you guys were impressed when you saw
what i found from 12 thrift stores in
two days
well just wait and see what i found from
18 thrift stores
in just one day welcome to day three
of thriftmas
[Music]
every time i call an op shop a thrift
store i betray
my nation the australians scream at me
in the comment section whenever they
hear me say
thrifting but you see i'm just saying it
to fit in with the cool american kids
but uh on google maps when you type in
op shop
in your local area it'll pop up and tell
you what sort of places are nearby
now i typed in op shop and i picked out
18 stores that i thought
would be a an easy driving path to drive
between i planned it so that my day
started at 9am right when the first door
opened
and it goes all the way through until
5pm when the last store closes
obviously you don't need to go to every
single one of the stores that i'm gonna
show you in this video but there are
some that i would consider
uh not to be missed if you're in sydney
i was mostly on the lookout for
homewares
christmas presents things for my kitchen
things for my husband my family
friends and like i said if you thought
that the last video had a good selection
just wait until you see what i bought
today
so with that let's head out to 18 thrift
stores in one day
the salvos at marion is huge i found
some of my favorite home decor pieces
here
these days when i get to a thrift store
i make a bee line for the spoons
not only is spooning one of my favorite
pastimes
i'm constantly on the lookout for quirky
and unique designs that i can turn into
jewelry
i think i could make these into bangles
the homewares are all color coordinated
here i have these pink ikea plates at
home already and they actually cost the
same at ikea as they did here
this frilly vase oh my god okay i know
it has a black rim
so it's not pastel but how could i turn
it down this is stunning and so unique
these candle stick holders look like
they were pretty old they're a little
bit scratched up i liked the
pastel colored one i don't have much of
a use for candlestick holders but look
as much as i want to buy every colorful
vase i see
i must resist sometimes these spoons
were hiding in this box
they're made in japan and i was thinking
that these would look really cute as
earrings i found the same bowls as the
pink ones but this time they were in
blue they were split up between
different color sections of the store so
i could have easily missed them if i
hadn't been looking very closely
i'll tell you what having a small car is
a blessing and a curse
i couldn't fit this cabinet in the car
which made me sad but it made my wallet
very very happy
the salvos in seven hills is probably
the biggest i've been to
oh this place is huge oh my god it's
glasses
the first thing i saw when i walked in
the door was a pink frilly
plate tray thing it's like they put it
there just to tempt me
once again i headed straight to the
homewares and dove headfirst into a bowl
of teaspoons
i said to myself i would only buy the
ones that looked really really
interesting
who would have thought that spoons could
look so very interesting
my love for iridescence is on another
level if i was voldemort
all of my horcruxes would be iridescent
like this plate
i'm obsessed with decorative glass
statement pieces and this thing would be
perfect for propagating plants this bowl
reminded me of the black plate that i
found at the previous store it had the
same sort of swirls on it frames are
always a great christmas gift to give
and you can put photos of you and her
friends in them this store had the
biggest furniture selection i've seen so
far you could literally fill an
entire house with the things here gosh
this
this is a fake chanel bag bless their
hearts they probably thought it was real
because they've priced it at
120 dollars oh my god that place
was huge i could have spent the whole
day in there literally
but i gave myself 30 minutes and the
majority of that 30 minutes was spent
looking at spoons
but i did get 36 spoons for 12 so that's
a steal anyway stay tuned for the
thrift flip on the spoons but now i'm
heading to borkham hills
it had only been a few days since i was
last at this store and uh
nothing new had been put out on the
shelves this is where i found my
beautiful stone tray
and there were also some nice pink
sneakers here which have since been sold
i headed off to the vinnies at castle
hill again hoping that they'd put out
some new things since i was last there
there were a few cute new things out but
pegasus was
gone someone adopted him and i hope he's
happy now at his forever home
pegasus was gone the royal dalton cups
were gone
there were a couple of little tiny
things that i thought i should buy but
then i remembered just how many more
stores i'm going to today and i was like
no i'll save my money but usually that
place is very very good so i'll come
back in like a week or two when they've
had time to restock
all right so i'll tell you guys a funny
story so
basically last week when i was thrifting
in windsor
i went walking up to the vinnies and i
was saying to myself
okay i really want to find a mushroom
lamp anyway so
i've heard about this thing called
positive um manifestation
where you can like manifest things into
existence now i'm not going to say that
i necessarily believe in that
but hey when you're desperate for a
mushroom lamp it's worth a try
so i'm walking toward this vinnies and
i'm saying to myself mushroom mushroom
lamb mushroom lamb
mushroom lamb and then i get there lo
and behold
okay look it's not the mushroom lamp
that i was after i want a murano glass
mushroom lamp
but it was a vintage ikea mushroom lamp
and it was pink
and i was so happy like i was just
beside myself overjoyed and anyway so
i'm heading to the pennant hills vinnies
now and i'm hoping i might be able to
find some
murano glass there murano glass
i believe it's italian i don't know if
murano is a brand or like a style
but essentially like art glass you know
like blown glass that has
dots and stripes and all things like
that
i've been coming to this vinnies my
entire life quite literally since i was
a baby
my family raised me on basically
exclusively thrifted items
and this is where we bought it all from
this brings back memories i literally
have pictures of me here as a child
like a little teeny teeny tiny toddler i
don't know how much homeware they'll
have they have a lot of clothing i used
to buy
all of my work uniforms from here they
had one wall of homeware
not much that interested me but what did
catch my eye was this gorgeous
antique looking mirror this one was 90
though and the smaller version was 50
and on day one i got a much bigger gold
mirror for the same price
so um i didn't get these well i had no
luck in vinnie's and i was just about to
get in the car and leave and i spotted
this this is a
lifeline i completely forgot this was
here i'm
excited it looks like they got heaps of
stuff my mum used to bring me to this
lifeline when i was younger
and the reason i forgot about it was
because it's mostly homewares and when i
was younger
there was nothing more boring to me than
plates lamps and
vases but i'm a homeowner now and i'm
almost 30
and if you're a 90s baby that also
collects quirky mugs
you'll understand the joy that i felt
when i found this
this store seriously had some of the
most beautiful glassware i've seen so
far
and i most certainly owe my mother an
apology for all the times i declined
visiting lifeline with her when i was
16.
i thought i'd hit the jackpot when i
found another one of these swirly glass
bowls to add to my collection
but then
would you believe it the universe smiled
upon me today and blessed me with
another vintage ikea mushroom
lamp
oh my god
[ __ ] look i don't know if it's divine
intervention or what
but i swear on my life that i did not
stage that but i didn't stage that
divine intervention or am i the luckiest
person
in the world maybe that's the same thing
i'm not sure
i feel like i shouldn't manifest
anything else because maybe i've got
limited powers you know and if i use
them all then i'll never be able to use
them again
maybe it's like a genie maybe i've got
three wishes maybe i've just used
two of my wishes and i've only got one
left so i feel like
i shouldn't wish for anything else today
i'm just gonna carry on to westley and
hornsby et cetera
without wanting anything specifically
because i don't want to use up
my magic i'm lost i am so lost i have
never been to wesley before
and i can see the salvos on the map but
i can't find it
it's okay i found it it's in this
shopping center
i thought that it was going to be like a
stand-alone thing but
look there's the sign up there salvos so
i had no idea this door existed and when
i found it on google maps i expected it
would be tiny like the vinnies at
pennant hills
but it was huge they had an enormous
selection of homewares like this pastel
toothbrush holder for one dollar
i don't have to put toothbrushes in it i
can put plants in it if i want
love a good pokemon find and love pastel
ice cream bowls
i spotted this guy which is the same as
the set from day one
i've seen this rainbow mug at so many
stores and i'm starting to think people
get rid of it because it's not
particularly practical to drink out of a
rectangular opening
i would have died for this iridescent
bag a few years ago but these days i
prefer to spend my money on pastel
martini glasses instead
[Music]
so this place used to be called the
wombat store i think it was it's a
another op shop i didn't realize that
they've changed a fusion off shop but uh
let's have a look
i'm constantly amazed by how many cool
glass vases i keep finding
and i loved this but i thought it was a
little too expensive
does anyone recognize that logo on the
side i would love to know where it's
from
i armed an art about it for so long but
i couldn't figure out what it was meant
to be used for
is it a base is it a bowl is it a cup
anyway someone started coughing up a
lung and despite me wearing a mask and
there being no new cases in my state for
weeks on end i hightailed it out of
there because someone coughing once
gives me anxiety after vinnie's it's
directly down the road
here it's literally just in a straight
line i probably could have left my car
where it was but
if i end up buying anything bulky i
don't want to have to carry it down the
street
so just a couple of hundred meters down
this way and there's a big vinnies
all right here we are high hopes i've
got high high hopes
it's parallel to a train station so if
you don't drive don't worry you can
easily get here
oh my god look another one of my
horcruxes
and it's an iridescent novel
hey recognize this guy this is from the
same collection as a vase i saw out at
the salvos enrichment on day one
i didn't get that vase but now that i've
found a second piece from that
collection
i think i need to race back out there
for it
this thing is crazy just pause for a
moment and read it
it might not be a mushroom lamp but it's
still shaped like a mushroom
this salvos is on the other side of the
train line to the first two stores
so if you aren't driving it's a fair bit
of a walk but it had a really large
selection of items so i would say that
it's worth it
just don't try to make the walk on a 40
degree day
i both hate and love this mirror at the
same time and would you look at that
it's another noodle vase it's from the
same collection as the four i found on
day one
this little pink plate is from the same
set as a plate i spotted at the lifeline
in pennant hills
didn't buy it but i find it crazy how i
keep finding matching items so far apart
from each other
so this little store is a converted
house sitting on old northern road in
gallston
i've driven past it so many times and
i've never gone in
they had a pretty good selection of
items ranging from homewares to clothes
and it was reasonably priced too
but there was nothing i wanted i left
feeling a little bit disappointed but
also you've got to remember that you
don't
always have to buy something don't write
a store off because it didn't have what
you wanted
give them some time to restock and check
back in a couple of weeks and remember
just have fun
just enjoy looking at quirky items you
don't always have to buy something
i headed to the salvos in dural another
favorite of mine for many many years
i literally have this at home and look
the donut light is still there
this is so cool it's a coffee table with
four mini coffee tables underneath it
i headed to the vinnies at round corner
where i once again found some very
interesting bases
this one must have come from new zealand
because it was a sweet asber
i was so tempted by this cushion and i
would have bought it but i got
distracted by
this i have two of these at home already
so obviously i had to get another one
[Music]
once i was done here i headed along adam
grove road and i popped out near the
vinnies at rouse hill this is a really
small store with a tiny homeware
selection
these glasses were cool but they had no
base on them
when you're drinking what's going to
fall over first you or your glass
i loved this frame but it had this
beautiful porcelain floral artwork with
it and i didn't want to destroy
it by ripping that out and putting a
photo in it
they color coordinate their clothing
here which is very helpful and
look at these iridescent wine glasses so
tempting
i have my build on i have some south
african drinks this is
twist i don't really know what it is but
i'll give it a try and this
lychee one and uh look i was gonna give
up for the day
but but seeing as i'm in rouse hill
i'm gonna make the trek to windsor and
potentially richmond i'll see how i go
for time it's just coming on three
o'clock
unfortunately the windsor salvos is
going to be shut they close at 2 30
but the others all close at 5. i've been
to 14 places i just counted
may as well bring that up to
17 why not if only i could have done 20
but
alas i'm only human the drive to windsor
is beautiful all this land here is
under the flood line which means they
can't use it for residential purposes
so it means there's endless planes of
green as far as the eye can see
all right so vinnies at windsor had me
hooked before i even got through the
door
this was 15 and it's perfect to use as a
plant stand
i saw this jug last time i came here and
i didn't buy it because it had a made in
china sticker on the bottom
meaning it's not you know like expensive
italian glass and yet it was priced at
30
so as much as i love it i think it's a
bit too expensive
every thrift store i've been to has had
something pineapple themed
in like 2016 i think it was pineapples
were all the rage
and i feel like all the millennials that
bought pineapple things to decorate
their apartments with have decided
they're over it now and they've all
ended up being donated
this store had a huge christmas range
and i will totally
make a thrifted christmas decorations
video and if you want to see that don't
forget to subscribe and turn on post
notifications so you don't miss it
i wanted this vase so bad but it was up
high on a shelf and i was too socially
awkward to ask a staff member to get it
down for me
if you head further toward the blue
mountains you come across richmond a
beautiful historic town with three
thrift stores
this finis is really reasonably priced
it's where i got my huge gold mirror for
fifty dollars
the furniture was super cheap too and i
also bumped into a subscriber here who
knew it was me because she looked at my
shoes and thought they were super cool
and then saw my shocking hair dye job
and knew
it couldn't be anyone else
down the road is the salvos where i
found another
of this phase that i found the other day
they had some nice clothing here and
some good furniture too
luckily this phase was still here so now
i have a matching set and oh my god it's
another one of my horcruxes
an iridescent miniature vase oh
my gosh it is quarter to five
i'm done there is one more op shop
that i just tried to go into but they
turned me away they said they were
closed
they closed at five it was 4 45 they
were like sorry we're closed and i
didn't want to be a karen and say but
you closed at 5.
so i was like oh sorry and then i left
so uh 17
thrift stores in one day i have all of
my
wears kojita's wears they're all down
here they're all
you know through here and in the back
seat and in the boot and everywhere so
