Vintage Thrift Haul • Alabama • Cottage Style • Exciting Finds • Raising Cain 

I just found a few items that didn't make it into this video, but I shared the photos on my community page. Some good stuff! 😃

I was absolutely giddy when I saw your video pop up. Oh how I have missed your sweet, calming voice, your funny, honest banter, and your precious prayer for us at the end. You look so pretty, love your hair! All of your finds were amazing to see. I think the little pig and duck may be a little hideous, but that just gives them character; and we all know we shouldn't judge on appearances...they can't help how they were made.😂. And I am also so drawn to that portrait of the young lady. I love old photos and can imagine so many stories about their lives. Please share her when you get her all framed up. The quilt your mother did was beautiful and I know you will treasure it always. My new vocabulary word will now be "vignetted" and I can't wait to use your phrase "only waist high" the next time my kids comment on my stuff that brings me joy! What wise words you shared when you said that your life is how you report it to others...how true and it does help to speak positive words. Marla, I so enjoy being one of your "frans" and this was the best 40 minutes I have spent lately! I am so glad you are feeling better and getting your creative mojo back in this season of your life with so many changes going on. I am looking forward to the return to the she shed. Thank you so much for sharing your finds, your life, your philosophy and your prayers with us. Much love to you and yours. ❤

So glad to see your beautiful face and sweet sweet smile. You looked so well rested and so.happy, your face surely shined. I'm so happy to see you back with your viewers again. And it doesn't matter what you do just as.long as we see you. Thank you for sharing you newly found treasures. I'm like you ,i love the old pictures of people who are long gone and forgotten. Their pictures decorate my home and while I'm here they are not forgotten. I may not know their names but they grace the walls of my home and my life. Thank you so much Marla for coming back. God Bless you and your family with happiness and good health. By the way i love the bangs.

Hi Marla, I enjoyed visiting with you today. That quilt your mama made is beautiful, and my mama was born in 1937 too. I have old photos of people I do not know also lol. You found some nice treasure's. Glad you are back I have missed you. Thank you for the prayer, I needed to hear that today. I too am experiencing some major health problems, and sometimes I feel alone, and you have made my day a little brighter. You take care, and God Bless you♥️ Have a wonderful day and stay safe!🥰Brenda

Certainly is time well spent. Stay well Marla, we need the laughs and the giggles .God bless all.

How fun!!! Your bangs look awesome!!!!❤❤❤❤❤

Love you Marla !!!! SO happy to see you...enjoyed the video ! Your hair looks great color and bangs !!! Have a great weekend ! 🥰

I loved your video! You looked so beautiful!!!! The quilt that your mom finished for you is so beautiful and I love it!!!!! Thank you for your prayer, it was so heartfelt and I pray that all of your friends were blessed and touched!!!! I am praying that God continues to work in your life ,and that he will heal your body from the flares you deal with. It is hard when our bodies can’t do what they use to be able to. I agree we can either be positive about it or we can fuss about our pain and what we are unable to do now. I am claiming Gods healing over my body. Thank you for your uplifting and encouraging video!!!!! I always love watching them!

That copper jello mold would make an amazing O in a Christmas JOY sign

MARLA! I've missed you. I gasped when I saw your picture. You are so beautiful!

Hi Marla! I’m so happy to see your beautiful self! I have missed you!!! I have been through the wringer with my health the last 6 months. It’s a long story but God is so good! I’m glad you’re feeling well now. This video was so great catching up with you and hearing you talk and laughing 😂. My best friend lives in Jasper, TN and when you talk you sound so much like her, it is a comfort to me and makes me feel a bond with you. I grew up near Chattanooga but now live in Florida. My mom was 30 when she had me as well. She was born in 1932 and me in 1962. So I can always remember her age. She will be 92 in a couple of months. I’m blessed to still have my mama, but it is so hard to see her lose the ability to do all the things she loves to do. The quilt is definitely a “gift” you will always cherish. My favorite treasure is that gathering basket and your prayer at the end. Thank you for that, Love you girl ❤

Thank you so much for just being you! You are a beautiful human being- inside and out. You are truly radiant. Watching this brought me so much joy. Your treasures are wonderful! God bless you, Marla

So glad you were up to it today to share your haul with all of us as we have missed you so much "fran"!❤. I will be vignetting my finds -- coining your phrasing and had me lol!!!!😁. I used to stick straight pins that had colored balls on top into my Barbie dolls ears for earrings too!😂😂 Loved it when you said poor thing to the doll! You are such a treat, please don't ever change yourself for anything or anyone! We love you as is!!!l!!❤

❤🤗🙏☀️...your sister fran

Nice to have you back 😊amazing haul ❤many blessings 🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏

I'm so happy to see you back Marla and that you are feeling better. I always love watching you thrift, crafting videos and looking forward to your videos on the shed when you get to it. ❤😊

Try putting your candles upside down in freezer for an hour or so...they could just fall out...and you look great!💗

I just adore you!! You have such a sweet spirit and precious appreciation for beautiful treasures! I ‘swanee’ we could be related when it comes to loving things some consider trash.

Love your pig, I have one too. To get the candle wax out of the cups, pop them in the freezer for a bit, the wax will chip right out. Good to see you, how's the she shed coming along?

I thought to myself, that pig is grinning. And then you said it.😂 McCoy pottery is sought after.

I thought to myself, that pig is grinning. And then you said it.😂 Partylite is one of those companies that people have parties to sell it like tupperware.

Hello Marla. You look lovely. New sub. Every blessing.

So glad to see another video Marla. I always enjoy seeing you and all the goodies you have thrifted. You look great. ✌❤🙏

Have missed your posts! I was glad when I saw you pop up. You have gotten some special things. God bless!

Hello sweet friend. It’s so nice to have a visit. Wish I could show you my thrift finds too! We are two peas in a pod ✌🏼❣️🫶🏼🦋🌼🐣🪺🐰

I haven't been you for a while. I missed you. Glad to see you.

The ring mold top with the slit, came with the oatmeal box, to be used as a top after the oatmeal was gone. The container was then used for a bank.

Good to see you again, fran! So glad you are feeling well. You look beautiful in your new bangs. 😊 sweet prayer at the end 💕

So good seeing you again and you look just beautiful! Great video!🙏

Love seeing your beautiful face again. So happy to hear you are feeling better.

Yay!! So happy to see my girl Marla! ❤ your new bangs.

I was just thinking I love your bangs

I love to see that you're a lovely christian girl from the sooouuuth

Hi from Johannesburg south Africa. Wish I could have your positivity.

Amen

I just love you 😆I know that if we lived closer we would be great thrifting friends 😊Thank for you for the reminder. Life has been on the messy side as of late. Praying for peace and perseverance as we wait for His timing. Also, I have two large antique photos of my 3rd and 4th great grandfathers in the original bubble frames 😍 I don't have wall space for them currently, but I plan to hang them in the stairwell of our future house, Lord willing! Blessings to you!

Been missing you, so glad to see you!

Paint the pig! So nice to see you!

So happy ive found you again!

❤❤❤

Thanks for sharing.

Great finds!!!

Love your channel. New Sub. My Daughter needs healing. Thank you.

Love the video ❤

Nice finds!

Replacement LTD is so majorly overpriced…who would actually pay their prices??

Pope Gosser was a wonderful company that was dated 1902 to 1958. Produced gorgeous China. Anything with that name is premium!! They also made tons of beautiful floral patterned china. Great find. Thanks for sharing.

Party lite is a home party business. I put the candles in the freezer and wax usually pops out. If it's a gummier wax cut it into pie sizes and may have to put back in the freezer for a while.

Been a subscriber for a long time. I’ve missed you dearly. Your videos bring so much joy. You’re a beautiful and talented lady. I love your hair also. My daughters poke fun at me for what I thrift also. But hey it’s my house. lol Thank you Marla your a sweet lady.

I’m getting some craft ideas from you thank you I just started watching you

I’m not sure where I posted but I would love to get to know you. My son lives in Steele and I live between Tuscaloosa, Birmingham and Montgomery. I have an auto immune disorder as well from ticks called Alpha Gal syndrome in addition to Celiacs disease.

It is so good to see you Marla on a video. I miss seeing you. I’m glad you are feeling better. Thank you for your prayer at the end. God bless you and your family!❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻✝️

Hi Marla! I am new and so happy to meet you! You definitely have similar taste as me, and cutting bangs at 3am is something I can see me doing!😂 Thank you for sharing your faith in Jesus, He always does get us through! ❤XO

I sure missed you sweet friend and I'm so happy you're back. Praise God you are feeling better. I love your videos, your little autumn doll is so cute. Bless you and yours ❤️

1000x 👍🕊🐑

Marla just found your video and really enjoyed it. Genuine and sweet, just subscribed 💕💕

Always love seeing your finds. Had a laugh at terra potta cots 😂. You could pop those little bowls in the freezer and the wax should pop out. Party Lite is a pretty well known company. Not sure they are still around.

Welcome back Fran... As always enjoy the time you share with us.

Wonderful to see you! Thank you for praying for us, what a blessing you are to so many. I have to say there are many things you picked up that I would have as well, but hands down favorite is the quilt from your mom❤ What a treasure!

Love sitting at the table with you on this rainy afternoon and apple pie still warm from the oven, going through your stash of wonderful finds, giggling like kids at the fun we will have fun transforming them. You are a beautiful soul and you add so much joy to the lives of so many of us dear and devoted frans! Love, health, and good thrifting dear Marla!

I absolutely enjoyed spending time with you. ❤

Loving the Lord is the most important in life

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Dear Marla, I hadn’t seen you before tonight… You are SO down to earth…I appreciated that… And I really like that you can love your own flavour of things in your own home! There are things that I really find special, that is different, has character, I see beauty in it…and that’s great! God wired us all differently…just be yourself, ok! Warmest hugs for you… It was incredibly precious for you to share and pray in this video! That blessed me SO deeply!

This is an IMPORTANT post and a reminder of what the Lord revealed to me about aging. I feel this morning that this is a specific word for many that will read it. Your body was created with an original intent for long life on the earth. You were never intended to die prematurely. Your physical body and every single organ in it is designed and fashioned to serve your calling and your anointing. It’s not that your body just ages and your organs just get old and wear out, and that’s why you die. Your body recalibrates itself and adjusts itself at each stage/phase of your life. As you age, your organs make the age adjustment to provide exactly what you need at that particular age. When you’re 70, you don’t have a 70 year old, worn out heart, just hoping to get you to the end. You have a healthy, whole 70 year old heart that is different from your 50 and 60 year old heart. It has recalibrated and adjusted, allowing you to be a strong, vibrant, healthy 70 year old!” Stop seeing aging as getting old. You’re getting older (aging), but old is a mindset and a mentality. Stop letting your mouth dictate and betray God’s original intent and created design of you. He made you to live healthy, happy, and whole, and to live a long, blessed life on the earth. Decree it with me: I speak to every organ in my body. I command the full manifestation of kingdom reality in the entirety of my body and my mind. Thank you for allowing me to age. I am not wearing out or wearing down. I am aging according to the original intent of my creator. My body supernaturally adjusts and recalibrates itself as needed according to my age and the demands of my age. My body functions with confidence and the older I get, the more confidence I have in the sustaining ability of my Creator who designed me to live a long, healthy, natural life. I will not die prematurely. I will not wither away. I will live strong and healthy all the days of my life, and like Moses, I will only leave the earth because my anointed season in the earth realm has ended, and my kingdom role has been fulfilled. Then, and only then I will step into my celestial body, awaiting my resurrected body! This day and every day, life and death are set before me…therefore, I must choose. I choose a long, healthy, satisfied life, in Jesus name. Amen!

Hi.. new to your channel! Just happen to run across it and when i saw "vintage thrift" haul i knew i had to watch! I collect all things old.. primitive, antique, bunnyear, chicken..i love it all!! And love to go antiquing & thrifting😊 (actually own a thrift store in SE Tennessee where i live) I did subscribe, and knew i would love the channel especially when you started talking about the Lord and speaking life into our circumstances.. so true, there's so much power in the tongue! We can speak life or death, and better watch what we claim!The baby shoe Is precious. I have a larger terra cotta pot on my plant stand that is full of the itty bitty ones, saw that idea somewhere on IG. Honey I knife what you mean about your hands..i can't do things like i use to either, and drop stuff all the time, my grip is not good either🫤 I like things made of chicken wire..I finally found a chicken wire cloche!! I sit my little vintage herb in best in it and i love it! Lol I use to put pins in my baby dolls ears😂 I use to have one of those milk mouthless, but recently I've found another one and one of the taller ones also. A couple months ago my husband surprised me with a primitive step back cupboard!! My only piece of primitive furniture.. but my old milk bottles are on a shelf of the cupboard. I just bought one of the little white pots trimmed in red, the kind my granny had, just like the old chamber pots. Lol I say all the time i guess I'm vintage😂 i graduated in 1982, had my oldest baby in 1986.. so i guess my baby is vintage to🤔😂 I'm the same, i don't mind my age but the hurts and aches are real!! Girl I love some pickled okra😋 I been looking for a gathering basket or butt basket, but all that i find are crazy high.. so I'm waiting till i find one at a decent price.Ohhh my goodness..i love that old photograph!!! I collect a lot of old art & ornate frames... old photographs & Victorian art are my favorite!! Always look for old linens ,hankies, doilies those type things. Lord have mercy that quilt is stunning❤ I love a homemade quilt!! I love that book shelf! I got 2 old ones, not that old but i have mine decorated with a like of everything! I really enjoyed the video and I'll be going to ck out some older ones. I won't apologize (yet) for being so chatty, but it happens when i find someone with so much good stuff, something in common with me.. lots to chat about😁 I'll bee looking forward for the next video..i pray you have a blessed week🙏
