You guessed how to use it.The butter goes in the bowl shaped part and when you place it in the bigger piece that insulation keeps it cool enough to be soft and not get rancid.
Julie your haul is amazing love all of it. If you don't mind would you say another payer for me.I am a wk out from knee surgery and im a 69 year old so it has been and still is rough. But i know through the lord my healing can go faster i am giving it all I have. thank you
Julie, I keep my butter out on my counter as well, I have small Pyrex refrigerator dishes that I keep my butter in. The 4oz.sticks from Costco fit perfectly in them 👍.I like keeping my butter out so when I need to use it,I don't have to wait for it to soften. My mother in law also does this. So you are not the only one ☺☺.
I keep butter out on my counter too. I also have two of those little butter crocks that you bought. It should hold a whole stick, keep fresh water in it, there should be a fill line inside… change the water every few days! You will love it- and I love watching your videos…!!💕
I keep my butter out also, just like my mother did! You fill the butter bell full of softened butter, put 1/3 cup of cold water in the bottom then replace the bell containing butter. It’s good for 3 weeks! Enjoy! You got a lot of good deals today, those prices were amazing!
Love that you change your format. I like it. Love the blue stripped bowls. Live the linen and the rug. Have a wonderfully Blessed weekend. Thanks for sharing.
It’s a butter bell; my mom had one for many years. You put butter in the top part, and ice in the crock part. It keeps your butter fresh and spreadable, and keeps it from going rancid.
Hi julie...the little crock is called a butter bell..put the butter in the top add water in the bottom enough to cover the bell when it goes on..the water seals it to keep it fresh. Love the haul..you have me addicted to wexford pieces too!!!
I used all my Antique in everyday life ..we are empty nesters … my house is completely with antiques all through the house. Daily decor daily use. I have plenty of antiques in my attic that were my grandmothers. I tell my kids all the time did not throw anything away without checking out what I have I have plenty.
My mom used to send a thermos full of hotdogs and them also put a couple of buns with it separately. We had hotdog day every Tuesday at school and we couldn't afford it, so my moms remedy was the thermos of hotdogs.
I LOVE ALL THE THINGS YOU DO ON HERE, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU STAGE YOUR AWESOME FINDS!!!! I COLLECT THE BOWLS & OTHER CHURN TYPE ARTICLES & I DISPLAY THEM, TOO!!!!❤❤❤❤
I have had one for years...I press my stick of butter into the top cup of the keeper...you put wter in the bottom...its called a "Butter Bell"...pluse I'm associated with a Professional Chef and he shared that he "always" keeps his butter "out" - the water in the bottom "SEALS" the butter - I occasionally change the water....I'll add to the butter...and then of course, I clean it out probably every two weeks..a great find! Enjoy it
Oh my word you are just too cute in the liquor store in this video - homemade vanilla was worth it!! I don't care where you are or what you're doing, as long as you take us along, we are on the edge of our seats 🙃
You cracked me up in that liquor store. Question, can't you just get the vodka at Walmart? My Walmart has a pretty large liquor selection. I can't wait to see how you made the vanilla. I would have never guessed vodka goes in it. I would also love to see your freezer meal plan. When I display bowls, I fill a Ziploc baggie with rice. I just buy the generic Walmart white rice to use. It is the perfect support for stacking bowls, especially when you want to angle one of them. The bowls you bought might need the guart or gallon size baggie. I loved your haul!
I was hoping someone would chime in on that. I had a feeling I'd seen something similar a long time ago, but it wasn't enough like this one to make me sure.
Here in Arizona, the grocery stores sell liquor. No need to go elsewhere lol. They have their own isles just like dairy and cleaning supplies. (So do the local Walgreens, CVS and Walmarts) My local Frys, which is part of Kroger, has a wine bar inside. It has a little pony wall around it. You must be over 21 to be there but they have a bartender and a large screen TV. You can sit at the bar or at one of the tables and you can order food from the deli department and have lunch/dinner.
Just what I did for my hubbys thero. I made breakfast and put it in there. Such as I’d make scrambled eggs or a omelet, breakfast potatoes and sausage. Put potatoes on the bottom. Then sausage or bacon next and eggs on top. Sent in some paper plates and plastic fork. Tada.
You were hilarious in the liquor store! LOL! 😆 You looked like a "pro" with your vodka bottle in the brown bag! Y'all made this CA wine drinker totally crack up!
Ditto! Plus, I've been to the Soviet Union on a nursing tour, 1981, and brought back flavored Stolichnaya. I wondered why she grabbed the one she did!---For me, I can only tolerate the sweet wines, which I can get, but as a nurse who's too-frequently on-call, I only get a swig once in a while!
Julie, loved the way you did this video. 🥰 I leave my butter out too… ain’t none of us died yet!!! lol Always love your videos! Much love from Northwest Florida 🙂
Hello Renee, I’m from North Florida, Lake City in between Jacksonville and Tallahassee. Where are you from? I also leave butter out and ain’t none of us died yet either! I have one of the butter crocks Julie like the one you got and you put a little water in it also.
Rather than using a rug,place a rubber mat(grip or grid type)under the litter box.much more hygienic as it catches the dragged out litter,and can easily be removed and just hosed off!
Your crock bowls seem to match the butter bell. I found these instructions online for the Norpro Butter Keeper/Butter Bell. Simply pour approximately 1/2 inch of water in the basin, fill the top of the butter keeper with butter, turn it upside down so the water is covering the top of the butter, and PRESTO! Soft, sweet, spreadable butter that stays fresh. (Water should be changed every 2-3 days). Made of attractive glazed stoneware. You always find useful treasures at great prices. Happy thrifting.
It is a butter mold. Yes, you can leave butter out. The too bowls look like cheese molds sold in the 40,s and maybe earlier. These may be reproductions. ( I love them)
I Google searched a screen shot of the wood piece you asked about and it showed as a small antique wine/grape press which would explain the grapes engraved on it.
Lol Julie I am the same way when I go into the liquor store, I only go in to get what you got, because I use them for my elderberry decoction. I also look lost and the clerk always says miss can I help you.
Costco has the Food Savers along with bags for $99. Just thought I would let you know. Oh my goodness… that Goodwill was awesome. Any Chick-Fil-A around us is always so crowded. The drive thrus are backed all the way out of the parking lot and down the streets. So we don’t get it very often. You cracked me up while you were in the liquor store. I don’t drink either (personal convictions) and I know I would be the same way. I had to go into the liquor section in my grocery store and I felt odd doing that. 😂 I would be interested in seeing how the butter keeper works also. ❤️
Hi there, you know what? YOU can put fabric on your lamp shade. I use strip's of hot glue ....it's pretty easy. Just cut and measure fabric to go around lamp...tuck in the end and put a glue strip of hot glue.
I made Vanilla a few years ago. We ended up dumping it when we moved across the country. We had all our things sent by train. so you know how things must have bounced around? That made me sad! ... I ended up buying a butter Bell also! ... you have to put a small amount of cool water in the bottom of the bell, there should be a mark for the water line. Pack one stick of softened butter in the bell-shaped area with a spoon. Pack tightly. Change the water every other day. Works great!!! It will be airtight and create a seal with the water. I think you purchased some really nice items today! ... Good job, and God, bless you
Hello! Luv your haul, your day, you and your daughter! I do miss the styling, in fact that’s the reason I luv your channel. All those beautiful finds and instant gratification seeing it all so creatively styled. So keep a little of that in your hauls too 🙏 ❤️
At first I was a little.... uhhh, cause I love your format, but I love this one too!!🤣 That first linen with the decorative edge on one side, is to hang over a chair.... my husband when he worked wore the hair gel and it eventually makes fabric look greasey...😬
There is that beautiful smile of Elizabeth's! I am with yall on Chik fil A I go there every time I have a doctor appointment in a town a couple hours from me. I have digestive problems so I see a specialist and chik fil A is easy on my stomach. Even if I cant eat right away I will still order mac n cheese and take it home. Our Goodwill doesnt like people going through the carts. That painting was GORGEOUS!
Hi Julie! We leave our butter out also and have never had a problem either, but we always have the AC running. I agree eating out is getting costly and alot of the time it isn't that good. We are also trying to eat better at home! Have a great weekend!!
It’s a butter bell. You put your butter in the top bell. There should be a line of some sort in the front inside of the main crock. Fill to the line with cold water. I bought one last year to use. I love mine.
Hi, Julie. Years ago, when my husband was working a construction job, he was out on very frigid days during our western Kansas winters. I made soups and then froze them in 2-cup containers. I also bought bags of frozen bread dough -- by the time I would get the bread home (a 25-mile trip), it would be slightly thawed. That was just enough to be able to cut it into three pieces and store them separately in our freezer. The evening before I wanted to put these foods in my husband's lunch, I would take the soup out and let it thaw for a while and then put it in the fridge. Before going to bed, I would take one of the 1/3 pieces of bread dough out and put it in a greased mini bread pan to let it rise overnight. The next morning, I would warm the soup and bake the bread. I put the soup in a wide-mouth thermos similar to the one you found, and I'd wrap the bread in a tea towel and foil to keep it somewhat warm. With the addition of a few other foods, he had a warm and healthy meal to keep him going on those cold, cold days. I know your days aren't all that cold, but the addition of a loaf of fresh bread might be just what your husband needs to appreciate the hot soup!
Julie, our liquor store in town also sells feed for animals. My mom and dad sent me to get chicken feed for them. Don't you know it looked funny when the preacher's kid came out of the liquor store. Lol
My Food Saver came from a local Walmart Supercenter. I checked 3 of the local stores and they all have several models in stock. If you could find one in a thrift store, it sure would save you money! Good luck!
Great visit. I could use a bit more road trips, to see other parts of our great country.---I'd nix that idea of using that shag rug under the litter box, imagining litter lurking in the loops of yarn...uff da. Wouldn't do it for me!---I rarely go to my Goodwill, & when I just need an excuse to 'window-shop' I try to get the urge on a Monday...25% off for Seniors! So, I never know how often the carts are brought out at my store. I've never seen it on those days I go (& at odd times, depending on my schedule.) Also, if there's no sticker price, they will not sell it. It goes back to the back for pricing, then set out for the next day.
Julie, I use nothing but "butter bells/butter crocks" like this one. My mother always did also....in my opinion, best way to store it for softness and protection from being exposed. You put the soft butter in the bell shaped part then add water to the "crock " part ( about 1/2 full) then, when you put the butter bell together with the crock piece...the water "seals" around the bell to keep it super fresh!1 Be sure to change your water every 3rd day or so. ( I've always gone through a fu;; stick of butter or more in that amount of time so I wash and dry the whole unit before adding a new stick).
We’ve kept our butter on the counter for years just in a butter dish but I’ve seen the crocks before. I can’t have too many grains anymore but I have a Whispermill grinder. I think you found a meat grinder in this video. Definitely research and invest in a good quality machine if you plan to use it a lot. Facebook marketplace might be a good place to find a used one. I’ve thrifted for about 30 years now and don’t believe I’ve ever seen a grain grinder. I enjoyed grinding my grains. I’ve kept mine in case any of my kids want to use it but sadly those days are over for myself. I could grind corn or rice but my is already contaminated with flour. So I don’t get a chance to use it much. Love the bowls and the vintage thermos. I’ve started collecting the glass canisters also.
I think the butter on table/counter is a southern thing because my Grandmom is from Arkansas and she did that too & now I do it too but I’m from Jersey ☺️
I took home a rug from goodwill with some stains on them, but I loved the colors. I went to an big commercial laundry and spent $4.00 on a wash job. Perfect when it was clean. I dried it over the fence in the back yard. Still love the rug several years later. Just food for thought
Hello….I use to keep our butter in a glass Pyrex dish. But here also in SDak it’s hot. My daughter bought me this Butter Bell like yours. The top you put the butter in and the bottom dish you put water like a quarter the way up. Change the water every 2-3 days if you don’t use up the butter. The butter is soft and just knife it out. I hope you will like yours, I sure do. 😀
First time viewer, your video was fun. I wish our GW had your low prices here in Oregon. Our family has always kept the covered butter dish on the counter, many generations! We have 2 dish system- one to use, one to clean because: messy grandkids! I loved the butter crock you found, hope to find 1 for our family. With 5 of us plus 2 grandkids here in the summer, we go through over 1 stick a week- no chance to spoil even if it could! Happy pickings!
It's called a butter bell. Put your butter in the lid part and put about a half of an inch of water in base and it will seal your butter from the air and keep it cool. Had one for years and love it
Hello Julie! You made me laugh when you were at Walmart and said "If you drink that is your problem, but I don't. The man asked me if I want a bag. I said of course I want a bag!" 😂😂And walk as fast as you could out of the store. Great Goodwill thrift haul. I love the items you bought, the glass jar for your friend, the dollies, basket and especially the 2 large bowls for $3.99. Hi Elizabeth, is so fun seen her shopping with you and finding a Thermos for her daddy. Wishing you a wonderful Saturday. Our Princess Class of 2022👩🎓🌺Proud parents' hearts💞
We have a butter crock. Love it. Put a little water and dash of salt in the bottom. Also, make sure you wait for the crock to be completely empty and wash before each refill. Also make sure there aren’t any air pockets in the butter.
Hi Julie, I have one of those butter crock pots. You add cold water every 3 days and add soft butter. Do a Amazon search and you can see how it works. By the way I always enjoy your videos and your personality. You bring joy into my life. Thank you.
You were blessed to find that ticking stripe for .99, wish I could find a deal like that in my goodwill. They have gotten pretty high and tacky here. Btw, I love seeing that you still like your cap. So glad I found it for you, it is so you. I use the hey y'all expression too.
Hey Julie yeah I enjoyed it I like for you to be able to tell us thanks while you're you're going through and thrifting and then also showing us your hall afterwards but I really enjoyed the fact that you took us to the grocery store cause I live here in Oklahoma and the prices are awful and it's just me and my husband and I but an end and we're on a fixed income it's horrible so thanks a lot Julie I enjoyed it
I am another "counter butter" person!! I want my butter spreadable!! I keep saying I need to come to your neck of the woods to thrift, our goodwill locations never have nice things!
Loved your video! It’s like listening to a friend telling me about her day. I love to look at items from Goodwill. Some of the other video I see they buy to resell on eBay. I don’t know if you do this or not. It’s my first time see your video. I would like to see how you use the items at home, Like the blue & white fabric or how you use the white linen. I would be waiting and looking for your videos. Have a bless day.
Hey Tommi, I’m so glad you’re here. In almost every video I show how I use my items. I just happen not to In this video because it was so long. But I’ll definitely update y’all on these items soon.
I love this video format but I've enjoyed all of your videos. My family also keeps butter on the counter. I keep mine in a glass Pyrex bowl with a plastic lid. The first linen looks like the kind you would drape over the back of an upholstered chair to keep hair oils from damaging it. There would be smaller ones to put over the chair's arms. I love the rug. I can picture it under a rocking chair. The ticking would make a nice liner for a basket. The bowls are lovely. You could grow bulbs in the cracked one, or even line it with the ticking or the first linen and put hot rolls or biscuits in them on the table to keep them warm. I love your taste in decor and am so happy you are able to find such great things n your area.
Great thrift today. Enjoyed going to Chick-fil-A and Walmart with you. I understand about the liquor store I don't drink either and it makes me really nervous to even be in one.
It's a butter bell.Put water in the base and butter in the bell part. Goggle cause I'm not sure about how much water. I always wanted one and I got a tiny one and finally used it.Really cute and works. I always worry about butter sitting out but I know alot of people do.Omg I loved ur liquor store trip. I social drink once in a blue moon and when i go in a liquor store I feel guilty and a little scared so I am just like this.
Julie, love your new format! I love those bowls, they will look perfect with your collection! Elizabeth is a great treasure hunter, she has the gift, just like you. Stay cool this week, and be safe.❤️👍
I send my hubby with a meal every day in one to keep it hot and put all the sides in other small containers to complete the meal , he loves it .great job on starting to stop eating out .
I just love watching your videos. Our tastes are so similar. I love the bowls, the butter bell, which I collect, and the colander. I love how you show how you display your things and other ideas.
You guessed how to use it.The butter goes in the bowl shaped part and when you place it in the bigger piece that insulation keeps it cool enough to be soft and not get rancid.
Thank you so much 😊
Julie your haul is amazing love all of it. If you don't mind would you say another payer for me.I am a wk out from knee surgery and im a 69 year old so it has been and still is rough. But i know through the lord my healing can go faster i am giving it all I have. thank you
Thank you so much sweet friend and absolutely! I’ll stop and pray now.
Julie, I keep my butter out on my counter as well, I have small Pyrex refrigerator dishes that I keep my butter in. The 4oz.sticks from Costco fit perfectly in them 👍.I like keeping my butter out so when I need to use it,I don't have to wait for it to soften. My mother in law also does this. So you are not the only one ☺☺.
I do as well for the same reason.
That’s so good to know. Thank you so much 😊
Maybe it’s a southern thing but I always have butter in the counter!
Same here keep my butter out in a silver butter container that used to be my moms. Practical and pretty! Never had any issuesz
I keep butter out on my counter too. I also have two of those little butter crocks that you bought. It should hold a whole stick, keep fresh water in it, there should be a fill line inside… change the water every few days! You will love it- and I love watching your videos…!!💕
I keep my butter out also, just like my mother did! You fill the butter bell full of softened butter, put 1/3 cup of cold water in the bottom then replace the bell containing butter. It’s good for 3 weeks! Enjoy! You got a lot of good deals today, those prices were amazing!
Thank you so much 😊
Thanks for explaining.
Yes, thanks! 😊
Yes, I love my butter bell. .it is french. We could be besties...i love thrifting.
Love that you change your format. I like it. Love the blue stripped bowls. Live the linen and the rug. Have a wonderfully Blessed weekend. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much 😊
It’s a butter bell; my mom had one for many years. You put butter in the top part, and ice in the crock part. It keeps your butter fresh and spreadable, and keeps it from going rancid.
I love watching your videos and the fact that you are a christian my sister in Christ keep up the good work
Thank you so much Donna!
Hi julie...the little crock is called a butter bell..put the butter in the top add water in the bottom enough to cover the bell when it goes on..the water seals it to keep it fresh.
Love the haul..you have me addicted to wexford pieces too!!!
Thank you so much 😊
I used all my Antique in everyday life ..we are empty nesters … my house is completely with antiques all through the house. Daily decor daily use. I have plenty of antiques in my attic that were my grandmothers. I tell my kids all the time did not throw anything away without checking out what I have I have plenty.

Yes just keep replacing the water in the butter bell every 2-3 days and it will last for a long time
I LOVE ALL THE THINGS YOU DO ON HERE, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU STAGE YOUR AWESOME FINDS!!!!
I COLLECT THE BOWLS & OTHER CHURN TYPE ARTICLES & I DISPLAY THEM, TOO!!!!❤❤❤❤
I have had one for years...I press my stick of butter into the top cup of the keeper...you put wter in the bottom...its called a "Butter Bell"...pluse I'm associated with a Professional Chef and he shared that he "always" keeps his butter "out" - the water in the bottom "SEALS" the butter - I occasionally change the water....I'll add to the butter...and then of course, I clean it out probably every
two weeks..a great find! Enjoy it
Thank you so much 😊
Oh my word you are just too cute in the liquor store in this video - homemade vanilla was worth it!! I don't care where you are or what you're doing, as long as you take us along,
we are on the edge of our seats 🙃
You cracked me up in that liquor store. Question, can't you just get the vodka at Walmart? My Walmart has a pretty large liquor selection. I can't wait to see how you made the vanilla. I would have never guessed vodka goes in it. I would also love to see your freezer meal plan. When I display bowls, I fill a Ziploc baggie with rice. I just buy the generic Walmart white rice to use. It is the perfect support for stacking bowls, especially when you want to angle one of them. The bowls you bought might need the guart or gallon size baggie. I loved your haul!
Good idea!💡 Thanks 😊
Thank you so much 😊 I have honestly never been down the liquor aisle at our Walmart so I have no idea.
I have that same butter bell. Love mine. Just put water in the bottom of the crock. Enough so the butter inside the bell part is covered
Thank you so much 😊
I was hoping someone would chime in on that. I had a feeling I'd seen something similar a long time ago, but it wasn't enough like this one to make me sure.
Just like what you do it’s like spending time with a friend 😊
Thank you 😊
"I just made a vignette y'all"🤣🤣
😂😂😂

I’m a “leave better out on the counter” person too!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yes! It’s so good 😊
I love, love those big bowls! You had my laughing in the liquor store. I would have felt the same way for the same reason. Lol
Just what I did for my hubbys thero. I made breakfast and put it in there. Such as I’d make scrambled eggs or a omelet, breakfast potatoes and sausage. Put potatoes on the bottom. Then sausage or bacon next and eggs on top. Sent in some paper plates and plastic fork. Tada.
Julie, you found a Butterbell
Keeps butter out on counter without spoiling. I love mine.
Thank you so much 😊
You were hilarious in the liquor store! LOL! 😆 You looked like a "pro" with your vodka bottle in the brown bag! Y'all made this CA wine drinker totally crack up!

Brats, hot dogs, egg rolls, pierogies etc inside your thermos. Keeps them warm all day.
Oh yes! Thank you 😊
The star table cover would look great over a red or green tablecloth too
Yes , that’s awesome. Thank you 😊
Julie, loved the way you did this video. 🥰 I leave my butter out too… ain’t none of us died yet!!! lol Always love your videos! Much love from Northwest Florida 🙂
Nothing wrong with saying ain't as far as I'm concerned. I think it's a southern thing more or less but maybe it isn't or it ain't, lol.
Thank you so much 😊 and right, I’ve left mine out for years! Lol
@@judybryant3880 haha absolutely! I say it all the time.
Hello Renee, I’m from North Florida, Lake City in between Jacksonville and Tallahassee. Where are you from? I also leave butter out and ain’t none of us died yet either! I have one of the butter crocks Julie like the one you got and you put a little water in it also.
Everything you came home with is terrific BUT, my absolute favorite of your treasures is Miss Elizabeth ! She is just so stink'in cute.
Thank you so much 😊
Love the linens! Great finds today! The look on your face in the liquor store was priceless 🤣
Thank you 😊
Rather than using a rug,place a rubber mat(grip or grid type)under the litter box.much more hygienic as it catches the dragged out litter,and can easily be removed and just hosed off!
Good idea. Thank you 😊
Your crock bowls seem to match the butter bell. I found these instructions online for the Norpro Butter Keeper/Butter Bell.

Oh that’s so neat. Thank you 😊
Great haul! I enjoyed the video, looks like you and Elizabeth had a fun day! You bought groceries and gas, that’s a double whammy to your wallet! 😊❤️
Thank you 😊 and yes!
Lol Julie I am the same way when I go into the liquor store, I only go in to get what you got, because I use them for my elderberry decoction. I also look lost and the clerk always says miss can I help you.
Yes, I walked straight in and said where’s your vodka lol.
Yes I do I like long shopping trips they are better then short ones keep doing the long shopping one
Costco has the Food Savers along with bags for $99. Just thought I would let you know. Oh my goodness… that Goodwill was awesome. Any Chick-Fil-A around us is always so crowded. The drive thrus are backed all the way out of the parking lot and down the streets. So we don’t get it very often. You cracked me up while you were in the liquor store.

I had to go into the liquor section in my grocery store and I felt odd doing that. 😂 I would be interested in seeing how the butter keeper works also. ❤️
Here is a tip about peppers. Turn them over if they have 4 bumps on the bottom they will be sweet. 3 bumps mean they will be bitter.
Thank you so much! I’ve heard that before somewhere.
Hi there, you know what? YOU can put fabric on your lamp shade. I use strip's of hot glue ....it's pretty easy. Just cut and measure fabric to go around lamp...tuck in the end and put a glue strip of hot glue.
Thank you so much 😊
I made Vanilla a few years ago. We ended up dumping it when we moved across the country. We had all our things sent by train. so you know how things must have bounced around? That made me sad! ...
I ended up buying a butter Bell also! ... you have to put a small amount of cool water in the bottom of the bell, there should be a mark for the water line. Pack one stick of softened butter in the bell-shaped area with a spoon. Pack tightly. Change the water every other day. Works great!!! It will be airtight and create a seal with the water.

Thank you so much Gracie!
Hello! Luv your haul, your day, you and your daughter! I do miss the styling, in fact that’s the reason I luv your channel. All those beautiful finds and instant gratification seeing it all so creatively styled. So keep a little of that in your hauls too 🙏
❤️
Thank you so much 😊 and I sure will
I love buying bowls like most women buy shoes 😊
At first I was a little.... uhhh, cause I love your format, but I love this one too!!🤣 That first linen with the decorative edge on one side, is to hang over a chair.... my husband when he worked wore the hair gel and it eventually makes fabric look greasey...😬
My butter is always on the counter! I have been hunting a butter bell for mine at the thrift stores. I will find one one of these days.
Keep Thrifting! It will come.
Grinding your own wheat sounds fascinating. The homestead videos will show you how.
Thank you 😊 I must research.
YOU GOT A LOT OF GOOD DEALS TODAY I LIKE THE VLOG AND ALSO THE WAY YOU DECORATE WITH YOUR ITEM YOU PICK UP.
Thank you 😊
I leave butter out all the time too. Even in Texas where it is 108 today. Never a problem
There is that beautiful smile of Elizabeth's! I am with yall on
Chik fil A I go there every time I have a doctor appointment in a town a couple hours from me. I have digestive problems so I see a specialist and chik fil A is easy on my stomach. Even if I cant eat right away I will still order mac n cheese and take it home. Our Goodwill doesnt like people going through the carts. That painting was GORGEOUS!
I think the wooden object you found is a butter press used when you churn your own butter. Its used to press the liquid out of the butter
Thank you 😊
Hi Julie! We leave our butter out also and have never had a problem either, but we always have the AC running. I agree eating out is getting costly and alot of the time it isn't that good. We are also trying to eat better at home! Have a great weekend!!
Thank you so much 😊
I like the haul at the end. Sometimes I don't have time to watch the whole video but can skip to the end to see what treasures you found.
I try to incorporate that too 😁
I totally leave butter out. It does just fine. I use a regular butter dish. Works great.
It’s a butter bell. You put your butter in the top bell. There should be a line of some sort in the front inside of the main crock. Fill to the line with cold water. I bought one last year to use. I love mine.
Thank you so much 😊
Hi, Julie. Years ago, when my husband was working a construction job, he was out on very frigid days during our western Kansas winters. I made soups and then froze them in 2-cup containers. I also bought bags of frozen bread dough -- by the time I would get the bread home (a 25-mile trip), it would be slightly thawed. That was just enough to be able to cut it into three pieces and store them separately in our freezer. The evening before I wanted to put these foods in my husband's lunch, I would take the soup out and let it thaw for a while and then put it in the fridge. Before going to bed, I would take one of the 1/3 pieces of bread dough out and put it in a greased mini bread pan to let it rise overnight. The next morning, I would warm the soup and bake the bread. I put the soup in a wide-mouth thermos similar to the one you found, and I'd wrap the bread in a tea towel and foil to keep it somewhat warm. With the addition of a few other foods, he had a warm and healthy meal to keep him going on those cold, cold days. I know your days aren't all that cold, but the addition of a loaf of fresh bread might be just what your husband needs to appreciate the hot soup!
Thank you so much 😊
Julie you made me laugh going to the liquor store!!!! YES I want a bag !!! What a great haul lady!!! So good to see Elizabeth❤
🤣
Julie, our liquor store in town also sells feed for animals. My mom and dad sent me to get chicken feed for them. Don't you know it looked funny when the preacher's kid came out of the liquor store. Lol
😂😂😂
My Food Saver came from a local Walmart Supercenter. I checked 3 of the local stores and they all have several models in stock.
If you could find one in a thrift store, it sure would save you money! Good luck!
Thank you so much 😊
Great visit. I could use a bit more road trips, to see other parts of our great country.---I'd nix that idea of using that shag rug under the litter box, imagining litter lurking in the loops of yarn...uff da. Wouldn't do it for me!---I rarely go to my Goodwill, & when I just need an excuse to 'window-shop' I try to get the urge on a Monday...25% off for Seniors! So, I never know how often the carts are brought out at my store. I've never seen it on those days I go (& at odd times, depending on my schedule.) Also, if there's no sticker price, they will not sell it. It goes back to the back for pricing, then set out for the next day.
Thank you Alana!
The bowls match your butter dish! Have to add water to the butter croc!
Thank you 😊
I love linens like that …I collect them also. Enjoy time shopping with you
Julie, I use nothing but "butter bells/butter crocks" like this one. My mother always did also....in my opinion, best way to store it for softness and protection from being exposed. You put the soft butter in the bell shaped part then add water to the "crock " part ( about 1/2 full) then, when you put the butter bell together with the crock piece...the water "seals" around the bell to keep it super fresh!1 Be sure to change your water every 3rd day or so. ( I've always gone through a fu;; stick of butter or more in that amount of time so I wash and dry the whole unit before adding a new stick).
Hii Julie and Gabi I have the butter Bell and I Love it, and is easy, nevef gona change it. Good buy.
Thank you Debi!
We’ve kept our butter on the counter for years just in a butter dish but I’ve seen the crocks before. I can’t have too many grains anymore but I have a Whispermill grinder. I think you found a meat grinder in this video. Definitely research and invest in a good quality machine if you plan to use it a lot. Facebook marketplace might be a good place to find a used one. I’ve thrifted for about 30 years now and don’t believe I’ve ever seen a grain grinder. I enjoyed grinding my grains. I’ve kept mine in case any of my kids want to use it but sadly those days are over for myself. I could grind corn or rice but my is already contaminated with flour. So I don’t get a chance to use it much. Love the bowls and the vintage thermos. I’ve started collecting the glass canisters also.
Thank you Nancy!
I think the butter on table/counter is a southern thing because my Grandmom is from Arkansas and she did that too & now I do it too but I’m from Jersey ☺️
I took home a rug from goodwill with some stains on them, but I loved the colors. I went to an big commercial laundry and spent $4.00 on a wash job. Perfect when it was clean. I dried it over the fence in the back yard. Still love the rug several years later. Just food for thought
Hello….I use to keep our butter in a glass Pyrex dish. But here also in SDak it’s hot. My daughter bought me this Butter Bell like yours. The top you put the butter in and the bottom dish you put water like a quarter the way up. Change the water every 2-3 days if you don’t use up the butter. The butter is soft and just knife it out. I hope you will like yours, I sure do. 😀
Thank you so much 😊
First time viewer, your video was fun. I wish our GW had your low prices here in Oregon.
Our family has always kept the covered butter dish on the counter, many generations! We have 2 dish system- one to use, one to clean because: messy grandkids! I loved the butter crock you found, hope to find 1 for our family. With 5 of us plus 2 grandkids here in the summer, we go through over 1 stick a week- no chance to spoil even if it could! Happy pickings!
Thank you 😊
bowls are great and butter can be left on counter at room temp no problem
Butter , I keep mine out as well . Can’t stand to spread cold butter on bread 😁 It rips the toast and makes my hot biscuit turn cold 😁
Great haul Julie 👍👍😊
Julie, put 1/2 cup of water in the large part. In the lid well put a stick of soft butter smoothed then put the lid on. It keeps it soft
Thank you so much 😊
I read a few months ago that butter does not need to be refrigerated. SO I've kept mine on my counter ever since and I love it!!
It's called a butter bell. Put your butter in the lid part and put about a half of an inch of water in base and it will seal your butter from the air and keep it cool. Had one for years and love it
Thank you 😊
We have left our butter our on the counter for years, no issues!
You put the butter in the top part and cold water in the bottom. Only about a half a cup and change it daily. It's supposed to keep it cool and fresh.
Thank you 😊
Hello Julie! You made me laugh when you were at Walmart and said "If you drink that is your problem, but I don't. The man asked me if I want a bag. I said of course I want a bag!" 😂😂And walk as fast as you could out of the store. Great Goodwill thrift haul. I love the items you bought, the glass jar for your friend, the dollies, basket and especially the 2 large bowls for $3.99. Hi Elizabeth, is so fun seen her shopping with you and finding a Thermos for her daddy. Wishing you a wonderful Saturday. Our Princess Class of 2022👩🎓🌺Proud parents' hearts💞
Hello Julie! I love the video and the Blog format.🥰
Thank you 😊
We have a butter crock. Love it. Put a little water and dash of salt in the bottom. Also, make sure you wait for the crock to be completely empty and wash before each refill. Also make sure there aren’t any air pockets in the butter.
I enjoy your old format better. It's easy and soothing.
Although, I'll continue to follow you regardless of any changes. 😁👍
Thank you Nancy!
I’ve always kept our butter out. That thing is called a butter bell.
Thank you so much 😊
I like taking cold soups in my thermos in the summer. Thermoses keeps things cold or hot.
Hi Julie, I have one of those butter crock pots. You add cold water every 3 days and add soft butter. Do a Amazon search and you can see how it works. By the way I always enjoy your videos and your personality. You bring joy into my life. Thank you.
I felt the same way when I got vodka to make vanilla!
You were blessed to find that ticking stripe for .99, wish I could find a deal like that in my goodwill. They have gotten pretty high and tacky here. Btw, I love seeing that you still like your cap. So glad I found it for you, it is so you. I use the hey y'all expression too.
Thank you 😊
Salted butter is just fine sitting out and covered.
Fun thrift, lunch, and Walmart shop with you and Elizabeth! Nice finds! 🥰❤️
Thank you so much 😊
Hey Julie yeah I enjoyed it I like for you to be able to tell us thanks while you're you're going through and thrifting and then also showing us your hall afterwards but I really enjoyed the fact that you took us to the grocery store cause I live here in Oklahoma and the prices are awful and it's just me and my husband and I but an end and we're on a fixed income it's horrible so thanks a lot Julie I enjoyed it
I am another "counter butter" person!! I want my butter spreadable!! I keep saying I need to come to your neck of the woods to thrift, our goodwill locations never have nice things!
Thank you 😊 and come on down.
Loved your video! It’s like listening to a friend telling me about her day. I love to look at items from Goodwill. Some of the other video I see they buy to resell on eBay. I don’t know if you do this or not. It’s my first time see your video. I would like to see how you use the items at home, Like the blue & white fabric or how you use the white linen. I would be waiting and looking for your videos. Have a bless day.
Hey Tommi, I’m so glad you’re here. In almost every video I show how I use my items. I just happen not to In this video because it was so long. But I’ll definitely update y’all on these items soon.
I love this video format but I've enjoyed all of your videos. My family also keeps butter on the counter. I keep mine in a glass Pyrex bowl with a plastic lid. The first linen looks like the kind you would drape over the back of an upholstered chair to keep hair oils from damaging it. There would be smaller ones to put over the chair's arms. I love the rug. I can picture it under a rocking chair. The ticking would make a nice liner for a basket. The bowls are lovely. You could grow bulbs in the cracked one, or even line it with the ticking or the first linen and put hot rolls or biscuits in them on the table to keep them warm. I love your taste in decor and am so happy you are able to find such great things n your area.
Thank you so much 😊
When I was growing up, we always kept butter out on the counter in just a regular butter dish. I like this style of video.
Thank you 😊
Butter crock, I think you put water in the bottom. Do some research to make sure, great buy.
Thank you Shirley!
New friend here...I love thefting! You got some really good finds.
Thank you 😊 I’m so glad you’re here!
Great thrift today. Enjoyed going to Chick-fil-A and Walmart with you.
I understand about the liquor store I don't drink either and it makes me really nervous to even be in one.
Thank you so much 😊
It's a butter bell.Put water in the base and butter in the bell part. Goggle cause I'm not sure about how much water. I always wanted one and I got a tiny one and finally used it.Really cute and works. I always worry about butter sitting out but I know alot of people do.Omg I loved ur liquor store trip. I social drink once in a blue moon and when i go in a liquor store I feel guilty and a little scared so I am just like this.
Thank you 😊
I liked today's format! I have a butter crock like the one you bought and I didn't know what it was! Now I do!
Thank you 😊
Julie, love your new format! I love those bowls, they will look perfect with your collection! Elizabeth is a great treasure hunter, she has the gift, just like you. Stay cool this week, and be safe.❤️👍
Thank you so much 😊
I send my hubby with a meal every day in one to keep it hot and put all the sides in other small containers to complete the meal , he loves it .great job on starting to stop eating out .
Put cold water about a fourth of the way up. Put a stick of butter in the bell part. Keeps your butter fresh. It’s called a butter bell
I just love watching your videos. Our tastes are so similar. I love the bowls, the butter bell, which I collect, and the colander. I love how you show how you display your things and other ideas.
Heck ya, I keep my butter out!!! I need one of those too!!
Alchohol will bring those stickers right off .I have a spray bottle for my alchohol. Works great for cleaning mirrors. Or vinegar.
Thank you 😊
