Karen, I will watch 45 min, 1 hour or more of your video's. I am disabled and I rarely get out so it's nice going shopping with you twice a week! I enjoy the hauls also. Not all KZread creators are the same and you have a warm, welcoming, calming style that I appreciate! And so does Mellisa whom I watch daily! Thank you!

As a reseller - I don't want vendors at flea markets knowing that the item I bought from them for $3.00 will sell for $39.99 plus shipping. I have been "caught" before . I cannot afford to burn bridges. @@brendabunnell6759

Lol😂, I was yelling "pick up the cat mug". Glad you heard me. For $2.99 a cat lover will love this.

Hi Karen, I used to work at and then managed a dinnerware store in NYC that imported pottery from Deruta, Italy. A lot of people think Deruta is the name of the pattern, but it's the name of the town where they are made. None of the designs are copyrighted or exclusive to anyone - they are traditional motifs that have been in production since the Middle Ages. The owner of my store sold the same pattern of the ones you bought and worked with the Grazia Factory as well. Ubaldo Grazia is the owner - if you Google his name, you'll find his website. That being said, W-S *may have* requested some little curlicue or flourish to add to it or use certain colors to make it different, but in reality, there are lots of little family-run pottery manufacturers in Deruta that use the same traditional Deruta patterns and designs associated with the region. The differences are usually in the execution (quality of the hand-painting) and variations in color. We sold pieces from about four or five different Deruta pottery factories, and a customer could mix and match them very easily. You would probably really enjoy a trip to Deruta to see all the pottery makers. There aren't as many factories there as there used to be, but I know the owner of my store enjoyed her trips there.

Karen, I can tell you take your time and clean, steam, press and whatever you need to do to get your items in the best possibly condition to sell. I think the time doing this is invaluable and can even help you get more for your items. Thank You for showing us how to do quality work. Love your channel!

I agree! I see other resellers take their items straight from the thrift store & put away in boxes, etc, without cleaning them or putting them in individual plastic bags. I realize there is more cost involved in the cleaning & storing of items in plastic, but as a buyer, I appreciate the extra effort & will pay more because of it. I don’t want to buy a blouse, for example, that’s been stored in someone’s dirty garage. 😊

I said it for you I know you're not a conceited woman but you do Kick-Ass for 63 years old actually for any age❤ you're an inspiration for other women your age and for young people who may be interested in reselling. I'm amazed at how many people don't get excited over a good used vintage item

Happy Sunday Morning Karen & Roger! I'm sure I was born in the wrong century! I am so drawn to the amazing large brass candlesticks & other antiquities from long ago. I am in awe of all the historic buildings, churches & antiques. It is an 'honour' to watch your channel & be able to view amazing items. Like you Karen, I am attracted to wooden crafted items. I still use a large bowl with 8 smaller salad bowls received when I first married in 1973 ~ 51 yrs ago & they are in excellent condition. Enjoying my coffee this morning in a winter wonderland! Apparently it's spring in Pennsylvania! Keep the 'Treasures' coming! 💖🎶 Patty ☕💕 Calgary Alberta 🇨🇦

I'm a thirty minute viewer myself. If I see something is an hour, I know I don't have time because besides being busy, there are so many folks I watch. I do love your videos. And I'm glad you got the cat mug.

Good morning Karen and Roger! I always look for your video Sunday mornings at 8am here in Anchorage, Alaska. That's how I like to start my Sundays.🙂🤗💕✌

Of course you both have gorgeous taste that's why you found each other. Love all of the items Karen!!

I love your long videos! I'd watch an hour and a half!

Karen you ask about a larger serving tray. I use mine at the bottom of my bed Katty corner, with a beautiful throw, a book, and a beautiful cup and saucer. Absolutely beautiful on a pretty made up bed. Love seeing you and roger.

Karen, if you have ever heard of CA Glue, it is a 2 part glue that works really well. They have just come out with a glue remover. I bought it as my fingers begged me to. Having said this I have found it will remove all permanent marker. I had several Military Ornaments but someone had personalized it. This CA glue remover took that permanent marker off. I tried it on the soles of shoes and I took it off of that as well.

Roger looks good in that shirt.

Roger is so chill.

The altar candle holders are breathtaking!! So unusual. And the brass candle sconces are elegant. ❤Thanks for a wonderful video+

Karen I love the wooden bowls and as a person that cooks a LOT I would never put pasta in a red sauce/gravy especially. Maybe a white but I would use those bowls for salad only!!! I love that set. I never want to offend anything you say but you must know something outstanding and phenomenal about that dress that is too small for Betsy. It reminds me of a bridesmaid dress I wore in the early 70's along with a floppy hat. All the women had a different color and we looked like a rainbow or a blossoming garden. Looking back on those photos makes me cringe. Can you tell I don't appreciate it ?? I sure hope however you make what you think it's worth, I am sure you are correct. Lovely time today with you and Roger. Have a great Palm Sunday and hope to see you before Easter. God bless you.

I love watching you guys thrifting. You’re a perfect match! Roger has the most endearing nature and smile! Happy Sunday!!

Karen - your knowledge of products and brands amazes me. Your KZread personality is delightful. 😊 I'm so glad I found your channel, I guess, about a year or two ago. I've enjoyed watching each post.

The Staub cast iron dutch oven is fabulous! What a great find. They are individually made/cast in France. (when you have time look up the history and how they are made) I use mine all the time. Perhaps you should try it out before you list it.

Yay! The needle point bag is so cute! I'm glad you picked that one up!

I'm a subscriber that watches all of it. I enjoy the thrifts, hauls, etc. You can learn a lot by watching you. 😊

Gorgeous blouse! ❤

Karen, love to see you and Roger together. You both have an eye for quality!

I found the same bird picture at Goodwill! I kept it for myself as it was so cute! Loved Rogers baseball bobbleheads....very funny! You both find the best stuff!

Happy you picked up the vintage needlepoint bag. I can see a boho young person snapping that up, & the cat mug is so cute.

I love the plate you left behind the couple figurines and I would have both items Love the beautiful dinner plates Love you and ROGER LARADO IS A GOOD BUY

Thank you Karen and Roger, love to shop with you two, I’m 72 and your videos are like “ comfort food “ always sweet💕

Wow! You really outdid yourself on this Haul!! Gorgeous stuff! Good job to both you and Roger!

Your the best thing to watch on Sunday early evening, watched an old video, your daughter Lisa has great hair, cute also.Its nice to enjoy your job.😊

Excellent video, Karen!❤

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻cat mug!!!! Im not even a “cat” person but I love a mug with a topper and thought that one was really cute.😄 do we love a cat mug with a topper? Yes we do.🤣

50 % of the hard goods in Goodwill SHOULD be marked 99 cents . Some of it should go right into the garbage. I can only imagine what some of the managers take home with them at night.

Woo hoo. Checked 10 minutes ago and nothing...now here you are....

The outfits you are wearing today is wonderful on you. The blue is definitely your color 😊. Love watching you and Roger shop I am not able to get out and I look forward to going with you shopping. Thank God for both of you. Shirley Myers Myers

The candlesticks are lovely.

That cat mug is everything my anxiety went crazy when you walked away nrly turned you off 😂😂phew you got it 😊

The wooden bowl set came from a company near auburn ny. They are vintage and unfortunately the company is no longer in business. I have a set with flowers on it and Their work was great quality. I love your videos and enjoy them all no matter how long they are. Have a blessed Easter!

Shopping AND a haul? Best of both worlds...thanks Karen! 💟

I went to Goodwill today, Sunday, came home empty handed. They're raising the prices and during the week, they remove a lot of the inventory that will be changing to 75% off on Sunday.

Love your videos of you & Roger's adventures in thrifting. I always watch your entire video, but sometimes I watch throughout the course of a day...life sometimes gets in the way. I very much look forward to your videos. Your voice is very soothing, & your videos are always, without exception, quite interesting. Btw, you & Roger are such a wonderfully sweet & compatible couple...great find when you found/discovered Roger at Goodwill. Now looking forward to your next video. ❤

Yeah, you're right. I usually balk at videos over 45mins. Luckily, most of the channels I follow don't usually go beyond 45mins. I really love the Italian platters, and the brass candlesticks and candle sconces are amazing too. Exciting finds.

Watch out Roger!!! You know how easily Karen gets excited!!! She may break your bobble head find!!! U guys are so much fun!!! 💞💞🙃💞💞

Stunning dress on the right person. Very special find. I have a set of horse bookends about half the size of the ones you have. I found them thrifting years ago. They’re one of my favorite finds. Yes! Yes! Keep the candle sconces for your home ♥️

The double ruffled Victor Costa dress reminds me of a southern belle ball gown or Gone With The Wind. Lovely! That Staub cobalt blue pot is wonderful. Beautiful onyx box and bookends. Loved everything in this video, Karen! Hugs!

All your videos are perfect ❤Kathlene 😊

Thank you for your videos, Karen. Life has been bit challenging lately; your content provides a pleasant respite. Appreciate you.

The pink dress would be beautiful for a movie star at the opening of her movie. Love it!

"Everyone go home!" I confess I've had that same thought before!

Great picks. Loved that unusual "flat" hand held clutch. I use trays sometimes on a coffee table or other table to place items as decor, such as a candle, a book, etc.

Karen that is so funny Roger goes outside to find a carriage and you turn around to find one waiting for you! LOL Boy the items Roger found are amazing. He should do a video on how he is shipping those items when they sell. He sure did love those tiny wooden dolls he found!! Great video--Betsy looks great in the dress!!! LOL

Love the two platters made for William Sonoma! Glad you got the 😻 mug! The gown is gorgeous ‼️

Love the haul videos because of the educational information you provide on the items you purchased, which are worth flipping for a good profit. Your thrifting videos reflect the same type of items found in most thrift stores that are not worth purchasing. I miss your pack and ship videos, too. They were helpful and entertaining.

What lovely items!❤ You and Roger both did outstanding!

OMGOODNESS Those sconces are everything!!!! Absolutely gorgeous ❤

Those sconces are gorgeous!!!!!

As usual an outstanding video. I so look forward to your content/videos. Keep them coming.

Love that top and earrings on you Karen! Looking lovely!😊Thank you for another fun video✨

Another great video! I LOVE that you list and try to sell ALL that we see you sourcing. I think it speaks to the quality of items you purchase. So many just pick up things for the sake of picking up, knowing they'll just re-donate or give away (nothing wrong with that!) what is not worth listing. It also makes me more conscientious when I'm out thrifting. Bravo!!

Wow, love the items Roger found...candlesticks and the candle sconces...so beautiful!! They will sale fast

Hello from North Carolina, thank you for your work on making your videos I really appreciate them. You said that you haven’t found a Glassy Baby yet I found one about two years ago or more in a thrift store for .99cent as I was walking down the isle I spotted it picked it up and you can really feel the quality in them. I also have a booth. Would love to try and go up to your state someday and thrift you have some great items up there. Thanks again!

Oh wow! The sconces & candle holders had to have come from the same church. There's no telling what else they gave to Goodwill. So happy for both of you

Thank you Karen❤👍 You have such a soothing voice, that's so refreshing. Those platters, made in Italy are such great finds The trinket box with feet is amazing. You and Roger know your stuff and you have the eye in finding the wild and wonderful👏

I can’t stop staring at the dress!

I have only recently found your channel and have been binge watching you. I love your love story with Roger - definitely a good find!

Karen, those woodcraftery bowls are not salad bowls. I have the salad bowls for sale in my store and they are much smaller. Great finds in this video. Triple love those wall sconces!

Love your Shirt! It looks like Johnny Was. Loving the haul part of the video.

Beautiful ruffles on vintage dress 👗

Great finds, as usual. I love the long videos ❤. I honestly don’t know how you keep up!

The shell that has been cut is how they sell them at the stores. I have one that I bought about 45 years ago in Florida. I can’t believe that you found another bent wood plant hanger. Beautiful.

Sweet haul! Soooo many heavy items! But fantastic finds.

You can tell that Roger is an ex athlete

I adore everything you post!!!!!!!!!

Really cool that you both have a booth. Looking forward to a tour of it one day!! Thanks for another great Sunday video!

I want the Christmas Cat Mug! Oh yeah! You saved it!

Yes Roger has good taste, he chose you. ❤️

My vote says YES to the Christmas cat!
