Great Haul as usual. All of the Christmas with southern living books have recipes in the back part of the books. It starts with decorating ideas and then the recipes. I have collected them every since they were published. Along with a bunch of other books in this style. They are definitely vintage but there is a plethora of them out there. They probably wouldn't sell for a lot
*Love the variety in this pick. The colorful floral afghan is so pretty...what a great pattern....and the fabulous books Zeb found.❤ AMAZING baby clothes, Jami. 😊*
Definitely one of my favorite videos! Loved watching your goodwill bins adventure and haul- some amazing beautiful finds for sure. And I thoroughly enjoyed watching you and Zeb outside painting those pieces. I love how you both walk us through the steps as you go- perfect for those of us who may be nervous to try a paint sprayer or new to using wax to enhance details. ❤
Score on the baby clothes!! I recently bought my first cottage color of yours in Jiniper. Totally impressed with it and obsessed with the juniper and it is just the color I needed. Will definitely try more colors when I can. ❤️🙏
@@JamiRayVintage I want to share pictures but my phone and facebook don’t get along. It messes up things on my phone and got hacked before. Love your channel! ❤️🙏
Jami!! I’ll say it again. I ❤ love this pink. You *know* I’m not much of a pink person. Or maybe I should say I WASN’T! I adore this piece. Plus I love Provincial, which I wasn’t so sure about either. But this is a classic and elegant color! Bins weren’t as big this time but I love the quilts and afghans.
Great linens , books , metal . baby clothes are so sweet ! Love that soft pink paint ! Those paint projects look lovely , it looks so easy when you 2 do the work ! Thanks ! Xox ❤
Thank you for talking about the sprayer. Using it and cleaning it. So many new people have missed all the early years of you painting furniture. I for one have purchased several sprayers I have yet to use. 🤷🏼
@@judyfreeman5051 I wonder if you can rent a compressor a spray unit is easy enough but the compressor is another as well for myself storage I have shutter closet doors and a sprayer would quicken the repainting much faster.
Zeb was teasing me until he looked up prices. I was like I told you they were good lol. Janie and Jack is one of my favorite brands when my kids were little. We’ll wash them with unscented pods and extra rinse.
What a cool city directory! Directories listed phone numbers in modern versions but not always. They mainly contained addresses of people living in the town, their occupations for a certain year and sometimes their employers. They contained information about local businesses and prominent people. Philadelphia (PA) city directories date back to the 1730s. 😊
The City Directory is so cool! My hubby and I used to have a huge oak antique wall phone for decor.. that kind of phone was one of the first types they were well before the black phones. It had a crank and we got it hooked up so just for fun you could speak on it (*not dial out..old days was an opetator.) We sold that house and sold the phone..but at the time bought an antique City Directory from the town we grew up in just for decor with the phone. A local museum in Burbank might like that one you found! It's history! And our prefix to my youth phone was ELLIOT so the book would put EL then the number, Zeb. It's so funny to see that now! Fun find! Loved the flowered afghan.. it's a special one for sure! I like your pieces you sprayed..provincial is a great neutral color! Thanks for another fun video.. hope you cooled down a bit since you shopped! 🥵
On the phone book phone numbers used to start with letters for ie WA(Wabash)4-5678 ie SK(skyline)5-1234 etc....this was late 60's or 70' and prior to that......great haul on the baby items...
The clothing that you found was soooo cute! That torn up music and bible would make great ephemera. I love the painted pieces. I would definitely want to spray that sconce too, very fiddlly otherwise. Great haul to see Saturday night!
City directories are an import genealogical resource , very common until safety and privacy became more important. It’s kind of thrilling to read them and find grandparents, great grandparents, where they lived and worked…
You never had an address book delivered every year? That was a really good one, that probably when a person had to direct your call. Time it with a period phone Great for a decopage paper
I was chuckling when you were going through that Burbank phone book. Those odd numbers were phone numbers. Example: KL5 - 1234 was Klondike 5, 1234. I don't recall what CH stood for. Anyway, good find! (does that mean I'm old? Ok, yes)
Amazing video! The projects are so epic! How did you learn all the pain terms, styles, products to use? "wipe back", "white wax", etc. "Milk paint?' Not everyone is knowledgeable as you two are! Each project a little treasure to be discovered! Love that you are saving the books! According to research, around 120 million books end up in landfill sites every year. Overwhelming.
Have you thought about selling those loose pages and busted books along with your decoupage materials? I would buy a partial book of music, the Bible, interesting pages, aged pages, interesting images, etc. I was thinking UP TO an inch thick per bag/package. Much less, depending on the content. I would buy a part of that falling apart Bible for the price of a whole Bible. Keep in the leaves and things. 😊 I thrift shop vicariously through your channel and am always sad when Jeb has to pass over those items. I'm not only thinking decoupage, but use the pages as art for framing, wrapping other books with empty book jackets or hard covers, background in vignettes, and incredible for crafts. I'm inspired.
That clock turned out fantastic. Eugenics is a very dark philosophy and really messed with young women who were deemed “troubled.” Just an FYI Everything looks fabulous, loved those little boys clothes.
City Directories have addresses and members of that household, phone number and employment, I think they were listed by names or addresses, I can’t remember
The letters represent part of the phone number too. In my area there was a phone number - Gunderson7-1234. So the phone number was GU7-1234 and on the phone dial there were letters and numbers.
