Who else is jealous of Laura's goodwill. Mine aren't even close to them, in quality and price's. I'm happy for you Laura don't get me wrong. But I wish they all were awesome as well. Love your shopping together too. It was a great idea Jesse.
The ash tray with the picture of Fable Cottage (18:26)is a tourist attraction that used to be in Victoria BC and was purchased by a guy who moved it to Denman island as a private residence.
I’m enjoying very much your series going to all Goodwills in the area. I have to say the evolution of Jesse has been remarkable. He adds a new dimension to your thrifting. Now that he’s soooo comfortable on camera his true personality is shinning through. Include Jesse like you have been occasionally as it is a pleasant surprise and adds a spin on your thrifting style. It’s easy to see why you two are together - 2 peas in a pod! lol
I agree with everything you mention but I wonder about his comment regarding the possibility of cookies going stale when they encounter the first cookie jar. Has Jesse never had a cookie? Perhaps Jesse is secretly a robot? lol
Fable Cottage was a private home in Victoria, BC, Canada that was turned into a tourist attraction after the owners received so much attention from passers by. It was on a waterfront property looking across to San Juan Island. When I was 14 I worked as a tour guide there. The home was later floated up the island and now resides on Denman Island, a little north east of Vancouver Island. A very cool place indeed!!
The glass flower frog like that one actually sat in the top of a vase and the stems went through to the water. That’s why there’s a rim or lip on it. The work in the bottom, too. Loving your 50 visits!
I think it was on your first stop you picked up the two matching lamps and I wasn’t excited like you were, but then you showed a picture of them with the pleated lampshades you scored previously and WOW they were beautiful! What an eye you have!
We have 2 cookie jars. The grandkids ask Da(grandpa) to make cookies to fill the jars all the time. Oldest granddaughter leaving for college, asked for a full cookie jar for her dorm!
Sponge holder for the frog. My mom and ALLLLLLL her ceramic friends made these. They were on the kitchen sinks of EVERYONE I knew in the mid 70's to mid 80's
I have been selling online since 1999 and can honestly say I have learned more from you than I have in the past almost 25 years. Thank you so much for your insights.
@@mariaroldan4200Yep, my husband started in March 1999 and I started selling in September of that year In those days, you could sell a rare CD from Morrissey or Maria Carey for $1,000. Some VHS videos were valuable and there was far less competition. People could also pay by cash and we had tons of mail every day. Things are a bit different these days Rather not share my store name on this forum.
I totally agree with Jesse, you have such a good eye for spotting amazing hidden pieces that most people would not see or look at twice. I swear you’d be able to find a needle in a haystack if it was vintage lol!
We still watch Bob Ross! I was coming home from work super stressed part of last year. Hubby would find a Bob Ross episode on UA-cam or Tubi and we would unwind with Bob before bed..... happy little trees!
As a floral designer, that glass flower frog would go inside the upper end of the vase, pushing the flower stems through. In a large vase, there is a putty to keep the frog stable in the bottom too. Use that type both ways. 💐 🌹 🌸 🏵 🌼
Woke after dreaming about thrifting. Then saw you had posted. So, fed the cat, made a coffee and crawled back into bed for a rainy Saturday morning treat.
Laura, I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to express my heartfelt appreciation for the joy and positivity you bring into my life through your content. Unfortunately, I must share some difficult news-I'm currently navigating a challenging journey as my partner battles cancer. This has understandably shifted my focus to being present and finding solace in faith during this time. I was so eager when you announced your flea market and joining one of your trips, as I had been preparing throughout the year with thrifted items for a show. However, amidst these unforeseen circumstances, I find myself feeling scared and alone, especially since my family is far away. Despite these challenges, I want you to know how genuinely happy and proud I am for you and Jesse. Your achievements and adventures inspire me greatly. Your videos I never miss, you have become a comforting presence, almost like friends. If you could spare a moment to send positive thoughts or prayers my way, I would deeply appreciate it. Your kindness and support mean a lot during this difficult time. Thank you for teaching me so much. Susan 🙋🏻♀️🥺🥺🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️❤️🌹
Sending my positive thoughts to you and your partner. I battled cancer myself, and here I am: 12 years later and well. Battle it together, and come out stronger....All the best to you both!
As you pointed out in this video, there are many artistic people in the Washington/Oregon area and that’s why your finds are so unusual. My local stores are full of dollar tree kitsch 😢
The frog is a ceramic small sponge holder. They were very popular to make in the 80s in a ceramics class. Jesse is very knowledgeable about items as well. You are so lucky to have so many Goodwills to go to.
Definitely a sponge holder, that frog! I’ve sold several and I keep one in my kitchen by my sink :D he works good for the SOS pads and sponges if I shove them in longways 😅 I even have one in my booth right now!
Seeing your find of 80’s lamps I instantly thought of my Mom’s love for hers. I laughed out loud because I couldn’t stand hers and I absolutely loved yours, once you added the shades! A few seconds later, an unexpected display of Betty Boop…I couldn’t believe my eyes, she was my Mom’s fave! Thank you for the heart smiles today ~ ♥️
I love that you show a lot on the shelves 😢😢😢that make me go to thrift 😅, thanks so much i have a lot of fun going with you. The crane was so beautiful.
I was feeling a bit sad that the multi-Goodwill adventure was coming to a close ... so I like to hear that you might do a variation of it...make it SOON, Laura! And, yesl, your videos always are a treat!🤩
Wooden vases are a big thing here in North Carolina And it's possible the crack was already in there when they turned it. We see them with test tubes inside them to hold a flower and a tiny bit of water. I have started picking them up for my 3 fireplaces here. And some have cracks. We have a well known wood turner here in town and he sells them with cracks. I understand some are made from old fenceposts that go back 100 years or more. I don't pass them by.
That fish plate actually came in a set with a platter and plates with little mini bowls for melted butter anyway those are from the 60s grab them up. They are amazing!
The bird sculpture is a heron ... usually when they have the backward facing crest like that, they're herons or egrets (though some cranes have crests too, just a different shape). Forgive my ornithology nerdery. LOL Cool piece!
Oh man I would've cried happy tears to find that ship TV lamp!! I'm a sucker for a galleon....Also I think it's pretty amazing that you have Aphantasia but you can still look at something on a crowded thrift store and know it's going to style up good. 👍 PS Jesse you are hardcore kitsch magnet, just accept it! It's a essential part of being a fish platter expert.
I absolutely adore you guys❤❤ I found your channel 3 days ago and I have been bingeing since! I love thrifting and the long form content is gold🎉 especially because it’s throfting home decor. I am currently re-decorating my apartment and I want to use 90% second hand furniture ( less for the landfill) . I am learning about signatures and stamps and what to look for. Thank you 😊
I love watching you and Jesse shop together. I’m jealous because my significant other doesn’t see the value of thrifting. I’m collecting things here and there to start an eBay store. I know and my family tell me I would be successful doing with what I buy. They try to buy stuff from me but the heart that I have I just give it to them. I would rather see someone happy than the money. I always thrift for gifts instead of buying new and everyone loves the idea of what it is worth and not that I thrift it. I tell everyone I would rather have a gift from goodwill or a yard sale than new.
Your idea to to visit every store was spot on. Your idea to visit a different store everyday at open is spot on. I have spent 30+ years reselling. The 1st lesson in buying for resell is to learn your market. I discovered Ealy on that a 30 min earlier start to my day sourcing resulted in much more purchasing opportunities. Learning what to buy from each store is equally important.
I love the hand made primitive vase that has, what looks like, an African mask painted on it. It reminds me of the West African folk tales about Anansi the Spider! I grew up reading those stories as a kid. Love it so much!
Look at Jesse coming up with all the right answers! The most famous vampire designer has to be Lestat or Armand! You missed out on the mid century Paul Stanley mug! 😂😂
Frog is definitely a holder for the dish scrubber on a handle at Grandma's kitchen sink during the '80's. And I love that aqua fish dish. Always a good time thrifting with y'all!
I recently found your videos, I enjoy them so much and especially the ones when your husband is with you :) You have such a beautiful connection, fun and humor and he is so good to you. Both of you are good people and I love your picks!
The glass frogs go in the top of a large mouth vase. I have a vase with one of those frogs in it. Those tall vases are old and come in a set of three, I have 4 from the 1940’s.
The Frog is for an SOS pad…every house had one in the 70’s.
Still have the one I made in 1975.
Yes it was a common hobbiest piece to make in ceramics in the 70’s. Scrubby holder for putting next to your kitchen sink.
@@laraemitchell9064they were easy and functional 😊
Yep
I just broke mine😢had it forever
Jesse is on point this episode. He knows about bronzed baby shoes and frog sponge holders. Go Jesse!
I was thinking the same thing!
I knew the bronzed baby shoes, my parents both had theirs, my sis and I and my two kids.
Don’t forget Fish Platters !
Sold these frogs in my ceramic shop in the early 70s. They held a round scrubbie that was popular back then.
Plastic scrubby.
"That's a little bit more than I want to pay for a Patterson." 😂😂😂 The gilding on the fins. 🤣 I love Jesse's sense of humor.
I’m so glad I get to share him with all of you now 😂😂😂🙌
Who else is jealous of Laura's goodwill. Mine aren't even close to them, in quality and price's. I'm happy for you Laura don't get me wrong. But I wish they all were awesome as well. Love your shopping together too. It was a great idea Jesse.
Seriously! There is only one Goodwill store in my state (Rhode Island). I may have to take a trip to the west coast to experience this grandeur! 😂
Mine in Arkansas are a joke, but when I lived in Colorado they were much like hers.
I'm in rural Georgia. One Goodwill which is awful.
Yeah, I live in Washington and mine are outrageous in pricing.
New Zealand is the pits compared to Laura’s goodwills 😢
Frog is definitely a sponge/scrubby holder, popular in the 70’s 😊
Yes, I have a whale sponge holder in my kitchen that I love. It's all white.

My theory had been is if you find something you really like, buy it, THEN find a place for it.
Thank you for the history on Fable Cottage. Fellow Canadian
Jesse sure knows his fish plates!
😊🐟🐠

You and Jesse having fun shopping is a truly fun watch! Keep being you.👏❤️😊
I love it when Jesse shops with you. He’s a lot of fun.
I have lots of cookie jars - filled with treats for my dog Sunshine. That's why we need cookie jars = for dog cookies!!! 😊
Correct. 😆
I had a dog named Sunshine! She was the best!❤
Lol!! Jesse is a natural comedian. I'm laughing so hard at his suggestion to travel by horseback and use saddle bags. 🤣
I love when Jesse goes along. You 2 compliment each other so well. Also the series of all GWs in your area is amazing
I have been selling online since 1999 and can honestly say I have learned more from you than I have in the past almost 25 years.
Thank you so much for your insights.
On eBay? Can you pass your store name?
@@mariaroldan4200Yep, my husband started in March 1999 and I started selling in September of that year

❤ I LOVE HOW YOU JUMP BACK AND FORTH FROM STORE TO STAGING❤
YAS!!! ♥️
That black, white and red platter took my breath away!! Next week is FIRST FRIDAY everyone❗📣❗
@@ldk5149 Me too 😀. Things sell fast on her site‼️
From a Google search it looks like it is by a Jack Chaney. Don't know much else, but I have a small bowl by him. Hope you get it!
@@leerink2543 You're awesome. I appreciate that 💟
The pleated lamp shades go perfectly with the 80's lamps.
I totally agree with Jesse, you have such a good eye for spotting amazing hidden pieces that most people would not see or look at twice. I swear you’d be able to find a needle in a haystack if it was vintage lol!
😂 I’d sure give it a try!
The things Jesse knows surprises me!😁 Yes, bronze baby shoes, the frog is a holder for a kitchen scrubby.❤ The glass thing is a flower frog.🐸
We still watch Bob Ross!
I was coming home from work super stressed part of last year. Hubby would find a Bob Ross episode on UA-cam or Tubi and we would unwind with Bob before bed..... happy little trees!

Same here in Texas. 😢
Water biscuit cracker, cambozola blue cheese and fig jam on top. Oh…..chefs kiss! ❤
Jesse, you crack me up! " Cat version of the dog from Little Rascals! And kitsch can be kool, especially when it involves flamingos!
ALWAY'S listen to your gut. My Mom always said "it something grabs your eye, get it".
Yes, that way you have no regrets.
100%! You'll ALWAYS regret it if you don't follow your gut
Blue really suits you Laura, it makes your pretty blue eyes pop.
You need to do an eye makeup tutorial! It is always on point!!
Jesse's right again...the frog holds scrubbies! Very collectible these days.
Look at Jesse giving you all the knowledge about pieces this time. The frog holds a scrubby/sponge.
Lol 2 frogs today😂 1 for flowers and 1 for scrubbers.❤❤❤
Hahaha when Jesse picked up the KISS jug I said ‘oh he’s a little Kitsch’ 😂
He’s in denial 😂
The frog is a ceramic small sponge holder. They were very popular to make in the 80s in a ceramics class. Jesse is very knowledgeable about items as well. You are so lucky to have so many Goodwills to go to.
At first, I was kind of "meh" about the matching lamps you got, but seeing them with those lampshades made me love them!
I totally agree the white porcelain vase looks like Kaiser and German. I think it’s a good find.
I hope so! Still haven’t found the same design yet
I can't believe you were actually working out the whole thrifting on horseback idea! Love it!
😂😂😂 We’re weirdos!
Definitely a sponge holder, that frog! I’ve sold several and I keep one in my kitchen by my sink :D he works good for the SOS pads and sponges if I shove them in longways 😅 I even have one in my booth right now!
Team Jesse on the froggy - Yes I've seen it as a sponge or SOS pad holder :-] Thriving in wet environments. 🐸
The fish dish! I love that Jesse is the content more now. You guys are the cutest and I’m glad you are back to goodwill ❤
The pair of lamps were stunning.
I love that large white porcelain vase!!
Do you do your own listing, or do you have an assistant?
Seeing your find of 80’s lamps I instantly thought of my Mom’s love for hers. I laughed out loud because I couldn’t stand hers and I absolutely loved yours, once you added the shades! A few seconds later, an unexpected display of Betty Boop…I couldn’t believe my eyes, she was my Mom’s fave! Thank you for the heart smiles today ~ ♥️
The bowl with the handle and spout is called a batter bowl.
I have a batter bowl and love it!
The mid century little desk/ vanity !!!!
A little work-from-home for Barbie!
5:00 also very popular ceramic frog scrubbie holder. I think all of us who did ceramics made one 😁
Back when I was young, brozing the first baby shoes was a thing to do. It was the early 50’s.
Jesse is so sweet, helpful, some great knowledge real and funny) and Laura this 71 year old great grandma says he is HOT.
Blue Heron, native to PNW my favorite bird.
I’m so glad I found your channel. I LOVE watching.
Absolutely love this series I love when Jesse joins you. Cannot wait for the next Episode
Oh no... "is it candle?" Is about to take over my life hahaha. Thanks, Jesse 😂
I love that you show a lot on the shelves 😢😢😢that make me go to thrift 😅, thanks so much i have a lot of fun going with you. The crane was so beautiful.
I love the black, white, and red platter.....it's a beauty
The Bob Ross heads were chia pets ... or whatever you would call it ... for growing chia plants 😂😂 that kills me! 😅
I kind of thought that too.
I was feeling a bit sad that the multi-Goodwill adventure was coming to a close ... so I like to hear that you might do a variation of it...make it SOON, Laura! And, yesl, your videos always are a treat!🤩
I like the owl. Why didn't you get that?

The crane sculpture…bend the cattail leaves out a little ..they are a bit smushed..👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🧡
You inspired me to develop an interest in mid century pieces. Love your great positivity and your guy is out of this world nice. ❤
The bird sculpture is a heron ... usually when they have the backward facing crest like that, they're herons or egrets (though some cranes have crests too, just a different shape). Forgive my ornithology nerdery. LOL Cool piece!
Oh man I would've cried happy tears to find that ship TV lamp!! I'm a sucker for a galleon....Also I think it's pretty amazing that you have Aphantasia but you can still look at something on a crowded thrift store and know it's going to style up good. 👍 PS Jesse you are hardcore kitsch magnet, just accept it! It's a essential part of being a fish platter expert.
The dynamic duo…I love the treasures you both find but it makes it so much fun watching you both interact. The car rides are so fun to watch.
The frog is a scrubby holder, fairly common on kitchen sinks in the 80s. The amazing pottery tray with red dots looks Raku fired
Another Goodwill video. I'm really enjoying this series. ❤
I love your interaction. Makes me smile❤
Love❤ that you mention aphantasia. Jealous of the comradely the two of you have!!!
Frog usually sat by your sink. Held the metal round scrubbers.
I love that red couch! And the Gerald Butler Poster behind it 😂 Cracked me up!
Good morning Laura happy Saturday morning to you and I enjoy your channel and you are amazing supporter
I absolutely adore you guys❤❤
I found your channel 3 days ago and I have been bingeing since! I love thrifting and the long form content is gold🎉 especially because it’s throfting home decor. I am currently re-decorating my apartment and I want to use 90% second hand furniture ( less for the landfill) . I am learning about signatures and stamps and what to look for. Thank you 😊
4:59 I have the frog sponge holder but mine is green! It belonged to my grandmother. It holds a little round scrubber. 😊
The Fable cottage is now dismantled and has a new life on Denman Island in Canada , The Golf Island ! Bought by a private owner and is living in it !
Denman Island is one of several Gulf Islands on the West Coast of BC
I love it when Jesse go jaunting through the Goodwill stores with you.
I love you and Jesse picking together. Jesse is a HOOT! God bless you both

Your idea to to visit every store was spot on. Your idea to visit a different store everyday at open is spot on. I have spent 30+ years reselling. The 1st lesson in buying for resell is to learn your market. I discovered Ealy on that a 30 min earlier start to my day sourcing resulted in much more purchasing opportunities. Learning what to buy from each store is equally important.
Jesse's greatest idea!💓
I love the hand made primitive vase that has, what looks like, an African mask painted on it. It reminds me of the West African folk tales about Anansi the Spider! I grew up reading those stories as a kid. Love it so much!
That vase you casually moved aside to look at that cool candle was gorgeous!!!
Iridescent with stripes? Do you know the maker?
Look at Jesse coming up with all the right answers!
The most famous vampire designer has to be Lestat or Armand!
You missed out on the mid century Paul Stanley mug! 😂😂
I use a glass flower frog to hold pens/pencils on my desk.
I think the frog is an olive pit holder. I have seen several ones in the shapes of fish, birds and frogs. Hope it helps!
Frog is definitely a holder for the dish scrubber on a handle at Grandma's kitchen sink during the '80's. And I love that aqua fish dish. Always a good time thrifting with y'all!
L and J shopping trips are the best! You guys together doubles the fun👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻😁
I recently found your videos, I enjoy them so much and especially the ones when your husband is with you :) You have such a beautiful connection, fun and humor and he is so good to you. Both of you are good people and I love your picks!
The frog is a sponge holder when I was younger my mom used to do pottery and make those
Love your videos Laura and Jesse is pure joy. He is engaging and funny and a ray of sunshine every time he pops up.
The glass frogs go in the top of a large mouth vase. I have a vase with one of those frogs in it. Those tall vases are old and come in a set of three, I have 4 from the 1940’s.
I love your videos. Watching this one with the white,large porcelain vase, makes me think " bathroom trash can".
Laura when I can’t see the maker in the store I take a picture and zoom in lol ❤
That platter was amazing.😃
