Fantastic ReeRee, I love collecting bones too but your dingo skeleton beats all of mine. Taxidermy is still very collectable in Australia. A friend of mine bought an old suitcase a few years ago from a garage sale. It probably dated to the 1940s. Inside one of the pockets we found a tiny green tree frog - about 4cm long. It had obviously been in there for dacades and was vitrually mummified. With its little arms crossed over its chest and it's eves still half open. It's a sad and beautiful little mummy. We kept it. Keep up the good work.
These thrifthauls are among my favourite videos. Love the couch and tall black candleabra. The dingo skull is cool, and the taxidermy thing is something that fascinates me. It's both a bit macabre as well as beautiful.
I LOVE the sofa - looking for something like that myself ! All your finds are items I would purchase - I'm always in the thrift stores - so many great vintage finds for 'cheap', you found great items ! My dad collects and repairs cuckoo clocks !
What a awesome haul! I love things like this. I have a baby deer skull in my library that my hound brought home for me as a present. Some people think its odd, but I thought it was a lovely gift from her :)
+Gorillaz382 I like taxidermy :) in fact, when I die, I will leave it in my will to get stuffed. and be in a position of...you know like a bear with his claws up and mouth opened. so the relatives could keep me around the house :)
DomesticatedGoth imagine i am rich and when i die, if the relatives want my fortune, they must keep me making turns, 3 months each. and they must keep me in their house and they must show me to the guests :))) and of course i want to be in a strange position, like a bear that is about to attack, with the hands up and moth opened like i roar :)))
since the start of the year I have been trying to hunt down the perfect vanity and chair a couple months ago I found on in absolute perfect condition it is from the 30's and even the glass is in perfect condition I found a shair on the side of the road and it has the same fabric as your couch bit it is bright ass blue with white detail and wood work I have to say this year has been very lucky for finds
I loved this video, and I can relate the joy you have for your dingo bones, when I was a child I found a perfectly complete mouse skeleton and I was so happy XD I really want to watch your taxidermy video I think is awesome giving use to something most people ignore
I brought my son (was then 6 years old) a Taxidermy Crocodile head. Brought my Husband (Then Fiance) a Taxidermy Raven. Brought myself a Bat Skeleton. I've got 3 Flying foxes buried in both Front and back yard (poor babies were electrocuted. Found a raven (road kill) put it on an ants nest and 6 weeks later collected the clean skull and my friend gifted me a possum skull.
I help manage a Thrift Store and let me tell you its crazy fun! That couch is AMAZING!!!!! I live in Colorado, USA and one of my regulars found an impressionist painting and sold it for $20,000 about a month ago! You never know what one might find! REally enjoyed you sharing!! Cheers!!!!
Loved this video! I'm really glad that all of your taxidermy and bones are not contributing towards hurting animals because it gives me reassurance that as a vegetarian and animal lover I could still collect things like this without hurting a living thing. Would love to see more videos like this soon! xo
Love the jar of bones that's awesome that you appreciated nature enough to pick up the bones to preserve them to make jewelry out of it or to make skull display pieces I'm sure your child's curious nature loves looking at the skull.
Ugh, I've been wanting a sofa like that since I was a kid! There's one in the antique store here but its 2k :c Also, your makeup is simply gorgeous~ I'd love to see a taxidermy video and a bone jewelry tutorial!
That's a beautiful piece of furniture and I am busy up cycling/recycling for my cabin and for once I can have it exactly as I want it so its going to be spooky cottage in the woods...Mind you I'll probably have shutters inside and out because the cats are not exactly like my last rescued dog who was a great Dane. I have all sorts of like Medieval peasant ideas like as well as the sleep loft there's going to be one of those old fashioned built in beds that you can close off to the rest of the cabin during the day. There's going to be a lot of candles and medicinal herbs drying as well as the furniture which I am keeping pretty simple and decorated by hand. Your channel seems to have a lot of ideas...I've been looking for things that will fit my character.
Amazing! Love the dingo skull. I often search for animal bones in the forest but I have never found any :( Could you please make a video where you are showing all your oddities, skulls etc? This would be so awesome! I am very curious about your skull collection!
Yes! Please make a tutorial! I absolutely love collecting bones. But my collection is super small. I only have a raccoon skull with flowers carved into it. Beautiful!
+ReeRee Phillips I got mine from a festival. The biggest reason I bought it from the vendors was because they were really struggling to get by. The next skull I want to get my hands on is a coyote!
I've always wanted a couch like that but in purple. I'm gonna have to check my thrift stores or amazon/ebay. I also love chaise's. The bone collection is quite awesome. I prefer more of the shark teeth n such. But bone jewelry is awesome. I have yet to see a bone choker.
My best and my favorite thrifting item I've ever bought is a family photo from the Victorian times. It has a mother, father, three young children, and two teen/early twenties children. One of the older children is dead in the photo. It's my absolute favorite. Creeps my family and my friends out but it's so unique and I got it for only $1.00.
Hi there ! I just discovered your channel, I went to your IG, I love your style (outfit and make up), so here I am a new follower on youtube and IG :) I am a big fan of taxidermy too, so I really look forward to see your video showing your collection ! Love from Paris !
Sweet coach! ...I could easily see Lestat laying cross-legged on that twirling part of his long, wavy bangs saying "Bah! If only it had matching throw pillows...."!
I once bought a wolf skull at a yard sale for five dollars. The guy there didn't even know it was real and had spray painted it, done the worst hot glue job I've ever seen and left it out in the weather for what must have been years. It made me very sad so when I got home, I repaired the teeth and fractures properly, re-painted it (because the spray paint had soaked in and looked horrible) and hit it with some clear coat which also seems to have helped. He now lives on the shelf with my other skulls and looks much happier.
+TheYellowGoggles Oh, that reminds me of this vanity table I saw the other day at the Thrift store. It was spray painted an obnoxious fluorescent yellow, and it was date stamped on the base as 1899. I was almost in tears, because it had such beautiful carvings.
great vid.i just subscribed because of it.i love antiques too.my mom collected them.i grew up learning all about them.my grandfather,who emigrated to australia had a camel saddle and bell.we still have them,and other cool stuff...[he was at gallipoli.] he was born in 1888.[u'm 54,so an old school goth] & nice antiques ! v*v
lovely haul! i love how you do not condone commissions of killing animals solely for their bones and displays and solely do it ethically. i see way too many of people harming animals for their remains. also, the couch looks absolutely amazing.
Hey there! I just found this channel and I am enjoying it. I'm just leaving a comment to say I am pretty positive the little girl picture is a part of the "crying boys" series (even though some of them are girls) done by Giovanni Bragolin in the 1950s. One painting in the series, just named "The Crying Boy" is believed to be cursed. There were buildings, both residential and commercial, in the 1950s which mysteriously caught on fire, usually destroying everything in the building EXCEPT the paintings. Like i said I just found the channel and I'm not sure if hauntings and curses are the kind of thing you're into, but I thought it was interesting, have a wonderful day!
Love your video, my best thrift shop item was a Victorian vanity I'm actually in the process of stripping all the white paint off but that is not original to the piece it's Mahogany Wood and originally had a darker stain. I got it for $30
Nothing annoys me more than when people paint over beautiful hardwood (especially when the wood is in good condition). I saw someone put chalk-board paint over a mahogany carved provincial bed frame!!! I was in pain watching it :( xx
ReeRee Phillips i know! I see a lot of people do that and I'm just like why do that the paint covers up so much details on the wood carvings. To make it worst the paint on the vanity I have is house paint, like you would use on the outside of your house.
Awesome haul! I loved seeing all of your cool finds. I am also in love with your eye shadow colour and it matches your new couch! What eye shadow is it?
+Wendy Ganiggle Its a combination of colours, I can't remember exactly, but I will be making a tutorial of this (which I will mention the exact products )
Bone jewelry tutorial would be great. Do you often harvest found bones? I'm always curious what other people do for their cleaning. I like to clean as little as possible. My best antiquing find was a beautiful antique table base made up of sphinxes. It was missing the marble top, but it would have been cheap enough to add a wooden one. At the time, I did not have space for it and every time I think about it, I regret not getting it. ;_;
+HeavyMetalJess I am lucky that my parents live on property (and I'm moving to the country in a couple months), so when I am cleaning tissue off bones, I will either shallow bury it in a flower bed (it really helps to bring nutrients back to the soil) or place it in a large tub with some water to allow the water to soak off the tissue, and then I will allow bugs to eat the remaining tissue. It takes a couple weeks, but its easy and natural :) xx
Very cool. I usually place mine on top of ant mounds to let them get what they can and then give it a dry brush with a stiff shoe cleaning brush. The other methods always seemed too harsh to me. I tend to like the natural color and a bit a of dirt on my pieces. :)
Can we just call it an OP Shop? We are in Australia they are for the most part called Opportunity Shops not Thrift Shops! Opportunity sounds perfect you get an opportunity to buy something that you may not have had the opportunity to buy!
Yes more antiques and oddities! I recently bought an armadillo at an antique store and it's easily my favorite thing in my room. I agree about the taxidermy stuff tho living in Colorado there are lots of people who hunt and lots of the taxidermy available is bears, deer, and more mountain type animals like that which are 1. Way too big for me to own but also I don't feel comfortable with the whole "trophy killing" so the dead things I do own I have found in the road or bought from antique stores. Can I be 100% sure they weren't killed just to be used as decor? No but I feel it's better than supporting those who hunt in this state just to put giant mounts on the wall. Also I'm super jealous of both candelabras you got I've been looking for one for a while since I got rid of mine because I wanted a bigger one
And yes please to the jewelry video I've been wanting to make some prairie dog skulls into a necklace but want to do something more than just put a string or chain thru the eye sockets
+Coolcumbers666 AN ARMADILLO??? THAT IS SO COOL!!!! I nearly bought a vintage one from a museum auction, but the bidding got to $2,000 and I had to back out :( I know what you mean though, Australia kills 5 million kangaroos every year. Since making this video, I did come across a roadkill kangaroo, so I picked myself up some bones. I refuse to buy them from someone who killed them though
Once again, great video! You gave me some ideas for my next trip to the thrift store. :) Also, a small suggestion: if you're into Norse Magic and you have enough bones (25, to be exact), you could make a set of Runes. I'm sure it would be very interesting to work with such Runes. :)
your style is to die for!!! i can't wait till i move out and can decorate my house with cool vintage pieces like that! ps. what lippie are you wearing? its so hard to find a good, straight black lipstick, i've tried probably a dozen random different brands and they're either patchy or too blue :(
I have that clock! It stopped working years ago though :C It's lovely though. Maybe it's not broken? Does yours have the pine cones at the bottom? If it does you pull the chain and one cone all the way up and the other pine cone pulls it down and that's what keeps it running. Also a nice thing about that clock is that the bird has a little thing on the door so you don't have to hear it chirp every hour, you can keep it closed but still have the clock running.
+Wednesday Aleen I took it into repairs yesterday ($200..which isn't bad in Australia, especially for a post war one). But thats cool we have the same one!
I would love to see a tutorial on how to make bone jewelry! Bones and jewelry making are straight up my alley lol. Also, the thing you were showing before the shoes, what are those called? It's really cute
+Cat Scratch Beauty Its a tea light holder, but it has a spinning top that spins from the heat of the candle. I can't remember its exact name, but it is adorable!
I have two prints that depict children crying. The 'Crying Boy' apparently has a curse surrounding it and was mass produced in the 70s.The second is from the 60s and is a girl...somewhat similar to yours 💀
I'm just a broke teenager so I don't really go thrifting, but my grandma does quite often, and she bought two pairs of ivory chopsticks from a rummage sale for (I think) $4 and gave them to me for Christmas
Yes! Yes! Yes! I would love any bone tutorials. I want to start collecting roadkill for jewelry making, and what I *really* want to make is a large bone chandelier. I also have a question, how do you get over the iche factor when collecting roadkill? That's the only thing that is preventing me from starting. I know once I get one under my belt, I will be fine with it. Yeah, so any info on collecting, cleaning, and assembling jewelry would be awesome. Thanks🐼
+Jessica Smith When I pick up something that is 'roadkill' I always use large waterproof plastic bags, and thick gloves. Its always best to either pick them up fresh (within 6 hours of death), or when they've nearly fully decayed. When I find something that was recently hit by a car or something, I will either choose between freezing them and taking them to a taxidermist, or decaying them and bleaching the bones. Honestly, its easy to overcome the feeling of it being roadkill. I always keep in mind that I am going to create something beautiful out of a the remnants of a life taken too soon. :) xx
+ReeRee Phillips Okay, I will try the next time I find something. I think I will start with something small like a squirrel. Thanks for your advice and take care🐼
Hi ReeRee, great video! I have some fossil shark teeth that I've had in a box for a couple of years as I've been planning on doing something cool with but could never come up with anything. Could you help me out with any ideas please? Xx
My favorite creepy find in a thrift store was a death book, a photo album of dead people mostly people who died from TB in the late 1800's I paid $8 for it.
I know I'm probably too late in letting you know, but there is a clock repair shop in Strathpine (looking at your Po box address I've assumed you are in Brisbane - apologies if I'm wrong) that looks to fix cuckoo clocks (I bought one for my mum from there).
I'd love to see how to make bone jewelry! I've been drying to build my own collection and it would be fun to say i've made some of my own! :)
Everything is gorgeous, and so are you!
+Psychara0x Awww so are you
Fantastic ReeRee, I love collecting bones too but your dingo skeleton beats all of mine. Taxidermy is still very collectable in Australia.

Bone jewellery, taxidermy collection and this makeup look tutorial would be awesome! 😍
Omg a crying child painting! ... Kinda I love the urban legend of how they bring fire and survive the flams
A bone necklace tutorial would be awesome! Lovely finds in this haul! 💜
This was great! I'm so jealous of all of your cool finds. I'd love to see more!
I LOVE the sofa - looking for something like that myself ! All your finds are items I would purchase - I'm always in the thrift stores - so many great vintage finds for 'cheap', you found great items ! My dad collects and repairs cuckoo clocks !

+MtGirlxoxo My daughter found me a snake skeleton, which I now keep in a vial necklace with her tooth :) xx
oh im really looking forward to your taxidermy video!
+Gorillaz382 I like taxidermy :) in fact, when I die, I will leave it in my will to get stuffed. and be in a position of...you know like a bear with his claws up and mouth opened. so the relatives could keep me around the house :)
+cyber seduced actually human taxidermi is not really possible:/
+Jay *taxidermy
I saw a taxidermy of a person in London University; they have some famous philosopher preserved in a case.
DomesticatedGoth
imagine i am rich and when i die, if the relatives want my fortune, they must keep me making turns, 3 months each.
and they must keep me in their house and they must show me to the guests :)))
and of course i want to be in a strange position, like a bear that is about to attack, with the hands up and moth opened like i roar :)))
you should make more of these. I love being different. oddities are definitely my favs
since the start of the year I have been trying to hunt down the perfect vanity and chair
a couple months ago I found on in absolute perfect condition
it is from the 30's and even the glass is in perfect condition
I found a shair on the side of the road and it has the same fabric as your couch bit it is bright ass blue with white detail and wood work
I have to say this year has been very lucky for finds
I'd love to see a room tour of some sort, cause all that stuff looks pretty awesome I bet your home looks great!
I loved this video, and I can relate the joy you have for your dingo bones, when I was a child I found a perfectly complete mouse skeleton and I was so happy XD I really want to watch your taxidermy video I think is awesome giving use to something most people ignore
I have another antique/oddity video coming soon. Just waiting for one of the pieces to get a new piece of glass :) xx
I brought my son (was then 6 years old) a Taxidermy Crocodile head. Brought my Husband (Then Fiance) a Taxidermy Raven. Brought myself a Bat Skeleton. I've got 3 Flying foxes buried in both Front and back yard (poor babies were electrocuted. Found a raven (road kill) put it on an ants nest and 6 weeks later collected the clean skull and my friend gifted me a possum skull.

+Devita Bloom You're very welcome! Thank you for watching :) xx
Completely in awe of that dingo skull! I find it really artistic looking with its missing eye area. Also, your make up is bloody gorgeous x
+Fawnication Thank you!
That dingo skull looks absolutely incredible. I love it.
Thank you so much for sharing your collection with us, really enjoyed this!
I would love a bone jewelry tutorial! I'm a jewelry crafter and I've always wanted to experiment with bones. :)
Loved this! Such interesting finds, I'm obsessed with oddities. Can't wait to see more hauls from you!
+L “DopeHat6” Burns More coming very soon, gorgeous!! xx
Loved this video! I'm really glad that all of your taxidermy and bones are not contributing towards hurting animals because it gives me reassurance that as a vegetarian and animal lover I could still collect things like this without hurting a living thing. Would love to see more videos like this soon! xo
+lauren wynn Thanks gorgeous! 100% agree
Literally binge watching Reeree videos.
i think a tutorial on how to make bone jewelry would be so interesting to watch def looking forward to that :)
Love the jar of bones that's awesome that you appreciated nature enough to pick up the bones to preserve them to make jewelry out of it or to make skull display pieces I'm sure your child's curious nature loves looking at the skull.
Oh please keep doing these kind of videos! I love them so much! And please do a tutorial on the bone jewelry! ❤️
I 100% agree and love how you collect your taxidermy :) Also, I feel like you brought that dingo back to life in a way
Ugh, I've been wanting a sofa like that since I was a kid! There's one in the antique store here but its 2k :c Also, your makeup is simply gorgeous~ I'd love to see a taxidermy video and a bone jewelry tutorial!
Haul envy! love love love the bone display....of to hunt for bones! We have badger and fox ones around, and a few rats skulls!
That's a beautiful piece of furniture and I am busy up cycling/recycling for my cabin and for once I can have it exactly as I want it so its going to be spooky cottage in the woods...Mind you I'll probably have shutters inside and out because the cats are not exactly like my last rescued dog who was a great Dane. I have all sorts of like Medieval peasant ideas like as well as the sleep loft there's going to be one of those old fashioned built in beds that you can close off to the rest of the cabin during the day.

I love the sofa, I know many people are not into those kind of sofas but I find them so freaking amazing xD.
+Talia Bloodina I am so in love with it. I still look at it every day with admiration :) xx
Shes gorgeous. And has a great collection. I have some pretty neat oddities in my collection as well. I'm getting a fiji mermaid soon! 🧜♀️

+Darla The Strange I will be filming the makeup in a tutorial as soon as I can :) xx
+ReeRee Phillips eeep! Can't wait! 💚
Yes! Please make a tutorial! I absolutely love collecting bones. But my collection is super small. I only have a raccoon skull with flowers carved into it. Beautiful!
+Emily Poole I am hoping to get a racoon skull soon (they're hard to find in Australia, and customs is super strict)
+ReeRee Phillips I got mine from a festival. The biggest reason I bought it from the vendors was because they were really struggling to get by. The next skull I want to get my hands on is a coyote!
YES to the Jewellery tutorial video
And YES to the Taxidermy video too please!
I just recently found your channel on RUclips and I'm loving it!
+Onyx Night-Sky Thank you! I'm glad you enjoy my videos

My best and my favorite thrifting item I've ever bought is a family photo from the Victorian times. It has a mother, father, three young children, and two teen/early twenties children.

That sounds wicked!! xx
Love the couch great find! I am so jealous of the great thrift store goods, most shops like that in the US just have crap.

Yes pleas to seeing more oddities video, bone jewelry diy, and Taxidermy videos! 💀
Yes more antiques and oddities! I recently bought an armadillo at an antique store and it's easily my favorite thing in my room. I agree about the taxidermy stuff tho living in Colorado there are lots of people who hunt and lots of the taxidermy available is bears, deer, and more mountain type animals like that which are 1. Way too big for me to own but also I don't feel comfortable with the whole "trophy killing" so the dead things I do own I have found in the road or bought from antique stores. Can I be 100% sure they weren't killed just to be used as decor? No but I feel it's better than supporting those who hunt in this state just to put giant mounts on the wall. Also I'm super jealous of both candelabras you got I've been looking for one for a while since I got rid of mine because I wanted a bigger one
And yes please to the jewelry video I've been wanting to make some prairie dog skulls into a necklace but want to do something more than just put a string or chain thru the eye sockets
+Coolcumbers666 AN ARMADILLO??? THAT IS SO COOL!!!! I nearly bought a vintage one from a museum auction, but the bidding got to $2,000 and I had to back out :( I know what you mean though, Australia kills 5 million kangaroos every year. Since making this video, I did come across a roadkill kangaroo, so I picked myself up some bones. I refuse to buy them from someone who killed them though
Once again, great video! You gave me some ideas for my next trip to the thrift store. :) Also, a small suggestion: if you're into Norse Magic and you have enough bones (25, to be exact), you could make a set of Runes. I'm sure it would be very interesting to work with such Runes. :)
your style is to die for!!! i can't wait till i move out and can decorate my house with cool vintage pieces like that! ps. what lippie are you wearing? its so hard to find a good, straight black lipstick, i've tried probably a dozen random different brands and they're either patchy or too blue :(
Omggggg that COUCH is to die for!!!!
Really nice things, love your taste :)
I have the same mythology-book (but in german language)
Loved seeing all these things :)
I have that clock! It stopped working years ago though :C It's lovely though. Maybe it's not broken? Does yours have the pine cones at the bottom? If it does you pull the chain and one cone all the way up and the other pine cone pulls it down and that's what keeps it running. Also a nice thing about that clock is that the bird has a little thing on the door so you don't have to hear it chirp every hour, you can keep it closed but still have the clock running.
+Wednesday Aleen I took it into repairs yesterday ($200..which isn't bad in Australia, especially for a post war one). But thats cool we have the same one!
Wow O.o I have the same mythology book, it reignited my love of myths and legends years ago.
I would love to see a tutorial on how to make bone jewelry! Bones and jewelry making are straight up my alley lol. Also, the thing you were showing before the shoes, what are those called? It's really cute
+Cat Scratch Beauty Its a tea light holder, but it has a spinning top that spins from the heat of the candle. I can't remember its exact name, but it is adorable!
I wish we had such cool thrift stores here^^
I just LOVED this Ree!!!! 💜
I have two prints that depict children crying.
The 'Crying Boy' apparently has a curse surrounding it and was mass produced in the 70s.The second is from the 60s and is a girl...somewhat similar to yours 💀
I'm just a broke teenager so I don't really go thrifting, but my grandma does quite often, and she bought two pairs of ivory chopsticks from a rummage sale for (I think) $4 and gave them to me for Christmas
Yes! Yes! Yes! I would love any bone tutorials. I want to start collecting roadkill for jewelry making, and what I *really* want to make is a large bone chandelier. I also have a question, how do you get over the iche factor when collecting roadkill? That's the only thing that is preventing me from starting. I know once I get one under my belt, I will be fine with it. Yeah, so any info on collecting, cleaning, and assembling jewelry would be awesome. Thanks🐼
+Jessica Smith When I pick up something that is 'roadkill' I always use large waterproof plastic bags, and thick gloves. Its always best to either pick them up fresh (within 6 hours of death), or when they've nearly fully decayed. When I find something that was recently hit by a car or something, I will either choose between freezing them and taking them to a taxidermist, or decaying them and bleaching the bones. Honestly, its easy to overcome the feeling of it being roadkill. I always keep in mind that I am going to create something beautiful out of a the remnants of a life taken too soon. :) xx
+ReeRee Phillips Okay, I will try the next time I find something. I think I will start with something small like a squirrel. Thanks for your advice and take care🐼
Those days when you find of goath sofa. "whatever I do
There's the number twenty twoooooo" ~ Ashbury Heights
Amazing stuff, I love your new sofa and cucu clock
So many amazing things! Love the boots! What brand are they again?
Where did you get your lipstick? It looks fabulous and I have a hard time finding a wonderful black for myself
I would love to buy a couch like that!!!! how beautiful
I'd love to see your taxidermi collection :)
Hi ReeRee, great video! I have some fossil shark teeth that I've had in a box for a couple of years as I've been planning on doing something cool with but could never come up with anything. Could you help me out with any ideas please? Xx
I'd love to see a bone jewelry tutorial. I have quite a few fish bones and was thinking of doing something with them. Thanks.
She actually made one :) she used the bones showed in this video :D
OMG Yes! Please do make more videos! I was on eBay the other day trying to find oddities and I really want a bat skeleton. I love animals too
My favorite creepy find in a thrift store was a death book, a photo album of dead people mostly people who died from TB in the late 1800's I paid $8 for it.
+Tammy St. Jean That sounds wicked! My partner loves the old funeral photography. Its creepy, yet mesmerising too
I know I'm probably too late in letting you know, but there is a clock repair shop in Strathpine (looking at your Po box address I've assumed you are in Brisbane - apologies if I'm wrong) that looks to fix cuckoo clocks (I bought one for my mum from there).
+Trudes C I already have had mine fixed, but thank you! I might drop in and have a gander next time I'm up the north side
Yes please on the bone jewellery tutorials!
