- VINTAGE TO VICTORIAN FINDS | MARVELOUS MONROE STREET | ANTIQUE MALLS
Wonderful waterfalls, downtown delights and a few different antique and vintage districts make Spokane, Washington a fantastic destination for collectors and resellers alike! The North Monroe Street section of town has a cluster of antique malls and shops, architectural salvage and interiors shops that create a magnet for vintage lovers of all kinds.
We pause for a moment to take in Spokane’s Expo ’74 World’s Fair sights (and sites), including a work by native son and renowned sculptor Harold Balazs (a personal favorite of mine!). The fair’s legacy includes a beautiful island park, sophisticated performance halls and a clean, new environment that revived this Victorian city…and left us a lot of fun mid-century vintage to find today!
Up the road from the Fair site is the Monroe Street Antique District! Just beyond Tossed and Found (subject of our last video) is Marilyn’s on Monroe is a long-established shop with a fun name and a lot of vintage housewares and decor in a thoroughly packed presentation. We pick up a great buy before we even get in the door!
After studying their shelves, we find a new (to us) shop down the way called Rejuvenate. Their booths are a well displayed blend of vintage wares, repurposed and home goods. In one we find a signed Curtis Jere copper wall plaque at a price so low, the profit will pay for our whole trip!
Paint in My Hair? That’s the district’s nicely displayed interiors store called that mixes vintage, farmhouse and contemporary furnishings. This friendly and well displayed store is the type of place some vintage resellers avoid due to their decorator focus, but you can find some reseller gold in such places sometimes…and indeed, we do!
A few steps down the street is 1889 Salvage Co., which is more specifically focused on antiques and vintage. Right inside the door is an eye-popping modernist wall unit that makes me regret driving the little car instead of the van! A fabulous driftwood shade lamp and a lot more fun stuff makes this a great shopping stop, and we end up closing the place. Sadly, I discover too late a neat looking vintage farm and architectural store…we’ll just have to shop Spokane some more this Fall when the town’s Custer’s Antique Show resumes!
Here are some more things we discover during this trek to a new vintage shopping area:
Silver fade, bar glass sets, Harold Balazs sculpture, Underwood typewriter, paper ephemera, bar signs, DeForest cookie jar, Expo ’74 World’s Fair tray, Vito Sari pitcher, yield signs, tiki bar, wrought iron book stand, Grundig radio, field phone, Italian decanter set, s&p’s, Hudson’s Bay plate, Jarts, Viking Epic bird, Hull Puss-in-Boots planter, Jeanette Constellation bowl, SylvaC dog, McCoy Harmony console bowl, Roseville Zephyr Lily jardiniere, Haeger stork vase, ice cream parlor set, Snoopy figure, fab 50’s pink lamp, Israel brass cross, McCoy space capsule decanter, amusement park signs, copper fire extinguisher, chrome end table, Crosley hubcap, etc.

It's the sunset after the treasure adventure that did it for me! Just an excellent vintage shopping experience from beginning to end!
It was for me too! Sunset is my favorite time of day
Thanks for the fun trip to spokane
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for showing off Spokane! Love shopping with you!
You are so welcome! It's a great town and a fun antique destination
Love this episode, the tall lamps and large lampshades ahh memories. The phones, the handheld mouthpiece that never was long enough. The lighted beer advertising, reminds me of my dad. So many things too many to text, thank you George for trip down memory lane and history you have of Spokane
That's wonderful, Rose! I do like the tall lamps and those patterned shades. The handheld mouthpieces being one size fits all wasn't a great design! I'm glad you had fun watching with me
Great video George! Thanks for sharing!
That drift wood lamp is to die for!
Crazy love the color!
Absolutely stunning 😍
Another great video, George. And, of course, I love the scenic views. Thank you so much. 😍🏳️🌈
Thank you, I really am having fun showing people some of the beauty spots along the way as I wander!
Very nice shopping spree. And I really love the views of the gorge at the end!!!
Thank you! I had fun showing you some of the highlights
What a delightful and informative video! Thanks!
Thank you, it was for me too!
Absolutely Wonderful and so Informative George ! You are my absolute favorite for antiques and collectibles. You found some great deals to flip.
Thank you kindly, I'm so glad you found some fun in this like I did!
Thank you for showing the scenery.
I love going there and it's fun to show people!
Thanks for more fun!
You bet! It was for me too
Wonderfully enjoyable as usual.
George, as always, I enjoy your videos and appreciate you sharing your knowledge. Thanks so much
Thank you! I'm so pleased to get to do this for you
Lived in Spokane in 1974. Wonderful time
It must've been, Spokane changed so much for the better in that time and suddenly was an epicenter of design, culture and even politics! We moved briefly to Washington that year but not long enough to make the 5 hour drive
Love Love Love, your video content! So educational and entertaining 😀
Thanks so much! I'm so glad. Please tell your friends
Love watching c hing you. It is so good to get the correct information about why something is or isn't antique. I see so many neat things with you that I don't see in Missouri.
😃😃😃😃😃
Great information. You're like a walking encyclopedia...no wait....a walking Google🤪. Thanks for being funny & knowledable. I'm learning so much.
So nice of you! I'm glad, I want to share info so we all can enjoy this stuff even more
Loved all the great info.today
Great video George! Hope you’re keeping well. Love the scenic views of your adventures. Would love to see more. Take care darling xx

You're welcome! It's so fun to be able to present it this way
Great shops their and very valuable information thank you George!
I'm so glad you enjoyed this and thank you again for being so kind and generous with me!
Thanks for the video. I alway learn something from you. The area is beautiful! 🌻
It is a nice area that people who aren't near don't usually know exists
My ex husband had a new mustang he bought in the mid 70’s and he saved it! He passed away and our son inherited it. He also still has it and will pass it on to his kids.
It's great that it's staying in the family!
Love your videos George. I am learning a lot from you!
Awesome, thank you! I plan to keep putting them out Monday and Wednesday evenings
I’m old George pick me!!! MONTANA GIRL I missed when you came thru hahaha. But seriously would be honored to meet you. Thank you for sharing your knowledge ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️
Hi there! I hope to be back for the Custer's Antique Show this fall
Great shopping adventure!! You're knowledge is amazing and your tone informative not "teachy".
Well, thanks! I really enjoy this old stuff and it's fun to share the stories behind it.
what a great eye to spot the fake aging on the prints! great tips! Wow the views of the mountain and sunset , things i will probably never get to see on my own, George thank you .
I'm so glad I can take you to new places! I did think it important to point out to look for fake wear, a lot of reproductions are out there now
Really enjoyed the video George!! That lamp and shade combo made my jaw drop!
Thanks! That one was an eye popper
Enjoyed this video and the scenes,plus your knowledge
👍🏾
thanks george...im learning a lot from you!
I'm so glad! Thank you for commenting and let me know what you collect
Every time I listen to you I think of Saturday Night Live characters saying "I'm not worthy" - Your depth of knowledge blows me away, If you do or you ever want to guide people through your favorite cities and teach us how to buy in person - I'm signing up.
Aww, thanks, Ira! That's so nice to hear you say, I really want to share my info until you all know what I do. Meanwhile, I love the idea of doing antique town shopping tours
It sure would be fun if you could bring all the girls, Jeffrey and Michael out West! As always, I sincerely really enjoy your videos and appreciate all your knowledge!
I agree! If not, we'll have to do a West Coast meetup of people out there
Thanks for sharing, always love hearing your knowledge! Just wish I were shopping with you😊
I hope someday to lead a shopping tour in some great antique destination! Glad you're having fun with me
Love you, George! You thought of me ❤️. I didn’t start collecting it till I saw it in one of your estate sales...love it. Hopefully I’ll see you next time you are in town.
Cool! I sure hope to get to stay longer
George...missed you in Spokane. We're in North Idaho...just a hop,skip and jump from you. Try Sandpoint Idaho, great antique and thrift shops. Love ur stuff!!!!
Sandpoint is a beautiful town and I've found things there before! I hope to return to Spokane for the fall Custer's Antique Show
Been binge watching your videos and love them!!
Glad you like them! I'm excited you found me. Please like, subscribe and tell your friends!
Hi George! I had one of the early 70's Mustangs. It was a 1972. I traded it for a 1964 Impala. Loved the Kitchen Queen! That ice cream parlour set was nice. I've always liked those. I liked those duck decoys in the basement of "Paint In My Hair". That was a great price in the copper fire extinguisher. Lots of interesting items in those shops. Thanks for the take-along!!!
Hi there, Mark! I was actually surprised how few true antiques I found in the district this time, I think the older stuff has moved to nearby northern Idaho (more conservative/traditional there). I did like the decoys and the extinguisher, of course I enjoy all the vintage too but Spokane grew fast between 1890-1910, so I'm used to seeing more of it there. I loved all the early Mustangs, the 1972 is an overlooked and really nicely designed model in my opinion.
@@TheAntiqueNomad Yes, I noticed there weren't many true antiques there. It would be interesting to browse there, though. Do you ever come across any of the fish planters - the more realistic ones? Those seem to be getting more difficult to find of late. The duck decoys would go really well with that type of fish planter, in a "lodge-feel" room. The '72 Mustang was...OK. I found it wasn't nearly as well-made as the 1964 Impala, though.
That's a state that I haven't seen yet. I really need to visit Washington!! Wow is it Beautiful! Thank you for sharing...along with all the wonderful vintage!
Thank you! I recommend it, great state with beauty and interesting things everywhere. Come in July-Sept. for prime weather
Hi George, great & informative, as usual! Enjoyed traveling w/ you. I've been to Washington & it is beautiful. On our way, we went thru Oregon...sooo beautiful there!
I'm glad you got to see it! The Northwest is far from everyone else but it's amazingly beautiful
I really enjoyed the section where you were sharing ways to spot reproductions. As a newby that is so helpful. Thanks for always sharing your knowledge George.
Glad it was helpful! I intend to do more to help people identify things
Another thing you can do to avoid getting clipped is to carry a jewelers loop. Inspect the print from the front by looking at the image....vintage art doesn't have the little dots forming it up like seen on laser printing and looking at the back of it. If it has newer backing (brown craft paper) ...new brads (the little nails holding it together)...be suspicious of it. People go to great extremes including using tea to stain the backs of new prints to look like age.
@@mooonienelson2126 Wow!
Great info on the prints with the stains. I would not have thought to look and see if they were stained in the same place on several different ones. Also the red behind the lighter color on the signs. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day
I'm glad that was helpful! I learned the hard way.
You're Our Kitchen Queen ! We're Not Worthy !!!
I wish I could have gotten to that Curtis Jere' (I know who they are now!) before You, George, I really like that kind of art!!🤓
Thank you for shopping George. I appreciate that you are including repurposed / nicely chalk painted brown furnature. So many older brown pieces are sitting at goodwill or end up in the dump.
You are very welcome! I wanted to tell people that I"m not against repurposing as long as it's thoughtful
Arrrgh this week has been crazy. Missed you again. I was out picking up auction lots I won yesterday. I have really enjoyed the Spokane videos you even taught me some things I didn't know about this part of my state. As always you are so generous with your knowledge. Tomorrow I am getting up early and going to Dennis and Bobs sale. Stay safe and thank you!
Cool! I bet you find a lot of good stuff in all that paper, wish I was going with you!
@@TheAntiqueNomad Wish you were here to go too. I will send a pic your way if I find something outstanding.
I just found your channel and love your sooo informative descriptions. I hope to start selling soon. Thank you for all the info!
I'm so glad! I hope this helps you. I also have a new channel, The Antique Nomad Live
I loved that 'driftwood' lamp. That was fantastic! I was thrilled for you when you found that metal house thing for $30 that you'll sell for $300, good on you. I didn't catch what it was called though. I will have go back and get the name and do a little research.
It's signed C (Curtis) Jere. Wasn't that driftwood lamp fun? I was fortunate that day
Wow superb video with so many things to see n learn ....love the vintage cars ...here in Guwahati there are many ...as people collects .
Enjoy lucky guy
With Love from SAM

That's interesting! I Imagine you have some wonderful cars we don't see in our part of the world, I'll have to investigate since I'm a car lover. Best of all things to you
Oh man I'll take one of each. Love the orange
LOL yes
The space below the step table? That was for the PHONE BOOK, with the (rotary) telephone kept right above it (often with a LOCK on the dial to keep the kids from playing with the phone and costing you an entire week's wages!). There was NO direct dial for long distance in the old days, nor even satellites to connect your phone call. Only millionaires TRIED to make a long distance phone call, because the SOUND had to travel under the ocean by trans-Atlantic copper cable, and it took MINUTES for the Long Distance Operator to even TRY and connect you to someone across the country, not to mention overseas. And the cost would have been astronomical.
Yes, it was hard making calls outside the local area for a really long time! My mom kept our phone on the top of the tiered table because she was left-handed and couldn't easily grab it underneath
Please add the captions. They are very helpful.
Hi! I generally do unless it's a haul video where I"m talking about each item in depth
I see a lot of stuff I used to have.
Do you by any chance remember what they were asking for the cat wind chime? Thanks for taking us along!!
I think it was $30-35 somewhere
@@TheAntiqueNomad thank you very much. I know you are busy.
Try a little south. Lewiston and maybe pullman.
It's been a long time since I've been there! I found some good things in Lewiston
@@TheAntiqueNomad ya I left Pullman in 2005 but used to pick up nice stuff at the huge place in lewiston, think it was a old airplane hanger. Love your videos.
George have you ever been to Englebert Antiques in Salem , Oregon ? I think it would be a great place.
It is! I haven't been in ages. I am overdue for an Oregon trip
Thanks George that was great looking at all those stores. That view on the road, beautiful. Did you buy that radio for 30 dollars you didn't mention.l?
Thank you! The radio was in the pile to buy and at the last minute I discovered one band didn't work
I want to shop with you I’m in Indianapolis! 😀
That would be cool! Maybe we can do a shopping party one day
Hudson’s Bay isn’t so big here in Canada anymore.
So I hear, it's a shame really
@@TheAntiqueNomad yes it really is a shame. Instead we got Nordstrom’s! Too expensive!
Enjoyed the video. I keep thinking of Laura of LeftCoast Revivals. I emailed her about your firstSpokane video! So much MCM! She says she hopes to go this summer! She and Selina no longer have The Recycled Life.
Did you pick up the word "auspicious" from the I ching?
No, I was friends with our high school Valedictorian and she used it in front of me once! She probably did get it from the I ching
