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 had a friend in elementary school who always had a thermos of goodness for lunch. One thing her mom would do is put hotdogs in the thermos and cover them with boiling water. By the time lunch rolled around, the hotdogs would be cooked and ready to eat.
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 🙃
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.
Hi Julie the crock you got is called a butter Bell. You put your butter in the Bell part and cool water in the bottom of the jar the crock and you change it out periodically and it keeps your butter cool and keeps it from spoiling so you can leave it on the counter in the hot summer. The funny thing is you have to remember to change the water periodically.
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!!!!❤❤❤❤
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)
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.
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.
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.
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 ☺️
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.
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!
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…!!💕
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
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.
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!!!
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.
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
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
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
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.
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!
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!
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 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.
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!
*Julie, my Grandma, Mom and I and all 5 of us kids have always had our butter out on the counter all year aound. None of us ever got sick or died from it. 😉* *Some of your linens are dresser scarves, and the piece with the cut-out decoration on just one end was to be used on the back of a chair to keep men's hair oil from staining your furniture. It would have most likely had smaller matching arm covers for the upholstered arms of the chair, too, to keep the dirt and natural oils from your forearms and hands from building up on and staining the upholstered arms of your chairs. You would see these a lot in the homes of women whose husbands were farmers, lumberjacks, mechanics or held other types of jobs involving manual labor, because it was a lot easier to wash these linens than trying to wash upholstered furniture to keep it clean!* *Great find on the Thermos, Elizabeth❣️💛🧡 Besides keeping soup warm, you can keep beef stew, chili, spaghetti with meatballs or meat sauce, ziti with cheese and meat sauce, corned beef hash, Polish sausage, fried rice and egg rolls, scrambled eggs with cream cheese and crumbled bacon 🥓, oatmeal, cream of wheat, and French Toast Sticks with butter and syrup warm in your Thermos. 😉 The possibilities are endless‼️😎*
I love that collander you found. I need one like that with handles. I wish I could get Hannah off the Chick-fil-A train. 🤣🤣 I swear that girl could eat there 24/7.
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.
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.
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 🙏 ❤️
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.
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💞
I LOVE thrifting!! We've recently moved to an Island in the middle of Lake Michigan, and even though there is the Island Thrift Store, it isn't very large. I feel like I'm thrifting thru you!! Keep the videos coming! Beautiful family you have! God Bless!!
That little crock is called a butter Bell you put softened butter in the round part that you lift up out of the container and in the container you could put some cold water put your cold water about every every 3 days or so and it'll keep you bought a nice and fresh and on the cool side you don't have to but I do so that's how that works . It's called a butter Bell
The butter bell you purchased is great. You put water in the bottom of the main part. About an inch or less. You fill the bell with butter. When you put the bell back in the water makes a seal to keep butter fresh. Just change water every once in a while.
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).
Julie, you crack me up. Just a few months ago you said I don't like to decorate in blues. Now you do n you have been finding some good stuff. Way to go. I look forward to friday's so see what new that you find. Thank you. God Bless.
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.
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
Hi Julie That was definitely a meat grinder. I grew up on a farm in the UK in the 50's and we kept ours in the pantry. It clamped on the end of a table when we used it and we called it the mincer. I loved watching Mum mince our meat using this machine. Thanks for bringing back that memory. Sue x
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!
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.
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!!
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...😬
Julie I enjoy all your videos! That thermos is great. Reminds me of when my mom used to put hot tomato soup in my thermos and the stuck a warm hot dog down in it. Then at lunch I would pull the hot dog out and put it on a bun. Hot dog and tomato soup on a cold day was a great lunch!
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.
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!
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. 😀
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.
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. ❤️
Put the linen you got you want to use on as a Christmas skirt use it on your coffee table. I use a Christmas skirt on my coffee table in my living room! It is in the shape of a star, beautiful!
You found some great things! I love, love, love those beautiful bowls. I have 2 of them from Marshall pottery in Marshall, Texas. I don't think they're open anymore. I hope you and your family have a wonderful weekend.
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.❤️👍
My meemaw and mom always left butter and fresh chicken eggs out,I still do,I've done it all my life,never had a problem, love the bowls!! I collect antique yelloware bowls,I found some of mine thrifting and my mother in law gave me hers that her mom had given her.....your videos are like visiting an old friends house,very warm and down to earth,thanks for sharing them!
JULIE!!! ANY type of content is a Pure Pleasure to watch😅❤
You're my absolute FAVORITE on RUclips ‼️‼️
Thank you ☺️

I was thinking some ice in the bottom to keep the butter somewhat chilled.
I keep my butter out on the counter also. I have a pioneer woman butter dish that says, "Butter makes everything taste better". I love it.
Yes it does lol. Thank you 😊
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!!!!❤❤❤❤
Just like what you do it’s like spending time with a friend 😊
Thank you 😊
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)

Yes just keep replacing the water in the butter bell every 2-3 days and it will last for a long time

Thanks for explaining.
Yes, thanks! 😊
Yes, I love my butter bell. .it is french. We could be besties...i love thrifting.

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…!!💕
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.
"I just made a vignette y'all"🤣🤣
😂😂😂
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 😊
I do enjoy this video, makes me feel like more of the family. I am happy you don’t worry about name brands in your decor also.
The star table cover would look great over a red or green tablecloth too
Yes , that’s awesome. Thank you 😊
Grinding your own wheat sounds fascinating. The homestead videos will show you how.
Thank you 😊 I must research.
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!

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 😊
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 😊
Brats, hot dogs, egg rolls, pierogies etc inside your thermos. Keeps them warm all day.
Oh yes! Thank you 😊
Salted butter is just fine sitting out and covered.
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
Love the linens! Great finds today! The look on your face in the liquor store was priceless 🤣
Thank you 😊
I’m a “leave better out on the counter” person too!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yes! It’s so good 😊
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 😁
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 😊
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 😊

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!
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.
I like taking cold soups in my thermos in the summer. Thermoses keeps things cold or hot.
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.
Oh that’s so neat. Thank you 😊

Good idea!💡 Thanks 😊
Thank you so much 😊 I have honestly never been down the liquor aisle at our Walmart so I have no idea.
*Julie, my Grandma, Mom and I and all 5 of us kids have always had our butter out on the counter all year aound. None of us ever got sick or died from it. 😉*
*Some of your linens are dresser scarves, and the piece with the cut-out decoration on just one end was to be used on the back of a chair to keep men's hair oil from staining your furniture. It would have most likely had smaller matching arm covers for the upholstered arms of the chair, too, to keep the dirt and natural oils from your forearms and hands from building up on and staining the upholstered arms of your chairs. You would see these a lot in the homes of women whose husbands were farmers, lumberjacks, mechanics or held other types of jobs involving manual labor, because it was a lot easier to wash these linens than trying to wash upholstered furniture to keep it clean!*
*Great find on the Thermos, Elizabeth❣️💛🧡 Besides keeping soup warm, you can keep beef stew, chili, spaghetti with meatballs or meat sauce, ziti with cheese and meat sauce, corned beef hash, Polish sausage, fried rice and egg rolls, scrambled eggs with cream cheese and crumbled bacon 🥓, oatmeal, cream of wheat, and French Toast Sticks with butter and syrup warm in your Thermos. 😉 The possibilities are endless‼️😎*
Thank you so much 😊 such great ideas for me.
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 😊
I love that collander you found. I need one like that with handles. I wish I could get Hannah off the Chick-fil-A train. 🤣🤣 I swear that girl could eat there 24/7.
Thank you Jessica! And oh I know. Elizabeth loves that place!
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.
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!
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❤
🤣
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.
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
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.
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 😊
I LOVE thrifting!! We've recently moved to an Island in the middle of Lake Michigan, and even though there is the Island Thrift Store, it isn't very large. I feel like I'm thrifting thru you!! Keep the videos coming! Beautiful family you have! God Bless!!
That little crock is called a butter Bell you put softened butter in the round part that you lift up out of the container and in the container you could put some cold water put your cold water about every every 3 days or so and it'll keep you bought a nice and fresh and on the cool side you don't have to but I do so that's how that works . It's called a butter Bell
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
The butter bell you purchased is great. You put water in the bottom of the main part. About an inch or less. You fill the bell with butter. When you put the bell back in the water makes a seal to keep butter fresh. Just change water every once in a while.
Thank you so much 😊
Julie, you found a Butterbell
Keeps butter out on counter without spoiling. I love mine.
Thank you so much 😊
I’ve always kept our butter out. That thing is called a butter bell.
Thank you so much 😊
Great haul Julie 👍👍😊
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!
Julie, you crack me up. Just a few months ago you said I don't like to decorate in blues. Now you do n you have been finding some good stuff. Way to go. I look forward to friday's so see what new that you find. Thank you. God Bless.
Thank you 😊. Yea I’m loving blues now. Crazy right?
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.
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.
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
😂😂😂
We’ve always left butter on the counter. Nothing like hard, cold butter tearing up your bread. 🤣
Thank you 😊
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!!
Hi Julie
That was definitely a meat grinder. I grew up on a farm in the UK in the 50's and we kept ours in the pantry. It clamped on the end of a table when we used it and we called it the mincer. I loved watching Mum mince our meat using this machine. Thanks for bringing back that memory. Sue x
Thank you for watching!
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 😊
Fun thrift, lunch, and Walmart shop with you and Elizabeth! Nice finds! 🥰❤️
Thank you so much 😊
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.
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!
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 😊
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...😬
I totally leave butter out. It does just fine. I use a regular butter dish. Works great.
I enjoyed the new Vlog-style video. You are a fun person to 'ride along with' & inspire me!💛🙏☕
Thank you so much 😊
Julie I enjoy all your videos! That thermos is great. Reminds me of when my mom used to put hot tomato soup in my thermos and the stuck a warm hot dog down in it. Then at lunch I would pull the hot dog out and put it on a bun. Hot dog and tomato soup on a cold day was a great lunch!
Thank you 😊
How clever!
The blue rug is too pretty for the litter box. Love the haul, and the format of the video. 💝
I know. And it looks even better since I shampooed it.
I keep my butter out all year long too.
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 😊
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!
I think a lot of people keep real butter in their counters. Otherwise, you can’t spread it! You found some awesome stuff today!!
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 😊
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 😊
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 😊
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 😊
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. ❤️
I felt the same way when I got vodka to make vanilla!
I keep butter out too. That rug is a nice one. I have a couple from that Company. Great walk through. Love all your formats.
Thank you 😊
We have left our butter our on the counter for years, no issues!
I love the bowls. I'm like you about dishes. Cant wait til you craft your baskets.
Thank you 😊
Forgot to mention, I like vlog type of videos. There's a variety of things to see.
Thank you 😊
Put the linen you got you want to use on as a Christmas skirt use it on your coffee table. I use a Christmas skirt on my coffee table in my living room! It is in the shape of a star, beautiful!
I love linens like that …I collect them also. Enjoy time shopping with you
You found some great things! I love, love, love those beautiful bowls. I have 2 of them from Marshall pottery in Marshall, Texas. I don't think they're open anymore. I hope you and your family have a wonderful weekend.
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 😊
My meemaw and mom always left butter and fresh chicken eggs out,I still do,I've done it all my life,never had a problem, love the bowls!! I collect antique yelloware bowls,I found some of mine thrifting and my mother in law gave me hers that her mom had given her.....your videos are like visiting an old friends house,very warm and down to earth,thanks for sharing them!
