  • I went to 3 thrift Stores In one Day and I found the best thrift store treasure I have scored all year! I found an art treasure that I want to share with you and the story behind it.
    Did you see anything that spoke to you today? A sign? Let me know in the comments!
    I talk about my connection with baseball, Desi's newfound fashion sense, and my blind date.
    The stores shown are Salvation Army Alpine - Salvation Army Plainfield and Goodwill at 4 Mile.
    Thank you so much for being here!
    xxoo Have a wonderful safe new week...
    Please know we love you, Susan & Desi

    PS: I made a few major editing mistakes with this video...I think this might be a first for me. I was working with my new Canon camera this week and faced a time crunch but all in all, it's an honest portrait of the week I lived. Feels just a tad bit good to feel ok with not being perfect...you have allowed me to breathe and I thank you so much. That is true love.

    Susan, I have watched your videos for awhile, but never commented. I am alone now after 55 years because my hubby passed away in March. Within a few weeks I had sold my house and moved to another state with our daughter. The last few months have seen major changes, especially leaving friends and neighbors. However, I am 76 and felt I needed to be closer to family. Even though we had a beautiful home, I shopped at thrift stores for years to help furnish it.
    I hope to get my own place soon. Sadly, where my daughter lives, there are really no good thrift stores to turn to. That is why I love going thrifting with you. You are a lovely lady and that is reflected in your home. I have a little plaque that I had hanging on my wall (it is packed away right now) which will be in my new home that says “ The Secret To Having It All, Is Believing You Do.” Take care.

How exciting!!! are there no good thrift stores or fairs anywhere near close??? I wish you all the luck and your quotes at the end of your comment will lie in my heart forever! How can I thank you?....“ The Secret To Having It All, Is Believing You Do.”.. xxoo Susan & Desi

I’m very happy I inherited them. Makes me think of mom & dad every time I see (and use) them. I wasn’t sure which decade they were from, so thanks for the info. Thanks to Little Poet … you bring us all together. 🥰

    Susan you and Desi are at top of my favorites list. You are so inspirational, kind and thoughtful and I will say sweet too. Don't know how anybody would have a problem with or Desi. Husband and I are early 70s and things are not as easy as they used to be. In 2016 we moved to a very small town to have less congestion, less stress....we dont know when we might need something with less footage, less yards to maintain but as we take 1 day at a time....I am grateful for the quiet peaceful days we have more since husband retired in 2016 before we moved. I have many faults, but my rescue doggie loves me anyway. Lol. My rescue is named Moose.
    Blessings to you and Desi, Susan as you bring a smile and happiness to those of us tuning in to see you.

    I'm 66 and have been "thrifting" since my 20's. It's in my blood (thank you, Mom!) Just yesterday my habit of buying something I don't need at the moment, but might someday, paid off (again). A few months ago at a local thrift store, I found a new still in the package $29.95 long curtain panel from Bed, Bath, And Beyond for $1.50 and added it to my "maybe someday" box. Yesterday I got a hankering for new bedroom curtains in my camper , thought of my thrift store find, and today with some snipping and sewing the one long panel will become 2 smaller panels, and I'll be a happy camper :)

I also like that you show up on Saturday night as sometimes there’s nothing going on for me much so this is always fun. I am going to read up on Joe Jackson. I loved all your purchases. Very special items that fit. Nice thrift store. I hope your blind date is a home run 👏🏻👏🏻.

    Remember Susan if Desi is barking at someone he knows something that you do not know. Dog sense , They know if someone is good or bad. So just watch out when you’re around this person. Desi probably it’s just trying to protect you from someone that is bad or possibly evil.

    • @ladybug5859
      @ladybug5859 Рік тому

      Chrissy YES and NO. I remember visitingfriend of the family in Spain and it was a huge family and I didn't really know them but my father had been in the military and their father was in the military and they got to know each other that way. Their little dog barked so much that I felt completely unwelcome and I guarantee you I am NOT evil and I was NOT up to NO good. I was a simple 20 year old taking a vacation between my third and fourth year of college and I thought I would look up this family.
      IT did NOT go well due to the dog's possessiveness of the family and you have to keep that in mind-- just like Susan said when she brings home a gent --her dog Desi gives them the side eye and it's not necessarily because the Gent is bad but dogs are very possessive, especially when they're loved as much as Desi is loved💚

    Good morning Susie!! I can't imagine anyone criticizing our little calendar star Desi. He is adorable, with a ton of personality. If I knew you use to sell on Ebay, I totally forgot about it. You found some great items. In the past I think I shared with you that I can't go in thrift stores. It makes me sad to see beautifully photos of someones loved ones, quilts, and other "family" items being sold. Now if I could find a thrift store that only had cast offs with no family ties, that would be great. I'm thinking your blind date might be today, you will definitely have baseball in common. Shoeless Joe is truly an inspiration. Blessings, and love..MaryEllen

We are pure energy and the energy we emanate is exactly the energy we get back. You were just talking about something similar last video - where you started to believe your life was better and so it became better. The ex ball player calling you when you found that print? That's the secret working - there are no coincidences, they are usually nudges coming from the powers that be to get you to act, do, or expect. Keep emanating your lovely light, my friend! 💕

Kevin Costner was in attendance, as well...so you are "manifesting"! Hope you keep up your 'winning streak' and you have a lovely blind date..."If you build it, he will come"!

      I live in Iowa and this story was in the news all week. Kevin Costner was in Dyersville all week. He was awestruck seeing the Field of Dreams baseball field again after so many years. People came from all over the US to see the New York Yankees play against the Chicago White Sox. And Kevin Costner played his part again with walking into the corn field during the game. It was truly a memorable game for all the fans.

    It may be a little known fact but the "Field of Dreams" story was written by the Canadian author K.P. Kinsell and the original book is called Shoeless Joe. I love the concept of this story and the movie is beyond magical. I love the irony that a Canadian author captures the essence of baseball and the American Dream. Another fantastic video Susan, have fun on your date and Congratulations Desi aka Calendar boy!

    You have really good thrift stores there. What great treasures you found. I'm jealous! I can't wait to hear about your date. And what inspires me to keep going is the memory of my sweet mama my best friend (now in Heaven). She raised three generations of children, cooked and cleaned and worked outside the home. Never took a sick day (I don't ever remember her being sick) and back then she would ask what we wanted for dinner and if we said biscuits and gravy she didn't have Pillsbury pop n fresh in a can, she made from scratch and whipped up a batch in what seemed like no time. Homemade dinners and desserts, the house was always clean, the laundry done and never asked for help. She was a skinned knee doctor, a spider squisher and tear dryer. She was amazing and keeps inspiring me every day. I could never live up to how amazing she was and I miss her every day. 👼

    I was never really an Elvis fan, but a couple of years ago I visited his birthplace in Tupelo. I had forgotten that Elvis passed when he was only 42. We saw many exhibits and I remembered how generous Elvis was and what humble beginnings he had. Years ago we also saw the field in Iowa where some of Field of Dreams was filmed. The farmer decided to keep the baseball field for tourists. I wonder if he has planted it back to corn by now. 🌽🌽🌽. Thanks for stirring up some memories. ☺️

      No they have not. Just the other night was the field of dreams ballgame between Yankees and white Sox. It was great and Kevin Costner was there too with his son and was in booth to talk some. Loved how they put some movie clips in also and many balls were hit into the corn fields. I heard that they plan to play there each year. What a thrill for locals and travelers and us watching on tv.
      Also I love Elvis and was so happy to see him perform in 1976. While I was in high school. Always watched his movies and have most albums. Enjoy.
