Years ago when my daughter was 10 we talked her into wearing her great grandmother’s hat to the Christmas Eve service. It was darling with her velvet dress. After that she decided to collect vintage hats when we went to antique shops. She collected about 30 hats, all in perfect condition. I even bought her a few metal hat forms to put them on. They were even worn by the girls that attended my youngest daughter’s tea party and in school plays. I’m sure we still have a few in hat boxes in the closet. My daughter had fun shopping for them. Definitely special memories with my girls.
My husband and I h have been watching you for about 3 years now. We love Roger and love it most when he is also in the videos! We are 71 and 75. (We celebrate our 54th Anniversary 8-22)! If it weren't for our age and the fact that all our kids are here in the Kansas City Metro Area, we would love to move to your area! The thrift stores here are not good at all. You are definitely one of our very favorite You Tubers! Thank you for great videos and tips!
Congratulations early!! My Goodwills are not as good as these PA goodwills, either. I do find lots of treasures at estate sales and garage sales though. The key is to preview the sales on the internet. Companies include nice photos.
@@missbarbarajean I think most of us consider moving to Pennsylvania when we see Karen with two or three full carts in one trip. Happy Anniversary early.
Oh, that little Singer machine. I got one like it for Christmas one year when I was 6 or 7 (I'm now 75). I actually did sew doll clothes on it. Love it!
Roger is extremely knowledgeable!! What a great catch Karen!! If he fixes things also, you hit the jackpot ( of course he's extremely lucky to find you also) 🎉
Hi Karen, I sold three hats to a hat collector and make a friend. After I dropped off the hats she invited me to lunch and we now do lunch together regularly!
Vintage glitter IS a thing. The really old stuff is actually glass. Wendy Addison is an artist and has the most fantastic store in California called Théâtre of Dreams where she sells artwork made from and or inspired by vintage paper goods. It is absolutely magical!
I always buy the vintage crafting supplies I find. Do I sell them? Mostly no, because I haven’t stopped loving the display I’ve made. But one day I will.
Hi from Bristol UK - my granny gave that very sewing machine (I got very little from her) - it does work as a sewing machine- I also have the original box and table clamp.
OMGEE Karen! I can't believe you found that ANTIQUE SINGER MINIATURE SEWING MACHINE! I would never think you could come across those "in the wild" and at Goodwill. Good for you!
That vintage glitter/tinsel container would look amazing in a vintage Christmas display with something Christmas-y and vintage sitting (or glued) on top of it!
Hi Karen, You are so funny & had me laughing. Your comment about Roger cooking on the Coleman stove with the helmet on was hilarious. 😂 Also, the lure comment about it being big enough to catch a shark or Jaws was so funny. Thank you for sharing your thrifting videos!!! My family and I love them!!! 💖 God bless you both!!!
I get so jealous of all the wonderful thrift stores you have close to home. I watched every minute of this video and have made some notations: @2:12 love the spells and potions! @4:17 did you miss a framed embroidered piece? @5:26 you missed a tall vase on its side by the wooden lighthouse. @13:13 you missed a mantle clock with snow on a Victorian house in a styrofoam box. I LOVE BUTTERED POPCORN JELLY BELLIES TOO! @14:32 SCORE on the Stangal Bucket! @ 15:47 Love the green Lily Pad Plate @16:07 love the egg plate @18:13, I would have picked up the mouse and cheese plate. @18:50 SCORE on the knives! @22:30, you missed a stainless steel cocktail shaker. @23:55 LOVE THE CATS!! @24:40 Nice Stove Roger! Minnow Trap, Skateboards, Camera etc. SCORE! @31:20 there were gnomes on the top shelf. @32:05 love the bottles! @32:45 Sewing machine was my absolute favorite item you snagged! @34:43 My husband has 20 of these blow torches in his collection. @35:14 nice duck picture, but you missed the gorgeous ski boots! @43:24 I would have gotten the Superman Print. @44:09 would have grabbed the C. Rambo vase. @46:26 I would have grabbed all of the hats! Vintage costumers would have eaten these up, regardless of the few nicks. You and Roger are the perfect pair because you both have your own genres/niches that you love to sell! It's fun hanging out with you two! I can only see things from the comfort of my "Lazy Girl" recliner. You are there in person! Can't wait till your next episode!
Great find with the knives. They sell for many hundreds of dollars. The can can cats are so cute. Looks like Roger is going skate boarding and then off to camp for the weekend. 😉
Hi from Yorkshire UK 👋🏻 The marble in the Castleford ‘pop’ bottle was the stopper that you pushed in to get to the fizzy drink. Castleford is in West Yorkshire and is pronounced Castlefurred in case you come across it again. ❤
Karen i really enjoy your videos and have been watching for several years😊. I am also a customer. Hard goods and clothes. You use to do clothing haul in your home. I miss those. Please do them again too. Thanks.
Loved the nice, long, all thrifting video. Thank you Karen and Roger! ❤ * there are a few pieces of vintage York Pfaltzgraff pottery that can go for pretty good money. Like over $100. However, you really do have to research your particular item for sure because some of them don’t bring a lot. 😊
What about an el cheapo belt off the rack to belt them together? Or ask the manager to borrow one of there rolling racks? What are they gonna say, no? You’ll never know until you ask?
Thanks for your time and video. Great assortment of items . Perhaps look into putting the fancy lamp on ' chairish. It sells high end , decorator items
I have been watching you forever and just adore how Roger is so comfortable in front of the camera now. Out of curiosity when yall are both shopping together, like in this video, do yall swap items around if you think one persons ebay store will do better with the item and vice versa? I know you give Roger games etc but for instance the camping stove did you give it to him because you thought he would get more for it OR because you didnt want the hassle of shipping it? Just curious. Everyone like this comment so Karen will see it and respond please.
Karen, as usual a n informative and interesting video. Thank you! I especially liked hearing you discuss lamps and how you decide which ones to pick up and why.
Great video!!! Very thankful Roger was able to get the helmet off his head!!! The Italian devil egg platter, epic, u will do well with that!!! The sewing machine could be for a child. We had a miniature Singer child's sewing machine, had crank, that worked when I was young. Wonderful finds you two!!! Your killing it!!! Best thrifting couple ever!!💞💞🙃💞💞
That singer sewing machine is so cool. Have any of you been to the singer family castle in Alexandria Bay N.Y it sits on one of the thousand island on the ST.Lawrence river. You take a beautiful boat tour from Alexandria Bay it’s about 2/12 hour trip the boat also stops at Boldt castle (beautiful story on George Boldt who was having it made for his wife who passed away when he was having it built.) Anyways back to the signer castle lol. You can tour the two castles the singer castle has a lot of its a original furnishings. Just the Boat tour is amazing. ❤❤❤
My, what fun it was to see the true vintage ladies by day, then walked 1 block down the street to her home which was dubbed , "THE YOUNG HOTEL". It was a B &B long before that was even in ogue.
Those hats are from mid-1970s. This was also the era when women were really going to work and making some progress. Designers were putting out suits for women. Trouser suits with vests and flared pants, blazers and a-line skirts with bow-neck blouses. There was a brief resurgence of formal hats that came with the "office manager look", especially back East, not so much out West where you only wear a hat if you absolutely need to. And yes, it was a bit modeled on 30s styles. Later, along with shoulder pads, there were some of those late 40s pill boxes worn off kilter and forward and with a bit net veil over the face. Later on, remember Annie Hall? The slouchy mensware look had some hats but mostly variations of men's styles, fedoras, boaters, bowlers and pork pies. This coincided with the Second British invasion of music, also called "New Wave", where hats were a big identification statement. Anything to set a young modster apart from the usual teen pop fan or metalhead rockers with tight pants and big hair.
Remember when we all said a 5 hour video would be fantastic! I am so glad that "at least" they are getting longer =) You have to make up for Roger not having his own channel! =) I would never complain about a long video! The two of you crack me up! =) Will you be doing your Q & A with Melissa? its been awhile =) Hi Melissa =)
Wow, Karen, those knives were an amazing find! As far as Rae Dunn goes, the original Rae Dunn (the more valuable pieces) just say Rae Dunn on them. These were the original handmade pieces. In 2003 Magenta came into the picture & started manufacturing all of the Rae Dunn, so it became mass produced & the values went down. You definitely want to look for the original Rae Dunn pieces. My sister is a big collector of the original pieces 😊
