Giraffe horns are not actually called horns, but ossicones which are boney projections of the skull covered with furred skin. Both female and male giraffe have ossicles.
My mother bought Desert Rose when I was a teenager in the late 60's or early 70's. She had a huge set, it came from Rich's Department Store in Atlanta if I remember correctly. Value went up and up and about 30 years later, she sold it all for really good money when down sizing. I am so glad you got these pieces.
I was thrilled that you got the entire lot of Desert Rose! I inherited my grandmother's service many years ago, and have added vintage pieces to the service for many years. It is very precious to me and makes for a lovely table!
My grandma too - I really am surprised that my grandmother ever got anything that was ‘popular’ or ‘cool’ way back when. She was a country girl from Georgia so it mean something to me that she had such pretty dishes.😍Back then you paid a quote a bit for quality dishes.🤑
Hey! Karen, thank you so much for the explanation on Franciscan's Desert Rose dishes. It is greatly appreciated! I have multiple stamps on my dishes. I purchased several pieces before I realized the difference. Thank you so much!!
The sign of a good Vlog is when you are disappointed when it ends! A total score on the Franciscan and am glad that you took a moment to ask if they would do better on the lot. Love your hustle! Thanks as always for letting us tag along!
I am a bit confused about self-checkouts at Goodwill. I thought having people work as cashiers/checkout was part of their core to assisting people with employment at their stores?
Goodwills CEO has 6 to 8 million bonuses, non profit gives bonuses 😂 Goodwill is a perfect example of charity scam. California goodwill‘s are more expensive then Marshall’s and TJmaxx.
Our local GWs (not the outlets) are happy for you to look and shop from just brought out merchandise carts. As a matter of fact, some employees know that if they bring the carts out and leave them for a while, there will be less merchandise for them to have to put on the shelves.
That blue bowl with the flowers on it that you said you didn't like the color way (sp?) on was a Talavera blue Cala Lily piece. They are very desirable and hard to find. That is something that you could sell on EBay quickly. I was talking to you telling you to buy it. Lol.
Always fun to watch you thrift, but I am even more appreciative of the knowledge you so generously share - be it of an item or your thought process. Thank you!
I was thinking the same thing!!! There are no Goodwills around me that look anything like that! Most are so unorganized & dirty. You can’t even pick something up without moving 5 other things & most of it is overpriced, broken junk!
I remember having the mold for that pheasant when I had my ceramics studio. I painted a series of numbered, limited edition ones, along with other game birds, to sell to taverns to raffle off. I sold them for $25 and they bars raffled them for $52, using a deck of cards.
Lucy used “ Desert Rose “ on her I Love Lucy show. I love it ! However, I have Franciscan Apple pattern myself. I grew up in Washington state, so I love the Apple pattern. All different back stamps too, since I thrifted all my pieces. Always on the look out for a piece. It’s fun to treasure hunt ! I know you know that ! Congratulations on your marriage to Rodger too ! What a sweet match you two make ! God Bless 😉🙏👍🤙
I got my first set for of Dessert Rose for 50 dollars at the thrift, it was place settings for 24 each place setting had 7 pieces. It took 5 totes to get it all home. Unfortunately it was the newest stamp made in china, I fell in love with Dessert Rose so I sold it all on Facebook marketplace by dividing it in to 3 sets of place settings of 8 . I sold each set for 200.00 then I used the 550.00 profit to buy myself the California stamped set I have now . I have place setting for 8 plus serving pieces tea pot coffee pot , serving bowls and platter, Salt and pepper and cookie jar also a couple of pitchers . I found several California pieces in antique stores and on Facebook , It took me a while to get the ones I wanted. I am always on the look out for unique pieces to add to my collection.
When my 93 year old husband was a boy, he and his friends used to go out behind the Syracuse china factory in Syracuse and throw the cull plates like Frisbees.
Hi Karen, so good to see your videos pop up on a regular basis! I was wondering if you"ve ever tried to loop your purse handles to the child fastener belt on the shopping carts for a little more protection from a posible fast grab; just a thought. :)
Thank you for all the hard work that goes into your video's. I really like when you explain the product that your looking at, it helps me understand what your looking at and your feelings about it.
It's nice to see the different prices at goodwill's across the country. The one I have access to in MN is insane. I look at newer things and see them priced higher than I could buy brand new. Hehe. I miss the days of .99-5.99 and once in a great while something extremely precious at 9.99. This happened after a new CEO took over. All of the board members are from Target, J. P. Morgan, US Bank...mark the prices higher so people don't have room to re-sell I guess is their thing.
Hi Karen, I know this is an older video but I wanted to let you know some info about the Duck Tray made in Taiwan. I recently watched a video of a gal who sells vintage and she went thrifting and found a mid century modern teak wood tray that was made in Taiwan and it’s actually worth $260. After I watched her video, I went to look at my thrift stash and found the same exact tray made by Dansk and I realized what a treasure I had that I paid $1.99 for at Goodwill! So the moral to my story lol is that a lot of mid century Modern teakwood came out of Taiwan. I just thought I would let you know that for future shopping. 😁 That Duck Tray was probably worth some money. I’m actually going to see if I can find one just for fun.
The mouse traps are still sold new. 🐀 I had my mother’s Franciscan Ware from the 1950’s. I added other pieces that I bought new in the 1980’s. I passed them onto a niece in 2002 when I found something that suited my style better.
The Franciscan Desert Rose has so much nostalgia for me. My grandmother had the desert rose, the apple, and the starburst dish sets & she would use them at different times. The starburst set was always used at holidays, the apple set was for every day, & the desert rose was for birthdays & other special occasions. I have so many memories as a child helping her in the kitchen & being told to never put any of the pieces in the dishwasher. They were all hand wash only. Sadly, as much as I wanted some of the sets when she passed, her children (the generation prior to mine) got first dibs & since my mother didn't want any, they all went to my aunt so they'll be passed down to my cousins, which I'm absolutely fine with, as long as it stays in the family:) Thank you for the nostalgia, Karen. xo
I know this is a year later, but giraffe antlers are called osecones,if I spelled it right. Love Franciscan wear. Always wanted the rose, but is too heavy now that I have arthritis. I have a complete set of Porsgrund, and again too heavy to enjoy.
Good china/dinnerware is sold by the piece or place setting. My dishes that I use (and have used for nearly 50 years) were purchased at different times from different stores over a period of several years. Sometimes I would get a place setting or serving or accessory piece for a birthday or Christmas present. Due to the fact that the same pattern was purchased over a period of several years, the company may well have changed the markings. I don't think it effects the value or that one marking would be worth more than another as long it is the same pattern and manufacturer.
Thanks for sharing. I do not like or use self check out but I agree, will be hard for them to keep people honest. Our thrift stores say people remove and switch stickers and all kinds of funny business. I’m sure it’s gotten worse as they’ve started charging more for everything
I bought Cornell dish set for Christmas. I heard they were very durable. Well I dropped a plate and it shattered into a hundred pieces. Some even went on the counter. My husband was standing in from of the food so he sheltered it but he had a spot of blood on his leg were one piece hit him. I was so surprised and not sure if I should contact the company for a replacement. My friend said they break like glass. I think my regular plates would break into 3 or 4 pieces. My sister has been buying that pattern you showed at garage sales. Now I have to be very careful with what I thought would be durable dishes.
You are in my neck of the woods. I make a weekly trip to this store. While the prices have gone up a bit there are still the color tag discounts as displayed on the monitor. I’ve found some really great buys here. Three pieces of All Clad plus the lids for $20.00 total. A gorgeous Chanel bag in brand new condition for $20.00 which I had authenticated. I will never top that one. A brand new complete Cutco utensil set for $12 and so much more. Did you also go to the Goodwill outlet and the LIberty Thrift store nearby?
@@shannon_w. This is in North Wales, PA. I’m pretty close so I go often. I Don’t always leave with something but it has been the source for some incredible finds. There is a Goodwill outlet about a mile from this store where I can usually always find some good things.
@@paulabodden8142 ohhh ok thank you. I am in South Jersey about 15 minutes west of Atlantic City. My closest Outlet store is in NJ about 10 minutes outside of Philly. I have never been there but I hear that the “regulars” run the place so I have been kinda put off by that. But I will go someday.
@@shannon_w. you should check it out! I’m not sure how regulars run the place. I think the key to any thrift store and great finds is being able to go often enough to catch some change in stock. But you could certainly find some great stuff with one visit. If you go there though definitely go to the goodwill bins and the Liberty Thrift store!
Love your video, I enjoy when you put up the comps because it put things in perspective. However, that clear glass crystal vase was not just pretty, it was gorgeous. Personally I would have bought it. I enjoy clear glass with a stunning pattern, when it has some heaviness even if it is not signed. I also loved the Franciscan Desert Rose dish set. I would have bought the lot for my personal use. I grew up as a child in an entirely pink kitchen the same pink as the roses. It made us always see "La vie en rose". Amazing purchase!
That XL vanity mirror tray IS everything! Can't wait to see how you do with it, will be checking intragram. I've never seen one that big! If anyone can flip it, you can! ~Lu
Hey Karen. Me again. 2nd Ave is one of my all time fav thrift chain. There are three 2nd Ave near me. I don't know if you realized this but every day there are always 2 colors on sale/discounted. One color is always 33% and the other is 50% off the ticketed price. When you walk in look at the TV monitors eventually a pic will come up letting you know the color discounts for the day. I write it on my hand. Plus for every so many dollars spent there is a 10% discount on your total spend. Also check and make sure that items are or are not being sold in sets. You can tell by looking on the tag. I am a reseller on Ebay and get so many deals at 2nd Ave.
As soon as I would have walked into that store: Crystal vase, "Yes, please." Two gorgeous cake stands, "Yes, please!" Random animals, "No." It's so funny to watch others response to the shelves. Things I would run to are ignored, for stuff I'd never buy, nor sell. But I watch! Lol Cake stands are so farmhouse/french country, and they sell well on Marketplace, here. Hard to ship, no doubt, though. I'm glad to see you get some rain. We are facing a drought, here in the midwest.
Mouse traps, not usually much value, but I had a few New/Old stock packs branded: Bigfoot, with the Sasquatch image on them. I listed them as novelty “Bigfoot“ trap gag gifts and they sold in a few days. Lot of Bigfoot fans in the Pacific Northwest.
Furnace Filter: make a file folder on your smart phone and take a photo of your filter (Size is usually printed on the edge), with your phone and you can carry such info with you for any and all such items you might come across for yourself, while thrifting. I do it for such things as trailer tires sizes, special light bulbs, etc. that way if I see what I can use, the info is with me.
I've used this system since I got my first Smart Phone. Good candidates are things you, your house, vehicles or garden equipment need routinely, such as Spark Plug/Filter info for your lawn mower, Fridge Ice Maker Filter, Water Filters, Furnace Filters, etc. It also works well as a place to keep photos of items like Electrical Panel Circuit Breakers, so you know the type your house uses. A lot of this type of item ends up at Garage Sales and Thrift Stores, still New in the box, at really discounted prices. I use the same folder for photos of items I need to pick up at the hardware, so I have a picture of the broken one with me and the file works as a reminder of what I need, so I'm not standing at the hardware, trying to remember why I walked in. So any time my wife, or I say: I need to find a "fill in the blank" I take a photo of it, or put it on the eBay watch list, to have it with me.
Williamsburg Pottery was at one time a small pottery that specialized in salt glazed reproductions of the sort you would expect to find in nearby Colonial Williamsburg. In form and color, the items strongly resemble antique or vintage salt glazed stoneware from around the world, particularly Germany. Some Williamsburg Pottery actually is vintage, as it started in 1938. The whole thing has been redeveloped into a tourist attraction in its own right. I have not visited, but it seems to generate some negative comments. Nonetheless, much of the pottery is handmade using the old-fashioned, wheel-thrown technique and usually features traditional designs. Some is valuable, some is not. I would not pay much per piece for these, but if you can get them cheaply they can be flipped. A tankard style mug recently sold for $35, while a set of 4 sold for $28.40. I guess it depends in part on what the seller's original asking price was, and the visibility of the store (if the algorithm likes you).
Giraffe horns are not actually called horns, but ossicones which are boney projections of the skull covered with furred skin. Both female and male giraffe have ossicles.
Strong suggestions: CLIP your purse straps w/ the belt on the buggy!! Less theft !! Nan from Florida
It depends on where you shop. Some areas don’t have much crime.
Yes!!!! Her purse is making me so nervous! I live in a tiny little rural Ohio town in the purse thefts have been crazy high this summer!!
Yes, you went around the corner and couldn't see your purse. People are getting more desperate. Thus, theft.
Cross over carry bags….the only way to go. Never leaves your body and your hands are free.
My daughter inherited a desert rose set from the 50's from hubby's grandmother. We bought her the cookie jar to go with the set around 2001.
Clear glass vase w air bubble , that was Krosno Poland glass.🌺
I just sold two of the ginger jars that I found at Goodwill for 3.99 ea. sold them for 199.99 ea. Great find Karen

Holy cow this place is thrift store heaven I've never seen such a big thrift store before in my life!
Wow!! That tea rose Pfaltzgraff dinnerware. I'm suprised that you passed those without a mention.
I would check Simon Pearce Glass in that “bubble” vase….. it’s beautiful!
Franciscan Desert Rose. So pretty!
The sign of a good Vlog is when you are disappointed when it ends! A total score on the Franciscan and am glad that you took a moment to ask if they would do better on the lot. Love your hustle! Thanks as always for letting us tag along!

That's the cleanest thrift store I've ever seen!
And, yes. Giraffes have horns.
Yay! You bargained with them! I always say they can’t shoot you for asking! Good job sis!😎👍

We should get a discount to check ourselves out.
This store isn’t a Goodwill.
@@paulabodden8142 My apologies... it now makes sense as to why there are self-checkouts.
The Penn State pottery piece is made by Grandville Hollow Pottery. Artist’s name is Mark Essig. The studio is just down the road from me!
Thanks so much Kristine!! 😘😘
I love Desert Rose. I pick it up for myself. I rarely find an accessory piece but just found a vase

YES I was screaming don’t put that bank it’s SO BEAUTIFUL.
Remember, beauty is in the eye of the beholder but that color way was stunning 🤩
It had chips 🫣

Buy vase that sparkly one for nice flowers to put in your house lol
I always ask for the store manager and offer to purchase the entire set of dishes for a particular price. I have never been turned down.
I know this is a year later, but giraffe antlers are called osecones,if I spelled it right. Love Franciscan wear. Always wanted the rose, but is too heavy now that I have arthritis. I have a complete set of Porsgrund, and again too heavy to enjoy.
2 years ago I sold my house and gave 8 place settings ND accessories to a friend
I gave away 8 place settings of desert Rose to a friend,,While beautiful there is also a European version from Italy which are very hard to find.
Self checkout takes jobs away from people. I know it's the way of the future, but it makes me sad. Love your videos. Thanks for sharing. Julie Buttons
It’s not easy to use either my thrift also is self🥺
The clear glass vase with the bubble in the bottom is Krosno.
Dog bank so cute
Williamsburg pottery yes
self check is always a deterrent for me I prefer a person I can talk to and reason with a human
I recently got a whole set of pristine Franciscan ware from GW that I’m keeping. Floral pattern, probably 10 pieces for abt $150!!
Ossicones - from my giraffe obsessed 3y old lol who immediately said “I want that”
Good china/dinnerware is sold by the piece or place setting.

I just found one near me. So it sounds like it’s worth it to shop there?

Grab those rose cereal bowls!!! Usually very desirable.
Great finds 🇬🇧
Mouse traps, not usually much value, but I had a few New/Old stock packs branded: Bigfoot, with the Sasquatch image on them. I listed them as novelty “Bigfoot“ trap gag gifts and they sold in a few days. Lot of Bigfoot fans in the Pacific Northwest.
I think I saw a Sakroots with tags at 14:24.
Hi Karen you picked some good items sending lv Ann uk ❤️❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Girl! I’ve been out getting what’s mine in Kentucky.
Furnace Filter: make a file folder on your smart phone and take a photo of your filter (Size is usually printed on the edge), with your phone and you can carry such info with you for any and all such items you might come across for yourself, while thrifting. I do it for such things as trailer tires sizes, special light bulbs, etc. that way if I see what I can use, the info is with me.
I've used this system since I got my first Smart Phone. Good candidates are things you, your house, vehicles or garden equipment need routinely, such as Spark Plug/Filter info for your lawn mower, Fridge Ice Maker Filter, Water Filters, Furnace Filters, etc. It also works well as a place to keep photos of items like Electrical Panel Circuit Breakers, so you know the type your house uses. A lot of this type of item ends up at Garage Sales and Thrift Stores, still New in the box, at really discounted prices.
I use the same folder for photos of items I need to pick up at the hardware, so I have a picture of the broken one with me and the file works as a reminder of what I need, so I'm not standing at the hardware, trying to remember why I walked in. So any time my wife, or I say: I need to find a "fill in the blank" I take a photo of it, or put it on the eBay watch list, to have it with me.
Gibson! Put that down! Lol
Williamsburg Pottery was at one time a small pottery that specialized in salt glazed reproductions of the sort you would expect to find in nearby Colonial Williamsburg. In form and color, the items strongly resemble antique or vintage salt glazed stoneware from around the world, particularly Germany. Some Williamsburg Pottery actually is vintage, as it started in 1938. The whole thing has been redeveloped into a tourist attraction in its own right. I have not visited, but it seems to generate some negative comments. Nonetheless, much of the pottery is handmade using the old-fashioned, wheel-thrown technique and usually features traditional designs. Some is valuable, some is not. I would not pay much per piece for these, but if you can get them cheaply they can be flipped. A tankard style mug recently sold for $35, while a set of 4 sold for $28.40. I guess it depends in part on what the seller's original asking price was, and the visibility of the store (if the algorithm likes you).
And up goes the price,
In Sweden we use mouse traps like that all the time 😂
I looked it up, giraffs antlers are called "Ossecones" .. I know right?
Check out precious moments there are a lot of them that are worth a lot of money
I sometimes buy the one with animals, they can be so cute 🥰
Yes!
Those little tufts on giraffe heads are ossicones. Although a lot of people call them horns, they aren't really horns!
It’s so insane! They get inventory FREE, donated to “help people gain employment,” GW HAS BECOME a sham.
