This past week I was visiting a family member in the St. Louis hospital, so I wasn’t able to craft anything. I hope you will enjoy this video even though it is different from my previous ones. Next week, I will show what I did with my finds!

You could use the wooden box with the lid as a teabag holder.

Leave the canisters green/turquoise. If they’re flawless don’t mess with them. A pop of color in you retail space will be striking.

Most people couldn’t appreciate the amazing deal I got recently, but I know you will. I’d been admiring a beautiful set of Pfaltzgraff dinner dishes for at least a year now. It didn’t have a price on it so I figured it was really expensive. My last visit at that store I decided to ask, and I was shocked at the answer! There was over a hundred pieces in the set, and I only paid a hundred dollars for a sixty one year old set. 😁 That is a Christmas gift for me! Lol

I love St Vincent DePaul. They are great for furniture. I’ve purchased the most fantastic vtg oil paintings over the years. My mother was a painter so I have developed an eye for original paintings of all types. I frequently find chunky wood lamps which I chalk paint and distress, and same with the the wood hanging shelves. They are gorgeous chalk painted. Always looking for candlesticks, pottery and wicker. I recently found a gorgeous begonia leaf majolica tray for $2.95 and a McCoy large jardiniere for $4.95. I just discovered you and subbed to your channel. Love it. A nice departure from the twenty somethings videos.

New to your channel , came across your video and decided to watch. Glad I did, I been a thrifter since childhood not by choice but because we were poor.

But now as an single empty nester I can finally decorate more to my taste but without the outrageous price.

I wish there was a way to attach pictures. I was pursuing Goodwill yesterday and ran across an original charcoal (colored) drawing of a horse on natural fibered linen or other similar material. It is then double matted. Love the use of natural fiber texture in the material or perhaps a specialized paper. It has a gift inscription on the back indicating that it is an original charcoal dated 1975 with the recipient's name and the artist's initials. It is fabulous in my estimation! $6 for a 14x 25 and I am betting the frame was created by the artist as well. Thought of you. 🤗
