I like God's Mission Thrift Store. You can negotiate the price of items and can find some treasures there. The owner is called "mama" and she is a doll. You didn't find her on a day she was there. That guy is a helper and is not vested in customer service (LOL). Mama takes care of everyone in the community and will give things to people that are in need. She does have some junk, but often when people are severely low income come in, she will give them to people. Mama also is having some health problems. I'm sorry you missed her.

GIRL!!!!! There’s a true crime podcast I listen to called My favorite murder and one of their sayings to women who do things that feel sketchy because they don’t want to seem ‘rude’ is ‘F*** politeness!’ I’m so happy you are okay. I’ve done this stuff too out of fear of seeming rude and now I have to remind myself that when it comes to my safety…I need to not care!

Peoria is such a tricky town to thrift and find solid items due to it's demographics.

Hi Becky! New subscriber here. First off, I love that you’re doing a coastal theme for your house. It’s one of my favorite interior design themes. I don’t usually comment on youtube, but so much of this haul was so relatable to me and I found myself weirdly nodding to what you were saying 😆. 1 was for the ceiling light that I could totally see on a boat like you mentioned. 2 was when you brought out that Asian lamp I totally knew right away you got nautical vibes from the wave pattern! And lastly, the ship steering wheel - oh my gosh, my parents used to have one that was made into a chandelier and I used to love that thing to death! I also want to mention about the Asian lamp. So, cloisonné is actually when wires (usually flattened wires) are bent into designs and then those designs are filled with powered enamel. The enamel melts when fired and fills the piece. It looks to me that your lamp is painted to have that cloisonné look, but it’s not actual cloisonné. It’s definitely has a chinoiserie design though. Hope that’s helpful! Keep up the great videos! 😄

Might have to check the free store out see if my daughter can find some good y2k styles. I was born in Peoria lived and lived first 8 years of my life there.

That light fixture is fabulous! So is the lamp, and we want to see all the things and places. The cracks on the lamp is called crazing. And I don’t think it is cloisonné, but it’s a similar looking painting style. Cloisonné would have a metal wire in between each paint color and then painted/colored in with enamel. Like if I listed that, I would say it was hand painted. The wooden ships steering wheel is perfect!

Love the insight from shopping at different stores than the big well known ones. I don't always find the best stuff at the random stores, but I've found some gems and always have fun checking out somewhere new. I'd love a video about moving as a reseller. We are probably listing our house soon and I'm so worried about showing it with my inventory out in the open. I don't have a tote or box system, everything is on racks or closets in the basement. It's organized enough, but I worry about doing an open house and people walking out with a pair of shoes or something. I've thought about throwing tarps over everything to hide some of it. Any thoughts? It would be interesting to hear your take on showing the house with inventory and what packing it up is going to look like.
