Cottagecore Whimsigoth Thrift Haul! ✨🌿 + Call your grandpa, he misses you... 

That was very sweet of u to chat with "Grandpa" at the thrift store. I would have done the same. Lots of lonely, interesting folks out there. Anyway, I'm a sucker for candle holders. So, 👍 You found some nice things once again 😊

how funny would it be if the grandkid of the man saw this video and identified him

Thank you for welcoming me, as I -am- a new subscriber as of yesterday, and I am looking forward to relaxing and watching through a multitude of aesthetic playlists. 🌿 So my grandfather built their home in the sixties. It was the cutest two bedroom cottage with a loft and the kind of magical attic with mysterious doorknob and secrets within that dreams (and childhood memories) are made of. It's literally my dream house. When they both passed away around 2010 (my grandmother lived to be 101!) my family had a massive estate sale and the house itself was also sold. I was in my early 20s at the time and just a waitress back then, and I had no reliable income. I basically begged my family to let me buy it and make payments directly but it was not meant to be. My family can be a bit harsh like that. But I did pack up many beautiful items from that home, including the mysterious attic doorknob that I have displayed on my bookshelf, and someday that doorknob will be on my own mysterious attic door. ✨🖤

That's so sweet of you with that grandpa, and it's so weird how us neurodivergent people are able to just clock each other in one conversation (once we know that we're ND ofc or suspect it). My grandad was super thrifty, he used to be unable to resist hunting around in skips when he saw them😂 he'd turn up with something for me as a kid or a piece of furniture my parents might like and my dad would be like ".... Did you find this in a skip again?" My grandad would look sheepish, "No ofc not"(read my grandad's bits with a northern Irish accent) " *sigh* Well did you wash it at least?" "Well ofc I washed it!" And that's how I got my first bike amongst other things 😂

It was so nice of you to chat with the grandpa 🥺 Thank you for talking about grandparents and how important it is to talk to them and go see them. My grandpa was very creative, I think that'a where I get it from. He had a workshop full to the brim with stuff and he was always making something. I remember the smell and the vibe of the workshop, it was mysterious and slightly scary, but I have fond memories 💛

My grandparents helped raise me, I had a single mom who worked and when I was small put herself through nursing school. I never had babysitters, I just always stayed with grandma and grandpa. I was also their first grandchild so I was definitely favored. I have such good memories with them, they were both the kindest, most loving people. I try to have those qualities too, to honor them. I miss them so much but I'm so grateful they were both such a big part of my life! I am certain my grandpa was neurodivergent too, he was a very quiet man but very intelligent and self-taught. He read constantly. He knew how to fix everything. He had to leave school in the 9th grade during the depression to go to work, but he knew so much about physics, trigonometry, calculus, chemistry, history. He had special interests in all those things. I think my grandma may have had ADHD. She was a social butterfly, could talk the ear off anyone, and literally could never sit still even into her 80's. She was always involved in so many things despite being a traditional stay at home wife and mother of 4. She also taught Sunday school, babysat other children, planted and tended a huge vegetable garden every summer, ran and organized church functions and prayer groups, cooked food for church functions and people's weddings, showers, graduations, etc. She was always busy, always taking care of others, and always cooking and feeding people.

Perfect timing for a new video! I’ve just had the most stressful week and chucking on your content while I’m working keeps me focused. I loved the discussion about talking to your grandparents. Another reason is because you might find one day you’re no longer able to. I spent a lot of time with mine as a kid, but as I grew up and shortly before my Nana passed away, I hadn’t spoken to her in quite some time. I always regretted that. One of my cousins mentioned at her funeral how she always knew what you wanted to talk about. Even if she didn’t know much about cosplay, she’d always ask me about it. And apparently she asked my cousin about makeup when that’s not something we’d ever discussed but it was something my cousin loved. She was very considerate like that.

Sadly, all my grand parents have also passed away, and I would also encourage people to talk to them while you still can! I very much miss my grandma and grandpa on my mothers side. Me and my grandpa would go for walks in the forest and we made a small hut and small tables and chairs that we put in the hut. I was very fascinated by moles (the animals) as a kid, and we used to imagine that a mole was living in our tiny hut. I also remember my grandma making clothes for my dolls using her old clothes, and I think this is partly what inspired my own creativity. I also used to work in a nursing home where I talked a lot to old people, and they have so many unique stories and experiences that our generation will never have. Some might have been alive during WW2, some might have experienced famine and depressions and well, life with less technology. They are worth listeining to!

I love hearing old people's stories. I heard about an old man who lived on a mountain in Africa and it was freezing by the time he finished work at night and an old lady telling me what our town used to be like. My partner's grandfather had a really interesting life and it's a shame he passed before anyone got to really record his stories. He loved rescuing things from the trash and was possibly a bit neurospicy. He had a partial missing finger from a woodworking accident.

My paternal Granny & her sisters (my Great Aunts) have passed away long ago. They were major influences on the woman I’ve become. Thank you for urging people who have no trauma barriers against visiting their elders to stop by.

Aww, thank you for how sweet you were to that older gentleman, and also me over here being ADHD and not diagnosed/treated until 38 feeling like the older gentleman needed a hug for dealing with it undiagnosed so long. And thank you for bringing awareness to the challenges of being time-blind too, definitely with you and feeling comradery in that and also definitely the fairycore/cottagecore finds!

I miss having grandparents! I still have aunts and uncles. Good reminder to keep in touch! Think my dad did airplane mechanics in the Marines during the Vietnam War. I miss his stories!

I only grew up with one of my grandparents but she was amazing. She would always have some sort of candy or cookies for me when I went to visit her. I always loved looking at her knickknacks she had everywhere. When she passed away I was given two glasses humming birds that were hers and now they hang in my room. Miss her every day

You really are a thrifting wizard! 😂 And I agree, talk to your grandparents! I live with my maternal grandmother (the only grandparent I have) and always take the time to listen to her about her day 🧡

Used to hang around at my grandparents every week end. (Or at their house or at the cabin they had in the woods that grandpa built.) Honestly my best memories of when i was a kid : every saturday we'd eat fried chicken, candy and chips while watching wrestling on TV with grandpa (not my idea lol) or when we'd go walk in the woods near the cabin to see wildlife. Grandpa unfortunatly passed away some time ago and my grandma passed away a few years later. (We're pretty sure she missed arguing with him too much, I'll be honest 😅) I swear we found so much candy hidden everywhere when we clean the house out after they passed away. Grandma was diabetic, and yet we found so many stashes of chocolate covered marshmallows hidden under floorboards... 😂

I spend alot of time with my Grandmother! We go thrifting together alot and I introduced her to boba tea and now its tradition that whenever we hang out we get boba. But I love my Grandma so much, she is the reason I love tea, and she's helped me pattern and sew many of my projects and I just love her so much.

My grandmother is the one Who introduced me to triftshopping and we go together all the time😊 she and I have similar taste and she understands me like no one else. She is my best friend❤

I miss my grandparents and I loved their stories (also hearing them for a x’th time 😅) The tulip artwork is called a relief. A relief is basically a “flat” hanging sculpture Also the pyramid reminds me of the more modern “aesthetic” christmas trees and exactly meant to put a candle underneath 🌟✨

I only really have contact with my grandma on my mums side, but i love her so much and i can't imagine not making time for her. She's quit introverted and quiet but if i call her just to chat she will talk for hours.The oldies need to chat too! This was such a good haul too! so fun

My grandmothers both died recently, I was especially close with granny on my mum's side, she was a very kind and loving person who could get along with anyone and always made time to play with us grandkids ❤

Love your energy and your esthetic, but most of all love your kind heart. Keep being sweet. You are making a lot of people out here happy!

honestly i'd love to meet a grandpa at a thrift store, it would be nice to hear about his life.

I feel like the pyramid/candle cover is supposed to be a Christmas tree! At least those were the vibes I got. On the note of grandparents: I grew up with three grandmothers (two plus a bonus) and was closest to my bonus grandma but she and my grandpa lived far away, so I didn’t grow up with that stereotypical “get spoiled” grandparent. So sometimes I don’t really get when people talk so fondly about theirs. But now I live next door to my husband’s grandmothers and they spoil my daughter, so it’s pretty cool :)

When I was 8 my Grandma took me to the Goodwill in Portland, Oregon, and started me on my love for thrifting! I bought a cookbook from the 1920s for 10 cents!

I never got to meet them. But my great grandparents were world travelers during the 40s-50s. I am estranged from my grandparents whom kept their belongings. But I have two crystal glass perfume bottles from Czechoslovakia that they had purchased. They are two of my most treasured possessions. I like to think my great grandma and I would get along.

So many good finds love the blue bottle!

SHE SAID BACK TO BACK CONTENT SLAYYYIIINNNGGG :D

thank you for acknowledging that grandparents can be narcissists and sources of trauma too. I was sad at first when you mentioned talking to them more often bc people tend to refuse to hear about the bad situations or to believe those who are estranged from grandparents for good reasons. they tend to compare to their own grandparents who could never do such a thing, but not everyone got dealt the same cards.

Bonus video!! It was fun to see

"When Harry met Scotty"- lol

My one remaining grandparent out of six (yes, six) is my thrifty granny. Sad to say she can't go anymore because we had a blast when I was a teen.

I have too many stories lol... A great Uncle,meaning my grandpa's brother who was like my best friend while I was a girl.My dads parents, I was even a caregiver to my grandma. A gent I call my adoptive Dad , I could go on. I love hanging out with people older than me as well as younger....I have now become that grandma that just needs so.done to talk to as well lol. As far as favorite item you got, I think I would say definitely the sweater.

My grandpa on my moms side is literally the sweetest human being ever and it’s so funny because if he asks me while I am at his house to do some chores, I’m just like no problem, but if it’s my parents I complain but I would do anything for that man fr

So … when I was in college I had such a hard time when I saw an elderly guy alone. Sometimes I could just feel that their wife had died. I love talking to Grandpas these days. I’m always making time for the them, every grandparent I had has died. Plus, old people rule, after all I hope to make it to geezerville myself someday 🥰

that robe and blue bottle!! so dreamy! 😍

I literally just reminded my fiancee to call his grandma soon, because you never know how long your grandparents will be around. Mine are all dead and I wish I had talked to them more when they were alive, but I was never good at initiating or sustaining conversations at that time.

My grandpa was born in 1929 so we would ask him weird questions like what were the roads made of, did you have zipper flies. He was really good at identifying classic cars too

Yay for bonus videos! Was nice to watch during my break 😊 Harry sounds a lot like my grandpa, will talk your ear off if you let him 🤣

I put your video on my fb to share and it's amazing and awesome I told my friends. Just like me crazy and weird. It's so true about granny's alone at home or grandpa alone at home. So chill when we fire a good hello and we ask what you're looking for or can we help or cool outfit lol it's just us trying to be extroverted lol. Love that you would steal me away lol. Let's go on a haul. Love the videos never stop being you.😂💛🧡🌼🏵😊

I actually just thrifted one of those pyramid star candle holders at a goodwill also! Mine came with a base, the purple one you found is so cute!

Loved your finds and that robe OMG so gorgeous! All of my grandparents have passed and I miss them so much. They were the glue that held us all together. They had a small, cozy house that we outgrew but still celebrated holidays and that were always fun with them. They had a lake house we spent many summer days at fishing, swimming and having bbqs and fish frys. Thank you for giving him the gift of your time xx♥️😘

Yes, talk to your grandparents while you still can. I was practically raised by my maternal grandmom, and she taught me so much. Literally every craft I know I learned from her. I visit her regularly still, but she suffers from dementia, so you can't really have an 'actual' conversation with her anymore, she just tells all these bonkers stories that don't make any sense. But I still love just hanging out with her, and she's actually really hilarious in her dementia even though the illness itself is tragic.

I will call my mother tomorrow. Thank you for the reminder. I wish my grandparents were still alive to talk to. You are a good hearted person. ❤

Love you're style it's so cool and whimsical ❤

i GASPED when you showed off that robe!! it’s so pretty and i love the little details!

What a perfect timing for this PSA! I've been so busy the last couple of weeks and haven't had the energy to visit my grandma, we usually hang out atleast once a week. Yesterday I went there to help her change batteries in her firealarms and we drank some tea together. I had really missed her and girl you are right, if I don't have time I better make time. We both deserve the time to nurture our relationship!

I'm absolutely going to call my grandma this week 😭

My grandfather is in heaven now but when I was a kid he would tell me all kinds of tall tales. He took off one of his thumbs wood working. I asked him how that happened and he told me he lied and it fell off. I was a pretty honest kid 😂😂😂

I think you might have met my grandpa. I’m not sure where in Cali he stays, but he is a painter of warships/aircraft. And will definitely talk your ear off. 😅

I used to have that same star pyramid candle holder in a marbled white color. It was also thrifted! Fun to see another one!

I've been following for a month now, love your videos Scotty and love how you put things together. I don't have grandparents left but I have some nice memories ❤

You should do a video about online second hand shopping! I’d love to see it

Loved this video. Just got through visiting my grandparents and aunt last week. We had a great time and it was a lot of fun.

Loved the red sweater! I've spotted similar ones on ThredUp before, but have passed on them. Hopefully I can find some in person too!

Your new elderly friend may have also been ASD. He sounds super cute. All of my grandparents have died. I miss them dearly…except for my weird alcoholic Grandfather who took off and started another family in a different state but that is another story for another post. 😂

How are you old enough to know the “bapa booie” reference? #impressed

I miss my grandpa's

Did that price tag say @$24.99 on that brown shirt??? Wtf

I mean, stay in touch if you have a family that actually cares about you, sure. Haha ha... 🥲 Found family for the win!
