Any addrees?

More thrift stores videos, please! Love when you explain the items and how you can use them in your home.

I love using crystal decanters to hold mouthwash in the bathroom. So pretty.

I was thinking of putting something like that in that skinny decanter. Mouthwash is a good idea, especially cos it comes in colours haha

I think that vintage suitcases have their charm just thinking about the trips lived by their previous owners. Thanks for taking us shopping with you.

They would be great decor to fill up some space in a bedroom. Stack them and put something on the top

Eighty-five percent of my Home Decor is thrifted. It’s always a thrilling adventure to find a beautiful piece!

The bookends are a stellar pick! Could you show us how you style your various pieces in your home?

I love spending the day with my husband thrifting! It feels like treasure hunting!! I definitely feel more joy from my finds, than I do from store bought, mass produced products.

I appreciate seeing thrifted items through your eyes, especially the furniture. Too often I look at a massive piece and think, How ugly! But you see potential. I’m slowly starting to learn how to do that through these kinds of videos. So thank you!

Cannot tell you how much I wish I could take you thrifting with me (and keep as a friend afterwards!). I find thrift stores so overwhelming and either feel like I’m trying to imagine how to make everything beautiful/useful or see only junk. Hoping can hone my eye over time. For example that giant table you found - never would have imagined it as an island!

Thank you for this video. Please do more. I find that one of the best things about buying at thrift stores is that most likely, no one else will ever have the same things you do. Unlike buying from a retail store. Thrifting makes you unique in the coolest ways. 😁

My wife and I are in the middle of some big remodel and decorating endeavors. We LOVE your videos, thanks for taking us thrift shopping and for sharing your creativity!

You are blessed to have such a variety of stores in your area. I presume you have a storage unit where you can keep the treasures you find for future use? Also...how are you cleaning the haze from the decanter? Maybe a future video on freshening up your glass finds?? Enjoy!!

Hi 👋🏻 Not Kristen 😬 I know denture cleaning tablets can remove water scum from vases so they would likely work for the decanter.

Probably a good coffee descaler product would also work well to remove hard water haze from glass. Even vinegar, although you'd have to be careful with crystal. :)

I had no idea we were from the same area. My jaw dropped when you went to the antique mall and I recognized it.

Omg the candy dispenser is SUCH a cute/cool find!!! I love finding old turned wood things, or handcarved wood. Also frames, I paint and they're EXPENSIVE new, so finding cool ones second hand is always a good day!

You are so fortunate to have such quality there. Thrift near me in Texas is limited and dismal to say the least. Thanks for sharing!

I'd love if you showed us what you thrifted & how you'd style it at home.

I love that you buy both thrift and new items! Ty again for another amazing shopping trip!

Always!!❤️❤️

Omg that dinning room table!!!!!!

Loved this video! I love the treasure hunt too. The key is to have a running list in your phone of items and go into a store “without anything in mind”. 😂

Would be fun to see how you style your finds in your home.

Nice channel. Your husband is hysterical how he “acts” surprised at the “reveal” lol

21:26 thank you, Kristen! My favorite things were the games, books, where you suggest taking off the covers, the decanters, wine, glasses, and candle sticks! I have to start thrifting.

I’ve been loving how real your content has been lately, always feels like I’m facetiming my friend & catching up ❤️ Your attention to detail and ability to make everything feel like magic is such a blessing to those around you 🦋 Thank you for shining your light in the world 🤍

Thank you!! I appreciate you and all you’re sweet comments!!❤️

Those candy dispensers were very cool. I wouldve snagged them too. I wouldn't have judged you if you snatched that wooden high chair. It was adorable

Please, do a video on how you will style all of these pieces!!!

Omg those picture frames and art are gorgeous. Also in antique stores if the price doesn’t say firm. TIP You can always negotiate. I always ask the store to call the vendor and ask if they will give me a deal and they always do.

This is a fabulous video. 😀 I like looking at a mixture of items when going to second-hand goods shops. 😀 Decor and furniture pieces provide your home with further style and character. 😀

I love the dresser, baskets and the book ends! You'd restored my love of thrifting!

I don’t get just buying books for decor. I buy them for the content & to read.

Omggg I love those gold framed paintings!

I would have loved to see you come home and decorate with your new items!

I save all my pieces for future projects! So stay tuned for styling :)

Loved, loved, loved this video………. I was so excited to see the different items from each location! It really pays off to be patient and enjoy the thrill of the hunt. I’ve found some wonderful purchases to bring home……ones that I wasn’t even looking for or knew I needed! 😊❤

Decor for sure! I love Baroque and Rococo and Victorian pieces!!

Week of the Monday and Tuesday

Dear Kristen, please show us how you'll use these things in your interior ❤❤❤❤

I wonder if you rub that kettle a Genie comes out and all of your interior design wishes come true?!

Wow! I didn’t know that thrift stores carried such quality home items. I always thought it was “junky” and cheaply looking items but your video showed me that that’s not the case. Thank you for opening my eyes! I will definitively pay closer attention from now on. Thank you!!

Good thrifting! I love this - I'm shooting a restoration video right now. A Mid-century bar cabinet. Stay tuned 🙂

Wonderful. Longer in the Consignment Store and Antique Mall. I can listen to your calm explanations of everything all day long!

Thanks for all of your great tips, your time & knowledge!💐

Monday and Tuesday afternoon

Unfortunately we dont have thrift stores in Greece. Some of the stuff you showed us are gorgeous!!!

This is amazing! Maintain your home neat, clean, and healthy with an air purifier.

Coco better leave that baby alone and let him SANG! 😂 Dentist where? This is PURE TALENT, It's a rarity in 2023❤❤😂😂

Books are for reading not decor... I would think that but, such a great idea!! Hahaha I loveeee it!

That was so enjoyable! I found something that I loved in each and every store from the thrifts, to Habitat, the Antique place and the consignment store. The clothes were pretty cute as well.

REALLY loved this video! I like to get ideas of how to use and style items for my home!

I love that teapot set with the top of the pot with a flower. So pretty and a good deal

KRISTEN, YOU'RE THE BEST! LOVE YOUR CONTENT. Great editing, ideas, love your ideas....oh, your voice is so nice too!!!

I’ve been bingeing on your videos for weeks now cuz I am about to build my dream home! 😍 And because of you, I am eyeing the sage green color to go with my color preference for my house! More particularly for my kitchen! I just genuinely love your channel! I am learning a lot! 😍🥰🥰

Thanks Kristen. You are the bomb!

That rug was stunning! I don't know where u are but your Thrift stores have way better things then our Thrift stores here

love, love, love your thrifting videos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love ALL YOUR VIDEOS though!

Love to see how you styled your finds! ❤

I have that backgammon game. Got it in the 70’s

I always look for wine glasses, baskets and books for decorating. Recently I found a beautiful antique quilt in excellent condition for $16.

Once again, your video doesn’t disappoint❤

I totally forgot about removing the dust covers from books! What was I THINKING?! You always have such valuable advice! Thank you!

Great items you showed!!! I will look into books closer now, and take the sleeve off

My gosh, every outfit you put on is absolutely adorable on you but I wish I could have the body to go along with the clothes like you have:) love your video that you made. I am remodeling my farmhouse that we bought a year ago and this video makes me so excited to go out there and look for some really great antique pieces to fit the style!

Love the 2nd hand shopping more than your store shopping 😊

I love a day of thrift store shopping!

This was a super fun video, thanks! ❤

Decanters are great for bubble bath in bathrooms. I have one by my bath. Lotions and potions!

Wow great idea!!😍

ReStore in Silverthorne Colorado is a must see!

Ha - a little misspelling of Primitive - on the sink tag.

Yes. Thank you. Eventhough they are used things. There are capable of reusable things to be essential.

I loved this video! As I look around my home, most of my decor has been found at thrift stores and auctions. It's a great way to create a unique space that exudes your personality. I love the collected-over-time look, and you can get that if you take your time and shop the thrift stores!

The copper pot was such a good find.

That yellow cover for the first book is so pretty. I love it

Wow luv luv your thrift videos. More more of your thrift videos.

I loved this kind of video! Made my day. 😊

You found unique items nice and pretty thank you for the video

Love the antique mirror with the “squares” in it! It would look so special above your fireplace. Great find! You have such a great taste. 😊

It’s good to see what’s out there. I typically don’t see much that’s my style. However it’s good to see the contrast!

I love your thrifting videos ❤

Omg, I want to go thrifting with you😮 loved everything you picked. ❤❤❤

I enjoy watching how you decorate. When you buy a rug at a thrift store do you clean it before using it? If so, how do you clean it?

That dollhouse!! ❤❤❤. Great video!

Love your videos! Can you do a video on hallway benches/entryways that fit your design style? With some of your favs? 🙏🏼☺️ also love your thrifting and extreme makeover videos ❤️

Alyour vedios interesting idea its a lot ❤❤❤ for Learning to do thanks for sharing .

Loved this video and all the unique pieces you shared!

Love your channel Kristen! I’ve never been trifling before but I am definitely interested in it now. Could you please do a video on how you clean and sanitize items you thrift please.

Awesome 🤍😀

I loved it! Thanks for sharing

Dust jacket Love your channel

That red short dress was so cute on you. At the thrift stores, I liked the small rustic console table fore behind a couch and and that small painting , they sure had some nice pieces.

That Drexel sideboard!! Omg you have to go back and get that! It’s amazing

That wooden bowl that was right next to the bookends you picked up 😍

You have so many places to choose from. I love thrifting. We don’t do it as much anymore. They don’t have too many nice thrift stores near me. I have passed a Habitat Re-store. And next time we go past and they are open we’re stopping. I don’t need anything. But I love to look. I do have a consignment store near me. Not that big. And I go there a lot. And I do buy a lot from there. I bought a little black stool shelf thing that has a drawer in it. I’m not sure where I’m going to put it. But I have a lot of black in my house. So it will go in here somewhere.

Loved the romper from thread up, but when I clicked on the link, they show up as jeans ...

Very enjoyable to watch! Great finds ❤

Omg! I love those little grape blueberry shot glasses? at 16:01. So sad I’m on the other side of the continent!😫❤️

So much fun, I could watch these thrift store videos all day! Sometimes I'll see an item that was in my home in the 70s and wonder if it actually is the exact one.

Hi Kristen, Happy Sunday to you too! I love thrift, goodwill, Salvation Army, shops etc so much l enjoyed it so much fun to be They are a good place to buy other items without having to spend too much Most of peoples & I feel a thrill of excitement & happiness What’s more good idea all of them shops have usually been donated I loved it your new video I always enjoy watching how you decorated etc It’s so BEAUTIFUL YOU ARE THE BEST!!! ❤🌼👏🏻🤟🏻🤗👍🏻
