    OK I’m walking and I’m a few minutes into your video. I had planned on staying home and getting some listing done and not going out sourcing since I have way too much stuff, but now I’m debating going to an estate sale that had some nice things and everything is half price today.😊😊

    As always K learned from your Vlog especially the Robert Graham. TYSM! As you say, if the yard sales aren't there, on to the Thrift! Did love the seagrass Llama (so boho) and the Blue & White Ginger Jar on the shelves and the last Kendra piece you saw - the glaze was gorgeous. Thanks again for the knowledge and the fun!

    Broken Antlers: my son-in law takes mis-matched and broken antlers and sells them on line in pieces under 12”, to keep shipping costs down (uses Med Flat Rate Boxes). The target audience are folks who make handmade knives, with antler handles and crafters who slice them into rounds on a bandsaw to made unique buttons. Takes the broken, mis-matched pieces and still turns a profit.

You have a great eye and such a wonderful way of looking at things 😊 My daughter and I went to 2 community yard sales yesterday and also ended up going to thrift stores instead. Had a couple small finds but I think the weather here also discouraged the sellers 🤷‍♀️ I did find a PBK sheet set at the thrift store for $3.50 and a duvet cover for $2.50 that I never would have thought to pick up if not for you! I’ll let you know how I do with those 😊

    My theory is that everyone purged during the last couple of years during Covid. That is why we did so good at thrift stores then, but our neighborhood sales now have been only a couple of people participating. Has been disappointing. Miss bringing home a car load.

      100% correct . After "lockdown" ended - that Spring was AMAZING - it was clear people stayed home and cleaned. & prep for yard sales. I got a sterling silver service set in wooden case for $20.00 ! ( did they confused silver PLATE w/ sterling ?) that season ! That will cause a "shortage" for sure . However - Goodwill is ALWAYS a short . The manager's are TRAINED on what to "hold back". My Goodwill is baby clothes & clear glass. That's IT. $10.00 for a plain Forever 21 denim jacket - used. FIND a flea market . More colorful , odd and UNUSUAL & more VINTAGE .

      That said , 2 days ago I found a vintage 1950s "atomic lamp" and 1950s plug in Santa figure at a yard sale 2 days ago - so good stuff is still out there - you just have to try 4 times as hard to find it.

    I have a candle like that coiled one you showed. Mine is smaller & is the shape of a beehive with bumble bees all over it. I received it as a gift & have only burned it a few times. It does work, but you have to manually turn the wax coil to move the unburnt wax up. Just fyi :)

    • @PeggyMiesko-xd5dx
      @PeggyMiesko-xd5dx Год назад +1

      I have one also- it’s called a “ courting candle”. Way back when, when a boy came to court a girl, her father would wind up enough coil for a short visit- when the flame went out, it was time for the boy to leave. An inch = 20 minutes or something.

      My theory is that at the end of a sale it’s all going to be donated to a thrift store anyway. People don’t want to bring the stuff back inside once the sale is over. Here in the south, haggling is part of the yard sale game.

    I often pick up mini frames, (and frames in general) new and vintage and when I can find the antique ones at a reasonable resale price, those are the most prized ones. The truly antique mini frames in good shape can resell for $20 - $30 plus, are easy to ship and people are looking for them. ( Karen, I know you don’t do this but for any viewers/resellers who may read this: Please do Buy it Now on this and other specialty items…do not give these away for a few dollars in a low starting bid price auction with low numbers of bidders….no matter what Ebay recommends.)😊

    I offered a flea marketer $20 for a shoebox of Peppa Pig figures marked at 2/$1.00 . She refused to sell because the figures were "good money makers for her and she'd take them to the next sale next week". So I stood there and counted out the ones I wanted, taking out the duplicates and damaged pieces, and paid $13.00 for the pieces I bought. There were 8 left, or $4.00 worth. / sometimes I don't think people think things through well.

The scarf would be easy ..$7.00 (thrift stores seem to REALLY over-charge for Marshall's / T.J. Maxx type scarves thinking they're Hermes scarves) .
