Imagine my surprise this morning to hear my name mentioned. 🙂. I’m so happy to have the Leo Salazar. Knew I wanted him as soon as you picked him up at the store. I also have a carving from one of Leo’s sons, Michael. They look great together. And love that you shared the money with habitat. You’re one of my favorite KZreadrs. Been watching for quite awhile. The fact you’re also from the PDX metro area is a great bonus.

Dear Laura. My name is Augusto and I wish you a good day from Brazil. Just want to tell you how cool your videos are and how much I have been learning from you about pottery and pieces made of wood. You have an impecable taste! My daughter lives in Vancouver BC and I wish one day I can pay you a visit! You and Jesse are an incredible couple! Good luck on your findings!

I really appreciate your integrity on giving back to Habitat for the Leo Salazar sculpture. That is one of the reasons I watch your videos.

Yes! Me too! I have quit watching a number of other resellers because I am tired of hearing them complain about the prices they pay at GW, other thrift stores, etc. They would never consider returning a portion of their profits to the organization.

You eye, your knowledge and your excellent curation are why your items are worth every penny you sell them for! Your vignettes are amazing.

With all of the craziness in our world right now, it is wonderful to come to your channel and get uplifted and inspired. Your energy is fantastic!

I love your taste and admire the way you compose your staging displays. Your shopping trips are almost as fun as going along and coming home with bargains because of your upbeat, adventurous spirit. Great channel!

I really appreciate the way you do your videos. I enjoy all aspects, the shopping, styling, information regarding the value/history of the pieces, etc. I appreciate your kindness in donating back to Habitat for Humanity and your willingness to donate valuable pieces to museums. I think your genuineness will cause your channel and business to thrive.

Laura, thank you for you great videos! I love your style and demeanor, watching you is not only educational but relaxing because of your sweet personality ❤🙏🏻

Habitat for Humanity is a fantastic organization and thank you for donating!

I love those zigzag candle holders!

My love of vintage grew in Germany. We were stationed there from 72 to 96 (my dad retired and became an army civilian like me) so I went to a lot of flea markets growing up. Then I moved stateside and started going to thrift stores.

Wow Laura ! You never cease to amaze me. And I was delighted to read a story about you the other day published by the Sun and it was top story in my Google Feed. Congratulations. You’re a rock star of thrifting.

What a wonderful video. I’m loving the “thrift, style,update” format but I really can’t wait for your sister’s bedroom reveal.❤️

Canadian girl here….I have come to the conclusion that the “goodwills” in my area of NB suck. I rarely find anything that gets me excited. Don’t get me wrong, I have found the odd item but when I see what you & others find daily, weekly, monthly, I am so jealous!!! It does, however, make watching your videos very interesting. Keep thrifting & teaching us. 🥰

LOL I have the same problem over here in regional Australia! Everything at the thrift is so-so bar the occasional piece. If I wanna get excited I have to visit the consignment place up the hill and hope I can spot some overlooked treasure. 😆

I’m in the same position. We have NO good thrift store here in northern Ontario Canada. They are very junky & expensive. It’s so frustrating.

What a blessing you are Laura for giving back 😊😊

I love everything you bought and how you staged it. Your GW store is like a new vintage or antique store here. You are so fortunate to have all the wonderful influence of the left coast style. And I am so glad that you are able to share your thoughts and ideas with the rest of us ❤️ 😍

So happy to have found your channel. I’m in England and love “thrifting” and up cycling. I miss Goodwill stores - lived in WI for 7 years and loved mooching around in Goodwill. X

Your staging skills are incredible. Even though mid century modern is not me, I love what you do with your beautiful finds. Really enjoy your channel andtheway you educate viewers. Thamkyou Laura.

I'd love to see your process for researching your "unknown" finds". Love going along with you on your thrifting adventures (near & far).

It’s rare to find tropical flower candles in 2nd hand shops. So wild to think the previous owner also didn’t use it. Too pretty to light up the wick ❤

I totally agree with following your gut. I don’t normally pick up art pieces because they are usually priced way too high for what they are in our thrift stores here in Oz but this week I just couldn’t pass by a particular piece that was only $10. When I got home I found it was buy South African artist Godfrey Ndaba and could be worth up to $500. I might b keeping that for myself because I actually really like it.

Whoa! You killed this video. They way its put together is perfection...😊

I'm getting a seal or sea lion with arched back, and not a bird, from that first piece you picked up. I love that tiered candleholder from the 1990's artist. Great find.

Oh my goodness, I thought I was creative. Why hadn't I ever thought of using corks to raise my individual bowls up??? LOVE you! Keep on with the great ideas, you are so inspiring. We are going thrifting someday together!! Between Pennsylvania and Oregon you guys have the best Good wills!

I love that donation system for big,k lucky finds. Well done you splitting the profit. That is where you hooked me. Sending you kindness and a thank you hug.

I have to say that you are an amazing interior designer! Very inspiring!

I saw your thumbnail and said "OMGoodness, there it is, that is PERFECT!" Then I grabbed my hubby and showed him the orange vase and said "this is what I am looking for!" The color and size are prefect for what I need it for. Gonna check my local thrift stores for that vase. Thank you!

Anytime of the day is a good morning when I pop on one of your videos I love your chipper sweet attitude and I love that you teach us thank you for what you do I love to see you have a blast can't wait to join you someday

Thank you . I do enjoy your picks and information. I have always been interested in art, and I would love to read your Art book of the world. I am now 83 and currently unable to walk very far, so shopping with you is fun.

Your kitchen is absolutely stunning! Thank you for sharing your content!

I love Polish pottery too. We went a few times when I lived in Germany

Hi Laura from France I think of you everytime I am thrifting. There are amazing items here😍

I love your videos because you are very SMART and calm and decorate beautifully.

It is such a treat to watch pull your designs together! A sure sign that you are doing what you were meant to do. Giacometti is pronounced jock-a-metti. Accent on the first syllable.

When are we going see your sister’s makeover?We have been hearing about it ,for a bit long .😁

This channel keeps getting better and better.

Thanks. You are very talented advertiser and businessmen. And you choose the things are very correct for interior design. The orange glass vase is gorgeous. That peace will be great in interior.

You’re so blessed with amazing Goodwills!!

Dang I wish we had Good Will Super store's here.

Those floating tropical flowers are beautiful. You have the right idea: keep them for decoration, don't burn!

I enjoy watching you and I have learned so much from you about the antique business.🌹

OMG! Fantastic finds! That was so kind of you to donate to Habitat for Humanity. Your vignettes (spelling?) are always so beautiful. You have such a talent! And those zigzag wood candleholders...I LOVE THOSE! Dang, I want those! Oh, and that green lamp shade was perfect for that lamp.

I couldnt love your mid mod style any more than I do! I drove up Oregon/wash coast and thrifted all the way! The BEST!!!! I’m coveting all your finds!

I am always amazed at what you find from Goodwill. I really must spread my horizons up here in Seattle, learning so much from you.

Really love the orange glass vase - it will add such a great pop of color to a room!

The orange vase could be a vintage reproduction by Crate and Barrel. They’ve done many interesting shapes and colors over the years and always good quality.

Laura, if was great to see you expand your comfort zone, purchasing the orange Mid-Century vase! The lamps were delicious, like you I don’t mind small chips here or there, a few, not a lot. I describe them to my brain as just their backstory. I think you and I are not of the norm, I have had a vintage shop on Etsy since 2011, my customer base is very diverse, but chips are out of the question. Regardless it is vintage and one of a kind, people still want items with no damage. So I have solved that problem easily, I would keep the lamps for myself and list something from my personal lamp collection. When I add to my own home, I will sell or donate items. Space is always the constant obstacle. 😂😂 nice haul👏❤️👏

I wish that we had thrifts like that here. Ah well, I like watching what you get anyway. Just my opinion; and of course it's subjective-but, I think that Italian pottery lamp would look better with a white/linen lamp shade. :)

Lots of great finds! My favorites are the zig zag candlesticks! So cool!

I had that black modern lamp in Chrome as bedside lamps from Ikea in 1990 , I bought them for $19.99 ea. Ikea lamps back then were heavy and solid .

I absolutely love the orange abstract vase and I am not one for abstract but it is such nice quality. I absolutely love it

Laura, you really have a design eye and artistic talent, bravo! ❤

I don’t know how you do it! I go into my local Goodwills (Gresham, Woodstock, & east Portland) & never find the things like you find. I guess I am shopping in the wrong stores 😊 xo

You have the most beautiful items at your Goodwill….simply amazing 💗

Thanks for sharing. I always love what you pick up and also the knowledge of some of the pieces you find.

You wanted to know why subscribers watch your videos...well, speaking for myself, it's your kind, gentle personality. How sweet that you donated half of your profit from the monk carving back to Habitat for Humanity!!

So nice if you to donate 1/2 back to Habitat for Humanity, love that! Can’t wait to see your sisters bedroom remake & the rest of your home remodel! Happy thrifting 😊

Loved you giving back ❤ great finds

Dang $1.99 for a Tiki Mug is FANTASTIC!! I rarely find Tiki mugs but when I do they are always priced around $8.99 each (at Goodwill). LOVE the bird! When I see the great stuff you find at Goodwill I am in awe. Really enjoy the "Updates and Identification" part of your videos. Interesting information regarding the "brass knuckles" piece. Who would of thunk?

Laura just to let you know how much I enjoy your channel . I have to have my fix everyday I look forward to it I get to see your thrift shops and to visit the places you go too,two of my favourite things. You have such a bubbly personality and you are very inspirational. Keep them coming 🥰thanks Karen from England xx

Your love for Italian pottery had an influence on me; I found a cute little dish at my local booth place for just $18, I heard your voice in my head as soon as I flipped it over and saw 'italy' 😆 I was able to identify the company and list it in my Etsy store for 3 figures. Phone bill paid! 🙌

Yesss many times I thought why so worried about the little chips. In Europe, if it's not a huge one, little imperfections makes the object more wabi.sabi, and gives it some more character.

You make Thrifting exciting

My favorite part is to see how you stage. The items are all different, but the colors play well nicely.

I love the orange bubble vase! But, the comp for the Kaiser lamp was ceramic. 14:48 WOW, good on you girl! I could not have let those zigzag candleholders go.

Yes,They are floating candles, pretty

Fabulousness! Your style, your genuineness and caring of other people less fortunate are just some of the reasons I adore you! One day John and I will be able to take a trip with you guys 🥰 We will be in Scotland again during one of the Italy trips. 🎉 London maybe? 🤔🤔

Love those lamps! Really enjoy you taking us along to these shops, as there just are not many where I’m living, but whenever I get to one, I head straight to the housewares section. 😊

The item you thought was a bowl holder is part of a Sky Zone mist maker. It holds the bowl part of the mist maker. I always enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing them!🙂

My eyes are really attracted to the color orange lately. Love the 3 tiered globe vase/lamp and love the art piece with the women behind it.

I need that Bali flying statue. I love Bali!

You are too adorable! Rainy curls 'n all!

The Italian lamps are beautiful!

You could put a small clear slim vase/glass in the cut out vase,and still put in flowers.

Oh my! Loved the polish pottery and the cat candle holder in the style show!

Good morning, Laura. I went thrifting yesterday and found a pair of cube shaped, marble candle holders. I was so thrilled. I have never found marble at our little thrift shop before.

Cant wait to see your sister’s makeover! Saw the orange vase and gasped - soo cool 🟠🟠🟠

I cannot wait to see your living room and the bomb shelter!!!! :)

Great instinct on the orange vase!!!

I love your videos. I found your videos when I was trying to find about the vintage jewelry, since I have been collecting jewelry and repurpose them, Two years ago I decided to learn how to make Metalsmith jewelry and I was able to pay for my classes for 1 year. Now I have lots of jewelry new made by me and repurpose jewely. I wanted to open my online store but I didn't know where to go, until you mention the website you create your store. I will give it a try. Thank you.

I used to get those floating flower candles in Thailand. They break and melt easily in hot weather, so take care.

You are such a super star, laura! Everything you do in golden! Thanks for being such an inspiration ❤

So , Jesse and I are kindred spirits and sentimental! I am a kitschy gnome I thus it’s as well😂

I love going to NEW goodwills and thrift stores in different areas! There's always a new vibe and fun finds! Great video : ) You inspire me to keep going out to look for treasures!

Another lovely video, thanks!! I especially loved the candles and candle holders. What a great idea to just float the gorgeous flowers candles (unlit) with white candles (lit). ❤

that looks like a sea lion for me. So pretty

Great haul. Especially the pottery & candles. Love the little blue dot vase. Those flower candles are so pretty. Orange isn't my favorite color, but the interesting shape!

I believe the carved out pottery is for orchids

I use a Bali crib angel as my Christmas tree topper!

I love getting to new carts at the Goodwill too! That orange vase reminds me of Scandinavian designed pieces. Beautiful!

Wryn is adorableeee❤❤❤❤

I can't wait for your sister's room makeover surprise. Just love your style. Thanks for sharing 😘

I'd weight the flower candles so the heat from regular ones is not to close

Great finds! The Scandinavia bird also looks like at could be a seal.

It was so nice to run into you.
