    Cool tv treasure! Trash can candy. They were sweet tarts I think, in different shapes of trash. My favorite from the 80’s were the garbage pail kids!

    I only ever iron fabric for making minis. I use a hair straightener bc I dont own an iron lol
    Never toss any minis unless they're dangerous (sharp, broken etc). I've kept dangerous minis and reused them myself. Others I've sold as-is in lots.
    Congrats on your treasure! I can't wait until you find the table!

      only the bed was tossed, it was broken and smelled. Everything else was salvaged and placed on eBay as-is for someone to do what they can with them!
      Me too! very happy about that treasure and now looking forward to finding the piece that goes with it!

    52:32 The width of that bed is known as ¾ width. Back on the 1920s that was a popular bed size. Of course that was before they had anything larger than a full size (double) bed. The sizes available then were junior (smaller than a twin), single (twin), ¾, and full (double). This was before youth, queen, king or west coast (California) king sized beds were a thing. My grandparents still had a junior bed when I was little (in the early 60s). My little sister slept on it until they got us matching twin beds in '66.

      @@WhitneyLaBrie A great source for period information is old Sears & Roebuck and Montgomery Ward catalogues. You can often find reproductions of these old catalogues in the library. That's actually where I got my information from originally, then confirmed it by asking my grandparents who were born in 1914. Unfortunately, almost all of the old guard are gone now, but the written information is still available.😉

      @@juliebaker6969 you know what, I have oneof those! OMG! Why did I not think to reference that. It was my grandmas, she showed it to me when I was little becuase there was a rocking chair inside that cost $3.95! She wanted that so bad but it was too expensive for her mom to buy it for her when she was little. For some reason that really impacted me becuase it was the first time I thought of my grandma being little like me, and that she valued something so simple like a rocking chair. Anyway, she gave me that catalogue and I still have it.

    Interesting haul- I do like Strombecker but so much of it is smaller than 1:12. I do have 2 old chairs and they are 1:10- I'd rather take larger than 1:12 like those, rather than smaller.

    • @WhitneyLaBrie
      @WhitneyLaBrie  6 місяців тому

      I like Strombecker too, so well made and they did a great job of making good furniture for kids to actually play with. Yeah I agree about the scale, I've used some of it for 1:12 children's furniture because the scale is often small.

    Garbage can candy!!! 😂😂 It was shaped like fish skeletons, I think an old sneaker was in there, a rat, smashed tin can, and I can't remember what else was included. Aahhh...memories🥰The yellow and red items you were unsure of their name, are marker buoys. They're used to mark shallow areas, deeper channels, and generally any other water related potential hazard. I chuckled to myself when you sniffed and then accurately identified the odors emanating from some of the items! I chuckled because I do the same thing! LOL 😂😂 I imagine so many of us have that super power 😂😂! No no no! Don't pitch it 🥺 The hole can be repaired very easily and it's super cute!!Congratulations finding your treasures mini!! ❤

      lol! I was so bummed with the smoke smell. It's funny cause in my teens and early twenties, I smoked (tell no one!). Ever since I quit, it's like I am oddly sensitive to the smell. Yes, I salvaged all the items with issues except the pink bed frame, it was just too damaged, and the wood was balsa, it smelled and I have plenty of wood scraps.
      I was so happy about the tv! Oh how I have wanted that forever it feels like!

      there is something special about those pieces, maybe because they were really the first realistic furniture that had this "on trend" fashionable style for the time. Prior to that you were really limited to traditional and victorian type furntiture. Then came Petite Princess with these modern curves and bright fashion fabircs and colors and oh sweet it is! $15 is a score and as a "mini hoarder" I am quite proud of you! lol

    You might try cleaning the smokey items best you can and then put them in a large plastic tote that can accommodate them along with a small wide mouth container filled with real (not imitation) vanilla. Back in the day before low odor house paint we used to put the vanilla into glass pie plates and close the door to the freshly painted room. The vanilla would absorb and nutralize the paint fumes. Not sure if it would work for cigarette odor but I think it might be worth trying.
