A big rummage sale, a surprise find at the bottom of a bag that I bought for a little more than 25 cents. Love finding vintage smalls! Follow me on Instagram @paperandmoose #vintagebreakfast #rummagesale #vintagehaul
Civil War diaries? Have you thought about volunteering to work the rummage sale? That way you get first dibs. Plus you would make a passel of new friends with a potential for house clean outs etc. Wowzers. I can truly see that marketing to children really, really worked.
I absolutely LOVE how excited that you got when you found the ring in the bag. The expression on your face is wonderful !! When I was helping 2 friends of mine clean out a bunch of abandoned Flea Market Shops and they wanted to pay me, but I didn't want money I just wanted a few things at the end of each day. I showed them "my little hoard", they were amazed at the things that I wanted. Just little pieces of JUNK as they called it that they would have throw in the trash. But that little stuff (like your ring) is what makes me happy!!
That's why, though sometimes I feel overwhelmed, I remind myself that while people collect/sell similar things, we each have our own things that we find that we consider treasures while others would have no interest at all.
@@PaperandMoose It took us 2 months, working 7 days a week to get those shops cleaned out. They both keep telling me to take something that was worth something. Those little treasures most likely had no monetary value, but all the trinkets ( as they called them) made me happy! I still have most all of them. I know that you understand!!
I know last December that you were getting ready to leave the corporate world and couldn’t show us how you decorate for Christmas, but I hope this December you will give us a tour. As always, a good video. :)
It is hard to imagine that one organization can collect that much stuff every year for a rummage sale so it is easy to see how shopping there could be overwhelming. Even though you didn't buy a lot you got some great things and I love watching your reaction when you see something in the bag of goodies that you were not expecting. I hope you went back for a second look so there will be another fun video to follow. Thanks for sharing!
I used to go to a sale in NJ that was twice a year. One of the old guys who helped out used to say that every sale. How can people still have so much to donate every 6 months! Lol
As to the rabbit, "Blessed are the cracked, for they let in the light." I think it's great that you give the things you buy - and those you don't - human characteristics. The sad crocheted rabbits, for example. My antique clocks, trunks, lamps, instruments, photos, elephants, etc. sit around and talk at night. Swapping stories. Calling each other out. Every time I bring something new in, it's anxious for a few days but eventually becomes a part of the group. If only I could hear the tales they are telling. Because, in addition to relating fascinating history, I'm sure they're not above exaggerating for effect - and I'm sure they wouldn't let facts get in the way of a good yarn. So, educational and entertaining. After all, "Stories only happen to them who can tell them."
It'd make a great story, to base it on an antique or thrift store and the items talk to one another There's always that one item that is a little damaged and never gets adopted, until the end of the story, when someone like Renee comes in and sees the beauty in the flaws!
@@lisagrafton2529 ha ha also sounds like the story of how I came to be married. A sorry stuffed animal saved during a trash bag reveal. In fact (and I am not making this up), when we’d been married several years I asked my wife what her initial impression of me was. She said, “A stumpy gorilla.” Twenty-nine years later and I’m still here though. Under the tatters and grime I’m a quality piece. If I do say so myself :).
Little kissing Santa’s were a dime a dozen when I was a kid growing up in 50’s. Yes, pull string & with a good battery, back in the day, they worked by lighting nose. Thax for bringing back some precious memories!! ❤️👍 Great finds!! 🤗
The hat is most likely an Amish young boys hat. I love how excited you get over the little things. They used to put such great premiums in cereal and cracker jacks! Not anymore!
You always get lucky with your goodie bags. I really love the little pack of cards. The graphics are so cute. Great hat! HR Puff n Stuff, Jack Wild was my first crush lol. As for the kissing Mr and Mrs Santa so damn cute! Bunny is gorgeous. All in all you had a great day for sure x
I think you are the dearest person. You are so kind and I love your expressions when you find something you absolutely love. Blessings to you and please keep you tubing.
I’m pretty sure those plastic shapes are for children to draw round, like a stencil. Not sure where or When those ones are from, but I had similar stencils in the 80’s (not those shapes thou). Love those cards! 😍
I was looking at your face when you were getting all excited about HR puffin stuff and I was like how does she even know about that because I am 53 and that was when I was very little, it’s so cool that you have them on VHS most people your age have absolutely no idea that that show even existed and I absolutely adored it when I was a little girl. Nothing like it ever again.
I shared a screen shot of the card Tomboy Tillie to share with cousins. Their mom was Tillie. They said that back in the day my Aunt Tillie was asked to play baseball on a team like in League of their own but my grandpa wouldn't let her go. How wonderful it was to find my families history. Good job!
Renée, one of the reasons I enjoy watching you is your excitement over the things you love. Your attitude towards all things vintage is catching!! Some day soon, maybe when you don't have enough content for a video, I would love to see some of your collections. Dennison, dixie, religious icons etc. I think it would make a great video!! BTW, was that Taco Stacks saying he had been waiting for you? lol Anyways thanks for sharing your adventures with us!!
Those little plastic toys were the types of toys my kids got to pick from the pediatrician. H.R. Puffenstuff was in my time. Lol Witchy Poo was always trying to steal the magic flute. Lol
Am I the only one to love Renee's excitement when she shares her hauls? Renee, you are like a kid at Christmas. I LOVE IT! Thanks for making me smile everytime
I spent many years helping set up our synagogue's rummage sales. Some people donated really nice things. We also threw out some junk. It was a good money maker. Have fun.Tina
Hi love your videos. Re the open mouthed green man @ 19:20 was a little puzzle for kids. The mouth contained a shiny ball bearing the trick was to remove the ball bearing using a thumb & index finger…can’t be done because of natural oily skin! You have to rub your fingers vigorously on your sleeve or skirt etc to remove all traces and then it’s easy to lift it from his mouth. I had one of these as a child, I’m now 70 yrs in UK. Think I was about 6 or 7 took me ages to work it out, guess my parents were happy that it kept me busy for a while 😉😀.
I think the little plastic pieces like the strongman you lay them on a flat surface, cover with paper, then use the side of a crayon to color over them and the raised areas will show up. Hope that makes sense! Great finds in your quarter bag!
I’m a thinking this video was filmed earlier in the year. I’m not that far from there (125 miles ) and you can better believe I’m not wearing a sweater today! 😃
The H.R. Pufnstuf ring was an early 1970s premium given away in boxes of Kellogg's Fruit loops & Sugar Pops. I have the Seymour ring, it was mixed in with box of vintage plastic charms and other small toys I inherited from a relative. In the same box, there was also a Banana Splits Fleegle plastic hand puppet and a metal Huckleberry Hound fan club ring.
I'm so happy you have that ring. Your happiness made me happy. I love it when you get so excited over the little things. It makes me happy to watch you.
John Adams is part of the Marx Presidents set. The early figures came unpainted the later ones were painted. The painted figures were made in Hong Kong and most bare plastic figures were US made. If I’m not mistaken, they made them from the mid 1950s until some time in the 1970s. They were sold as a set and individually. The last President to be added was LBJ. Cool finds! I watched HR Pufnstuf as reruns in the early 80s. I still love that show! 0 seconds ago
😆, love your video’s, love your excitement and your enthusiasm. I buy green uranium/ Vaseline glass items, so when I see you pass over, I’m like why didn’t you buy it, 😆. Always keep a small flashlight type black light with me, if it glows it is going home with me, some of the pieces go for good 💰. I also buy vintage Christmas, just recently picked up a 6’ aluminum Christmas tree, for $5, in the box. I feel for you going to some of these sales, I to suffer from anxiety’s, especially claustrophobia, I hate being in crowded places. Well keep up the videos, again we really enjoy them.
Hi Renee. I love it when your face lights upafter finding some cool things at a rummage sale. Oh, Renee, thank you for making my week. You have a kind heart. God Bless you my friend. Stay safe. Maria. 💁🖐️💁🖐️💁🖐️💁🖐️💁🖐️👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🎅🤶❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤💜💜💜💜💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💗💗💗
Those flat plastic things remind me of stencils that we used to trace around or we would put them under plain paper and use a pencil to run over them to make the object. Not really sure😂
I think the plastic flat shapes are for putting a piece of paper on top of them then rub with the side of a crayon or side of the point on a lead pencil and the picture will show up where the raised lines are on the figure itself! Like a rubbing!
I'm not an expert on men's vintage hats, but I believe that's a boater. They were common summer hats for men around the turn of the century. (Think of Bert in his picnic clothes in Mary Poppins.) The one you have is pretty small, it may be for a youth. I think it depends on quality, and the size may not help you, but in my area, even damaged ones sell much higher than I'd expect (like $40 and UP!) Great finds! Thanks for sharing them!
I was at that sale. I also saw the damaged nun. She was really cute! I got there about 11 because I was at a huge rummage sale in Jersey. I did find a few nice things though
Wow...a lot of stuff! The more I see of all your adventures...I'm tempted to leave this dead thrifting area I'm dealing with...visited two stores over the weekend...nothing! Estate sales are not up to par yet either. You, Taco, and Dee are my virtual thrifting partners...thanks to you all! I'm doing more "thrifting on ebay these days...have found some neat items to add to my collections! The hat looks cute on you! Your snow globe is a vintage one...I have a globe featuring Rudolph, with his red nose, a 1953 gift. Nice finds for you! True, I do love the smaller things...some of my frog figurines are mini sized and are really cute!
Your snow globe sounds so cute! I am fortunate to have decent rummage sales and estate sales, because without them, regular thrifting would be bad. I have to get back out to the Goodwill bins at some point too!
@@PaperandMoose I have a book on snow globes, their history and "current" ca 2000 value. I don't collect them...do I really need another collection???? The old classic glass globes with Bakelite bases have been replaced by the cheap plastic stuff from the "big C"!
I don’t like dealing with the crowds and anxiety of opening time at a sale. So now, instead of being one of the people rushing in at the start and competing for the first finds, I show up later, when there are no crowds and the prices are often reduced. Lots of time to leisurely look at everything and hunt out the treasures others left behind.
Never heard of H R Puff & Stuff? But growing up in rural Ontario, we only got 3 channels, most of the time, 2 lots of the time, 1 almost always & 4 occasionally. Dad sometimes listened to the hockey game on one, without the picture coming in. The hat reminds me a bit of Anne of Green Gables, but she had a different ribbon. Well, glad you found some treasure! 👍💍👍
Hello Renee. Oh my goodness. H R Puffin Stuff that was the best next to Scooby Doo. And Witchy Poo was funny. Those are great and The Banana Splits . Thanks for sharing and bringing back wonderful memories. And I’m with you on people getting to close it freaks me out more so now . I heard that there calling it COVID sin drum. Lol. As if we haven’t been through enough. Take care. 🫖☕️🫖☕️🕵🏼♀️🕵🏼♀️🕵🏼♀️🥰🥰💯💯💯
Hi I love your site. Today I had a pleated piece of material and you thought it had to do some thing with a bra believe that’s what she said. It’s a cumber bun. With something that we were at the waist to put our top and our skirt together. Not terribly important just thought you’d like to know. Men use them for Tuxes. Thanks so much for what you do. I try never to miss your videos.
How fun! That rabbit I love him even with his booboo. HR Puffinstuff boy brings back memories. You did well sometimes the smallest treasures are the best.
Love your excitement! I am so glad you got a hidden treasure. You are so lucky. I do have the Halloween pumpkin from Avon. I love the yellow and white whistle. I would love to purchase it! I hang them on my Xmas tree.
HR Puffinstuff was shown in New Zealand..And can sing the theme song...great tv.Did you have the Buggaloo's?Benita Bizarre.I liked The Banana Splits too.So much fun.
Hurray! A happy Renee! My grandmother and I used to walk along the avenue and hint for treasure- bottle caps, pretty rocks..a wayward barrette. My favorite part was dreaming their stories- where did ‘it’ come from? Who made it? Who held it last? The joy is in the value that we recognize and infuse- memory is strongest. So good to see you happy Renee! ☀️🌸 🐉 🎶 H.R. Pufnstuf~ Can't do a little 'cause he can't do enough🎶 😊
I think those plastic presidents were from the grocery store and there was one every week for free or very inexpensive. Then there was a styrofoam raised stand with steps and columns to display them on!
