Floral designer here 🙋♀️ Girl, you gotta take the leaves off the bottom of those flower stems! Any leaves that will end up inside the vase touching water go rancid quickly. Detritis will turn the water and cause the rest of your flowers die more quickly. Just a tip to keep your blooms lasting longer, and your water from getting smelly! - Ellen
Thank you for the tip! I have always wondered why my flower water starts smelling so rancid! Now I know, thanks!!
The jewelry is always my first attraction. Turquoise. Turquoise. Turquoise! Really enjoy your channel.
You can use a floral putty (green) to help hold your flower frog to the container you are using. It's waterproof and you need just a little bit. It adds extra security that your flower won't knock the vase over.
I immediately thought "bird"... it looks like a dove! LOVE the sand cast ring!
Floral Clay is a knead-to-soften, gummy, reversible sticking agent; works great for adhering floral frogs and is absolutely removable,. It holds just fine for as long as you want it to, but it is not a permanent bond or glue that will devalue the vase/arranging dish or mess up a flower frog. Super fun shopping trip! Thanks for taking us along XO
I remember using the floral clay and frogs when I was a kid. I couldn’t remember what it was called though.
Doesn’t matter to me what you purchase,how much, etc…I simply enjoy “the hunt,” learning about these beautiful mid-century pieces - what to look for, pay attention to, markings…🤷🏽♀️🥰you’ve made me rethink my whole home aesthetic!
Your "turquoise" bracelet with the large oval stone is chrysacolla, also called Parrot's Wing. It's a beautiful stone, usually a combination of several different minerals - turquoise, malachite, jasper, azurite. I designed a quilt around a piece I bought at the yearly gem and mineral show a few years back.
Chrysacolla is a favorite stone of mine! I thought the same thing, but IDK much about the different kinds of turquoise.
I love that you give us addresses for the shops especially for those of us love in Oregon. I agree with you about metal frogs and I pick them up whenever I find them especially at prices you found. I also use them in groupings to hold small cards on my bookshelves.
Michelle is a very lucky lady to have you as a friend. Laura,you are a wonderful and beautiful person, inside and out. And you have an impeccable taste! I always look forward to watching your videos ! God bless you and your family always!
Looks like you and Michelle had a wonderful day. I wish I got a better look at that gold dress Michelle bought - it looked stunning. You got so many beautiful things, but that teeny, tiny flower frog was so perfect!
The sterling silver cuff with the large turquoise stone was magnificent
Your shows just keep getting better & better!!
The hat looks so great on you
All your hats are cool. Love what you do. Wish you put out daily videos
Wonderful antique stores! I could spend hours and hours perusing in them! Thanks for taking us along.
The little glasses are Swanky Swigs! They are from the 1930’s through the 1950’s. Kraft made processed cheese and used these for the packaging.
I absolutely loved the sandcastle polar bear sterling ring. Gorgeous!
the hat is adorable! and jealous thifting with a friend - love that you shows us what you got at the restaurants!
You have the gift of discerning, what goes well together. Love your choices of items. Look forward to your video’s 🥰
I was always wondering what the weighted spiky things were when I would see them at estate sales. Now I know thanks to you. They give the flower arrangement a really cool look in some great pottery. Thanks for sharing this Laura.
Thanks for sharing ,Laura. You make me look at vintage in a new way.
I just discovered Ikebana last month at a garage sale. Someone had this weird looking abstract vase with four spouts on it for $1.00. No markings or signatures on it - just remnants of a sticker on the bottom. Something told me to grab it even though I didn't know if it was old or modern. For just a buck, I had nothing to lose. Well, I ended up selling it on Etsy for $125 within two hours of listing it!!! Like you said, you learn something new every day!
Thats wonderful! Congrats on such a great find 🙌
@@leftcoastrevivals Thank you, Laura. After it sold so quickly I did more research on it and I probably could have sold it for more than the $125 but, hey...live and learn, right? On another note, I'm just watching you show your new silver and turquoise jewelry. Would you mind, in a future video, telling your viewers how to tell real turquoise from fake? Sometimes I see stones that are polished smooth (like on that big bracelet) and I always wonder, "Is that real turquoise?"
Thanks for putting out such great content, Laura! I very much look forward to your videos. I live in Salem and am in the thrift stores a lot. I hope I get the pleasure of bumping into you sometime. I can tell that you're a very sweet and friendly human being!
@@ryders_mom I asked her to do a video on turquoise once too. I hope she does!
Would have loved to see Michele's dress. The fabric looks gorgeous and the color is lovely too.
She’s going to do some hemming to it so maybe I can get a peek at it when it’s done to show how it turned out 😄
@@leftcoastrevivals Thank you. From the quick glance I got, the fabric looked stunning,
Loving all your beautiful "Eye Candy" you found in your silver/turquoise jewelry finds! You Rock as always!
That was fun! The pottery and flowers look stunning! Love the Amethyst Cross, gorgeous piece. 💚✌️🍀
I agree, that amethyst cross was designed perfectly!
I love how you type out the names of the places and addresses. I go back in the video to take screen shots of ones I want, to save for my future visits. I live in central California so trips up would be fairly easy. Thank you for that!
I loved the wood and brass lamp. Gorgeous
I look forward to your shop visits, I learn so much. I mainly love your enthusiasm when you find the "it" thing. That unusual green pot that didn't have a signature was a favorite. The texture on the green pot just did it for me. Maybe you could show Michelle in her gold dress in your next video!
Keep doing you!💗
It sure was a neat pot!
Stunning jewelry! Yes, I can see the bird:)
Hi Laura, great finds. Yes, was thinking that the sterling silver pendant looked like a dove. 🕊🕊🕊
My absolute favorite thing was the cobalt blue and wood lamp!! There were some awesome lamps in the mid-century antique store I instantly fell in love with- the ENTIRE store actually! lol! Thanks again for sharing! (Love your nail color btw!!!❤❤❤😊)
Thanks for joining us Michelle.... I love it when we get to hang out with both of you
P.s. Laura remember to check your Messenger on FB.... I left you a message
After watching ur flower arranging, I want to find some "frogs" n give it a go! Never ever thought of even attempting it, but thanks to u...i think i can, i think i can, i know i can, i can!!!!
That lamp with blue glass……❤️
I can’t stop thinking about it 💙💙💙
This was so much fun! Thanks for taking us along. So many geeat things, 11:32 & 15:45 were two of my faves. Thanks for the bonus Japanese flower arranging at the end, I'm inspired!🌺🌹🥀
💓💓💓 this episode! Loved all the stores! Agree with you about shopping in antique stores to learn about vintage. Hope you're staying cool. Be well.
You never cease to amaze me. You have such an inspirational spirit. Keep up the good work and I’m sure you will be rewarded.
That beautiful piece of jewelry with the purple stone looks very Scottish to me, it’s absolutely gorgeous!
Love the turquoise! And the baby frog‼️🌻
Laura, loved seeing those fabulous mid century lamps with those incredible shades, and the Heywood Wakefield furniture. Also the shot of those gorgeous poppies was a delight, as was the furiously typing kitty 😻😆 Your videos are always so professional and full of treasures! 👍🌟🐈🌻
Love the light fixture with the blue glass. It's stunning. I'm on a business trip today but took a minute to stop by a thrift shop. I got a 70s era green wavy glass bowl (mass produced but still really cool) for 50 cents!
Oh, man... I wanna go to Oregon... even with all that damn heat.
Best antique shops ever.
its unusual weather never that hot its always perfect
@@carollacoste532 been watching the news & it's just awful to see so many people sick due to heat exhaustion in the northwest. I've been praying for people like crazy. My bestie moved to Idaho, my cousins are in Washington and Oregon. I've visited and absolutely loved it up there. But Laura finds the best stuff & I just want to spend 2 wks thrifting up there. If only I had the time and money.
I just moved to the Oregon coast from San Diego and the antique stores and thrift stores are awesome!!
Im so obsessed with your channel!!!! 🙌🏽
Yea road trip with Michele. The jewelry pieces are amazing! And your hat looks lovely on you 👍🏻
I could just watch you thrift all day!
ETA: looooooove those earrings you have on in the car. Gorgeous!
Thank you! New from my jewelry estate buy 😄
Been lookin' for u to show up... Love goin' with you shopping.. You find the coolest things-thanks.... granny franny
Omg the blue globe lamp 🤗!
I loved the flower frog lesson. Thanks. My favourite find was the trinket box. I have so many as well - it may be a problem!! Also, you found some stunning jewellery. Love it all.
the mid century dinner set it was like stars oh my to die for design and colors
I love all the little shops and your Goodwill stores are so much better than the ones we have here in the south. I absolutely love all your turquoise . I'm trying to get a collection going. Thanks for all the information you give us.
OMG! Those rugs behind the sofa. Just gorgeous. Thanks for taking us along on your trips!
Maybe someone has already commented on the moon shape metal flower frog ……here I go
The little tab on it fits into a small moon shape frog to make a round frog ….3-1 frog.
Love your channel.
Those A&C Salt and Flour pieces...and that green vase that you were drawn to!
I would love go traveling with you to all these vintage shops love watching you ❤️👍 Australia xx
Laura out of all the thrifters and pickers I watch you are my absolute favorite! Thanks for all the great content you have taught me so much. You have the best taste and style.
The cat on the laptop with typing sound effects made me laugh out loud. Thanks for taking us on another adventure. You are just delightful! Xo
I live in a condo and was watching this Laura vid after 2AM; when the typing cat came on it caught me off guard and I must have wakened the entire building with my laughing!
@@dorothyrobdau9626 😂❤️
Hilarious!😂
@@sharleybarnes7627 😹❤️
Omg i need to look for inserts for my pots. Thank you so much for sharing sis. We appericate sis. You make my day every time i watch your videos sis. Love you sis. 💖❤💖❤💖❤💖❤💖❤💖❤
Thank you for demonstrating how the pieces are used in the vase - never heard of them until today.
Awesome turquoise jewelry. Your collection is very beautiful
Love the MCM store !!! I wish we had one here in Ohio . I see pieces on and off but to have an entire store that sells that is wonderful !!! I think I would spend all day shopping !!!
Are you far from Canton, Ohio? There’s a store I’ve always wanted to visit called Main Street Modern.
Laura, the more i see your video's, the more I just love you! You explain things so well, like the plant frogs and placing the flowers! The way you decorate is so phenomenal! I like traditional and the dark cherry and walnut woods, but now i'm just loving the teak and medium colored woods. so much that i'm thinking to do my kitchen cabinets! Keep up the great work girl!
Thanks so much Kim!! ❤️❤️❤️😘
I love all your videos and the inspiring pieces and eclectic styles you find! An idea for a video- the ins and outs of estate sale shopping. How to find them? What to look for? Finding deals? What’s worth splurging? Those jewelry pieces you picked up are incredible 😍
Love flower frogs. I am from the South and they are not so easy to come by anymore. They are very versatile for other uses such as putting vintage postcards or pictures in also.
Super fun! Love the jewelry. Thanks for sharing!
I see a fish🦘🐨❤️wow the jewellery stunning 😘
Hello Laura. I love your style and your channel. It's so much fun shopping along with you.
TFS
My favorite piece is the bird necklace. Gorgeous!!
Isn’t it amazing 😍
love the zen flower moment
A new hobby of mine! Excited to share more on it in future videos ☺️
Another great video..you are a natural...I been staying away from thrifting and antiquing I need to sell what I have at my Yard Sale coming up next month..I need to thin out my hoard...LOL
I have a high school friend who has lived in Aurora for years. His wife owns Time after Time. Beautiful little town
You can also put a bit of florist clay on the bottom of your frog, which secures it to the vase or pot.
I love love love the amethyst Jerusalem cross pendant!
Thanks for bringing us along while you find great treasures. Your videos are very informative and I am learning a lot. Thanks for sharing.
The blue lamp you mentioned loving for your new home was my favorite Laura! ❤
Thanks for sharing and enjoyed shopping with you and loved your goodies.
Love the SWANKY SWIG glasses! Also, my mom loved to make floral arrangements and I just inherited her flower frog collection. She only used the heavy metal frogs, but always secured them with floral putty (clay?) so the flowers would fall over.
The listing you shared said “dove pendant”. Thanks for sharing your outing and finds!
Hi Laura and friend, L you look good in the panama hat and even your mask is so stylish, one of a kind like you. What a nice idea to arrange your small trinket pieces with some jewelry, a nice arrangement for the eye. Thank you for sharing some ideas with us at home.
Timeless antiques and collectibles took my breath away. Omg heaven
I remember that my Mom bought
pimento cheese in those little glasses.
Luv shopping with you. You are soo sweet & kind & have a great personality. And ur a fabulous decorator. Have a great week.🌻🌻🌻
I feel like everything you touch turns to $$$ I’m so proud of how far you have come 🙌🙌
Thank you Julie! ☺️ My husband always says that whatever I touch turns to gold 😆 My secret is hard work behind the scenes!! ✨
I have a Panama hat and I love the weight of it and the weave! Enjoy!
I bought my hat like your in the Riviera Maya at a shop that only had hats from Panama. I love my hat.🐝
Loved the lamp with the bright blue glass.
I would buy some plastic inserts for your lovely pots, so the water doesn't damage them, especially the older ones and cracks them. Amazon probably has them for cheap. Love your channel.
I really love when you show up. I love how you are a maximalist but don’t over stuff vases! You have such a gift and you are a little ray of sunshine on an otherwise very rainy week in OK. (I hear the PNW is getting unusually hot weather. Stay cool… in every way! 😎) ha
Such a positive spirit! Love your posts
Yes I see the dove!
It’s definitely a bird! All that jewelry is so great! The turquoise is really stunning. All the antique stores were a real treat to visit. My daughter lives in Calgary, Canada and we are planning a road trip down through there when the border opens! Fun, fun and more fun!! Thanks Laura!!
Laura your jewelry is absolutely gorgeous. Which is something I would never ever be able to afford but I do love looking at it!
I could live in that store. Great fun! Thanks for taking us along.
8:50, I just love hummingbirds... and colorful things.
Wow great find for the flower holder. I love the idea. Thanks Laura. Have fun
From one Laura to another......great shopping trip!!! Love your video mix of shopping, haul, and showing the items in use!
What a wonderful thing it is to go shopping and have lunch with a great friend!!! Love the video! You and Michelle are so blessed to have each other❤️❤️🙏🙏
Love the jewelry! The Franciscan Starburst dinnerware was what both my mom & grandmother had when I was growing up. I think my mom used hers until the 80’s. Now the two sets are boxed up in the garage for me & my daughter. ❤️
I love Aurora! Your husband must love the varied changes you make in your house after each of your shopping trips!
Necklace...yes, definitely see a bird or an angel fish, side view.
That designer jewelry piece looked like a bird to me. Ive bought lots of jewelry from you and will watch Friday to see if I can get into more trouble. I loved the brass trinket box. Stay safe. Cant wait to see your rooftop Little Italy garden. Love you bunches.
So many beauties today, Laura! I especially loved the little bear earrings you showed right at the end. Gorgeous!
Hi, Laura! I have been bing watching your videos now and your old videos with Selena. I love how you explain everything! It’s so informative! I have been into thrifting for a long time. But now I have to slow down. Had one hip replacement and need a second hip replacement soon. Hard to walk and in pain. I miss going all over looking for anything I want! Thanks for making my day! Keep up the great work! God bless you!💜🌺💜
Wow, you're in my neck of the woods! So many shops and goodies and eye candy as far as the eyes can see! Always come home with something!
I was in Aurora today at some of those shops. I even saw my first penguin ice bucket at one.
Haha nice! 🐧
