Vintage and Antique shopping for funky decor to keep or maybe resell - The Dragonfly Antique Mall

 

Always looking for fun, quirky, vintage, one-of-a-kind, or antique items to decorate with, or resell. Come shopping with me to see what they have. A Facebook post indicated they had received a bunch of new items so my interest perked. Sure enough everywhere I looked was different. Lots and lots of things had been moved around which puts it all in a new light, plus the addition of a new haul of goodies.

I did not film a haul as I only bought the pillow, but if you are subscribed I'll be doing a haul in the next week or so. I've been to a few places I did not film and only bought one or two items. That way I'll have enough things to share in one video. I promise it'll be worth the effort to click that video ;) #antiqueshopping #antiquemall #shopwithme #shoptoresell #funkyvintage #thriftwithme #thriftshopping

Garden path transformation - Brilliant Spring flowers - Popcorn Drift Rose in landscaping

Sooo many flowers in the gardens this time of year. The Japanese Purple Iris is in full bloom and absolutely gorgeous. Glowing pink geraniums against the Iris is stunning. I added a couple yellow marigolds just for contrast. I haven't loved a garden like this in 25 years. It makes me so happy. If I am not out in it, I am gazing at it from my office window. I drink coffee each morning on the patio, eat lunch each afternoon under the gazebo. I couldn't be luckier if I tried ;) Come on over to my yard. Let your troubles all disappear.

5 Ingredient Chicken Curry for the crockpot or stovetop

 I have been making this chicken curry for about 5 years now. It is by far the easiest, most filling meal I can put together. Normally I always have the ingredients in the pantry.

My husband works close to a traditional Indian food store so he picks up the seasoning packet mix but you can use any curry powder and I have. I find I need a lot of normal curry powder so that is why we tried this mix and now it's our favorite. Depending on how many you are feeding (or how much they eat. Teenagers.) you can add another chicken breast or two. Anything over 4-5 chicken breasts and I add another can of the coconut milk, another can of the crushed tomatoes, more veggies to taste, and two packets of our mix. Recipe: 3-4 chicken breast 1 can of coconut milk curry powder to taste. I use about 3 tablespoons 1 large can of crushed or chopped tomato or 2 cans of Rotel 1 bag of frozen veggies of your choice. Mixed veggies are good too. I do add the chicken frozen which is perfect for the slow cooker, just cook it for about 6-7 hours adding veggies in the last 20 minutes. #chickencurry #easychickencurry #homemadechickencurry

Agape Thrift Store is all new and so pretty - Come shopping with me ;)

 

My favorite little thrift shop is finally re-opening! Join me in my first walk-through after it has been remodeled. The place looks like a designer planned it out it's so cool.

I knew I needed to be there first thing in the morning or all the good stuff would be gone. Fortunately for you "haul watchers" all of the things were not gone 'cause I found some fun items ;) Find out what I do with my new things and hear my thoughts. #thriftshopping #thrifthaul #vintagefinds #antiquefinds

'70s-vibe BoHo Hippy Bangle-Bracelt Garland, Lamp Shade, Vintage Flower and so much more

Follow me on this journey to DIY some cool items with bangle bracelets. Without planning, these DIYs came out so 1970's Boho hippy. I hope this video gives you the inspiration to do something with leftover bangles or if you find a really good deal on them as I did while thrifting. After buying multiple bags of bracelets for .20 each, I knew I had to make something with them. My first thought was a curtain addition. I wanted them to free flow down the edge of my curtains where they meet in the middle. It was so easy, I just clipped the top bracelet with the top of the corner on the curtain ring clip. Easy peasy! No, not like it seems. The rafia from the hula skirts is thin. I will have to tie the bracelets together with something a bit stronger like jute twine, rope, or yarn. Opening and closing these curtains means you have to give them a tug and the first time I tried, I broke the rafia strip. It's ok, everything is ok ;) Next, I added bracelets to a lampshade. Sooo '70s maaan! I made a flower out of bangle bracelets. I made a boho thingamajig that is super cute on my cliffhanger. I added a few to a vase as a classy topper that is also modern and chic. Finally, I made something that does nothing LOL It just looks good hanging from a doorknob or door handle or as I am doing from the window of my sliding glass door. #braceletDIY #thriftflip #banglebraceletDIY #thriftfinds #DIYwithbanglebracelets #banglebraceletdecor

20 Random Things from my world.. 'cause, why not? Last minute from me means late night editing = Silly

 

This video came to life in about 3 hours.  I have so many other things going on that none of them are finished and therefore not ready for the editing board.  I touch on everything from crashed paint jobs to braided hair and new sunglasses.  Of course, you'll see flowers, a new landscape, trash to treasure and a quick peek at a painting I did a couple years back.  

I'm telling you EVERYTHING is in this video.  Not the kitchen sink but I did go to a thrift store that was having 80% of everything.   They needed to clean the place out for a remodel.  

I hope you enjoy this spur-of-the-moment video collage that is as random as random gets.  Randomly Random.  Randomalicious.  Sooo random.  ;)

Lets go antique shopping at Dragonfly Antiques Part 2 - The BEST part

 

Walk through this giant antique mall with me Part 2! For this kind of place, I found a lot of pretty good deals. Usually, these places are too overpriced to be called thrift. I was able to find many items at a fair price here. I got so much excellent footage that I split this video into two. Part two is right here and now and includes the haul. This second part is my favorite. Has more furniture and bigger items.

After shopping, I had a chance to chat with the owners. Great folks, very informative. I imagine if you have seen something you just couldn't live without and were willing to pay to ship they could make something work for you. I would absolutely love it if some of the "mom and pop" hometown places I film could get a little business out of my videos. Tell them Junk Shack Baby sent you ;) ASMR Thrift shopping. Relax and wander an antique mall with me. Part 1 of this trip https://youtu.be/GWQA8Yxbni0 Love this place? Here are their stats Dragonfly Antiques 636-456-5786 They are also on Facebook under dfantiques #antiqueshopping #thriftshopping #thriftflip #thrifthaul #resaleshop #junkshackbaby
