shop now um they do like to Thrift too and they like plants also and they both drink coffee so we’re in for good afternoon today uh so we are here we just arrived in Galesburg our first stop I’m meeting them at Salvation Army which is a charity shop now I’ve not been to a Salvation Army for many years so we’ll have to check out and see what they have uh my sister did mention that they also have some um antique uh shops downtown and also some Consignment top type shops so and there’s also the little plant places to go to flower places uh garden centers so we’ll just have to see where we end up today uh but I think we’re going to have a fun day and I’m taking you along with me uh one note though okay this is the the housekeeping item because we used to get asked this and still do when we’re out my sister and I are not twins uh I am older I’m three years older than my sister but we do look a lot alike so when we go out in public together that’s one question that always comes up is are you two twins so we are not so just to give you a heads up so let’s get going and have a good day this is my sister Brenda that I was just telling you about doesn’t we look alike but we are not twins like I already mentioned there’s my mom Karen she does not want to be on camera so you probably won’t see her much on camera today Brenda’s going to be on camera camera though so I’ll do it okay so what are we looking for today guys uh Isabelle blooms Isabelle blooms okay yes this is the sister that is into Isabelle blooms actually she’s my only sister so she’s into Isabelle blooms so the chair is cute $7.99 so Brenda already found a cute little bench look at this little bench for what did you say $16.99 yeah yeah what could we do with that out in the garden it’s already garden green yeah that’s adorable yeah oh it doesn’t open it doesn’t open y That’s solid on there huh but it would be cute you’d have to take the material off to make it outside M and maybe put a cushion on it but put some potted plants on it would be cute too and I’m sure the cupboard down below could be fixed Y and there’s another little cart another kitchen cart we’ seen and a pretty lamp here’s 18 $18.99 for the cart and18 .99 for the lamp that’s not bad all okay here’s a cute little plant stand it’s very lightweight though so it would be a Tipper you $7.99 though but you can see how much it’s shaking but that’s a cute that could be repurposed and it could be sprayed any color okay this is cute too this would it already has little shutters and it’s a mirror and it’s green it has a place where it could set a ledge but that would be cute on a fence or out in the garden somewhere oh when it shuts look at that isn’t that adorable $1.99 okay and here is a pretty picture let’s move that that would be pretty with some flowers in it or just even Greenery like if you took some clippings from a tree or a shrub and put some Greenery in it um do I see a price $10.99 yeah but I thought that was cute too $3.99 for that but I was at an antique store and they use something like that and they put business cards in it oh that was smart and laid them up in it so I thought that was a cute idea yeah candy dish or a candy dish yep okay and this container is this lighting is not very good in here uh ceramic and it’s got you take the bow off $4.99 that’s really cute and that would make a cute let’s put it down here that would make a cute little planter for a potted plant or you could also put something down inside of it to hold fresh flowers that would be pretty too and I would take the bow off and change it out you wouldn’t even need a bow but you could decorate it up okay guys I like this mirror and it’s I think it’s $4.99 but it’s from Hobby Lobby and I remember and they may still even carry it I remember them carrying it a few years ago and I really liked it then but didn’t want to pay that price but I think this would look really cute out on the fence and as I’m showing it to my sister she likes it too but she said she had one almost just like this and she got rid of it had I known I would have taken it okay these pictures are kind of cute too and I apologize for the lighting the lighting is pretty awful in here um grow courageously think positively be happy and live spontaneously $5.99 each and here’s another pretty picture like that too 6 $6.99 for that one and they did have some other mirrors too but I like more ornate mirrors so but they have a pretty good selection this is like a little tea kettle oh cute that’s pretty cute yeah $4.99 49 they already have their fall stuff out yeah and Christmas is coming Christmas and July right well that’s fall yeah they’re Christmas oh oh all the Christmas stuff is done on this end yeah this is cute stuff I like this you like the welcome sign uhhuh that’s pumpkin you can put that out on your fence how much is it 3.99 3.99 that looks like a balloon it does look like it is B balloon and it’s actually 50% off it’s the green color oh okay but it’s I know I didn’t know they did that so if the tag is green oh this ISS blue blue oh yeah I think she said green okay if it’s green it’s 50% off okay and this is cute it was in with the Christmas stuff I don’t think it’s Christmas though $5.99 and it has ivy on it and it has that metal frame that could be repurposed into something really cute and then that little tree next to it that little Christmas tree for $4.99 that’s a nice size to tuck in somewhere mom’s looking at everything but she already told us she doesn’t want anything today that she doesn’t need any stuff she’s clearing out so we’re looking for her instead yeah I like I like anything with color it’s cute that would look cute probably in your sun room cuz it’s your sun room’s those colors blue yep and sit it there you could put a plant on it a plant stand y put it on top of a little in table and put a plant on it how much is it 5.99 5.99 I think you should get it nope she’s putting it back okay so this would be cute I I think I’m going to go ahead and get this because we could take this apart get rid of the ivy spray paint the oblisk and use the oblisk by itself out in the garden or even take it apart and put a plant in it and have the oblisk and I think that would be really cute so we’re on our way to a little plant place now I think it’s like a just a little Nursery isn’t it yep

  1. Hey friends, hope you enjoyed hanging out with us today and meeting my sister and camera shy mom!😉
    Thank you for liking, sharing and subscribing!💖💖💖Have a great day!

  2. What a fun girls day making memories with your mom and sister! I've never used a real mirror outside, but I really like it on your fence by the roses. Will the mirror get all splotchy when the backside of the mirror's reflective coating gets wets often from rain? If it does, I guess it could be repainted with the proper coating. Very pretty in that spot. ~M~

  3. What a fun day with your mom and sister. I loved the thrift sore, garden shop, and coffeeeeeeshop. You can tell I love coffee.

  4. Thank you, Michelle, for taking me along. I enjoyed window shopping. I think you and your sister selected lovely items. Nice meeting your mom and sister. What a lovely family.😊

  5. Fun episode Michelle. My sister and I are very close and both love gardening and visiting different nurseries, stores etc. loved the garden center you visited- very cool! I must say you and your sister are clearly blessed with Amazing beautiful hair!!😊🌻

  6. The blue flower plant name is Browallia aka Bush Violet. Endless illumination is just the variety name.

  7. I’m looking forward to watching this!! My goodness you and your sister are both gorgeous!!! I just had to say that before we get into this. 😍

  8. I just found your channel as I was looking for zone 5 gardening videos. I am from Galesburg so I hope you enjoyed your visit. Where is your home and gardens at? Gayle

  9. I just discovered you recently and wondered where you were in Illinois, because I am too! Nice to see what Galesburg has. It's just about an hour from me. I have a couple of face planters, I love them. I have succulents in them.
