Garage Sale, Estate Sale & Flea Market Shopping! | Three Ways to Thrift Vintage
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 жов 2024
- Thrift price shopping without ever setting foot in a thrift store? It's possible in Largo, Florida's sunny winter, where a new flea market, an annual community trailer park sale, garage and estate sales make it easy to find a whole bunch of deals on antique and vintage discoveries!
Second time's the charm for us at the flea market, where last week's blowout makes dealers hungry to blow out vintage and antiques. Curbdigger Carl comes with me to hunt, and we come away with bargains on collections of costume jewelry, razors and kitchen scales. A boho booth proffers $5 deals on a pressed butterfly vase and an Italian mid-century ewer, and see a woman who's overstuffed truckload puts my packing to shame!
Bookending our flea market visit are trips to a community sale, garage sales and a last-minute trip to an estate sale that's clearing everything left at half-off! An Irish tam for $3, an ammo box for $5, railroad items left in a desk and a shell worth its weight in brass join our pile, while we contemplate what to do with a handsome and cheap antique sideboard and a really stylish set of 1950s dishware.
We go home to divvy up the loot, and marvel about how much (and how little) we spent! Thrifting vintage is easy when you thrift outside of the thrift store box.

That beret! It's fun having you watch so I can remember my old glories lol
Thank you George
Looks like a very good time ! 😊
Another well informed video. Thank you! ;)
Auntie Em, Auntie Em 😂
Your comments in this one were cracking me up! Great video!
I was in a mood! Thanks
His comments always crack me up. Love, love, love the way he thinks and the timing and delivery…spot on! Lol
“I spent about $350. And I wasn’t looking, either.” Lol love those glasses on you George. This was fantastic. Your cousin, Carl is great. That truck? Yowzers!!!!
LOL...lots of former Cleopatras,,great shopping trip..thank you!! Razors...wow. so many things, congrats on your deals.
Yes! Thank you! Lots of former Cleos, it was the thing in the 1960s to be
Fun video!
George I love your sense of humor!
I do, too. It's another piece of his channel that makes life fun here.
Good times! Thanks for sharing 😊
Our pleasure!
Fun days going flea market antiquing and estate sales too. How fun. Thanks for taking us along in your travels. Have a great day
Always here to watch and learn! 😊
George, U R such a fun guy! Thanks for the education!!
Fun day!
Hahahahaha, "nobody was ever the court jester or the village idiot" I spit out my tea!!!!
Lol well everyone was always someone famous in their prior life...I'm not sure there was that much room for all of them to have been Cleopatra or the Pharaoh
Super fun! And The trolls. Great quip! 😂
I always love watching your videos. Thank you! See you at the Custer show in Spokane.
Awesome! Thank you! I hope to be there!
Frame 22:25 At least she has a truck. I've seen cars packed like that before, an 2 of them had a mattress tied on the backside. No, they were not just moving households. I saw one of them several times, always at a different place ( same area though ).
Thanks for explaining what retro really is. So many people using it as a synonym for vintage.
Great video.
I had a fun time exploring those sales with you. Thank you :)
60yrs ago-my father had a pawn shop so that is my earliest memory of his knowledge for antiques that you have. It’s so heartwarming to watch and listen to you. People sought him for his knowledge on antiques. He was also a good friend with Mrs. Heisey who lived in our hometown of Newark Ohio. He passed over 20 yrs ago so you are a treasure to watch! Thank you!
Wow! He knew the Heiseys? I imagine there was a lot of antique knowledge in his realm, Ohio is such a bastion of it and so much was made there.
Yes they were good friends. She was the sweetest women. She was a patient in an office I worked in and I would clean her diamond rings-5 of them-huge-and then I got to wear them until her visit was over! My father donated some Heisey candlesticks to the Heisey museum here that they did not have before his passing. I could go on and on like “Edith Bunker”, LOL but I won’t! Anyways-thanks again George!
The Heisey Glass Museum in Newark, Ohio is a must see. Make sure to allow enough time for lots of eye candy.
I’m totally digging that enormous gold ladle! Going to get one, paint it hot pink and put bird seed in it outside on my fence!❤😂
I enjoyed your shop along. I loved the set of black and white dishes. I couldn't have walked away from them.
I had the same thoughts! They were definitely different!
8:30 what are those called?
Those are fobs...people usually hung a pocket watch chain from them, but you could use them in various ways like a key tag
Good evening to everyone! Hello George!
Hello there! Glad to see you in the comments!
George says, "I'm trying to figure out what the name of the school is, seems unfortunate". Lol!!!!! George you are too much! I love your sense of humor😂
Well I'm just reporting what I see
Well that was a fun video I was enjoying the weather We have 2 ft of snow right now On to the next video whenever you're ready 🇨🇦🦩
Where is the Pinellas County flea market? Address?
Icot Boulevard just east of Hwy. 19 off Ulmerton Rd. in Largo
Fun shop along, George. Your comments are a hoot! I just hope that adult surprise wasn’t a bag of Depends😂
That could have been it! Lol
@@TheAntiqueNomad I don't know...those things can be pretty valuable to the right person. In all seriousness, I'm always happy to see the new packs donated to the local thrift stores here in Pinellas County. Because if they're anything like feminine products, I bet they're pretty pricey! And if you need them, you don't have much choice but to pay up. I think it's generous that people buy & donate new packages. However, I really do hope they were not the "surprise." Lol
I enjoy you shopping with your cousin. You seem so happy.
Thanks! We have fun together
That was super fantastic!
Thank you very much! It was different but fun
I appreciate the way you say “off shore” instead of “China”. Very respectful.
Great time shopping along with you, George.
Glad to hear you have a Connecticut connection! I knew I liked you. Now you just have to add a New England stop to your travels. We're not feeling the love here! 😂😂😂
I sure want to get back there!
Great video George 😀
Thanks 👍
George glad you found my expensive marbles I lost
There they are!
I had a lot of fun watching this episode. Can not wait for warm days and garage sales. So much fun!
I love you taking us along on your shopping trips. I wonder how that woman with all the packing materials in back of truck, made out on the windy day?
Not too great...she was chasing it all over and tying it all down
Hi George, I really enjoy the marbles in all there pretty colors and the comentary from Carl 👍
Me too! I'm glad you enjoyed it
Great job again GEORGE stay on the hunt.
Thanks! I'll keep on hunting
George can you suggest the best way to I’d free depression glass plates. Have checked lots of sites on live and can’t find the pattern. Thanks! Kay
I’m not sure what you’re describing but I’ll suggest an old depression glass reference book by Gene Florence
Loving these diverse shop along videos George! Thanks for sharing!
More to come! I like showing so many different ways to find things
I like you guys! :))
Thank you! We have fun, come along any time
George that was such an exciting day I loved it you found some really nice things I like your friend too 😌🤣🙂
Carl is George's cousin.
@@rhondaborders3452 thank you Rhonda I did not know that I just started watching Georgia's videos thank you so much 😃
I went to a bizzarr in Bradenton FL. Found a pair of Birkenstocks my size worn maybe twice. For $1 😊
I do love Carl's shirt and was going to ask about it!
It's been a hit among my antique dealer friends
I’m convinced I was a scullery maid 🤦♀️
YAY!!
Glad to have you here!
💖
Loved this episode!❤️
Thanks, me too!
Ah Ha! I was one of those rare Past Life REgression Persons that was NOT famous. I was a trusted Colonial Lady in East North America. Maybe Virginia? that was trusted by Native Americans. I was a mother of many and I remember so clearly receiving a young child from a Native American Buck that had lost his tribe to? Small Pox? Not sure. The most vivid image was the Buck walking away and his immense pain ( I was and am still very empathetic). I don't know if he came back for the child. Or? I was guided by a very gentle lady in New Jersey. I wish I could remember her name. I found myself in this lifetime taking care of others children for years. Thanks for your knowledge. I always learn from your videos! Time to peruse the Flea Markets again soon!
Awe.. Largo.. spent many a spring break with my aunt and uncle there back in the 80s. Ooohhhh my word that truck with all the stuff, my jaw hit the floor. That can't be legal. Loved the red handle chopper, had on e those in my past..great for chopping nuts. Always a fun time with you George. ❤️
I'm sure it's only legal in the back streets lol! Spring breakers are here now, it's your chance to come down!
"Cigarette burn, just like Mom used to make!" George, you're so bad, but funny!
That was real life at our house, mom burned a lot of furniture
Another great video George, you're generous to a fault informing us of so much as a picker/dealer.
Thanks 👍
Fun shopping with you two, lots of nice vendors too. I laughed when I saw red handled chopper tool, cause of course I have that one in my own collection of semi - archaic, fascinating kitchen tools....along with egg slicers, jar openers etc...Oh, I forgot the geared-egg beaters... I have a chorus line of those, with various shaped beaters and different colored handles...I can not resist them!
Egg slicers. EVERYTIME I see one I giggle. When my daughter was about 4 she was telling a fib, and stick in’ to it. I went to the kitchen and came back with the egg slicer. As I held it up I told her she had one last chance to tell the truth or I would use the “lie detector “. I told her if I held it up a certain way and handle moves, it would mean she was not telling the truth. She came clean. Lol
Your tartan hat is called a bunnet in Scotland 😡🧢
I don't believe I have seen Carl before in your videos. Such a nice fellow. AND, he is your cousin??
Geewiz! Well, it wasn't my kind of sale. I thought at the estate sale, the dinnerware set was Blue Ridge. But it wasn't. The golf hat suits you. Happy shopping!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊
I thought it was Royal China at first! You never know when you're freestyling and flea marketing what you'll find, I got stuff I like but not my usual finds
When l used to go every weekend, from garage sale to sale; this did happen often to me. But then you hit the right sale, and you are in heaven. You find all the things you want, like everything McCoy or Roseville. Thank you for writing back.
I’m not sure how I feel about someone’s adult surprise... 🤣😂🤣😂
I'm particular about who's lol
I cannot wear pierced earrings anymore, but I can wear clip on earrings. Many of the clip on earrings are vintage because most women did not have pierced ears in the 1950's. When my parents returned from Germany, my mother's neighbor pierced my ears using ice cubes to numb the ear. I was about 5 years old. Anyway I always look for clip on earrings when I go antiquing.
I am horrified that you didn't get a say in when and if your ears would be pierced. Anyway, I have pierced ears & don't like clips, so I end up not purchasing pin & clip earring sets no matter how much I like the pin because I don't have the heart to break up the set!!
@@twistoffate4791 my daughter chose to get her ears pierced at age 6. I didn’t talk her out of it.
@@laraemitchell9064 Hi LaRae!! I would say she already knew exactly what she wanted & "who she is" which is a beautiful thing. She will have an exciting lifetime's worth of fun picking out jewelry & hopefully receiving pierced earrings as a gift!!
I laughed when i saw this! My sister wanted her ears pierced when she was 6 back in the early 70s. Back then, people would go to drs offices & a nurse would do it. My British mum (we're American) tried to talk her out of it, but sis persisted, so mum got the ice cube & long sewing needle with black thread to see if she'd back down. Sis called her bluff & tada. She kinda lost her nerve after the first one was done, but mum said she'd look like a pirate if only one was done, so she gritted her teeth & 52 yrs later, still has them pierced, without the black thread, of course 🤣
@@bushelandpeck1501 The numbing with ice cubes hurt more than the piercing. I sure wish I could wear pierced earrings as that has always been my favorite jewelry. Enjoyed your story. Glad mine did not stop with one ear!
I have seen many Gardners using the hanging scales to weigh there fruits and vegetables out in their garden.
Makes sense!
Did they make those little crackle glass pitchers in the early 1960s?
Yes, and through into the 1970s
@@TheAntiqueNomad that makes me happy to know that. Thanks George!😊
So much informative knowledge and I will have to watch it again! Liked those scales and if they were mine I would hang my most used pots on them.
I wold have bought that red Cosco stool with the cigarette burn. Keeping it real! Great video, as per usual.
I would've probably bought it anyhow if it hadn't been sold
Oops, I missed that.
@@marlagriffith3144 me too
ON TV, there used to be this vinyl repair stuff . Does anyone remember? It seemed to have worked like MAGIC on vinyl rips and tears . I think you got a kit with a bunch of different colors..... I have a feeling it was some type of acrylic paint . Acrylic paint dries plastic-y , but not sure how it would stay adhered .
You must be close to home spending that much money.
Looks like more great buys.
Until next time...
Aloha! 🐢
The great thing is these were unbrekables so I can ship some back to the West coast!
I loved seeing the troll doll. When I was a kid one Christmas, I got a female one. A little while later my sister opened hers and squeeled, "I got another Damn Thing!" In the 1960s, if my grandmother had had false teeth, she'd have lost them then and there.. Still one of the best family memories, and her demon thing was that male one with the green pants and black hair!!! I think I still have mine packed away, along with the donkey and lion. Don't know if she still has hers. Thank you for the quick trip down memory lane!!! 😃
1:20. Name of the school seems unfortunate! 😂😂😂😂😂
I am binge watching, tryin’ to catch up. And oh, good lord. Past life Regression comment. “ No one was ever the court jester, or the village idiot.” Hilarious And the “unfortunate” school name. Your name isn’t George. It’s “adorable”.
Hubby David’s first foray into antiquing was collecting double edged razors. He had over a thousand of them and would display the best ones in a wooden spool cabinet with glass fronted drawers. When EBay started he decided to downsize. He developed quite a following especially after he decided to start his auctions with letters of the alphabet. He would start with “This weeks auction starts with the letter “A” featuring only those brands that started with that letter. His fan base exploded with may buyers coming from Japan. What fun he had! It was great to see the razors and other interesting items in today’s video. Thanks George. 9a
I enjoyed reading your comment, as it's not something we typically see. Thank you.
That was a great story!
@@judyparmentier9699 Thank you!
Quick question, George. Do you think you could swing by Toronto to go on a Canadian road trip? Asking for a friend. Lol
I want very much to see more of Ontario!
@@TheAntiqueNomad what time ya pick’ me up??? Lol
26:10 IF you didn't know how incredibly COMMON these were : you'd think they were worth $50.00 to $100.00 easily. These STILL turn up "in the wild" like Pyrex and other "shelf warmers" .
I laughed alot
Thanks! This one was a little more light-hearted
I have trouble passing up a Penguin server when I see them for under $10. I owned three of my own at one time, and had to let one go. I’m keeping my 40+ year old one, and Mom’s 60+ year old one, and any others I have to sell.
Cool! I don't pass them up at that price either
Good evening, George! There were some interesting items there. I spotted a kerosene lamp burner in a box that I would've grabbed. The hanging scales are something else I like, too. That wood carved face item looked like a cypress knee. That decanter set, at the estate sale, really interested me. That ammo shell casing is something I liked a lot. They make a nice "sculpture" just as they are, or they can be used as a vase. Loved the ancient Egyptian motif ewer! Fun shopping! Thanks for the take-along!!!
Hello my friend! Lots happening here, glad you enjoyed it and you saw things I missed...I usually look at kero burners! That was definitely a cypress knee, cute but I have a few. I'm glad that ammo appealed to you, there were more traditionally guy-focused things at these markets and that was fun and different for me to show! The fellow selling the Egyptian revival piece and his stuff definitely had a vibe. I hope all is well with you and yours-
@@TheAntiqueNomad Hey! Yep, there was definitely a lot going on there. I'm going to have to replace a burner on one of my Goofus Glass lamps, (it isn't a priority...most of the paint is missing on it, but it could still be used in a power outage), and I'm always on lookout for the old burners. I sure don't want one of the bright, polished, new replacement burners on it. That ammo shell did appeal to me. I like trench art, but one with no embellishments is also a sculpture in itself. I'm an ancient Egyptian nut, so that ewer is something I'd go for in a heartbeat. I hope you're doing well, and all my best to you and your mom!
This is part of the reason George has accumulated so much knowledge, he'll ask questions.
It's the way!
The school name made me spit out my drink. Unfortunate for sure
Lol yeah
I collect lucite vases with plants and/or butterflies in them. Will that vase be for sale on your eBay store? Thanks!
Send an email to me at theantiquenomad@gmail.com and you can just buy direct!
I could not have resisted the adult mystery bag. I would just have to know... I have a friend who is a professional freelance sex writer and I am sure she would have taken all the icky things inside to use in some of her articles on the history of sex toys. Also I couldn't have resisted those black and white dishes. I have a thing for black and white dishes and that set was fantastic. The problem would have been how to hide them from my son who has said NO MORE DISH SETS!
I was tempted...for a moment! That's hilarious to think, perhaps it was just booze but who knows? Those dishes were SO good and I SO hated to leave them, I just couldn't take on another set until I sort out what I have but they were amazing.

Yes skip adult stupid stuff
The first silver Gillette hit home… my father had the exact one… idk why I remember it but I do… 😢❤️🩹
