Good Morning everyone! Today we are going Thrifting! After our fun outing in my little New England village's Antique shop, we are off to another town just off Cape to go for a thrift. This is almost the polar opposite to the high end antique, but a great place to fun some fun treasures.
I want to apologize for the fast and shaky camera work in the video, as I'm still learning to shoot video 'out and about' and when I can afford a gimbal it will be better as well, so thank you for your patience until then.
We luckily find a treasure to take home and happy day it matches our American Limoges dishes I shared in a previous vlog.
After that we take a walk down to the dock at high tide so I can show you how drastically the sea changes, taking over the beach and almost covering the dock.

I loved the walk to the dock and how you described the water coming up onto the dock as "playing a xylophone". That's exactly what it was like. =) Such a very lovely place. You are blessed to be able to live there and enjoy that beauty. I also loved the chair that you bought. What a sweet find.

At least I don't have to travel far to enjoy it, so that helps with travel time haha.

I'm so glad, I will post next time we have full or new moon when it is VERY low so you can see how much more is exposed. The ever changing sea means my view is never really boring. It also helps me not feel so bad about the weeds in the garden LOL, I can look away from them to the lovely view instead haha.

@mylifeandwhatitbrings9972 3 года назад

The design on the chair and crockery go well together, will be interesting to see where it goes in the kitchen area.

@DonnaDavisArt 3 года назад

I think so too! @maria kirk I think when the Boathouse kitchen is done it could even be a side chair near the built in banquette seating I'd like to make or over on the wall near where the sink will go and a chair is always needed in the kitchen, don't you think? It's pretty comfortable as well.

LOVE the doll house! I used to build and decorate them for baby gifts. Did a historic house for the historical society raffle in the village our cottage was in... Enjoyed the walk.

@DonnaDavisArt 3 года назад

Oh wow! That's amazing @Lake Lili it's one of the tin type doll houses. I actually have one somewhere stored in an attic haha. I Too LOVE dollhouses and miniatures. There is just something so magical about them. And how are you today by the way :)

@lakelili 3 года назад

@@DonnaDavisArt I'm great thanks!... hand sewing suitcase liners. For a laugh, I decided they needed pale blue and gold trim ribbon, so have made it twice as complicated. I have my son's tin lithograph barn tucked away in a box for his own children. Should try and find the silo that goes with it... and perhaps a farm house to round out the set. I'd love to make more doll houses but there is no market here and shipping them off the Island makes them too expensive. Something for the next stage of life. Hope the chair is happy in the Boathouse.

@judyrogers9313 3 года назад

I love your walks’!!! It really shows why so many of us choose to live in New England ❤️. It’s breathtaking ( on most days , lol )

@DonnaDavisArt 3 года назад

Yes, 'most days' lol @Judy Rogers as we are coming into Winter, we shall see. Though I am spoiled by our location to the sea, despite it often meaning when we lose power (high wind usually or ice on lines) we are the LAST to get it back, as our area is mainly empty this time of year so on the grid we are the last 'needed' so generator, open fire and kettles on logs is a normal Winter day round here :) But, yes, New England is always my choice in the US. I Love UK but in our country I'm just a New England kind of gal I think :)

@robinchurch5658 3 года назад

Just loved this episode, Donna, from the jazz piano music in the beginning to the sea playing the xylophone on the dock at the end! Looking for treasures in thrift shops is so exciting for me, especially when you could find one as adorable as the Eastlake chair. How serendipitous that the fabric matches your American Limoge. And the autumn beach walk-ahhhhhhhhhh🤗

@DonnaDavisArt 3 года назад

Thank you so much @Robin Church I'm so glad you enjoyed it. It was a fun day out and I hope to make more such outings, as long as we keep opening up a bit. I'm also getting a camera gimbal so I can make it less shaky, always trying to get better :)

@DonnaDavisArt 3 года назад

Thank you so much!! This is such a kind comment. I was SO inspired by Lalande. I'd tried a few videos before the world went south and then just sort of forgot about it, but after Lalande and others like hers helped so much during lock down, I just had this drive to give it a go as it makes me feel like I'm out IN that world I love to view with their vlogs :) I need to improve my filming and such, but step by step.

@tootsieb11 3 года назад

Sadly I don't have sea legs🤢 but I do love the sound of the ocean lapping onto the shore, heavy rainfall, strong winds blowing through the trees. I remember when my boys were small, my late husband would gather 3 foldable garden chairs and they would sit underneath the aluminium roofed car port we had then and listen to the rain and hail bouncing off against the roof. It was very atmospheric. I love the thrift store... I would be a frequent visitor... I think you should buy the small sofa and leave it untouched... it was perfectly beautiful xx

@DonnaDavisArt 3 года назад

I know, I keep thinking about that sofa. I'm going to go back and whilst there film a bit more slowly and maybe with my new camera Gimbal when it arrives :) Always learning and hoping to improve my videos :) Thanks for stopping by @Ruth Bernstein and I love that story of the rain and hail, those sounds are just so soothing aren't they?

@DonnaDavisArt 3 года назад

I love vintage clothes and used to dress in specific periods for pleasure most days. I've never been a 'jean' girl it's more fun to dress up, I think anyway. As the weather cools I def move more towards the 1900s thou anywhere from there to early 1960s is always in my mind when I'm picking out clothes :)

@Booklady...116 3 года назад

Hi Donna: That was quite the Thrift Shop! I think I enjoyed it more than the antique shop, and that's a lot. The water comes up through our dock boards, too. The only difference is that the water is fresh, not salt. It speaks of summer to me.😀 I love the sound of lapping water, it's so soothing. We honeymooned on the Cape, many years ago, so I really enjoy your walks, keep them coming, please.

@DonnaDavisArt 3 года назад

Oh, I'm glad you enjoyed that thrift shop, it's a fun one. I'll probably go back to all these again when I can get a Gimbal and film more and a bit slower so people can just have a 'browse' but it's a learning process every time I make a video. The prices are Definitely better here, than at the antique shop. I'm so happy you like my walk, your freshwater dock, do you have tides? I've filmed this walk so far at mid tide, here was high and I need to do a low tide so you can see how far the pilings stick out of the water and how much more beach is exposed. I love the sea, the tides, the waves...heck I just love being near water :) Thanks for stopping by @Beverley Wittig

@Booklady...116 3 года назад

@@DonnaDavisArt I think a Gimbal is a great idea for filming, I looked into buying one for myself, even though I don't vlog!😊 It just makes everything look so professional. And yes a little slower over the items would have been great, just to see the items closer. That way we can live vicariously through your thrifting! Ours is a fresh water, inland lake in mid-western Ontario, Canada. Although we have three of the Great Lakes within an hour and a half drive from where we live, we love our little lake and being near the water. Thanks for your comments, looking forward to Wednesday's vlog!

On our freshwater lake in Missouri we enjoyed many of the benefits . The “sea weed” was amazing in my flower beds. Sometimes we were completely alone. There was not a surf just waves. Early in the morning while the children slept, I would have my coffee on the deck. The water looked like glass and reflected the trees. I watched a deer and other wildlife swim across the lake. And yes it seemed like a different place in different light. One very old we ice skated on the lake. We did not have a phone blessedly,but the neighbors did. I waked a lot and picked wildflowers for the table every week . The memories will always last.

Hello from Wisconsin. I am New to your vlog, love it. Your thrift shop is quite similar to many of the antique stores here in the Midwest. We too have more expensive shops, however, very seldom will one find pieces from the 18th century simply because they’re not here. You may find older pieces in southern Illinois or possibly Iowa as the Mississippi River was a point where people on their journey west would start running low on money and need to sell things, especially larger furniture - as legend has it. I love the history of “old” things; thank you for the shopping trips. Your walks are delightful. I have visited Boston, but have not been to the cape, maybe some day. Enjoy the remanded of your beautiful autumn 🍂🎃🍁

@DonnaDavisArt 3 года назад

Hello @Leslie Weber so glad you found me! We do have an interesting blend of thrift/charity/junk shops mixed with higher end antiques (some lovely things in Boston too) and auctions. I hope to share more of it as I can (depending on how our world goes, eh?) I love that history to think that a cherished old 1700's secretary might have had to be sold off along the voyage West to continue onwards. Especially if the piece started in England and worked it's way across the world back then. Old things just have such soul. Well, I hope you'll visit me again and thanks for stopping by. :)

@DonnaDavisArt 3 года назад

I know, right? @laReynedEpee thou it is STRONG when it's fermenting haha, but it is really good. I also use the 'salt hay' the drying washed ashore switch grass as mulch for some flower beds (usually spraying it down first) but it's a really good weed suppressant. We use what we can and what we pay in taxes, not really sure it's free haha. I also LOVE to use our rocks for rock walls, but it's a heavy job.

Love the sound of the sea striking the dock. What is the temperature of the water? I’m from Texas and we have no scenery like this, love it.

@DonnaDavisArt 3 года назад

During this time of the year, quite chilly, but in Summer, in our bay here, as it is more shallow and the tides so severe it can get quite warm. And in July and August out front on our beach we can swim and if the tide has been in and just going out, thus heating all afternoon, it can be close to 79F or so. But, then the tide comes back with cooler waters from the open sea. It will never be the warm waters of your area, most likely. Tho I've never gone to the shore in Texas, but I assume it's much warmer waters.

Loved the walk to the dock. What a sweet lullaby to hear the water lapping....even on this video....may I ask why you don't sail anymore? Do ya'll fish from the dock?

@DonnaDavisArt 3 года назад

@Tracy Heath we don't sail anymore as it's too expensive for us. When we had our sailboat we were just vistiors to the boathouse and Hubby's family were really paying for upkeep of property, as we are now the sole caretakers, we just can't afford the upkeep. It is very expensive to keep a boat, have it painted each season, docking and hauling (as we no longer can keep them in our own boathouse) and so we had to sell it. Maybe one day again, but probably just a small day sailor when that happens. I don't fish but want to start. We have a friend who does, tho and he's always after me. I used to fly fish all the time but not so much anymore.

@@DonnaDavisArt now I can feel and see the deep love you have even more now when I see you stand and look out over the sea. I literally almost cry sometimes when I see you do that because I feel its a longing for you to be on the sea. Oh my the memory's and deep passion you must have for the sea. Your not just a spectator your part of the heartbeat of the sea. You have surely planted and nourished so many souls to observe more of their surroundings and absorb through all sense the gifts of nature by your child like excitement and joy of your beach and mystery and respect of the sea.. Sometimes those moments are so overwhelming that I feel I'm gonna explode with pure amazement and awe. Thank you for being you and being real. Thats what we crave I think is to see others being real and enjoying life, the good, the bad, the successes dreams and yes even the failures, so simple yet so fulfilling. Thank you for the videos that bring us back to a younger place our beings that we want to create and explore before we grew up. Lol

@DonnaDavisArt 3 года назад

Yes we do have such places, tho many are not allowed to be opened to much. My neice and dear friend who lives in a different part of the Cape went out the other night to a coffee house where a friend's band was performing but it had to be fewer people, masks and such, so it's not the same, not now anyway, but hopefully the world will get back to normal. There is even a fun old dive just off Cape that plays Jazz and old blues that has a character of an owner barmaid/landlady and I'd love to film there, but they have not been open now since March so I'm not sure if they'll even make it through? Oh well, funny old world now, we'll see what happens. @Suzanne Lawson
