    Love the thrift with me videos! My best thrift was at a church garage sale, where a very tired looking Dad was selling an original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Party Wagon - complete with all the action figures - for EIGHT DOLLARS. I screamed internally, paid the gentlemen, and then ran to my car cackling like a witch. His adult offspring are probably so mad at him now lol he had no idea what he was selling!

      I love to hear these!!!! Nothing better than a true secret treasure score. It wasn’t a thrift store, but I found a midcentury coffee table (with furniture stamp) in the dumpster of my first apartment. At the time I didn’t know what it was, but I’ve had it ever since and so glad. Maybe I’ll refinish it for an episode sometime.

    I need the pink flamingo placemats 🥺 I found this printed heavier material for curtains and I didn’t want to pay $11 for it. The cashier told me to come back on Wednesday and if it has a blue tag on it I would get it cheaper. I went back on Wednesday and the material was still there and had the blue tag on it. With the blue tag and the extra money they took off for my senior discount I paid $1 for a 21 foot piece of material 😂 This was the deal of the year for me 💯🌟💜🌟💯

    I find it amazing that you see shirts or other kinds of clothing and imagine it as a pillow or whatever 😳 beyond me! I don't have eyes like that. My favorite thrift store find was a handmade vase which looked like a swan but I dropped it on the way home so maybe I am idealizing it 😅

    I've literally thought of this idea all along but too chicken to sew anything. However, I'm going for it. I I also have this hideous ottoman my kids won't let me get rid of that is dying for a cover. My fave thrift find was an authentic Stickley lamp I purchased for $10 at a church yard sale from a kid. I didn't know what a treasure it was til later.

    • @LaughCryDIY
      @LaughCryDIY  2 роки тому +2

    One of my favorite finds at the thrift store was during the pandemic, my daughter wanted to have a tea party at the park so we went and got all different tea cups and trinkets and the picnic blanket, went to the park and she had a badass birthday picnic with her friends. Super cheap, super cute!!

    I just need the pillow cases. My eyes lit up when you showed the dark purple scarf, so I am definitely looking for one of those.
    Best thrift find: coffee mug that was marked on the bottom and looked quite high quality. It was 50% off that day so got it for $2. Looked up the marking when I got home, and it was a company owned by a couple in NM who handcraft ceramics, and while my particular design wasn't on there, the mugs on there were priced at $90-$120.

I am slowly losing my mind and I look forward to your videos because they are such a breath of fresh air.

    A few years back, I was shopping in our local hospital auxiliary thrift shop for Christmas gifts (yep, that’s me). They have one round rack that is right by the registers, just in the window at the front of the store. It only ever features “high end” clothing from designers and boutique “beugie” clothes. Not only did I find a petite green blazer exactly my MIL’s size and taste, it was certified as never worn and still had the original price tag on it: $220 bucks, retail. I got it for $10. My MIL adores it and will never know where it came from. 😉
