WOW I had some shiny brites once but sold them. I regret doing that. That really is the find of a lifetime. The way you reacted to the striped ones tells me that you MUST keep one of each type of striped sets for your own tree. Put a tree in your bedroom and decorate with those every year. They bring you joy and they can also signify your first Christmas together in your home as a married couple.

Karen, I just love your warm and fun-loving personality blended with your top-notch business sense. Who care if you can't please all the people all the time? I loved your last video with the visit to the Cocalico Corners shop (sorry if I misspelled that). It's a beautiful store and I enjoyed seeing the texture, colors of the items along with your reactions. You have such an artistic eye. Go back anytime and share it with your loyal friends. Have a happy Thanksgiving - we're thankful for you!😘

Karen my eyes are just watering like crazy, watching you and Roger going thru the Shiny Brite ornaments. Remembering my childhood at Christmas having these same ornaments with Mom and Dad. They have passed now even the decorations, and Remembering the cardboard fireplace. Really enjoyed the longer video

My mother is 98, and still has “all her marbles”. I just bought her a new Alfred Dunner top! Cheers to that brand for keeping the over 80 ladies looking sharp and pretty!

You only paid $4.35 a box for all 23 ornament boxes! I think you made the deal of the decade. I'm so happy for you! They are gorgeous!

OMG! I would have died and gone to heaven if I got those ornaments. I wouldn’t have hesitated a minute on those. My envy is real! 🎄❤️🎄

Don’t we love cozy, yes we do 😂 thank you Karen and family, have a great Sunday…XO❤️

Yes Karen, you do shop for yourself…we know, love ya❤️

Lots of people like Zara, but that blouse with the bow sleeves. What a nightmare that would be dragging those bows through the Christmas gravy on your plate. lol Love love love cozy. I don't buy for resale but do pop into thrift stores now and again and I think I would go blind trying to wade through the black tops. Now that is a chore for sure. I like a little variety in your videos now and again. Whatever nonsense you get up to is fine with me. I think the guy who sold you the box of vintage ornaments on the last day of the flea market probably thought, "oh what the heck - they are seasonal items and I might just clear them out". Good score!

Love your videos. Yes keep some ornaments for you and Roger as a memory of your first year of married life. You deserve it. Glad you bought them all. Such a great find!

I have 4 boxes of Shiny Brite ornaments-- they were from my family. Please keep a couple of boxes for yourself! You won't be sorry. They're beautiful!❤

Amazing finds !! And the shiny bright ornaments- absolutely beautiful!! Thanks for taking us along for the shopping trip.

Karen there was a video on KZread just yesterday from handmade home and there were three people that decorated their house in vintage Christmas decor. Almost all of the Christmas balls were from Shiny Brite and the treasured them. I grew up with Shiny Brite on our Christmas tree every year the same Christmas ornaments that were accidentally ruined one year when my parents use some spray snow on the tree and it wouldn't come off the ornaments. Still we use them for a while longer and they bring back such memories in the photos and just watching you unpack them! I can see why they're so valuable!

That really was the find of the day, month, year, century! Beautiful ornaments

You two are the sweetest couple. Roger is so quiet and you make up for it, girl! He looks happy with you. Take care of each other.

Karen, I feel embarrassed for the rude person who criticized you for shopping regular retail. I love that kind of shopping trip bcs upscale home decor stores have inspiring ideas plus insight into what to look for in thrift stores. Your beautiful clothing hauls make me sad bcs my area has very poor clothing choices. We have no malls or high-end stores/brands, so our Goodwills rarely have top brands. They mostly have wornout Walmart stuff. I live on a remote island where people hold on to things for a long time. By the time they donate to Goodwill, the items are tired and worn😢 I greatly envy resellers like you who have access to so much great stuff!

Love, love, love your find!! You should most definitely keep some for yourself so you can always be reminded of how you felt when you found these!! 💕💕

I love all handmade pottery

I want to go where you go...Amish baked goods, crafts, whatever you enjoy in PA

Keep some of the ornaments for your “first tree”!! What a lovely find!!

Karen, This is a wonderful video. The first part with all the clothing was great. And then we got to the flea market. Oh my, the ornaments are to die for. What an absolute steal on them. They appear to be in pristine condition, too. Congrats on your amazing find! 💝

Hi Karen always lovely to see you pop up lv Ann uk ❤️❤️❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Love your chatting ☺️ beautiful ornaments! I’m not a thrifter but I really enjoy hearing what you look for!

I have my childhood shinie Bright ornaments…

Wasn’t that super sweet of Roger to think of you when he’s out working, and not even in his regular section!! You lucky woman, right!? 😉 (I even been wearing a jacket I bought from you, getting compliments! 👍) Oh, you just bought something for Roger’s store! So, he’s lucky to have you too!😂👍

Yay!

I hope you get double credit when I watch on ipad and LG, too, look forward to you celebrating 100k viewers!! Thx for the wise education in every vid.

I liked the Calico creek video!

Ornaments are unbelievable. What a great find. The excitement of having a pile of them is so fun.

LOVE THESE LONG VIDEOS! Karen is a pleasure to watch and learn from ❤

Wow on the shiny brites

Shiny brutes are so beautiful. Reminds me of my childhood. Only a few remain. My sister broke one every year she was so excited. Thanks for the wonderful memories!

Hi Karen. Oh i love Shiny Brites. I have 2 boxes that were my Mom's neighbor and she gave them to me. I love your find. How amazing. They are great. I also love the Santa. vase. I truly enjoy your videos. Take Care. God Bless You , Roger , and Your Family.

People love to be reminded of their childhood...and those ornaments do it. Great find.

I just started my own youtube channel, and I gotta say - you are absolutely right! It is EVERYTHING to have the support and help of your family and friends. Even before I started the channel, my husband and kids have always helped me out and supported me. The reselling gig ain't for the faint of heart!

I got so excited for you when you found the Shiny Brite boxes.😊 What a great find! 🎉 Congratulations

“ I don’t want to buy a bag of hair” hahahaha. I agree with you. I love all your videos regardless of the content. 😀 Keep up the great work.

I love finding antique Christmas ornaments. My friend told me to buy this box of ornaments from this garage sale years ago. The guy was a dealer but he got them out of the attic of his house. Some were Victorian and very nice ones. Best find of ornaments ever. I didn't even know much about them but took her advice. Thanks for sharing, love your videos

I love those ornaments we had those ornaments when I was young , somewhere around 1975 -1979 , I believe. I absolutely love how you tell us about the names of clothing and , where they come from. You are so lucky as Roger seems to be such a happy person , he makes you happy when he smiles, you can't help but to smile. I've been watching you for quite some time and was happy for you both when you got married

Jackpot Shiny Brite!! What a great find!!!

Most of those Shiny Brites are from the 1950s. A few might be from the ‘40s (post WWII), but I’d need a closer look to say for sure. Congrats on this awesome find!

Great show!

I have tons of those ornaments in those boxes from my family some never opened and they r beautiful and becoming so collectable

Amazing!!! Congratulations

Thank you for looking for Made In The USA! My family owns a clothing manufacturing business. We always promote Made In The USA apparel. You are right, the quality is so much better, and it supports families like mine. Ohhhhhhhhhhhh, the Shiny Brite ornaments are absolutely fabulous. Amazing find.

You hit the jackpot with those ornaments. The condition is second to none. You will do well with those.

WOW! ALL I CAN SAY IS WOW!!! What a great find.

Congrats on your fab deal, Shiny Brites.

The ornaments ROCKED!! Great find guys!!

Unbelievable find with those ornaments!! So beautiful! What a fantastic deal 🎉

Those ornaments are beautiful. ❤️

You showed, then put back a Quaker Factory chambray/denim button up top with some bling? I think it was Quaker Factory anyhow.Curious why you didnt pick it up? I do very well with that brand,especially in bigger or Plus sizes.Lucky Brand does well,too especially in big/plus sizes.Wish my Goodwill was as big as yours!!

The shiny Brite man was an angel

Karen, you not only amaze us with all you get done, but also how organized and neat you are at doing it!!!

I love love love your long videos! Thanks for sharing your knowledge on thrifting and selling! Also…. Thank you for not spending a whole video on the bad comments you receive. When a channel starts doing that it takes all the fun out of that channel.

Lol I myself love alfred dunner tops. Made sew well. High quality ❤

@lavenderclothesline you are truly an inspiration to so many people. Thank you for sharing your hustle with us.

Great score on the shiny bright,WOW!❤😊

Those ornaments!!

You are pushing yourself so hard. You remind me of me. But a few months ago, I reached the point of waking up in the morning to the thought that I CANNOT do this any more. My body and my mind and my soul had reached their limit. I wanted someone to take care of me, to be there for me, to rescue me, because I was done. Be aware of what your mind, heart, and soul are telling you. I love you. You are so beautiful inside and out.

Hi Karen! Greetings again from RI. So sweet that you thank those who are supportive of your business..we love you 💗 Happy Thanksgiving 🦃

Go for it Karen, you are photogenic ta boot!

Those Shiny Brites! 🌲❤️

Wow! All those Shiny Brite ornaments are a great find. I have all the family ornaments from my childhood, many Shiny Brite, like new which I didn't realize until recently are so desirable.

Karen, pay no mind when people complain, even when I do it.😊 I admire your knowledge of clothing labels, I try to remember when I shop thrift for myself. Also as a retired woman, comfy clothes are my passion. The thought of having to get "dressed" up🤦🏽‍♀️. Much love❤

I enjoy your clothing videos. I learn so much. Thank you

You should definitely keep some of the ornaments for yourself! Fantastic find!❤

I use to look forward to my Sunday afternoon nap. Now I can't wait to watch you. Please keep a couple boxes of those shiny brights.

Santa came early. Those Shiny Brites are a find for sure. Looking forward to seeing how much you get for them. Maybe auction????

What a score! I swear you find the best stuff. Good job ♡

You just love my dream of finding those shiny brights I'm so happy for you❤❤❤

I have many of these that are from my childhood - we saved them from my Mom’s attic. I make a special tree of just those ornaments. 1960s.

You'll need a larger tree!

I love shopping along with you and hearing your comments, Makes me laugh , hahaha!

Thank you, you guys are the best hands down!❤

Wow...definitely keep some of your favorites for yourself.

Oh I would have loved the aztec sweater even with the piling , its was beautiful and I loved the black and gray design

Wowzaaaaa!!!! Those ornaments, we do not get shiny brights that I have ever found in canada, who ever owned those took excellent care of them, they look new in the box most of them and Karen YOU DESERVE to keep the striped ones that bring you such joy, it can be a EPIC memory find you and your hubby had what a great memory that would be, you deserve a tree filled with the striped oornaments that make you smile and warm your heart ( you worked hard all year you deserve to enjoy those as long as you need once you enjoyed them for as long as you need then you can sell them or sell the ones that do not light you up and bring joy to your heart...) Hope you get to keep some for you two,not everday you find a box full ove beautiful vintage christmas ornaments that bring joy.

I want more more more more more more more more. Please make them longer and show us everything that you bought and how much you brought into your inventory price wise

The ornaments boxes look 70’s. Probably from an estate with a very large tree! Ha

Thank you, as always, Karen, for another great video! I will never understand people who complain about FREE content that a creator works hard to bring to us. I am incredibly grateful to you & my other favorite creators for your time & efforts. Thank you! P.S. as everyone else has mentioned- the shiny brights are wonderful! I also love the pottery bowl!

I’m new to resales. W am so enjoying shopping with you. You and your husband have great sense of humor. Learning a lot from you! Thanks.😉🦋

Love your channel wishing you a wonderful thanksgiving.

Karen, absolutely love your youtube channel. Block the negative. 😃

Love it ❤

stunning Shiny Brights. If I remember, I think they used to be sold in 5&10 cent stores, like Woolworth's.

Keep yourself some of those Shiny Bright’s! You’ll make lots of money when you sell some of them. Lots of great shapers and patterns!

I totally understand why some mornings you feel like stopping. I sold resale vintage on Etsy when they were in their infancy. I sold for five years. Weekly auctions (in person) were my main source of inventory. The shipping was brutal. Listing with the photos was taxing for me on some days. Thank goodness for our husbands who helped. I got to the place where I depended on my husband to go to the post office, because everything had to be weighed in those days AT the p.o. ugh Some of the employees would be rude and toss my well prepared packages across the room into bins. No matter if I wrote FRAGILE, it was still tossed. So, I dreaded that part. My husband took over taking everything to the p.o.Thank you to my Sweetie! I give you so much credit for all you do and as you said, it's so much better when you have a helper like Roger.❤

Roots flea market is in quite a few of my videos 💜

It's so weird when they won't sell something to you. When I find something with no tag at Goodwill here in Arizona, they price it right there for me and put a tag on it.

Those ornaments! Unbelievable find and price!

Those Shiny Bright ornaments really take me back to my childhood.

Wonderful finds with the Christmas ornaments. Some of your followers want you to keep some... for your personal collection. I say: "Sell them all." In the reselling business, one should never become attached to an item. Use the proceeds to buy more inventory.

Loved today’s content!

Agree… the ornaments are beautiful. BTW…don’t pay attention to the person who didn’t like the store you brought us to….I loved it. Always nice to change things up now and then.

so much fun Love you and Roger together!

I had those shiny bright ornaments growing up in the 60's .. I think tehy w ere hand me downs from my mother's mother who died very young after having 13 kids
