THRIFT HAUL, STYLING MY THRIFTED FINDS, COOK WITH ME! Homemade Vanilla Extract, Easy Dinner idea! 

This video is a little of this and a little of that! Is it too early to start making Christmas gifts? LOL! Do you do homemade gifts?

I smiled when you said “I’m no minimalist!” I’m not either!

Great haul, I love love love the book end, a house isn’t a home without books❤

Love seeing the Franciscan dishes. When I got married in 1975 I registered for this dinnerware instead of fine China, which I knew I would probably never use. I still have the full set and still use it. And if you ever want to sell the sail boat painting, I would buy it in a second. My husband loves to sail and I know he would love it. Love you channel.

Love love love the sailboat painting you got. This was a great overall haul. Fun to see your treasures.

Loved all your thrift and antique finds! I love the painting too! I collect amateur art and I never pass up a visit to the frames or art section. My mom had an antique store when I was a child. I still have some very small paintings that I got at her store and my collection has continued to grow!

I am SUPER jealous of that oil painting!!!! I never find stuff like that. Enjoy this summer 🙂

Oh my goodness! Paula, that original oil painting is so gorgeous! I love the little girl reading bookend.She looks like she's from the 1930's. Making homemade vanilla is a wonderful idea for Christmas gifts. Your cozy videos cheer me up! I have made vanilla in the past, and maybe I need to do it again! I love how you styled your treasures. You have so many lovely things! The carrot ginger soup sounds delicious!

Hi Paula, thank you for sharing your Wonderful finds with us! You Really have a Great eye for spying Amazing items. I Love that you purchased that Beautiful tapestry, and it looks Great with the Lovely lamps. I also Love the Sweet painting, it looks So Soothing. That was Super Sweet of the Lady who contacted you concerning the Amazing tin. You mentioned that you Love a good story, well now you have added to the story of the tin, and how it has become your little treasure. 😊 WOW, the bookend is Adorable, and she looks right at home, styled with your book collection. Paula, I have to say that my favorite of your finds is the Kitchen Prayer Trivet. I have that Exact same Kitchen Prayer that belonged to My Granny. The only difference is that my piece is a small ceramic wall hanging. I Absolutely Love seeing that little ceramic piece in our kitchen, it makes me smile as I think of My Granny. 🥰 Paula, you mentioned that you are Not a Minimalist, well join the club. I am Not a Minimalist either, and I Love It that way. 😁 Oh, the soup looks Yummy, Thank You for sharing the recipe, and the Great idea for making the Vanilla Extract as well. I Really Enjoy looking at your Relatively Re-finds Segment, and Marianne's finds are Gorgeous! Paula, thank you again to You and your Sisters for sharing, encouraging, and inspiring So Many of us. Sincerely, Paula in Indianapolis *Before I forget, have a Wonderful Summer Vacation. I TRULY understand the Excitement that this time of the year can bring to many. With that being said, I am beginning a new chapter in my life...this is my Very first Summer as a Retired Teacher! I was Blessed to have taught children in Kindergarten through Second Grade for the past 30 years, I am Super Grateful to have been given that opportunity. Paula, again... have a Wonderful and Relaxing Vacation. 😊

I enjoyed the video. The tin would be a great tea storage box. I love the toile napkins. The color is beautiful. All the finds were so pretty. The soup looks yummy 😋 Thank you for sharing. Mary Ann’s bowls are stunning.

Great finds ! Love the painting 🤗🤗🤗🤗

I really do love the bowl! And the bookend is just so cute, I totally have a thing for bookends!

Great finds Paula. I love that little trivet...like you I remember those from growing up. Great idea to start Christmas gifts now, it cuts down on the busyness in December if you have thoughtful gifts at the ready. And those dish towels will be perfect for fall. I would have picked up that single bookend as well. It is precious. I always enjoy seeing the styling ideas as well. Mary's Murano glass stacked together is certainly a beautiful art piece. Thanks for sharing!!

Oh my ❤. That painting! I’ve started collecting sea/boat/nautical paintings myself. Have a few ship paint by numbers I love love love. I also love your tin! ❤

I make this soup often using canned coconut milk as I'm dairy free. An immersion blender works well for the soup.

Hello and great morning. I love your thrift haul, especially the blue and white plate. Your vintage finds are amazing. Thanks for the recipe, too. My hubby is a soup man. I am going to try the recipe this weekend.

That was a Great haul..love the towels and the dishes were great. Take care.

That tin is so beautiful, I think I gasped when you showed it in the video. 🥰 I'm a sucker for these old, colorful tins. Enjoy it! That's funny that you're doing the vanilla extract, because that's what I was planning on doing and giving some for Christmas gifts. Great minds think alike. 😀

Enjoyed your video. I was also thinking of making vanilla for Christmas gift giving. Thanks for the reminder to get going on it! I thrifted that very same blue and white plate a couple of months ago. I stacked it also, but with a white stoneware plate. The soup looks delicious! Also loved your bookend!

Great finds 🇦🇺

Hello beautiful lady, loved this video. That bowl set goes with the two tea towels keep them. Thinking you need a bigger house soon xxoo

We had a wrought iron trivet. It said: Thank God for dirty dishes, they have a tale to tell. While others may go hungry, We’re eating very well!

Great finds! You are really lucky with your Goodwill prices. The Goodwills by me have gotten so expensive, sometimes more than retail!

Playing catchup on your videos...love all of them ... three sisters - who could ask for more variety and informative thrifting....even how to display them....❤❤❤

Love the original painting and the reader bookend is adorable!!!

Loved the vanilla extract idea for gifts, although I'm not sure I'm ready to think of Christmas. All your finds were so fun, I love getting something and knowing its story like your tin box. I recently received 2 small framed prints and decided to layer by setting on a table with some of my other treasures. I know at some point i will have to retire pieces but for now I'm trying to be creative so i can enjoy them all.

That's funny - I thought you said you were making Christmas gifts!!! LOL - great planning, Paula. I do love the single bookend. She is beautiful and don't you just wonder what her history is? What home did she live in? What books did she hold up for someone? The oil painting is just awesome - what a super find! I have recently found/collected some beautiful watercolors that really make me happy :) Mary Ann, your Murano glass is stunning and so different- what a special collection.

Thank you for sharing your finds . Love the soup which I while try as I love ginger and carrot .

You need an immersion blender!!
