GREAT TRIP TO THE THRIFT! THRIFTING 2024 #9 & Haul! + Goodwill Bins Haul! Cottage, Vintage, RESALE! 

I think you have a magical talent. You add things to your home but it never looks cluttered. It looks thoughtful and welcoming ❤ not everyone can do that

The picture of the young woman is called Pinkie and is a famous work done by Thomas Lawrence in 1794. It is a rather tragic story and is often accompanied by The Blue Boy by Thomas Gainsborough. They are both at the Huntington Library in CA.

QLD is an abbreviation of Queensland, a place located on the North East coast of Australia. Hello from the land down under 😊

👋 Nicole, fun thrifting with you. I think you did great on your thrift haul, too. Can't wait till the next time.

Sounds like you are creating possibly a new hobby name instead of junk journaling you could call it art journaling. Thank so much for creating such a lovely video.

The Pink dressed girl is Pinkie painted by Thomas Lawrence in 1794. I love her we had her in our bathroom growing up. She is also paired with Blue Boy. We had him too. I recently bought both for my bedroom. I buffed their frames with gold

Love how you decorate your home with the items you find...pretty!

Love the shopping bag and the epicticion of the Last Supper. I'm glad i got to watch another wonderful video. Thank you❤ ❤❤

The canister with the "70s" orange lid is a vintage Tang canister. It brought back some warm memories.

I don't like to journal either but like the process of using junk and creating something out of it.

Hi Nicole, what a great haul from the bins. I also like to decorate with a little pink for spring, it’s a great pop of colour. The light in your house is great for all your houseplants, they seem very healthy.

Awesome haul! Your color scheme for the spring season is romantic too 🙂🌻♥️

OMG that bunny with the watering can!! SOOO cute!! I can totally see that in a display for spring or a tier tray!! great find at the bins! and she wasn't broken!! I think those Gantz Betsy ceramic pieces go for $20-$25. your picture at the end fits perfectly into your Betty apron.. it was just so cute!

Your print is called "Pinky" she usually is sold with "Blue Boy". I love a gold basket you can use it for all the seasons. Saving all the wonderful things from the landfill, another reason to just love you!

The pretty print of the girl in the pink gown is called “Pinkie”, and was painted in 1794 by a British artist named Thomas Lawrence. She’s usually paired with “Blue Boy” by Thomas Gainsborough.

Ah! Please give her something to water. Even some little flowers in an eggcup. So cute.💓

I was thinking Washi tape on top of print. Read some also suggested ribbon. Lots of fun stuff!

Always a joy and love listening to your stories and thoughts 😊

Good lord...a set of Franciscanware! I have my grandma's set😍

Pinkie and the little pink moss nosegay will look so pretty on a shelf with pink depression glass.

I love collecting old art and the girl print is called "Pinky", she's most times accompanied with a print called "Blue Boy". They're from the 1700's, so very old and very popular with those who do collect old art. I had been looking for a set and was actually given the large odd size 18×14 beautiful old wood framed prints last week.. yes I'm thrilled!!😊 She'll be pretty styled with the little flower! I love the tiny prints too..very cute vignette! The bunny is cute on the mantle🐇 I've been looking for the baby bens too! You scored some great pieces, thanks for sharing😊

That little Dear God plate was so sweet!

I love that bushel basket! You had lots of great finds. 😊

You could use an embroidered hankie for one of those re-usable grocery bags! Love that miniature painting! ✌🏼❤️

I would love to find a glowing piece Love the big basket(I love them outdoors to but same problem, they dont last long because of the weather) Love the print! Love your old sowingmachinetable and how you decorated it. Maybee needs some pastels to add more of a springtouch That mitle painting is realy cute! The print and the florals, grate combo! Grate finds at the bins Thank you for sharing XXX

Enjoyed thrifting with you and your finds.

Sure enjoy your hauls and the thriving.❤❤❤

A couple of frilly paper doilys from the dollar store could be trimmed and fitted around your print as a kind of matting and then you could vary the width to whatever works without it having to be all one width like a regular mat.

I feel the same way about journaling and am now really enjoying “glue booking.” It’s so relaxing and I feel more creative without the constraints of making a productive journal.

An idea for your print in need of a narrow mat...I recently thrifted an old framed map where someone used grosgrain ribbon in place of a mat. They folded the ribbon diagonally on the corners so the corners looked sort of mitered.

Love the miniature oil painting! 🖼️ Years ago I picked a mini oil painting up at an auction for a $1. I use it in vignettes around my home.

Hi Nicole! I loved the green plates. Perfect for St Patrick’s Day,☘️ and Spring👒 I’ve tried journaling sooo many times. I start one each new year, but enjoy it for about a week.🤷🏻‍♀️If anyone reads them someday, at least they’ll know what I was doing in January😜. Glad you enjoyed your vacation. Loved seeing your vlog about it❤️

I don't like Journaling either, now I can get into the pretty things that remind me of special people, places etc. I'm so happy you're taking us to the Pink Elephant!!! Did you learn your decorating skills from your mom. Your house always looks nice, never cluttered 😊

Those Ganz ladies are collectible.😊

I collect Mary Englebreit! Love her whimsy.

Great fun thrifting. Thank you❤

I found teacups and saucers turned into a hanging lamp on fb so cute!

Love watching your videos Nicole!

The little landscape painting you found is gorgeous and I love it on the easel on your sewing cabinet. And your display of transferware above your sewing cabinet is one of my most favourite displays of transfareware anywhere 😍

Oh, the Un Candle. I remember my mom used them all year, but they were especially magical at Christmas time!

I have 4 journals at home and not a single word in any of them. I like your idea…

Really like the treasures you chose…

Yes, the little mirrors are Home Interiors (still have mine). Also have the Tupperware measuring cups, but in boring ivory... 😂. Enjoy your week, love your videos!

You would be able to do one of those bags. You could use one of your cross stitch pieces or a doilies and put it on one of those ready made bags.

You make the best videos, Nicole. 🦕

I love the picture of the lady. You may want to apply a small flat vintage lace or crocheted lace as the border like your would use matting for. 😘❤️👍🏻

Sorry I'm a bit late Nicole 🙂 I had to haul out my books for this one. It's "Ribbon" made by Hazel Atlas in the early 1930's.

Japanese Opera mask are always cool to me

Yes, I want to see your uranium glass! You should have bought them all at that price!

I’m so glad you got the diner mug! They seem to keep hot drinks hot longer!

Lots of good stuff! I love the old magazines the best I think!!

Great haul at the thrift and bins. I love the little rabbit and green dishes. I caught your vlogs from your California trip. You looked so happy. I’ve visited California three times but never as far south as Los Angeles. It’s a beautiful state but the traffic is even worse than New Jersey’s

Aways enjoy your videos. ❤

The picture reminds me of a Jane Austen novel love it ❤️🦘🐨🇦🇺🌏

Mary Englebreit started with greeting cards and expanded from there. Cute and clever with a distinct style. ❤

Love you channel! Great finds and ideas.. 💕

Nicole love your videos!!🥰 That religious plaque is actually from the church in San Juan,TX. I can’t believe you found that. I am actually going there this weekend. It’s 8 hours from where I live.

Love the shape of the frame.

I love your hair like that. Very pretty!

So glad you got the last supper! Wish I was near you to buy it. Those mercury plates🥰 I think I would have gotten them all 😂 I just the other day got a small pitcher!! It is hard to find them now so when I see them it’s a hunted thrill!😂

Hi Nicole 💓 such a lovely trift haul I love it all thanks for sharing always Laura

Funny... When you said the gold frame was to shiny for you i thought you passed it up. I was saying you can buff it to a less shiny sheen. You bought it and said the same thing! 😂

Great video! Lots of cool finds. Love the little painting. I just love tiny art. I have the wall going upstairs as a "collage" wall. I have a variety of small mirrors and then small art. Some from some artist friends and others I've thrifted. (a lot of barn/ farmhouse theme). The great thing about junk journaling...your book, your rules 😀 Thanks for sharing, Nicole 😊

Hi Nicole, I think getting a nice coordinating piece of scrapbooking paper to go behind that picture in the frame instead of a mat would work nicely. I still use my Tupperware measuring cups and love them.....they are the white ones. This month I bought my very first piece of uranium glass, it is a pretty divided dish.

I watch you from across the pond in Ireland and LOVE your channel (and also Rad Resells, best 2 youtube channels l think)

Mary Engelbriet in the 90s/20s was a very popular designer. You would LOVE her style...those commercial pieces were just a part of her "thing". She had a magazine in that time, too, and I have every copy. Her style was what we love!! Very maximalist. Fun things everywhere and repurposed much like today. She actually was a pioneer in what's good now. I don't know if you are familiar with Mary Emmerling, but she was much the same...flea market style. Her's was a step up from the other Mary....a little more polished, but still flea market chic. They were really the forerunners of today. Also 2 other ladies and Iadies who were REALLY into the flea market chic. They had several books, as did both Marys. I don't know if Mary Engelbreit still has new things or not. Her trademark was Life is Just a Chair of Bowlies. Her magazines had paper dolls with outfits in every issue. I was SOOOOO sad when she ceased production.

Your Apple corer is a peeler and corer 🤗. Great thrifting …

The “Diana” mug is from the 80’s. I had one growing up with my name on it as well. Quick trip down memory lane 😊

The bunny with the watering can on the mantle is so cute .

😮you could mat lady pix with coordinating ribbon.

QLD My guess is Queensland. I love the Tupperware measuring cups just for the 3/4 cup.

What a great selection of dishes at your thrift store. I love China dishes. I always joke that I make it my personal mission to save all of the china! If only. I have way too many dishes.

You could sell some junk journals that you make for others, share your talents!

The girl print is Pinky. From the famous Pinky and Blue Boy.

I like that idea of your journaling. I once saw a picture a guy did with cut outs from magazines etc.of old buildings landscaping water etc. He created a beautiful picture that looked like a painting.Just sharing.👍🏻

Hi Nicole 😊

Thanks for taking us thrifting in some cool places

I would want that corelle dish. I don’t have any plates . I have 3 bowls now .

You found some amazing things! Love the tile with the sea turtle in it. It’s beautiful! Enjoyed watching your thrift haul❤

Oh maybe use some thin lace around the lady.

Corning ware is ageless.

i have that pattern cup and saucer and you are correct they are different. My cups flowers are blue and doesn't have a line around the cup..

❤❤❤

Don't feel pressured to '"JOURNAL" as in write. I don't think any of the channels I watch actually journal. They just create. Victorian ladies collected magazine cutouts and scrap and the like. They didn't journal. You might just make a short note on trip pages so your grandkids will know what was going on at that time with you.

Did you notice how much the brown bean pot was

Can you shows us the picture after you do the rub and buff? 😊

❤

Those prices are kinda high🥴 It’s like that at a goodwill we go to and my husband just shakes his head. We have Thrift Giants here and they do color coded sales. We love the 50 percent off and the .99 cents days.

The young woman in the framed print appears to be wearing a Regency gown with an "empire" waistline. In other words, a fashion from the early 1800s during the Napoleonic era. The style of the painting is similar to that of Gainsborough of the late 1700s.

You may or may not know that is the Dionne quintuplets in the ad in Farmer's Wife magazine

I try to think about what an item would cost new. Stained glass items are expensive to make. The glass is costly. So I thought the angels were reasonably priced. Just knowing from my experience making items

💕

Pinkie's real name is Sarah Goodin Barrett Moultin. Age 11 at time of painting. You should read about Pinkie and Blue boy, very interesting, both real people

Nicole... I have purchased from you several times before... I moved from Texas to Ohio -- new shipping address... Can I get the Last Supper Plaque for $25. shipped to 45431

Thanks for telling us about Ablelight Thrift Store! I scored some great clothing pieces for my work wardrobe. Have you ever been to New Day Thrift Store in Little Canada? It’s my favorite honey-hole 🩷

❤❤❤
