You never quite know what you're going to find at Goodwill—and some recent trips were no exception! I brought home six unique thrifted finds, and it's a quirky combination for a video, but I couldn't resist seeing what I could do with them! In this video, I'm giving these Goodwill treasures a completely new look using Sweet Pickins Milk Paint, paint inlays, and transfers. From weathered and vintage-inspired finishes to unexpected decorative details, we're taking these thrifted pieces and reimagining them into something beautiful and completely different. You know I love the challenge of looking beyond what something is and imagining what it could become. That's one of my favorite things about thrifting and upcycling! And I'd love to know: Which makeover is your favorite—the Santos figures or the wild things? 🦊🐻🦌 If you enjoy thrift flips, vintage finds, creative makeovers, milk paint, and giving forgotten pieces a second life, be sure to like, subscribe, and come create with me!

We’re coming into my favorite season and it was time to visit the booth and give her a little fall love! 🍁🎃 #smallgesturesvintagecrafts #boothlife #vintagetreasures #fallseason #dahlonegaga
Fall Glow Up, Phase 1
Sometimes you just have to laugh at yourself. 😂 After hauling this MASSIVE Arizona thrift haul all the way back to Georgia, I decided there was really only one appropriate response… LAUGH. There was something incredibly freeing about looking at the things I bought, laughing at my questionable decisions, and simply enjoying the moment. No judgment. No overthinking. Just laughter. ❤️ And yes…there's a whole lot more to this haul! 👉 Watch the full Arizona Thrift Haul here: https://youtu.be/TX9Fyj-OgVU?si=2dzmdtV01eRA_EvE #ThriftHaul #ThriftShopping #ArizonaThriftHaul #VintageFinds #ThriftFlip #SmallGesturesVintageCrafts
I Had to Laugh at Myself 😂
What did I do?! 😂 We watch and we don't judge… right?! I went thrifting in Arizona and let's just say things got a LITTLE out of hand! What started as some casual treasure hunting turned into a massive thrift haul that I somehow had to haul all the way across the country back home to Georgia! In this video, I'm finally sharing everything I brought home—vintage treasures, pieces with tons of potential, and plenty of things that had me wondering, "What was I thinking?!" 😂 And if you know me, you already know that I'm not looking at these pieces exactly as I found them. I'm already imagining paint, transfers, decoupage, repurposing, and all the possibilities for giving these forgotten treasures a whole new life. So grab a cup of coffee and come see what I found! And be honest… have you ever gone thrifting and completely lost all sense of restraint? 😂 Let me know in the comments which piece is YOUR favorite and which one you think I should makeover first!
