We have 2 resellers in my area that inherited an old farmhouse in good repair. They decided to use it as a venue for their business. They restore and paint furniture. They thrift and yard sale. Every 3 months, they hold a 3 day open house and the house is filled with items to buy. Everyone loves it. I’ve heard they sell out most sale weekends. They do such a beautiful job! It’s like a open house party. Very crowded the first day by people eager to see how they it’s set up each time. And, of course, they buy, buy, buy.

These videos are my favorite. I love to see the many treasures you find and the information that you give with them. Your thrift haul videos have helped me keep an eye out for things I would have skipped over before. I would love to see more of these!

I am loving your channel! I just found your channel recently and love your excitement for thrifting! I feel the same way! And in this video I loved your idea with the organ keys. I use big old mason jars to store pretty things like spools of thread from my husbands grandmothers sewing collection. It's so pretty with all the candy coloured thread from the 50's and 60's! Thanks for sharing your ideas!

Hello Melody, new subsciber, binge watching you lol. Greetz from Belgium. Lets see what you found and I tell you what my favorites are. Love jadite, I love green as decor. I love the idea, plate and reeth behind you. You are inspiering me! I like milkglass too, it s timeless and clean and fresh. I would love some old books to put in a vigniette, but never find them in our thriftstores. LOVE candlesticks! That litle piano is so sweet!!!! I love different and unique.

@LostFoundDecor 2 года назад

Hi Heidi!! Thanks so much for watching and all your comments! I spent a few days in Belgium once… way back in 2001 😊 I hope to travel again to Europe before too much longer! Funny how we find different things depending on where we are, I bet I would love some of your thrift finds!

Melanie, such great finds! Love your styling as usual. The books are gorgeous, the piano keys, blue & white, love it all! It’s funny about milk glass. It does seem to be getting popular again.💙

@LostFoundDecor 3 года назад

Thank you! And yes, it’s like brass-getting hard to keep in stock! When a few years ago, I had brass candlesticks like crazy and couldn’t give them away 😂

I like your suggestion of bundling books that are the same color! I'll have to try that in my booth! You found some great items! When you do these videos, would you consider showing us how much your items sold for? I'm always curious!

@LostFoundDecor 3 года назад

I don’t mind sharing that, if it would be helpful! I’ll be sure and add that info in to my next haul video :)

@ambermoy8147 3 года назад

Melanie do you ever thrift items and upcycle them for resale?! I would love to see you so your upcycles if you do 😁 When you showed the piano keys and said that you saw people craft with them, I was thinking that I would love to also watch you craft with those 💖💞

@LostFoundDecor 3 года назад

I SO wish I was more crafty Amber! I cycle in and out of having craft inspiration, I think I’m in a season now of my creativity being exhausted daily by my kiddos 😂😂 But those pump organ keys didn’t sell, so I may tinker with them some and see what I can come up with 😊 Honestly, my favorite items for resale are things that I can sell as-is, just because time is $, you know? So if I can double or triple the price on an item as-is with no work needed, it’s an easy win. Thanks for watching today!

@ambermoy8147 3 года назад

@@LostFoundDecor Oh I completely understand Melanie 😊 I purchase a lot of items that just need to be cleaned up before resale but my favorite thing to do is to make something out of nothing 😍 I will upcycle anything I can get my hands on! I am still VERY interested in the next bootcamp and absolutely looking forward to it 💜 I would have jumped in right after this last one started if I had seen your message but I never saw it until this past Sunday 😔 You are such a huge wealth of knowledge and I cannot wait to soak up as much of that knowledge as I can 💞

That’s how my Mom is-she’s always sending me ideas of what I can make!

@LostFoundDecor 3 года назад

Great idea! I would be glad to

@aja8505 2 года назад

@Lostabdfounddecor Yes I’d love to see that as well as how to do an instagram live. It would be so helpful since I have zero idea how to do it 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻

@LostFoundDecor 2 года назад

Yes! I actually did a video on how to host a FB live sale. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bdk6YXA-w5w.html

@renaefoltz1086 3 года назад

When you say for profit, are you hoping to triple your price from what you purchased it for?

@LostFoundDecor 3 года назад

Yes, on average :) Sometimes it’s more than that, sometimes a bit less. But overall, tripling a price is a good goal!

@renaefoltz1086 3 года назад

Thank you!!❤

@chattycathy5862 3 года назад

Oh my gosh I didnt know you do Facebook live sales!! Do you also ship??

@LostFoundDecor 3 года назад

Yes! I ship throughout the US :) Just had a sale Wednesday night, it’s still up with lots of treasures still left!

Plant stakes for organ keys

@LostFoundDecor 2 года назад

@suzangriffey8001 2 года назад

Just curious, how do you sell for a profit when you tell ppl what you paid for the item? Do they not see your videos and ask?

@LostFoundDecor 2 года назад

You would be surprised :) Some people don’t want to go out and hunt themselves and are happy to pay to have it selected and cleaned up for them. Different audiences also :)
