5 THRIFT STORES IN ONE DAY! | Goodwill Thrift with Me + Vintage Haul

So that was an amazing cart filling stop. Good morning everybody. Welcome to another Goodwill shopping day. I plan to hit up several stores today starting with the best and biggest one in Portland. So let's see what we get. So let's see if I can actually pick a cart that doesn't rattle like crazy today. Oh smooth glider. Usually I'm the noisy one in the store. This ashtray is very pretty like the cobalt blue. It's eight dollars. I probably could shine up the silver on it. So two gorgeous pieces right next to each other. This server eight dollars. I've never really picked up a piece like this so I gotta look it up. And then this see if it's handmade or if it's yeah it is again eight dollars. Is that the price today? Eight dollars. We're just going to put everything we see and like in the cart. I got this in the art aisle. Not much else in the art aisle. It is only $3.99. It is definitely an original. Kind of a strange piece. And then picture frames have been selling a ton and I thought I would start trying to pick up more silver tone ones too and see how they do. As much as ducks are in I have such a hard time picking them up. They're just a little too country for me. So I guess I'll leave them behind for that country girly. I got excited about this piece but it's broken here which is such a bummer. Oh my gosh this is insanely cute. At first I was like oh this is an interesting piece thinking it was like a weird vase but no it's a wine glass that someone turned over and turned into a penguin. That is hysterical. Now this is a very interesting mug. Love the colors. $1.99. Okay I think I'm gonna get it. A cute little cat box for seven. Yikes okay that is steep. Too bad I didn't see this little dish before Valentine's Day. $1.99. A very cute tea trivet. I drink a lot of tea so this is coming home. Holy cow in the basket aisle I just found a crane. Oh but his wing is broken. That's why he's still here. What a bummer. He's still priced at $9.99. Lots of cute little carved animals. I'll be passing on all of them most likely. Yeah he's missing his tusks. Well in case anyone needs a reminder today. This is a cool mid-century tray. I don't know much about these. Oh it's made in Japan. Seven dollars. I need to look it up. Someone certainly went to town on this. I'm not sure what they did to it made it look better. This is a really pretty vase. $2.99. It's a matte finish which I don't like the texture of but I also have texture issues. I can't touch certain things, certain surfaces. This one's really pretty. So I'm going through the end caps right now and I found this adorable painted elephant for $1.99. Very folk art to me. And then this really pretty bowl with the blue splotches. Although that probably doesn't make sound that pretty. I'm using the term splotches. And then this giant ceramic mug like beer stein. So I need to check it over for any chips and stuff because lately I have been missing chips and cracks and it's been just making me so mad because I get it home and I realize and then I can't sell it. Another cobalt blue glass piece. So they're $2.99 each. I looked them up and the comps are pretty good. So assuming no chips on all of them I'm gonna grab them. So I literally just grabbed this out of one of the worker's hands. They went to restock it. I'm like I want that. So $3.99. Here's a cute mug. We have a lot of vegans in this town. It is $3.99. Okay I'm gonna get it. And behind it was another mug for vegans. $3.99. Love the butter yellow. And another really cool mug. This is a colonial Williamsburg mug according to Google. $3.99 which seems a little steep for it because most of the comps I think were around $15. But that was online so maybe in my booth I can get a little bit more like $18. Well guys the cart is filling up which feels very good. Another handmade vase that is really pretty. Love the texture and the pattern on top. Has some gunk there. Looks like glue. So is it broken or just gross? I don't know. $5. So I just pulled this lighthouse painting off the shelf. I think it's really nicely done. It has that big scratch. I feel like I would need to go in and repair it because it's so prominent. Which I don't mind repairing art actually. I do that all the time. It is let's see how much is it. $8. The price of today's trip. So I guess I'll put in the card and just decide later. A brown piece of pottery I'm so tempted to pick up but every time I do it just doesn't sell. But this one feels special so now I don't know. This is what is going on in my head. $3. So the price is good. And then right here are some pretty cool bowls. $7.99. I like the pattern. The colors are very I don't know they're kind of giving me Christmas because of the green and the red but that might just be me. So if there's one thing that makes me lose my mind out thrifting it's this situation where it's $7 for a ruined Pyrex bowl. It's just insane. This is adorable for napkins. I think it might be handmade. It's $3.99 which is more than I'd probably want to spend on it because it's not worth a ton but the colors are really cheerful. This little fish friend is so cute. I think it might be handmade. It's $4.99 but it has some chips at the top and it's not just where they're glazing it here it's actually like chips so that's a bummer. So this set of spoons they're so beautiful but there's no way you can use them and not bust them up. It's just impossible. Just pulled this little broom off of a new cart. It is $2.99. So I looked a little bit closer at this painting and noticed that there's a barcode on the bottom. So I actually think it's a print although it looks so textural it definitely fooled me. So let's go back on the shelf. I found this very interesting wooden spoon scoop thing $4.99 and this really cute painted organizer but I realized on the side it's in kind of bad condition. So I've always wanted one of these screens and usually they're plastic and in terrible shape but this one is really solid and it has like shell there and it's hand painted and it is 10. Okay this is coming home. So I'm going through my cart and I think I'm getting most things. The only things I'm on the fence about are this frame because I realized it's $4.99 and I don't mark them up that high so I'll probably pass on this. And I don't love this mid-century tray but the comps are decent although I don't know if this looks chewed up. So I gotta give this a once over again and then the ladle. It looks really cool. I love the handle. It's $4.99 so it's not that bad. I'm most excited about this folding screen. So this is why you go down every aisle because I'm in the book area and someone went through their cart in this section similar to what I'm going to do. I usually come to the book aisle to go through my cart and stage it and organize it for photos. And there's this beautiful bowl here and some looks like brass and copper metal trivets. Okay so I restaged my cart so it's now pretty for the cart shot for my thumbnail. And I do this every time because usually it's a hot mess and then I kind of arrange it to where it looks somewhat presentable. But today's finds are really lovely. So that was an amazing stop and I got not just one box but two boxes of stuff which is awesome. So excited. Some of the stuff will go to Etsy. Some of it will actually go to my booth. I'm actually going to head to my booth quickly to grab some things that you guys wanted from my last haul that I did not list on Etsy first. I took it straight to Tiny Brambles. So I'm going to go grab those pieces, probably drop some of these pieces and then we're going to head out to more thrift stores. So more stops coming your way. While I'm here I thought I would show you guys my booth and I need to come in and do a little bit of a reset. But just dropped a few items off, hung some more art, just moved some stuff around. Here are my picture frames that I'm selling. I have a few here and just dotted around. I wanted to show you guys my bar bookcase. This is the one that's selling stuff for me all the time which has been great. I just dropped these. Very cool. Let's try my goblets off. But I sell pairs and bigger sets. So don't ever leave a pair behind if they're really cool. And then this little sign people want to buy very badly. But I feel like this brands this shelf. So this was a underperformer for me for so long and now it actually is selling stuff. Okay so we're back in the car. I did a quick drop. I grabbed those items that some of you wanted from my last haul video. So we're heading to the next Goodwills. Walking into Goodwills stop number two. Oh my goodness I can't even over this rock. I mean this is just a basic rock from like a parking lot. $1.99. So these emojis are adorable. They are ridiculous. Do I need these? No. Do I want them? Yes. I could turn them into cute little like magnets. I don't need that project but oh man am I gonna be able to say no to these? Then above them is this really pretty bowl. I feel like I find a lot of LT Pottery. I need to figure out who that person is. Colors are nice. It is $1.99. A strange textural bowl. Kind of looks like bark on a tree. Don't love it and it's $6.99. So I think it was my friend Laura who kept finding these glass boots everywhere. So this candle holder is really good. Looks handmade. Oh yeah handcrafted by Byron in Maine. Well thank you Byron for this very cool piece. It is $6.99. This is an absolute yes. This piece is very interesting. It has the pen holder here and this flap here although I don't know why this top part is so big. It seems to mean well it has some cracks. $4.99. Not sure about that big one on top. It's a very cool piece though and next to it are these adorable hand-painted spoons. They are $1.99. This is a giant handmade vase. Let's see how much it is. It is $7.99. I have a hard time selling really big pieces like this unless they are from someone that is well known. So I'll probably leave it behind which is gonna kill me because the price is pretty good. And above that pot are these cool plates. They're fantastic and really well made. I don't know what the market is for something like this. So this little cross stitch is kind of cute. It's $1.99. Not really my vibe but I do really like the message. So I just grabbed these shirts off the rack as I was walking by. Not for me but to put in my booth. I feel like they have that like grandma tablecloth like granny blanket type of vibe. They're really well made. They don't have any sort of tag on them so I'm wondering like oh did someone like make these versus them be available at a store. So I don't know but I may take a chance on them. Walking into Goodwill Stop number three. A lot of pottery pieces that are interesting but not quite good enough. Like this mug is adorable but it's very heavy. It was made by Parker Price. Good try Parker Price. I do like your texture. You did a great job on texture. And this pitcher is very cute but also extremely heavy and chunky and I don't think you'd want to put any liquids in that. Now this ceramic piece is fascinating. It looks like Mount St. Helens, the big volcano that erupted in the 80s in Washington just right over the border. Wow. I don't know. Do people want this? Like is this something someone would want? It's $10. Very interesting. Okay I gotta open it up and see what's lurking underneath this wood. Sadly it has a big old chip right here when I turned it around so passing on it. This is a fascinating tray. Can't tell if those are real flowers under the resin. I think they are but it has some like flaws so it's a pass but if it was in really good condition I might consider it. I've sold this statue but much smaller and it's solid wood but it's $20. So that's a pass. This is really cute. $1.99. I would need to add like a hanging mechanism. I don't know if the wood is just too honey colored orange. I feel like the colors are just off a little bit. So you guys know I sell a lot of glasses holders and this is the first time I found a dog. Look at how cute it is. $6.99. This face is nicely made but pretty gross so that's a pass. This dog is so adorable. Dorothy 1978. So I was excited about this for a second thinking I found some sort of like cool like tiger but I think someone forgot to finish it and then I thought oh could I finish it? Which I know you're probably laughing because we know I do not finish DIY projects but I don't even know where the head's supposed to be on it. I feel like it's missing probably somewhere here but I am just like not figuring it out. So just a small haul of things but I was looking at other people's carts and some people got some good stuff so I'm wildly jealous. So I just did not get here at the right time. Some like wood boxes and some brass stuff and some pottery. I was like oh man. Only I was here a few minutes before but that's how it goes. Walking into the next thrift store. We're going into Value Village. Always have a coupon. So 20% off. I think my friend Taylor may have hit this up although today. So we'll see what we get. This Buddha is incredible. It is $14.99 so the price is not incredible but it's very solid. So I know these are vintage but I have a hard time buying them because they're plastic and I feel like they just look so cheap. So I think that's a pass on this. There's a matching like wall um like planter thing too. Again plastic. It just feels a little cheap. So I think this must be a candle holder like that's why they cut this out there but it looks like a very cool piece of wood that yeah it's handmade. $4.99. I was so excited about this but it's kind of green. What is all that? I don't know if it can be cleaned. It's $3.99. Okay let's see if I can scrape some of this mystery gunk off. Well good news. It does come off but now it's on my fingernail. This business is gross. This handmade vase is really well made and so pretty. It's definitely giving me like Laura Ashley vibes. Just found this adorable little ceramic swan. $5.49. So steep. This wood frame is adorable. It's definitely old. Like the painted flowers would match that vase. And speaking of frames, just found this wood one. Really great finish on it. I am super into shells right now so I'm very tempted to pick this up. I do not know what is going on but all of a sudden I want everything shell. So I'm doing my trick where I am too lazy to go get a cart so I find a basket in the basket aisle and just put all my stuff in it. This fish flask makes me want to become a drinker because it's so cute. It's $2.49 but I don't really need it. This shaker is absolutely giant and the holes are really big. So what do you use this for? Like parmesan cheese? Sugar? Like I don't know. When I first saw this mug I was like this is an absolute yes and then I saw the price and I'm like now it's an absolute no. Which is such a shame. It's so fun but it's definitely someone's like school project. Another cute swan but this one is plastic. I really want this little painted box. The dinosaur box. But I don't necessarily want all the rest of the stuff and this is the problem with the bag aisle. I never want anything else in the bag. It looks like someone else may have wanted this box too and not the rest of it. This ceramic vase is very cool. Make a great utensil holder. But sadly I'm realizing it's missing a lid. That's why this like lip is here to rust a lid on. So that's a bummer. But also the price is a little high. Mom's secret stash of what? Drugs? Like what is she putting in here? Oh I guess coins. Well that's not gonna get her very far. This box is really well made but it has a bunch of black dots all over it. Which I don't know if you can get out. I don't know if it's surface level or if it goes deeper. So sadly I think I'm gonna pass. Walking into the last goodwill stop of the This is a pretty handmade plate or platter. I like the ginkgo leaf. It is ten dollars. Okay maybe a little more than I'd want to spend. There's this little guy. Oh another cute folk art hand-painted spoon. Love this one. So much pottery today. This piece is okay. It's only $1.99. That is cheese. This one I almost cut myself on that. I love the glaze on this but sadly that is a deal breaker. This is a wild vase with the coils. I turned it over. It's $12.99 so a little outside what I would like to spend. You guys this wild thing is an actual candle. Looks like a bullet. I have never seen anything like this before. So I don't know if this is an actual bowl or if it's a lid to something because it has patterns on both sides. Unfortunately a lot of flaking away there. That's a bummer. This stinky man is pretty cool. It's $4.99. I like the kind of blonde tone in the back. That's a nice surprise. I'm gonna get this guy. I wish this picture frame was darker. There's two of them and they're in really good shape but I just don't love the blonde wood. What do you suppose this is? At first I was like this is a chunky frame. I think it might just be like a wood dish. These are very cute. They have roosters and little people on them. Love them. I looked them up and they are Libby like juice glasses and the cuts are okay especially for them being a dollar each. So I may get a set. So I'm realizing as I'm going through them all that a lot of the gold has rubbed away on them. You can see which is a bummer because this one is like in really great shape but the rest have a lot of fading. Well you can always rely on the thrift store to hit you with something profound and thought-provoking in their art section. Now I know I'm not supposed to be in the lamp aisle because I hate selling lamps but I kind of like this one. It has an interesting mix of materials like the wood and the metal and then this really white glass shade. I was heading up to the register and saw this on top of the bookshelf. It's the most adorable stuffer for $4.99 enamel. So very excited about this. You guys it's nearly 4 p.m and I have not eaten lunch which is I think the reason why I bought this lamp. I've like lost my mind. You guys know I hate buying lamps and selling lamps but I just really liked it and I'm hungry. This is why you need to bring more food when you're out for the entire day. So I mean it's a great lamp. I don't know if I'm going to keep lamp. I love lamp but I need to get some food in me right away. So we're back home in my studio space and I actually have a pretty big haul of stuff to show you that you did not just see on footage. So sometimes I go out sourcing and I don't bring you guys along with me. So we're going to kick things off with some stuff that I picked up at the PDX Estate Marketplace. It's a huge marketplace event that happens once a month in our area. It's 20,000 square feet of estate sale goodness. It's phenomenal. I got this amazing lidded canister. Loved the blue. I thought it was so good and then also like this ribbing detail. Very textural. So yeah definitely had to get it. So the one thing I love about the PDX Estate Marketplace is there's so many estates that come into that warehouse sale that you never know what you're going to find. This particular month was very strong. A lot of interesting and varied stuff. I don't pick up a lot of hand mirrors but this one so cool. I mean look at the shape and the point on top. I love that it was black at one point and this person whoever owned it before wore it away from use. Then it now is like this two-tone wood and black. I thought it was awesome. I'm going to try to show you the mirror part without like showing my entire messy studio space. So yeah there's my ceiling. But I thought it was a really good shape and I just thought it was very cool the way that it has the wood and the black. So this is on Etsy. A few other things that you're going to see right now are already on Etsy but I just love shopping at that market sale because there's so many interesting things. I got a lot of candles. Tons of candles. You guys know I'm a candle hoarder. If you're new here you may not have seen my epic candle drawer and I will show you some footage of that right now on the screen. So you can see I love the slim size candles. You don't find them very often. I anytime I see them in white I definitely pick them up because I use them a lot in styling and I also burn them in my house actually. The slims are the ones that I actually do burn alongside the tapers. So the tapers are the most common and the most useful and then after that I find the most use out of these slims. Never found purple or lavender before and then also this really cool like chartreuse color. I just thought they were really great and then I also got a ton of Danish tapers as well and this is the color I find most often. I have not found blue before. So yeah really excited about all my candle purchases. I'm definitely a candle hoarder. I just cannot turn down a candle especially a twist like this. So a couple more things I got at the marketplace. I got this beautiful floral painting and I actually thought that this was like a print because it's so well done but no it's actually painted. It's not a print. It was actually someone's painting. It's just perfect and the sheen on it is perfect. It has a mate that I actually already sold. It's this one already sold. So I actually listed these at the same time. So just one thing to keep in mind about my Etsy shop is I try to time most of what I drop on Etsy to the timing of the video when the videos go live but sometimes I don't know if I'm going to showcase something so I will just list it on Etsy and then you guys don't know about it. So if you are not following my Etsy shop it may be worth like hitting that like follow or favorite button. I can't remember what the button is and then you'll get like notified in your notifications when you go into Etsy if I have listed anything new because sometimes stuff comes up and people are like wait when did you when did you haul that? I'm like well I didn't quite haul it yet. I just happened to get it up at the same time I got other things up. So just FYI I do list on Etsy throughout the week and it's not always tied to a YouTube video drop. So just as a FYI. So I love folk art animals like the painted wood ones and these I thought were so cute so I had to get them. The colors are so good. The problem is this guy has had several repairs and it's very subtle but I totally missed it when I was buying them. It has a repair on his tail, his leg, his other front leg. This has been happening to me lately. I've been picking up mugs and other things and I have not noticed the like repairs or damage and it just because in certain things it doesn't reduce the value of the item but in other things it does significantly reduce the value of the piece especially when you pay up for something like I did pay up for this and it had these flaws and I was already starting at a higher price point so that was a bummer. I mean that just happens. That just happens. You keep track of it for your business but check those pieces over everybody. Check your pieces over like like spend the time because I have feel like I have been so like rushed going in and out and being excited in the moment and then totally missing things and it's just been so gutting when I get home. So this may end up having to be for me or I'm gonna have to sell it for probably less than I got it for which is such a bummer. So I don't pick up a lot of copper pieces but I love this one because it has the most perfect patina and I also really like the little feet. So just a really beautiful piece. This is on Etsy. I'm always looking for copper pieces. I just never see any that just really like grab me and sometimes they can be so overpriced. So overpriced. It's like always wild to me how expensive copper is especially compared to brass and I have much better luck selling brass for higher price points than copper but this piece I thought was worth picking up. So you guys know about most of my collections but I have a very large collection of easels like art easels which are not that exciting of a collection to show you but I dig it to really interesting good ones and the PDX Estate Marketplace where I got these at I have gotten many a good and interesting easels from. So this one I thought was awesome. It's cast iron. Very pointing. Very cool. And then this one I absolutely adore because it's just so like minimalist and again it's metal. It's just I love how it has like this loop and it doesn't have a support bar. It's just like rust right here. Anyways when you're a vintage reseller who sells a lot of art having a variety of easels is fantastic because then you have a bunch of different ways that you can style your art for your photos and then also I use them around my home on occasion too because I always am displaying artwork you know because of the season and so it's nice to have some that are more simple some that are more ornate and just all the varieties. So I recommend if you find cool easels like this definitely pick them up because they really make your art displaying that much more special. So at Curiosities where I have one of my vintage booths there is this like new event space that's connected to the mall and they have monthly vintage markets and other events and so I got a few really great pieces at the most recent like flea market event and this event is still very much under the radar and I wish more people knew about it because the selection is really good. I mean on the one hand I don't wish more people knew about it because that means they're competing with me for the good stuff but on the other hand it's really important for the success of the mall and the success of the vendors that people know it's worth going to. I think a lot of people think that the dealers at Curiosities are allowed to pre-shop any event that happens in this like flex space but we don't. We don't get to pre-shop it. Unfortunately I wish we could but I know that's not fair and so they do not allow any pre-shopping so you are going to get the good stuff at the same time the rest of us are standing in line getting the good stuff. So next one that's coming up next month you definitely should go to because you got some good stuff and I'll show you an example of some of the stuff I got at this last one. So I got this amazing original painting only four dollars. Now these next paintings I already sold on Etsy when I like stealthily uploaded them. Like this amazing painting I think I paid 20 bucks for it. It's from 1900 literally that is the date on it. I got this very cool one I think this was 15 and then I think this was only 10 and I'm trying to think if there was another I thought I got one more painting but anyways the deals were good. I got this adorable little pillow this was five. I got another needlepoint pillow that I sold that I already stealthily uploaded to Etsy that I got only for six dollars. So it's definitely worth going to that it happens every month and then they have like special ones in addition to that that happen. So if you're in the area mark your calendar and make sure you're checking the Flux Event Center like calendar because there's so many good vintage markets there and you can get some really good deals on some fantastic stuff like the art I showed you. And then one really exciting vendor at this market I want to talk about is the guy that brings all of the cool costume jewelry. So I got a ton of these mid-century retro enamel like brooches and I've always wanted a collection of these to put in a frame as art because I always thought it was very cool. But these are usually so wildly expensive you have even at like estate sales but these were only two dollars each which was crazy and then also some other fun brooches that I picked up. Brooches are extremely hot right now I am selling them in my booth. They don't sell for like a ton but usually like 15 is like the minimum I sell them for and they go up from there like this one very cool brass this was only four dollars. So really exciting I got this awesome brass pendant for only three dollars. So none of this is like super super valuable you're not going to make a ton of money on it but it's something that you know will help you pay your rent and definitely take advantage of the season we're in right now where everybody especially like the younger generations are loving brooches just absolutely loving brooches and I feel like those you can find at thrift stores no problem for super cheap and they're paying you know up for them if they're really cool. So yeah I was very excited about that haul of like costume jewelry. So you guys know my son is getting into reselling a little bit and so he was recently gifted ten dollars to put towards his reselling business which was so sweet and he was so excited about that and so this is the item he picked out to sell with his ten dollars. So I wanted to show the person because I think you're probably watching I wanted to show you this is what he picked up to sell and thank you again so much for your generous gift and supporting his little entrepreneurial business. He was so excited and he is asking me every day if this is sold. I'm like mama just is gonna list it. So that's the problem with him with this business he thinks okay we got it now who's buying it it's like well there's a lot that goes into it so I always have to remind him the process of being a reseller is not just buying because that's what a lot of people think reselling is just the buying but reselling is all the other stuff. So anyways this is on Etsy this is my son's it's just very cute to see what he gets excited about to sell for his little entrepreneurial business. So the final two things I want to show you are actually styled on my bookshelf so we're going to cut to that footage. I've started a new collection thankfully it's growing very slow because I can grow a collection so quickly because I'm outsourcing so much and then I have so many people like you guys that are looking for the items for my collections and so it just like it can grow so quick which is really exciting but I also I'm like oh it's just so hard to keep like a lid on it and let it just grow organically because I definitely can't just like this the collection can just like just take off. So anyways very excited about this collection and hoping to grow it slowly. I wanted to show you all the two shell things I picked up in the same weekend so I got this beautiful Krull absolutely love it and this giant shell the sucker is huge. I do not know what is happening to me I all of a sudden want everything shell and so these two pieces came into my life in the same weekend. I decided just to use a little like push pin and put it on the front of my bookcases. I do love when art is hung on the front of a bookcase I think it's really unexpected and cool. Now admittedly this is pretty small for how big this bookcase is but it brings me joy so I put it there anyways. So that is all I have to share with you today thank you so much for watching. Anything that's going to be available on Etsy is usually linked down below in the description. Thanks again for watching and I can't wait to see you in my next thrifting and decorating video. Take care!
