Tipsy thrift haul

 

I had only had 2 beers LOL!! Just had to get the video shot because I had makeup on and a new haircut. You won't catch me with makeup very often. This thrift haul came about because I didn't get any video of the actual shopping trip. In this case, the thrift haul is as much fun.

Vintage '69 - '71 8mm film digitalized- Fishing Kentucky Lake- Hunting Southern MO- When I was Young

 

Classic 8mm film from the late 1960's into the early 1970's.  Lots of fishing on Kentucky Lake, Bull Shoals Lake, Cabul Lake.  Lots of hunting in southern Missouri.  Lots of family gatherings with Knowles and Miller families.  I remember very little of this as I was so young but I do remember the SuperBee car.  My grandfather on my dad's side passed away when I was in 4th grade so I have very little memory of him, it was great to see him in a couple of these videos.  

A lot of the folks in these videos have passed away and I hate myself for not being able to have these preserved before.  I know my father and grandfather would have loooooved seeing them.

High End Wayfair #Spring_DIY_Dupe Decor using hardback books/chalk paint/stamps and my Cricut

 I signed up for a spring DIY dupe on my friend Sue’s channel "Discovering the Art of Living". The object I picked was from Wayfair and was $99. I went to my local thrift store and bought 12 books at $.75 each for a total of $9 to dupe this project. The pretty greens and white scream spring to me.

I had criteria for these books. They needed to be a certain size and a certain amount of that size to match the duped project. I was going for size and then color. Since the colors in my home are actually grey's, white's and now this lovely fern color of green, I knew that would be my palette. Using a stamp I already had, some Dollar Tree rub-on stickers I already had and my Cricut I made these books. They turned out fabulously!! I would guess the price is so high because their books are actually about what the cover says. Mine are not.

Wanna go thrift shopping with me? I am on the hunt for some specific sized hard cover books

 As if I need a reason to thrift shop? LOL!! On this trip, I had something specific in mind. I needed 12 hardback books in various sizes. This is my favorite little junk store in this town. I have to fight myself every day to not show up again to see what's been brought out while I was away.

Make sure you are subscribed to see what I do with 12 hardback books next week. I'll be duping something from Wayfair ;) #Thrifting #Thriftwithme #Letsgojunkin #JunkShackBaby #Upcycle #trashtotreasure

Macramé wall art knock off

 This project was very easy. I watched TV while I worked on it. I found the idea on @LizFenwickDIY channel here on YouTube. I changed my peace up a little bit differently so that it was not a direct copy of hers. Here is a link to her video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBRTwTsUNag

I had a lot of fun doing this project and I am considering doing another one on a much larger scale. Make sure you are subscribed to this channel so that you can see if I actually do it or not LOL #Macrame' #EasyMacrame' #JunkShackBaby

Painting chairs sucks but I did it anyway. Almost. Kinda. A third of them. Hold my beer.

 

I have mixed feelings about these chairs. With great intentions, I began painting them and then changed my mind a few times until I finally threw in the towel. I didn't really give up, I am just letting the ideas mingle in my brain for a while. About 6 years ago I painted a different set of dining table chairs and it took me a month. I think the dread of having these chairs tied up for a month was eating at me. To the point that I didn't like any of my options regarding color. Looking back on the whole ordeal I should have just went with the white as I originally thought. Maybe I'll still do that but at a different time. I think I'll blame all of this on covid. Why not? Everything else in the world is blamed on it. For the most part, I don't mind the look of two chairs being different colors. HA!! Who am I kidding? It'll drive me batcrap crazy. Right here and now I am challenging myself to finish these chairs before I wear a swimsuit the first time this year. That will be a hard challenge as we are working on our lake property and I know we'll need to jump in the lake sooner than later. I guess I can also command myself to not brush off the rule and just jump in nekid LOL!

Hope you enjoyed this video. Leave me a comment letting me know your thoughts on what I should or should not do to this set of dining room chairs.

Come walk with us through the Antique Barn. Miles and miles of treasures for that bargain hunter

Join us as we walk through this ginormous Antique Barn. The place is so full of stuff you will need at least eight hours and perhaps more. It is located in Warrenton Missouri off of Highway 70. If you are ever in the area or just driving through it is worth the stop. Their address, phone number, and exact location are clearly marked on google. Antique Barn, Warrenton MO

I found a lot of very cool wood furniture but you know that I'd want to paint it and I just can't pay the kind of money they want only to turn around and paint it. I guess if the piece spoke to me... actually reached out and grabbed me by the leg as I walked away and screamed "Kathy, buy me this very instant!" (this has happened before) Maybe then, but that didn't happen even once this time.

Dangit.

There is legitimately something for everyone in this place. Not everything was an antique but most of it was. I kinda cracked up to see the original "Skate Barn" carpet still on the floors. If you pay close attention to the building itself you can still see all the features such as the middle is concrete where the skating happened. The carpet goes around the whole front and probably the sides. The front of the building used to be the concession stand and is being used as the cash register area. There is even a little corner nook with a few chairs you can sit down and people watch. It is probably only me, but I love the nostalgia the place brings from a big part of history in this town. A lot of kids grew up skating there and if they took a moment to wake through it now, I think they would think it pretty cool everything is essentially the same, just filled with 836,341 tons of stuff/junk/antiques/treasures/finds.

Thrifting "USA Resale" Shop - Small town, super nice store

 Living in a small town really puts a cramp on your thrift shopping. Having this little gem of a place in our corner of heaven is a godsend. They have such a nice selection of many different home decor styles. It's my favorite place to buy furniture and artwork for the walls.

They also have a really nice selection of women's clothing and shoes, many of which are a bit dressier than I normally wear. I am not big on new clothes or shoes so I don't often look at that part but when I do want something nice for a good price, this is the place I visit. It's crazy to me but every time I pull into their parking lot and see "USA Resale" I hum the tune "Surfing USA" "Everybody was thrifting... Thrifting USA" Sing it with me! #Thriftwithme #thriftshopping #JunkShackBaby
