You probably should always take a couple of blankets just in case you get something that you don't want broke like the mirror or you could have turned it over to protect it a little more.
Was able to watch with my kids and g kids today. Truly a sign of Gods sovereignty. The work of the master's hand. Cant wait to see what heaven looks like. It was so amazing to see that and Venus was in plain view as well only we didnt know what it was till later on a news show. Just an awesome day.
I have one of the coiled candles with no candle in it so i'm going to put a ball of twine on it with a pair of scissors and the twine coming out where the top of the candle did. I think it will sell.
Lots of goodies to get creative with. I'm thinking the set of black urn-looking containers were for a topiary set. If not, they could certainly be used for that purpose. : )
Fantastic finds! I know some people say “we don’t have such good stuff at our stores” but I think it takes at least two things, dedication and knowledge! Knowing both the area (community) and the thrift store timing (when to get there and shelf placement, also (when they bring out new items) ITS AN ART! Blessed and safe days!
If you come back to the UK it may be worth you're while heading up to the potteries in Stoke on Trent. It's where the pottery factories are, most have shops that sell at a discount. Spode has a lovely charity shop attached to a little museum full of old Spode.
WOW! That mirror was $15. Awesome. Here in CA it would be so much more. So sad you wouldn't ship it. Understandable though. Too much trouble and big chance of damages during shipping. Sure is beautiful though.
at 1:55, the "point marks" are from the kiln stilt. the stilts are nails held in a bar or triangle of plaster. you pick the right size for the ceramic piece to balance on. it lifts the bottom of the piece off the kiln floor or shelf so that the molten glaze only sticks to the nail point and does not fuse to the kiln surface. after firing you pull the stilt off and the nail marks remain. they can be filed smooth with a wood rasp
Great stuff as always ❤ ! Nostalgic about jack-in-the-box , my husband & brother lived on those tacos when we starting dating. I love those old metal hinged frames .I have a small one that holds 3 pictures. Loved the cloche , the white revolving caddy is a great find ,the white bean pot, teapot , etc. Thanks xox
It was a fun day outside with friends and neighbors in NJ watching a partial eclipse. Love your finds today, especially the large mirror. Yesterday I had a neighbor move out who left behind two beautiful chairs that I'm going to flip for a profit. 100% profit is always great!
I can confirm that the first Afghan you picked up, blue with variegated yarn, could easily date back to the late 70s. I recognize the variegated yarn. My college roommates and I made an Afghan with it. I also worked at the dime store that sold that yarn and was in charge of ordering the yarns. It is a Red Heart yarn. Have no idea how many years it was in production. In today's market yarns can be around 4-6 years.
Love your intro music! And Zeb's clocks are always interesting. I expected your hauls would be a bit smaller and more focused in 2024, but you are hauling in a lot!! Hope you're having fun. Leave some RD books for the rest of us. LOL I was given one for my 8th birthday by an old man who lived by us, because he knew I loved to read. I believe I still have it, 70 years later. It has a pink cover. :) Your little glass candle cups might be punch cups (minus their punch bowl) or the teacups from a 1950s/60s snack set. The cut glass-looking ones will make beautiful candles.
Oh my! I loved ALL your treasures you got today. So many favorites. I can't choose just one. The prices in your area are awesome. $1 here, $2 there, 75cents, WOW. Here in CA they're outrageous. Goodwill here is way too expensive and not a lot to choose from. 😢 So sad. Look forward to you Saturday night haul.
That is what I thought too, that those 2 big black pots with the little holes in was from a fountain. Zeb said a tree, he has trees on the brain I think😆
I'm at northwestern Pa. We were able to experience the ec!Jose in spite of some cloudiness. We viewed at home. Then we went to town and ran into massive traffic!. Crazy! People going home from viewing.
I love the little cabinet with the lighthouse beach scenes. It would be great as a small medicine cabinet in a beach themed bathroom. I’d paint up the outside for a weathered beach cottage look and put an old looking lock on it to keep grandma’s meds safe. Love the big mirror and clocks too
I only have those vintage gold frames. They have so many cool combos of those like double and triple framed sets. Chunky frames competes with the pictures I feel.
We’re excited! Lehi is ready. Even with Saratoga just being built, our kids can get into do baptisms for months it’s going to be so nice to have one more temple.
I remember driving through Utah when traveling across the US from NY and thought it was such a beautiful state. The mountains are breathtaking. Goodness, that was about 40 years ago. Seems like it was a different lifetime. I do enjoy driving along with you even if it's only to get to the thrift shops. Do you ever get tired of shopping??? It does end up being a lot of work, although the 'hunt' is always fun. And I'm always envious of some of the stuff you snatch up for cheap. Work keeps me too busy to shop regularly, plus I tend to spend too much when I already have too much. You got some really nice things, hope they bring you a nice profit. PS We were in line in upstate NY for the FULL eclipse, but it was so cloudy in my area that it was a complete bust. I was so upset that all we experienced was the blackout for a few minutes. It's ALWAYS dark and dreary until late spring, our dark cold days last forever.
I never get tired of shopping. But the processing sometimes is not my favorite. When I have to list it all I get myself a treat and put on a fun show. Then it’s not too bad.
Everything goes online even furniture there’s just some things that are so big that it would be cross prohibited for somebody to want to pay shipping like that mirror would probably cost four or $500 to ship because I’d have to use a courier service
That big divided tray would be AWESOME to house IOD moulds or Milk Paint!!!! Now I need to get into my wood shop! Jack’s Tacos….. 😂 my hubby LOVES them! Prides himself on teaching our son how to eat them in 1 bite 🙄🤦🏼♀️
Where is your Discovery? I think you had more room in it than the Volvo! You have really great thrift stores out there in Utah! Our local ones in my area are just junk and highly priced.
We had a Land Rover Defender but we traded it in for the Volvo. Its electric and also gas and we save about 3 tanks of gas a month. We still have Zebs one ton truck if we need big stuff hauled
I need to find the video where you did the mirror. I have an identical mirror to the one you found only it is a wood frame. I want to create the ‘look’.
😢please dont paint that black clock on a pedestal. I had one like it. It fell and broke and i miss it and havn't found one like that anywhere. Put a branch in those vases then hot glue leafs on the branch.
You eat all the Jack in the Box tacos you want. If you don't eat them every day it's not that bad. I love them and my family thinks they are disgusting. 😊
We only got a “corner” of the eclipse. But it mattered not because it was raining the entire time. @JamiRayVintage it’s not putting me under the “membership” section. Do you know why?
Oh shoot, Leslie! We got 50% in So Cal..I'm sorry that rain happened to you! It was pretty amazing to watch. You & I were invited to Ohio to Kai's to watch with her! I said we'd meet her in her front yard😂 Wonder how she did!
