Happy May!!!Sharing some goodies with you that I picked up last week. Please enjoy, like share , subscribe and leave me a comment. Have a wonderful day Michelle :) Stop by my Ebay store stores.ebay.com...
The lace edge milk glass pedestal type dishes are now being used by sewers and quilters to make into pin cushions and storage for little scissors and tools around the edge. I currently have my eye out for a blue or pink glass one. Addicted to your videos and staying up too late looking at them!
Beautiful items. Thanks for sharing. I have passed by those first items with the green vines because I did not know the history they had with corelle. Learned something new. So much good history about most items. Thanks Michelle👋👋😎💝
Hi Diane...thanks as always..that green sandwich glass was a great find! I think I have the same bowl as your Mom did...I keep it by fireplace and fill it with pine cones!! xo Michelle
I enjoy watching your hauls as they are always an education. While watching this one I was eatiing my supper on the Corningware Calloway Ivy dinner plate. lol I thrifted the service for 4 (20 pieces) a few years ago and still love them. I did end up breaking one of the plates but fortunately I found a set of 3 dinner plates at a thrift store (sold as a lot). The Ralph Lauren dishes are gorgeous. I found a Johnson Bros set of dinner plates that looks similar. I would have loved the entire set but sadly our thrift store likes to break them up and sell them individually or lot all the dinner plates together, bowls together, etc. TFS!
Hi Diane...so funny you were eating off the Callaway Ivy lol...yeah same here with the plates, I try to find atleast a set of 4 of something! Thanks for watching and commenting! :)
Another great video. I saw the Anchor Hocking white pedestal dish on Facebook as a sewing "helper." The bowl was holding notions with scissors, etc., standing in the holes around the rim.
I stumbled across your videos and absolutely love the format of them and how much detail and history you provide for everything, which I think is so interesting. I'm binging your videos this morning as it is Christmas morning and I'm awake hours before my kids are.. And I'm waiting for them to get up and open their presents. I'm a new sub now and will keep watching :). Thank you!
Hi PJ....just a total passion for me and when I found out all I knew about what I knew I moved on to items I don't know anything about and just love to research away! I am always learning knew things and love passing on what I find...I do it all online I only have one research book that I recently purchased on restaurant ware :) xo Thank you so much for supporting my channel xo
Your all fancied up with your hair and that blouse too! Well the iron rest/candy jar... Might as well sell it as an iron rest since it has no lid lol. Very nice stuff!
So? Would you recommend picking up Avon? The husband and I are just learning and posting finds on eBay. I’ve watched a few others that don’t recommend Avon due to the lack of $ and general interest.
I really dont Michelle..I used to buy every single Avon item I found..I ended up giving most of it away....I dont but it anymore..that being said someone just gave me some Avon cape cod that will be in a future video..it used to command big bucks but no so much any more :(
Great haul. Loved the covered casserole. I found no a six inch Pyrex pie plate with the crimped edge. I wouldn't have even looked at it but for watching your videos. Thank you.
Hellllloooo! You sound very happy today! Lots of great finds. I know that you had to be doing the thrift store happy dance out to the car when you found all the green glass. : ) I found a new thrift store yesterday. It was 60% off day. Bodes well for the future. I did find one thing---another crystal toothpick holder with a sterling rim for $1.63 including tax. Hopeful that sales will be good this week. Take care!
Hi D! I was just happy to put up a video...my happy place :) Cant wait to see what you find at your new thrift store...you my friend are like a magnet to silver....xo Happy thrifting!!! P.S. my sales were kinda slow this week been listing all week
I said a little prayer for you so that you are led to the right items that will allow you to sell and sustain your business. Resellers have a hard job keeping on top of trends and prices to make a living for their families. Wishing you the best!
My Spice of Life and Cornflower Blue!! You know that is my Gold!! The Wedgewood is beautiful. Winnie the Pooh!! So cute! The Christmas plates are so reminiscent of old times. Much love your way!!!
Michelle, I have a couple of questions for you. First, how are you going to get the black marker off the backs of the plates? Second, do you know why they call that green glassware “Sandwich glass”? Was it made in Sandwich, MA?
Hi Marjory....good question and I was planning on doing a video on sandwich glass. It got its name for the company who first made the pressed glass pattern...The Boston & Sandwich Glass Co. in Sandwich, MA Co. started in 1825 and the gentleman who came up with the pattern was named Lutz. Sandwich glass was made by many different companies in many different colors they are fun to look for and collect!! The marker washes right off with soap and water!!! xo Michelle
Thanks Steve...I saw it and there was also another but did not have the custom label so I didn't buy it, but my first thought was wow this would make for some interesting info for my youtube watchers so I am glad that I was right! xo Michelle
I have about 10 of those Avon Christmas plates in the box. They were in a lot at an online auction. I dint pay much for them and other things...probably a $or less for each
Yeah...Avon has lost most of its value and I have so much that I have collected over the years I think I am gonna donate most of them to charitable thrift stores.
Did not the green glassware. come in oatmeal boxes or perhaps in detergent boxes? Our ancestors would not believe the value put on those things today...but the dark green is very pretty!
I love the Madrid grill plate! You did well on it. I am often exhausted and at the end of my day when I find a few minutes to watch videos. I subscribe to quite a few channels. But when you put up a video, I always choose to watch yours FIRST. Why? Because I always learn something by watching yours. “Hi” to cameraman. Love ❤️ from Iowa, ~ Lori ~
Hi Elizabeth, I didn't know that either! I think that if they knew what they were worth, they would have marked them up, that is half the fun...finding something that gets "by" the workers who price them!! xo Thanks as always xo Michelle
LOL Hi Lorna....he wont lol...yeah...it has been awhile...been so busy was fun to put one up tonite and hear from my youtube friends like you,,,that's the best part for me! xo Michelle
I'm jealous because our Goodwill and other thrift stores here like the SPCA are SO expensive! Usually $1.99 for average plates and anything that looks at all vintage will be $3.99 a piece! California!
Hi Brian, if you guys want to buy it let me know..will charge you just about what I paid for it (ebay takes their cut) and for the shipping. Drop me a private message if interested!!! Michelle
Thrifting 101...Identify & Buy! Vintage Glassware Thank you for the explanation. Your hauls are so interesting and fun. Thrift stores in my area charge a lot for glassware. That wooden nickel would come in handy!! 😁
Grill plates.....Yeah always good to find them...The wooden nickel is a wooden coin you pay $5 for and then you get the discount of the week! :) I always wait for kitchenware and its 50% to75% off...that reminds me I need to take a trip up to Merritt Island!! thanks Glenda xo
Thrifting 101...Identify & Buy! Vintage Glassware . Since I started watching your videos I started buying the Corningware and picked up some of the minis. My mom had the AH Old Colony milk glass dish. I have about eight really small plates, maybe for cups, in the Forrest green sandwich glass. I probably picked them up from a little antique shop. I am moving in to a four room condo from a nine room house, so I am forced to downsize. I just put several plate holders in the Am Vets box today😥😥😥 I love collecting, but think those days are over.
Hi Helen...it is a wooden coin you pay a one time price of $5 for and that allows you to use the coin anytime you like for whatever the sale price of the day/week is :) xo
I loved that hand painted candy dish. Stunning! I also have a question, you mention your wooden nickel in almost all videos, is that a store you shop at or a special item you use? I'm confused. LOL
Hi Kitty...its a wooden token you purchase for a one time fee of $5 and that entitles you to whatever is half price, sometimes up to 75% off that day...I 2 for 2 different stores, one store I get 55 to 60% off. Thanks for watching and commenting!! xo
You can still make some money off many of the different glass. But the reason the price has dropped is because you had the depression area people who kept everything and then they handed it down to their children who had a connection to it but now as the baby boomers are passing it to their children, they have no connection to it other than possibly seeing it displayed in a china cabinet so they are selling it in auctions and yard sales and donating it to secondhand shops.Thus flooding the market and the law of supply and demand kicks in, not to mention there is still lots of it out they because they USED TO make things to last.
