Lucky you! Not only living on Cape Cod, but in beautiful Sandwich, surrounded by conservation land. Thank you so much for taking us on an autumn drive and antiquing. I haven’t been able to do one of my favorite things since March and you, Kirsten and Jorge, Stephanie, Michael, and Ryan have sure helped my desire to go treasure hunting and saved me from spending any money🤗
I'm so happy you enjoyed it and I feel honored to be included with that wonderful Lot @Robin Church in fact they've all helped me get though it too, as up until this post, I'd not been out anywhere save to my local market and to buy chicken feed and occasional plants at our tiny garden center :) Yes, the spending money bit would be nice NOT to do haha, tho I only spent 15 on a brand 'new' hat. And I have to tell you I was out again today and that is in an upcoming vlog, tho this time it was more 'rummage sale' quality things. But always fun to poke about! Thanks for going antiquing with me!
Here, here, Robin Church, so lovely having all these brave, (I just don’t have the confidence) people posting on UA-cam and @Chateau Life, keeping our spirits up, sharing their passions! 🙏 😊
🤔That smart algorithm connecting ppl! I did hear out hostess on this vlog mention "🌻Stephanie @ the 🏰Chateau," and now I see your list of favorite vlogs. Aha. 📲That's why this video popped up... ⚱Interesting to see East Coast antiques. This selection is quite a departure from what you would find in the West. ⚓Cool sea faring items. 🐇Love rabbits too! Yes, I'd rather💲pay Brocante prices for my goods. More of a thrift store or garage sale girl, but it was fun to look👀. Also to see a bit of the local town. ☮Peace 💛Love 🌼Beauty From Los Angeles
I’ve just found your Channel, I live in a little rural village in England, in a 17th century farm house . I really love old things , and re- purposing them to fit into my home . I also love a bargain 😊
Welcome aboard! and I LOVE England. I would love to live in a rural village in England, but alas, being American I've got NEW England instead, but at least I console myself with thinking that my village WAS England once, haha, before we 'broke from the mother land'. I plan on making more antique/thrifting videos as well, as I'm just so happy to be able to go out and about finally, tho still pretty restricted, but I'm going to go as long as they allow us. Thanks for stopping by! @Jackie wale
Thanks for my third trip with you to this antiques store. I'm interested in light fixtures. I have plenty of Nick knacks and textiles. Like blue Willow ware, esp egg cups. Always interested in pen and ink, pencil sketches and bright paintings. A really good ship in stormy seas, a plus. Enjoyed this again and again...e
On my first ever trip to the US from France I stayed with cousins in Tarrytown and I couldn't believe the houses and all the wonderful stores and eateries, amazing. They then took us upstate to their country home and once more I was in awe ! The architecture, the stores, the trees turning red and gold, the cuteness of it all. We even had to call into the sheriff's office at one point and I just stared at the sheriff and the wanted posters and the ambience. We ate in wooden built restaurants, amazing food and lovely people and in ten days I was on a cloud. I even went to a yard sale and bought two huge silver jugs and a one meter high lamp. I took the lamp apart as the body was a biscuit porcelain woman on a wooden base and put all the bits in my suitcase except the statue that I wrapped in a ton of bubble wrap and carried onto the plane like a baby. You drive was enchanting, the area is wonderful, thank you. xoxoxo
This is such a lovely comment and an amazing story @Stephanie Murray thank you so much for sharing it with us. As an American, I think sometimes we only see the beauty overseas, forgetting how much history and 'quaintness' is in our own backyards. I LOVE all the stone and brick of UK and France, but there is a charm to our New England wood and timber homes. Tho, in the south there are lovely brick and stone buildings as well. It's more that our Country is really made up of various countries as each region really has it's own feel. I happen to love New England. In some ways, my own love of England, can be found here as well in that I think our little villages are bits of the past of Old England just left to grow and change on it's own yet so far from it's mother country and then added to by all the other nations and cultures making it that much different. I hope you can return and enjoy our lovely area again.
@@DonnaDavisArt Thank YOU ! I have been to NY three times but to no other state. On my second last visit I was supposed to spend a couple of days in Mantauk but it didn't happen, maybe one day. One of the nicest things about the US is your huge outdoor spaces and the way you build near water or in the hills. When staying at my cousins home in the Adirondaks I awoke to a deer tapping on the window, the best wake up call! In one lovely wooden built restaurant all the tables were on a separate theme of animals, so cute! The waitress was charming, a bit 'hick', right out of a movie. We were only one table out of three busy and a group of noisy 'new yorkers' came in and asked (demanded) for a table and the waitress said that they were all reserved. They were mad but left so we asked the girl if she was that busy and she said ' no I didn't like the look of them' ! My leftover food was fashioned into a swan and I was told to choose any antique book on the shelf I wanted, they were all gorgeous. My whole trip including a reading of the 'Legend of Sleepy Hollow' actually in the church of Sleep Hollow with actors reading and sound effects to candlelight was incredible. ONLY good memories. God bless xx
The tour of the village was beautiful. I love to antique as well and have collected cranberry scoops, one of which was used by a child. The hat looks lovely on you! As always a great time spent with you.
So nice of you @Peggy G and I adore the hat. Haven't had a 'new' one all year so I felt I 'deserved' it haha. Oh yes cranberry scoops are pretty collectible around these parts. Oh that reminds me I need to film the cranberry harvests for vlog, if I've not missed them. Always beautiful to watch.
Glad you enjoyed it @Cyndy B I think I'll share more of it again and some other fun things round there. Really first time I've been 'out and about' in some time, what with the world as it is.
Thank you so much for the little antique shopping! I also love seeing the dirt road you walk on. Beautiful surroundings! I live north of The notches in New England, a very small town called Bethlehem, New Hampshire. One on my favorite things to do is shop in thrift stores & antique stores. I live with my husband in a old summer cottage that we have been renovating for years. It was our starter home in the late seventies. We decided to continue living here after our children grew up & moved. Each year we would have a large project on the home. Now seems like it’s just fun to decorate & maintainer the home. I also enjoy walking in the woods with my dog. I quilt, draw & enjoy the quietness of the day. Love your videos! God Bless & thank you for inspiring.
Thank you so much for sharing that wonderful bit of your life @Gina Haynes it sounds like an idyllic life to me. I've always wanted the quiet and calm. Even when I've lived in cities, it's about the slow pace of walking the parks and gardens or going to get your small bit of daily food in a basket you can carry home. The quiet and the calm has a magic many crave , but not everyone can have. I love NH and we used to ski and hike there MUCH more when our family had a little place in N. Conway. We loved it and Conway as a 'big town' enough to amuse and then skiing and covered bridges and walks with mountains in the background, but sadly, like many things, the property had to be sold to keep and hold this place. But, I am NOT complaining and am lucky that we had that option. I miss having a dog for my walks, but I'm still not ready yet. It's odd being dogless (first time EVER in my life) but I'll know when it's time. Thanks for stopping by @Gina Haynes
Yes! Thank you! @Marialyce Keane and hopefully I'll be going through with it, tho it might be put off until Spring now, but I'll be doing some other fun things in the mean time :)
The secretary desk in the shop was absolutely divine. My Papaw had such a desk for his logging/timber company but not so ornate by a long shot. Papaw's secretary desk was a darker walnut sporting a plane straight edged top and it only had some carved wood accents on either side but again with plane post legs. His chair was a quad roller looking typical for office furniture and he had an ancient leather seat cushion all crackled with a much padded homemade cushion atop it which my Mamaw made with a thick reddish rust dark purple trimmed tapestry fabric. I would sit there so often and draw. Papaw was the best ever and claimed my brother and me as his boys. I miss him dearly to this very day. ...Thanks for taking us to the shop...please do a return trip because there's so much to see which can trigger our hearts and memories. You're just wonderful, Donna Davis...just wonderful allowing us glimpses into your world and gifting us with soothing escapes from a world sometimes a bit bitter. ...Blessings Be For You & Yours.
That was a wonderful trip, such a beautiful village, so well kept, over the antique shop I do not think I would ever tire of driving around and exploring with you! Plus it was a very welcome diversion this evening as I had just seen very sad news from another channel on knitting that I follow, I really needed to see this beauty and calm before going to sleep 🙏🤗 ps love the hat!
I'm so happy I could give you a good positive note before going to sleep @lynne ireland and I'm sorry for your other youtuber, that's sad. At least we can all share good and bad in our youtube community :) I'll be doing more such videos as it was fun and so far people seem to like it :) It was like having someone with me on the trip.
Glad you enjoyed it @Eve Burdette Quinn I feel like I got to take all of you with me along the way. And I'm definitely doing more trips for all of you as it's SO nice to be able to go out again a bit more. Thanks for stopping by!
One year I went to the Lafayette Park Tour, held in June. A lovely staircase in a old home, had Ruby glass displayed in the ascending windows. The bright sun lit up the hall magnificently. Beautiful. Probably in 1988. Never have forgotten it.
So happy you purchased the hat for yourself!! What a beautiful village 😍. Can't wait for more tours. Thank you for taking us along. Have a great weekend!
Thank you Donna! A lovely way to ease into the weekend. The scenery was amazing and the antique shop was fun to browse through. Have a great weekend. 🍁🍂🐿
You are so welcome! @Mavis Pritchard and thanks for stopping by. It was so wonderful to finally be among things in a shop again, it felt strange but good at the same time.
The blue and white egg cups are for goose eggs and hens eggs. I have a couple on my dresser here in UK. Thank you for the viewing. Like you I have been starved of going and looking around junk shops etc.
Oh are they @Helen Young? I thought they were for a larger egg on one side then you flip it for smaller on the other , but I've heard a few different reasons in the comments, some saying the large size was for the egg OUT of the shell? Which seemed odd to me, but I wasn't sure. I can't imagine it'd be as much fun to dip your soldiers in the egg if it wasn't still in the shell :) We're opening up enough to make it a bit more possible now to go out. My friend has even gone out to dinner a few times, tho she said it's often just they in he restaurant for hours (not sure how long the places can remain open) as this is local places we're trying to support the best we can. Thanks for stopping by and I hope our world gets better and you can get out to a good charity shop afternoon!
My favourite place for holiday every September, except this past year! We stay in a cottage at Sagamore area and do the antique shops from Sandwich to Buzzards Bay. We have our traditional outings after 20 years of holidaying. So great to see theses places on your video. Really missed our visit this year. Hopefully the borders will be open next September. The sea glass picking awaits! Regards from Ottawa, Canada.
That is SO lovely and I'm sad you missed it this year, but 2020 has been so odd. I plan on doing more antique shops and I was going to do Buzzards Bay next week! I'm not sure if you've been to the sort of 'junk sale' they do on weekends in Wareham on Cranberry HWY, but they opened this weekend and I'm considering trying it out, if I DO and it's any good I'll put it in one of this weeks vlogs!
Those egg cups look like they are suited for duck eggs. What a lovely set. Thank you for taking us with you on your outing. My home was built in 1880 and I started total renovations just prior to the pandemic. You are giving me such inspiration.
Good ole' Dan'l webster, yes we used to go to the little pub in the lower area and have nice dinners overlooking the koi pond in the Solarium. Lovely place.
Thank you Donna. Enjoyed watching. What a wonderful area you live in, a real feel good about it. Such amazing buildings. Would love to see more. Have a lovely weekend😊😊
Glad you enjoyed it @marilyn nash and I will do more videos of the village and shops and things, as this was my first 'antique' outing since he shut down, I focused on that, but really want to share fun buts of my area I live in. The Sandwich glass museusm is on the list to go to for a vlog and also the lovely old cemetery in town on the village pond is actually lovely and serene, so as I can venture out more I shall make more of such videos, especially if others are truly interested.
Hello Donna Thankyou for sharing your journey with us. Such a beautiful village with all the colonial buildings. What wonders in the antique store , so much to see. Alas there is not enough in my bank to cover what I would love to buy. 😊
You and me both@ @jason nash it's good to go and drool however. Lots of good window shopping round these parts. I have to invest in a gimble however, as I was just editing my Monday video which has some Thrift shopping in and it's SO hard to hold the camera still and I need to stay still ON the things longer, but live and learn. And hopefully all of you will be patient with my learning curve :) ALso How are you and your mother today? Hopefully I'll see you later today (it's Sunday) at Lalande and at Dan's. :)
I am hoping to come there to Cape Cod soon to go antique shopping as well. It will be my first trip outside of Hawaii!! New York, and Pennsylvania are also on the list.
That sounds an amazing trip, you'll need a van to bring back all your treasures! Oh wait you can't drive a van to Hawaii haha Thanks for stopping by @Nalani Hao
@@DonnaDavisArt I'll rent a van. That was my idea, because we will have all purchases shipped to Hawaii. I'll be doing that in Pennsylvania and New York as well. Then on to France; Paris and the Countryside. That's the Plan! Going Fabric Shopping in the Garment District in NYC, and Fabric Shopping in PA, as well.
I really enjoyed the day out with you Donna. You live in a beautiful area and the village is stunning. Great walk round the antique shop. My eye was caught by the oil lamps at 16.28. We have a collection of over 120 of them which are all on display in our house. They range from 7' down to 2" high. My wife collects elephants and has a huge collection of over 1000 pieces. We also collect antique/vintage mechanical calculators & slide rules which we show at country fairs and rallies. Sadly no shows this year. We have somewhere in the region of 100+ calculators and 250+ slide rules Many of them are on display in the house in their own dedicated shelving units. We also collect old yachting & boating pictures. Our collection habit extends to many more things but that is a story for another time. It has been a bad year for collecting due to the virus but hopefully next year will be better. On the bright side it has saved us a lot of money. 😀 Would love to go out with you again soon. Best wishes & regards from the UK
Those sound like Amazing collections @Gary C and I adore the UK! I"m so happy you liked my visit and I'm going to go back to these places again and go slower when I get a Gimbal for my camera (which holds it more steady) but for now I'm going to keep going to various places round here to share with all of you. I'm so happy to be allowed into the shops now that I just want to visit them all, of course there are MANY shops round here so that's going to be a LOT of videos :)
I thought I collected a range of items. You have me beat. I love the thrill of the hunt but not standing in the thrift store wondering if I already have the piece of glass I'm about to buy, again. Love the UK!
@@oscargoldfield1593 Hi Oscar. We find it keeps the mind active trying to remember what do or do not have in the collections. The lamps are pretty easy but slide rules are a different matter. We have a moto. "do we need it ? NO , do we have a place for it ? PROBABLY NOT , do we like it ? YES , does it fit in the collection some where ? YES, OK we will take it". We can usually get whatever we want but will not pay what we consider to be silly prices for items unless it is very unusual or rare. We do keep a lot of pictures on our phones of our collections so it helps to rule out some items. If we do buy an item and find we already have one identical it is a bonus in our book because sometimes a pair is nicer. 😀 Or we can always trade it later. Good luck with your collecting. regards from the UK
You are so welcome! I shall try to get to our other places, I'm excited to get back out into it. It's been a long Summer with no antiques or thrift finds :)
Wonderful start to my day. Your small town is just a dream. My personal favorite was the Birdseye maple secretary. It would go so nicely with my heirloom Birdseye 🍁 dresser.
I just came across your channel, so funny, i live in forestdale/sandwich.. to see our town thru someone else’s eyes....I have been here 30 years and have never taken the time to explore. Thank you
I collect Blue Willow, it was my grandmothers China when I was growing up, my daughter bought me a few pieces for my Birthday now I’m hooked I find a lot of pieces on FB marketplace, I know right 😂🤗🙏🏻👍🏻💕
Isn't it just the perfect classic combo? And you can find so many things in that colour and they all look good together :) Thanks for stopping by @Gina Maria
I love antiqueing, such a beautiful vlog Donna, enjoyed my time shopping with you. So happy to have found your channel. Looking forward to more of your lovely vlogs..
Thanks so much 😊 I also love the antique shops in England so much and last time I was there, in Kent, I found some lovely little miniature paintings and also stone garden statues. For some reason I find these two beloved things much cheaper in England than I do in my own area of New England. I hope to get back to the UK some day...When our world settles down :) I will be trying to work my way down Cape and go to as many antique shops as I can manage to film whilst we are still more open in my Country.
I will do that @Joanne Emerick and hope to do more outings. Yes, I realized I moved too fast haha, but it was my first time and I think I need a gimble, but I have to save my pennies to get one. I'm glad you liked it and I'll do more and go around the town more and such and possibly visit the other towns on the cape and such.
Good eye, it has an interesting mix of things and has had some nice art in the past, it was actually rather bare since lockdown. They usually have a pretty good amount of well known portraiture too. Thanks for stopping by @claudia Retana
Hello what a wonderful trip down memory lane. Grew up spending lots of time on the cape. You may know one of my classmates. He is the dj for cape cod. Sandwich is so quaint. Well, except for tourist season lol
Dj for which station? Although I might not know him, but my niece may she used to be into the local radio scene a bit more. Welcome and yes tourist season isn't always great, but it is when you have a cottage to rent LOL. This Summer was very odd.
Love that piano pecking, do you like the olde style Victoria magazine, not Victoria Bliss, your outer wear reminds me of it. I love to look at old houses, in old towns. I like to use what I buy..... thanks for the views of things and nature....e
🍁 I really enjoyed your drive into town and the walk through the antique shop... its been a long time since I've been through a shop like that, too! I especially loved the tiger maple secretary desk, beautiful. Your hat suits you, very chic. Great vlog today. 😊🍁
Glad you enjoyed @Beverley Wittig it was SO divine to be out again. How I've missed being in antique shops! I've had NO sales nor auctions all Summer. IF they ever return I'd love to take you all along, Auctions are pretty fun around here, we've a couple nice auction houses and even one here in town.
@@Booklady...116 I really want to do that in the future, I'm not sure when they will open again, but we've 2 on Cape that I like to frequent, well I did in the before times the Old Times, I guess we can call it :)
When we lived in Eastham I remember less expensive places, I even remember the drama when our old local video rental was suffering when Blockbuster arrived, we were shocked by a 'chain' showing up. I also remember, when I lived in Hyannisport, we used to walk to a little shop that was a tiny market that had dusty tinned foods and once the 'real estate boom' hit and everything quadrupled in price, in became a fancy dog boutique haha. The progress of time I guess?
Thank you so much, yes I really love it here, Coastal New England is my favourite bit of the US , for me anyway. Some don't like the seasons, but I really need them :) Thanks for visiting today @Angela Pa and gong antiquing with me :)
Could be I've heard that , I've heard they are for goose eggs, so who knows? If they go down in price I'll get them and then I can put whatever I like in them , either side haha. Thanks for stopping by @Rosemary Wascher
Have you thot of a big wooden beam to match other beams in the cottage...as a mantle...or maybe some big trunks from all the trees in your area...or something from a boat with a natical them? Just sharing ideas...hope you had a lovely day out
Oh you are so sweet @Randie Wasserman it's funny as they say we always hate the sound of our own voice, and I'm no different there, but I had to get over it as I hear myself everyday now as I'm editing haha.
Do you ever buy directly from the fishermen? We have egg cups like that. If you have 2 boiled eggs for breakfast, you heep one warm inside the large lower section while the egg you are eating sits in the small top. That yellow ware jug would be fantastic on the stove holding your cooking untensils. Hope the bunny has a new home... Have a great weekend!
Sometimes and actually before the grandfather I never like to talk about was still alive and living here, he had some of the oyster grants as part of the property we had to sell to keep this place, so we used to have shellfish all the time, but now we can get them at a good deal if we ask and our neighbours (who own the dock I shared) will often share some if we ask. Tho , when I get the little cheap license at town hall I just go out and dig my own right on our beach an din the sand, you have to dig for them (they are not in the cages) but that's how they did it for centuries and I love mussels and we have an endless supply of those! I love seafood. Thanks for stopping by @Lake Lili And I agree about the yelloware on the stove, darling idea!
It really is! At least for me, it's a sleepy town sometimes, but in High Summer when Cape Cod is in it''s peak season (tho not this year) it can become crowded, but still lovely, with little art fairs and such happening out of doors (again not this year) :/ Thanks for stopping by @LaReynedEpee
More memories - Dan'l Webster Inn was a fav of my parents. Many wonderful meals there. I grew up in Barnstable but spent a lot of times in Sandwich. I have ancestors buried there too! My father's family has roots on the Cape since 1600s so I feel this is my home - in my blood. Miss it dearly ( don't miss the summer traffic!) Thank you for all the memories.
@@DonnaDavisArt I'm glad you're making the best of the situation we are all in with Mr. Covid. lol Thank you again for taking time out to be able to put all this together for our viewing pleasure. 😊 Can't wait for more fun and creative vloging from your you. Sending love from 🌴Florida 💕
What a beautiful drive and area you live in.....Im watching from the Oregon Coast. so far away but very fun to see a new area. Love the antique store you showed...nice interesting things. Happy Fall. I just subscribed
Thanks for watching! And for subscribing @Denise Baker I do love our area and New England is especially magical in the Autumn, I think. As long as we keep opening up more, I'll be sharing more towns and such around the Cape so it's going to be fun.
Wish the tour of antique shop had been slower and not so jumpy . I saw a lot I like but passed it by ! Also couldn't hear very well. Wish I could see in person with a boat load of money !!
Sorry about that I'm still new to filming on location, but when I can afford a gimbal it will be less shaky and also as I shoot more outtings like this I'll improve just from practice. Don't worry I WILL go here again. In fact I might make another trip ONCE I have my gimbal just to do a nice slow walk through, maybe a couple trips so I could do half the shop one vlog and the other on a second one. I'm gald you enjoyed the trip tho it was shaky :)
Oh that was fun! Great shop tour and drive thru your area. I will be looking for kindling today for my new stainless steal mini camp stove. Prepping for winter storm power outages! We had our first frost this morning...burrrrrr!
I'm glad you liked it @Debra Pate as I was editing I thought, "heavens, I like to drone on don't I" and I edited out a LOT. It's my first real outting for the vlog and I need to get the sound to work better, though it is rather hard to talk with a scarf wrapped round one's face like a bandit LOL. Oh I hope our first frost is still a couple of weeks at least off, we're having a nice storm right now, just rain not too much wind and the clouds and sea are amazing. We deal with outtages here a LOT in Winter both from ICE (when we get cold Winters with heavy ice which isn't always) and with snow. So we've a generator and such. We've been out for a week straight before, part of what you get staying in a Summer house through the Winter haha.
Ms. Pate, I'll have to admit, gathering kindling for winter is a phrase I have never uttered. Can't image that as a reality. As you run to the house for heat, we run to the house for the air conditioner. Ha! It would be nice to have longer, cooler months. Good luck this winter and stay safe. Oscar from GA.
@@oscargoldfield1593 thank you Oscar. My daughter and her 5 children ages 5-17 live with me so I try to have "all the bases covered" going into winter. With all the political problems, the economy and virus, home schooling all 5, its a busy house. All good wishes are appreciated! lol 😉
Hello. I have just discovered your channel by chance. We have a place in Brewster so Cape Cod is near and dear to my heart. I love the beauty of every quaint little town not to mention the antique shopping. Thank you for sharing your outing with all of us.
You are so Welcome @Rosaria Siragusa and I'll eventually make it to Brewster for the vlog, especially the general store on 6A. I used to live in Eastaham as well and love that end of the Cape, really all of the Cape is so special and so different in good ways.
Very Classy Antique shop, great items and atmosphere. I would have been hard-pressed to purchase the jug-face pitcher or tabletop toaster... or the sheep.. or the tall decoy. So many choices! I must do an antiques shopping trip video here in my area, I go at least once a month. The hat suits you very well.
We have some rather nice shops here abouts, but this little place has always been a favourite. I've got a few things here and there, as their prices are often dear, but one can find good deals like my hat was only $15. And normally I haggle, but not now, as the poor vendors need every penny, I know! I can't stop thinking about that pitcher and when I was editing I thought, "Why wasn't it cheaper!" but we'll see, the price might go down. I love having things to make floral arrangements in and it'd look SO good full of grasses, like funny hair! Yes , do an antique run. I'm going to do more, as I can, still we're just really opening carefully in my State. I'm going to do a more 'rag tag' thrift sale for a future vlog as our sale like that (only open weekends) is finally opening back up this weekend. Thank you, I LOVE the hat, the feathers are perfection! I bought it for my tea, but I know I'll wear it more often I just love hats :)
@@DonnaDavisArt I just looked on Ebay and saw the same jugface for $50 (or Make Offer) with $9 shipping; but there is one with long sideburns and he looks just like a sailor, He is perfect for your Boathouse! He is $59 and free shipping ...he has your name all over him. Go and look when you have a chance under: majolica face pitcher
@@DonnaDavisArt I understand that! I can't bid on one because I just bought an Acorn Teapot to feature in a video on Acorns; but wouldn't it be fun to have a collection of those face Pitchers!
@@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow YES and I know I'm going to end up with one before the year is out LOL. Oh I can't wait for that video and the acorn tea pot! Adorable. I might go back and get that little Punchinello creamer tho, he was sweet.
Cool hat. Thanks for the trip, I too have been shut up since the beginning of March and remain locked up except for doctor appointments, strange world.
It's such an odd time and strange world. I hope your area gets better so you can get out some. Let's hope 2021 is a bit better, thanks for stopping by @SuS Prime
Oh yes, I know but I've not been out to anything, except grocery store garden center, since March! We used to have an AMAZING one in Fall River, but not sure it's still there and when we lived in Boston there was an amazing one near by. Thanks for the tip tho and I'm also going next to a place that is much more 'junk things' at better prices, but I figured first trip out wanted to go to my favourite place to look about. Where in MA are you?
Hi Donna you really do live in the most beautiful part of America. Would you like to swap Lol? :) Thanks for taking us out and about in your beautiful little village, Cape Cod really is my favorite part of America - just love the close relationship with our UK history - love Boston too. Take care and hopefully catch up later.
Oh that's kind, well I think it's rather lovely here and would I swap for the UK? YES, though maybe Kent or Devon tho I've been looking at Scotland again haha. Have to always cottage shop, right? I love Boston as well, we used to live there too, but that was awhile ago. Yes, my village has a little sign that reads "Sandwich Massachusetts Twinned with Sandwich Kent" and I love Sandwich Kent actually was there last time I was in UK in 2018. Thanks for stopping by and good chatting with you @Phillip Nixon on Doing it ourselves :)
I hope you picked that mantle up. How many times we delay, go back and it's gone. I actually just purchased a hutch, not antique, for $35 at a Salvation Army, to style as a mantel using candles.
I did not @GaslitWorld f. Melissa B tho last I was there it was still there. I just wasn't sure if it would fit where I wanted it, but have since considered it for the kitchen bit of the boathouse WHEN I can finally get to it. I'm trying to save for a roof and some windows as well, so I have the purse strings quiet tight at present :)
Ha ha, Yes, I know now @Lavinia Gray as I was editing I thought, well of course. And also a few people in comments have mentioned it as well, which is great. That's why it's fun to take All of you with me so I can learn more along the way :) Thanks for stopping by.
I love Chatham @John Blumberg and will be making a trip out that way at some point, I've a few more places round this end of the Cape first. I'm so happy all of you like antiquing as now I've some antiquing friends from all over the world! :)
Merry Christmas from Florida. I love window shopping on your shop tours. Love the hat, I also have a passion for Borzoi's. Had them for years, wonderful kind sweet dogs that love to lay around , or go for lond walks. Borzoi Rescue has them for adoption of all ages. Best of Health in the New Year.
Oh I'd love to adopt a Borzoi, might have to put that on the possibility list :) Today's video (Sunday) will be a premier with chat so if you'd like to stop by it's at 1pm EST usa time, maybe I'll see you there @Barton Hatfield :)
Thank you! Will do! Oh I love turtles too and will do . I've just ordered a Gimbal to better film (less shaky) and plan on going more detailed through all our antique and thrift shops we have A LOT of them :) We also have some amazing sea turtles , terrapins, I see when I'm kayaking and of course we've native box turtles in the garden and wood, tho they are technically tortoises. Sometimes I see those amazing old giant turtle shells collected during the Victorian days at Antique shops, they are amazing. Thanks for stopping by come back again @Purple Love
I LOVED this! I’ve never been to the Cape! I live in Seacoast NH. The sound of those buoy bellls, the sight of the water, but mostly All the nautical things in the shop! I too love clocks, have one waiting on a repair. Miss the ticking in my home 😕.
I love NH and sometimes I forget the lovely coastline there as well, as we always went to NH to the mountains for skiing and hiking! Such a beautiful State. Really, we're lucky, we New Englanders, our tiny little bit of the country is beautiful and full of history :)
Hello, Donna Davis! How nice to discover your UA-cam channel today! You& I have chatted together a bit in The Chateau Diaries threads, so it's really nice to go on a jaunt with you to see your village & your local antique shop! Thank you for sharing your sweet adventure! I've subscribed now, & look forward to enjoying more journeys with you via UA-cam. 🍀😘🍀 🙏🌿🌻🌿😊🌿🌻🌿🙏
Oh thank you! And another lovely Chat Chum, I've met so many amazing virtual friends thanks to Lalande chats, Stephanie is so special and really my determination to keep vlogging came from the inspiration and joy I get from her Channel and chats! I hope you come back and I'll see you in the chats as well :) @Sarah schweiler
It is VERY black at night for sure, no street lights. And our neighbours own the house next door to us (as well as their other house) and they have their yardman/gardner live in and he ploughs are street for us, there are only a few of us here year round, most are usually only here in Summer, so everything is boarded up and such so when we lose power, we're the lost bit the town attends to because well, most houses are empty then, so generator and such and have been without power for a week or so , but it can also be kind of fun and Little house on the prairie then too lol have to make lemonade out of those lemons, eh? Thanks for stopping by @Suzanne Lawson
Donna your replies are so interesting . Now I must read all of them .lol If you are doing vlogs about the towns on the east coast would it be possible for you to do one about the Ogunquit museum of American art . It’s a gem and I miss it so much.
That would be a lovely road trip @Angela Pa, though Maine, that bit anyway, is almost three hours from here and until our lockdown gets a bit better, it might be sometime. BUT, I'd LOVE to go and do some road trips to make vlogs about those things and we LOVE Maine! For now I might do more local ones, which are tiny, but cute. There is a fun whaling museum as well, that could be a fun vlog, I love going there.
You and me both! It's still undecided but in time...WE have to be patient around here going at a snails pace, but at least it allows me to change my mind a thousand times before we do anything ;)
Back the third time! I love this darling, lovely but pricey antique shop. I would leave Sandwich in a u haul and a credit card for gas in my wallet. Thank you again Donna!
I know it's one of my favourites, not only because it's my go to , but I've had many hours and years shopping this place and when there alone shopping I can still fill the laughter of sharing it with friends and family that are gone or restricted away. Funny, that, but a place like an antique shop can feel like going to a part of your 'home' so much more than you'll ever feel in a large box store :) @Kathy Bruce
I just happened to find your video and I love it! I live in beautiful Sandwich for almost 40 years now. One correction is that Sandwich was founded in 1637, making it the oldest town on Cape Cod. Thank you for the lovely tour.
I always thought it was founded on September 3, 1639 and we have founders day on that date. What date did I say, gosh? Aren't we lucky to live in such a town? Welcome and I'm glad you found me :)
@@DonnaDavisArt It was founded in 1637 and incorporated in 1639. Yes, I agree just an absolutely beautiful town, especially at Christmas time. I’m glad I found you too.
Absolutely Fabulous Donna🤩..I loved the Tour from your home to the village ..Beautiful part of the country that you live in ..The Antique Store was divine .I live out of Cheyenne Wyoming ..Sadly this area of the Midwest..doesnt have a variety of good antique stores..Nor the history . ..As a transplant New Zealander..I miss the lovely stores we have at home ...plus the ocean 😁. I will look forward to following your posts..Thankyou 💞🤩💐
I'm so glad you enjoyed it @Lyn Ludwig and happy to share more in the future. You must miss NZ which I can imagine is breathtakingly beautiful, I've never been but I've seen many photos/films there and it looks so magical and lovely. Hope to see you again.
I'm watching this Nov 2024. Enjoyable, interesting, fun video! (but at times too fast and blurry) I love early antiques, the history, and knowing that someone used the item, I now hold in my hand, 100 -200 years ago. 'survivors'!
Really interesting vlog today. You live in such a pretty area. Loved the antique shopping although I'm not really a fan of ornaments, dust collectors I call them. Still love looking though. Thanks for taking us along with you. Love the hat.
Thanks for watching! @JMK not me I'm definitely an unapologetic Maximalists haha, though to be fair I did only buy the hat, but that was more to do with my empty purse then my desires, lol.
Daily I wait for visits from LeLande friends. But mainly your beach-world. Please read more poetry and stories to me. No one else does this. When my daughter was 15, we flew to Boston from WV and rented a large RV to head to Prince Ed Island so she could see where Ann of Green Gables lived. we first drove to the Cape where I lost a rear view mirror on the tiny road. but we continued to her goal!
That is a lovely story @carolyn gross and we have dear friends whose family summer house is on the sea in Nova Scotia and their view looks out onto PEI in the distance, magical place. I will read more poetry and stories if people like, it's funny as I love to read aloud but usually I've only my pets to read too, haha, as I'd not bother hubby with it. SO, I'll do more, maybe I'll ask for suggestions., Do you have a favorite poem or passage?
I stumbled upon your Chanel and I’m intrigued. What a charming village. Thanks for sharing 🥰
Welcome!
Lucky you! Not only living on Cape Cod, but in beautiful Sandwich, surrounded by conservation land. Thank you so much for taking us on an autumn drive and antiquing. I haven’t been able to do one of my favorite things since March and you, Kirsten and Jorge, Stephanie, Michael, and Ryan have sure helped my desire to go treasure hunting and saved me from spending any money🤗
I'm so happy you enjoyed it and I feel honored to be included with that wonderful Lot @Robin Church in fact they've all helped me get though it too, as up until this post, I'd not been out anywhere save to my local market and to buy chicken feed and occasional plants at our tiny garden center :)
Yes, the spending money bit would be nice NOT to do haha, tho I only spent 15 on a brand 'new' hat. And I have to tell you I was out again today and that is in an upcoming vlog, tho this time it was more 'rummage sale' quality things. But always fun to poke about! Thanks for going antiquing with me!
Here, here, Robin Church, so lovely having all these brave, (I just don’t have the confidence) people posting on UA-cam and @Chateau Life, keeping our spirits up, sharing their passions! 🙏 😊
🤔That smart algorithm connecting ppl! I did hear out hostess on this vlog mention "🌻Stephanie @ the 🏰Chateau," and now I see your list of favorite vlogs. Aha. 📲That's why this video popped up...
⚱Interesting to see East Coast antiques. This selection is quite a departure from what you would find in the West. ⚓Cool sea faring items. 🐇Love rabbits too!
Yes, I'd rather💲pay Brocante prices for my goods. More of a thrift store or garage sale girl, but it was fun to look👀. Also to see a bit of the local town.
☮Peace 💛Love 🌼Beauty
From Los Angeles
I’ve just found your Channel, I live in a little rural village in England, in a 17th century farm house .
I really love old things , and re- purposing them to fit into my home .
I also love a bargain 😊
Welcome aboard! and I LOVE England. I would love to live in a rural village in England, but alas, being American I've got NEW England instead, but at least I console myself with thinking that my village WAS England once, haha, before we 'broke from the mother land'.
I plan on making more antique/thrifting videos as well, as I'm just so happy to be able to go out and about finally, tho still pretty restricted, but I'm going to go as long as they allow us.
Thanks for stopping by! @Jackie wale
@Isitreall Oh I usually put it in text at end, but I suppose I could say it at beginning? I never thought of that LOL
Thanks for my third trip with you to this antiques store. I'm interested in light fixtures. I have plenty of Nick knacks and textiles. Like blue Willow ware, esp egg cups. Always interested in pen and ink, pencil sketches and bright paintings. A really good ship in stormy seas, a plus. Enjoyed this again and again...e
On my first ever trip to the US from France I stayed with cousins in Tarrytown and I couldn't believe the houses and all the wonderful stores and eateries, amazing. They then took us upstate to their country home and once more I was in awe ! The architecture, the stores, the trees turning red and gold, the cuteness of it all. We even had to call into the sheriff's office at one point and I just stared at the sheriff and the wanted posters and the ambience. We ate in wooden built restaurants, amazing food and lovely people and in ten days I was on a cloud. I even went to a yard sale and bought two huge silver jugs and a one meter high lamp. I took the lamp apart as the body was a biscuit porcelain woman on a wooden base and put all the bits in my suitcase except the statue that I wrapped in a ton of bubble wrap and carried onto the plane like a baby. You drive was enchanting, the area is wonderful, thank you. xoxoxo
This is such a lovely comment and an amazing story @Stephanie Murray thank you so much for sharing it with us. As an American, I think sometimes we only see the beauty overseas, forgetting how much history and 'quaintness' is in our own backyards. I LOVE all the stone and brick of UK and France, but there is a charm to our New England wood and timber homes. Tho, in the south there are lovely brick and stone buildings as well. It's more that our Country is really made up of various countries as each region really has it's own feel.
I happen to love New England. In some ways, my own love of England, can be found here as well in that I think our little villages are bits of the past of Old England just left to grow and change on it's own yet so far from it's mother country and then added to by all the other nations and cultures making it that much different.
I hope you can return and enjoy our lovely area again.
@@DonnaDavisArt Thank YOU ! I have been to NY three times but to no other state. On my second last visit I was supposed to spend a couple of days in Mantauk but it didn't happen, maybe one day. One of the nicest things about the US is your huge outdoor spaces and the way you build near water or in the hills. When staying at my cousins home in the Adirondaks I awoke to a deer tapping on the window, the best wake up call! In one lovely wooden built restaurant all the tables were on a separate theme of animals, so cute! The waitress was charming, a bit 'hick', right out of a movie. We were only one table out of three busy and a group of noisy 'new yorkers' came in and asked (demanded) for a table and the waitress said that they were all reserved. They were mad but left so we asked the girl if she was that busy and she said ' no I didn't like the look of them' ! My leftover food was fashioned into a swan and I was told to choose any antique book on the shelf I wanted, they were all gorgeous. My whole trip including a reading of the 'Legend of Sleepy Hollow' actually in the church of Sleep Hollow with actors reading and sound effects to candlelight was incredible. ONLY good memories. God bless xx
What a beautiful little town, the scenery is gorgeous and reminds me of summers in Maine.........beautiful antiques.................Donna in Toronto
Glad you enjoyed it
The tour of the village was beautiful. I love to antique as well and have collected cranberry scoops, one of which was used by a child.
The hat looks lovely on you! As always a great time spent with you.
So nice of you @Peggy G and I adore the hat. Haven't had a 'new' one all year so I felt I 'deserved' it haha. Oh yes cranberry scoops are pretty collectible around these parts. Oh that reminds me I need to film the cranberry harvests for vlog, if I've not missed them. Always beautiful to watch.
Thank you Donna, that was fun. I enjoyed seeing your town.
Glad you enjoyed it @Cyndy B I think I'll share more of it again and some other fun things round there. Really first time I've been 'out and about' in some time, what with the world as it is.
Thank you so much for the little antique shopping! I also love seeing the dirt road you walk on. Beautiful surroundings! I live north of The notches in New England, a very small town called Bethlehem, New Hampshire. One on my favorite things to do is shop in thrift stores & antique stores. I live with my husband in a old summer cottage that we have been renovating for years. It was our starter home in the late seventies. We decided to continue living here after our children grew up & moved. Each year we would have a large project on the home. Now seems like it’s just fun to decorate & maintainer the home. I also enjoy walking in the woods with my dog. I quilt, draw & enjoy the quietness of the day. Love your videos! God Bless & thank you for inspiring.
Thank you so much for sharing that wonderful bit of your life @Gina Haynes it sounds like an idyllic life to me. I've always wanted the quiet and calm. Even when I've lived in cities, it's about the slow pace of walking the parks and gardens or going to get your small bit of daily food in a basket you can carry home. The quiet and the calm has a magic many crave , but not everyone can have.
I love NH and we used to ski and hike there MUCH more when our family had a little place in N. Conway. We loved it and Conway as a 'big town' enough to amuse and then skiing and covered bridges and walks with mountains in the background, but sadly, like many things, the property had to be sold to keep and hold this place. But, I am NOT complaining and am lucky that we had that option.
I miss having a dog for my walks, but I'm still not ready yet. It's odd being dogless (first time EVER in my life) but I'll know when it's time.
Thanks for stopping by @Gina Haynes
Vintage stove in the Boat House turned into a tiny house. Yes!!!!! Love your ideas. Yes yes yes. Please!
Yes! Thank you! @Marialyce Keane and hopefully I'll be going through with it, tho it might be put off until Spring now, but I'll be doing some other fun things in the mean time :)
This video was awesome, really enjoyed it, felt like I was out with a friend.
I'm so glad!
The secretary desk in the shop was absolutely divine. My Papaw had such a desk for his logging/timber company but not so ornate by a long shot. Papaw's secretary desk was a darker walnut sporting a plane straight edged top and it only had some carved wood accents on either side but again with plane post legs. His chair was a quad roller looking typical for office furniture and he had an ancient leather seat cushion all crackled with a much padded homemade cushion atop it which my Mamaw made with a thick reddish rust dark purple trimmed tapestry fabric. I would sit there so often and draw. Papaw was the best ever and claimed my brother and me as his boys. I miss him dearly to this very day. ...Thanks for taking us to the shop...please do a return trip because there's so much to see which can trigger our hearts and memories. You're just wonderful, Donna Davis...just wonderful allowing us glimpses into your world and gifting us with soothing escapes from a world sometimes a bit bitter. ...Blessings Be For You & Yours.
That was a wonderful trip, such a beautiful village, so well kept, over the antique shop I do not think I would ever tire of driving around and exploring with you!
Plus it was a very welcome diversion this evening as I had just seen very sad news from another channel on knitting that I follow, I really needed to see this beauty and calm before going to sleep 🙏🤗 ps love the hat!
I'm so happy I could give you a good positive note before going to sleep @lynne ireland and I'm sorry for your other youtuber, that's sad. At least we can all share good and bad in our youtube community :) I'll be doing more such videos as it was fun and so far people seem to like it :) It was like having someone with me on the trip.
@@DonnaDavisArt 🙏 it was very much like being with you too😊
Just what was needed after a hectic day. A cup of tea and a stroll around your antique journey. Thank you . Love the fire surround.
Glad you enjoyed it @Eve Burdette Quinn I feel like I got to take all of you with me along the way. And I'm definitely doing more trips for all of you as it's SO nice to be able to go out again a bit more. Thanks for stopping by!
One year I went to the Lafayette Park Tour, held in June. A lovely staircase in a old home, had Ruby glass displayed in the ascending windows. The bright sun lit up the hall magnificently. Beautiful. Probably in 1988. Never have forgotten it.
Oh wow!
New to your channel. Loved the mini travelogue. You have such a soothing voice. Greatly enjoyed shopping with you.
Thank you so much!
So happy you purchased the hat for yourself!! What a beautiful village 😍. Can't wait for more tours. Thank you for taking us along. Have a great weekend!
Thank you so much! And I'm glad you liked it, I really will do more little tour videos as I can and I'm happy people like them @Kami Castillo
Thank you Donna! A lovely way to ease into the weekend. The scenery was amazing and the antique shop was fun to browse through. Have a great weekend. 🍁🍂🐿
You are so welcome! @Mavis Pritchard and thanks for stopping by. It was so wonderful to finally be among things in a shop again, it felt strange but good at the same time.
Love the lamps and stained glass and......
The blue and white egg cups are for goose eggs and hens eggs. I have a couple on my dresser here in UK. Thank you for the viewing. Like you I have been starved of going and looking around junk shops etc.
Oh are they @Helen Young? I thought they were for a larger egg on one side then you flip it for smaller on the other , but I've heard a few different reasons in the comments, some saying the large size was for the egg OUT of the shell? Which seemed odd to me, but I wasn't sure. I can't imagine it'd be as much fun to dip your soldiers in the egg if it wasn't still in the shell :)
We're opening up enough to make it a bit more possible now to go out. My friend has even gone out to dinner a few times, tho she said it's often just they in he restaurant for hours (not sure how long the places can remain open) as this is local places we're trying to support the best we can.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope our world gets better and you can get out to a good charity shop afternoon!
That was delightful. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it!
My favourite place for holiday every September, except this past year! We stay in a cottage at Sagamore area and do the antique shops from Sandwich to Buzzards Bay. We have our traditional outings after 20 years of holidaying. So great to see theses places on your video. Really missed our visit this year. Hopefully the borders will be open next September. The sea glass picking awaits! Regards from Ottawa, Canada.
That is SO lovely and I'm sad you missed it this year, but 2020 has been so odd. I plan on doing more antique shops and I was going to do Buzzards Bay next week! I'm not sure if you've been to the sort of 'junk sale' they do on weekends in Wareham on Cranberry HWY, but they opened this weekend and I'm considering trying it out, if I DO and it's any good I'll put it in one of this weeks vlogs!
Too Lovely...All of it! 💓
I'm so happy you enjoyed it @Sue Sullivan-Miller
Those egg cups look like they are suited for duck eggs. What a lovely set. Thank you for taking us with you on your outing. My home was built in 1880 and I started total renovations just prior to the pandemic. You are giving me such inspiration.
Oh, you make homesick. I use to live inPocasset and loved having dinner on Friday night's at the Denial Webster in their bar area. So cozy.
Good ole' Dan'l webster, yes we used to go to the little pub in the lower area and have nice dinners overlooking the koi pond in the Solarium. Lovely place.
“The JOY of being here” 🥰❤️😍
That is so sweet, thank you @Susan Honkoski the best compliment :)
Gorgeous pieces in the antique shop, thank you for sharing your adventures!
Glad you like them!
It's Beautiful, Thank You for this Inspiring Video! I LOVE GARAGE SALES, and Antique Shops.
You are so welcome!
I love how you gasp each time you find something lovely, lol...
I can't contain myself LOL it felt so good to be out amongst lovely things for sale (even if I didn't buy them all) :)
Great channel - relaxing and interesting at the same time - New subscriber from Scotland
Welcome aboard! And I adore Scotland :)
My trip to Scotland got squashed by Covid, but we are looking forward to next year and the charity shops over there. Stay warm and safe.
I love the village of sandwich my daughter. And I were there about 4 years ago hope we get a chance to visit again.
I hope so too, @Terisa Mccammon
Thank you Donna. Enjoyed watching. What a wonderful area you live in, a real feel good about it. Such amazing buildings. Would love to see more. Have a lovely weekend😊😊
Glad you enjoyed it @marilyn nash and I will do more videos of the village and shops and things, as this was my first 'antique' outing since he shut down, I focused on that, but really want to share fun buts of my area I live in. The Sandwich glass museusm is on the list to go to for a vlog and also the lovely old cemetery in town on the village pond is actually lovely and serene, so as I can venture out more I shall make more of such videos, especially if others are truly interested.
@@DonnaDavisArt Thank you Donna, that would be lovely😊😊
Hello Donna Thankyou for sharing your journey with us. Such a beautiful village with all the colonial buildings. What wonders in the antique store , so much to see. Alas there is not enough in my bank to cover what I would love to buy. 😊
You and me both@ @jason nash it's good to go and drool however. Lots of good window shopping round these parts. I have to invest in a gimble however, as I was just editing my Monday video which has some Thrift shopping in and it's SO hard to hold the camera still and I need to stay still ON the things longer, but live and learn. And hopefully all of you will be patient with my learning curve :) ALso How are you and your mother today? Hopefully I'll see you later today (it's Sunday) at Lalande and at Dan's. :)
I am hoping to come there to Cape Cod soon to go antique shopping as well. It will be my first trip outside of Hawaii!! New York, and Pennsylvania are also on the list.
That sounds an amazing trip, you'll need a van to bring back all your treasures! Oh wait you can't drive a van to Hawaii haha Thanks for stopping by @Nalani Hao
@@DonnaDavisArt I'll rent a van. That was my idea, because we will have all purchases shipped to Hawaii. I'll be doing that in Pennsylvania and New York as well. Then on to France; Paris and the Countryside. That's the Plan! Going Fabric Shopping in the Garment District in NYC, and Fabric Shopping in PA, as well.
@@nalanihao9044 Wow that sounds like a magical journey! you'll have to document it with video!
@@DonnaDavisArt yes, maybe I will. Good idea!
New subscriber! I'm from Maine, So glad to see someone from New England! Lovely little shop, looks like a wonderful place to live! Have a great day!
Welcome! And I Love Maine.
You might not have deep pockets, but you have a beautiful piece of property, private drive, seaside idle, Bunny Hall. You lucky girl.
I Count my blessings every day @evelyn byrd :)
I really enjoyed the day out with you Donna. You live in a beautiful area and the village is stunning. Great walk round the antique shop. My eye was caught by the oil lamps at 16.28. We have a collection of over 120 of them which are all on display in our house. They range from 7' down to 2" high. My wife collects elephants and has a huge collection of over 1000 pieces. We also collect antique/vintage mechanical calculators & slide rules which we show at country fairs and rallies. Sadly no shows this year. We have somewhere in the region of 100+ calculators and 250+ slide rules Many of them are on display in the house in their own dedicated shelving units. We also collect old yachting & boating pictures. Our collection habit extends to many more things but that is a story for another time. It has been a bad year for collecting due to the virus but hopefully next year will be better. On the bright side it has saved us a lot of money. 😀 Would love to go out with you again soon. Best wishes & regards from the UK
Those sound like Amazing collections @Gary C and I adore the UK!
I"m so happy you liked my visit and I'm going to go back to these places again and go slower when I get a Gimbal for my camera (which holds it more steady) but for now I'm going to keep going to various places round here to share with all of you. I'm so happy to be allowed into the shops now that I just want to visit them all, of course there are MANY shops round here so that's going to be a LOT of videos :)
I thought I collected a range of items. You have me beat. I love the thrill of the hunt but not standing in the thrift store wondering if I already have the piece of glass I'm about to buy, again. Love the UK!
@@oscargoldfield1593 Hi Oscar. We find it keeps the mind active trying to remember what do or do not have in the collections. The lamps are pretty easy but slide rules are a different matter. We have a moto. "do we need it ? NO , do we have a place for it ? PROBABLY NOT , do we like it ? YES , does it fit in the collection some where ? YES, OK we will take it". We can usually get whatever we want but will not pay what we consider to be silly prices for items unless it is very unusual or rare. We do keep a lot of pictures on our phones of our collections so it helps to rule out some items. If we do buy an item and find we already have one identical it is a bonus in our book because sometimes a pair is nicer. 😀 Or we can always trade it later.
Good luck with your collecting.
regards from the UK
What a lovely and beautiful outing - "A thing of beauty is a joy forever" Greetings from Cape Town South Africa
Thank you @Hanneke Theron what a lovely comment and it's so true a thing of beauty is a joy forever.
Love antiquing, and thrifting. Can't wait to see more. Thank you 😊
You are so welcome! I shall try to get to our other places, I'm excited to get back out into it. It's been a long Summer with no antiques or thrift finds :)
Wonderful start to my day. Your small town is just a dream. My personal favorite was the Birdseye maple secretary. It would go so nicely with my heirloom Birdseye 🍁 dresser.
@@katherinebopp2021 Sounds lovely I really love maple furnishings, so rich and depth of colour.
I just came across your channel, so funny, i live in forestdale/sandwich.. to see our town thru someone else’s eyes....I have been here 30 years and have never taken the time to explore. Thank you
Sometimes we forget to 'play tourist' in our own town. Glad you found me hope to see you again :)
I collect Blue Willow, it was my grandmothers China when I was growing up, my daughter bought me a few pieces for my Birthday now I’m hooked I find a lot of pieces on FB marketplace, I know right 😂🤗🙏🏻👍🏻💕
Isn't it just the perfect classic combo? And you can find so many things in that colour and they all look good together :) Thanks for stopping by @Gina Maria
I love antiqueing, such a beautiful vlog Donna, enjoyed my time shopping with you. So happy to have found your channel. Looking forward to more of your lovely vlogs..
Thank you so much!
Catching up on your old videos. Thank you for sharing ❤👍
I love your antique shops, we have lots here in England but I just love yours. Thank you for sharing. God bless you xx
Thanks so much 😊 I also love the antique shops in England so much and last time I was there, in Kent, I found some lovely little miniature paintings and also stone garden statues. For some reason I find these two beloved things much cheaper in England than I do in my own area of New England. I hope to get back to the UK some day...When our world settles down :) I will be trying to work my way down Cape and go to as many antique shops as I can manage to film whilst we are still more open in my Country.
I’m new to your channel.I loved the the drive and tour . I love antiques and thrifting. Loved this video. See you again soon.
Welcome!!
How fun!! Take us to more antique stores and go slowly. The fireplace mantle was a good price:) there were some things I’d like to buy!
I will do that @Joanne Emerick and hope to do more outings. Yes, I realized I moved too fast haha, but it was my first time and I think I need a gimble, but I have to save my pennies to get one. I'm glad you liked it and I'll do more and go around the town more and such and possibly visit the other towns on the cape and such.
Thanks for the tour of your village, what a lovely place to live.
Glad you enjoyed it and I will probably film a bit more of it, and more shops too! It was so nice to get out again.
Beautiful store, my favorite thing was the Che guevara print art. 🥰
Good eye, it has an interesting mix of things and has had some nice art in the past, it was actually rather bare since lockdown. They usually have a pretty good amount of well known portraiture too. Thanks for stopping by @claudia Retana
Is that store a web site. Thank you
Hello what a wonderful trip down memory lane. Grew up spending lots of time on the cape. You may know one of my classmates. He is the dj for cape cod. Sandwich is so quaint. Well, except for tourist season lol
Dj for which station? Although I might not know him, but my niece may she used to be into the local radio scene a bit more. Welcome and yes tourist season isn't always great, but it is when you have a cottage to rent LOL. This Summer was very odd.
@@DonnaDavisArt cool morning show 102 cool..lol i believe he lived in Eastham
What a lovely village!! You are a very lucky person to live there. I just loved it🤗🤗🤗🤗
It really is!
Thank you for sharing! 🌹🌹🌹
You are so welcome thanks for coming along @Brenda Logdon :)
Love that piano pecking, do you like the olde style Victoria magazine, not Victoria Bliss, your outer wear reminds me of it. I love to look at old houses, in old towns. I like to use what I buy..... thanks for the views of things and nature....e
I used to read the old Victoria magazine but didn't' realize it was still out, I'm going to look for it now.
🍁 I really enjoyed your drive into town and the walk through the antique shop... its been a long time since I've been through a shop like that, too! I especially loved the tiger maple secretary desk, beautiful. Your hat suits you, very chic. Great vlog today. 😊🍁
Glad you enjoyed @Beverley Wittig it was SO divine to be out again. How I've missed being in antique shops! I've had NO sales nor auctions all Summer. IF they ever return I'd love to take you all along, Auctions are pretty fun around here, we've a couple nice auction houses and even one here in town.
@@DonnaDavisArt a trip to the auctions, in your area, sound like fun!
@@Booklady...116 I really want to do that in the future, I'm not sure when they will open again, but we've 2 on Cape that I like to frequent, well I did in the before times the Old Times, I guess we can call it :)
Hi Donna! I'm a new subbie! What a beautiful place you live in! Wow! you are so lucky! I loved shopping with you, TFS Hugs!
Well hello @Marg West thank you for subbing and for stopping by. I hope you'll enjoy spending the day with me again. :)
M&D lived in Brewster and back then there were still shops on the bargain side. Can't wait to follow you along on bargain hunts!
When we lived in Eastham I remember less expensive places, I even remember the drama when our old local video rental was suffering when Blockbuster arrived, we were shocked by a 'chain' showing up. I also remember, when I lived in Hyannisport, we used to walk to a little shop that was a tiny market that had dusty tinned foods and once the 'real estate boom' hit and everything quadrupled in price, in became a fancy dog boutique haha. The progress of time I guess?
You live in a beautiful area of the world . 🥰
Thank you so much, yes I really love it here, Coastal New England is my favourite bit of the US , for me anyway. Some don't like the seasons, but I really need them :) Thanks for visiting today @Angela Pa and gong antiquing with me :)
oh i love this channel so happy to have found it
What a happy comment and Welcome, I hope you'll like it round here :) @Janis Macvicar
I think the egg cups were up side down, that's why they looked so big.
Could be I've heard that , I've heard they are for goose eggs, so who knows? If they go down in price I'll get them and then I can put whatever I like in them , either side haha. Thanks for stopping by @Rosemary Wascher
I love when you catch your breath, it's very sweet xx
😊 thank you I'm so bad at being 'proffesional' on camera, haha, too 'in the moment' :) Thanks for stopping by @Sam Wright
I think a glass window like that would like great in your pantry
Have you thot of a big wooden beam to match other beams in the cottage...as a mantle...or maybe some big trunks from all the trees in your area...or something from a boat with a natical them? Just sharing ideas...hope you had a lovely day out
Cool idea! I've so many ideas, I just need more time (and deeper pockets LOL) :)
Love your voice!🙋🏻♀️❤️
Oh you are so sweet @Randie Wasserman it's funny as they say we always hate the sound of our own voice, and I'm no different there, but I had to get over it as I hear myself everyday now as I'm editing haha.
Do you ever buy directly from the fishermen? We have egg cups like that. If you have 2 boiled eggs for breakfast, you heep one warm inside the large lower section while the egg you are eating sits in the small top. That yellow ware jug would be fantastic on the stove holding your cooking untensils. Hope the bunny has a new home... Have a great weekend!
Sometimes and actually before the grandfather I never like to talk about was still alive and living here, he had some of the oyster grants as part of the property we had to sell to keep this place, so we used to have shellfish all the time, but now we can get them at a good deal if we ask and our neighbours (who own the dock I shared) will often share some if we ask. Tho , when I get the little cheap license at town hall I just go out and dig my own right on our beach an din the sand, you have to dig for them (they are not in the cages) but that's how they did it for centuries and I love mussels and we have an endless supply of those! I love seafood. Thanks for stopping by @Lake Lili And I agree about the yelloware on the stove, darling idea!
Hello Donna, Beautiful scenery - I love the fall season. take care :)
Thank you! You too! Yes the Fall colours are so lovely by the sea. Thanks for stopping by @Mary Carlstrom
Interesting as always, and a lovely place to live in
It really is! At least for me, it's a sleepy town sometimes, but in High Summer when Cape Cod is in it''s peak season (tho not this year) it can become crowded, but still lovely, with little art fairs and such happening out of doors (again not this year) :/ Thanks for stopping by @LaReynedEpee
What a beautiful town. Definitely the way I like to virtual thrift. Your video came up next to mine and I'm so glad it did, I'm hooked. New sub. 💖
So cool! And I'm glad I could take you on a fun 'virtual thrift' I need to check out your channel! Thanks for stopping by @velvet & Toads
@@DonnaDavisArt wonderful, hope you like it!
More memories - Dan'l Webster Inn was a fav of my parents. Many wonderful meals there. I grew up in Barnstable but spent a lot of times in Sandwich. I have ancestors buried there too! My father's family has roots on the Cape since 1600s so I feel this is my home - in my blood. Miss it dearly ( don't miss the summer traffic!) Thank you for all the memories.
I'll be doing an outing one day to the sweet burial ground by the Pond with the old gravestones, maybe you'll see the names of your ancestors there :)
love it. keep up the great work and love your creativity.
Thank you so much, I'm having fun and enjoying sharing things and loving the community.
@@DonnaDavisArt I'm glad you're making the best of the situation we are all in with Mr. Covid. lol
Thank you again for taking time out to be able to put all this together for our viewing pleasure. 😊
Can't wait for more fun and creative vloging from your you.
Sending love from 🌴Florida 💕
Oh thank you for the reply btw made my day lol
What a beautiful drive and area you live in.....Im watching from the Oregon Coast. so far away
but very fun to see a new area. Love the antique store you showed...nice interesting things. Happy Fall. I just subscribed
Thanks for watching! And for subscribing @Denise Baker I do love our area and New England is especially magical in the Autumn, I think.
As long as we keep opening up more, I'll be sharing more towns and such around the Cape so it's going to be fun.
Wish the tour of antique shop had been slower and not so jumpy . I saw a lot I like but passed it by ! Also couldn't hear very well. Wish I could see in person with a boat load of money !!
Sorry about that I'm still new to filming on location, but when I can afford a gimbal it will be less shaky and also as I shoot more outtings like this I'll improve just from practice. Don't worry I WILL go here again. In fact I might make another trip ONCE I have my gimbal just to do a nice slow walk through, maybe a couple trips so I could do half the shop one vlog and the other on a second one. I'm gald you enjoyed the trip tho it was shaky :)
Oh that was fun! Great shop tour and drive thru your area.
I will be looking for kindling today for my new stainless steal mini camp stove. Prepping for winter storm power outages!
We had our first frost this morning...burrrrrr!
I'm glad you liked it @Debra Pate as I was editing I thought, "heavens, I like to drone on don't I" and I edited out a LOT. It's my first real outting for the vlog and I need to get the sound to work better, though it is rather hard to talk with a scarf wrapped round one's face like a bandit LOL.
Oh I hope our first frost is still a couple of weeks at least off, we're having a nice storm right now, just rain not too much wind and the clouds and sea are amazing.
We deal with outtages here a LOT in Winter both from ICE (when we get cold Winters with heavy ice which isn't always) and with snow. So we've a generator and such. We've been out for a week straight before, part of what you get staying in a Summer house through the Winter haha.
Ms. Pate, I'll have to admit, gathering kindling for winter is a phrase I have never uttered. Can't image that as a reality. As you run to the house for heat, we run to the house for the air conditioner. Ha! It would be nice to have longer, cooler months. Good luck this winter and stay safe.
Oscar from GA.
@@oscargoldfield1593 thank you Oscar. My daughter and her 5 children ages 5-17 live with me so I try to have "all the bases covered" going into winter. With all the political problems, the economy and virus, home schooling all 5, its a busy house. All good wishes are appreciated! lol 😉
Hello. I have just discovered your channel by chance. We have a place in Brewster so Cape Cod is near and dear to my heart. I love the beauty of every quaint little town not to mention the antique shopping. Thank you for sharing your outing with all of us.
You are so Welcome @Rosaria Siragusa and I'll eventually make it to Brewster for the vlog, especially the general store on 6A. I used to live in Eastaham as well and love that end of the Cape, really all of the Cape is so special and so different in good ways.
Very Classy Antique shop, great items and atmosphere. I would have been hard-pressed to purchase the jug-face pitcher or tabletop toaster... or the sheep.. or the tall decoy. So many choices! I must do an antiques shopping trip video here in my area, I go at least once a month. The hat suits you very well.
We have some rather nice shops here abouts, but this little place has always been a favourite. I've got a few things here and there, as their prices are often dear, but one can find good deals like my hat was only $15. And normally I haggle, but not now, as the poor vendors need every penny, I know! I can't stop thinking about that pitcher and when I was editing I thought, "Why wasn't it cheaper!" but we'll see, the price might go down. I love having things to make floral arrangements in and it'd look SO good full of grasses, like funny hair!
Yes , do an antique run. I'm going to do more, as I can, still we're just really opening carefully in my State. I'm going to do a more 'rag tag' thrift sale for a future vlog as our sale like that (only open weekends) is finally opening back up this weekend.
Thank you, I LOVE the hat, the feathers are perfection! I bought it for my tea, but I know I'll wear it more often I just love hats :)
@@DonnaDavisArt I just looked on Ebay and saw the same jugface for $50 (or Make Offer) with $9 shipping; but there is one with long sideburns and he looks just like a sailor, He is perfect for your Boathouse! He is $59 and free shipping ...he has your name all over him. Go and look when you have a chance under: majolica face pitcher
@@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow That is so sweet of you and now I'm heading over there Oh heavens, when I'm trying to be good and save my pennies! Haha.
@@DonnaDavisArt I understand that! I can't bid on one because I just bought an Acorn Teapot to feature in a video on Acorns; but wouldn't it be fun to have a collection of those face Pitchers!
@@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow YES and I know I'm going to end up with one before the year is out LOL. Oh I can't wait for that video and the acorn tea pot! Adorable. I might go back and get that little Punchinello creamer tho, he was sweet.
Cool hat. Thanks for the trip, I too have been shut up since the beginning of March and remain locked up except for doctor appointments, strange world.
It's such an odd time and strange world. I hope your area gets better so you can get out some. Let's hope 2021 is a bit better, thanks for stopping by @SuS Prime
I really like your videos keep up the greatness and have a great day love you
Thank you! Will do!
A salvage company will have reclaimed wood mantels. There must be one in your area...(I'm from a new england town in MA too)
Oh yes, I know but I've not been out to anything, except grocery store garden center, since March! We used to have an AMAZING one in Fall River, but not sure it's still there and when we lived in Boston there was an amazing one near by. Thanks for the tip tho and I'm also going next to a place that is much more 'junk things' at better prices, but I figured first trip out wanted to go to my favourite place to look about.
Where in MA are you?
Hi Donna you really do live in the most beautiful part of America. Would you like to swap Lol? :)
Thanks for taking us out and about in your beautiful little village, Cape Cod really is my favorite part of America - just love the close relationship with our UK history - love Boston too. Take care and hopefully catch up later.
Oh that's kind, well I think it's rather lovely here and would I swap for the UK? YES, though maybe Kent or Devon tho I've been looking at Scotland again haha. Have to always cottage shop, right?
I love Boston as well, we used to live there too, but that was awhile ago. Yes, my village has a little sign that reads "Sandwich Massachusetts Twinned with Sandwich Kent" and I love Sandwich Kent actually was there last time I was in UK in 2018.
Thanks for stopping by and good chatting with you @Phillip Nixon on Doing it ourselves :)
I hope you picked that mantle up. How many times we delay, go back and it's gone. I actually just purchased a hutch, not antique, for $35 at a Salvation Army, to style as a mantel using candles.
I did not @GaslitWorld f. Melissa B tho last I was there it was still there. I just wasn't sure if it would fit where I wanted it, but have since considered it for the kitchen bit of the boathouse WHEN I can finally get to it. I'm trying to save for a roof and some windows as well, so I have the purse strings quiet tight at present :)
Egg cups are upside down. The egg to keep one warm as you eat one.
Ha ha, Yes, I know now @Lavinia Gray as I was editing I thought, well of course. And also a few people in comments have mentioned it as well, which is great. That's why it's fun to take All of you with me so I can learn more along the way :) Thanks for stopping by.
My Linda says this is not an ordinary antique store just extraordinary finds next trip to Chatham it is a destination
I love Chatham @John Blumberg and will be making a trip out that way at some point, I've a few more places round this end of the Cape first. I'm so happy all of you like antiquing as now I've some antiquing friends from all over the world! :)
I love to hit sales yard sales to I love the drive it's so pretty
Me too, I really missed them this summer.
Merry Christmas from Florida. I love window shopping on your shop tours. Love the hat, I also have a passion for Borzoi's. Had them for years, wonderful kind sweet dogs that love to lay around , or go for lond walks. Borzoi Rescue has them for adoption of all ages. Best of Health in the New Year.
Oh I'd love to adopt a Borzoi, might have to put that on the possibility list :)
Today's video (Sunday) will be a premier with chat so if you'd like to stop by it's at 1pm EST usa time, maybe I'll see you there @Barton Hatfield :)
Were I live we have several artian wells we go fill up jugs
Oh, that's good luck then. I enjoy ours and the water tastes so good.
Just found your channel, everything is beautiful. Please video any turtle items you see! I collect them
Thank you! Will do! Oh I love turtles too and will do . I've just ordered a Gimbal to better film (less shaky) and plan on going more detailed through all our antique and thrift shops we have A LOT of them :) We also have some amazing sea turtles , terrapins, I see when I'm kayaking and of course we've native box turtles in the garden and wood, tho they are technically tortoises. Sometimes I see those amazing old giant turtle shells collected during the Victorian days at Antique shops, they are amazing. Thanks for stopping by come back again @Purple Love
I LOVED this! I’ve never been to the Cape! I live in Seacoast NH. The sound of those buoy bellls, the sight of the water, but mostly All the nautical things in the shop! I too love clocks, have one waiting on a repair. Miss the ticking in my home 😕.
I love NH and sometimes I forget the lovely coastline there as well, as we always went to NH to the mountains for skiing and hiking! Such a beautiful State. Really, we're lucky, we New Englanders, our tiny little bit of the country is beautiful and full of history :)
Hello, Donna Davis! How nice to discover your UA-cam channel today! You& I have chatted together a bit in The Chateau Diaries threads, so it's really nice to go on a jaunt with you to see your village & your local antique shop! Thank you for sharing your sweet adventure! I've subscribed now, & look forward to enjoying more journeys with you via UA-cam. 🍀😘🍀
🙏🌿🌻🌿😊🌿🌻🌿🙏
Oh thank you! And another lovely Chat Chum, I've met so many amazing virtual friends thanks to Lalande chats, Stephanie is so special and really my determination to keep vlogging came from the inspiration and joy I get from her Channel and chats! I hope you come back and I'll see you in the chats as well :) @Sarah schweiler
Since a private road, do you have to clear that lenthy road of snow in the winter to get out?
Must be pitch-black at night-
It is VERY black at night for sure, no street lights. And our neighbours own the house next door to us (as well as their other house) and they have their yardman/gardner live in and he ploughs are street for us, there are only a few of us here year round, most are usually only here in Summer, so everything is boarded up and such so when we lose power, we're the lost bit the town attends to because well, most houses are empty then, so generator and such and have been without power for a week or so , but it can also be kind of fun and Little house on the prairie then too lol have to make lemonade out of those lemons, eh? Thanks for stopping by @Suzanne Lawson
Donna your replies are so interesting . Now I must read all of them .lol If you are doing vlogs about the towns on the east coast would it be possible for you to do one about the Ogunquit museum of American art . It’s a gem and I miss it so much.
That would be a lovely road trip @Angela Pa, though Maine, that bit anyway, is almost three hours from here and until our lockdown gets a bit better, it might be sometime. BUT, I'd LOVE to go and do some road trips to make vlogs about those things and we LOVE Maine! For now I might do more local ones, which are tiny, but cute. There is a fun whaling museum as well, that could be a fun vlog, I love going there.
Always enjoy. I'd love to see the mantle in the boathouse.
You and me both! It's still undecided but in time...WE have to be patient around here going at a snails pace, but at least it allows me to change my mind a thousand times before we do anything ;)
I like to take time too.
Back the third time! I love this darling, lovely but pricey antique shop. I would leave Sandwich in a u haul and a credit card for gas in my wallet. Thank you again Donna!
I know it's one of my favourites, not only because it's my go to , but I've had many hours and years shopping this place and when there alone shopping I can still fill the laughter of sharing it with friends and family that are gone or restricted away. Funny, that, but a place like an antique shop can feel like going to a part of your 'home' so much more than you'll ever feel in a large box store :) @Kathy Bruce
Love where you live and the beautiful shop, thanks for sharing. The mounted fish is a sailfish not a marlin.
I mean marlin and when I was editing I thought, 'Well you mispoke again' Ha ha. Thanks for coming along with me @Debbie
I just happened to find your video and I love it! I live in beautiful Sandwich for almost 40 years now. One correction is that Sandwich was founded in 1637, making it the oldest town on Cape Cod. Thank you for the lovely tour.
I always thought it was founded on September 3, 1639 and we have founders day on that date. What date did I say, gosh? Aren't we lucky to live in such a town? Welcome and I'm glad you found me :)
@@DonnaDavisArt It was founded in 1637 and incorporated in 1639. Yes, I agree just an absolutely beautiful town, especially at Christmas time. I’m glad I found you too.
I love a beautiful hat☺👒🎑📹💞
OH, I'm a sucker for hats.
I Watch your video again just to see the Che Guevara art frame. 😍 beautiful store
Greeting from Hull, M.A.
💖❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Hello Hull, well you're not too far away @Jodi Purssell I hope you're enjoying our lovely Autumnal weather we've been having.
Hi Donna, very beautiful town. 💖
It really is! And thank you for stopping by @Lorraine Gatzke
Absolutely Fabulous Donna🤩..I loved the Tour from your home to the village ..Beautiful part of the country that you live in ..The Antique Store was divine .I live out of Cheyenne Wyoming ..Sadly this area of the Midwest..doesnt have a variety of good antique stores..Nor the history . ..As a transplant New Zealander..I miss the lovely stores we have at home ...plus the ocean 😁. I will look forward to following your posts..Thankyou 💞🤩💐
I'm so glad you enjoyed it @Lyn Ludwig and happy to share more in the future. You must miss NZ which I can imagine is breathtakingly beautiful, I've never been but I've seen many photos/films there and it looks so magical and lovely.
Hope to see you again.
I'm watching this Nov 2024. Enjoyable, interesting, fun video! (but at times too fast and blurry) I love early antiques, the history, and knowing that someone used the item, I now hold in my hand, 100 -200 years ago. 'survivors'!
Really interesting vlog today. You live in such a pretty area. Loved the antique shopping although I'm not really a fan of ornaments, dust collectors I call them. Still love looking though. Thanks for taking us along with you. Love the hat.
Thanks for watching! @JMK not me I'm definitely an unapologetic Maximalists haha, though to be fair I did only buy the hat, but that was more to do with my empty purse then my desires, lol.
I love dust collectors, but I insist that Everything be behind glass. And I love my Swiffer for dusting.
Daily I wait for visits from LeLande friends. But mainly your beach-world. Please read more poetry and stories to me. No one else does this. When my daughter was 15, we flew to Boston from WV and rented a large RV to head to Prince Ed Island so she could see where Ann of Green Gables lived. we first drove to the Cape where I lost a rear view mirror on the tiny road. but we continued to her goal!
That is a lovely story @carolyn gross and we have dear friends whose family summer house is on the sea in Nova Scotia and their view looks out onto PEI in the distance, magical place. I will read more poetry and stories if people like, it's funny as I love to read aloud but usually I've only my pets to read too, haha, as I'd not bother hubby with it. SO, I'll do more, maybe I'll ask for suggestions., Do you have a favorite poem or passage?
