Y'all know I can't resist a good garage sale! I love them even more than thrifting because you get all of the stories behind the pieces!
Those baskets are called "bushel baskets" for apple or veggies. A bushel holds around 40lbs of picked apples. I worked at an apple orchard for many years. You could possibly use them on the porch to corral those new pillows you are gonna make from the grain sacks. The garage sale had some really nice finds. I really liked all the milk glass pieces. Hope you get out to a few more sales so we can come along with you.
PS your hair looks lovely up!
Kristen - I am a newer follower because of Pine and Prospect collab - but since I found you - I have binge-watched so much of your channel. I just love the quality you have brought to your home through thrifting, which I love! (I too, am on a tight budget and you inspire me so much!) But also your realness - and your humor!! Your ability to laugh at yourself, laugh through rough stuff, and share so much of yourself has made you land as one of my very favorite channels! You have real quality and class to all you do! So excited to see new content when it comes out and so thrilled for you that Cami over at Tidbits also gave you a mention! You deserve it!!
Perfectly said!
True! She’s a delight.
In my experience, garage sale prices are almost always better and cheaper than thrift stores.
Yep, as long as they just want rid of stuff and fast! If they know the value and want to make money it's not for me. Not in my budget.
I agree! Thrift stores are getting pricey in my area!!!
@@christineschmidt4337Those people who don’t price their items and then when you ask for the price, they hem and haw and say, I paid x amount for this so I am going to have to have y. Sometimes they stand there and can’t even come up with a price! You’re having the garage sale! You don’t have a price in mind?!?
The “chunkier rectangle one looks cute on a plate over a tea lite or votive surrounded by greens at Xmas
Cheese grater 😂 rectangle
Had so much fun collaborating with you sweet Kristen!!! I just can't wait to get closer and have some adventures together! Thanks a million for doing this video collab with me!! So much fun!
As
Kristen, I just love watching you and your hauls! You are so down to earth about things and we need more influencers such as you! I love garage sells and thrifting too! I live in SE Alabama and my Aunt and I love to go " junking" as we call it! Someone else's trash is always someone else's treasures!
Love the idea of the grain sacks and I think they would make adorable outside pillow covers!
The flat grater looks more vintage. The hanging lantern is beautiful! I think the stains and rips in the grain bags give them character. They’ll make awesome outdoor cushions!
I put a plug in candle under my cheese grater on a shelf . It give my kitchen a cozy feel. I also have 3 lamps in my kitchen. I agree souch with you on using the stuff handed down because it ends up either dry rotting or no one else wants it . I think the feed sacks would be great pillow cases. Great finds
What a cool idea, Lisa!
Keep the four sided grater...much more versatile than the one sided. And try bleaching the sacks. The stains might come out. Or you could soak them in cold tea, if you wanted them to take on a vintage/aged look, while covering the stains.
I love all your finds!! The grain sacks are awesome! I found some recently. Pillows would be cute and also stockings at Christmas or pumpkins for the fall.
Ok, those flour sack towels.. you can cover the stains w embroidery or patches, decals, etc.
& They have 'candles' w LED lights for your chandelier. So you don't have to worry about wiring it or having wax drip on you.. or burn your gazebo down. 😊
& That measuring stick is indeed called a yard stick. Growing up all teachers had them on the chalk ledge in front of the chalkboard. 😊
They also make good drying tea towels
Keep both. One is good when grating over a bowl. The box grater is perfect for grating on a plate or flat surface.
The apple baskets are my favorite Kristen, and I would definitely keep the sweatshirt. It looks thick and comfy; you'll wear it a lot in the fall/winter, I'm sure. There is a little string of a rainbow to your left coming in the window! Have a great week!!
I didn't read the other comments, but keep both graters. I have seen the box crater hung upside down to hold a kitchen towel. That would look darling in your kitchen. I bought the flat one at a craft fair. It is decorated with a sprig of holly, berries and ribbon. I hang it up at Christmas time. So, use them both for decor! I have 2 sets of measuring cups. You could keep one set in the cannisters. Cute glass milk bottle. Such pretty platters-great scores!
I have one of those graters like you--the flat one and they are really old. You can't hardly find one anymore. The box grater is very common in the size you have and I also have a bigger one which I love b/c I got that for my wedding shower (55 Yrs. ago). This bigger one grates stuff a lot faster. I would keep the flat one if I were you.
Cut those grain sack pieces in half and make some big outdoor pillows out of them. Spray them with fabric protector to keep rain off if you happen to not be able to get them in the house right away.
The baskets are bushel baskets that years ago, potatoes, apples, and other big fruit would come in. Don't leave them out in the rain. They will deteriorate in a hurry. Great finds!!
Our girls grew up being pulled to the farmer's market in a wooden Radio Flyer wagon, and one Christmas they got mini radio flyer wagons in their stockings. They named the tiny ones "Helpful Wagon", and used them for sooooo much play with their stuffed animals and dolls. When they got older the tiny wagons held their lip balm and perfume! Now I have them tucked away with all the special toys I can't part with❤
Love the silver measuring cups.The big apple baskets, which I love, can be used to store so many things. Shoes would be my choice especially with small kids.
I was debating whether to buy a perfect sized white tablecloth with ten matching napkins at a sale because of the stains. A lady standing next to me said to try a hot water soak in OXY Clean and my detergent for an hour and then wash as usual. OMG, ALL of the stains came out and for the last year,this is my weekly method for my white wash load,no more bleach.🙌🏻
You did a great haul from garage selling. I love your grain sacks and baskets, it all is really good. God is so good to help us find things that we want pretty cheap. Your hair looks so cute like that.
The radio flyer could be used in a Christmas arrangement……..love all your finds.
That light fixture will be so nice in a gazebo with battery candles- with a remote. No electricity needed.
Put the extra measuring cups in the flour and sugar bins. I use them in everyday containers.
Dang girl you scored! Excited to see how that light fixture looks in your gazebo. And I think I mentioned this in a past comment, but yes!! I’m obsessed with the blue & white English plates and I have a small collection to put up in my dining room as a wall display!
Those large spoon type measuring things are the Odd Measuring Cups from William and Sonoma. Very heavy and expensive. I love mine.
My grandma always used feed sacks for dish towels. They are soft and very exorbitant. Nothing compares!
Love the hair up. Makes your eyes pop.. love this content and your excitement showing your finds...
I love those long measuring cup spoons!!!❤
I love your videos Kristen. You make me smile.🤣
You could use your big pizza cutter for brownies maybe and when your children is done playing with the wagon (which I love) you could put your salt and pepper shakers in it. Live your channel, your honesty and your heart ♥
Thank you for taking us thrifting - Cami mentioned your channel - you are both fun to follow!
Great finds this week Kristen. LOVE LOVE LOVE the chandelier for your gazebo!
I loved the grain sacks!! I think you could patch the hole in the long one with a piece of old fabric. It looks like it would hold a couple of standard sized pillows and be perfect for porch furniture pillows. Nice find!
Hello Kristen! I follow you and Cami, love both your channels. You found some cool garage sale finds. My daughter's and I love yard sales and thrifting. I get excited when I see you post a new video every time😊 thank you for sharing Kristen. May you and your family have a blessed week💗🙏
I just love how much fun you have with your videos. I keep a smile on my face watching you.
Kristen love your style, keep both graters. I think they look great just as decor. Also like the heavy measuring spoons. Absolutely yes use your items, I saved to many items for good and missed enjoying them for longer! Great finds on the haul.
When I was growing up, my Mom used the bushel baskets for laundry. You could buy plastic ( oil cloth ) liners that fit in the basket with slits for the wire handles to be accessible.
Same! My mom still uses a bushel basket for laundry.
You crack me up !!!!! Thanks so much for making Sundays even more special. Keep up the good work !!
The reason we all love to watch you is because you’re so real. That’s what makes you so special. The Lord truly has shown his grace on you. Keep the funny shape shredder you’ll get more use out of it. Just watch your fingers. I think they’re called bushel baskets for apple picking not sure though. have a wonderful blessed day Sharon heading over to Cami’s now
Love all of your finds and wow, such great deals!! I think the milk/creamer glass bottle looks like the ones I bought at the Target dollar spot a few years ago. They're so cute!!
The grater you just bought, put it in your hutch with a battery operated tea light or votive inside. It can be decor instead.
Happy to see you , your videos are so clean and refreshing to watch , I enjoy your sense of humour so much , have a great week everyone , blessings .❤️🥰
I just love your videos. I somehow found you on RUclips and I'm so glad I did!!! I love old stuff. It all has a story. Our house is small and it's has more old stuff than it should. Wish my house was bigger. But very thankful and blessed for all we have.
I’ve seen those old graters used with candles. Just put a little votive or tea light underneath and the light dances out of all of the nooks and crannies. Fun!
Oh my goodness, I have so many of the items you showed. The measuring cups/spoons, if they are the same as mine, Lindy's brand, they are stainless steel, and only come with 1/8, 1/4, 1/3 and 1/2 cup. Keep them. You got a great deal. They are usually $15+ for the set.
Just started the video and have to say the chunky grater is wonderful if sprayed and the handle decorated with a votive inside. I collected different size and they looked charming grouped together
Would love to see more of your garage, estate, fly market finds. They are all fun to watch.
Wow what a sale!! Lucky duck you! I love the excitement of the hunt! Funtimes❤
Love your stuff Kristen! Good luck on your farmers market!
Hi so glad to dine you.. I accidentally clicked on Cami’s channel loved it and then she mentioned you.. and I love yours too… I’m so blessed love not only your thrifting, diys and beautiful home but more so your message enjoy what’re season we’re in… God is good ❤
You found a lot of great things. My husband and I went to a neighborhood yard sale yesterday and we didn't buy much. Most of the things that people were selling were pure junk and way too expensive. A few weeks ago my husband and I went to a garage sale and the prices were insane. They were selling a kitchen aid blender and they were asking $70. 😲 I hope that you will do well at the farmers market.
Great haul! I love your ironstone shirt. I would keep the silver looking measuring spoons, and both graters. Have an awesome week.
I often wonder why more you tubers don't put their hair up especially when cleaning and gardening. Looks really cute. Liked your finds and look forward to how you use them. Our unused stuff may end up at a yard sale one day so use it while you can! Like your shirt.🌻
I love the new light for the gazebo, it's PERFECT! I have something similar outside hanging in a tree near our cabin. I attached inexpensive solar lights and there is no maintenance and always light. Tfs❤
Garage sales are the best for finding gems at great prices! 😄 you found some great stuff!
I would appliqué a pretty “patch” over any areas of stains or holes on the flour sacks.
Awesome haul love the hanging light, you can unused the fake candle so you wouldn’t have dripping wax. Just an idea. The pillow case fabric you could tie dye or tea stain.
Kristen, I don’t know how you find so many beautiful items for your home, but I love your hauls. The ways you care about what you bring into your home is really inspiring. I love garage sales and find some of the best deals at them.
Thanks for sharing.
You just crack me up!! You found some gems for sure. Those prices are what I remember garage sale prices being, growing up. The ones around me have just gone crazy. 😮
Kristen, Love the garage sale haul! Happy your keeping the little wagon for baby Ivy, that would also be a cute for their American doll's.
I love your finds! Those heavy measuring spoons are stainless steal, I have the same set! It only comes with the three, there isn't a 1 cup spoon. You will just have to measure the 1/2 cup twice! LOL!
Put those battery powered candle sticks in the gazebo chandelier ❤️❤️❤️
I agree...use your stuff! Great finds! Can't wait to hear more about the farmer's market. 🐄🍒
What a great video - I enjoyed all of the thrifted pieces. But that Tshirt!! So cool! It was also awesome to see you collab with Cami - I watch you both regularly!
Try soaking the flour sacks in oxi-clean. Sometimes I can get even old stains out with that. And stained or not stained, they would be adorable as pillows!
Use one of your sacks and line the inside of one of the apple baskets! It would be so good looking! Loved your video too, good haul!
Cute idea!
The large measuring spoons are great for serving yogurt & fruits for little ones. I also have that white platter along with matching smaller ones. I like all your finds!
Those flour bags are great .. stains and all!!
Great haul and congratulations on the channels success ❤
It’s not always ez but worth it for the love of thrifting 🛒
Such great prices!! Love the chandelier and the blue and white plates!! My fav!!
I just found your channel and love it. The box grater looks cool as a decor item with a candle inside. Beautiful for the holidays in your kitchen or dining room.
You can dye the grainsack to cover the stains. Coffee or tea works!
Your hair looks cute up,,,,great for warmer weather. The chandelier will be perfect for the gazebo. ❤
The cheese grater you can hang it upside down and hang your dish towel from it
I love vintage finds. I've seen where people find wonderful light fixtures like you did and put the top part of solar lights that u can get at Walmart or Dollar Tree in the sockets, instead of using candles for outdoor lighting. I havent been fortunate enough to find one. I love your perky videos.
Hi Kristen. I love your tee shirt!!! Your hair looks so pretty up. You scored BIG. Everthing speaks to me. Thanks for sharing❤
Hi Kristen I love old graters great at Christmas with a battery operated candle ❤❤❤ super finds prices are better at garage sales ❤👋🇨🇦
That little red wagon would look great hanging on a Christmas tree.
I would keep the spoon cups as I have never seen a set like that... they are so oddly kewl !! I am binge watching all of your content ... you and Josh are so adorable 💞.. you can get battery operated light bulbs/ candles for your pergola light fixture or run fairy lights all over it, the girls would love that ...
What an amazing garage sale! You made some good choices. That little wagon is so cute.
Thanks for the recommendation for Cami’s channel. Love your posts.
Setting the grainsacks out in the sun for awhile should minimize a lot of the staining. Great finds!
I’m so glad I found you! I love seeing young woman thrifting and nesting to make your house a home! ❤
Oh thank you!
Great haul Kristen! The chandelier would look great in a gazebo. I’ve seen on RUclips that you take Dollar Tree solar path lights and not glue them in each of the candle areas. If you wanted to you could spray paint the chandelier and lights to a color of choice or leave as is. Hang it with some hanging light chain and there you have it. It’s so hard for me to choose to sell or keep my thrifted finds as the struggle is real.😀❤️👍🏻
I love all of your garage sale finds!!! The orchard baskets would look great with Christmas trees in them. I have one and I put it on my porch every Christmas and it looks so awesome!! Just a thought.
I have tried selling the bushel baskets on marketplace and no one seems to want them anymore!
When I was little my grandma and mom used the grater one with the handle to cut Cole slaw. We call it the Cole slaw cutter. I have one from my great grandmother.
Some great finds!!! Love your T-shirt too!!
Amen to using your items!!! What’s the use of having something if you hide it away and nobody can enjoy them??😅
HAPPY SUNDAY Kristen, family, and fur baby. That little wagon was too cute..NICE HAUL...STTB
Good finds! One of the flour sacks could be a picnic table runner 😊❤❤❤❤
The apple buckets are beautiful. The spoons are beautiful
The ruler is beautiful. Thank you for sharing ! Singapore is far away from Nebraska but I'm with you for thrifting. 😊😊
I get SOOOOO Tickled at you!! Them old sacks I think back in the forties they use to make dresses out of them…You are prob the most REAL RUclipsr there is…such a delight
Love all of your finds❤
😂 was so excited to see the ruler. I just purchased one almost exact but, the writing local to my area at an estate sale for $1. Excited to see how you style yours so I can copy 😉. I slapped mine on the wall with a collage.
Yay! So excited you’re going to do a booth at a Farmer’s Market!
Would a salt & pepper shaker fit in the little radio flyer wagon? It would be so cute on a table or in a window ledge in a kitchen.
I never thought of that!
Your children would love it too. Maybe.
Can you share more about how you do your laundry with vinegar? When I look up stuff online, things are a little contradictory about the best way to do it.
Love the grain sacks. I collect vintage tablecloths. I have good luck soaking them in Biz or oxyclean for 8 to 24 hours to remove stains. If you have a clothesline the sunshine also helps to remove stains. I also lay wet linens on grass, there is a reaction with the chlorophyll that helps whiten linens. The chandelier will be beautiful.
Also “white revive” by oxiclean with Dawn Dishwashing liquid. Greased Lightening is also good on items that have already been washed. I had to get red clay out of white baseball uniforms. We (baseball moms and dads) agreed Greased Lightening and Dawn worked best.
Love all the items you got. You got some really good deals.
I like the actual spoon shape measures.
Found you thru Cami. So glad I did, enjoyed your video.
Great finds❣️ I am now on the hunt for measuring cups like the ones you found I love those. I think you have a great idea using the grain sacks as pillow covers❣️
Now, I need to figure out how to use my sewing machine!
@@KristenHoffman I have never learned to sew and it’s one thing that I wished I could do.
