I Found My BEST Thrift Find Ever! | Antique Shop Treasure + Cozy Home Decor Haul | Robin Lane Lowe

Hey friends, welcome back to my channel. I'm Robin. If you happen to be new today, today is all about thrift shopping. We're gonna head into one of our local antique shops, Amazing Grace, and this is my lunch hour that we're gonna go in and film on. So today we'll be at Amazing Grace and then tomorrow we'll head over to Heritage Antiques, see what all we can find. I'm on the prowl for some summer decor. I love some new blue and white pieces for my living room and maybe a few more strawberry pieces for my kitchen. So I'm so glad you're here today. Let's go inside and see what we can find today. I wanted to show you guys the outside of Amazing Grace. It's adorable and also this little garage that you see here, it's also full of just old dressers and beds and things like that. So this place is a really nice place. Now let me know in the comment section when I'm doing my thrifting videos, do you guys want me to talk as I'm showing the decor? Do you want me just to kind of let you look around, not say anything, and just add some calming music? I'd love to know in the comment section how you like to watch a thrifting video. I actually like someone not to talk and just show me all the stuff that's in the store. I have a beautiful kitchen hutch that I've had for about three or four years now, but I've just come to realize that it really is big. It takes up a lot of room in the dining room, and so this little hutch here is adorable. If I was to replace that bigger hutch for a smaller hutch, I would definitely go with this style. I could see me just maybe sanding that down for just a natural wood color and possibly adding some new hardware to it. I think it would be beautiful in the kitchen. However, it's just a thought. I haven't made that decision yet. My son and daughter-in-law are about to build a new home, so if she is interested in that hutch at all, that would give me an opportunity to buy just a smaller hutch for the kitchen. Okay, I have several friends that have booths here at Amazing Grace. However, today I only had time to go through two of them, so we're gonna start with Kelly's booth. She always has the most unique, precious items. You guys know I'm a floral girl through and through, and I can usually always find something in this booth, and spoiler alert, I did not take anything home from Kelly's booth today, but as you can see here, she had so many sweet items out on display. I so loved both of these watering cans. They would look so good on the front porch. Okay, now we're gonna go through Angela's booth, and again, I found some more floral items, and she had the cutest patriotic decor. I don't decorate for Fourth of July, but I do like some subtle touches, like these little pillows look really cute on the front porch or on the little table as you walk in my home, on the couch, in a recliner, so I did love those little pillows. And right before I left y'all, I went down an aisle that I was not gonna go down. I was really running out of time, and gosh, am I so glad I did, because look at all of the strawberry decor. I loved every bit of it. I thought this soup bowl was so unique. I've never seen anything like it. It was so pretty. They had a bunch of strawberry decor just right here bunched together. If they'd have had six of these little napkin holders, I would have probably brought these home today, but they only had four. There was just absolutely so much to choose from here in this little section, and all of it I really wanted to bring home. However, once I saw this one item, I was giggly. This cast-iron strawberry scale. Oh my gosh, y'all, I think I might have just said, wow, as soon as I saw it. I picked this little sucker up so quickly and ran right to the checkout counter. I was so, so happy to get this scale. Be sure to stay to the end of the video so that you can see where I put this beautiful strawberry scale in the kitchen. Okay, friends, it's day two of me thrift shopping on my lunch hour. Today, we're going into another one of my favorite local stores, and that is Heritage Antiques. So, let's go in and see what we can find. We are about to have our house painted and our back deck stained, so hopefully I'll be able to film a back porch summer makeover really soon. So, I wanted to see what they had outside before we moved inside. Just anything that might spruce up the back porch. I loved this rocking chair so much. If you remember, Maisie Grace also had a couple of pieces of this strawberry shortcake. This is called Chana. I love this so much. This pattern is absolutely adorable. I would love it if I had, like, some more glass cabinets in my kitchen to display more of this great stuff like this. I just don't have the room for it, but oh my gosh, I loved every piece in this collection. Okay, now we're gonna head upstairs and look around upstairs. My friend Glenna has a booth on the second floor, and I'll show you around her booth in just a second, but this place is so unique. It's so big. Every time I come here, I always see different things, and they're always moving things around, and I love that about this place. These green canisters right here are probably something that, if they're there, the next time I go back to Heritage Antiques, I will most likely pick them up. I love a great canister, especially when they look vintage and a little old, and these green canisters would look so, so good in my kitchen. Okay, so now we're gonna have a look around Glenna's booth. The one thing about living in a small town, you pretty much know everybody, and so I love it when I can go in a friend's booth and film for them and give them a little bit of PR on Facebook or YouTube, and Glenna is such a sweet friend, and she always has great little items to choose from. So let's look around her booth real quickly, and then we're gonna head home, do a little haul, and I'll show you what things I brought home with me today. Okay, so let's do a quick haul. As you saw in the footage, I did two different days of thrifting, and sometimes you can go in, or I can. I can go in and find nothing. Sometimes I can go in and find everything, so the thrill of the hunt is so fun, and of course I was looking for maybe some strawberry pieces to go in the kitchen and a couple more blue and white pieces to add to my little cottage Nancy Meyer living room that I'm about to decorate for you guys, and normally I do a lot of my thrifting on my lunch hours. We have several little places in our hometown you can just run into at lunch, and that's just my favorite thing to do on my lunch hour. It's very therapeutic to me. Again, even if I buy nothing, I just love to walk down the aisles, look at everything. It's so, so fun, so I did find a few things. Let's start with heritage antiques that I went to today. All that I found there was this adorable little ceramic kitty cat. Oh my goodness! If you're new today, I've become a cat mama. About a year ago, we had a little mama cat show up with some babies, and I think we've got like... Sorry guys, I had to stop for a second. Derek got home from work, but again, I was saying we became cat parents about a year ago, and this little adorable little blue and white cat is so cute. I thought the grandkids would enjoy this, and so when I saw her, I thought, you know what? She was really good on the coffee table, so I'm hoping to style her there. So, so cute. This is really the only blue and white item I found to go in the living room, so make sure you're subscribed so you won't miss out on my living room decorating video. And then over at Amazing Grace, the first time I went on my lunch hour, I found a jackpot item. Just a treasure, treasure, treasure that I am so thrilled. If you already follow me over on Instagram, you've already seen this, but if you don't, go over and follow me on Instagram. It's the same as my YouTube. It's Robin Lane Lowe. I'd love for us to follow each other over there. I put a lot more of my everyday, you know, the grandkids and Derek and all that, our everyday living over on Instagram. So, but let me show you a treasure. Well, first, let me just start with a little book I found first. Just a little thrifted book that I thought would look really good on the coffee table. It's so, so pretty. This little, I don't know what that little flower is called, but it's very pretty. I thought it was a great little coffee table book, and I got it for like $6. Really pretty insides of just different flowers and the meaning of them. Look how pretty that is. I just love a good thrifted book. Okay, so what I really wanted to show you guys was this beautiful cast iron strawberry scale. Oh my goodness, how gorgeous is she? I'll do some footage, but hopefully I want to style this on my hutch for summertime. So gorgeous. Can't even see the details, but isn't she a beauty? Again, cast iron. Here's the back of her. It's funny. In my footage, I was just about to leave, and there was one more aisle I needed to go down, and I didn't even get halfway down that aisle, and I'm like, wait a minute, and saw her and knew I had to have her. So I was just a giddy walking up to the register to check out. All the ladies there were like, where did that come from? So she is just beautiful. So she'll be going, I think, on my kitchen hutch, but I'd love to probably just really love to have her year-round. So I may style her on my hutch during the summertime, and then, you know, when it gets closer to the holidays, I might like put her up maybe on top of my kitchen cabinets. But right now, the plans are to style her on my kitchen hutch. She is just a beauty. I am just thrilled to find her. Okay guys, that's all I'm gonna have for you in this Thrift and Decorate with me. Again, I'll insert some pictures here of how I decorated with the cat, with the book, and with a little scale. When I went to decorate with this strawberry scale, there was so many places in my kitchen that it could go in. My open shelves, this hutch, the countertop. So I ended up placing it on the kitchen hutch, decorating it there, and then over in the coffee area, by the stove, in this little corner. I also used it here, and it is so hard for me to determine which area I like best. So here's me using the scale in two different places. Let me know in the comment section which area you liked best. As of today, when I'm doing this voiceover, it's still here over in this corner. I'm really loving it here. And then we'll head into the living room, and I'll show you where I put my new thrifted vase with my new florals from Hobby Lobby, that sweet little kitty cat, that thrifted book, and then I picked up this gorgeous little magnifying glass with a little rabbit on it from my website. Home Decor Funds is where I got it from, and I think the coffee table looks really good. If you're new today, please be sure to introduce yourself to us in the comment section, maybe your name, where you're from. Thanks again for hanging out with me, friends, and I'll see you guys in the next one. Bye, friends.
