Thrift Store Visit in Norway - Hunting for the Old Blind Lady Embroidery- by ARNE & CARLOS

- Опубликовано: 5 ноя 2022
- Today we take you on a trip to one of our local thrift stores. This is the exact store where Arne found the dead old blind ladies' second hand embroidery.
Finally we are able to bring you to a thrift store in Norway. And who knows, maybe we will find the origins of the dead old blind lady. We have talked about her and her embroidery for a while in our Sit and Knit for a Bit podcasts, and are very happy that we can finally show you where we found them.
We hope to inspire you to hunting for treasures in your local thrift store!

That thrift store looks like yet another excuse for a trip to Norway!
My thoughts exactly!!
I’m already dreaming of my future visit to Norway! I hope it’s soon!
Yes that would be lovely.
Im so proud of Arne finishing the projects he buys, As a lot of people just collect and never finish.
It's good to see projects being finished, and sometimes in unexpected ways. The question I have is, does Arne finish all the projects, or is he slowing building up a stash of projects others have started.
I love the way Arne modernizes these old needlepoint canvases and gives them new life. I’d love to see a whole episode where he shows us how he design and picks the colors and background pattern to work with the original motif.
So beautiful and original. I love it!
Love “Thrift Shopping with Arne and Carlos” ! Many more please!
Thank you for taking us along with you on your thrift store visit. I love the idea of Arne "saving" unfinished projects and giving them a new life. Wherever the lady/ladies is/are who started them, I'm sure she/they will be pleased!
I am just knitting up wool I obtained from freecycle in UK. a half made project that someone got fed up of.. Lovely Aran sweater being resurrected....
What an interesting thrift shop I love it
This episode was like a Nancy Drew novel: The Mystery of the Unfinished Embroidery Projects! 😅 Hope you have a good trip in America. ❤❤❤
Thanks for taking us on your thrift shop trip. Honestly, I think your needlepoint/embroidery pieces come from several people, not just one. Glad you are giving them life.
Arne's finished projects are such an improvement over what they would have originally been! I loved this episode. I think you should take us yarn shopping some time!
So fascinating to see the inside of a thrift shop in another country. Thank you
I love thrifting, too! There’s just something special about giving an object a second chance.
Arne’s finished embroidery is outstanding!! Just beautiful.
My mother was an seamstress, taught me to knit & great with crafts. When we were selling items from house after my parents had both died, a stranger asked me if we had any unfinished embroidery for sale. We happily gifted it to her, pleased that my mother's work would be cared for by another. I really enjoyed & appreciated this episode 💖. Reminder of my darling Mother
Loved that visit to the thrift store! How well maintained and organized the shop is; that demands a huge commitment.
Arne, maybe you and Carlos will do a session to verbalize how you plan new background designs for the found pieces. How you determine the shapes, colors and whether you design as you stitch or put it on paper or computer first. I, for one, would love to hear you talk through your methodology. Both of you have such multifaceted talents. Well done today. Thank you for the glimpse into the village. You are appreciated!
It’s a mystery story and scavenger hunt all in one. We are intrigued and can’t wait to see the next installment. ❤
Arne, the Dead Old Blind lady would be so thrilled if she could see the beautiful way you have finished her work! Carlos, you were very self controlled and didn't buy a thing.😂 I would have grabbed the spinning wheel I saw at one point, as I've always wanted one. Thank you for taking us with you!
“On this weeks episode: Watch as Arne &. Carlos are taken down by police for stalking in the bushes” 😂😂😂😂😂😂 ahhh love you both so much. You just absolutely brighten my day❤
Thank you!!
Yes, I love seeing what catches their eye and what they want to take home. Their interests vary quite a bit. They’re both so intriguing. And so adorable to watch. 💕
It’s so sweet you’re finishing these projects, Arne. Just think if that person knew you were doing this! They’d be so touched & honored.
We hope so.
Your enthusiasm is infectious Arne! I love how you look at something discarded with your artist eye. And how you have time for all you do makes me wonder if you ever sleep?! Love the episode -was planning to knit and listen but it was too interesting!
Thank you so much Cindy!
It’s so nice to see Arne finish the embroidery so beautifully. Giving the article a second home❤️❤️
OMG Arne.... I have little ( not so little) boxes and suitcases just like this... My socks are knitted from thrift shop wool finds... I can't leave stuff that someone has put their heart and soul into making.... I am there with you in that thrift shop... What a lovely place to pootle around.
It is!
How fun to thrift with Arne and Carlos! What a delightful store ❤
I love, love, LOVE the pillows. They are little masterpieces.
When I lived in Hawaii I went to a thrift shop and found this beautiful crewel embroidery kit that wasn't done but all the yarn was with it. I finished it and just love it and have it framed in a cola wood frame with a blue matting and it is so beautiful. So fun to find things in a thrift store
Arne & Carlos very very inspiring podcast ...Arne you are very gifted with your hands . Carlos I live way you support Arne creativity.
Well done...💞💞💞💞💖💖💖
Another great podcast. Loved the thrift store. Arne, that is so good of you to finish the projects. They look beautiful. You are so talented.
I love how Arne delights in finding treasures. Then he's creative in finishing leftover projects
I loved this episode, thrift shopping with both of you is such fun! Those embroidery finds are such treasures Arne. More thrift shopping trips please! 🧶🧵🍂
Please show more of these videos in the different towns you visit. So interesting. Arne, you paid so little for such lovely UFO's. Well done.
I can't get my own projects finished, much less finishing someone else's. This is admirable!
I LOVE thrift store shopping!!! I can always find something I "need" for crafting!
I love it when Arne said: I think i have this but I think i take it....
Hey, Arne and Carlos!Don't assume the work was not done by a talented man. The best needlepoint I have ever seen was stitched by men. A famous American Football player, Rosie Greer, always won multiple prizes at the annual Los Angeles shows. In the 1980's, a lot of 'aerospace' men were laid off and several began to attend the workshops at local shops. They were masters at reading charts because they had written so much of the early computer coding and programming. I know a local man who works 5 hours a day at needlepoint that has such tiny stitches the completed piece looks as if it were a painting.
Don't sell yourselves short. Just look at the creative juxtaposition of those soft cats basking amongst spiky hounds' teeth. Genius!
Thank you, enjoyed this one very much. Lots of giggles about mystery lady. 😄
😂😂😂😂 what a wonderful episode!!!! Arne and Carlos Holmes!!!!
Yay! This was an awesome episode! I love Arne’s needlepoint projects! It was so fun to go thrifting with you guys!
Thank you for tagging along!
That thrift shop looks amazing, Aladdin's cave! Such a great idea to finish canvases from there and probably saving some money too. And supporting a charity, win,win,win!
Arne I'm Happy U got all them Joy's too Enjoy and Do, Finish, Great Job adding Ur Touch too all!!!
Watching this whilst working on cross stitching I bought a year ago. I don’t know how Arne gets so much done. 👏🏻😻
Thank you for taking us shopping with you!
Hope you are enjoying your time in the USA and get a chance to rest and relax. ❤️😘
You take those sad, unfinished embroideries and give them a new and happy life!
I've been watching you a long time. It's interesting to see Arne's thought process when he's thrift shopping. I loved Carlos' shock and horror at Arne's suitcase!
Especially enjoyed this video - haven't thrifted or been antiquing since Covid, and I forgot how much I missed it! Old needlework supplies, patterns and UFOs are my favorite thing to look for (pretty dishes are second). I'm sure the dead old blind lady would be thrilled to know her precious UFOs went to someone who appreciated and will finish them. ♥
I remember thrift shopping every week. I started collecting crocheted pieces of lace. Then one day I found “The Lord’s Prayer” which had been crocheted and was probably used on the back of a chair, just safety pinned in place on the top of a recliner. Someone spent hours making this piece. I took it home… $5 find! I had it framed by some friends. So, Arne, I get this passion for old crafts🥰 I see her weathered hands crocheting this piece for her home.

Loved this trip to the thrift shop with you both. I love that Arne takes these unfinished projects and gives them new life with his own ideas to finish them. I look forward to seeing more of your trips to the thrift shops and what treasures you find.
Well done for finding embroideries to finish. I found a lovely hexagon, English paper piecing, unfinished quilt, which I finished. It gave me so much pleasure.
How fun to go thrift shopping with you guys. Thanks.
Oh my what beautiful finds. I especially like the cats.
I too loved this episode. I live in the Far North of England and I love thrift shopping. I can tell you that the Blind / Dead old Lady has traveled to here too, even leaving her unfinished work in very similar baskets! Can I also say that I’ve spend hours searching for Scandinavian pottery……..now I know where it all is . Absolutely lovely. Many thanks,
Maybe she is like Father Christmas!
It’s nice that there are people out there that enjoy finishing off someone’s unfinished projects. I hope that if someday I pass before a quilting project is completed, that there will be someone like Arne to take it up to the finish line. Thanks for sharing with us. 👍❤️😊
That is the cleanest thrift store Ive ever seen! I wish I was there!
Thank you both for the visit to your local thrift store.
Fantastic embroidery you are doing tothe half finished pieces. Take uswith you again
What a lovely little store! When you decide to do an "Arne and Carlos Thrift Store Tour," please sign me up! 😉
What fun!! I'd love to go thrift shopping with you both.
I love the way you finish off those projects Arne and that’s a really nice Thrift shop .
Absolutely gorgeous all your thrift shopping cushions that you embroidered! Arne you are so clever truly amazing! Xx 💜
Ah the spinning Wheel….love Old spinningwheels.❤️
Oh I loved the thrift store trip. I do that a lot also. Arne finishes them so nicely. Thanks for taking us along.😊
Thank you for joining!
I went a little crazy buying counted cross stitch kits when I lived in Denmark back in the 70's. I absolutely loved the look but then found I had no patience for all those teeny tiny itty bitty little x's lol. My sister in law finished them for me. I LOVE your houndstooth pillow - so clever and beautiful!
Arne, your personality reminds me of my late father. ❤
That is one of the most beautiful thrift shops I have ever seen!
Arne you have the aptitude for searching out dead peoples projects to finish ❤ I just love you for that 🥰
Giving the world precious projects a new life
You are a star ⭐️
Thanks for finishing up projects left undone - a great way to repurpose. Enjoyed your shopping.
I watched your video and your assumption that the person giving these projects is either blind or dead is not strictly the only reason a person donates their collections to charity. I am a 79 year old lady that has done a lot of needlework over the years. I walk around my house and am very happy with everything I have done and that is hanging on my walls. I still do small projects but have lost interest and room for the large projects, so I have given all that away to our local hospital thrift shop. Also, I have taken over lots of needlework from ladies who have had to downsize or go into a care home. So, you see, lots of reasons for giving away the stuff you still love to do. But let me tell you it is very hard to give up your projects, finished or unfinished that you have lovingly collected (with great intentions to finish) over the years. I am very happy to see a person like you make something of these treasures. :-)
Thank you so much for your theory! We have had a few different theories during the year and we will add yours in the mix!
Arne you are an inspiration in finishing those projects!
That has to be the tidiest charity shop ever! No wonder you visit as often as you can. Happy thrifting. xx
I love watching you guys go shopping. I can’t wait to see the finds finished. Love to you both. 😊
😍😍
I love the scenic pieces.
Love to watch you thrift shop!
I love what you have done with the unfinished projects. If the lady is still alive and can see she wil love what you have done with her things. I hope you find her❤❤❤❤
I loved this episode! I have been thrifting with my daughter since she was a youngster. We made many wonderful memories. My daughter is now 29 years old and is in graduate school. To this day, she still shops at thrift stores and considers each find a treasure. You both always make my heart smile. Thank you!
You are welcome Valerie!
That was fun watching Arne.
Love the projects he has finished.
Beautiful work! Just beautiful!
What a wonderful idea!

Thanks for the visit to the thrift store. I love the magic and mystery that surrounds the dead or blind lady!
Love you going thrifting,gardening, and cooking!!! Thank you for sharing your interests!💕
thank you both for taking us on your thrift shop tour. Nice to get an insight in to what treasures to find in a Norwegian thrift shop. I loved the spinning wheel. I have a Norwegian wheel that was made here in Christchurch, NZ. I'm a self confessed wool hoarding spinner! Loved watching Arne in the thrift shopping mode, hunting for a bargain!
Thrift shopping is my favorite next to knitting! Loved going along with you to the thrift shop!
This episode is one of the best of all. Thanks for sharing.
You are welcome!
That’s so cool! Love how you complete those incomplete s projects.
Such fun! Can't wait to see what you do with the treasures!
Arne, I was glad to see you admit that the enormous unfinished canvas was ‘a bit much’, don’t forget about tennis elbow 😊
A greate work Arne and a very good idear.
I love thrift shopping. Your local shop has some beautiful things.
I love how this mysterious crafter has become part of the show...brilliant!!!!
Love that you took us to the flea market……please again!!!💜
