    You amaze me with your ability to "see" what a old piece could be if redone. You are an inspiration to me

    I love the trifold mirrors. Even more, I love your "never quit," disposition. If you don't like where it's going, take a leap and change it.

    I think the tri mirror was adorable and worth way more than 4 times what you paid, I also loved the stool and metal vase, but everything was so inventive and will sell for more too, Sherrie, good job❤❤❤

    I think the tri-fold mirror was the biggest change and best profit!

    I work in a thrift store (in Australia). Only a few of us are allowed to price items to stop what you are seeing with the crazy prices. My favourites are the jewellery cabinet, mirror shelf, and cutting board. I would pay much more than four times the original price.

  • @debrap947
    @debrap947 5 месяцев назад +5

    Definitely the metal vase, it is gorgeous, and a close second for me is the green triple mirror project. Great job Sherry!

    @terriallen2537 5 месяцев назад +20

    Hello Sherry! Love your revamps in the thrift items. Yes, it's ridiculous how much greed Goodwill is showing. They've lost sight of the meaning of a thrift store.
    My fave was the mirror candlestick shelf. I love all the others too. You never disappoint and enjoy your creativity so much. Thanks for sharing your talent 😊

    • @jennbidwelledwardson2885
      @jennbidwelledwardson2885 5 месяцев назад +5

      I think the rise in thrift store prices is due to all the resellers on RUclips going to their local Goodwill, cherry picking items and showing their value & what they sold them for. So yeah, thanks to RUclips thrift stores are evening out the odds.
      I'm not criticizing Sherry, she is flipping pieces that might otherwise languish on the shelf. She puts a lot of work into the projects as well. It's a different business. But dirt cheap bargains at the thrift are no longer a guarantee.

    • @kilodeltawhisky1504
      @kilodeltawhisky1504 5 месяцев назад

      I think the rise in prices is because of minimum wage increases. They're also competing with the lower end junk from Walmart, Ross, TJ maxx, dollar tree, etc. Whatever the market will bear.

  • @kblack8770
    @kblack8770 5 месяцев назад +11

    Sherry, Judging by all the sold signs I would have to say yes all your creations are worth 4X the purchase price. I love all your creations. Monday cannot come soon enough. Have a Blessed and safe week.

    @noraleestone2859 5 месяцев назад +1

    Wow, Sherry! 😲🤯 I'd say all those items were worth 5 or 6 times their original value. 🥰The folks who bought them still got a bargain at 4X the original cost. Especially the pictures, because they were added to from your stash. Your creativity and skill were priceless, as always. 🤩💯 I loved all of them, and couldn't pick a favorite. ❤ I'll be here again next week, waiting to have my mind blown again. 😂😘 Bye for now. 👍👋

    I have moved right past those really outdated jewelry box cabinets so many times. Now I will be hunting for one!

    @greatestever6738 5 месяцев назад +1

    I thought the little gold oval picture frames came out beautiful combined with the larger frames. That's the reason I love your channel. I am not creative to see things like that. Plus I admire your taste in artwork. Also green mirror was a winner.

    Your Thrift stores are not the only one that their prices are going through the roof!!! Here in N.B., Canada, we have few thrift stores, SA and VV prices have gone insane. Things at VV (Value Village) they will sell somethings from the Dollarama for more than the original price. You can still get some deals, but, they’re few and far between. Thanks for the videos love them.

    • @CanterburyCottage
      @CanterburyCottage  5 месяцев назад +2

      Thank you! Yes, today, you have to spend more time looking through merchandise to find any deals. I drove 25 minutes to another Goodwill (even though I live 5 minutes from one) to find things that were more reasonably priced.

    The mirrors was my favorite but every piece was fantastic of course. The $12.40 price in my opinion was low for a couple of them but I'm in CA & used to things being more expensive. And our Goodwills have gone completely mad. You have to know if you can get something cheaper at Home Goods. Lol❤❤
