Being the actual 65 year old grandma....lol... I relate to your love of books. Like me...if you start young.....you will have a select collection in time. My bookcases stashed with classics are backdrop of my "sanctuary" decor. Don't let anyone stifle your treasure hunts!

The beauty about second hand finds is, you find something you want and then find a better version of it, then re-donate the original. Win win, perfect recycling and the best way to find exactly what you want, without adding to consumerism. Loved everything you found 😍xx

I like to donate paperbacks to those little free libraries that you find in neighborhoods in front of people’s houses or small businesses. One day I’m gonna make one of those to post on the edge of my yard!

Yesterday at the charity shop I found a copy of Charles Dickens the old curiosity shop from FREAKING 1866 !! Of course I had to buy it it’s a piece of history

That is SO cool!!

I’m so addicted to your videos. Please don’t stop making them. ❤

I know that this is an older video but what I suggest doing for books you no longer need is to find several of those Little Free Libraries in your area, especially high traffic ones. I have several that I frequent and within a few days everything that I have put in there has been taken.

I'm already impressed at the Edgar Allen Poe book! That's such a cool find.

You made out so good! Love the books you purchased. Most libraries accept donations. I have also donated to our local Women's & Children's Center or Salvation Army, all of which help the community.

Scotty you are so true to your style and very beautiful. I truly can find part of myself in you. I am a true to my hippie style, but I appreciate your how we are alike the short vests and romantic vintage dresses. Anyway I'm finding that even though we're very different, we're both true what makes us at peace. So happy I found you. Dr Linds

Don't even think of stopping your haul videos!!! 😱 I live overseas, nearest thrift shops are an hour away, so I thrift vicariously through you!! 😝 The silver "teapot" is a coffeepot. The pink dress is gorgeous! And that white sweater... ❤️❤️ And last but not least, that pink lamp is to. die. for!!!! 🌺

Hahaha I just don’t wanna seem like a hoarder, and also some want me channel to be JUST a thrifting channel 😂 Id hate to have one niche. I am making sure lately to only buy things I absolutely love and have a vision for. It’s amazing that I’ve been able to transform my home into the home of my dreams simply from thrifting. When I first moved to this home I didn’t have any decor and it stayed that way for a few years. I only started hanging things on the walls recently.

I love Edgar & my mother is now 96, she was born in 1927…and would love to find the same book 😊

i believe the floral doily you showed was cross stitch, i wasn't able to get a close up view but cross stitch is basically pixel art made with x's of thread. it can include some embroidery for outlines or details but the majority of it will be those little x's of thread. i've done several cross stitch projects, it's pretty fun. :)

I'm currently on the beginner sewers(?) sew-ers 🤷‍♀️ journey. I got a sewing machine for Christmas and have started culling all the clothes I need to patch and a ton of ideas, like making pillows for all my hoard of throw pillow cases 😬 I have 3 kids two are under 5 so I haven't even opened the box yet bc I imagine trying to sit down and sew without an interruption or without my girls trying to "help" I will get around to it eventually...along with my brand new unopened keyboard and its stand 😔

@DressMeUpScotty

Admittedly I do mostly buy books to be decorative and look nice because I can’t stand the way that modern books look (unless they’re special editions like the Sherlock Holmes book). However I do prefer to buy books I’ve read and like. For example I have read Sherlock Holmes and I think I mentioned I prefer to listen to audiobooks which I have all of the Sherlock Holmes books on audible. I have inattentive Adhd so it’s incredibly hard to sit still and read because I have this constant urge to be up and doing something but I also have to be engaging my brain so I’m always listening to podcasts, KZread video essays and of course: audio books. I have a lot of paperbacks of classics I’ve read that I hide away and I’m slowly replacing them with hard covers with nice binding. Like the Sherlock Holmes books. I don’t necessarily think it’s a bad thing if people want to collect things because they look pretty. I have a lot of books from the 1910’s-1930’s that are beautiful but way too delicate to read through without a lot of care. Some people collect records, knickknacks, and antique books are a similar thing. You feel like you own a piece of history. I always love it when the original owners name is written in it or there’s a dedication from a gift giver. It makes you wonder about the person who used to own it.

My symptoms started to taper off after day 8 if I remember correctly. My symptoms weren’t too bad and my lack of taste lasted like one day tbh. So hopefully yours won’t be too bad either! I think the worst symptom was just being tired and out of it. So make sure you rest, stay hydrated and get plenty of sleep ❤️❤️❤️ sending good vibes! 🙏🏼
