Ended up stumbling upon a yard sale in my area saw this little cabinet thing, didn’t get it, went home for an hour , regretted not getting it walked back and they were starting to clean up so she just gave it to us for free along with a bunch of movies

Yes to the clip on earring line! A yard sale tip: Sometimes things that don't sell will be put out for free the next day, so it might be worth it to swing around again.

This happened to me accidentally on an evening walk. I offered to pay for this great chair and the owner was like: "No, just take it!" It’s great and functional to this day!

best yard sale i ever went to was a fancy but also hippie house on long island... the mom and daughter duo were both my size and my friends and i found vintage 60s Marimekko, Manolo Blahnik ballerina flats, Moosewood cookbooks, vintage beaded necklaces, floaty eyelet white cotton nightgowns, etc. Best part was EVERYTHING was $1!!! vintage manolos for $1. i still have dreams of this day☀

I have this problem where I can't leave a yard sale without buying something. I convince myself it's rude to look through someone's stuff, then walk away with nothing. In my head, it comes across as, "yuck...your junk is garbage." Hahaha. I'm sure they don't think I think that but I keep myself awake at night worrying. Lmao. I'm also terrible at bargaining. I'm bad to say, "are you sure that's all you want for "xyz"?!" 🤣

I used to go yard saling with my mom all the time, we would use garage sale finder and a local free paper to plan a route for yard sales every Saturday. We unfortunately lost my mom to cancer in December 2021, so I haven’t gone much since. But lo and behold one day last summer my boyfriend and I are out and see a yard sale sign, and decide to go. This is the first yard sale I went to after my mom passed, and they had a like 8” ceramic chipmunk statue for sale. My mom always fed the chipmunk that lives in our backyard, she loved the little guy, and we all have an association of chipmunks with my mom. Of course I had to buy it, and now he sits on a shelf in my room next to her urn 💜

3:52 A tip for those big type of houses: GO ON TRASH DAY Like, figure out the different days and route the garbage truck drives by, and that way you also know the times of when to go to hopefully be there before

We love a good yard sale! My best tip: Pack a big ol water bottle with ice in it if you go by car. The car gets hot, but the water will be nice and refreshing. All that running around catches up quick.

YES to the comfy clip on line! My ears also reject piercings and i can only wear clip ons for 2 hours max. 🙃

I gotta say.. yard sale-big with Kathleen is the best. 11/10 would do every weekend!

okay but can we get a video where you go through your style evolution because I must know what your style was like with a lip ring 👀

i love this idea haha. emo/scene kathleen will FINALLY rise from the grave! just as the prophecy fortold 🔮👀

Just coming back home from a hispter fleamarket where I live, in Copenhagen, and I found a Mano Kahler teapot in light green for 20 kr (about 3-4 euros) that is all curvy and v fun shaped!

Recently moved to AZ and the best part about it is its yard sale season year round!!

I once found a fully adjustable, new condition dress form for $3 at a community yard sale. Other than that, usually just clothes to upcycle.

I ran a yard sale a few years ago where the only advertising I did was put up signs around the neighborhood. The first person to show up marched over to me and yelled at me that I should have listed my sale on Facebook. So I was like, "well obviously you found us anyway." My other favorite comment was, "looks like you already sold all the good stuff." 😂 People can be so charming.

A use for cute clip on earings that may not be super comfy is as collar clips (on the points of shirt collars), sort of like dress clips, only on shirt/blouse collars. My daughter wears them that way. Vintage or unusual ones are super fun and interesting.

The brand Sans Trou makes a ton of cool clip on earrings.

Oh my god, based on an outfit I was wearing a lady ran into her home and brought me a whole bin of items. She said I had to have them and she was waiting on the perfect person to give them too. I was certain with the story she told me about them the stuff was haunted, but so far so good.

to piggy back on the "just say hi to the seller" i say casually talk to them like ask how they're doing, what sparked the garage/yard/whatever sale, etc. and it helps with negotiating for a deal sometimes! :D

100% Yes! To comfy line of clip earrings! I have a friend who I’m always looking for. She loves the classic sakuras, ginkgo leaves but also rabbits! I can only find anything close to what she likes when I Visit Hawaii. 😢

Yes that was me across the lake in Canada, waving at you! I broke my leg last year but still had to go to garage sales, on crutches. I saw one of those old lady walkers that was brand new ($400 retail) for $50. I thought it might be handy with my broken leg. When I asked how much I just said ok that is out of my budget thanks anyway. Then the lady came over from the house looked me over on my crutches and being all pathetic and all, and said "Here dear you can have it for $10 and I will put it in your car for you! score

When i was a kid i had a Nancy Drew phase but some of the books had been out of print for years. My mom just stumbled upon a yard sale where they were selling a bunch of Nancy Drew books including one i had a computer game of but had never read. It was glorious and I i felt like a historian with my "super old books".

I’ve been binging your videos so much that everything that was “cute” is now “tute”.

So many things to comment on! Proud of you for getting a sponsor! I would LOVE a clip on earring line! I have had my ears pierced many times and it never works out for me either. I loved the video btw!

Fancy neighborhoods DO throw a lot of really good treasures away on bulk trash day. Free fifty too. Bring gloves and disinfectant spray

That smiley face pendant necklace looks exactly like one I had when I was a kid! When I go to yard sales if I’m looking for something specific, I tend to go early, but I find that if you go late, sometimes people will just give you stuff because they just want it gone and don’t care about the money.

I found a singer 401a sewing machine in a mid century modern sewing table for $50 at a bougie yard sale by the water a few weeks ago. I know they're tough to find but the bougie neighborhood yard sales really ARE worth scouting out

10/10 would buy from your clip-on earring line! Also I hope you make more yard-saleing content, I swear you're the kind of person that even the most mundane errands would be a blast with. Random question, what mic is that?

love the silk top, love those pink translucent clip-ons, and LOVE the idea of a clip-on earring line! body rejection of piercings and the like is too real.

Hands down the best thing I ever found at a yard sale is a large commemorative coin for the wedding of Prince Charles and Princess Diana (on Long Island, no idea what it was doing there). I love pulling it out for coin flips and seeing people realize what it is after the flip

Very favorite yard sale sites: 1. church sales! 2. trailer park community sales. Always looking for the olders.

Okay, the fancy neighborhoods may not do yard sales BUT I have found some decent antique furniture just being thrown away several times, so it's worth a little side trip sometimes.

Here’s my tip: old timey soup serving dishes with lids make great cookie jars. They’re often extravagant and sculptural if you have the shelf space to display them and... have space for many and/or several kinds of cookies at once! (Actual cookie jars are often disappointingly small, methinks.) Just get one without a divet for the spoon so there isn’t a point of egress.

my gramma scored nearly $200 worth of high-quality scrapbooking paper for $25 a few years ago, and I have a pair of brass swan paperweights that are my pride and joy.

Sawy if that came off weird, I would like to see a range of styles that different types of people can enjoy wearing and I’m sure Kathleen would deliver😁

“Girls, I have a secret sailboat” as a stepmom of 3, I am going to use this… but honestly they wouldn’t bat an eye. They’re used to my odd sentences.

Exciting find at the local Thrift store… Dior & Hermes silk ties! Yep some people still wear ties, and if you don’t they would look great on a hand bag.

Bring a sewer's tape measure and know your clothing measurements (inseam, waist, hip, and chest)! I roll one up a cheap tailor's tape and keep it nearby, then if there's a piece of clothing I want then I can check the fit without trying it on.

When I was a kid, we would go to the cheap-looking neighborhoods when looking for clothes. You might be surprised how many people are willing to spend a lot of money on clothes when they can only afford to live in is a broken down trailer. Then when their kids grew out of their very nice clothes, we would buy them at their yard sale for .50 a shirt and .75 for a pair of pants. I really hope this didn’t come across as mean, this is just how we did things growing up; the cheap neighborhoods really did have the best stuff.

If I had a nickel for every time, I've just been given stuff at a garage sale because they liked my outfit. I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice. So, pro tip, wear a cute outfit.

Omg comfy clip on line yes! I can't wear earrings anymore so here for that

I have gone to the “Greatest Yard Sale Ever” (flex and video title) and it is on my channel from last year. It is wild and wonderful and I think of it often. It even beats many estate sales because of the love and creativity there.

3:56 oh 100%, if anything look for estate sales in tbise neighborhoods. It sounds bad to say but a lot of those individuals will leave their things behind either for medical reasons or due to a passing. You can also get really good deals because often times they're just trying to get rid of stuff

I scored a bunch of antique medicine paraphernalia for $5 that could have easily gone for $5-$25 per piece at an antique shop. I asked several times if they were sure about the price bc it felt like I was robbing them

Village wide rummage sale days are also very good. A ton of sales in one place!

The best ones are estate sales. I live near a school so most sales are 80% kids clothes and toys. With estate sales or moving sales it's more adult things, furniture, tools, etc. My neighbor retired from her home daycare and some of the kids came by with their parents to buy their favorite toys

You’re such a delightful oddball! I’m picking up all the nuance that you’re putting down, and I love it. I’m a fairly new thrift goblin, but I’m a veteran garage saler. New tips are always amazing!

Oh for the comfy clip-on earring line. My earlobes were always inflamed while I wore earrings. I‘m getting older now, so there is more lobe to cover and I‘d love, love some earrings for them.

12:14 reminds me of the necklace i just got at an old lady’s yard sale it’s a gold little clown with moveable feet and the cutest face, great find :)

I have yet to go to any yard sales here where I live, but I do love the thrift stores. One of my visits to a new one I recently went to I found several items. I found a Quo-silk blouse that was not tagged and when I asked how much, he first said $4.00 and because I was getting like 9 items, he gave it to me for $2.00. Win, win!

Look up and go to those citywide/community wide garage sale dates. Especially in small towns. Its worth the wait

I adore those playing cards 🥲💜

Obsessed with the smiley necklace! Such a good find! Also clip ons are a very fun idea but just jewelry made by you in general seems exciting!

my neighborhood actually has a weekend each year designated to garage sales, so maybe check out if yours does too or nearby neighborhoods as well :D

A CLIP ON EARRING LINE 🙌🏻❤️🙌🏻❤️🙌🏻 YES PLEASE!

The earrings and smiley face are perfect with your boiler suit. Elegant, eclectic craftwear! That silk blouse is the bomb!!!

lol making it rain in the front yard of your elderly neighbor. hahahaha

As If I didn’t already love you, hard relate on the clip-ons! I tried the Claire’s piercings a few times and they never took. I waited until my early 30s bc $$ to get my ears properly pierced at a tattoo place, so I was always looking for good clip-one. It was especially tragic bc ive ALWAYS been obsessed with earrings. I remember sitting in class in like 2nd grade just obsessively thinking about how earrings move and stimming lol and I still do

Okay, so I found my favorite violin for $50 at a yard sale. This thing sounds as good as my $2000 dollar violin, and has better projection and a more unique and darker tone imo. It was two years ago in June, and because the lake where I live has a yard sale weekend before big trash day (also, yard sales typically happen around the same time as big trash days, and sometimes people will just throw out furniture/furniture parts. It's pretty hit or miss, but it's still an experience) and it was the end of the Saturday, and i had made my way fully around the lake and was now at the neighborhood closest to mine. I pulled up to a couple guys selling stuff out of their garage/workshop, and looked around. Pretty standard stuff for the looks of the place, i.e. fishing gear/tackle, hand tools, old power tools, etc. And then I see a violin case on the ground. And I look around, and then at these guys. Neither of them play the fiddle. My money was on it being a toolbox, especially with the think layer of garage dust (and sawdust). One of the guys sees me noticing it, and says "oh, that's a fiddle, you interested?" Well, that's one way to get a fiddler interested in something. So I open the case. There is indeed a fiddle. It is missing all but one string, but it doesn't have any real cracks in the body, and any other damage is superficial. And I pluck the one remaining string. And it *rings*. That was one of the most magical moments of my life. Anyway, I love it. It's such a good instrument. And it is why I'm never skipping yardsale weekends if I can help it.

I'm always so excited to see a new video of yours!

Yesss, please release a clip on earring line!! My ear holes were stretched out a bit when I was 21 bc I decided to get size 0 gauges. Which I liked but lasted for a little while cuz I missed wearing pretty earrings. My ear holes have pretty much gone back to normal at this point but for obvious reasons my ear holes don’t look the same when I put on earrings, especially heavier ones. Then there was the struggle with regular earrings because every time I would greet a friend with a hug, the earring would stab me in the back of the ear. So painful😵‍💫 I’ve opted for inset and hidden clasp earrings at this point. This is a long ass paragraph lol but I just have to say that as soon as you mentioned clip on’s; my mind brought me back to when I used to try on my mom’s pretty clip on collection😊 I love this idea Kathleen, and would love to see what you come up with!!

My partner and I were just talking about how we've both been taught Euchre many times but always forget how to play! There's something about that game... 😂

I remember the worst yard sale I ever went to was this one that was mostly selling super cheaply made garbage. I was the only one there so it was extremely awkward, so I found a single shirt that wasn’t even that nice and when I went to buy it the woman said, oh is this really all you’re going to get?? Like ma’am this is trash, I’m doing this to avoid an awkward situation but here we are.

When you started talking about piercings I knew we were soul sisters.

Your videos are such a vibe! I love watching your videos. You have so many good tips :))

There’s an event here every August called Bargain’s Galore on 64 that’s 160 miles of yard sales along Hwy 64 in Arkansas, my wife and I are going to do it this year and I’m so stupid excited I can’t even express it!

I've now officially watched every single one of your videos. Is it weird that I'm sad to be caught up? Also, is it weird that I've only been to one yard sale in my whole 45 years of life? What's wrong with me? It was technically a barn sale...but same thing. OH MY GOSH!!!! My family gets so irritated with me over the fact that they've tried to teach me euchre so many times and I never can seem to catch on, and just have no interest in it. They play for hours and hours. My sister even goes to euchre tournaments. Nope, I'm good. Wanna play Skip Bo, Phase 10, Rummy? I'm totally down for that. LOVE that necklace! That boiler suit is beyond awesome.

I have the same problem with earrings! No matter what metal, how many karats, etc my ears just hate them and reject them. I have found that you can buy little doodads to put on normal earrings and convert them to clip-ons but I haven't bought any. That's an option though!
