The BIGGEST Goodwill in the land! 

I'm a crocheter, Karen. Don't clip those threads on the back. You'll be sorry. Even if knotted they can unravel and the whole thing is ruined. Whoever made this spent countless hours but they were not detailed in their work or they wouldn't have left those loose yarn threads on the back. The proper thing to do is weave those into the piece with a yarn needle. They took the lazy man's way out.

You inspire me so much. I am hopeful that despite all the setbacks in my life, I will make a comeback and the second half of my life will be so much better. ❤

I believe the rarity of that doll considering her eyes being that color was a win. There are so many people with different colored eyes, and to find a doll that replicates themselves is awesome

You know when they make a mistake on a coin or a stamp, it becomes more valuable!! This beautiful doll might be a true valuable treasure!! It’s definitely a great find!

Don't clip them. You have to weave the yarn ends into the same colored pieces. The finishing touches of completing the blanket. It is beautiful.

Roger used the fancy soap, So Funny

62 going into 26 with that awesome energy and positive attitude, you inspire a lot of people and are a great example to those who think 60 is the end of the road. Fantastic business woman!

That Roger is so adorable! He's concerned that he might have used the wrong soap... He's a keeper, Karen!

Do you know you now have me asking my self questions and then answering them? Yes, you do!❤

My mom had 9 children. We lived in the country in Michigan, and she made most of our clothes, and most of our Christmas gifts. She took old glass beer bottle boxes, that the lids were deep and stiff cardboard, and turned them on ends, and made a "wardrobe closet" for all the "barbie" clothes she made, covering the outside with contact paper. She even put a rail in the lids, to use as hanging rods. She made one for each of 4 girls she had at the time, who were old enough for Barbie dolls. I really wish I had that now! She is now a grandmother of almost 30 and great grandmother, still counting (my daughter is due at the beginning of September). She made the oldest 4 granddaughters beautiful Barbie clothes, and "quilts" for their beds, that have little fancy girls, dressed and labeled for the months of the year. It's so precious, I've never had my daughter, now 35, put it on her bed! Most of my family is not sentimental, so if they have something my mom made, they always say, "Give it to Lisa, she'll take it!". And I do! My twin sister was having a garage sale, and went to sell several beautiful things my mom, knitted, needlepointer, painted, sewed, etc.. I asked if I could have it, because there will be a time when my mom isn't here, and we'll never be able to replace those beautiful items she made, with love. My husband is also sentimental, so we've become hoarder, of sorts, of things we had from childhood, and things made with love. All four of my children are minimalists, so they didn't take anything with them when they left our house to live on their own. We don't have the heart to get rid of their things, so we've become savers of their childhood too. But when grandchildren come to visit, they LOVE going to our basement, to find toys to play with. I'm hoping my two sons have children, and will want their childhood toys, many of which, are now vintage. I believe it's so important to keep items made for you, by your mother or grandmother, because that well will be gone one day, when she graduates to her heavenly home!

The doll with the two different colored eyes is spectacular. The eyes make her special and I can imagine anyone would want her. Makes her rare?

Fascinating story of your Mom. Didn't hear you mention she was a dollmaker! It's where you get your wonderful attention for details! Thanks for sharing. 😊 Sweet memory!

The person who made the blanket was going to line the back. Your suppose to leave the yarn long enough to sew in the ends. I would put it local and explain that it will need a lining for the back or leave it off and people will understand what to do.

The doll makes me remember how I used to wear one green colored contact and one clear contact when I was in junior high. I wanted one blue eye and one green eye. 😄🤦‍♀️

I came here to say thank you for your consistency. If its Sunday or Wednesday, I get excited because I know there will be a video from Lavender Clothesline. Thanks for another great video. Now, lets get you to 100K+ subscribers.

Pauline Bjonness Jacobsen designed and sculpted dolls and sold them on QVC here in the UK as well as on her own website. She passed away in 2006. I have a few of her dolls, they are the nicest dolls I’ve ever seen.

I think the doll could be mentioned as a rarity. It should fetch a premium and appeal to collectors.

Love the story of your mom ❤. Roger needs a little more basement space 😂

I believe this was a factory error with the eyes. These can be replaced and there is even a YT video on how to do it! I would just keep her the way she came and really play up on this flaw, sounds like a good auction item to me!

This video is fantastic! You covered something of everything that we are interested in.. i.e. picking, showing items, shipping and updates to your addition. Very, very well done, Karen.

I LOVE Color Street. I started using them during lockdown. I feel they are more natural than gel manicures. Also, it's gotten to the point where I really don't like the manicure salons any more. I can do my nails while watching Lavender Clothesline. :)

that afghan was intended to have a fabric backing. if you cut the yarn close to the knots some of them WILL untie.

Karen, if you ever get tired of reselling consider working for QVC...you know how to sell!

I have to say Karen, your videos are so relaxing for me and I really enjoy your sense of humor. You’re really funny in a very dignified way. Plus, as a new seller I learn so much from you. Thank you!

A very fun video with all the variety of activities of your day 💐 I had to laugh when you were counting the aisles and you said Roger's in the way 😂 I thought For SURE you were going to say.. Oh look at that hot guy now I've lost count!

I am a knitter and crocheter with decades of experience and I learned never to knot the yarn of a finished piece. I was taught to weave the loose ends into the back. The loose ends of your afghan may just need to be trimmed but not cut off completely. This is my experience, others might have a different finishing technique. I hope that was helpful.

Check the nape of the neck on the doll for Pauline's signature and doll # for authenticity. Pauline's doll's bring in big $. On another note, my mother was born with herterochromia. She has one green eye and one brown eye. She's so beautiful.

Such a cute story about the “fancy” soap. 😂 Dylan is very handsome - you have beautiful children - like their Mama 😍

I monitored meals at day care centers for years. I met a little boy with the most beautiful bright blue eye and a beautiful brown eye. Love all your finds the quilt, lampshade and wishing well are very nice. When I was a kid my mother had the most beautiful wishing well the bottom was made of crystal rocks the top was wooden with a working bucket. It was very heavy.

Enjoy your videos! The afghan was absolutely gorgeous! As someone who crochets, I wanted to chime in to say that the extra strings of yarn should have been worked back into the afghan and not left like they were. It’s going to take a lot of work to correct the mistake.

I would have bought that doll in a second, for exactly the same reason!

Beautiful crochet throw - would recommend leaving the yarn without clipping because the buyer can then weave the tails into the squares to protect the integrity of the finished work. I have used the nail polish strips and they are great - so much cheaper than the salon. Love watching you in your great videos! I appreciate all of your work and thought that you put into these videos. Be blessed, dear Karen and Roger!

"Was I not supposed to use the fancy soap?" 😆

I don't think the doll's eyes were a mistake at the factory. It's too perfect & very high quality. I think someone custom ordered it to reflect her own eyes. It'll bring a lot of money but will take awhile for the right person to find it.

Love your videos, I could watch you every day. I've been watching from the beginning. So much that my husband knows your voice and your name, he'll say, "Are you watching Karen?". Congratulations on your wedding, you really did "go out and get what yours". How could your videos get any better? Do we love us some Roger? Yes, we do! He is just too cute and seeing the two of you together is priceless. Wishing you all good things, your loyal follower, Tina

The doll is Samantha and she's numbered on her neck. The one I found did not have two different colored eyes. Her insert says that she has blue eyes.

Karen, I love your channel. U picked up woderful finds. Can't wait to hear how the doll and wishing well does. Someone put some hard work into that well. If that doll came from the factory as it is, it might be very rare and quite valuable to collectors.

Enjoying the video mix of shopping, haul, home and shipping. Great job Karen! ❤

Don't worry about the dolls eyes. David Bowie had that two color going on...😅

I think I used the fancy soap. What a gem!

Great video, I love how you put so much variety in one (shopping, hauling, tour of house, and pulling)...just awesome! Thanks Karen 😊❤

The doll is a winner! One of my teacher co-workers has different colored eyes - and after working with him for 30 yrs., noone ever gives it a thought. That is a beautiful doll.

The lamp shade is my favorite. It is exquisite!

Wish we had such large thrift stores!

I enjoy the variety of the videos, a little bit of everything. The items you buy are always interesting and great quality. Greetings from Cape Town South Africa 🇿🇦.

I really enjoyed watching you videos but I truly love watching you and roger together. Who doesn’t love a real love story🥰

My mom and dad made lots of the safety pin Christmas trees after they retired. I think every family in our church plus all of our family members either bought one or were given one. They were beautiful! I still treasure to this day and bring it out at Christmas to remind me of my mom and dad who are both gone now.

No longer playing with dolls, but that doll is impressive. Her clothing is exquisite. Her eyes...who cares! Quality! My mom was an impressive doll maker also. Is that a PA thing?

So my aunt gave me a basket with that pendant in the center. It was a pine needle basket made by the seminole native Americans. And she bought it 40 years ago in Seminole Florida at the local historic site that was hosting a arts and crafts show. I think that is a Seminole basket and the GOAT of all time.

Hi Karen!!! I have 2 different colored eyes. I have a pretty green eye and a green and brown eye! The green is at the top and the brown is at the bottom! I was seen at a teaching ophthalmology department at a university years ago and was told that the brown is actually a freckle!! And I have freckles on the backside of that eye as well!! The doctor got so excited! LOL. He called in other ophthalmologists and students to look at my eye. He said it was rare and asked if he could take pictures to use in teaching!! I said sure and wound up being there for several hours so everyone could look at my eye and he could photograph it from every angle. What a fun day. I’ll never forget it! 😊😊😊

Love Color Street! All polish will wear off but Color Street doesn’t “chip off” so it looks great longer. If you want it to last even longer, double layer the strips!

Back in the 60”s I joined Junior Achievement while in high school. One of our projects was making a basket with beads and safety pins. This brought back memories for me 💜👍

You are beautiful in pink! It really compliments you! Great video, as always!😊

I adore your videos Karen...you have such a positive and inspiring attitude and this video with a bit of everything is a great format I think. Thankyou for sharing your life and knowledge. Love from a fellow thrift store enthusiast in Tasmania, Australia

PS I so hope you find the perfect person to purchase the doll! She has the ability to change a little girls life! Fantastic!!

My mother had a blue eye and gray eye…exactly like your doll. Just beautiful!

A booth?!!! Please do it!!! Im due for a new place to shop. Ty for another awesome vid 💕🌸

As a seasoned crocheter, I weave my end in. This crocheter did not. They may have intended to. Either way, do not cut them. They do not show so not use risking unraveling. Lovely find. Lucky you $20! Wow! I just finished a granny square cardigan and it took me over 75 hours. 😊 Love your channel. :-)

Hi both wooooo what a lot of room ,I wished I could go around their ,but wait I’m with you aren’t I ha lv Ann uk ❤️❤️❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

My son is 31 and he played with GI Joe's too. I saved them all. I recently cleaned out my attic and gave him his stuff. He has the GI Joe helicopter and Jeep. He is saving the stuff for his boys who are 5 and 3. My son is my baby too.

I love how you say " I could be making things up!" 😆

Your description of the doll's clothing is commendable!!!

If crochet they usually weave in those ends and then cut off any excess. If you cut them off and they're not woven in it could come unraveled.

Be careful cutting the tails on that afghan. If they aren't knotted and have their ends worked under some stitches the whole thing will come apart in the wash eventually. That was a very complex and time consuming pattern. It will also probably take a lot of time to finish. Working in the tails is something no crocheter likes! Maybe you can find someone to properly finish the afghan. Please, don't just cut the tails off! It would be a crime to ruin it!! I enjoy your show. I always learn something new!

As usual your videos are fantastic but today was exceptional with everything that you showed us not only what you had purchased but what you were shipping out. Also, I absolutely love that Goodwill that you went to that had the 36 racks of hard goods. Once I get my items finally listed and sold I am thinking of making a trip by amtrack up to your neck of the woods and seeing what I can find as you have great pickings up there. BTW I love seeing the two of you working so well together and I hope you are still excited about being married and having someone to share your life with until you grow very old and are rocking on the front porch. Also, today is my 60th birthday and I never thought that I would ever be this old and on top of that you have given me and so many others the much needed inspiration to get my s*** together and try to make a go of it at my age. Thank you for everything that you do. BTW, since I have been watching you for so long I have watched every video that you have ever put out and I am starting to watch them all over again. Great job

That quilt is everything!!

A booth? Yes!!!! I remember years ago when you were tossing the idea around too

Love the basket. As a basket maker, I was taught to spray or submerge my baskets to revitalize moisture. Love the jar for your laundry room. I used to have a small collection of safety pin artwork. You have been selecting nice pieces. 😊👍

The blanket or afghan is crochet and who ever made it didn't get around to sewing in all those lose ends...it is a big job, but what ever you do DO NOT CLIP THOSE LOSE ENDS OFF!!! If they have not been sewn in already the balnket will unravel. You can only clip those ends if they HAVE been sewn in...In my opinion!!!

❤ Being a mom of the kid with Heterochromia, I got all excited about the doll. Only my son just turned 20 😜 so I’d have bought it for myself. Unfortunately, I’m some 4.7k miles away. I’ve been enjoying your videos, Karen, they help me stay sane in the midst of the war, yeah… Thank you!

You are beautiful and so are your hands! You have a very calm demeanor and I enjoy watching your videos. I'm a reseller as well and am learning a few things here and there from you.Thank you so much for all the hard work you put into your videos and I look forward to many more.

When you first showed the doll, I thought her face looked familiar. Then the more I looked at her, I became sure that I had once owned a doll with the same face. She was so pretty to me and had that gorgeous red/burnished copper hair. That was the reason I had purchased her. I have only one grandchild, and she has the same exact color of hair. My doll had both eyes the same color, almost a blue-green. She came with a teddy bear as well. I really did love that doll, and so did my beautiful granddaughter, who is now 25 years old. I had planned on giving it to her as she is a new bride and decorating their first apartment together. However, a few months ago, we were robbed, and the doll was stolen along with my washer, dryer, refrigerator, our bed, and many things from my granddaughter's childhood. But I love your channel and watch it all the time. I just wanted to let you know that I think there were more of the dolls made, and some with various changes, my doll had a yellow dress with smocking on the yoke. I do think the change in eye color will make her more valuable, and I also think she is worth quite a lot of money. She was the most expensive doll I had ever purchased.

The blue striped bowl is not actually "Roseville". The bowl is by Robinson Ransbottom Pottery Co, made in Roseville Ohio. Actual Roseville Pottery was made in Zanesville Ohio.

The afghan is a grandmothers flower garden pattern. So pretty.

When I was selling dolls in the secondary market, two different eyes (not after market, but factory done) would have made the doll rare and worth more.

Photo a ruler beside the wish8ng well so people candecide for themselves on the size.

That afghan is oh my god!

Amazing Honey Hole of a Thrift store. Super find in that lampshade, I would auction it starting at 100. For a week then put it at 250 obo if it doesn’t sell w a minimum offer at 100. I can only imagine all the people making lamps or who have lamps that need shades. Did you know Bill Campbell (pottery) is now woodworking in retirement. I could just imagine him needing this lol

Your son is very good looking Karen!

Your mother sounds like she is very talented and excellent at what she did with dolls and their clothes. She must had been very crafty and made beautiful dolls. Thanks for sharing that with us, I find that to be amazing.

I hope that blanket ends up in an art museum 😍

Hi Karen! I am your BIGGEST fan in Hilliard, Ohio! I wanted to tell you that I ABSOLUTELY LOVE Color Street Nail polish strips-they have finger AND toe nail strips, in every color/print imaginable! Great find for sure! I love using 2 different strips in the same color family for a uniquely me mani/pedi! Awesome find!

I would definitely purchase a doll with two different color eyes. I think it looks cool!

Oh my word, the dress looks like a pansy print. I made my granddaughter a dress from that same fabric many years ago.

Dillon sure is handsome 😊

I wouldn’t clip the threads on the crocheted afghan. It can cause the crocheted threads to unravel. They should be woven in using the crochet needle. That is a dream Goodwill. The lampshade is beautiful, it looks like the Arts and Craft style.

I love baskets to store and everything baskets are so nice

Pauline Dolls does the 2 different color option on purpose. It a condition called "Heterochromia". Use that word in your listing. I attached the site I found about this in 2 previous posts and the posts disappeared!! My husband and I love you and Roger!!

The caravan is what we called a granny square they would make the squares first then crochet them together I wouldn't cut the back of might fall apart

I saw a site called girl again which is a resale site for American Gi😮😮rl. There is a custom doll listed with different color eyes. I went to college with a girl who had two different color eyes.

I enjoyed this video.

Love those earrings

My daughter was a consultant for the color street nail strips. They are very popular and quite expensive. She still sells them occasionally. She did well enough selling them and recruiting consultants that she earned an all paid cruise to Cozumel. She actually fell immediately after delivering some strips to a patron and broke both her ankles and her leg the week before Christmas 2021. It was a long hard 7 months before she could walk, several surgeries. She is doing well now, but of course, has some lasting affects from all the trauma of the fall and surgeries. They are very durable and you can actually get more than one application from a single strip. That was a good pick up, I would say.

WOW- that KIMONO is GORGEOUS!!!!!!🤩🥰

My mother in law made dolls I have 3 of them. They are just beautiful. Great find karen.

Karen you look absolutely gorgeous in the pink…and those earrings!! I’m continuously amazed at what you pick up. I see similar things at times and wonder if I would do as well since I’m not on RU-vid. I glean a ton of info from your videos. Thank you!!

The additional looks awesome and very well done!

Love that shirt on you it’s beautiful

I love your videos and I really enjoy you and Roger. Plus, my goal is to look (almost) as good as you do, (we’re the same age). You’re so beautiful but more importantly, you seem like a genuinely lovely person!

I actually have three different colors in my eyes. I have one green eye and one blue eye. In my blue eye I have a small brown spot in the color that has slowly gotten a little bit bigger as I grew up. So I have a green eye and a blue and brown eye. My eyes have always been written down as Hazel because checking three boxes on a form for eye color would be too complicated to explain. When people would notice that my eye had two colors in it they would sometimes ask me if I could see correctly through the brown part. And I would remind them that we don't see through the colored part but we see through the black part in the middle.😅 I also remember that Elizabeth Taylor had purple eyes. They were a light purple color almost lavender.
