Now, when I go into thrift stores I pick pieces up and look at the bottom. Not that I know what I’m looking for but I act like I do. Love your channel. Just told a friend about you this morning.
Kristi Williams.... I turn things over and pretend I know what I’m looking for too! In reality, I can only recognise about three marks in total. Glad someone else is a big, thrifting/antiquing faker just like me!
You know what? I love what you do, you know that's exactly what I would love to do one day as a job profession hobby or else. Thank god for experiencing something like this in my life watching what I really love to experience
Hi. The little lacquered box is made by a famous Russian art factory -Palekh . The older they are the more valuable they are. You may want to learn more on Russian laquered boxes site. $6 is not expensive for these boxes... Good luck in your new endeavor!
Every time when you walk by those framed shell pictures, I am yelling at you to stop and admire them for a minute or two. I know you can’t hear me, lol, but I love shells!
It would take me hours to go through that place. I have to stop and look at everything. I compulsively turn things over to look at the bottom even if I have no interest in the item, haha
It is packed. I drove the 2 hours to go to the flea market out there and to this store. It is fantastic but I did not get a chance to really pick much. I had limited time and someone not a thrifter with me. At least I got a video out of it. I want to go back when I have more than one hour to go through it.
Once your store is open you won't have to worry so much about shipping stacks of plates or lamps. I am looking forward to when you can teach us about lamps and plates.
I just want to thank you for shopping and including all to join. I love looking at all the goods. You have such a calm , cool, joyful , peaceful nature, it brings me to a nice place, and I love the set up and the creaking floors in this shop!!!! Have a wonderful day!!! 🌞
I have one of those Donkeys as well. Mine has the gold flecks inside. Bought it for $10 from an antique yard sale and thought I got a bargain! Unfortunately after examining it I realized the butt was chipped and looked like the tail was glued back on, so I haven’t listed it. He has made a nice little home on my desk at work.
I LOVE THE SQUEAKY FLOOR!! Too bad you can’t sell that. There was a small antique/thrift store in town when I was growing up, sold penny candy as well. The combination of smells was wonderful, I can see the 2 floor boards now that were slightly off and came to a peak....thank you, you made me smile this morning
I have a “Bovano of Cheshire” shell wall hanging. The copper backing also bends easily which causes cracking in the enamel. 😥😥 Such beautiful pieces, and quite high resell values...
I thought it was so funny when you said “I wasn’t allowed to watch Smurfs as a child. You know, the whole my dads a pastor thing.” That was my childhood too. Lol.
Your corduroy quilt is a “Log Cabin”. The minor loose threads are an easy fix even for a non sewer. Replacing the flannel backed satin backing is not difficult because it contains little to no quilting but will be a bit time consuming.
I love the corduroy quilt!! The colors are such a great combo. The back looks like either a polyester satin or silk charmeuse. If it's silk that would explain the holes. Dang nibbly bugs.
That lil green dresser before you pick up the black and white diamond pattern oval box or bowl. Not sure what is was butl,that lil green dresser. Too cute!!! Thanks for sharing alot of good things.
12:37- I swear one of these days you are gonna open a cabinet and a critter is gonna jump out! I always flinch when you go hunting in one. Loved the dragon - sooo cool!
I hate creaky floors also but....there is something worse...being in the basement and hearing my moms 4 prong cane slamming down on the floor above with her every step. I felt like I was in a horror movie every time.
I'm from Waterbury CT, about 15 miles from BOVANO'S I dont know about the piece you found but a lot of their stuff goes for good money. Lots of flowers, birds, butterflies!
You know I bet you don't realize it but you could do gel nail manicures yourself. You just need gel base coat, gel top coat, gel nail polish and a nail drying lamp. The cost ends up paying for itself in a few months if you normally go to nail salons. I'm not artistic at all and I do it. There are a bunch of nail tutorials online like simplynailogical... You're so thrifty I'm surprised you don't already do your own nails tbh 😉
Is the quilt with the red dots a quilt or a chenille bedspread? Dolly Dimple was big in the 30s and 40s. You can find paper dolls, real dolls and porcelain tea sets for kids with her image. That hobbyist piece you found is close to what she looks like.
Bovano in Cheshire, CT made a ton of that enameled copper giftware. Dolly Dingle and her buddies were all over paper goods etc back in the 1920s. The creepy doorstop has too much paint left to be anything but repop or totally repainted. ( I don't know a ton about door stops, but I know that much.)
Hello Jocelyn! I completely understand your uncertainty with plates and the hazard of shipping, but I’m personally looking for blue and white and I believe other’s are as well as the French Country is coming back. Especially SPODE / SPODE BLUE ROOM. Just thought I’d share... every time I see blue and white in your videos I cringed.... lol 😂
No no not crazy banana box lady what about crazy nail polish lady LOL Sharon from Valley forge Pennsylvania my day off and I'm watching your show again.
I have a suggestion i imagine you know but you need to check that bottom Afghan to see if its the same a the one in the old Roseanne show. It is worth pretty good money
Slowpoke Rodriguez from Speedy Gonzalez?! Too bad he wasn't there. Your videos are great. I want to do re-selling someday. Your videos are helpful in figuring out how it works. They're fun too.
You are the crazy lamp lady. I know it must be hard for you to walk away from such a beautiful lamp like that. I love Pekingese dogs! I have 4 real ones and hundreds of glass ones. Some I got from you. It is so hard for me to walk away from one I spot while shopping. Gigi
I bought two of these Sooner Glass swans, one green tinted, and a smaller yellow tinted. The lady said there was a third larger red tinted one she was sure she hadn't sold and was mine as soon as she could remember where it was...🙂
05:52 Perhaps because factory workers are not expert at the inflection of eyebrows. 05:59 Well, of course Santa is judgey. As the song says, he knows if you've been bad or good. 06:42 Dang ... It's based on Log Cabin, but it isn't the classic block. Perhaps we could call it School of Log Cabin. 06:57 The backing has been got at by mice. I know that sort of damage. 07:25 Yeah, Paul has been hitting the bedcovers pretty hard, hasn't he? 08:11 I'm gonna guess he's Guatemalan, or some flavour of Central American anyhow. (He seems to be missing a spine or two off his tail segment.) 08:30 Just back away slowly... 08:57 Seems like the flamingo is standing in a flower bed in front of a clapboard house. Porcelier means it's probably pre-World War II; definitely after 1931, when they moved from Ohio to Pennsylvania. They went out of business in '54. 10:34 Dolly Dimples (note the plural) was the protagonist of a comic strip that ran intermittently from 1908 to 1933. 12:14 "... and the sheep are lying!" 😇 🙃 13:00 Ehhhhh ... They're all flat-wicks. Nothing there to get excited about. 17:13 Custom 2D6, but they'd be hell to use in a D&D game! 17:44 There was some kind of decorative thingy screwed on to that nipple. It's no longer present.
Madison Taylor .. He is tired...works all year round making toys for good little girls and boys, but he is tired now. Plus the elves have been up to no good lately and he is running out of patience. 😉
