On the West Coast here, we only have around a hundred and fifty years history. But my daughter just moved to the East Coast and shes blown away by finding gorgeous antiques on every corner. Granny passes away, and the family puts everything out in the yard sale. They have 300+ years of history on the East Coast and Granny hung on to all the family heirlooms. I'm so jealous.

@superannieoakley4513 Месяц назад

I'm from Chas. SC but stuck in OH for now & I so miss all those fantastic estate/garage sales! Of course, they have antiques here, but their style is a lot different. I'm moving back home soon & can't wait! I'm suppose to be downsizing, but that's not really working. lol I can't wait to move back home & find even more goodies! 😉

I just stumbled onto your channel.. I’m 75 and am loving all the young women loving antique and traditional decor in their homes. I plan on watching your older videos because I can find new fresh ideas. Am subscribing right now!❤

I am like you Maggie, I so enjoyed the beautiful things of yesteryear! Just looking at them brings me tremendous JOY!! ( maybe I was born in the wrong era, lol! ) I am also 75 years young like you😀! Nice to have company! For a while I thought I was the only older person loving these antiques classics!

There really is something scientific about the ambiance of candlelight. It quiets us. The dimmer hours of evening, prepare our brains for sleep. The dance of flame is mezmerizing and calming. We can learn things from the past lifestyles that would better ground us today. We are on our bright phone screens past midnight these days, and we all have sleep issues.

@janfarrar1315 Месяц назад

I have a very unique suggestion for your ash bucket. My husband picked up 2 very similar buckets at a second hand store & made an outdoor fountain out of them. They are nestled so that 1 bucket pours into the next & then into a small stock tank. The water recirculates. One bucket is brass & one is copper. The stock tank has been painted an earthy green with a copper band. Quite attractive & the sound is wonderful!!! I too live in Kansas & the sound of running water is a rarity here😊😊

@tammiejo Месяц назад

I nabbed a collection of 42 beautiful leather bound vintage classic books at a garage sale for $40 last weekend at a garage sale. It’s not uncommon to find books at garage sales but to find books that are already on the TBR in near perfect condition and for so cheap? My magnum opus thrift moment for sure.

I love antiques . I always wanted to open a antique store but just have not had the courage to do so and I collect lots of antiques etc to keep them from being thrown away etc and to give them a home and safe space if a spirit is staying with that piece to keep them safe . I love that you have picked up so many things and created such a gorgeous home love ❤

@debcunningham5011 Месяц назад

Wonderful treasures! Helpful tip: compare the hole diameters on your salt and pepper shakers, the larger hole for salt, smaller hole for pepper…also number of holes in each helps, more holes for salt, less holes for pepper. Enjoy your fun finds and looking forward to your next video.✨🌹✨

@cindyleis1195 Месяц назад

Your drawer was the front drawer of a treadle machine. The holes are fir long bobbins, which are older than the round flat bobbins. Great haul!

@nettieblowers2338 Месяц назад

Lovely episode as always! You’re sewing drawer looks very similar to some in my grandmother’s old-fashioned treadle machine sewing cabinet. That would be the piece either in the front apron that would hold spindles and other sewing essentials, or on the side to swing out from one end. Yours may be similar to this. Either way, lovely find!

The wood drawer that you have with the holes in it and decorative front, is from the side of a treadle sewing machine cabinet. Treadles were used before electricity. The wood was often very beautifully carved.

Hi Krysta. Such gorgeous finds!! You have a great eye for details. For the salt & pepper shakers you could use a little rub and buff on one so that the colour is slightly different and this would give you that slight difference you need.

@Trufriend61 Месяц назад

That drawer is from an antique treadle sewing machine, possibly a Singer or New Williams, circa 1874-1899. It would have been the center front drawer, whether it was a pullout or a dropdown and the holes are meant for the bobbin spools. ~Chris

When I was growing up my aunt and uncle owned 3 coal mines and everyone in our family had a coal and ash bucket like yours, except those had the mine logo on them. They’re all gone now, not one relative has one. I’ve looked for them, and as you said they’re $75 and up. I can’t bring myself to buy one because I want one from our family. Hopefully, someone has one stuffed behind their furnace or in their garage and I’ll still be able to get one that means something to me. I’d set it beside our fireplace, if I ever find one.

@beckymason5145 Месяц назад

yes, it is from a sewing machine it is the center drawer. The sewing machine cabinet is designed much like a desk with vertical drawers (usually 3 down each side) then one shallow drawer in the center just like a desk. the little holes were to hold sewing utensils/tools. that type of drawer usually folded down like todays sink Caddys for your scubbys etc. some were on a swing arm.

@shawnvalentine1166 Месяц назад

Salt and pepper shakers like the ones you have usually have different amounts of holes in them; more holes for salt, less for pepper (or vice-versa if you like pepper more than salt 😊)…that’s typically how you can tell the (subtle) difference…IF they have the same amount of holes you could stencil a small “S” or “P” on the side of each shaker…

Hi…love your beautiful finds….for the gorgeous ash planter with the blue porcelain handles..of course typical use can be fire logs..but rolled up towels long ways and put in bathroom, but I have seen those with a fern plant …and it is stunning….the grape embossed oval metal planter.. I would not use it as an planter unless you can find an oval plastic insert(amazon or Lowes/Home Depot) ..it will kill the plant and will rust inside..that is what causes the plant to die off due to rust gets into the soil spreads into the plant…use it more as a decorative piece …you could also fill it with decorative soaps in packaging and sea sponges/little wooden brush scrubbers..just layer cloth inside for volume… or roll up hand towels and put in your bathroom, near your tub on a wooden moody/dark stool at the tub or if you have room near your sink in the bathroom or on the back of the toilet if there’s room ….in a cabinet that has an open facing, or laundry room to hold laundry items or faux plant as well…it’s so beautiful it would be more for the decorative piece to the eye.. but you have a good eye..you will come up with great ideas!😊
