked to see you’re back for the time being ☺️❤
Love the yellow vest!🌻 Also, appreciate your comments re: the design details of random pieces that caught your eye. e.g. the arms of the chair, the glossy finish on the dresser, etc.
You just made my rainy day here in Toronto! Your Value Village is WAY better than our local ones. Loved you sharing tips for discernment. Two other things I find I need for thrifting are mind space and energy. Also... I have to say, I LOVE your throwback music at the end!! Welcome back after a well deserved break 😊
So good to see you back here, I hope the break was fun and enjoyable. I love going thrifting, so thanks for taking us along!
Love this style of video so much!!!
Yess I’ve missed your videos being a part of my Saturday morning routine
Missed you Caroline - you had me chuckling within the first 2 minutes. So glad you are back!!
The editing is everything!!! I loved how Paige edited the styled items at the end! Love your content Caroline!
You are so awesome!!!! Thank you for just being so relatable and sharing your world with us!!!😁
This was posted 2 mins ago. Im in bed half dead and I'm in here like a rat up a drain. LOVE U CW. Thanks for taking me out of the house thrifting as this is what I would be doing if I wasn't being killed by life.
Oh man… I feel you.
Hang in there. No matter what, if you’re sheltering for your own well-being or heading out to get the basics… you’re doing great!
💜

By life, or an illness?
@@nicolegregory4429 I love that sheltering for your own well-being! I am newly single and an empty house after 13 years and I am having trouble making myself leave! I know what to call it now! Some guy on a dirt bike threw a bottle at my brand new truck about a month ago I had to get a new hood in a new fender and I'm still terrorized!
@@jlina
Oh my gosh!
I completely understand!!!
I had some guy trying to get in my back door while I was home. Hoodie, dark glasses, face mask, and gloves… it terrified me to my core and I couldn’t sleep for days.
There are some really good books I’ve read.
Grief Recovery (for loss of all types) and Becoming Bulletproof.
There’s just some tips that I found useful.
And it’s ok to stay in until you’re ready to deal with the world again. I’m available if you just need someone to talk to or help you work out some plans to step back on your path … but yes, shelter for your own well-being until you feel ready/able.
We’re all just doing our best with the situations we’re in until we find another way or path to travel.
Chat with you soon!

@@nicolegregory4429 Hi Nicole, that is actually terrifying! I'm in Texas I probably would have shot him. Wow. Or never slept again! There are so many unanswered for me with the breakup and í don't want to live alone. Would love someone to talk to! I'm 65, hard to find/make friends. Thank you so much!
LOVE the Unique/Value village in Silver Spring. I think 80% of my home decor has come from there 😂
There’s also a huge antique store at Savage Mill, but it’s a little pricey.
Missed you ❤ glad you're back and can't wait for more apartment updates if you've finished painting / rearranging 😊
You can't thrift with us!! 😂
What a fun video! Thank you for uploading!!
I've already commented but I wanna say 2 things...
You look BEAUTIFUL in yellow! Love it on you💛
When you were talking about the 'Rehab Tolerance'...it is ABSOLUTELY the thing I had to start thinking about when purchasing anything thrifted. I'd get excited about a certain piece but didn't think about the time,money or work I'd need to put into it (if any). 💜💜
Welcome back, Caroline! So happy to have you back on Saturday morning!
I love you so much! Thrifting requires patience, relinquishing control and Zen. Nailed it! Big love to you!!!
Glad to see you back! I would have had such a hard time leaving that second store without every single rug, even though I am in fact not that rich and don’t live in a house large enough to use them all, but my soul just needs them you know 😅
You crack me up with that $250 parking ticket my son is the same way he’s about your age he seems to get a lot of them and it doesn’t mean anything to him. It’s not that big of a deal.😂
On the other hand, I’m 68 years old. I have never ever gotten a parking ticket and I’ve never gotten a speeding ticket and I’ve never been in a car accident and I had a Mustang for about 15 years still no ticket.
So this really fascinates me around millennials they seem to think it’s common place to get parking tickets regardless that it cost $250 y’all act like oh well that’s life and it’s gonna happen so this is what I wanna know …
You really seem to plan ahead and make sure you have a budget for buying furniture, shopping spree’s, food, budget etc. I’m curious have you taken the time to estimate or guesstimate how many parking tickets you would anticipate to get in the upcoming year based on your previous years and do you know what that dollar amount is that you have to pay and parking tickets speeding tickets whatever and do you have a budget for that.?
Now I am being humorous, but really, I am curious, do you ?
You are so smart and insightful. I think that if you took what you’ve learned from thrift shop, what you’re willing to buy based on whether it’s going to take more time to repair some thing or not, and simply apply that knowledge when you’re looking for a parking spot….
For example, this time I’m going to look this time and check the signs check the surroundings, check to make sure I can park here or what are the risks and say things like well that’s not in my budget today to get a ticket etc.
You’re so smart and wise, in your conscious decisions, as to why you will, or won’t buy something- I really think it would be helpful for you to use the same principles when it comes to finding a parking spot. 🙏
I just read your update and came back to see what was up with the sponsor. Funny enough I had never even heard of Temu until a week or two ago and they have been advertising relentlessly as being brand new in Canada. I wondered if they were legitimate or not and from all the comments here I guess that I will be giving it a pass. Thanks for being so up front and transparent.
I also have this “tiny things” condition. Booknooks, legos, doll houses, dioramas… you name it, I love it!
My husband once came home with this teeny tiny three ring binder for me. I haven’t though of a use for it yet, but I love it.
I’ve got that TINY obsession too!!!! 🎉 🥄 🍴
I’m thrifting vicariously through you, so thank you! 😄 I’m currently living in a country with no second-hand shops. Missing it and looking forward to it when I get home!
Really? No second-hand shops? Where are you? I'm in the states 😊
This was so fun! Looove the wooden bowl
I’m a cross country coach and I was dying when you were talking about the people at the end of the marathon. That me with some of my runners. 🤣
I live in Spain and the #1 thing I miss about the U.S. are the amazing thrift stores!!! Always such a fun treasure hunt and such a great way to prevent waste and prolong the lifespan of clothes, decor, furniture, and more. Welcome back from your holiday, Caroline, and thanks for taking us along!
Do they not have thrift type shops in Europe? I hadn’t considered it, just curious. What happens to discarded/donated items?
@@sarahbreed6798 Depends on the country. In Germany for example I think thrift stores are common. In Spain there isn't much of a second hand culture. People buy a lot less here and tend to use their things for longer. For clothes, I think mostly they get donated to charity and there is one chain of clothing thrift shops called Humana. For furniture, many rental apartments come furnished so people buy/change their furniture a lot less frequently. There are antique and vintage stores but they are much more expensive than a thrift store. It's starting to change a little, especially with young people and in big cities, but thrifting is still kind of a new concept here.
I like the snap transitions!

I appreciate that you said, "Do I need it" and put it back. Very well done. I'm allergic to clutter, myself.
This was such a gift! I talked myself out of going to my favorite thrift store this morning, need to do some major declutter first. Now I’m happy 🤗
Love your finds!! And YES ON THE miniature things ❤❤❤
