Don’t hesitate to walk away if you show up and the piece isn’t what you expected or has unpictutes damage. My passive self used to end up getting it anyway because I didn’t want to be rude. Then I realized the seller is the rude one for being misleading with the listing! They wasted your time, not the other way around.
I got my dining room table off Facebook Marketplace, it was originally from pottery barn so probably very expensive. I only paid a couple hundred for a very nice solid wood dining table. The lady said her kids would always sit there and do homework and one day her son was really sick of math so he carved poop into the table. It took me 4 months to find it and it makes me smile every time I see it now. Such a funny unique thing!
my dinning table is funky - its bar height heavy as all get out golden oak. it has the weathered bug eaten look but i'm okay with it as my kids are hard on my furniture. its a perfect 40" square without leaf and fits great in my apt dining room .. one day I'll get around to restaining it a light walnut color. the lady who sold it to me was moving cross country her kids were grown and wanted it to go to a great home . her kids did homework at that table, ate thanksgiving and everything at it. the lovely folks even helped us lug it into the pickup 6 chairs and all.
I watched this video while sitting on my bougie af down filled, bespoke $10k couch that we bought off Facebook marketplace for $500 a couple years ago. We also have a $5k signed by the weaver gorgeous rug that I bought off Craigslist many years ago for I think $90. Buying second hand is the only was I can afford to live my fantasy rich lady lifestyle 😂
Yes girl!! I am you but with clothes (as I have yet to master fb marketplace) but take me to a good resale store and it's game over. $120 Banana Republic trousers for $20, yes please! Oh, a $100 Windsor dress I can wear to my cousins wedding for $10 friggin done!
Yes, most of the time, brand new elements look terrible and cheap in a room full of "slightly used and worn" furniture. Most things can be completely sanitized before you bring them in your house. I bought a 12 x 14' rug that was perfect for my living room, for $15.00. I scrubbed the hell out of it in the driveway, front and back and literally hosed it off many times while my friend squeegeed it off. I live in FL so this has to be done in the Spring or Fall when there are very dry winds and sun so it can dry that same day. New, that rug would have cost well over 800, but it did take me the whole day to clean it. All sofa cushions have zippers so you can wash them but the trick it to put them back on while still wet. Same goes for draperies, hang them while wet, they will hang beautifully.
WARNING for those who love antique vintage glassware !! Super important to know , almost all vintage teacups, colored glass, especially crystal uses LEAD!! Yes lead. Here are some of the symtoms : Abdominal pain. Constipated. Tired. Headachy. Irritable. Loss of appetite. Memory loss. Pain or tingling in the hands and/or feet. Cognitive decline I LOVE vintage antique everything especially antique tea cups, crystal and colored glass as well but nearly all of it contained high amounts of lead. And you are literally drinking lead as it leeches off . So many studies on this throughout 90's. Remember those vintage 90's McDonald's Disney colored tinted glasses , so many children got poisoned from the Lead. This is why it got banned from being used and you will notice alot of dishware says "lead free" now. It's even more toxic and dangerous for children. Vintage painting and furniture contains lead as well, but the absolute worse is dishware as it's injected. My home is 95% second hand finds, in past year two of my favorite purchases were a green pinstripe settee and vintage retro dining chairs . After a few weeks of both I noticed above symtoms . Both were super toxic with lead dyes, and paint, and also spores from interior. They looked pristine and most maybe would not notice , but after living and using you start to notice not feeling that well, headache , congestion .. Please research , I am not exaggerating this . P.s love your channel
@Caroline, I’ve paused the video at 16 minutes to add another tip. Especially when you live in a big metro area. If you find something you really like on fb marketplace, you’re weighing whether or not to pursue it, I ALWAYS click on the seller pic of the item and see what else they’re listing to sell. Another item might make the trip to get said 1st item worthwhile. Or, you might see pics of their home in other listings and decide that you’re not up for the heeby jeeby cooties because their house was gross. But, I always check their seller profile because if you like the one item, maybe you have similar tastes. Or maybe they’re changing decor styles and have other curated pieces that can help you out. If so, there’s your foot in the door for trying to bargain.
Also, if you see something you really like from a seller, see what else they're selling. I've found the cutest things from the same seller and even told them to contact me if they come across more similar items. Love the video. My husband materialized out of no where to come watch with me.
Hahah such a good tip! And so true! I’ve found 1 seller that I email with from time to time asking about specific items Appreciate you AND your husband! 😍my favorite viewer couple 🙌
Another tip is to search for staging furniture! I've seen so many name brand furniture pieces (like basically brand new West Elm couches) listed for a discount because they were using for staging homes and they're barely used.
Another tip. Take a screenshot of the description and price just in case, that if they take it down while you are making plans to meet up, you still have your name, the price and description of times.
I check FBM first before anything these days, so much to choose from and I can put my money in a person/family’s hand directly. Wood furniture is 💯 the best deal around! My girls have twin vintage Jenny Linds and I’m obsessed with them still, five years later, $75 for the pairrrrrrr 🙌🏼
I'm a subscriber to your channel and love all the FB Market items in your beautiful home. The girls beds are very pretty, love the sconces you have above your fireplace also.
Really?? Wow I am jealous of your daughters 😅 I haven’t seen anyone with Jenny Linds! Maybe we are kindred spirits. And a deal like that makes it even more rewarding when you love them long term. 🙌❤️
This made me think of a video idea that would be really helpful to me, and maybe to others too, if you were interested in making it: How to extrapolate a full room design from the 3-4 pieces (for example, some amazing FB marketplace finds) that you know you want to incorporate somehow in the space.
I so understand having the small trinket box for next to the bed. I wear a mouthguard at night and spent YEARS trying to find the perfect (not overly expensive) marble box for it and it has increased my satisfaction looking at my bedroom arrangement so much. It makes such a difference those pieces
That alabaster trinket box was originally a powder box. I own the same one with the original vintage pouf inside :) My grandma owned an antique/thrift shop so I got tons of vintage things, now my mom owns the shop, or technically rents since she switched locations. I should mention, I don't use the box, I'm just a collector.
Historically most beds were "twins" or "doubles" but in the mid-1940s larger mattresses were introduced by manufacturers. These were later standardized as "queen" and "king", and first made a significant impact on the market in the 1950s and 60s.
Do you know why? Men coming home from WWII weren't the same men who left their wives behind anymore. The men had to re-acclimate to civilian/peace-time life and their wives had to get to know the men their husbands had become. Beds designed for good sleep hygiene/habits aren't great for intimacy. Women were considered frigid for not getting down to business as quickly as the men were ready to and cosleeping encourages intimacy. They needed to replace the fallen soldiers! I'm sure it also got folded into the whole agenda of making the future newer, shinier, and more stream lined. The New Ways and New Things and what not.
Good tips … here are some of mine: if you see something interesting, “save” it because sometimes it’s hard to find again. Pay attention to how long it’s been listed, if several weeks and I’m holding back due to price, I will make a lower offer. On upholstered furniture, go in close and sniff it before you buy. I bought a sofa in consignment shop and when I got it home and sat on it, could tell it had been in a storage facility a long time. It smelled like concrete. I intended to have it cleaned but the scent lingered even after I did. Also turn over furniture. Bought a chair a guy had in a storage place. He was ready for me even though I was early and had it up on a rolling cart. I sat on it but didn’t tip it over. He loaded it for me … so that I couldn’t see a spring was extended down. It won’t be used much but he didn’t come down on price and I grossly overpaid for a damaged chair. Because you can see the spring from across the room it limits where I can place it. And this wasn’t priced inexpensively. It was my own fault. When search, try many different ways. It’s odd how some people list furniture. Some people call nightstands “dressers.”
@driftwood, It is amazingly easy to retie springs, just look on RUclips. You just need a little twine, and you can see how the other springs are tied together. VERY easy fix here. OR an upholsterer can retie that spring for you, chances are, if that one spring came undone the others may be loose as well. It should cost you very little, but call in advance and get a price. This is NOT a big deal.
@@TheDriftwoodlover Yeah, not nice. But now not as stuck as you might think. Everybody is a victim to these people, maybe you've learned something at least? Hopefully the upholstery people will do it for you free. Good luck.
Yeah that guy definitely knew what he was doing! That sucks. Alternatively, I love when people are super up front about flaws, it makes me more interested in the item. I recently asked a lady about a buffet table and she basically told me (really nicely) to go look again and be sure about it bc it was really small, and even though she had listed the dimensions in the description she was right I hadn’t really considered them, bc it was too small. She sells a lot of stuff so she seemed to know intuitively that dummies like me may not be fully aware of _how small_ exactly. I’ve also found that men are more likely to rush you and more likely to lie or omit things, at least in Tennessee. Also in Tennessee, to your last point, I tend to see people misspell certain things certain ways so I will do a search for the things that I can’t stand to see but still see nonetheless, like “dinning room table” (it’s *insane* how common this mistake is) and another big one is “chester drawers” or “draws” like, what? stop that
@@rainbomg LOL. Chester drawers is how my family says it. I was probably in high school before I figured out that someone is “liable to” do something. If you spelled it how my family says it, someone is “lobbles to” do it.
I HIGHLY Endorse asking if someone would deliver it for an extra fee! I live in Chicago without a car and furnished an entire apartment from FB Marketplace and only had to pick up a dining table and nightstands. Every other item was delivered for like an extra $20
I agree about the antique beds! I have two very old family beds in my garage. The bed I sleep in is a lovely antique oak bed- double sized, that I bought for $11 at a farm auction in 1974.
You gave some really good tips for shopping on FBM. I am SO addicted to your videos, girl...you are a trip and a half. I could listen to you all day. Can't wait for your next video!!!
I only buy my garden pots and material off FM now because it's so much cheaper than buying it new. And they'll often already come with plants inside them or their own potting soil! Also, such an interesting point about smaller/rural areas vs big metros. I live in a small city in West Texas, so I have always assumed it was a disadvantage compared to somewhere like Austin, San Antonio, DFW or Houston. But we do have a lot of old, but high quality gently used items for sale here, that's true.
Early on in my FBM experience I bought a mirror that was described as LARGE. Sent my husband and son to collect in our pickup. It turned out to be 12 inches tall. I now always request measurements.
Another great tip which u sort of show in ur live shopping- save things u like even if theyre not quite right or the price u like. Not only will it let u know if the price drops but it helps the alg know u r into it and improves ur suggestions!
This is the BEST video on the topic out there! I am a pretty savvy thrifter/ vintage shopper so I roll my eyes at the “advice” that most videos give about it but you made so many great suggestions. Love your style and your personality
Msgs really late or really early …it comes up at the top of the sellers feed. Also the couch tip is gold! I scored a $3k leather couch for $75 (excellent condition)
My house is about 80% FBM decorated. I see certain chairs from Target that are always on sale on FBM and I avoid them. So agree with you on that. If 2-4 people are selling the same item......hmmmm. And I agree with you about no-no to items that are shipped. I only had ONE good experience with items that are shipped. My favorite FBM find, a mid-century desk that I bought for $25. Solid wood. Peg legs. Beautiful Maple color. Excellent condition. I was like, WHAT?!!!!!
Teal is the one color that looks good on all skin tones and hair color, so I've been told. It's great for a beach theme, but beyond that in homes it is a challenge, I think. I just made my first buy on FBmp for a lawyers bookcase that I've always wanted. I wasn't even really looking, but there it was. Everything you said is true. I enjoyed the short drive and getting to meet someone when we are new to the area, and hearing a bit about the piece she was selling. It had some light repair of the wood buttons that needed replacement and that was a 2-day small project, and makes it even more mine. It polished up beautifully and I'm so happy to have it. I love your channel since I found it yesterday. Never thought I'd want to listen to a designer because they all seem so unrealistic, non-practical, and trendy, all of which I am not. I wish I could convince my minimalism husband to watch your videos as we discuss how to furnish design this unique new home. All my antiques are relegated to my office and the spare bedroom! Thank you for at least getting me!
Yes! To ths glassware fetish 😍 I'm very particular about the shape and size of the glass I drink out of. I also "mourn"😄 when one of my favourites gets broken. As a long time thrifter, all your tips were spot on🤗
Hi. Caroline! That was a very helpful vid- thanks! One thing: be careful with antique "twin" sized beds. Some take a 3/4 size mattress, which are expensive and can be hard to find. Love the corner chair, and the cane bench. I like Jenny Lind ( Swedish opera singer) and Eastlake Victorian furniture, too. Hubby and l have Eastlake in the BR. Do you ever look around in thrift stores for cool stuff? That could make an interesting vid, if you ever have the time, that is! Keep up the good work, and keep steppin! 🌱🌸🌱 l believe in you!
I found and purchased an early 20th century (antique at this point) / pre-WWII Persian Mahal (lower quality of the artisan rugs) rug 17x6 ft rug on FB Marketplace for $75! It was in some rough shape but I didn’t want to pass on such a unique find! It’s beautiful. I got to talk to the seller and get to know a pleasant lady.
I am horrible with dimensions. I once bought a cool looking fake plant for a small fish tank, and the plant wound up being way too big for the tank, but what I wound up doing is sitting it on a floating shelf in front of a Himalayan salt lamp so the silhouette of the plant looks really cool at night in front of the lamp, then put a little figure a friend gave me standing under the tree..,. it creates a very peaceful scene and looks really unique. I love it now.
Expanding to other areas - perfection. We moved 30 minutes north, and it was only then that I realized that the nearby military city was a freaking gold mine. I wish I realized this years earlier!!
Loved this video!! The problem I have with Facebook Marketplace is trying to sell stuff. We're trying to downsize a little and have so much stuff that's in really good shape. Maybe you could do a selling tutorial? And thanks for being so freaking awesome!!!
Yessssss! I've purchased my best couches from FB marketplace!!! One was a red suede L sectional and another is a gorgeous next-to-new grey sofa. Both priced at STEALS! My worst one was from Ikea lol.
This was a super helpful video, thank you for sharing your expertise! I'd love to see an Etsy tips video too, you seem to find such gorgeous pieces on there and the website can be very overwhelming!
I share your aversion to teal. I know exactly where my dislike of the color comes from. As a kid, somehow I often got the crayon that was either blue-green or green-blue. They are the exact same color and very teal/aqua.
Not me watching this video being inspired to go on fb marketplace and finding not one but TWO pieces I’ve been dying to find (also I used Caroline’s format to message the sellers and they both got back to me within half an hour)
Love this! So many good tips, I can’t wait to use them!! I really want to incorporate more antique furniture in my apartment, but I sometimes feel lost about how to style it. I would love to hear your advice on styling antique furniture/items and how to make it all feel cohesive!
Youre so lucky bc I feel like a lot of things on fb market place in Texas are either way too expensive for what they're worth or they are sooooo tacky. One time I bought a cute chair with scuffs but I didn't care about that bc it was my first apartment. But guess what? The leg ended up being broken and what I bought it for was robbery. I was soooo mad hahah.
Super helpful, practical tips. Literally went on FB marketplace for the first time after watching this to use the tips and spotted some great stuff without it being too much.
I think many who instantly click on "Is this item available?" without expressing interest are just doing so to "bookmark" it for themselves. It initiates a conversation with the seller, even if they have no intention of following up immediately. But before I figured that out, I was 100% super annoyed to get those messages. I just stopped replying to them and only answer the ones with a real message. :-) This is a great video. Many of these tipes were very helpful. Thank you!!
Thank you for this, Caroline. I'm new to the concept but recently purchased 2 lamps for my sideboard for cheap! I love them and enjoyed meeting the former owner who gifted me magnolia leaves from her lawn and told me to come back and clip some for myself any time.
Another tip 😊 - if you're curious as to the brand, how much it goes for new, etc., screenshot the item and then use google lens to search the internet for that image! Super helpful
Bought my first FBMP purchase after watching your video. Scored the sweetest little kitchen chair to complete my mismatched set. I would NEVER have looked there if not for you.
I am very familiar with Pottery Barn merchandise. A few years ago someone listed a janky lamp as Pottery Barn (and asking an exorbitant price as well). I inquired what model it was as I wasn’t familiar with it. The seller angrily replied that she didn’t want to sell to me, lol. I did buy a $1200 Pottery Barn hand-knotted wool rug for $100 from a different seller. I have three cats 🐱 so I wanted a nice rug but wasn’t willing to pay a lot of money for it.
Thank you so much. This video was so helpful. Laughed out loud about lmk. I’m sure I would have spent too long trying to figure that out before calling my daughter to ask her. Love your name. My grandmother was Caroline Winkler.
Late to the party but made it! When I spot items I like on FM, I also click on the seller pic to see if there are other items available for sale because you can bargain price if buying more than one item from the same seller. You get me?
Love this video and LOVE a long solo drive!! Did we just become best friends?! No bc we both love long solo drives 🙃😅 In all your spare time that you don’t have, would you consider doing the following videos: 1. Combining furniture styles (I like eclectic, mid century m, boho and I find that I have a hard time pairing items and understand what is what and how to mesh it together 2. Favorite high quality furniture brands to look for when antiquing/thrifting/market placing (in addition to west elm and crate&barrel) Thank you!
Good Morning, Sunshine 🌞 ~ You are so freakin' funny, but also smart & informative ... Thanks for another great Saturday morning video - still in bed here at 10:00 am! 😏
It’s so annoying when I see listings called vintage, when they are clearly not. And, those dimensions! I hardly see them posted on a buffet or sideboard. Come on! I always have to ask for them and a lot of times I wait and almost immediately I see the item has sold. But, I did just score a buffet on market place and am thrilled. Great content. Yes to the Jenny Lind beds. I also like vintage metal beds. My son is sleeping in one and they are so cute painted a fun color. They always seem to be full sized beds (not queen), but it’s great because he has a smaller room, so it works. Why am I writing all this?!
I've just moved back to Pittsburgh (where I grew up) with NO furniture but a lot of Books, Music, and way too much Kitchen Stuff for a single woman. Also Bedding and things like Candlesticks, Art and Vases. But furnishing from scratch. Entirely from FBM and Craigslist. (aside from an unexpected Load from my Brother - full Bed, comfy Armchair, Side Table and Coffee Table) I am furnishing to suit the Apartment which is part of a former 'Grand Manse'. Pros - it's a big 1BR with a wall of Windows to the ceiling in LR. It's south-facing so.lots of light for my indoor Herb Garden. There's a niche in LR that's almost a room in itself and that's my office. BR is small but more than adequate and has a big west-facing Window. Cons - Small Kitchen and Bath. But OK. The price is great and it's safe and quiet. I don't have a car now, so I am happy to pay for delivery. I'm not looking for Projects - I've refinished lots of furniture in the past. Now time is limited and I want good quality and beauty at a reasonable price. FBM and Craigslist are the way to go!
Long, solo rides are absolutely crucial to my mental health. I love music, and my car drives incredibly. I specifically bought the make and model I did with that purpose in mind.
Hello sweet Caroline, we LOVE your helpful hints! We actually love looking on Facebook Marketplace, and duh, we never thought of putting "vintage" or "glassware" We always just kinda look through everything. That corner chair is awesome! We honestly have never seen a chair like that. As always, great video. Sending big hugs to you 😊
I know exactly what you mean about not liking the sound of silence. Have you ever tried a white noise machine? I have a little one on my nightstand that I sleep with every night. It does a great job at neutralizing silence, and intermittent sounds that keep me from falling asleep. Highly recommend!
Love secondhand furniture. I’ve purchased several high end pieces for less than IKEA or Target prices. Nearly all of my wood furniture is all hardwood, maple, cherry, birch. I never looked at upholstered furniture until a sofa caught my eye 6 years ago. I purchased this Ethan Allen sofa for $400. According to a sewed on tag under the cushions it was manufactured in Dec 2000. It was in perfect condition! One of my best finds. My 100lb dog uses it as his own bed. Family on it daily. Grandkids are always walking on it and jumping on and off. If I had spent $4000, I would be worried about that, but $400 gives me the freedom of letting us live on it. In spite of heavy use, it is still in great condition and looks good.
You look fabulous with out the side- bangs , girl!!!! ...( by the way) Thank you for all your great tips and tricks and opinions !!! Value your advice and thoughts and opinions alot now. Thank u!!
How do you avoid getting bed bugs by a FB marketplace couch? Currently implementing your tips to find a couch for my place! Thank you for sharing your personality and knowledge on the interwebs!
Okay, I know I’m watching all your older videos. But OMG, you are so right on point. I found my antique dining table and chairs an hour and 1/2 away, on FB Marketplace. I figured what the hey, my son lives there, I can visit after I pack the truck. Then, the second time I did that I went to an out of town estate sale and found an antique mall that was amazing before I landed the location to be a vendor at an antique fair. Wow, I killed a few birds with one stone. Yes, all your tips are awesome! And I learned a few good pointers for my next amazing find. I’m so obsessed with your channel. This is not good! Lol thanks Caroline!
New subscriber You truly make my day I love the way you talk You are so down to earth completely adored you that was an experience Thank you so much made my day 😊
With you on living a long solo drive. I drive between sf and la regularly and the blank stares I get when I tell them that I actually like it. 😂 I feel reborn every time 10/10
I love love love alone. My most productive and creative time, also restful and satisfied. Thanks for the FM advice, much needed since I end up all over the place for days.
Caroline, I used your tips and scoured marketplace for months and found a furniture liquidator that had the most beautiful white leather chaise with a double recliner! THANK YOU FOR SHARING THESE BRILLIANT HACKS!!v
My bf doesn't have FB for several valid, personal reasons, but he's always a little tempted to get back on when I score him something great for his place off Marketplace. It's my number 1 reason for still having a FB.
Love your videos ❤ if i remember correctly you once said your grandpa is from Vienna ,you should come and go to the Saturday Naschmarkt flea market , you will love it🥰
Love your videos, JUST discovered them today! You remind me of a cross between Emily Blunt and Jennifer Aniston.... Very quirky, BEAUTIFUL and engaging! Definitely going to hit the love, I mean the like button and subscribe! Thanks Caroline for making my day.... Blessings from South Texas! 😘😎
@@megjillm You're a total babe in my book.... I enjoy your fresh and vibrant energy! I'm a licensed funeral director here in Texas. The ONLY video I have on RUclips, Ceballos Funeral Home in McAllen. I'm a bit shy and I was a Lil nervous doing the short video. I'm also at Victoria Hearts dating site if you want to know more about me. Have a blessed day my friend! 😘😎
Thank you for this! On the topic if you should buy a truck, my friend has a membership with one of the local car share companies that has trucks in their fleet. He then can reserve a truck to pick stuff up, it is cheaper than owning a truck.
I love Facebook marketplace and have found some amazing pieces for my home. I agree with all the advice that you’ve given. Love your videos. Love your personality. You are so fun. Love from Toronto 💜😊👍🇨🇦
Don’t hesitate to walk away if you show up and the piece isn’t what you expected or has unpictutes damage. My passive self used to end up getting it anyway because I didn’t want to be rude. Then I realized the seller is the rude one for being misleading with the listing! They wasted your time, not the other way around.
True
Agreed, I have been there😂
Omgosh, I've bought many things I didn't end up liking only because I felt too bad to say no.
I am so glad to hear I’m not the only one who has done that. I’ll keep your tip in mind! Thx
It's sooo hard!!!
I got my dining room table off Facebook Marketplace, it was originally from pottery barn so probably very expensive. I only paid a couple hundred for a very nice solid wood dining table. The lady said her kids would always sit there and do homework and one day her son was really sick of math so he carved poop into the table. It took me 4 months to find it and it makes me smile every time I see it now. Such a funny unique thing!
What a funny story!
that's really funny, now you have both a conversation piece and a party game for when guests come over 😂 who can find the table poop first?
I'm a teacher and I think "poop" when I have to teach math. I don't blame that kid!!!
my dinning table is funky - its bar height heavy as all get out golden oak. it has the weathered bug eaten look but i'm okay with it as my kids are hard on my furniture. its a perfect 40" square without leaf and fits great in my apt dining room .. one day I'll get around to restaining it a light walnut color. the lady who sold it to me was moving cross country her kids were grown and wanted it to go to a great home . her kids did homework at that table, ate thanksgiving and everything at it. the lovely folks even helped us lug it into the pickup 6 chairs and all.
@cheroz1 🤣
I watched this video while sitting on my bougie af down filled, bespoke $10k couch that we bought off Facebook marketplace for $500 a couple years ago. We also have a $5k signed by the weaver gorgeous rug that I bought off Craigslist many years ago for I think $90. Buying second hand is the only was I can afford to live my fantasy rich lady lifestyle 😂
Yes girl!! I am you but with clothes (as I have yet to master fb marketplace) but take me to a good resale store and it's game over. $120 Banana Republic trousers for $20, yes please! Oh, a $100 Windsor dress I can wear to my cousins wedding for $10 friggin done!
Smart!!
Yes, most of the time, brand new elements look terrible and cheap in a room full of "slightly used and worn" furniture. Most things can be completely sanitized before you bring them in your house. I bought a 12 x 14' rug that was perfect for my living room, for $15.00. I scrubbed the hell out of it in the driveway, front and back and literally hosed it off many times while my friend squeegeed it off. I live in FL so this has to be done in the Spring or Fall when there are very dry winds and sun so it can dry that same day. New, that rug would have cost well over 800, but it did take me the whole day to clean it.
All sofa cushions have zippers so you can wash them but the trick it to put them back on while still wet. Same goes for draperies, hang them while wet, they will hang beautifully.
It's such a satisfying feeling to score such good deals. You must have a good eye!
I do that too! plus is helps save the environment !
WARNING for those who love antique vintage glassware !! Super important to know , almost all vintage teacups, colored glass, especially crystal uses LEAD!! Yes lead. Here are some of the symtoms : Abdominal pain.
Constipated.
Tired.
Headachy.
Irritable.
Loss of appetite.
Memory loss.
Pain or tingling in the hands and/or feet.
Cognitive decline
I LOVE vintage antique everything especially antique tea cups, crystal and colored glass as well but nearly all of it contained high amounts of lead. And you are literally drinking lead as it leeches off . So many studies on this throughout 90's. Remember those vintage 90's McDonald's Disney colored tinted glasses , so many children got poisoned from the Lead. This is why it got banned from being used and you will notice alot of dishware says "lead free" now. It's even more toxic and dangerous for children.
Vintage painting and furniture contains lead as well, but the absolute worse is dishware as it's injected.
My home is 95% second hand finds, in past year two of my favorite purchases were a green pinstripe settee and vintage retro dining chairs . After a few weeks of both I noticed above symtoms . Both were super toxic with lead dyes, and paint, and also spores from interior. They looked pristine and most maybe would not notice , but after living and using you start to notice not feeling that well, headache , congestion ..
Please research , I am not exaggerating this .
P.s love your channel
Whoooaaaa what a good tip!! Geez! Thanks for sharing this Dana, you’re lookin out for us!!😍😍
😱💗
I was thinking the same thing! Thanks for posting
Sounds a lot like poisoning...... which could be murder.
If 90s is vintage, then *I am* vintage a.f.!!
😫
@Caroline, I’ve paused the video at 16 minutes to add another tip. Especially when you live in a big metro area. If you find something you really like on fb marketplace, you’re weighing whether or not to pursue it, I ALWAYS click on the seller pic of the item and see what else they’re listing to sell. Another item might make the trip to get said 1st item worthwhile. Or, you might see pics of their home in other listings and decide that you’re not up for the heeby jeeby cooties because their house was gross. But, I always check their seller profile because if you like the one item, maybe you have similar tastes. Or maybe they’re changing decor styles and have other curated pieces that can help you out. If so, there’s your foot in the door for trying to bargain.
OO so strategic. love this
Also, if you see something you really like from a seller, see what else they're selling. I've found the cutest things from the same seller and even told them to contact me if they come across more similar items.
Love the video. My husband materialized out of no where to come watch with me.
Hahah such a good tip! And so true! I’ve found 1 seller that I email with from time to time asking about specific items
Appreciate you AND your husband! 😍my favorite viewer couple 🙌
Another tip is to search for staging furniture! I've seen so many name brand furniture pieces (like basically brand new West Elm couches) listed for a discount because they were using for staging homes and they're barely used.
That is brilliant!! :)
I get table, chairs, dressers from the side of the road. I would never do anything upholstered but for anything it's not on the curb is great.
Another tip. Take a screenshot of the description and price just in case, that if they take it down while you are making plans to meet up, you still have your name, the price and description of times.
that is an usefull tip, thanks!!
Haven’t enjoyed Saturday mornings this much since Saturday morning cartoons ☺️☺️☺️
same level of intellectual caliber!
Caroline posts new video, I stop everything and watch. Even though I don’t have FB , I just love listening to her talk. Truly makes my day
Marina! Your comment is the best way to start MY day
so true!
She's so real, and it's clever, and entertaining and INFORMATIVE! Great combination!
I agree! and i've just found her today and i've watched more than half a dozen in one day! uh oh!! she's addicting in a wonderful way!
I check FBM first before anything these days, so much to choose from and I can put my money in a person/family’s hand directly. Wood furniture is 💯 the best deal around! My girls have twin vintage Jenny Linds and I’m obsessed with them still, five years later, $75 for the pairrrrrrr 🙌🏼
I'm a subscriber to your channel and love all the FB Market items in your beautiful home. The girls beds are very pretty, love the sconces you have above your fireplace also.
@@lindaroyal8161 thank you so much Linda!
Really?? Wow I am jealous of your daughters 😅 I haven’t seen anyone with Jenny Linds! Maybe we are kindred spirits. And a deal like that makes it even more rewarding when you love them long term. 🙌❤️
This made me think of a video idea that would be really helpful to me, and maybe to others too, if you were interested in making it: How to extrapolate a full room design from the 3-4 pieces (for example, some amazing FB marketplace finds) that you know you want to incorporate somehow in the space.
Great idea!
His smile at the end when you walked out…he looked so genuinely happy 🥹
I so understand having the small trinket box for next to the bed. I wear a mouthguard at night and spent YEARS trying to find the perfect (not overly expensive) marble box for it and it has increased my satisfaction looking at my bedroom arrangement so much.
It makes such a difference those pieces
That alabaster trinket box was originally a powder box. I own the same one with the original vintage pouf inside :) My grandma owned an antique/thrift shop so I got tons of vintage things, now my mom owns the shop, or technically rents since she switched locations.
I should mention, I don't use the box, I'm just a collector.
That woulda been my dream gram❤
Historically most beds were "twins" or "doubles" but in the mid-1940s larger mattresses were introduced by manufacturers. These were later standardized as "queen" and "king", and first made a significant impact on the market in the 1950s and 60s.
Also the historic "full" could be a different size as it might be shorter
Do you know why? Men coming home from WWII weren't the same men who left their wives behind anymore. The men had to re-acclimate to civilian/peace-time life and their wives had to get to know the men their husbands had become. Beds designed for good sleep hygiene/habits aren't great for intimacy. Women were considered frigid for not getting down to business as quickly as the men were ready to and cosleeping encourages intimacy. They needed to replace the fallen soldiers! I'm sure it also got folded into the whole agenda of making the future newer, shinier, and more stream lined. The New Ways and New Things and what not.
Good tips … here are some of mine: if you see something interesting, “save” it because sometimes it’s hard to find again. Pay attention to how long it’s been listed, if several weeks and I’m holding back due to price, I will make a lower offer. On upholstered furniture, go in close and sniff it before you buy. I bought a sofa in consignment shop and when I got it home and sat on it, could tell it had been in a storage facility a long time. It smelled like concrete. I intended to have it cleaned but the scent lingered even after I did. Also turn over furniture. Bought a chair a guy had in a storage place. He was ready for me even though I was early and had it up on a rolling cart. I sat on it but didn’t tip it over. He loaded it for me … so that I couldn’t see a spring was extended down. It won’t be used much but he didn’t come down on price and I grossly overpaid for a damaged chair. Because you can see the spring from across the room it limits where I can place it. And this wasn’t priced inexpensively. It was my own fault. When search, try many different ways. It’s odd how some people list furniture. Some people call nightstands “dressers.”
@driftwood, It is amazingly easy to retie springs, just look on RUclips. You just need a little twine, and you can see how the other springs are tied together. VERY easy fix here. OR an upholsterer can retie that spring for you, chances are, if that one spring came undone the others may be loose as well. It should cost you very little, but call in advance and get a price. This is NOT a big deal.
@@rockshot100 Thanks for the tip! I am going to reupholster some other chairs so will ask then. If I’d known, I would not have paid whatI did.😒
@@TheDriftwoodlover Yeah, not nice. But now not as stuck as you might think. Everybody is a victim to these people, maybe you've learned something at least? Hopefully the upholstery people will do it for you free. Good luck.
Yeah that guy definitely knew what he was doing! That sucks. Alternatively, I love when people are super up front about flaws, it makes me more interested in the item. I recently asked a lady about a buffet table and she basically told me (really nicely) to go look again and be sure about it bc it was really small, and even though she had listed the dimensions in the description she was right I hadn’t really considered them, bc it was too small. She sells a lot of stuff so she seemed to know intuitively that dummies like me may not be fully aware of _how small_ exactly. I’ve also found that men are more likely to rush you and more likely to lie or omit things, at least in Tennessee.
Also in Tennessee, to your last point, I tend to see people misspell certain things certain ways so I will do a search for the things that I can’t stand to see but still see nonetheless, like “dinning room table” (it’s *insane* how common this mistake is) and another big one is “chester drawers” or “draws” like, what? stop that
@@rainbomg LOL. Chester drawers is how my family says it. I was probably in high school before I figured out that someone is “liable to” do something. If you spelled it how my family says it, someone is “lobbles to” do it.
I HIGHLY Endorse asking if someone would deliver it for an extra fee! I live in Chicago without a car and furnished an entire apartment from FB Marketplace and only had to pick up a dining table and nightstands. Every other item was delivered for like an extra $20
ooo such a good deal ;)
ooh I do the same!
I agree about the antique beds!
I have two very old family beds in my garage. The bed I sleep in is a lovely antique oak bed- double sized, that I bought for $11 at a farm auction in 1974.
You gave some really good tips for shopping on FBM. I am SO addicted to your videos, girl...you are a trip and a half. I could listen to you all day. Can't wait for your next video!!!
aw DJ thank u!
I only buy my garden pots and material off FM now because it's so much cheaper than buying it new. And they'll often already come with plants inside them or their own potting soil! Also, such an interesting point about smaller/rural areas vs big metros. I live in a small city in West Texas, so I have always assumed it was a disadvantage compared to somewhere like Austin, San Antonio, DFW or Houston. But we do have a lot of old, but high quality gently used items for sale here, that's true.
Loved your tips!!! But I swear I enjoyed your humor so much more! You are priceless!!!
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Early on in my FBM experience I bought a mirror that was described as LARGE. Sent my husband and son to collect in our pickup. It turned out to be 12 inches tall. I now always request measurements.
😂😂🙌
Another great tip which u sort of show in ur live shopping- save things u like even if theyre not quite right or the price u like. Not only will it let u know if the price drops but it helps the alg know u r into it and improves ur suggestions!
love this, SO true!
This is the BEST video on the topic out there! I am a pretty savvy thrifter/ vintage shopper so I roll my eyes at the “advice” that most videos give about it but you made so many great suggestions. Love your style and your personality
Msgs really late or really early …it comes up at the top of the sellers feed. Also the couch tip is gold! I scored a $3k leather couch for $75 (excellent condition)
You lucky devil!! Nice!!!
You’re a breathe of fresh air. I look forward to your videos.
Watching your new video has become a part of my Saturday morning routine and I love it! Hope you have a great weekend.
Same!!
this makes me freakin happy
Same ❤️
My house is about 80% FBM decorated. I see certain chairs from Target that are always on sale on FBM and I avoid them. So agree with you on that. If 2-4 people are selling the same item......hmmmm. And I agree with you about no-no to items that are shipped. I only had ONE good experience with items that are shipped. My favorite FBM find, a mid-century desk that I bought for $25. Solid wood. Peg legs. Beautiful Maple color. Excellent condition. I was like, WHAT?!!!!!
Teal is the one color that looks good on all skin tones and hair color, so I've been told. It's great for a beach theme, but beyond that in homes it is a challenge, I think. I just made my first buy on FBmp for a lawyers bookcase that I've always wanted. I wasn't even really looking, but there it was. Everything you said is true. I enjoyed the short drive and getting to meet someone when we are new to the area, and hearing a bit about the piece she was selling. It had some light repair of the wood buttons that needed replacement and that was a 2-day small project, and makes it even more mine. It polished up beautifully and I'm so happy to have it. I love your channel since I found it yesterday. Never thought I'd want to listen to a designer because they all seem so unrealistic, non-practical, and trendy, all of which I am not. I wish I could convince my minimalism husband to watch your videos as we discuss how to furnish design this unique new home. All my antiques are relegated to my office and the spare bedroom! Thank you for at least getting me!
Yes! To ths glassware fetish 😍
I'm very particular about the shape and size of the glass I drink out of. I also "mourn"😄 when one of my favourites gets broken. As a long time thrifter, all your tips were spot on🤗
Hahahaha the mourning 😂I honestly can’t afford the time to mourn all the things I break. It would take up my whole life
Before a purchase, i have to ask myself, am I gonna be too sad if it breaks?
Teal is my favourite colour x
Hi. Caroline! That was a very helpful vid- thanks! One thing: be careful with antique "twin" sized beds. Some take a 3/4 size mattress, which are expensive and can be hard to find. Love the corner chair, and the cane bench. I like Jenny Lind ( Swedish opera singer) and Eastlake Victorian furniture, too. Hubby and l have Eastlake in the BR. Do you ever look around in thrift stores for cool stuff? That could make an interesting vid, if you ever have the time, that is! Keep up the good work, and keep steppin! 🌱🌸🌱 l believe in you!
Always so supportive, thanks Jane!!❤️❤️such good tips. And I definitely shop in thrift stores!! I’d love to make a video about it. Big hug to you😍😍😍
Just scored the prettiest and heaviest 😅 antique mirror for my hallway AND a vintage FREE dresser thanks to your suggestions 🤍
yesssssss
@@Caroline_Winkler and tow lamps 🥳😅 Thank you.
Glad! So glad! That FINALLY! I’ve encountered someone who reacts like I do to good design - “That’s what I’m talkin’ ‘bout!” And “Hell yeah!” 🙌
“Oo! This freegan lil’ beaded detail, this inlay…” yep 💯
I totally keep my earplugs in a blue and white chinoiserie ceramic ring box. I love that I get to use it every night.
Well, nothing really new to say. Love the content, the humor. Basicly everything.
Haha Lilly I love you thank you
I found and purchased an early 20th century (antique at this point) / pre-WWII Persian Mahal (lower quality of the artisan rugs) rug 17x6 ft rug on FB Marketplace for $75! It was in some rough shape but I didn’t want to pass on such a unique find! It’s beautiful. I got to talk to the seller and get to know a pleasant lady.
I am horrible with dimensions. I once bought a cool looking fake plant for a small fish tank, and the plant wound up being way too big for the tank, but what I wound up doing is sitting it on a floating shelf in front of a Himalayan salt lamp so the silhouette of the plant looks really cool at night in front of the lamp, then put a little figure a friend gave me standing under the tree..,. it creates a very peaceful scene and looks really unique. I love it now.
Expanding to other areas - perfection. We moved 30 minutes north, and it was only then that I realized that the nearby military city was a freaking gold mine. I wish I realized this years earlier!!
Loved this video!! The problem I have with Facebook Marketplace is trying to sell stuff. We're trying to downsize a little and have so much stuff that's in really good shape. Maybe you could do a selling tutorial? And thanks for being so freaking awesome!!!
If you search RUclips, I’ll bet you can find some sellers guides. Best of luck to you!
Yessssss! I've purchased my best couches from FB marketplace!!! One was a red suede L sectional and another is a gorgeous next-to-new grey sofa. Both priced at STEALS! My worst one was from Ikea lol.
"teal, the colour of gangrene" - i love the colour teal, but also can never hear the word without thinking of this quote from The Wedding Planner.
Very informative. I have been on Marketplace but I found more of what I am interested in using your tips. Thank you !
that's awesome im so glad!
This was a super helpful video, thank you for sharing your expertise! I'd love to see an Etsy tips video too, you seem to find such gorgeous pieces on there and the website can be very overwhelming!
I share your aversion to teal. I know exactly where my dislike of the color comes from. As a kid, somehow I often got the crayon that was either blue-green or green-blue. They are the exact same color and very teal/aqua.
Not me watching this video being inspired to go on fb marketplace and finding not one but TWO pieces I’ve been dying to find (also I used Caroline’s format to message the sellers and they both got back to me within half an hour)
Love this! So many good tips, I can’t wait to use them!! I really want to incorporate more antique furniture in my apartment, but I sometimes feel lost about how to style it. I would love to hear your advice on styling antique furniture/items and how to make it all feel cohesive!
Youre so lucky bc I feel like a lot of things on fb market place in Texas are either way too expensive for what they're worth or they are sooooo tacky. One time I bought a cute chair with scuffs but I didn't care about that bc it was my first apartment. But guess what? The leg ended up being broken and what I bought it for was robbery. I was soooo mad hahah.
Super helpful, practical tips. Literally went on FB marketplace for the first time after watching this to use the tips and spotted some great stuff without it being too much.
I think many who instantly click on "Is this item available?" without expressing interest are just doing so to "bookmark" it for themselves. It initiates a conversation with the seller, even if they have no intention of following up immediately. But before I figured that out, I was 100% super annoyed to get those messages. I just stopped replying to them and only answer the ones with a real message. :-) This is a great video. Many of these tipes were very helpful. Thank you!!
Thank you for this, Caroline. I'm new to the concept but recently purchased 2 lamps for my sideboard for cheap! I love them and enjoyed meeting the former owner who gifted me magnolia leaves from her lawn and told me to come back and clip some for myself any time.
Caroline you would not believe the vintage finds I got from FB marketplace! Yes, your tips are 💯 that’s exactly how I’ve scored
That’s awesome, I’m glad you’ve had luck on there🥰
Love it that you started talking about murder!!! Sitting laughing out loud by myself! 🤣
Another tip 😊 - if you're curious as to the brand, how much it goes for new, etc., screenshot the item and then use google lens to search the internet for that image! Super helpful
Bought my first FBMP purchase after watching your video. Scored the sweetest little kitchen chair to complete my mismatched set. I would NEVER have looked there if not for you.
I am very familiar with Pottery Barn merchandise. A few years ago someone listed a janky lamp as Pottery Barn (and asking an exorbitant price as well). I inquired what model it was as I wasn’t familiar with it. The seller angrily replied that she didn’t want to sell to me, lol. I did buy a $1200 Pottery Barn hand-knotted wool rug for $100 from a different seller. I have three cats 🐱 so I wanted a nice rug but wasn’t willing to pay a lot of money for it.
Thank you so much. This video was so helpful. Laughed out loud about lmk. I’m sure I would have spent too long trying to figure that out before calling my daughter to ask her. Love your name. My grandmother was Caroline Winkler.
Late to the party but made it! When I spot items I like on FM, I also click on the seller pic to see if there are other items available for sale because you can bargain price if buying more than one item from the same seller. You get me?
Love this video and LOVE a long solo drive!! Did we just become best friends?! No bc we both love long solo drives 🙃😅
In all your spare time that you don’t have, would you consider doing the following videos: 1. Combining furniture styles (I like eclectic, mid century m, boho and I find that I have a hard time pairing items and understand what is what and how to mesh it together 2. Favorite high quality furniture brands to look for when antiquing/thrifting/market placing (in addition to west elm and crate&barrel)
Thank you!
Thank you, this was helpful. I often get overwhelmed on FMP but this really helped me figure it out.
Glad it helped!
Your humor makes me smile.
Good Morning, Sunshine 🌞 ~ You are so freakin' funny, but also smart & informative ... Thanks for another great Saturday morning video - still in bed here at 10:00 am! 😏
It’s so annoying when I see listings called vintage, when they are clearly not. And, those dimensions! I hardly see them posted on a buffet or sideboard. Come on! I always have to ask for them and a lot of times I wait and almost immediately I see the item has sold. But, I did just score a buffet on market place and am thrilled. Great content. Yes to the Jenny Lind beds. I also like vintage metal beds. My son is sleeping in one and they are so cute painted a fun color. They always seem to be full sized beds (not queen), but it’s great because he has a smaller room, so it works. Why am I writing all this?!
As someone who divested from Facebook years ago, I just watch people's FBM hauls with envy.
I joined Facebook ONLY to go on the Market Place. I don’t have a photo,profile,posts,nothing!
❤love it. Keep to your truth and you will make it at everything you touch. Bless you from Sydney, Au. 💐
I've just moved back to Pittsburgh (where I grew up) with NO furniture but a lot of Books, Music, and way too much Kitchen Stuff for a single woman. Also Bedding and things like Candlesticks, Art and Vases. But furnishing from scratch. Entirely from FBM and Craigslist. (aside from an unexpected Load from my Brother - full Bed, comfy Armchair, Side Table and Coffee Table)
I am furnishing to suit the Apartment which is part of a former 'Grand Manse'.
Pros - it's a big 1BR with a wall of Windows to the ceiling in LR. It's south-facing so.lots of light for my indoor Herb Garden. There's a niche in LR that's almost a room in itself and that's my office. BR is small but more than adequate and has a big west-facing Window.
Cons - Small Kitchen and Bath. But OK. The price is great and it's safe and quiet.
I don't have a car now, so I am happy to pay for delivery. I'm not looking for Projects - I've refinished lots of furniture in the past. Now time is limited and I want good quality and beauty at a reasonable price.
FBM and Craigslist are the way to go!
Long, solo rides are absolutely crucial to my mental health. I love music, and my car drives incredibly. I specifically bought the make and model I did with that purpose in mind.
Seeing your video post just made my Saturday morning!!
😍
Hello sweet Caroline, we LOVE your helpful hints! We actually love looking on Facebook Marketplace, and duh, we never thought of putting "vintage" or "glassware" We always just kinda look through everything. That corner chair is awesome! We honestly have never seen a chair like that. As always, great video. Sending big hugs to you 😊
Long Solo Drive=Same!!! I always get the best ideas on those drives!
I know exactly what you mean about not liking the sound of silence. Have you ever tried a white noise machine? I have a little one on my nightstand that I sleep with every night. It does a great job at neutralizing silence, and intermittent sounds that keep me from falling asleep. Highly recommend!
I also love a long car ride on my own 😅 it’s soo peaceful 😊
Love secondhand furniture. I’ve purchased several high end pieces for less than IKEA or Target prices. Nearly all of my wood furniture is all hardwood, maple, cherry, birch. I never looked at upholstered furniture until a sofa caught my eye 6 years ago. I purchased this Ethan Allen sofa for $400. According to a sewed on tag under the cushions it was manufactured in Dec 2000. It was in perfect condition! One of my best finds. My 100lb dog uses it as his own bed. Family on it daily. Grandkids are always walking on it and jumping on and off. If I had spent $4000, I would be worried about that, but $400 gives me the freedom of letting us live on it. In spite of heavy use, it is still in great condition and looks good.
I'm with you 💯 on the "solo drive" my happiest place. My mood changes immensely sometimes!
😂 why are we literally the same person? I love hands, and solo drives. Forever subscribed.
Great tips Miss Caroline. I’m a new seller…and buyer. I allowed a trade for groceries 😊
I had to type "weird" in...so fun!😊
You look fabulous with out the side- bangs , girl!!!! ...( by the way)
Thank you for all your great tips and tricks and opinions !!! Value your advice and thoughts and opinions alot now. Thank u!!
How do you avoid getting bed bugs by a FB marketplace couch? Currently implementing your tips to find a couch for my place! Thank you for sharing your personality and knowledge on the interwebs!
Nice video today 👍. I am a big fan of the FB Marketplace. It gives you a much better story than "I bought it at Ikea".
Perfect timing - I keep finding things and then chicken out on pulling the trigger. Thanks Caroline!
Okay, I know I’m watching all your older videos. But OMG, you are so right on point. I found my antique dining table and chairs an hour and 1/2 away, on FB Marketplace. I figured what the hey, my son lives there, I can visit after I pack the truck. Then, the second time I did that I went to an out of town estate sale and found an antique mall that was amazing before I landed the location to be a vendor at an antique fair. Wow, I killed a few birds with one stone. Yes, all your tips are awesome! And I learned a few good pointers for my next amazing find. I’m so obsessed with your channel. This is not good! Lol thanks Caroline!
New subscriber You truly make my day I love the way you talk You are so down to earth completely adored you that was an experience Thank you so much made my day 😊
I am in need of a standing desk and didn't even think to check Facebook Marketplace. Thank you Caroline!
With you on living a long solo drive. I drive between sf and la regularly and the blank stares I get when I tell them that I actually like it. 😂 I feel reborn every time 10/10
I love love love alone. My most productive and creative time, also restful and satisfied. Thanks for the FM advice, much needed since I end up all over the place for days.
I like your point of view on glassware.
Caroline, I used your tips and scoured marketplace for months and found a furniture liquidator that had the most beautiful white leather chaise with a double recliner! THANK YOU FOR SHARING THESE BRILLIANT HACKS!!v
Enjoyed your comments-good tips!
Every video is a surprise! I love it!
tryna keep it random 4 lyfe :)
My bf doesn't have FB for several valid, personal reasons, but he's always a little tempted to get back on when I score him something great for his place off Marketplace. It's my number 1 reason for still having a FB.
Very, very helpful. I never knew some of this stuff.
Love your videos ❤ if i remember correctly you once said your grandpa is from Vienna ,you should come and go to the Saturday Naschmarkt flea market , you will love it🥰
Love your videos, JUST discovered them today! You remind me of a cross between Emily Blunt and Jennifer Aniston.... Very quirky, BEAUTIFUL and engaging! Definitely going to hit the love, I mean the like button and subscribe! Thanks Caroline for making my day.... Blessings from South Texas! 😘😎
I get major Zoey Deschanel vibes. Especially now with the bangs!
@@megjillm You're a total babe in my book.... I enjoy your fresh and vibrant energy! I'm a licensed funeral director here in Texas. The ONLY video I have on RUclips, Ceballos Funeral Home in McAllen. I'm a bit shy and I was a Lil nervous doing the short video. I'm also at Victoria Hearts dating site if you want to know more about me. Have a blessed day my friend! 😘😎
Great video! Honestly, no surprise there. Your videos are always great!
bish thank you!
Thank you for this! On the topic if you should buy a truck, my friend has a membership with one of the local car share companies that has trucks in their fleet. He then can reserve a truck to pick stuff up, it is cheaper than owning a truck.
Excellent tips. How often have I see a cool piece of furniture on Ebay and then noticed it was actually dollhouse furniture;-))
Excellent tips, I really appreciate some of the tips you've shared and never thought about to score great deals. TY
I love Facebook marketplace and have found some amazing pieces for my home. I agree with all the advice that you’ve given. Love your videos. Love your personality. You are so fun. Love from Toronto 💜😊👍🇨🇦
