I am so old I told my husband it's fun to watch these people shopping for mid-century modern and a lot of things everybody picks up. I say we used to have one of those. We were married in 1971.
You wanna feel OLD ? how bout when these "youngsters" that go hunting for REALLY REALLY OLD TOYS - and it's Ninja Turtles and Strawberry Shortcake dolls As if 1989 was 100 years ago ! LOL I was only in 4th grade in 1971.
I was married in 1966 and I am the same, when my husband and I were on holiday a few years ago we went to a museum and the things we saw in there that we used to have makes you feel really old.
Hello there anniec1106... seasoned like a beautifully grilled steak is the new 'old' lol! I like experienced or rich with time/age. Aswell!! Lol old is sooo golden moldy... Although I'm beyond half a century, I am happy to be so. Nothing could make me go back to youngin' status!! Because I feel youngish and all growd up too!! Haha😂 enjoy your day from bottom to top!
Put a piece of Turquoise to replace the missing wooden piece in the Wooden Sculpture Wall Hanging. I work at a Clock Shop in NM and I fix lots of those Wooden Slab Wall Clocks with Turquoise for the numbers. Those clocks are from the 1970s. That piece you found reminds me of the clocks! (smile)
Laura: I can’t buy another thing, the car is full. Laura: Buys five more things. Laura: The car is packed, I can’t by another thing. Laura: Buys 7 more things. Laura: there’s no room, I can’t buy another thing. Laura: Buys four more things. 😂 You are the master packer/stuffer! Can’t wait to see what you bring to the Left Coast Flea, I’ll see you there!
You may not have the time but linens are so clean. I dump a heaping cup of oxyclean in my lobster pot filled with boiling water, or almost boiling. Let soak, stir with a wooden spoon, drain, rinse., this is important two or three rinses May be necessary. 6:01 After rinsing I take to a clean table on my patio covered with a big white towel. If there’s any stain left the sun will finish it.
I collect white pitchers. What a great shop. My boyfriend and I used to go thrifting every weekend. Sadly he is no longer with us. He was the absolute best you could find. It's been rough.
@@leftcoastrevivalsPraying for you and hope you feel he is always with you still . our human minds don't understand how this could be, but one day we will be back with our loved ones . I've been a widow for almost 45 years . My husband wrote a letter to my 2 very young daughters and me , saying " he would always be at our side and use him for strength . I've been comforted at times when I think back to his beautiful letter. I'm so sorry you are going through this . I'm now 84. My daughters are in their early 50's and now I have 5 grandchildren. Have faith , you will always miss your boyfriend , but the hurt softens as time passes and you will be happy.
That sweet creamer set @ 22:10 - glad you picked it up! I think is Elmer E. Gorton of American Terra Cotta & Ceramic Co. (1886 - 1927). He was a ceramicist and chemist. I Swear - Oregon has the BEST stores! And they look practically empty of shoppers!
I'll be watching for when you find the perfect chess set. It's out there because my family had one in the 70's. Its ceramic with critters. I learned to play with a turtle that moves slow and straight, a butterfly that flew on a diagonal, a frog that jumps forward and across, and the little worms inched forward one at a time. The king and queen were of course birds. It was lovely, and all set up on mushroom stamped squares. Very, very mcm. It's out there somewhere and I hope I find it, and if I don't I hope I watch you find it.
We have that cash register in our family! It was in my GF 's general store! I've only ever seen it two other places: the Waltons TV show and a restaurant in Bosnia Herzegovina ( Eastern Europe).
You just helped me yet again get through my hated morning dishes! Your videos are astoundingly good Laura AND you are so tactful in your narration about items and venues. Other UA-camrs are not. It goes a long way to be positive and kind. Not negative and dismissive. Blessings on your Left Coast Flea🕊️
Laura! Fascinating treasures galore!! Oh, what fun to shop along with you!! I can't help but notice you passed up an Elsa Schiaparelli scarf for $3.75; she is one of the most famous Italian designers! Fun, fun!! Your Italy trip was magical!!
I just posted a comment on that same scarf...but when she pulled it out, one corner was completely shredded. Consoling myself that it didn't have a very exceptional design. 😉
I have both of the Egyptian vases that you found, purchased new from Franklin Mint in the 90s. I have them packed in a box since I moved. Seeing them again on your vlog I must get them out!
Any advise you have about this would be much appreciated. I am constantly coming across stained vintage lace/linens and I pass them bc I'm not sure of how to tackle the cleaning.
Great finds. I have an embarrassingly large collection of vintage linens. Oxiclean gets out 98% of any stain I've encountered over my 30+ years of collecting.
@@queaniesincetip4363 my husband uses a cleaner to soak empty wine bottles in before refilling that he claims is the same as Oxi-clean, it’s called One Step and also uses O2 to clean. While there is a slight odor to it, it is not perfume.
I use one part water to one part white vinegar on my cast iron pans. I let them soak (if they are bad) for at least 30 minutes & then use a wire brush to scrub the rust off. This way is non- toxic & it really works! 😊
Oxi White "Revive" will remove those stains on vintage linens. Make sure it's Revive you are buying. If you have a Soak feature on your washer. Add the reccomended amout of yhe powder, use hot water, add your linens and let them soak. Once done the stains should be gone. Then do a gentle wash. If any of the stains remain just repeat the Revive step and they will be gone. It hasn't failed me yet. AND... if they have colorful embroidery on them it won't bleach out the colors.😊
The strange thing about people who make mean comments is that it fits so well with the old saying, “misery loves company” meaning they WANT others to feel their same misery. So sad! Prayers for ALL miserable folks.
I use a product called Evapo-rust for restoring antique door hardware. It’s non toxic, and you can reuse it over and over. You just soak the pieces for a few hours to overnight and the rust is gone. I highly recommend it! This city looks like a place I need to visit! Can’t wait to see everything!
I giggled throughout this video every time you would say "My car is full" and then find more and more treasures that you knew you would find a way to squeeze in. It reminded me of when you are somewhere enjoying amazing food and although you are sooo full already, you keep having "just one more" because it's just that good! :)!
I giggled every time you said you had no room in the car…4 shops ago…and scored big time at each place. I loved it! Super great haul of gorgeous items! 😂❤
Do you clean the artifacts you purchased, or do you leave them with the same patina? How about polishing shoes or purses? Do you clean all the furniture you purchase for a better resale value? About jewelry, do you polish the pieces? I know I would. I would LOVE to get into vintage resales, but knowing me, I would want to keep everything I buy which is NOT a good thing since I am trying to "lighten up" my stuff. Thanks for your posts!!
I am watching from Montreal Canada and just amazed at every stop you make one awesome thrift store and antique shop after with awesome bargains. I can't wait to see everything at the end of your road trip have a wonderful weekend.
Same here. I haven’t thrift much 2019. ND Such stores/antique malls are very, very few in Montreal and got to wait to thrift in Florida during winter. Mind you, i don’t collect as much as before. Being 71, i’ve slowed down accumulating. Items have to really appealed to me. So that’s why i love watching Laura discovering treasures. ❤
Hello Montreal.. I lived there in 1969 as a 14 year old ... Watched them walk in the moon while living there. Only lived there for one year, my father's job took us there. My teacher gave up on teaching me French...lolol
I’m so glad I did too! I almost hesitated at the last minute because of the cost but I knew I wouldn’t ever find a set that complete again and would regret it.
@5:02 😮😮😮 I was shocked you didn't check out those African standing figures. I was drooling over them! 😅❤ @12:27 that beautiful green standing bowl, I wanted that treasure too! 😂😂❤
You put either cooked apples or cooked tomatoes in the colander and use the wooden ‘paddle’ to smash the fruit against the sides of the colander and squeeze it out the tiny holes… applesauce or tomato sauce.
we used a pestle like that in a cone shape colander to make applesauce...cook the apples and place in colander and the pestle squeezes the sauce out and leaves the peeling in the colander😄
My mom had that same one but used it to make jelly. I don't have it anymore, but remember it was a lot of fun, and a bit messy. Blackberry jelly was the best.
Hello fellow Oregonian ! For rust I've used a white vinegar bath. It takes time but was about 90% effective for my piece of steel rail! And your iron kitty maybe a soup ladle rest for the woodstove and the like. Good doorstop for a light door. It's so cute.!! Love your videos great commentary! Plus your knowledge lends to the confidence you exude! Thanks for your content! Inspired! Zero negativity here for I am a Portlandian and positively proud and happy to be as such!! Keeping it weird of course! 😉😉🤣
I grew up in the 70s & 80s going to bars with my dad (in the daytime)and he would always give me change to play the jukebox. He would also let me pull the lever to get his cigarettes out the machine.. These are great memories for me...I would love to have one & a cig machine to put candy bars in
I have that cast iron cat. Mine has round tiles in the two circles. Ebay has one and it's listed as an ashtray. I would think using it as an ashtray, the cigarette would sit between the legs and you'd put out the cigarette on one of the tiles. I have mine sitting on a table. It's too cute to let it get dirty.
If you want to get linens truly white - wash them your favourite way but dry them by laying them on the lawn in the bright sun. I always put a old sheet down and then laid out my stained things.
Just an fyi, Wilton is made in Wrightsville Pa. 8 miles from my home and friends with the great grandson. If your ever in Columbia PA. You'll love the finds!!!!
Every time you said 'we are getting this!' I was like giiiirrrl...... Can't say I blame you though, those last 2 stops were amazing! When it comes to how much you can pack in a car on trips, my family's philosophy has always been 'one more thing'. And you get fond memories of the ride home with your arms around an antique overmantel...😆 Bring on the unpacking show-n-tell!
Laua you keep finding goodies! The cat might be a spoonrest My favorites are the birdplate , the Mexican pottery , the birdlamp and the woodcarved artpiece. You must be a pro in stacking an packing items in your car.
Hi Laura. You just picked up a large pestle and I happen to know what it is because my Mother used one. Is used in a cone shaped metal colander that has a 3 legged stand. Fruit is placed inside and the pestle is used to mull large quantities of fruit which drains into a bowl under the stand. The juice is then used to make jelly. Mother canned and made jelly, jam and preserves. She was a wonderful cook.
Hi, Laura! I’ve been waiting for you to post this video, since I was in Klamath Falls on a thrifting day with 2 girlfriends not long after you were there (and saw your table cards on the counter advertising the Rose City Vintage Market/Left Coast Flea at Keepers!) 🥳 We too hit the Goodwill, both Hospice stores (scored some myrtlewood there), and Keepers (still having a number of vendor sales, sooo good!), but sadly did not have time to make it everywhere and now clearly need to return to hit the last 2 stops on your tour (Spring Street Antiques, wowsa!). Oh, Klamath Goodwill store is actually part of a network of stores called Southern Oregon Goodwill (include Klamath, Medford, Ashland, White City, Central Point, Grants Pass, Roseburg and Yreka in No. California) and they do some distribution among all of the stores (I’m in them enough the staff at many stores know me, and have a high school friend who works in the Grants Pass one, so I ask them all about how things work-plus my donations at my local GW in GP I’ve actually later seen at other stores). But we were also pleasantly surprised at all of the great finds at that GW location. What pawn shop did you stop at (we saw one when downtown near our lunch spot, Leap of Taste, so yummy, on Main Street. Would be interested to know, great jewelry finds!) Glad you had so much success in such a small community--and love the Belgium pottery piece, found one quite similar at my GW, very cool. 🌸
I am looking forward to learning from you Laura Caldwell! I have retired and have a houseful that I need to clean out so my family does not have to worry about it later!
Not long ago I walked into a Goodwill here in Indianapolis and on a cart not yet put on display was the Louisville Stoneware cornflower pattern water cooler - perfect condition - for $3.99. I love Louisville Stoneware and Hadley pottery so I was delighted. You have such good taste and a good eye in what you collect. Fun to watch!
A friend of mine I work with has the same style of folding table with the brass top. She inherited it from her mom and also some beautiful scarves and throws. Oh and a gorgeous tea set. So gorgeous!
Hi Laura, so happy I found your podcast in my younger days. I did a lot of collecting. Have a lot of things in the Attic I have to go through. I'm just leaving everything really to my son and what he wants to do with it. I'm in my little bit past my mid-60s now but I do appreciate your staging because it has given me new ideas for my old things so thank you so much. I keep up the staging some of the things I can't believe I've never thought of before
Wow that was a lot to take in that big store I could have stayed all day right there you picked some amazing things I enjoyed very much coming along waiting for reveal video 🎉
I live here in Klamath. You found a couple of places I didn’t know were here! Keeper’s Corner is my all time favorite. I wish I had stumbled upon the Empoli before you did 😅. Great video ❤
I think that wood piece you called the other part of mortar pestle is actually part of an aluminum cone sieve food mill colander thing. (just google what I typed and I am sure a picture of what I am talking about will come up lol)
It’s so hard for me when you pick up something I really love. That Chinese teapot with leaves on it…..oh my! I am screaming…buy it …buy it! But sadly…you don’t hear me! 😂
I bought the McCoy vase at 10:04 with the red leaf design at a Goodwill here in Toronto, many years ago, and then let it go in one of my declutterings.

You are the master packer/stuffer! Can’t wait to see what you bring to the Left Coast Flea, I’ll see you there!
🤣🤣🤣 See you there!
hahahaha. Isn't that the way with addicts ;) And what a wonderful addiction this is. At least she can part with it and sell some to some lucky people!
In 7:47 there was a row of purple hens any chance they could be available?
The metal cat makes me think of butter molds.
😂😂😂

I gift the linen I find or add embroidery to fabric napkins…. Sequins and beads to table runners
Oh yeah, I would totally drive home with a huge vase in my lap. Take it all home girl!!!
😂 love it!

I use a product called Evapo-rust for restoring antique door hardware. It’s non toxic, and you can reuse it over and over. You just soak the pieces for a few hours to overnight and the rust is gone. I highly recommend it! This city looks like a place I need to visit! Can’t wait to see everything!

Laura plays CAR TETRIS !!! 😅
I often use "Sharpies" to hide scratches and mars. They come in all colors. Also nail polish is great for ceramics, etc...
I would have taken the Schaperelli scarf just to have one!
Sadly it was totally destroyed.
I love that spider legs table with the brass tray top. It is gorgeous!
I can’t wait to see the haul and how you style it all. What a road trip.👏👏👏
The last store ❤❤❤
37:12 too bad the Schiaparelli scarf was so damaged!😢

AMAZING as always Laura! I have a small suggestion if you don't wish to pull a trailer - Rooftop Carrier - GAMECHANGER!
You are the best. Love every one of your posts and your wealth of information. Keep it up.
Girl! You have a shopping problem! :) haven't watched you in a while so I'm living vicariously thru you right now!
Love your staging items you are top notch
It blows my mind the things you find and the amazing prices

Well that was a lot of fun, watching you shop.
The item you called a pestle goes with a colander. ❤
You put either cooked apples or cooked tomatoes in the colander and use the wooden ‘paddle’ to smash the fruit against the sides of the colander and squeeze it out the tiny holes… applesauce or tomato sauce.
I bought my first piece of myrtle wood while driving through Oregon back in the 1970’s. I’ve loved it ever since.
Oh Laura!! I’m hoping you got the Schiaparelli scarf!
I scored 2 Emilio Pucci cotton scarfs at an estate sale for 25cents each!
It was ripped.

we used a pestle like that in a cone shape colander to make applesauce...cook the apples and place in colander and the pestle squeezes the sauce out and leaves the peeling in the colander😄

My mom had that same one but used it to make jelly. I don't have it anymore, but remember it was a lot of fun, and a bit messy. Blackberry jelly was the best.
My Mother worked at Seeburg back in the 50's! She made the tabletop ones.

I have that cast iron cat. Mine has round tiles in the two circles. Ebay has one and it's listed as an ashtray. I would think using it as an ashtray, the cigarette would sit between the legs and you'd put out the cigarette on one of the tiles. I have mine sitting on a table. It's too cute to let it get dirty.
I have been binge watching your blogs. You have awesome taste and I love your finds. Beautiful spider leg table. Cheers from Canada
Your wooden pestle at 33:00 is the shape of one that would go with the old aluminum cone-shaped kitchen sieves.
That green fondue pot works with a can of Sterno, like what is used for chafing dishes on a buffet line.

You must be a pro in stacking an packing items in your car.
Hi Laura. You just picked up a large pestle and I happen to know what it is because my Mother used one. Is used in a cone shaped metal colander that has a 3 legged stand. Fruit is placed inside and the pestle is used to mull large quantities of fruit which drains into a bowl under the stand. The juice is then used to make jelly. Mother canned and made jelly, jam and preserves. She was a wonderful cook.
I think this was your best hauls ever!!! Congrats!!
It s my dream to own a juke box one day.
I would go crazy in that pile of scarfs
Love the girapf elephant. Love the weird conversationpieces
The yellow and blue vase reminds me of the pair of yellow and blue/turquoise vases I ought in Rome!
Hi, Laura! I’ve been waiting for you to post this video, since I was in Klamath Falls on a thrifting day with 2 girlfriends not long after you were there (and saw your table cards on the counter advertising the Rose City Vintage Market/Left Coast Flea at Keepers!) 🥳 We too hit the Goodwill, both Hospice stores (scored some myrtlewood there), and Keepers (still having a number of vendor sales, sooo good!), but sadly did not have time to make it everywhere and now clearly need to return to hit the last 2 stops on your tour (Spring Street Antiques, wowsa!). Oh, Klamath Goodwill store is actually part of a network of stores called Southern Oregon Goodwill (include Klamath, Medford, Ashland, White City, Central Point, Grants Pass, Roseburg and Yreka in No. California) and they do some distribution among all of the stores (I’m in them enough the staff at many stores know me, and have a high school friend who works in the Grants Pass one, so I ask them all about how things work-plus my donations at my local GW in GP I’ve actually later seen at other stores). But we were also pleasantly surprised at all of the great finds at that GW location. What pawn shop did you stop at (we saw one when downtown near our lunch spot, Leap of Taste, so yummy, on Main Street. Would be interested to know, great jewelry finds!) Glad you had so much success in such a small community--and love the Belgium pottery piece, found one quite similar at my GW, very cool. 🌸
I am looking forward to learning from you Laura Caldwell! I have retired and have a houseful that I need to clean out so my family does not have to worry about it later!
wow FANTASTIC video Laura! So much fun! 🎉🎉🎉
Laura, this was so much fun to watch. You really inspire and educate me on what to look out for. Love your videos.
Not long ago I walked into a Goodwill here in Indianapolis and on a cart not yet put on display was the Louisville Stoneware cornflower pattern water cooler - perfect condition - for $3.99. I love Louisville Stoneware and Hadley pottery so I was delighted. You have such good taste and a good eye in what you collect. Fun to watch!
A friend of mine I work with has the same style of folding table with the brass top. She inherited it from her mom and also some beautiful scarves and throws. Oh and a gorgeous tea set. So gorgeous!
Hi Laura, so happy I found your podcast in my younger days. I did a lot of collecting. Have a lot of things in the Attic I have to go through. I'm just leaving everything really to my son and what he wants to do with it. I'm in my little bit past my mid-60s now but I do appreciate your staging because it has given me new ideas for my old things so thank you so much. I keep up the staging some of the things I can't believe I've never thought of before
Wow… that was an amazing tall florentine table lighter at 41:24. Dreamy swoon…
Osofo, available at Ace Hardware in the south, neutralizes rust and turns it to powder you can brush off.
Wow that was a lot to take in that big store I could have stayed all day right there you picked some amazing things I enjoyed very much coming along waiting for reveal video 🎉
I live here in Klamath. You found a couple of places I didn’t know were here! Keeper’s Corner is my all time favorite. I wish I had stumbled upon the Empoli before you did 😅. Great video ❤
I think that wood piece you called the other part of mortar pestle is actually part of an aluminum cone sieve food mill colander thing. (just google what I typed and I am sure a picture of what I am talking about will come up lol)
The round wood thing is an old jeweler’s (watch maker) Punch tool stand
Wow! Really really good stuff! The hunt is so much fun.
It’s so hard for me when you pick up something I really love. That Chinese teapot with leaves on it…..oh my! I am screaming…buy it …buy it! But sadly…you don’t hear me! 😂
Didn’t know bundle pricing was a thing at private stores. Thanks for the tip! 😊
Maybe a marble could go into that great wood sculpture? Maybe a classic cat’s eye marble?
LAURA FOR NOT HAVING ENOUGH SPACE YOU SURE BOUGHT ALOT OF THINGS AND SUCH BEAUTIFUL THINGS ❤😃🥰🦋🦋🦋🌻🌻🌻🐝
Bravo Laura! You gave us a big chunk of your thrift journey this time. It was worth the wait😊. Loved all your finds😍
Your life looks so fun!! Thanks for sharing. I love coming along.
I bought the McCoy vase at 10:04 with the red leaf design at a Goodwill here in Toronto, many years ago, and then let it go in one of my declutterings.
Laura, you find the best thrifts! And have such a good eye for decoring your home with just the right pieces and accessories.
