MaCenna, I was a designer in Washington. At one time, I rented a whole bus and took 50 of my clients around to about 6 of my favorite stores for a full day (spending about 45 minutes in each). They all brought bins for everything they bought and absolutely loved it. I charged about $50 ea and it included a nice sack lunch and special guest speakers between stops. All the stores knew we were coming and set up special mini-gifts and discounts for us. It was so popular I think I did it about 6-7 times. Just an idea for all of us who love ya!

I can’t wait until you get the guest cottages open! My cousin Nancy that is 75 and I am 68, we want to be your first guest! We love your channel and you have inspired us to do home improvements and thrift shopping!

I just can't wait for you to start thrift flipping furniture and lights for your cottages!!!

You should help a teacher decorate their desk area in their classroom using thrifted items!!

This is a GREAT idea for a video. It's a little peek into your future cottages. You're a great ambassador for Texas!

MaCenna, I would love to see you do mantel and coffee table displays in various styles: cottage, midcentury, modern, farmhouse, eclectic, etc. You have such a flare for display!! It might be nice to also discuss how to use items in odd#s (3's, 5's) and how to best show off each piece. Thank you for inspiring me each week!!

This was such a fun idea for a video, I loved it! I will admit though, with the title saying you‘re volunteering there I expected this to be more of a glimpse into how a thrift store is run - where they source their products, what goes into displaying and pricing them and sifting through donations and things like that! Loved this video all the same, but perhaps that could be an idea for a follow-up vid if the owners of that thrift store would be down?

If Funky Junk would let you, I'd love to see more styled displays but do different themes. I LOVE your decor choices but maybe do a farmhouse one, then an industrial, and so on.

Honestly, how cool would those lamps be modified for Pilar candles. Like just cut the plug and create a little flat spot for a candle to sit. So cute!

Ideas? Yep. MaCenna starts making house calls! My house kinda looks like a thrift store but with fewer price tags and more dogs. Everything I have is basically thrifted or family antiques and it DESPERATELY needs some styling! (I'm only 2.5 hours from Boerne!)

Would love to see more curated spaces at the the thift shop! You did a great job mixing green and brass with white.

This was a fun one! I can see with your style and notoriety that you could give your local shops a boost and have fun doing it! I have been doing some “free styling” for friends and acquaintances lately. They appreciate my style and have rooms that need some style. I pop over and shop their homes, looking for things they already have but perhaps never thought of grouping or using…thinking outside the box. Some are young people, some elderly. The young are usually on a tight budget, the elderly have cool things to use, but are still styled the way they were “back when”. Just an idea of a makeover that wouldn’t take too much time but could be exciting for the recipient, great content for your channel, inspiration for someone with a similar space, and maybe, it could spark ideas in others to do the same. 😁 My motto is: “Make America beautiful, one house at a time.” I’m well on my way…5 just this month! It is so much fun and so rewarding!

Those (rounded triangle) dishes are called Bone Plates. That’s where pieces of bone from meats would be placed. Each table setting had a bone plate.

Yassss more thrift store content 🤩 sweet of you to volunteer !!

Love when we get to see Kinsley! She's adorable 💙

I really like this video idea! I also think it would be cool if you found free things in the classifieds and flipped them. Or just gave them new life!

I was so confused in the beginning when you were doing your hair but then it turned out so beautiful😍 what magic do you use😅

Someone will come in and see this and buy the entire thing to have in their home. You did an amazing job! I love all the landscape paintings.

I volunteer at a Thrift Store too. My favorite part is when it gets quiet, I walk around and rearrange the displays. I love it too, it’s thrilling!!! Thank you for the inspiration 😎🌼🙆🏻‍♀️🤗

I always come here & follow up your house renovation story in order to get some positive energy. Your vibes &energy motivate me in some ways.😊

MaCenna! Can you PLEASE post a playlist of all the songs you use in your videos?! Your taste is chefs kiss😍

Lemon trees are super cute in large terracotta pots. There's something about them, they're so pretty.

That was so fun! I love green glass I think its my fave... always looking for special pieces

My Mom had the exact colored, shaped, textured green flower vase I believe from the late 60's early 70's.. I recognized it instantly! 😊

What a fabulous idea this was!! Well done, darling🥰. We are still in lockdown here in Ontario...can’t wait to thrift again!

I always wait for this vlogs

I’ve never been this early omgggg!! So excited!! xo

MaCenna , I had a lemon ‘splitzer’ ( lemon and lime graft) in a pot for 8 yrs prior to its forever home . 5 years in and its producing fantastically . Go for it!!

Good video. I have 2 lemon tress and a lime tree that I grow in planters on my decks. It's great because if it's going to be cold out, I can just bring them in. I usually get 10 to 15 lemons per tree. I just love watching them grow.

Just discovered your channel maybe a week ago and it made me so happy to see that you’re so close to San Antonio! We just moved to the area recently and I haven’t explored very much yet so I’m excited to see what you find around here 💛 love your channel and your style!

I always look forward to your posts!! Enjoying the restoration!!

That landscape to the very left of the display you created looks like Grand Teton National Park - You did a great job!

Those new rings are so pretty. I love simple jewellery pieces too. I live in Australia and when I looked on the Aurate web site I was very happy to see that they deliver to Australia. I can't wait to start scrolling through their web site and making some selections. Having a life time warranty is amazing. Thanks for sharing this information with us.

Loved that you helped your favorite store. Love your enthusiasm ❤️

That was so much fun to watch! Plus I get a glimpse into your process and I need all the help I can get when it comes to decor etc

That was fun watching u put those finds together looked great can't wait till the next!!!

My sisters and I will sometimes do the same thing and create a grouping of items we've discovered in a thrift store. We have a lot of fun with this❗😉😍 On a side note, it's not unusual to find a thrift that's hard to get into to clean (like a vase with a bubble bottle and a narrow neck). Get some denture cleaning tablets (like Efferdent). A dollar store is a good place to get these inexpensively. Put water in the piece and drop in the tablet. Let it sit overnight. Rinse with clear water and voila, sparkling again! 🙌 If the crud inside is particularly stubborn, redo the same process. Generally it only takes once,, but it may take a couple times. Good luck! 👍

Thanks for sharing your journey!

Was thrift browsing today and saw so many goodies. I Iove antiques so much. They remind me of my GRANDS. 💜💜

Love all your channels... Id love to see you make over a room with just thrift finds... that would be amazing! I’m sure whatever you decide to film... we will love it! 😘🤗

My mom and I were able to stop by Faith and Funky Junk. Your display was all gone! But mom did buy those green plates with different flower designs on them. Great stuff.

Oh what fun to play with the Thrift Store goodies. Very nice display!!

I love all ur DIY! I love ur personality so much 🥰 you are so beautiful and so talented!

It would be really fun to see you collect and style special little items for the guest rooms! Guest rooms are so fun to decorate because you feel empowered to go outside of your current style and try new color palettes or motifs that don’t necessarily perfectly match the rest of the house ☺️

it might require a bit of dragging things around but some old crusty pillars, some shabby chairs, (cane?) some french doors, flowers spilling out of a crock off center on a character filled patio table- ready for coffee for two. like, make little theme based roomlettes...front & center with yourself.

Very fun video! Love your thrifting inspiration. It would be fun to see different theme table scapes made with only thrusted items. ( theme ideas.. ladies tea, birthday party, Christmas, baby/wedding shower table) 🥰 keep up the great content!

You are going to get the pick of the litter!! Smart girl!! 🥰

Always love that type landscape...

MaCenna for real your inspired me so much. Love you so much 💓💓

Love the lemon tree in pot.

I think it would be cool if you created a whole living room vibe inside the store... using furniture, rugs, throws, decor!!! Create a vibe you can walk in and around!!!

Love how you put that display together! You’re so talented MaCenna. 🥰❤️

Love the thrift store content:) I really enjoyed watching it☺️

Yes! I have a Lemon tree! I started it from seed!!

I really enjoy your thrift flip videos as you come up with fantastic ideas. Thanks for sharing ❤️

You should do a challenge where both you and your mom pick things for each other to thrift flip and see what you come up with. Or have Romeo go shopping for thrift flips for you to do and you don’t find out until after and see what you come up with!

I’m so happy for you!

Hi from UK. I bought some ceramic bottles in a local charities store this weekend and instantly thought these are so you.x

So much fun .... U could try thrift flipped items into a special display at this thrift store itself .... They might b thrilled at the increased quantity of base stuff they sell

I always smile when I get a notification of a new video. I can't wait to go thrifting this summer after watching all of your videos.

Love your idea. Do some more things like this!!

Go Macenna! I am always waiting for your weekly videos to be uploaded. Love from Cebu❤️

Love paintings,those were beautiful. Thank you.

I was in San Antonio and Fredericksburg for work in the past few days so of course I made sure to visit Faith & Funky Junk! I didn't have much time to explore but still managed to find several awesome project items! I told the owner that I was there because of you and she said you've brought so many people to their store lol. I'll definitely go back (I live in Houston) when I have the chance!

My mom had a potted lemon tree for 30 years it made the house smell amazing when it bloomed even tho it didn't make lemons for years. I made her get me one last summer!

Love your videos ! I would love to see a thrifted dinning table set up . With ideas for plates candles napkins etc all bought from a thrift shop xx

I just love it when your new videos come out. I am somehow feeling like I’m getting to be with my daughter by just watching you and imagining what it would be like to be hanging out with her again. I love the Waves song at the end. I know he’s singing it about his girl probably but it somewhat fits how I grieve over my daughter. It def comes in waves. The last few days have been so hard. I miss her more than I can say. She has banished us from her life snd her two daughters. It’s been 7 years and she only lives about 30 minutes from us. She’s so angry and refuses to talk with us about her feelings. I’m desperately hopeless a lot of days. You are so beautiful like her and you’re close to her age. Thank you for reminding me of her.

Always so exiciting.

Omg I just love your energy 😊💞🦋🌹

Love this idea! I’ve heard antique collectors say in videos that booths or stores that do best are the ones that are clean and where stuff has been moved 👍🏾

Hi MaKenna, I love your channel! I would love to see some more thrift flips or builds!

I love seeing you curating items for the thrift store; great idea!

I’d love to see more curated tables at this thrift store! I imagine it’s really fun because I always see things when I’m browsing that I don’t need or don’t fit my current home aesthetic, but they’re gorgeous items that I would love to style! Maybe it could be a series!

Love that you use eyeshadow to contour!

I loved the area that you designed at the thrift shop I would definitely buy some of the items.

I am happy ...a new Video ❤ you made my day perfect.

Loved your picks!

Love a good thrift flip 👍🏼

You are such a happy person Macenna,,, I love the vibes of your every video... I hope you get to 1 million subs, this year so more people can spread happiness to the world... ❤️ From the Philippines

You curated so many cute things. You have such a great eye. 🤍

Definitely would have gone with the green wine glasses to go with the green vase and pick up the muted greens in the landscapes.

IDEA: do make-overs in other people's houses with a small thrift budget + whatever they already own

We stayed in kerville last week abs was sooooo tempted to drive through comfort to see if we could find the cottage or eat in town

i love both of your channels, you are such a ray of sunshine. and you inspire me to own my own house someday! (:

Thanks for sharing and the coupon. Loved your video and look forward to Sunday's vodeo.

Scavenger hunt at the thrift store! And then a show and tell at the very end

Looove love love !!! You're such a pro! :)

Yes, please do more thrift videos, love how you created your story display! By the way, you can put a lemon tree in a planter- my dad built a huge wooden square planter with wheels & then planted the tree. The tree took off & produced some lemons. Take care

love these vids

Totally going to that thrift store tomorrow 🙈🤗

You are one of my favorite blogger ❤️

Perhaps you could do a whole tutorial on how you create decor vignettes. You are so good at it and it would be nice to hear your ideas...

I need to go very soon, and check out your display!!! I'm in San Antonio, and I've never been there.

Be safe and take care everybody!

When you post it feels like friday 🥰

Helping us thrift flip our things at home. So for example we send you some photos on an object and you show us how you would thrift flip it with pictures or examples. I for an example have a table lamp that I have no idea what to do with and maybe you can give ideas on it.

My mom used to add to her earthenware collection weekly shopping at IGA grocery store .

I have a lemon tree that I started from a seed. You might want to try that!!! Its fun to see what you can come up with from seed. Its like thrifting, taking something and making it something else. :)

You look exceptionally beautiful in this video! Loving the idea of volunteering at a thrift store - wonderful video - THANK YOU

Good Morning Macenna Its amazing see all you r doing It will be super , for the final home decor for the Cottage Home Regards ! Oh &I Iove your music background 🎸🎶
