Let's Thrift For VINTAGE! THRIFT WITH ME & THRIFT HAUL | Goodwill Thrifting Home Decor

Hello everyone, welcome back. This morning I am headed out to a vintage market. Well Garrett and I both are. I'm making him come with me even though these are not his favorite things to attend. But I'm pretty sure it's the same market that I went to last year and I had shared a video of me shopping it and I ended up finding quite a few antiques for really good prices. So I'm hopeful that today will be just as successful and there will be lots of good things for me to share with y'all. So we're about to head out now but first I want to talk about today's video sponsor Craftsy. If you love learning new creative skills or you're just figuring it out as you go like myself, Craftsy is your online resource for all things creative. It's an online community made for creative makers with over 2,000 classes you can take at your own pace. So I mentioned recently that I got a new sewing machine and instead of feeling really overwhelmed by starting my first project, I went ahead and watched a sewing class on Craftsy that walked me through everything step by step. So being able to pause, rewind, and follow along slowly made me feel so much more confident actually sitting down to use it on my own. They offer tons of classes not just sewing, you can also do quilting, knitting and crocheting, painting and drawing, cooking, baking, and even cake decorating. And it's all taught by talented friendly experts who explain each technique clearly. So you're not just sitting there watching videos, you're learning, creating, and able to connect with other makers to share ideas and stay inspired. And they're also always adding new classes so there's always going to be something new to explore. So if you'd like to join Craftsy, the first 1,000 people to use the link in my description can get a full year of Craftsy premium for just $1.49 and this offer is valid for new members only. You can also scan the QR code here on the screen or again use the link down below in my description. Alright y'all, let's head out to this vintage market and hopefully we can find some good things. Alright y'all, so this is definitely not the same market that I attended last year. It ended up being much smaller so we're also going to go thrifting after this but let's play a game. We've done this before, let's not focus on the prices because this is a vintage vendor's market. We're just going to pretend we have no budget and build our imaginary carts. So y'all let me know what items, if any, that you can't live without. I saw tons of things I would have purchased if I was a rich lady. This girl's booth had a lot of nice stuff but some of it wasn't for sale. So I had asked her how much one of her books were and she said some things were display only. So I'll show you here in a second but she had a shelf or two filled with items that were, I guess, for display only and I just found that a little strange. This lampshade was only $10 which is a great deal because it was real wicker, not that plastic kind, but I think it was too light for me. I don't think it would go well with my dark furniture. And here's one of her shelves that had mostly display items on it. I don't know. I was just a little confused by that but each to their own. Loved this wicker purse. It was $35. That's going in the imaginary cart. I would have absolutely purchased these if I were a rich lady. $200 for the pair? Yes, please. So this guy has a booth at our local antique store and I recognized his things immediately because every time I go I think, wow, this guy gets me. But he had said that his prices weren't accurate because they were coming over from the antique store so I had thought about inquiring on the Brass Bunnies but changed my mind. But this $12 brash seashell going in the cart. Tell me these are not the most adorable ducks you've ever seen. I will take all three. This purse did not have a price on it so that usually tells me it is out of my budget. I loved these sconces. I love the faux patina and fancy bows. I'm always intrigued by these types of mystery bags but those were very lightweight. I don't know. I feel like $10 is a lot to spend on something that I might hate but y'all have to let me know if you've ever purchased a mystery bag and was it worth it. Loved the fabric on this Kleenex box but now that I have a sewing machine I think I'm gonna try to make my own. Okay, now we're at a real thrift store and they have fairly decent prices here. I'm hunting for, well, spring decor. I'm always hunting for that right now but also anything I can just make over and sew. And y'all, I think this was a watercolor rooster with like a poem but I honestly can't tell because he looks a little strange. Like where is his head? Found this cool wooden cane that seems like it might be vintage but y'all know I have so many canes I really do not need another unless it has like an animal head or something. This is an oil painting on slate I think and it reminded me that my mom had one like it. However, it was a painting of the Emmett Kelly clown and all my friends were terrified of it. I honestly don't know if I've told that story before I might have but I'm not sure why she loved those clowns so much. They had a couple of pretty terrines here. This larger one was 40 I guess because it had all of the pieces and because of its size but this little one was only five dollars which I think is much cuter. Here's some pretty Avon pieces. I love this deep purple flower. All right y'all, it is the next day obviously. It is so dark and rainy and it's cold outside again but of course I have a haul to share with you from the market and the thrift store. Y'all, I saw this old mirror. I had to have it. The price tag was $30 but honestly I feel like that was kind of fair for how beautiful it is. It definitely seems older and I am a sucker for mirrors especially with this type of frame. I don't know if it's called something but I love this like old carved wood fancy looking frame with like the faded gold. I just love it. I love it so much. Okay, look at this next thing we picked up at the market. How adorable is this little um what do you call this? Like a stuffed duck? Like a stuffed animal duck. It was only ten dollars and it's actually a gift for my sister-in-law, Garrett's sister. She's about to give birth this month and the nursery is done in this kind of like green and duck themed thing. She loves vintage duck things so we already sent her picture and she loves it and I just think it's so so cute. There was actually two more in different sizes and I wish I had got one for myself even though I have where am I going to put this, you know? Alright, let me show you some fun things that I found at the thrift store. This is the remnant of a king sham pillowcase. It was one dollar and I just really loved the colors and the floral like print on here and I immediately knew that I wanted to try to make a pillow cover with it and y'all look. I made my very first envelope style pillow cover. Well, not my very first. I did do like a rough draft with scrap fabric so I could learn what to do and it is not good. The seams are crooked but once the pillow's in there you can't really tell and I just think it's gorgeous. I think I want to put it back here on the chair when I decorate for spring. Hopefully my next video will do some just straight spring decorating but anyways isn't this such a beautiful print? I love the pink flowers which I've been trying to incorporate in my spring decor and I love it. I think it's perfect. Okay, so I did get another cane. I just really liked this one because of all the age or not age but you know the wood is worn down and I really like that like where someone has been holding it. It was only two dollars. Who cares? I'm gonna put it in my hall tree with the rest and this one's shorter too so a lot of the ones that I have are kind of the same height so this will add a varying height so really I needed it. Anyways, moving on. This plate was also a dollar. I thought this would look beautiful under a plant or a pot in the summertime when I like to use these colors. I don't, this has no markings. I don't know anything about it. I did google lens it and there were some that came up that were like hundreds of dollars but I don't think, I think this is just a reproduction. It's very pretty though. I love the kind of scalloped pointy edges like a flower. Alright, hopefully y'all are proud of me for this but I got my first piece of, this is whole pottery, whole art. I see this, these all the time in antique stores and stuff and I do like them. I just, I don't think it's something that I'm going to collect a bunch of but I think this is really nice to add to my spring decor and guess what? It was only five dollars because it has a chip here and maybe a little chip here but I don't care. I think it's so cute. You know, we like it chippy in this household so I think I might try to style it in my cabinet. I'm not fully done decorating that but when I am, you'll see where this ends up. Okay and then the last item that I found at the thrift store is this beautiful table cloth. It has the most gorgeous flowers on here. They're like a darker rose red and then I love the mix of green and blue and they're just like really toned down colors. I am taking a risk with this being a white tablecloth because things get pretty messy around here but it was only two dollars. We can always throw her in some oxyclean but I plan to use this during the summertime with some curtains if I can get a hold of them that are kind of this blue color here. So I told y'all I'm decor crazy and I'm already thinking about summer decorating. Anyways, we're getting way ahead. Okay y'all, that's going to be it for today's video. If you enjoyed it, please give it a thumbs up, subscribe, and I will talk to y'all in my next one. Bye!
