loved your haul! I wanted to share a HUGE answer to prayer. I am 62 and my husband became interim of a small area church Dec. 27. small congregation about 30 on a good Sunday, I have age related macular degeneration and have been having injections since 2016, and I have developed cataracts also. I am scheduled for cataracts surgery on the 2th of this month and again on the 22nd of next month. My eye doctor suggested an upgrade of the lenses they will insert, my lenses were covered if they were basic, but he said it wouldn;t correct the entire issue of astigmatism which is labeled as severe. My husband and I talked and the additional out of pocket cost to us was over 3,00.00. We decided to pray and leave it with the Lord, Sunday after church the deacons called a special meeting and the church are paying that cost for us!!!! My husband wept and we cannot express our gratitude to those sweet saints in the Lord! We just couldn;t afford that extra cost right now, and the folks there at church said they loved us and wanted me to be able to see better... I am truly humbled and blessed.

First, have you ever heard of onion poultices? You slice onion and simmer in a fry pan with water until the onion is pearlized, then place on two hand towels and fold them over like a burrito. Place on your chest, being careful not to burn your skin. You want it hot, but not burning. Cover yourself with a blanket and lay down for an hour. This helps draw the fluid out of your lungs. You can warm up the onions again in a microwave and repeat. I wouldn’t use the onions more than twice, but you can repeat the process as often as needed. I’m a RN and did this on a friend who had double pneumonia all night one night and she was able to breathe with ease by morning. Now about the mold. Get professional help to remediate it! It is very serious and will continue to affect your health until it is resolved. Your soft furnishings, blankets etc.. can be tricky because mold spores permeate things. Don’t clean them yourself! Have someone help you. You’re in my prayers Kristen. I hope you’re feeling better very soon.

Years ago when I was pregnant with my daughter, we lived in a rock house. It had mold. I was sick continually. Actually I was sick with pneumonia when I went into labor with my daughter. That was rough. I coughed and wheezed for 8 months after she was born. She was sick a lot too. We got the mold cleaned up and got a different heating system and I finally got well and stayed well. The doctor said I had asthma. I don't have it anymore. Mold is bad. I love all the things you hauled, especially the salt cellar.

First thing to my mind was a vintage glove box holder, maybe in a doctor's office or hospital.

Get yourself a glass knob or a blue knob and glue it in the middle of the plate for the lid! That is what I did and looks so pretty and holds great! Just an ideal for you. 🥰❤️👍✅

Hey Kristen! At Walmart I purchased these rubber shoes for gardening. When finished I just hose them off and stand them up to drain! They're like a closed toe croc! Best shoes I've ever worn outside. I've had them for years and they still look new! Those pink shoes would look great with denim or khaki shorts. To me....too nice for the yard. Kristen, you are just the prettiest, sweetest KZfaqr! Always so friendly and chatty. Love that about you! I hope you and your family feel better real soon. Prayers for you and your family. 🙏🩷🩷🩷🩷💙and ?. 😂🤣😂

Had so much fun collaborating Kristen! Loved all you found and I hope you can feel your best real soon 🤍🙏🏻

I know you want to put the Kleenex box in Ivy’s room but you could also hang it on the kitchen wall and put plastic bags from shopping. It would make accessing plastic bags easier and totally pretty

Hang the “tissue” box in the nursery and use it store wipes while baby’s still in diapers. Tip for catch all storage - keep it shallow so you can see what’s inside. If it’s too deep, someone will end up dumping it to find something and you’re back to a mess. Love the set of horse prints! 🧺🐎

Kristen, you are even more beautiful with the pregnancy glow😊 and sweet personality. I hope you are feeling better. Love watching your videos ❤

Hey lady, hope you feel better soon. Regarding your salt box for the kitchen, take it with you to dollar store and find a wooden lid that fits on it. Then you buy a cheap wooden knob, you know the once they used for drawers and paint it the same blue as your salt box design😉. The holder for the wall is a glove holder from an old dr's office, i would rather add it in the girls bathroom against the wall with tissues in it. Love your video. Much love from South Africa

I love how the dots on your salt box lid/plate are a little transparent when held up to the light. 🥰

Just had to let you know; I have a collection of the little dish you’re using as a cover for your salt crock. It is called Chinese rice grain blue white porcelain. If you hold it up to light you will see little rice eyes in the porcelain. It was made in Jingdezhen so it’s also called Jingdezhen porcelain. Love your decorating and hope your feeling better😌

The picture of the little girl would be so cute in a play room or the nursery. ❤

The Art girl drinking is so endearing.

Those horse prints are adorable and will make a perfect addition to Ivys room! I pray you feel better soon! 🙏🏻

The plate that you selected to go on the salt box Is in the Chinese Rice pattern. You will ind many pieces in the stores in China Towns, in major cities. Hold it up to the window. You will see the light shining through the rice that is scattered on the pattern.

And congratulations beautiful Rosie!

Feel better...God has great things in store for you and your family. Hang in there Kristen.

I love the sneakers. Would be so pretty with jeans or a midi dress,especially a white skirt.

I didn’t think you could get more beautiful but you have such a glow from your pregnancy! My son and his wife who has a 10 month old baby boy Aemond found out they are pregnant again due in October and we had gender reveal yesterday it’s a girl ❤ now i’ll have 5 grandsons and 2 granddaughters I’m so lucky.

I’m so sorry to hear how sick you’ve been! Praying you guys can clean up the house and feel better soon 🙏

I am off the scale allergic to mold and am so glad that you have identified the problem! I get headaches if I am near a mold source as well as sneezing and runny nose. You may want to consider getting a good quality HEPA air purifier for each bedroom to help minimize your exposure while you are getting the problem fixed. I knew a family who found there was mold in the wall of their master bedroom. They started investigating when the kids were sick all the time and the mother started losing her hearing. Great that you are addressing the problem!

Thanks Kristen. I look forward to your videos and sometimes re watch old ones. I wish I looked as good as you do when you're sick. Feel better soon.😊❤

Your pitcher is likely a homemade ceramic piece. Get some Walmart shoes for gardening and save your nice pink ones for regular wear.

I always use plates to cover leftover food in the refrigerator. I never have to buy plastic wrap or foil and so it won't go in the landfills.

Could you find a round disc type piece of wood maybe at Hobby Lobby or a big box store for your salt box? The plate does work but just a thought. Great haul

That kleenex box could also be so cute as a little lint collector in a laundry room hung up!

Love all your thrift finds especially the salt container. Your idea to top it with the sweet little plate is genius!! Hope you start to feel better. We have been fighting the same head colds for a couple weeks now and it's no fun! Wear the pink garden shoes....they can be washed and it's all about comfort in the garden! Take care of that mold by a professional so it doesn't cause you further health issues. You might even check with your insurance company to see if it can be covered. Love to follow you!!! God bless!!

So sorry to hear you have been so sick. Get well soon Kristen. Some great finds. In regard to the new/used shoes. If pink isn't really a color you love; I vote to go ahead and use them for the garden. Its nice to have really comfy shoes for gardening.

😍😍 your haul! Prayers for feeling better 🙏

I'm sorry you are so sick so much. Let's pray that you get some wonderful weather to be outside and get fresh air and sunshine.

Good idea with the plate on the salt box, looks great. We live in a 100 year old home and invested in a air purifier/humidifier, best investment ever it was around 500 but our home smells so clean and no old house smell that we used to get once in awhile. I have been watching Emily for a bit now, she is so sweet.

Paint the “little girl” picture frame closer to dark brown w/ gold leaf. And I would love it in my kitchen.

I vote for keeping the pink shoes for good. They will look great with casual outfits. And the picture of the girl sipping tea does need a different frame - it's a moodier print so it needs something darker and heavier. Good luck with that mold situation! I hope you get well fast. Here's the bright side - at least you can get seen by your doctor - where I live, we can only do video chats and they can't do much. So, at least your doctor is accessible. Also, maybe the kleenex box could be used for something practical like a crayon/pencil box, or ponytail holders, or a place to keep scotch tape and scissors.

Loved your haul! Get well soon❤

I hope you and your family feel better soon

You find the best stuff!!

Feel better soon!!! Take care. I love everything you found❤

Feel better soon. 🙏❤

Great finds!

Kristen, Loving all of your finds!! The vinatge basket is for picking fruit, strawberries, apples, you name it!! Your salt box is the exact one that I have from my grandmother. They are selling anywhere from $100 on upward to $150 or more...I love mine!! I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day and thank you for inspiring so many. xo

The green frames on the horse prints are nice! Can you add rub n buff to darken that frame a bit.. ( the print of the girl )?, mold..🫤.. prayers y'all feel stronger soon. God bless 🙏🏼.

Loved your thrift finds! Hope everyone is feeling better real soon!

I would keep the pink Nike runners and find some rain type booties for gardening. At least, you can wash them!!😊

Praying for all of you Kristen God bless

Thanks for the video today. Feel better. Can't wait to see when everything is done and ready to show❤

Always enjoy your video's. You are so calming.

I love the Salt Cellar. You saw past the dirt and grime and now have a beautiful piece.

You have really been through it! I pray you recover completely and you are able to solve the mold issue.

Loved all your finds Kristen! I hope you all feel better soon!!!❤

Oh no! Mold absolutely ruined my life! We actually had to get rid of all our belongings including our vehicles! 😢 I would highly recommend a air purifier from Princess House company. It is unlike any we have ever used or heard of. It puts out these little air scrubbies so to speak that clean the air and also any and all surfaces. It also pulls air through the machine and cleans it that way too. It works great for getting rid of mold and many other bad stuff! You should sleep with one and have one in your main living area. God bless you all! Love your channel! 🩷🌿🪷

I use blue and white decor for Summer ❤ and love it!

It looks like a market basket of some kind. I just bought a wood salt box. The lid flips around, but it’s attached. I wanted something that would close up too. And it came with a spoon. I would use them in the garden. They can be washed in the washing machine. Just don’t dry them in the dryer. Let them air dry. The tissue box would be fine to hang on a wall. Hey if you need it.i would definitely use it.

Hi Kristen.I hope you and your family feel better and stay well!It must be hard to be pregnant with the 3 girls when you dont feel well!I love your thrift finds!!My favorites are the salt holder and matching plate, the horse pictures,and the beautiful vintage pitcher!!!!!For a girl who has been sick you look great!!!Hope you have a good week hon!😁❤👍

get well soon

❤always love your content

it's a berry basket! so cute!!

Love everything!! I personally love the shoes. Crocs for gardening I agree!

Crocs for gardening!!!

Love all your great finds, especially the salt box. Praying for you to get better and stay healthy. 🙏

I garden in crocs, they're great bc you can hose them off. I bought knock off ones and they're comfortable and so easy to clean. I love your finds, that salt box is so pretty. I hope you feel better soon. 🙏❤️

I would keep the shoes to go walking, shopping or just everyday shoe. 💗

That picture of the girl is so pretty. I love it! Also, I love Emily! And you, Kristen. I always watch for new videos from you.

I love all your content Kristin, you are so fun to spend time with, you always make me laugh. I hope and pray you get feeling better real soon.

Emily is a doll…thank you for giving her a nod on your video!

Please get well soon Kristen.

All of the finds are great! Really like the saucer on salt box.. and all the pictures 💕

I hope you and your family start to feel better. I would start by putting an air purifier in every room, won’t completely solve the problem but it will definitely help.

White tulips would look good in the white pitcher.

HAPPY SUNDAY Kristen, family, and fur baby. Praying feel better soon Kristen. Love your style. STTB

Girl! Love your videos! Your family is so cute!

I have a large , old heavy wire, vintage basket in my bathroom to hold extra rolls of tp 😉

I like these videos. I can’t wait to see the decorating of all the items you found. My younger sister and I grew up having horses and still love horses.

Emily sent me over. Look forward to seeing your videos.

Love your videos

I’d find some totally trashed out shoes for the garden and save the pink ones for good. ❤

Absolutely I would make those gardening shoes. But don’t do pink at all so it wouldn’t bother me to get them dirty.

I’m so sorry you’ve been sick! We also had influenza A and we felt terrible. It’s definitely going around and it’s a pretty yucky strain. I pray for a speedy recovery.

I have that same toilet paper holder I thrifted as well, I took the bar to hold the paper off and use it on my vanity with a cute vintage straw hat on one end and my longer gold necklaces on the other end, I get so many compliments on it, and I always say it’s for toilet paper I just saw another function for it 😂

I love the duck 🦆print and the horse 🐎 prints best, salt container beautiful too.

Love the video, and stay healty!!greetings from the netherlands

Sorry you guys have been continually sick! I hope you are able to find a solution soon!

Hi Kristen and fam.....Just a suggestion. I take the tissues out of the boxes and place in random containers. That way they fit in anything. Try it with your new metal tissue container to see if it works. You would not have to hang it on the wall unless you wanted to do that. Hope the pregnancy is going well. xo Nancy and Wally the wiener dog from OHIO.

Clever idea using the plate as a lid. Love this video.

Kristen, I would leave the glass in the picture frames, you can get an 8 x 10 or whatever size piece of glass for $1 or 2 at the hardware store.

So sorry you've not been feeling well, I hate you're dealing with so much.. you're still beautiful as ever! I'll definitely keep you & your family in my prayers🙏 Also, glad to see you and Emily doing a collab together! She's such A sweet person, always smiling no matter what.. Two of my fav's for sure!😊 You guys have alot in common!🤰The baskets are for produce mainly, you can sometimes find them at a produce stand. A lot of times they are old as many stands have changed to handled bags. You could hang the tissue box by the bed if you want to hang it🤷‍♀️ Absolutely love the art print of the young girl, very antique looking and that's the kind of art i look for, anything that looks old! I'd buy it and rub & buff the frame to make it look old, or transfer to an old ornate frame, either would be pretty! You always make me laugh and I love it😄 Go for that toilet paper rack girl, I've used one before, there nice😊 Really enjoyed today's video..God bless my friend🙏❤

Love a thrift haul! I garden a lot so my advice is to wear a comfortable shoe. As you mentioned you bend, squat, and are generally all over the place when gardening, so I say wear the Nike's! Praying for the healing hand of God on the Hoffman family...be well and whole, in Jesus' name. 🤗

The print of the girl is so sweet. If you have room in the kitchen it would be fun to try it there

Love the horse pictures!!

Love the salt box.

Love your hall, yes wear the runners to garden you will look cool. Also I think yo should not hang the tissue box. Place it on the book case. You have a sweet way of sharing your channel.

I already subscribe to Emily…love her!!🥰

Great haul Kristen! I love the print of the girl with a cup. Beautiful! I pray you and the family all feel better soon.

I was so sick for so long because of mold in the work place. I was on inhalers, doing breathing treatments every day and lots of med, including steroids . I took a different job and I’m never sick now. I no longer need inhalers or breathing treatments. Mold is not something to play along with. Take care.

Take care of yourself, and babe start some zinc. Hope you feel better quickly. Prayers!

enjoyed you video today Great finds Hope you're feeling better soon.

Love to see you feeling better, I like the shoes, also the tissue box. Stay well❤🌴🇵🇷

Thank You Kristen for sharing this video. You really did find some very neat items. The toilet paper holder is good looking. They are so handy! The holder in my apartment isn't in a handy place. One of my neighbors left hers behind when she moved out. I have it and it's great. I'm sorry about the 'mold' situation. Stay well and continued Blessings!

I love horse prints as well. Good find! 🐎
