Perfect For Spring Thrifted & Styled Decor  

Thrift store prices here are crazy. I'm finding antique stores can sometimes beat the price of a thrift store and you get the real deal . Love the toilet paper holder.

You can never have enough toile 👍

I vote to keep the toile and shorten the lace curtains. Looks lovely and you got such a good deal on them for $3. Really like the egg covered jars for Easter. Such a cute idea.

There is nothing " Thrifty " about thrift stores anymore. So sad. I always enjoy your videos.

Even though the prices have skyrocketed at the thrift stores, you still manage to come away with some great items and at reasonable prices! Love that toilet paper holder, and the toile curtains are beautiful! Looking forward to seeing your porch makeover!

Prices have gone sky high. Many times I can get the item new at a discount store for less. Love the blue and white vases.

The curtain fabric is sooo charming it doesn't matter what length they are! I quite like the shorter length 💙

I love the vases. They came out beautifully. I agree the thrift prices are out of control!❤

Our thrift store prices are raising and it’s affecting the resellers. I love your decorating style! You’re a kindred spirit! Love your videos and decorating and project ideas.

You are right! Thrifting has become quite expensive. Love the curtains since they stop at the sill they look perfect!

Those toile curtains are wonderful. They are perfect. This video was very fun. Thank you. ❤

Lynsey, this is a tough time of year, buying groceries is exhausting, prices just on regular basics items seem to rise like the Tide, I live near the beach of the Atlantic Ocean 😎. Thrifting has become a natural activity for us, but the prices have gone through the roof, it all depends how hungry I am to bring home that Treasure. I find antique malls are filled with goodies, you need to know stuff, and study your Reference Books. I often to go new antique malls, check out their prices and see what items are trending. Your toile curtains are perfect, long or short they work!👏🎉👏🎉 Looking forward to seeing your front porch make over, you have magical hands. Bags still packed for 🇫🇷, we will go off to your back walled garden and remove the old/dead brush to prepare for your new wonderful view from your kitchen 😁❤️😁❤️🇫🇷

Toile curtains look great. It all depends on the look you want. Longer curtains look sumptuous. Shorter curtains look crisp and neat.

I love the toile curtains and they are fine with the length . GREAT FIND ❤

Always love toile finds, but I think my favorite today were the little birds! I like the jam jar/candy jar idea!

Yes, the prices are getting ridiculously high. It's happening everywhere. Love the birds.

I love the birdies. I would have bought them too! Perfect for your front porch. 😊

The new curtains look gorgeous! Love your style.

I love the toile curtains for your bedroom - and the vases turned out pretty.

Love the toile curtains. I would leave the bread box as is. I remember seeing some birds like these. Such a good haul.

The curtains are great, I know you will rustic it up , I loved that term.When you said bobs your uncle and Fanny’s your aunt I thought yes English sayings.xx🐝🐝🐝

Loved the lamp with the cherubs on the base.I loved the plates with the artichokes on.xxxx🐝🐝

Love Toile also. The shorter length look so lovely. ❤

Loved the bread box. Angel. Birds. Toilet paper holder Curtains. Good job

You can never have too many dishes. We don't eat out often so it's nice to change plates.

Stunning vases, just stunning

Love the toile curtains..theyre lovely 😍

The prices are outrageous that stuff is going to just collect dust very disappointed in the thrift stores see you next time beautiful blessed lady 😊❤❤

Oh thanks so much I really appreciate it ❤

Yes, prices at most of the thrift stores I used to shop at have gone out of control! In a really short span of time the thrifting craze has just exploded. I’m skipping all Goodwills, even the Suncoast Humane Society stores that I used to love.. I continue to search for smaller out of the way thrift stores and do shop more at real antique stores where I have come across some treasures! I am much more selective of what I buy now. I love your shorter toile curtains and the old TP holder 👍🏻🕊️

Hi Lynsey. Those toile curtains are fantastic, what a find. I would keep them and add something to make them go to the floor. I loved the plastic cherubs mirror decorative pieces. Toilet roll holder amazing. Looking forward to your porch makeover and that cane lantern painted up will look brilliant on the porch. Happy Easter, love from Sunderland UK 🇬🇧.

It is obviously because everything is high now! You are not wrong!

Hi Lynsey!!! I love the items you got!!!!!! So pretty!!!! Always love seeing your finds!!!! I hope you have a very blessed week friend xo 🩷🥰

Great job on the vaseses. They look so good.

Hi Friend, I understand the flustration at the thrift stores and sometimes at yard sales prieces. The ship book end/ door stop are awesome! , but I agree the prices was out there. I probably would have picked up the wooden trinket boxes if the prices was reasonable. Cardinals were a great find Lynsey. Love the curtains, very nice. Great price! I think you should kept the trill curtains. I really enjoyed the Easter treat jar for the Grandkids, Lynsey, Thank You.

Yes, the prices in thrift shops are ridiculous. These days, I only go to church thrift shops (and even they are getting pricey). It's yard and rummage sales for me, and they won't start in my neck of the woods until May (through early Oct). Love the Toile curtains. I've been saving my jars as I'm trying not to use plastic for leftovers. Now to get rid of all that Tupperware.

Always pick up toile. Always and they look fantastic 💙 as does your blue Willow jars and Easter treat jars 🤍🤍🤍

Love the toile, you cud add a band of drop clot on the bottom. The longer is richer. Elizabeth

Thrifting is a new game, I still think we’ll do well as it is our passion/ but all of older thrifters are adjusting to the stacked deck. Elizabeth

Your right the prices are insane in alot of thrift stores. They are high now in all thrift stores. Its a shame.

and Mrs T Nice video again from you. I agree with you about charity shop price increases here in the UK they have been like that for a while but I have decided it is what it is so if i like something I go ahead and buy it anyway

We are still shopping in the video, but I feel compelled to say I’m beyond impressed that you are showing restraint knowing you’ll be down sizing and moving to your new maison in the future. And I feel your regret on passing by that long bread basket for $5. 😔

You could add a solid band of colour to the bottom of your toile curtains to make them floor length.

I have one of those birds, blue one in my garden lol. I love all the curtains!! I think the shorter ones look just fine. I asked someone at the second hand store about the prices. She said all the utilities, rent on the building and such has gone up so much they had to. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Love the little treat jars. But bummer my grandkids are all too big for that now! ☹️ 🐰🐇🥰

I love Toile as well! I never tire of it. Have it in my bay window/eating area of my kitchen, my dining room and a guest bedroom. Love the blue and white vases! The children will love the jars of treats!

The brown jug was really cute, but I dont blame you for refusing to pay a high price for it. The retro🍞 box is nice! I also love the 🧤 I think the toile curtains are pretty. You can cut the lace curtains. Will you be making a sign with the wooden board @9:18? Good idea getting those 🐦🐦. I had imagined them painted white or a pale blue! 😊The cherubs and mirror are cute. Thats a cute toioet paper roll. I can imagine a 🐦 inside the wooden lantern. The decoupage vose turned out great! The easter jar is a great idea I will try. I find myself saving glass mayo jars. They come in handy! 🥰😇🍞 🕯️ 🐦 🧻

Prices are crazy everything has gone up. ❤️

I agree. Prices are too high nowadays. A lot of thrift stores are for profit. It seems to me that many of the thrift stores now seem to see themselves as antique dealers or fancy boutiques. My area is West Coast USA, Oregon State.

Our thrift store prices are also insane right now. Our area has one donation and one consignment shop. People seem to be donating less and consigning more. Better prices and selection now at the consignment shop even though they take a 50% fee. With such high prices, thrift shops are jeopardizing their businesses. Sad.

I think prices are too high and I haven't been out thrusting for awhile. I am donating and downsizing at this point. I so enjoy watching your tbrifting adventures.🌷

Lynsey! Good eye on your pickings. Can't wait to see what you do with the birds and lantern. Suggestion...slow down your video when in the store, I get dizzy when you move fast, had to fast forward.😊

Prices are ridiculous at thrift stores now. I asked an employee at Goodwill and she said they have people who look up prices on the internet. The problem is, they go by the asking price and not the sold at price. Also, they don’t reduce the price for damages or missing parts. They are not selling as much as they used to, but they don’t care.

Where I’m from our thrift stores are good, but I went to a Goodwill store in Virginia and I find there prices are extremely high…like you said these are second hand items…I was really shocked when I saw the prices…I thought these are like from Antique shops…in my area we don’t have Goodwill stores…just thrift stores, Salvation Army store and St. Vincent De Paul store…I love the toilet paper holder you found I’ve never seen one like that and the curtains what a great price…the length of the twall curtains I think looks good…I’d use them…oh the brass ship you saw was BEAUTIFUL…the price though…Eeek…

Inflation. Started during covid. There were shortages and factories closed, so the stores increased prices astronomically. Truck drivers quit jobs. Less shipments of products. It's ridiculous.

Prices are out of control where I am as well. Yesterday though I did find a crystal bowl from Tiffany & Co for 2 bucks. Its estimated at $800 ! So that floored me. And I found a fantastic fox hunting framed print for $14. This was all at St. Vincents thrift store. Normally I wouldn't even spend $14 on much of anything...but it is a massive print, and its gorgeous. Our Goodwill's are an absolute joke in terms of prices. Its obscene.

You are not alone in thinking that all thrift/charity shop prices have gone through the roof. I sometimes feel stingy because the money goes to good causes, but, i have heard myself say “ HOW MUCH” I am a true Yorkshire lass and love a bargain but I do t like been taken for a ride. I also have a house in France and I have found over the last 15 years things have gone through the roof, so much we have had things stolen out of garden ( old garden tools etc) and seen them for sale at vide greniers 😮😢 xx

The prices at Value Village stores in Ottawa are insane! I have boycotted them. They put a 2.99 or 3.99 sticker on a dollar store item. They price really out of style giant tiger dresses at 19.99. They weren’t even that price new! Value Village has been in the news recently for overpricing.

I agree that prices have got a bit ridiculous but it makes it all the more fun to find the bargains that have slipped through the cracks at the larger thrift stores. I often find things more reasonably priced at the small non-profit shops that benefit charities like hospice or animal rescue, as they are staffed by volunteers & are not as popular with "pickers" & antique dealers (nothing against them---they're making a living & I'm just having fun!) b/c it takes too much time to visit all the small thrift stores. Like you, I'm trying to be good. But oh it is so very difficult to do!! Curtains look great, you can't see behind the bed anyway & yes, always pick up toile,(might put that one my headstone: "She always picked up toile." What do you think? ).

When you find a dollar tree item that is $1.25 (plastic no less) and still able to get at the dollar tree, but find it at the good will for $3!!! you know thrifting is not thrifting anymore. However that 1st copper kettle was a good deal. A fake copper kettle at Ross or Marshalls is now $20 so I'd take a real one (even dented a bit) for $13.

I agree To much

Thrift stores need a reset or something the prices have gone up so much! So upsetting

Never enough toile! Cut the lace!

THRIFTERS UNIT!!! Hi Lynsey and no, you are definitely not overreacting to the high prices you are seeing in the thrift stores. We live in the US and it is appalling how high these prices are these days. After all, they are NOT paying for my time, energy or gas to deliver these items to their doorstep. They are getting FREE inventory after all!! Will someone please tell The Good Will that they are NOT and never have been an antique store. Glad they are for charity but they are now biting the hand that literally feeds them. I'll be glad to donate to an organization who will pick up my unwanted items at the end of my driveway and I'll save on gas that way too! The sooner we all stop donating to the thrift stores they will hopefully get the message. When you can buy new items for the same price why buy used??? The prices you were showing were way higher then I would ever pay. $13.99 for those pictures and it looked like they had mold dots on the mats. Thanks for brining this up bc we all see it here too. The Greedy buggers!! They can keep it all as far as I'm concerned! I've stopped shopping in them too! Enjoy your day!!

The prices are SO HIGH. I barely shop anymore. I prefer Marketplace

American thrift stores are pretty ridiculous price wise. Now the one I visit that is all for charity has reasonable prices. The Goodwill stores over here need to check themselves- their goods are donated- their prices are stupid!

Which value village do you go to?

Are you English living abroad

You aren’t overreacting-the prices are ridiculous. I am finding better prices at the antique stores these days. You really have to search for bargains at the thrift stores.

Wow this is a thrift store??? EVERYTHING you picked up was way over priced. Find you another store! We have many thrift stores in my area and most everything is cheap except for a few things however I noticed all stores are increasing prices because more and more people are discovering thrift store shopping as other retailers are out of reach price and quality wise.
