madonna came from a christmas flower arrangement that her mom had bought at a local florist the arrangement didn't survive but the madonna did i wanted she wanted me to have it she has no markings i don't care my mom bought her probably in the 80s kitchen towel reminds me of my pug of 14 and a half years dooley ray brown oh hence the christmas card oh thank you lena thank you so much i will put

kaitlyn's gonna love those maps i guarantee it oh my goodness okay all right well with that it's always hard to follow up a haul video when you get such a wonderful friend mail and gifts from someone but let's get to it um as i said everything in this haul is from the scrap exchange from a couple of weeks actually several weeks ago um i'll tell you what it is i'm going to be saving for myself and what i'm going to be reselling and don't forget watch through to the end of the video because i would love it if you're new to my channel what i do is i ask everyone to leave a comment in the comment section down below and let everybody know what your favorite find was from this week's haul and i will also let you know what my favorite find was and since the madonna is not a find i can't claim that as my favorite find from the hall but she is definitely a favorite uh so i picked up i don't know where the like the main paper went on this but it was this kit and it was to make a tobacco basket i paid four dollars for it it came with everything that you needed except there was one thing it didn't come with oh the paint it didn't come with paint if you wanted to paint it and i have been wanting a tobacco basket for a very long time but if you know me you know i don't like to spend a lot of money for things so when i found that kit i went ahead and purchased it and this is how my tobacco basket came out let me know what you think there it is so that's how my basket came out it's a little wonky i call it on the bottom here but you know what i don't care i'm not sure that they're supposed to be perfect anyway and they suggested that you paint it but i went ahead and just um i used some brown paint and i watered it down just so it kind of looks like sort of more like a stain on it but i have i'm pretty happy with it the way that it came out and it's probably about maybe a foot and a half um you know this way and that way across so i'll be putting that up somewhere in my family room also got and if i find the receipt down here i'll let you know what i paid for everything some things were not marked and they told me at the time when i purchased it what they were charging so if i can remember i will let you know these are for my collection because i do have a collection of wooden spools and look at the size of this one i mean that is wonderful and it still has the thread on it uh the little decals have long since been worn off i want to say this was at either a dollar or 75 cents i honestly can't remember and then there was this one now this does have a mark on it it says no darn its patent office and in chicago so i've not seen a spool like that i thought it was pretty interesting and i think this was about 50 cents somewhere in the neighborhood of 50 cents so they'll be going in my personal collection um they had a little thing of paint which i picked up for just 50 cents so that's pretty good i guess one of the sample paints and i did open it up and check it to make sure that it was still good i have bought paint in the past from thrift stores and got it home only to find that it was really old and like not usable but this one was a small one so i was able to open it up while i was still there so this one is good i was happy to find that i found this i think i'm going to try and resell this it is an old corsage let me show it to you what does it say on here it says sweetheart pin on if you can make that out come on here it comes it's really tight oh the lid let me show you what it looks like it has to be spruced up just a little bit because the flowers are you know they're kind of they've been kind of squashed down over time but i thought it was really sweet and i thought somebody might be able to use that um in some kind of vignette or in an assemblage or maybe somebody just collects vintage corsages and there is the pin on come on now on the back of it so i got that and that was marked uh 75 cents i think that's 75 yep 75 cents this i bought for myself this was 50 cents and it does have a little staining on it and such but i don't mind at all it's an old vintage hanky i love love love this lace on it and i think what i'm going to do in that wall that i'm doing on my in my family room i think that i'm going to use this on that tobacco looking basket if you watched several videos back i bought this a wall basket that resembles a tobacco basket but you can put things inside of it so i think i'm going to use that kind of draping it out like that and then some florals in it so and again i know i keep saying but once it's finished i'll show it to you and i promise that i will these i'm in love with look at these lace gloves oh my goodness i saw them they were kind of at the bottom of where i found the lace hanky i snatched these up so quickly oh come on now i want to take the pin out without there we go look at how beautiful they are there's no holes there's no there's no damage and even on the back there is let me show you there can you see the design on the back these are gorgeous i am not going to be reselling these these are going to go with my vintage handbag collection i have one definitely one maybe two other vintage gloves that i'm gonna put alongside of those uh vintage handbags once i get that all together so i was really happy and i think they only charged me two dollars for these very happy about those now the next things i'm going out on a limb here these are going to be for resell resale sorry resale oh here's my receipt oops there we go here we are i paid a total of let me see here 1933 so for me that's that's a lot these are replacement pieces for lamp glass lamp shades they had a ton of these i looked them up on ebay they are from okay lighting if you can see and these a set of four of them can go for forty dollars and up as replacements now i got several of them that are the same let's see we have one two of that cow and then i have this one here so i'm probably going to be selling these individually but i'll have several of them you know available in the same style there's that one again yeah look at those two cows there oh sorry about that glare i have some lights right behind the camera because it's already nighttime out here in raleigh oh and it was a miserable day it was cold really cold and rainy so i have four of those two cows and then this barn scene i have one oh just one of those and then i have those chickens and the rooster and then i did pick up six of these i believe one two four it looks like there might be five of them i thought there were six of this race car and these i did find directly on ebay and like i said the set of six of these were going for forty dollars so i'm going to go out on the limb and see how they do uh let me see i think i think she said for all of these i think she charged me five dollars these went by weight so let me see here oh no it was five pounds five pounds and for these right that i all of those that i just showed you or it's ten dollars and twenty cents for the ones i showed you and then the duplicates so this was a little haul tonight um but i did want to come back on like i said and and share with you so my favorite of what i thrifted has got to be the gloves i i just love them i think they're beautiful i can't imagine how long it took someone to make these i'm so happy that they are intact and have not been damaged that is my favorite if you would in that comment section down below let everybody else know what your favorite find was from today um i'm gonna be out
