Our thrift shops are popular but expensive. Prices are often similar to retail stores unfortunately. But I still love to thrift shop.

I bought the small wire garbage cans from the Dollar Tree and put over my plants that the rabbits and squirrels were trying to eat. Worked great and cheap! I love all your videos!

No no no stone on the candelabra. A patina of some sort to enhance the details. Why cover it in stone?

Linda, you spur my kind of "winter dead imagination". Stewart may be teasing, but you are so creative and artistic!

Thrift store shopping is the bomb🌻

I've been getting items for the garden from thrift stores for years! I love seeing how you use some of the things that I pass up. Now I will look at them with a new light. Thanks

Awesome, Linda. That gravel scoop made me jealous!!!! THAT was a fabulous find !!!!! And those britches are cool too. Loved everything

I love that you encourage us to shop around for creative garden items. You give us great cost savings ideas and resources. Gardening can get very expensive as you know so inexpensive solutions is a great gift to all of us. I watch other garden influencers and they have good ideas but most of them are pushing products and seem to have deep pockets when putting together garden projects. Thanks Linda for making us feel like no matter what your budget you can produce a productive and beautiful garden.

You are so right. Gardening can be so expensive. Even if you have the money though, I think it is so worthwhile to try to reuse things that already exist. Plus I do love the patina of all things. As long as we are careful not to make it look junky and to use things in a intentional stylish way, I think it’s a brilliant solution

What wonderful thrifted items repurposed for the garden. You have given me so much inspiration. Thank you for this video. I really enjoy watching your junk store finds.

I have a wire basket exactly like your number two item. Mine was from my previous refrigerator. I too use it in the garden.so glad I saved it. Very useful.

Thanks Linda, great tips. Love finding cool things at antique and thrift stores for all kind of fun uses!

Love how your creative mind works. Keep these coming!

You inspired me. I love to shop at thrift stores but I will definitely be looking for stuff I can use in the garden now. And Thanks for the ideas for discouraging the squirrels. I'm about to scream with frustration!

Linda, I just came from the thrift store... ( found a lot of nice things...:) ) Came home and your video popped up. Perfect ....

Those pants are awesome!

You are a sweetheart. They are teasing you bc they care about you. Love ur channel. Blessings

Love Love Love this!!! Thank you Linda and Stewart.

Love your creativity and enthusiasm! Your family can tease you mercilessly all they want but you know they actually respect and admire your brilliant ideas and thriftiness! You've inspired me! Thank you!

Linda, I love using thrift store finds in the garden. You supplied some great new ideas! Thanks.

Yes! Loving the gardening tips and the Sarah Conner vibe for the garden😀🌿

LOVE IT! Especially that rusty metal tray 🪴🪴🪴

So many things can be be done with a little creativity! I love repurposing things I find along the road!

Oh Lindavi Love, Love, Love Shopping Thrift store and garage sales. Thank you for all your tips. So until next time God Bless you and Stewart and have a Blessed day and Stay Safe my dear Friends.

I am obsessed with the chalice planter. I have to head to Goodwill now and hope for the best!

I am so happy to have stumbled upon this video. Thank you so much to inspire me to update some old stuff into new.

LINDA, FIRST OF ALL I WANTED TO THANK YOU FOR ALL THE VIDEOS YOU HAVE GIVEN US DURING THE WINTER MONTHS THEY ARE OR I SHOULD SAY HAVE BEEN SO MUCH FUN!!!!!! THEY HAVE HELPED ME TO GET THROUGH THE WINTERTIME OF ROCHESTER NY,!!!!!!! I LOVE THRIFTING AND LOOKING FOR THE UNUSUAL IT IS SO MUCH FUN AND PRACTICAL, I WENT TODAY DID NOT FIND MUCH BUT I KNOW IT IS A TREASURE OUT THERE. LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING YOU YOU SOON. THANK YOU!!!!!

I love all your ideas for thrifted finds in the garden.

Love the ideas, the finds and purposes. You re my winter soothing voice person and now a loving my planet person too. Were all in it😍👌

Linda Vater what a creative detective......you know how to think ahead, and create in your mind something that other haven't got that gift. Love your determination. And you know how to recycle everything. Again rare gift.

Love recycling op shop things it gets me so excited just getting something for small coins and turning it into a gift or for the house and garden the fence. Love watching your video's so inspiring thank you 💚

Some great tips here. Thanks. You rock the utility pants ! I love to pick up metal items too. Look forward to seeing the candelabra project when finished.

I love your videos! Thank you for all the great tips! I love to use spray paint for my thrift store finds! I found a wire make- up vanity chair once at a thrift store and took it home. It looked kinda ratty so I spray painted it black, now I use it to display a potted plant. I also spray paint old plastic planter pots. Happy Gardening everyone! 💓❤️🧡💛💚💕

You are creative that’s why gardening is a art!

❤️ ❤️ ❤️. New subscriber, so glad to find someone else who repurposes non traditional garden items to make it unique.

Love your ideas. Love going to the thrifty stores.

More great inspiration - I have been to the Goodwill weekly. I am getting to know the merch in my store very well...LOL. Thank you - enjoyed this very much!

One of the most upscale & content packed trash to treasure videos ever!

I just rescued a bowl out of the goodwill box. I’m going to repurpose instead of giving away. Thanks Linda. I agree with Stewart, you are so creative 🧤

KZreadrs seem to find neat stuff at thrift stores. Maybe I don't have the gift for spotting such great items, but it's nice to see what others score. Glad you're out in the garden again.

Love ❤️ your tips I have several items in my shed that I will be repurposing this spring.

😆You ARE so creative 👏& I appreciate your terrific thrifty ideas! 👍👍

Great ideas for the garden. Love them all. Thank you for sharing. Your videos are so interesting and informative!

Hi Linda great video lots of great ideas of different ways to use all types of things in your garden. I love recycling. I do it lots on my garden to. Love your trousers what a great way to use them in your garden. So useful. And bad Stewart for mocking Linda.

Love the repurpose of items!

Very creative ideas, loved them all.

I will watch for these items at the Goodwill. Great ideas!

I LOVE your thrift find videos! 😍

Love this! Really like the candle holder hooked over a fence or trellis idea.

I had that idea about 8 years ago. I had small mason jars which I used for candles and fastened them to my white lattice.

So many great ideas! I love repurposed items! We recently repurposed a swing set into a chicken coop! Thank you for your great ideas! Now I want to run off to a thrift store! :)

Really great ideas!!! I love the wire cloches and baskets, I have chickens this would work to keep them out of my pots.

I just stumbled upon your channel. Absoltely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your eco-friendly soul. I too love to upcycle EVERYTHING. I LOVE "trash" to treasure using the term (trash) lightly. Most things people toss - usually have so much life left and can always be upcycled into something beautiful, and useful. I really enjoy to re-use, recycle, upcycle, multi purpose items. Thift stores, consignment, flea market, garage, yard, and estate sales = THE BEST! We all can help do our part, and stop buying new. (Some items must be new. Non negotiable = under wear, bras) 😁 We need to stop being a 'throw away' society. Thank you for taking time to share your wonderful videos with all of us. Sending hugs, beach vibes, and sunshine- from the Texas Gulf Coast 🤗🏝🌅 Mel

Love! Love! Love! You’re so talented. Keep these videos coming! Thank you 😊

I also just love this type of video , plus I already had some of these things I had purchased from thrift stores and you have given me some fantastic ideas!!! Thank you so much for all your videos!!!!

Loved this video. Thank you Laura & Aaron.

Love the recycling ideas!

Fantastic Ideas! Love it!

Loved all your tips and giggles 🤭

That was fun! I love "treasure hunting" :)

😅😆 you made me laugh when you said your husband has been mercilessly (and your son's also), making fun of you with "you are so creative" in that high pitch voice..... 😆 It's their "creative way" if verbalizing their love for you 💖☺️..... Loved one like teasing us but him being your camera person is showing great support ☺️ (even if he is laughing at you behind the camera and behind the scenes). Love your thrift finds and the uses you did with them!

Linda, you’re such a good teacher.

I just love your thrift store videos!

Brilliant!!!!! You have the best ideas!

This is the first time I have seen your videos and I loved it you are so creative . I really love plants and flowers I worked for one spring/summer and am hooked and love plants and flowers. Love thrift stores 😀 Blessings love and light. Washington State

Awesome ideas, wonderful video !!

I love this! Keep them coming!

I was just watching this video again as I clear out "links" I've saved - and I'm not deleting it! I have quite a few thrift store candle holders in my back yard I use for solar lights. And another view of this video gave me the idea of using a candle holder/metal planter basket as a lantern!

Just found your video, enjoyed immensely, appreciate your ideas and use of thrift store finds, especially of plastic items. Thank you.

Ok. Ok. I will start looking at my thrift store for stuff!! I guess my Grandmother was right after all🤣❤️🥰

I love the nasturtium tip! I love those flowers

I am so much like you. I found all kind of treasures in my basement. We look for old chairs and take the bottoms out and put netting and put flowers. I use an old metal wheelbarrow with holes.put dirt and 💐 flowers. I love all of your ideas. I use old beautiful plates , bottles, glass bowlset c in my gardens.
