I have often bought casserole dishes to use for taking Meals to a sick friend or for bereavement meals. They don't have to worry about who to return it to.🕯️
Linda: I just want to say THANK YOU!!!! I have watched you for years! I live in Houston and have always admired your garden style AND your thrifting mantra!!! I too am a gardener, actually a Texas Master, and absolutely love to get lost in our garden! But, what I want to tell you is almost ten years ago, I had a brain stem stroke….being able to watch the latest in your gardening world, really inspired me to work hard in PT and get back to what I love to do…spend time in my garden!!!! My husband and two sons made sure I had gardening projects several times a week. And….they would take me thrifting to find any garden ‘lagniappe’ (yes, we lived in New Orleans for two years…talk about garden hard scape finds!!!!!). We would walk around the neighborhood Goodwills, yard sales, etc….not even thinking 🤔 about how many steps I was getting in!!! I am about 99% back to normal (coming from a place I couldn’t walk, swallow food, lost thermal feeling on my whole left side…)!!! Thank you again, I am so glad your path crossed mine, even though virtually! I look forward to what you do in the garden at your new Fairytale cottage, I will be with you every step of the way!!! 32:04 ❤❤❤
What a beautiful story of love and strength. So much that can happen and we can forget to be thankful for our lives and what meaning in the ripple of life we bring. I hope your life is still being celebrated in the way you see it.❤
I am 91 years old and this is how I learned this rhyme,,,,,,,Jack be nimble, Jack be quick, Jack jumped over the candlestick, He jumped so high, He touched the sky, and never came back till the fourth of July!!! You are never too old to learn and I never knew exactly what this meant until I googled it today, and i hope you won't mind if I share what I learned. It is said that supposedly this rhyme was based on the most famous pirate Black Jack in the 1800's (played by Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow). Jumping over a lighted candlestick was a sport and was meant to foretell your fortune, according to your success in jumping over the candlestick without extinguishing the flame!!! Black Jack was smart, quick and limber, avoiding the authorities. BTW Linda, I enjoyed finding you today and am subscribing. I especially love the way you slowly show us the items and the prices!!!
I love thrifting and used to go to auctions years ago and got lots of interesting garden finds. Galvanized items years ago I could buy for $1 or less. My favorite find was an old pink bicycle that is leaning against a tree in my front yard. I later found a wire basket for the front of it for $10. Your channel is so much fun to watch.
I love Linda’s thrifting ideas. Thank you Linda and Stewart for reminding us about her great ideas. While ago I saw Linda uses old muffin tins. I couldn’t remember how she used them. And thanks to you I know. Holder for mini terracotta pots. So many other great ideas to “copy and paste” in my home and garden. Tomorrow I will go thrifting for sure! 😂🤷♀️🤦♀️
Those britches. LOL I love your channel Linda. You are super cool, creative and smart. I stumbled on your videos this past Christmas 2022 as I was missing my mom. It was Christmastime when I lost her a few years ago. There you were in color and so much like my mom. Now I watch you all the time. You remind me of her so much.
Out of all that, I saw one repeat . The little blue and white bowl. Great job. Love my Thrifting. I have found things for home and garden. Thanks for more inspirations.
Love the bird bath on the upside down metal table. All of your ideas are so thrilling to me. I also love and cannot pass by the metal lanterns. Love your show.
GTSY Linda. Thanks for the video. I'm gonna miss the old garden. It's very busy, like my aunt's was. She was a classy, auburn-haired country gal who rode to school a-horseback, rubbed shoulders with oil barons of Houston, spoke truth to powerful politicians and lived to be 100+ yrs old. Her garden was like a crazy quilt of beauty in every square inch.
Love seeing all these thrifting videos again and together in a composite. One video in your breakfast room had a collection of black and white prints or drawings flanking the fireplace. They would look wonderful as part of your gallery wall in new house.
I love thrifting to Linda. I have found many wonderful things at Estate sales as well. Your britches are really cool! So many good ideas in this video, thank you sweet lady.
Thank you Linda for sharing all the wonderful ideas on how to repurpose my Goodwill treasures in my garden. I can't wait for the snow to melt and decorate my garden with thrifted items I already have in my basement.
Hi Linda , you mentioned what happens to our hands after gardening. I've got into the habit of putting on a pair of latex or non latex gloves before putting on my regular garden gloves. When I take them off my nails have not split or gotton filled with dirt. I just dispose of the latex gloves after. Helps protects my nail polish also.
Fun gift, pet rock kit-10 bottles of various colors of nail polish in a plastic box ( this was for for a 7 year old ) and rocks to paint as lady bugs or bees or hearts that say “I love you”. For her birthday I created fabric pieces to sew together that made a raggedy Ann doll.
OMG, the fashion, the food, the tours, the scenery, all looked like a wonderful trip! Thank you Jessica for taking us along! That restaurant I will definitely go to Oregon just to eat there. I see why the rich would take a jet to their favorite places just to have a meal! What mascara do you use, your lashes popped just after one swipe. Thank you for a wonderful vlog!
You are so inspiring to me that I find myself taking pictures of your home and garden ideas on RUclips with my phone. And you are so personally stylish that I confess that I take pics of your outfits--how you pop your collars and use color and silhouettes, etc. I'm not trying to scare you. I'm just saying that I can have a more beautiful life by seeing what you are doing. Years ago I read and reread and highlighted lots of Alexandra Stoddard's books because I could at least read about what she was doing. I am so grateful to be able to WATCH your RUclips channel! Thank you for expanding my possibilities and helping to develop my "eye." You know what they say about one comment representing many more- so, thanks from all of us!
You've been told this many times I'd guess, "You are so stinking creative!" I need you to go thrifting with me because I'd see these things and not come up with the uses you do. So I greatly appreciate you sharing your finds and ideas. So great!
Love going down memory lane loved everything. It always saddens me every time we come in the end of your video I’m so glad you made it for 2 hours I enjoyed every minute as if I was there with you.
I am such a thrifter too! I usually run through once or twice a month.nANd I look for almost the same things as you. My go tos are the baskets, iron work, candle holders , frames and art, textiles , planting vessels and of course books!
I love you because your so smart not to go to new stores They are so many good things out there at goodwill and yard sales and it helps the environment when you don't go buy new
While I have seen these all before, I enjoyed watching them again. Always fun, creative and inspirational!! Hope that setting up your new home is going well Linda. Thanks for the great combo of videos you put together for us Stewart. 😉😊
hi Linda, Such wonderful ideas & tips, especially for smaller garden or patios. I'm sure I saw this previously, but such fresh ideas for Spring. I watched the entire video again. Thank you always & Best of luck & happiness in your new home.
I'm always amazed at the Goodwill prices I see in RUclips videos. In my city, items at Goodwill are usually almost as expensive as the same things new. The only exceptions if they've been tagged for a special.
I saw in another video, some gentleman had used broken pieces of (blue ceramic pots?) to border his potted plants and pathways. I have one that I love but is now broken that I think I’ll try to use in this manner. Love your style and that you use thrifting in your decor shopping.
Linda I also love thrifting and visiting estate sales. Your thrifting videos really inspire me to get out and see what I can find. Do you have a few favorite thrift stores here in OKC area you can share?
In that heavy, black cache pot...if there is enough room to hide them... I would put a bunch of tiny pots with nasturtiums. The contrast of those petite, gleeful blooms against that serious, black cache pot could be so interesting. And you could occasionally remove a few of those blossoms to add to a salad.
Just watched this again... and have to say the vase your husband found is so unique. I am not into Asian inspired decor, but this is a wonderful piece on a stack of books , on a shelf, as a vase. Also since I last watched this I found a stand just like the one near your front door. I have a large cement sphere with moss sitting on it.
The toe you were showing with the shovel is a lawn aerator. You poked holes as you walked your yard and it helped the grass to grow and breathe not sure what all its purpose is. They have them now that have a wheel and they also have the type that can attach to your riding lawn mower
Thank you for your lovely tours. We are having a much cooler winter for a Zone 9. Our drought will not be over this summer either. I love a cottage garden but succulents do not really give that look but do grow well in this area.
Hi Linda I love to thrift too, it is fun and relaxing for me. I think we have this in common! For the challenge of the thrift number 10 I now that you already has found how to used it by this time it is october now but as soon as I saw it on the table wooow it is so beautiful and I can't see anything else than a bonsai in it, I think it will look Majestic in that as a vase!!!!! 🥰🥰🥰
I would add salsa of those bulb vases. Corks are perfect but if you didn't have those a heavy duty plastic wrap would work with a ribbon tied to the vase. Enjoying watching the compilation of the thrifting videos.
When you were by that fence showing the upside down table that you were using to hold the bird bath. What kind of bush or tree is that with the pale yellow white looking flowers?
Just luv those FINDS❤. I must of missed the video, but is that Artificial Grass imbedded w stepping stones❓❓❓ Can be seen when u talk about Nasturtiums & muffin tin.
Love watching you Linda and much happiness in your new home! Got many good ideas from this video. Could you tell me how to spell “cashbo”. I want to use that word for those vase/pots & google isn’t helping me! Thank you.
What is a cache pot for plants? Cache pots are decorative containers for indoor plants that do not have drainage holes. Do not plant directly into a cache pot- plant into a plastic pot, and then set that pot inside the decorative container.

Love, love, love your “ thrifting” shows keep them coming.💕
Jack be nimble, Jack, be quick Jack jumped over the candlestick
The rim of the terra cotta pot used as a holder for a potted plant or a frame for a vine - what a fabulous idea!!

Thanks Linda for sharing. I love thrift shopping. I have found some really great things thrifting.
Loved this two hour video on thrifting! Enjoyed it while I made all of my paper orgami paper seed starting cups! Thank you!!!
I feel some comfort in knowing that I am not the only one that picks up trash on the side of the road!🙂

I would LOVE to see how you store all of the accessories for plants. I think I need an extra room for this.

Hey dear
Love thrift shopping and have been doing it for many years. I was eco conscious long before it became an issue. 😅
Me too, 40+ years they used to be secrets of mass treasures yrs ago
I'm watching this again to see this beautiful garden. 😊
Jack be nibble, Jack be quick, Jack blew out the candlestick. :) Love children storybooks. Great video combination.
I am such a thrifter too! I usually run through once or twice a month.nANd I look for almost the same things as you. My go tos are the baskets, iron work, candle holders , frames and art, textiles , planting vessels and of course books!
Thank you for reinforcing reusing and thrifting! We often pass discarded items on trash day and say " how would Linda use these outside?".
I love the outside fire!
Thank you, Stewart! 😊
love your work ethic + sense of humor. Not everyone would use the squirrel's work on coir to enhance their potted plants! TEAMWORK! linda from NE
I love you because your so smart not to go to new stores
They are so many good things out there at goodwill and yard sales and it helps the environment when you don't go buy new
The nursery rhyme is Jack Be Nimble. Love thrifting.
While I have seen these all before, I enjoyed watching them again. Always fun, creative and inspirational!! Hope that setting up your new home is going well Linda. Thanks for the great combo of videos you put together for us Stewart. 😉😊
Love, Love, Love all of these thrifting ideas!! Keep these type of videos coming!!!
hi Linda, Such wonderful ideas & tips, especially for smaller garden or patios. I'm sure I saw this previously, but such fresh ideas for Spring. I watched the entire video again. Thank you always & Best of luck & happiness in your new home.
Great idea with candle holder and spent basket, you're so creative!!

Love thrift stores!❤
What a fun reminder of how to use thrifted item’s
Linda's choice of words are great!
Iteration? I'll have to look that one up ☺️
I absolutely loved this video...I remembered some of the ideas but not all. Great refresher course!
Linda I also love thrifting and visiting estate sales. Your thrifting videos really inspire me to get out and see what I can find. Do you have a few favorite thrift stores here in OKC area you can share?
Now is the time to be looking for things for Spring before everyone is looking
I truly enjoyed all these videos on thrifting and the uses of each. Such great and creatuve ideas. Thank you for the ideas.
This is a great compilation of all your thrifting! Thanks for putting it together.
Thank you very much, dear Linda, for this amazing ideas!🐥🐇🐝🐞

Toole ( bride veils made out of) Squirrels hate, anything with claws they get caught in the toole and the quite.
Another favorite video. I miss my Mom too. We would go to Estate sales, yard sales etc. sending you some hugs prayers and kindness.❤🍃🌿❤👍🏼🙏🏼
Linda on the table that had the long slim basket that you were going to serve food in I would use to line it with lots of succulents
I also do the same with the saucers all my pots and plants are uniformed
Love your thrift finds!
Can't wait for the follow-up project Aaron .❤
Hi Linda I love to thrift too, it is fun and relaxing for me. I think we have this in common!

Have you ever explored Kokedama, Japanese Moss Ball art? It is fun to do this with new sprouts or small plantings and give them as gifts.
Jooooooosh never heard of it. I’m a buyer seller and trader and collector. Love gardening too .
I know I am late to the show at this time but I would plant tulips in that container you showed at the end.
Wee Willy Weenkie runs through the night, upstairs and downstairs in his nightgown
I would add salsa of those bulb vases. Corks are perfect but if you didn't have those a heavy duty plastic wrap would work with a ribbon tied to the vase. Enjoying watching the compilation of the thrifting videos.

Could you tell me how to spell “cashbo”. I want to use that word for those vase/pots & google isn’t helping me! Thank you.
What is a cache pot for plants?
Cache pots are decorative containers for indoor plants that do not have drainage holes. Do not plant directly into a cache pot- plant into a plastic pot, and then set that pot inside the decorative container.
When rainy and windy will have to watch they don’t get knocked over.

New follower and enjoying so much. Is Stuart her husband or associate? Has he ever shown his face?
Stuart is her videographer. He sometimes shows his face when he gets caught in a
reflection and offers comments more nowadays.
Hello,
Stewart is Linda’s work associate.
Stewart, prefers not to show his face. Maybe someday, Stewart will reveal who he is to us. Until then, he will remain our Mystery man. They are a great team. 😁
Thanks for the response!
