Yvonne, we have the same taste in so very many of the pieces you buy! I live vicariously through you. I am in a wheelchair now and don’t really have anyone to go to shops and sales with me. But I’ve always restored and crafted with vintage pieces. I can still do it within reason of course. Large furniture is really difficult for me now. I love digging for stuff and dirt and barns don’t bother me one bit. I enjoy you so much honey!! You are a ray of sunshine for this old woman.

Ahh, I bet watching Alex gather things for his first place is a little bittersweet. My kids are still in school, but I can't imagine the feelings a Mom goes through when they fly from the nest. I love that he has Fiesta Ware for his dishes! He will impress his dates when he cooks for them!

That green bucket is definitely my favorite. It is indeed an old ice cream bucket. I collect them, so I was in heaven when you decided to leave it as it was!! So amazing!

I love fiesta ware and Homer Laughlin plates

I absolutely love the hippo I’m with Chris I couldn’t let him go!

I’m so In love with your channel,thank you for all your hard work bringing it to us!

The white caddy looks like a strawberry picking box. It would hold the qt berry boxes

I'd have climbed into a loft if I had to after spying a 'must have'!

I can't say it either. It's a meat and cheese board with extra goodies. You found a beautiful board.

Oh that hippo brought me SO much joy seeing your thrill!!!!!!! Digging for treasure is THE best!!!!! Beautiful video again!!

Alex is amazing, he knows whats good and whats not. Good job Alex. I would have dug through it and washed up later. Thank you for sharing. I love all the make overs, great job as always. Thank you.

You could put your lil hippo by your door (inside) and put umbrellas in him or on your cupboard and put rolling pins in it. I can’t tell how big he actually is but he sure is adorable! Maybe it’s a she 🤷🏻‍♀️😊

Yvonne, Chris & Alex. I Loved This Video Sooooo Much!!! The Amazing finds, kindness of ppl, chatting with new ppl, makeovers, etc. I Absolutely Love the Hippo-Yvonne-I was right there with you in your laughter & pure joy of finding him!!! I named him “Mr. Herman”…”Happy Mr Herman”!!! LOL. ❤️✨❤️ The turquoise bucket-keep-would look so pretty in your garden like Mr Herman!!!! Kris-Chris (I have a Kris-my first son) I Love your plane collection!!! And old tool collection!!! My Kris brought down a old tool box from upstairs and when I went thru it past Monday-it was like a Christmas present of my Grandfathers old tools!!! I only have 1 plane but tried it out and got hang of it fast and loved!!! Those big ones? Omg!!!!

As kids we spent a lot of hot summer days around a hand churned ice cream maker. We all had to take turns turning that handle. But the payoff was wonderful home made ice cream and a fresh picked watermelon from the garden. Some of the best times of my life.

Love your sense of whimsy, especially with the hippo planter! Alex is becoming a real hunter of treasures!

I used to make bread in my green Tupperware bowl!!! Alex made out like a bandit for his first place! His roommates are not going to have to bring much other than their bedroom sets!!! This is great for him.

That bucket is part of an old hand crank ice cream maker. When I was a child we had one just like it.

It's always a thrill around here when a cat decides it will climb into a cat bed we've thrifted! It certainly doesn't happen all the time.

You got a House Hippo!!! That's awesome! I looked forever and finally found 2 matching that are about the size of an eraser. Lol I would have snagged that too!!

Alex has great taste! He really found fantastic things!

The little white cannisters with black coffee, tea, sugar is exactly like mine that came from Hobby Lobby

Yvonne! I knew you would buy that sled the minute I saw it! I would have too! Love your finds!

OMGoodness!!! So Happy for Alex and his finds!!! Thank You for sharing his haul too!!!! Those white plates, dinnerware with the blue and brown!!! Love!!! And the license plates!!! Gernerousity-I slaughtered that word-of ppl helping him out is Wonderful!!! Get chill bumps with such kindness!!!!

Love the old green ice cream freezer. We had one growing up, you had to hand crank the ice cream. We would sit on top while my Dad turned the handle. 😂

Oh my goodness! What a haul. What memories for me. Those chicken feeders. I grew up on a farm and we raised layer hens from chicks and we had 3,000 Layer chickens and had chores gathering ang feeding at least twice a day. We had feeders just like that. (Chickens weren't in cages either. 3 huge chicken houses. Lots of eggs we sold!) And the bucket. It was exactly like the one we had. It was a hand cranked ice cream maker. The hole was for water to come out as the salt around the insert canuster holding cream, etc. Melted as you cranked and cranked and CRANKED! Took alt of turning but we finally got homemade ice cream.

That vintage Pyrex in those colors was quite the treasure! The Starburst pattern is so cool! So, you gotta do what you gotta do to bring it home. 😆 I'm glad you kept the hippo...he makes you so happy! And, he looks happy sitting there where you put him! Too cute!

Think your green bucket is ice cream churn bucket. Very similar to one Dad had when I was a child.

My cats have that swinging chair and we zip tied it to the stand to make it stationary so my meows can get on it. I love the hippo. Me and my sister collect hippos as part of an inside joke. 😂

That mirror turned out absolutely gorgeous! I was drooling!

How FUN that you had some mother/son time doing sales! He (and YOU) got some amazing stuff!! That butcher block table??!!! I love it when they're ready to lower the price before you even say anything. My son didn't like the idea of buying "other people's 'junk'" until he decided he wanted cast iron skillets and noticed the prices were crazy for new, but we were finding them for just a few dollars. He doesn't have much time to go out, because of his job, but he will ask me to be on the hunt for certain items & he has gone with us to vendor shops & seems to enjoy it. So that warms my heart. I haven't had much time for sales this summer myself, but I sure would have gotten my hands dirty for those bowls/dishes!! I have done that many times and still would! I keep a tub of anti-bacterial wipes and Clorox wipes in my van for such occasions. I did go to a couple sales this past weekend and got a few awesome finds for $1 each! I got a really pretty gold mirror, an 18" pottery/stoneware snowman (think creamy shiny glazed pottery body with beige rough stoneware face) and a wood folding tv tray table. At another sale I got the coolest little vintage brass lamp for $2 & some darling white pillows for 25 cents each. I hit our new Goodwill store yesterday & almost passed out from the prices! Yikes! Almost makes me want to put up a sign in my booth that says: If you think MY prices are high, go check out the Goodwill! 😲 I did get a silver tea pot for $6, plus the matching sugar bowl & creamer for $5/set at GW though. I seem to talk a lot when I post a comment on your videos, but I just get so excited to see your finds. That means you do a wonderful job with your videos!

Just wanted you to know I’ve been watching you for the past year and you were amazing. I just did a hope chest that belong to my mother’s mother her dad built it it was an old ugly reddish themed thing and I painted it white and did some of the roses IOD transfers on it and it’s beautiful I’ll try to share it if I can.

Amazing haul. I love that hippo! He is too cute. Great furniture pieces. Love the butcher block island. And I love that bucket. Very cool.

As a lover of Pyrex, if I can possibly get to it I will. Especially the blue or pink!! Go Alex.

Glad you left the bucket as is! And there’s no way I would of let that hippo go….he makes me happy!!!

The green tall bucket is part of an old ice cream maker. Google lens it. Enjoyed sharing ice cream with family and friends sitting outside during the summer eating as much as I could hold.

Yes, I would have grabbed up that Pyrex! Without hesitation!! Love the happy hippo, such a cutie. Many great finds for everyone! Even the kitties. Great haul. Tfs. xx Oh, and I love the butcher block island cart.

The green wood bucket looks like an ice cream bucket, that you make homemade ice cream in. The small hole is to let the water out as the ice melts.

Definitely would have gone and beyond to get to anything worth getting to. I loved the bucket and I’m a sucker for old gas cans 🤦🏽‍♀️ have several.

Yvonne, you are right, your right the green bucket is definitely a ice cream churn. We had one when I was a young child. I also have a couple of of the gas cans, planners and watering cans. I have a lot of the things you have, and I love everything. I have a lot of old things. Love your channel. I look at you tube every day just to see your channels. I ♥️ ya’ll

The table ! My grandmother had the same table with high back benches. I loved it! I always wanted to find one in memory of my grandmother.

Love the old green bucket! and the cast iron trolley and train! Yes,the bucket was an old ice cream maker. I had a brown one that fell apart, I kept the metal top with the crank. .Fiestaware!!! I love the patina of the bucket!

I am so glad you got the butcher block cart. I would have purchased it also...even with the damage it has. I am in love with Fiestaware. I have my Grandmothers original Fiestaware. When we would visit her, I would open up her wall pantry/cabinet where she kept it just to admire it. How funny Alex got all those license plates. Yesterday I found a 1958 Illinois license plate at a Goodwill. Never would I had thought I would find a license plate at a Goodwill. Alex has a great find! Thanks for sharing!

The green bucket is for an old hand crank ice cream machine. We had one exactly like it when I was a kid. Just love all your goodies‼️🐾🐾

Yes I would dig for a treasure. I used to dig through my grandparents' chifforobe and army trunk. I loved looking through old pictures and any other goodies they saved in their history . It looks like Alex is set in the kitchen. I loved the haul. Til next time, bye!

Love the wood box.

I love that hippo! He can hold umbrellas when you bring him inside lol

Loved the makeovers! I KNEW you were going to grab up the sleigh! Can’t wait to see what you do with it! Can’t wait to see the old wide wood slat tool bench/ farm table maker over! I have my grandmother’s same green wooded ice cream churner too!

Love the hippo and your reaction too him 😂

the green bucket is an ice cream maker bucket. the freezer part is not there. the hole is for lettiing salty water out so you can add ice and salt. i grew up with exact same bucket freezer!!!! you did GREAT! LOVE IT. YOU BET SOMEONE WILL BUY IT!! I WOULD IF I LIVED NEAR TO YOU...!!!

Chris has a nice collection.

I love the hippo! I would use him as an umbrella stand.

My favorite peices were that table with the great legs and the Saint Bernard. You had lots of good stuff. It was hard to choose a favorite until I saw that gorgeous table. I hope I catch the episode where you work your magic on it.

I had said I wasn’t going to pause your video again, but here I’m doing it again!!! I’m Loving this video of your hauls!!! The tables, the galvanized pitchers, the diff glass flower, the turquoise bucket, the mirror-2!toned hanging one, the butcher block kitchen caddy, OhMyGoodness!!!! Your St Bernard-keeper-for sure, and Loved she called her cats “Meow-Meows”…I call mine “Meowzers” Love, Love, Love!!!!❤️❤️❤️ I Love your videos!!!! I’m stretching your video into 2 hours (I think)?!!! LOL

That hippo needs to be researched! I think it could be valuable. And ohhhhh that old wood table!!! Don't tear it apart! It's great the way it is! You sure had some good picking!

Green bucket is an old ice cream churn hole is were the handle went to sit and crank till your arm felt like it was going to fall off ! Oh man was it so worth it yum yum! My fav, omg the HIPPO !!!

Love your green ice cream churning bucket. The holes are where the metal ice container fit in with the handle for churning. Wowser! Love your makover videos!

Vinegar works really well to remove the acid as well, especially if it has stopped working because of corrosion. Love your channel, your inspiration has helped move my work to a whole new and more profitable level. Thank you.

I had a rice cooker like that and it was great. I use my instant pot now. Limited space so I must make a choice. Enjoy.

I would bring the hippo inside and put umbrellas in. He is so cute!

Yvonne, I am a new subscriber and I just love your personality and your great upcycle craft ideas! I enjoy hearing you talk, we are always learning something when we listen to others (words of wisdom from my Mom) Thank you for sharing your expertise and I alook forward to your next video. I hope your kitty is feeling better =^^=. I have two sister cats adopted from local animal shelter and they are my sweet companions, I just love them. Blessings to you

I believe the old bucket was an ice cream churn. You can see the hole and notches for the handle and lid with crank. My grandfather had one like that. Your make overs do inspire.....Now to tackle my patio.....

Hello Javonn yes I would have climbed in the middle of That mess hey in my younger days everything was possible!!! Loved all of your finds and makeovers awesome thank you for sharing!!!God Bless you all!!!❤❤❤

Watching on replay so you may have already found this out. The green bucket is an old ice cream maker. The hole on the side is for one end of the turning applicator to go into. The opposite side would have had a hinge to clasp down the other side of the turning mechanism. When I was very little my daddy would have me sit on top of the mechanism for him to turn the handle. Hahaha. Brings back many good memories. And yes my backside got very cold sitting there.

Great haul. I loved how you got all Getty over the hippo . I did the same thing when I came across a little brass duck holding and umbrella in a puddle of water. Love the make overs. Great work as always.

It is more work when with someone and when they are learning even more work.

Yay a new video from my fave flipper. Look forward to each one. 🤍

Oh Wow! My fav video so far! And Yes! I saw the Pyrex as soon as you panned across it…And Yes! I absolutely would jump right in and plunder through all of it! That would be my “dream sale”!! I can’t even pic a favorite. But that old green bucket immediately took me back to my childhood when we would break out the old ice cream churn. It took FOREVER to make that ice cream! My sister and I were just talking about that ice cream churn. I would love to find an affordable one around here. What an awesome collection of starter dishes for Alex! Fiesta is still Very popular in my area. Vintage or new…doesn’t matter. Thanks for sharing! I always learn something from you!

Thank you Yvonne, you have so brightened up my day. Always an absolute joy to watch your videos.

That "old bucket" is the outside of an ice cream maker. The hole in the side is where the melted ice and salt would drain out.

Gosh I loved it all, especially the Hippo 😍😍 Such good garage sales in the USA. In Australia the garage sales are pretty howdy dudey with 50% old tupperware and uglies 🤭

Had to stop at the crosses too!!! I was thinking when watching you at the garage sale-“Yvonne, grab those!!”

I loved that clock I have never seen one in England like that the old wooden bucket would look fab with a xmas tree in it 🤩🤩

OMG 😱 I just love it all!!! That pig just stole my heart... everything was so awesome as always!! That little mail box ohhhhh 💕..thank you for sharing you know I watch you all the time..I too am a picker and crafter MUTHER JUNKERS signs and DESIGNS..Oh I gotta tell you I picked up this beautiful cabnit on side of road and could not believe I found 3 Bibles that they thew in the trash!! I was very upset at that and brought them home...I wish I could show you them....so old color pictures just couldn't believe that someone would ever throw away a Bible!!

I loved your adventure. Love your hippo. Alex is so lucky finding that fiesta ware for his first set of dishes. Love all your finds☺️thank you for sharing.

I love the hippo and the dog?? Chris’s antique tools were great. The antique table is gorgeous! Really I loved everything. Also the butcher block piece!

I love that you get so excited when you find things!! I do too! Thanks for your optimism and having such a sweet spirit!

I would definitely have dug through it. Love those treasures.

Lots of cool finds........for both of you......and yes we can always wash our hands...it's fun to dig for good items!!!

Love the little hippo! Your videos are always entertaining and informative.

I love the POST box and the antique cookie cutters... . They could come home to me in NZ if you pop them on your Etsy store 😊🙏☮ that Green bucket was adorable and 100% will sell as is.

Yvonne you too Funny! I love that you shared your one treasured goodwill haul! You know what you like!

Love digging for treasure!

Love the crosses. They are my faviorites. The green bucket is so pretty. It would make a really nice planter!

The green bucket is the outside bucket of an old fashioned ice cream maker!! The hole allows the ice/salt water drain away so it won't go into the inner ice cream bucket! We live in west central P A and Love making homemade ice cream with the snow!

If you meow meows won't use the swing cat bed you could put a stuffed kitty in it and use for decor...❤️I love all your videos you find amazing things...

The wooden bucket was an ice cream maker; and the holes were for water release from melting Ice.

I love that you got that ice cream bucket. I just bought one the same color that has all its parts. I put sunflowers with some greenery In it . You found some awesome things. Love the tables. Thanks for sharing your treasures with us.

Hi Yvonne I love your picks. If I was you I would keep the dog. He was made for your yard. Blessings to you and family.

Alex is a smart young man. You have taught him well. Love the items you picked. Prices here in TN are a lot higher.

Loved thrifting with you today. Awesome finds and great prices. So nice that your son is following in your footsteps regarding thrifting. TFS

I have to say all that FIesta for $30 is AWESOME!! Y'all had some great finds.

Yvonne, I had to stop at the sled. That would look so cute during winter with a pair of white ice skates with it & winter wonderland type of wording. Reminds me of living in Massachusetts!!!!⛸❤️⛸

I would’ve, definitely, seen and gotten the Pyrex. As well as that galvanized watering can!!! Good job! Great haul!!!! You and Alex make a great team. Love his Fiesta ware for $30 as well! ❤️

Boy, did Alex find some great bargains. He’s definitely got a good eye for good stuff. You didn’t do to bad yourself. Love the tables you found n that butcher small island was a steal. I hope someone comes along n appreciates that cool green bucket. I’d hate to see you paint it. It needs stay just like it is, can you agree? Wish I knew how to work my printer n computer to do that découpage like you did but I’m not even close at being computer savvy. Maybe someday I’ll learn. ♥️♥️😊👍👍👍

The mirror is stunning! I need to try rub n buff, thanks as always!

I just got my first Rocycled paper to do a window project! So excited to get started!

Very nice haul. Loved Alex’s Fiesta wear. Should make some interesting meals. Give him the old rice cooker for his new home.

Oh my gosh that hippo was beautiful! Absolutely loved him. I really enjoy your thrift hauls and watching your makeovers. 👍🏻

Hi Yvonne. Yes . I have been to grungy sales like that and in true picker fashion would go for it. I tend to like the primitive stuff so I esp liked the ice cream bucket and wooden tote. They were awesome!

the green bucket is a homemade ice cream bucket. the crank is missing!!
