Yes. Lol so is mine. My coworkers literally thought my living room was a downloaded background on our zoom meetings until one noticed a candle's flame was actually moving 😂
When I was little my late aunt would dress up in her clown attire and volunteer at events that happened in our local park. All the kids loved her and she would always have those little strawberry candies that she would pass out to the kids, it was a great time
I’ve been leaning into Miss Frizzle lately. White shirt and black cardi from my closet, Amazon circle skirt with planets, hair up and crazy. Comfy and fun.
Ok, I was looking through iSpy books last night and lightbulb! Could you do a thrift challenge for outfits inspired by the iSpy books? I mean... there's clowns in there.
My roommate’s shitzhu mix is going as Paddington (found a the perfect blue coat on Facebook marketplace!) and I’m making a marmalade sandwich costume out of felt for her cat. It’s gonna be so cute and stupid
I just love your witchy knotty friend - and would like to suggest MACRAMADAME MIM as her name. The flag could look really pretty as a table cloth too, or a curtain with café clips. You are amazing, Kathleen, I feel so happy every time I see there's something new to watch!
"The Ring thrift flip" 🤣OMG I would have loved to see that. When are you ever gonna find a tiny well again?? This thrift trip was especially unhinged I loved it
Quick correction note of love from NC/TN: Appalachia/Appalachian is pronounced with a hard "ch." You can remember it this way, "If you mispronounce Appalachia, I'll throw an apple at cha." The entomology of the name is bizarre and a fun rabbit hole to go down. Also, I too find myself dressing like a boy I'd have a crush on in middle school. It's a vibe.
My thrift store organizes Halloween/autumnal things together near the front and jack(-o-lantern)s up price this time of year. But there was a pumpkin-esc basket in their bountiful basket area. You may not notice it at first glance but it is. The bands of thin wood strips layer vertically give a slight hint of the thick ridges and recessed grooves, and it tapers in ever so slightly at the top. I snatches it for $2 (its a big basket) and have my small live pumpkins nestled in it/overflowing out of the top. 5:23- immediately think "mod to be a Doctor Who weeping angel"
I saw some cursed dolls/puppets at the thrift store today and totally thought of you 😂. I purchased a dinosaur printed boilersuit and I can't wait to wear it.
I remember when witchy and magical items were so hard to find and we mult ipurposed items in our circles. Now witchy and magical items are tendy, available and at a good price or better yet thrifted, my Witch heart flutters
I think the good thing about not having a lot of storage space is that you can more easily figure out what is really important to you to keep! I LOVE your Happy Halloween banner! That is such a great find.
My local thrift stores have been such a bust with quirky & fun Halloween decorations, so thank you for this video so I can live vicariously through your fun finds, this was one of my favorite comfy vids from you! Also, that outfit with the orange set with the Halloween vest?! ALSO one of my favs! 😍
What a giggle that was. 🖤.. hallowe’en costume for me this year just a black midi dress with a stars and moons pattern. But I did have lonesome bat roosting in my eaves which fluffed up my heart🦇⭐️🌙⭐️
I'm dressing as Howl from Howl's moving castle! I'd love to see other Ghibli characters (also my dog Bear will be dressing as an angel bc he is a little white dog, makes him easy to put wings on
i will be waiting with pen and paper ready to take NOTES for next week’s video!! my office goes so hard for halloween, and last year i was the only loser in business casual 😅
I had a Sheltie that was afraid of his own shadow but he would hunt snakes and bite them in half. He was a silly love.. Kashi, will be an adorable dust bunny! ❤❤
My favorite decoration is I thrifted a small cake stand with a wooden base and I put a skull underneath it instead of a cupcake. 10/10 recommend. This year I’m going as a pirate! 🏴☠️
Costume ideas: all white as a folder chair, 80s style to be Golden Girls for group dress up, clown core that won’t back down- all the way clown, Barbies and Kens
My favorite costume so far was Mother Nature. I got an ivory colored dress from the Halloween section on clearance. I clipped on birds and sewed on leaves an flowers (all from the days I worked at a craft store) and made a circlet of leaves for my head. I'm still gearing up to be the Headless Horseman one of these days.
def gonna join the subscriber train! loved everything about this video 💕💕 - for the question, i have a few costumes, but the one that i am making this year instead of having the items for already is a decora style alien 👽💚🌌
Not gonna lie, was kinda hoping the goose friend would make it home because of the pumpkin orange feet but alas, his time for freedom will come one day.
I absolutely love watching you!!you are funny, entertaining and so quirky. I Wish you were my neighbor so we could hang out all the time!! Halloween is my favorite
I can’t decide whether I wanna be a clown or vampire (or in the transformation process, like Lucy in Dracula) because I could do both with the same outfit, just different accessories and makeup
hahaha when i read this i read it like... won't we all be skeletons one day? i'm here for the morbid humor. thanks for the chuckle - intentional or not!
getting ready for an early halloween party while binging and enjoying your spooky videos! my original costume idea fell through, so i'm becoming myself as a Tim Burton character, both for the party and for halloween this year. not really "office-friendly" imo, but simple and doable for people who already dress dark and can do some fx makeup lolz
I went the the oddities and curiosities expo this weekend! I also didn't come out with anything but this amazing vintage sewing box that I can't believe no one bought!
4:11 It's a little funky, but I kind of love it and was actually thinking about getting it. 😂 I thought that was brand-new in Target this year from the John Derian collection. Guess the previous owner hated it too, lol.
I'm going as slasher!velma dinkley hehe. It was after I bought a cute cropped orange turtleneck sweater from Goodwill that I got the idea of going as her. After that I started buying all the pieces to my costume! (Most I got thrifted/cheap price). But regular Velma felt boring to me, so I bought the ghostface knife from Spirit Halloween and a tube of fake blood from Walmart to switch things up a bit
Me and my husband are going as Bob and Linda Belcher, my kiddos are a Mandalorin and Kirby. However, Kirby kiddo is 5 and we had to get an adult onesie (all they had was Pikachu in the kids onesies and that's what he wanted) so I am going to need to work some magic on it.
Loved that video, thank you for the vibe! This year our Halloween party theme is "Stranger Things / 80s" so I'll go as Will Byers (but make him possessed), my cat will turn into a demorgorgon (not sure she'll love it but we'll see).
Costume ideas? GO!!! I'll go first: 🥚
A raccoon dressed up like a skeleton eating a pumpkin.
Crayon specifically a orange crayon 😂
Corn
I’m making a Queen Bouncilia costume for my 6year old. Lol
👹
“Slightly spooky adjacent items that aren’t specifically Halloween but, like, could belong in a witch’s house” is my entire decor aesthetic year round
Same here! Sugar skulls & weird witchy do-dads all over 365
THIS 🖤🖤🖤
Yes. Lol so is mine. My coworkers literally thought my living room was a downloaded background on our zoom meetings until one noticed a candle's flame was actually moving 😂
Possibly slipped into Miss Havisham's house? My total aesthetic 😂
I love this
Spooky thrifting is something I crave deep within my soul. I think it's the goblin within me.
the gremlinz who get it, get it
When I was little my late aunt would dress up in her clown attire and volunteer at events that happened in our local park. All the kids loved her and she would always have those little strawberry candies that she would pass out to the kids, it was a great time
This is so sweet. Thank you for sharing this! :)
I am so glad I decided to wear my spookiest pumpkin shirt today 🎃It's always a VIBE with Kathleen!

cute & stupid is the most powerful combo!!!!! send me pix if you don't mind/forget!!! :o)
Dear Kathleen, thank you for being you 🧡👻🎃

That macrame? witch is the best Halloween decoration I have ever witnessed. 😍
screaming boy vase w a dahlia!!! brings unparalleled joy and maybe a skosh of fear
Every time ghost choir starts to play it just brings me joy! That's for making it spoopy up in here.
Thank you for this video, Kathleen. I'm not American and I don't celebrate Halloween, but I need escapism right now.
@maya-gur695 I hope that things get better soon, and I wish you well!
@@MLiesel Thank you!

Come on people!! Let’s get our stinky Queen to 60K!!! 🎃🎃🎃🎃

Go team!! We did it!! 🥰 Congratulations Kathleen! We’re here for you.
Repainting those book vases spooky would have been super cool!
Those corndles are amazing 🕯️

I’ve never heard a RUclipsr say before that they wouldn’t want to have a million subscribers, and I gotta say, it’s a pretty refreshing thing to hear!
I saw some cursed dolls/puppets at the thrift store today and totally thought of you 😂. I purchased a dinosaur printed boilersuit and I can't wait to wear it.
The energy of this video is unmatched. There's no word for it. But I've never seen this exact energy before.
this halloween season really does something to my mind, body and soul 🎃
That beanie is 100% for a PaRappa the Rapper costume!!!
👃👃👃👃👃👃!
I remember when witchy and magical items were so hard to find and we mult ipurposed items in our circles. Now witchy and magical items are tendy, available and at a good price or better yet thrifted, my Witch heart flutters
This video is undeniably motivating! -- "Progress results from persistent effort.."
this channel brings me SO MUCH joy. I love your little trinkets you find it makes me wanna go thrifting 😆😆
The staircase is giving rocky horror on broadway. Even Kashi gets the haunted vibes.
omg wait I had a cat pumpkin candle like that as a child! that thing is probably over 20 years old. I want it so badly 🤩 lmao
I think the good thing about not having a lot of storage space is that you can more easily figure out what is really important to you to keep! I LOVE your Happy Halloween banner! That is such a great find.
And learn how to get creative with furniture, shelving, things that double as storage like ottomans, etc
My local thrift stores have been such a bust with quirky & fun Halloween decorations, so thank you for this video so I can live vicariously through your fun finds, this was one of my favorite comfy vids from you! Also, that outfit with the orange set with the Halloween vest?! ALSO one of my favs! 😍
Same! They skipped Halloween entirely and went straight to Christmas. It's been really disheartening for us goblins!
What a giggle that was. 🖤.. hallowe’en costume for me this year just a black midi dress with a stars and moons pattern. But I did have lonesome bat roosting in my eaves which fluffed up my heart🦇⭐️🌙⭐️
The vintage black and white bowl f you flip it over it looks like an eyeball!🤣 👁️
loved this! the ghost shaped eyeball guy at 11:42 is made by Studio Arhoj in Copenhagen! I have a few and they have ~excellent vibes~ !
Top tier thrift finds. Corn candles??? C'mon. Incredible.
My boyfriend and I are going as psychedelic Alice and the mad hatter. Thrifted everything and all I have to do now is tie-dye my apron and his vest!
I have a cow print pit/collie and I've always wanted to do pastel goth strawberry milk farmer duo
I'm dressing as Howl from Howl's moving castle! I'd love to see other Ghibli characters (also my dog Bear will be dressing as an angel bc he is a little white dog, makes him easy to put wings on

You can make some really cute simple candle holders with clay if you don't find any!! 👻🧡🎃🦴
Honestly, I feel so validated every time you express your fear of teens. Unfortunately I am a parent & one will live with terrifying teens
as someone else with bangs, brown hair, and glasses, daria is always my quick back up
My favorite decoration is I thrifted a small cake stand with a wooden base and I put a skull underneath it instead of a cupcake. 10/10 recommend. This year I’m going as a pirate! 🏴☠️
I was thinking the cookbook cookie jars could be painted over as (hear me out) spellbooks!
I was going to do Morticia Monday and Pageant Winner Barbie on Tuesday in the office.
My rooster is going to be a cowboy with crocheted chaps.🐔
My puppy and I were Bee-Witched last year (pup was a bee 🐝 and I was a witch 🧙♀️) 🎃👻🐈⬛🧡🖤

The sustainability Insta account livekindly 'helped themselves' to your haunted painting idea. Literally the same starter picture.

I wish I could double subscribe for that house tour because I did kinda tear up a bit when I saw those stairs
I giggled at 'cook some bakies' 🎃
That smoky jug looks like Whistler from Adventire Time. Can’t unsee it!
Kathleen is so quirky love her ❤
The witch is ICONIC
Finding out we live near each other, state-wise makes me want to be your friend even more ❤😂
def gonna join the subscriber train! loved everything about this video 💕💕

the corns are so good🌽🌽
The black gloved hand on that tiny ghost friend
Nothing says thrift store like “I hate them both but I wanted to show you.”
Our 13 year old sweet mutt is going to be Chewy. ❤
Deeply enjoyed this slightly unhinged video. Also enjoyed the corndles. Keep up the fine work.
THE SNOOPY SHIRT!!!!! 😭❤ soso jealous
I will now always say “cook some bakies” oml 😂
October babies live for Halloween
I had that little black and purple bat candle when I was a kid!!! It was my favorite! 🖤🦇
Shocked you left the cook book cookie jars… hello??? Repaint em into Spell books!!
Our pup is a couch hippo all year round 😂 Halloween is a favorite
I love punny costumes. Last year i was Smartie Pants PhD. Glued smarties to a pair of old plaid pants, button down with a bow tie. Cheap & easy
omg every time you feature your house in a video i scream because it’s so beautiful?? that mid-century light fixture and the staircase?? hello
I’m sensing a PaRappa the Rapper hat 👀🐸
👀👉👈
My first instinct was an Elmer’s glue bottle but you’re probably right 😅
That sniff shesh was giving me flashbacks to childhood dog times 🐶❤😂
The outfit tho during the haul portion is E-MACCULATE HELLO
maybe not so much a thrifting project, but ms. frizzle is a fun diy project!! i'm going as her this year, and making the dress has been so fun :]
RETURN OF THE KING (little buddy)!!!! 🐑🖤
I’m still stuck on the giant sign that just said EGG
yeah i'm with you on that one LOL
with so much love i say you give me Philomena Cunk's vibes, must be the goofy but haunted eyes
Louie Zong music fits your vibe so well!
Just going to continue to watch a ton of your videos in hopes to develop a dollop of your personality
I absolutely love watching you!!you are funny, entertaining and so quirky. I Wish you were my neighbor so we could hang out all the time!! Halloween is my favorite
Also, I have a plastic snake skeleton in my living room that’s supposed to be a Halloween decoration, but he’s always there hanging out :D
I can’t decide whether I wanna be a clown or vampire (or in the transformation process, like Lucy in Dracula) because I could do both with the same outfit, just different accessories and makeup
I'm extremely late to the party but OMG I AM NOW A DAVID PUMPKINS STAN THANK YOU 🤣
My dog Seamus is going to be a skeleton...but then again, we all are. Skeleton family!!
hahaha when i read this i read it like... won't we all be skeletons one day? i'm here for the morbid humor. thanks for the chuckle - intentional or not!
I'd love to see you cosplay as one of the Aunts from the movie Practical Magic Kathleen!!
The Halloween camp flag could also be used as a spooky tablecloth
getting ready for an early halloween party while binging and enjoying your spooky videos! my original costume idea fell through, so i'm becoming myself as a Tim Burton character, both for the party and for halloween this year.
not really "office-friendly" imo, but simple and doable for people who already dress dark and can do some fx makeup lolz
I never leave comments but I’m in love I’m obsessed I am watching all of your videos at great speed your channel is my favorite thing rn
🥹 I’m so honored! Thanks for being here, my lurker friend! 💫💕
@@KathleenIllustrated you responded! You are the coolest 🥺😊
Our 5yo is making us all dress up as Toy Story characters. I have to be bo peep 😢

That second turkey platter looks exactly like the brand new one from John Derian at Target that I just paid $25.00 for!
Oh but I kind of … want a blood crystal? So weird and terrifying but in a cool way
