THRIFT STORE DECOR 2022 - I Can't Believe I Found This Art!

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

3 Thrift Stores In One Day - Decorate With Me! You always bring me luck! OK! For 2022 I am decorating with navy and yellow in mind. I am on the hunt for all things yellow and blue and we scored! I saw so many amazing things and I even scored a vintage jacket that I have to model for you!
Did you see anything that spoke to you today? A sign? Let me know in the comments!
We went to 2 Salvation Army stores here in Grand Rapids and 1 Goodwill. What fun and I truly felt we all went together! I am anxious to see what you think of the items I picked up!
I am going to open a little eBAy store so I can showcase some of the items I find and offer them at very low prices. I love to change out my items often so this might be a win win for us!
I also chat about how we sometimes don't feel we have what it takes to succeed. Have you ever felt like this in your life?
Thank you so much for being here!
I love you to the moon and back again,
Have a wonderful safe new week...
xxoo, Susan & Desi

    The funniest time at a thrift store was when I went with my friend who was mad at her husband. He had told her to not spend much and just go to a thrift store. So she found lots of items….and when we got to the cashier….she had spent $350. I about died….laughing because she didn’t bat an eye. Her husband later shook his head and laughed and said he never dreamed anyone could spend that much money at Goodwill. Oh my do we laugh about that!!

    Could you please consider doing a video on what you do with all your home decor items when you redecorate or change out decor and get new things for your home, because living in an apartment doesn't leave us much space to store all these extra items we change out in the seasons when we change to summer, spring, fall, and winter decor. Do you store it in a rented storage unit or donate it or have a garage sale or yard sale in order to recycle and get new stuff all year long? I'm sure a lot of other people are just as curious as I am about that because you do change out and get new home decor quite often. I'm curious to learn how you store, organize it and remember what you have and where it's at when it comes time to change out and redecorate your home decor when the seasons change. Also maybe you could do a video on how often you clean and dust everything and what some of your favorite cleaning supplies are and what some of your cleaning techniques and cleaning secrets are to keep it all so new and shiney looking all the time. Love all your videos. I look forward to them every weekend. Hugs and love to you and your precious little pup Desi. He's just adorable!!!

    Oh my gosh, I've been a navy/burgundy/yellow decorator for years! Since I was in my 20s I have been collecting a type of blue and white china called flow blue which was mainly produced in the 19th and early 20th centuries, so when it came time to buy a new sofa, it had to be navy blue to look good with my china collection. When that sofa wore out, I bought another navy blue one and I love it! I use accents of burgundy and yellow and I think it looks lovely. I like that you buy things that make you happy or inspire you, not to fit trends that come and go. Good for you!

    Just stumbled on your 3rd year utube anniversary with Q and A. You really haven't changed too much. Music probably still brings tears and you as all of us still longing to be loved. When we find ourselves single because we haven't found our love or single because of divorce or single because of the death of our love we all still yearn to be loved by another human. Dogs, pets and family and friends just don't fill the warm loving embrace or holding hands as you watch the sunset or being covered with a warm blanket out of the dryer. 😪 oh my gosh i so very much miss my husband Jim of 52 married years. We were together since i was 15 years old, my one and only. Regret not telling him everyday what an amazing husband and daddy and grandfather!!!! Widowed since September 2019. Will i ever find love again? Feeling envious as i see an elderly couple holding hands 😪 I know this is the life right now and everything can change in a blink of an eye. Be blessed dear Susan. You are amazing and awesome things are coming into your life this year. You are admired and loved by so many!!!

    I love the leopard jacket. I had one that was similar, back in the day, but I think I only wore it a couple of times. I got so much attention, when I wore that jacket, that it actually made me self conscious. When I see the way you styled it with a black dress, it makes me wish I had worn it more. Mine ended up going to a thrift store and I guess a more confident woman got to enjoy wearing it. LOL

    Hi Susan I was so excited to see the plate that you picked up that looks like mosaic tiles. I have a ceramic tile exactly like it that is framed in wood that you use as a trivet. This was gifted to me from two dear friends that brought it back to me from Bethlehem!. They told me the tile represents the mosaic at the Sea of Galilee site where people from the Byzantine era made a memorial to Christ’s miracle of feeding the masses with two fish and the loaves of bread. I just love mine.

    Susan & Desi, I’ve enjoyed buying many beautiful clothes & home decor items at thrift stores in the past, & it was always so much fun! BUT, since I downsized & moved into a small apartment, I can’t buy another thing until I finish going through, sorting & purging the many boxes of photos, mementos, papers, files & excess clothes I have! Although some are crammed into my garage & every closet, many are still in plain sight with no where else to go. I’m in my late 60’s, widowed, live alone with my kitty, & the decision fatigue & lack of motivation are sickening. I’m trying hard to stay focused & keep my chin up, but some days, it feels futile & all I want to do (& have done) is just sit down & cry. I’ve tried several methods & even had a pro come in to help, until I couldn’t afford to keep paying. I have a good life & am thankful for my many blessings. I just need my space to be serene & uncluttered, where I can finally feel at home. Thank you for letting me share my feelings with this community of supportive women. If any of you have been through this & finished, I’d love to hear how you did it. Thanks & love to all of you wonderful, strong women!

    Great finds! My Grandma had a yellow kitchen. She made the best dinner rolls and breakfast rolls I've ever had. It was always so bright cheerful. My second apartment had yellow checked wallpaper. I've used yellow and and blue in my kitchen for about 3 decades. I can't imagine using other colors. Am I in a rut? I don't care. I love it and it makes me happy. Blessings to you and Desi from Midas and me!

    I gained 25 lbs in the last two months because of debilitating depression, laying on the couch and eating whatever I felt like. I found a casual designer dress yesterday at a thrift shop in a size 8. for $10. It was too snug so I passed it by telling myself that I’m not rewarding myself with clothing until I drop at least 10 lbs. My winter weight usually comes off with spring gardening. But I haven’t had this kind of gain since childbirth. There was wall art that I loved. I need to go back and try again. My apartment is a bare minimalistic slate. My curtains are white. It’s time to fill my life with happiness. Secondhand happiness won’t hurt the planet… lol

    I grew up thrifting out of necessity now as a hobby business. I LOVE treasure hunting & am out at least 3 times a week. I don’t always sell my finds but the Native American tile is FABULOUS! I have sold $2 tiles for $100 ( I’d have kept the tile for myself). Dressing & decorating with one of a kind items to me takes talent. You have the eye, flair & artistic ability to put it all together. I bought a hand carved Walnut wood Eagle that is about 4 feet tall, wingspan at least 3 feet wide for $50 in Hastings ( over $1000 resale value) and surprised my Mr as a gift.

One was a handpainted basket trimmed in 24k gold 3.99 The other was handpainted dish with lid 3.99, both Victorian. Then these beautiful porcelain figurines with porcelain lace on their dress also Victorian. I love antique and thrift stores. So HAPPY to see you and Mr Desi. You both have a blessed and safe week.

You and Desi are such a pleasure to watch. I Love when you share your life with us. Have a Blessed day to you and DESI❤️🙏🏻🤗🌺🐾🦴 A special trip to the thrift store for me was when I found a vase that my Grandmother had cherished. While she was alive someone had broken it and she tried to glue it back together. But it completely broke one day and I know she was sad to let it finally go. So know that she passed I found it in the store and it made me cry because I felt like she was saying remember me. And Yes I bought that little vase and I cherish it as I cherish my Grandma ❤️

I love to go thrifting with you and all your finds. I appreciate that you have a wholesome content and really care and want to connect to your subscribers....I feel like I am visiting with and old friend of many years when I watch your videos. You inspire so many women, to get up put on make up, do your hair and wear trendy clothes for YOU not anyone else . People/women need to hear that over 50 we still have value, much to give and that life can be good and that there is more good days to come. Pandemic made me feel and look frumpy...I stopped doing all those things of taking care of me and how I looked....then I started to watch your videos...and I regained the want to look my best....to decorate my home...to enjoy alot of little things that make life so much better....it really is the little things that make life better....a new {thrifted} cute outfit, thrifted treasures to decorate my home with and good books to read and encourage me...again, thank you for your content, I look forward to your next video

    That leopard jacket looks like it was made just for you, and looks amazing the way you styled it!. And what a great price! I wish I had a friend like you in real life, Susan. You are just the most precious soul, and with just enough spunk, and sass and humor. I adore your positivity and joyful spirit. In the past, I always chose friends who were much more outgoing and dynamic, and more domineering than I am. I loved to be a follower, and they were happy to lead. But now, I just want to be the leader of me, and decide where I want to go, eat, shop, travel, instead of letting someone else decide for me. I would rather have no friends, than friends who need me to follow. I know, this is off topic, but I do wish I knew someone like you where I live. I cannot believe your neighbor doesn’t like you. They must be really unhappy and crabby. What’s not to love??? Thank you, for being a light in the darkness.

    I love your videos! RC Gorman print tile is "Portrait of Angelina", simply beautiful. Incorporating the print with cultural decors in an area is so conducive to Native culture, as you perfectly outlined. The figurine of the mom with her children, the mixture of ornated fruits, baskets, and the pairing of Maxfield Parrish future of visual art, Ann Marks story of a secret gift photographer is a beautiful mirror of your gift of decorating from your heart. The sponsors may pay the bills; but what you provide is an inspiration of hope, strength, growth, feminity, and life in a moment of calmness, which is priceless. Walking into a house that tells stories throughout without saying a word is an admiration of the homeowner. Know you are admired and appreciated! Maybe it's me, but after watching your video I want to treat myself to fine appetizers, wine, a tub full of bubbles, and start decorating. Thank you!!!
