Hey young lady, so enjoyed your unboxing of stuff from Curiosity Inc sale. To me you flat out bought great history and continue the history of Madame Ruc. Sound great as well as the background for unboxing. Loved seeing your appreciation of beautiful items.
I was watching you bid and really rooting for you. Glad you got lots of stuff. Really fun to put a face to the name and watch you unboxing your treasures. I will be watching the next auction on the 13th.
I watched the entire episodes of the horde house videos. How wonderful you got some things from their auctions.. The fish are wonderful for bathroom decor. Yellowing could be from smoking, it will come off easily. Thank you for sharing with us..
It’s great that you will be selling many of these items. The people that couldn’t afford the full lot might still get something they wanted. It’s crazy how many of us across the globe have fallen in love with Alex and his family. Best of luck and I’m subscribed and going now to your second unboxing. 😁
Thank you Lynn, Im really glad you are enjoying them. That is part of the reason I wanted to get some so more people can have a piece. Yes they make us feel like family for sure. Love them. Enjoy M
Serendipity this video was fun! I love chalk ware, my parents used to purchase it alot when I was younger and as my three sister's and I grew up my mom would give us a piece so we now have them to enjoy. I catch your name on Alexander and Melissa lives and also Joshua and Ashley's. I'm not surprised that I would enjoy your content too because we like to support some of the same great people! I don't have a channel I'm a assistant director for a early childhood program and UA-cam is my escape from hard day's that we're facing now. So thank you I'll be watching.
Thank you so much for showing these wonderful finds. You are doing a great job. Stay sitting and relax!! lol Can't wait for the next video! As a young Bride I wanted some of thoses fish for my Bathroom and could never afford them. Brought back memories.
I guess because we were following the series from Alex we drove up the prices. Cause I checked a few pieces of chalkware and the prices we bid were way over the top. I got two bracelets and a coin. I also looked into the auction the next day . It can be addicting
@@darlenewesley3617 I agree because items are being shipped all over the world. They do have over 380K subs so a lot of them also wanted a piece from the series.
'Especially love the chalkware plaque with the two dogs! Can't wait to see more of the unboxings! It's like finding treasure... well, it is actually finding treasure! 😊
LOVE your unboxing Melanie!! You are one sweet lady! Also, the sound was great, I could hear all you said very well, I also liked you sitting down and not moving around. The rustling paper sounds didn't bother me at all or cover your voice. GREAT video, looking forward to more unboxings since the auction really didn't show all a box/lot had in it when selling. You really got a good deal for $300. plus on this lot!
Thanks Melanie. I enjoyed this unboxing video. It looks like you got a nice assortment of items for the $300 that you spent on this box. It was so hard to tell from the pictures what was in the boxes. Your volume was a bit low and I turned mine up and then was able to hear you quite nicely. Looking forward to the next box.......
Hi Mrs H. They are so kind, generous, and all around great people. I like surrounding myself with people like them. Really glad you are enjoying the unboxings
I'm strapped in to watch your series of unboxing videos. Thank you for sharing the unboxing of your newly acquired collection with us. I remember those fish on our bathroom wall and they had bubbles (little round pieces) to represent the air bubbles going up. I hope that's understandable I was reading it it doesn't seem like it coming out right. Stay happy, healthy, hydrated, safe and warm. May God continue to bless you and your family.
The fish bring back memories for me because my mom had a set on her bathroom wall for years and years. She repainted them several times. I wish I had them but I guess my family tossed them when she died.
Love the flying ducks , I once had a collection of them regret selling them when I got hard up. The Beswick ones are most collectible. The chalk ware is easy to repair I’ve done that using a little filler and paint ❤️🇬🇧
The chalkware fish had caught my attention but I didn’t bid on anything in this auction! I thought the fish would look cute on one of the walls at my cabin! Oh my the shiny fish set is gorgeous too!!!
enjoyed your unboxing. loved your comments and showing the items slowly to the camera. Suggestion -- maybe put all items from the box out on a table and then add a sign saying Box One -- so we could look at all the items together. Good for you for going for what you wanted. I lived in Wainwright and Edmonton as a child -- it certainly got cold. When we moved to Ottawa, with higher temperatures but lots of humidity -- I preferred Alberta. Still do.
yall could do a repair video, where you retouch the color! would love to see the wall behind you get filled up with the items displayed...or see how you chose to display them. How they relate to your other collections. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing your unboxing. I thought your video was excellent. The sound was fine as well as the lighting. You don't fidget or move around a great deal which can sometimes be distracting. I followed the videos also and tried unsuccessfully to bid on several items. Maybe I will do better on the 13th! I look forward to seeing the rest of your videos!
Oh my... The $ you spent!! I was interested in the buttons+ jewelry but when I saw those bids ... Just could not afford it! Enjoy your stuff- hope you can re coup your $! God bless!
U were way to low..could barely hear you..you got some amazing things..I loved all the chalkware and yes chips show age and character just like crazing which I don't mind either. U got some lovely things. Wish I could have bid on some things..
Hi Melanie. I've been a follower of Curiousity Inc for over a yr. Knew as soon as he told us about the Musicians house, he would have us hanging on 4 most if winter! 😘 I'm in Canada 2 in our beautiful Province of NS. Anyway, how exciting 4 u 2 get more than one item. I did win one item so can't wait 2 get it. Hope it doesn't take 2 long 2 b shipped and NOT damaged! I totally fell in love with that big fish and he babies and that purple one. We have large fish tank and they would look awesome hanging over it. Do u plan on selling anything? U did good. No need 2 apologize 4 anything about how u look. Just b you. People will complain about the least important stuff no matter. Yr sound was great and you did great at showing us yr items, didn't spend 2 much time, just right I thought. Way better than some pros who have been on utube a long time. Also the paper rustling was what we should hear, makes it more real! Yr tone when mentioning spring sounds like yr a gardener?
Thank you so much for your input. Im wondering what you got????? Do tell. I hear that it will be about 2 weeks to get the shipping done. So maybe by the end of the month you will receive it. I love gardening, however, I moved to a short season area. Still setting up as it is a lot of work. I will be selling off my items later on my Etsy and may start on Ebay. My Etsy is also SerendipitybyMelanie. It is great to meet others who love Curiosity Inc
Just watched yr 2cd unboxing. 2 wks? That's not 2 bad considering how far it has 2 travel and one week is gone by almost already... as telling what I got. It's a surprise 4 now but I'll give u a hint. There were quite a few in the collection. Would have loved 2 had them all but way out of my price range. Hubby will take a fit as it is when he finds out how much I pd 4 just 1 item since he's a VV shopper. it's not jewelry. Which i had my eye on several items but that went crazy too.
Technical tip, Melanie: I know it's natural to want to look at the camera view screen, but you need to train yourself to look at the camera lens. It seems like a small thing, but you'll be surprised at how much it improves the overall look-and-feel of the video.
I buy from Alex Archbold occasionally, but never shop anything in auction. Not these days. If you’re happy with what you purchased that’s all that matters. Bee honey pot with metal legs stand.
I am a reseller. I took some time off and now getting back to it. Have storage containers full and downsizing because I moved into my tiny house. I will do unboxings, live sales, video sales, some on my tiny house and tiny office as I have friends who followed me through the build of my house on FB. Really glad you are here and that you enjoy
You did pretty good for sure. I think where you are a few of the items can hang right behind you and look beautiful. The chips just show the age of the item so don't worry so much about that stuff happens in life. We are pretty much the same we show our age as well. lol
Hi Melanie, Awesome video the camera is great!! Isn’t it exciting opening boxes and seeing all the beautiful vintage/antique things? That’s what I am going through right now. I just moved and brought all the boxes from my 13 great aunts and they are filled with antiques!!! Some things I don’t even know what it is lol The jewelry I have is amazing! I was going to open a store last year but that’s been put on hold because of Covid. Auction can be very exspensive and sometimes it very hard to make a profit? I hope you do well with all the beautiful things you purchased. Are you going to sell online? I have subscribed I’ll watch as you journey through this venture. I’m still learning a lot myself I am hoping to be able to get in front of a camera soon! Whil
@@angelicvintagetreasures9521 Hi Debbie. I want to come over to your place and unbox lol. Now that is exciting. I also have tonnes of boxes that I do not remember what is in them as they have been in storage for 5 yrs. Yes jewelry is the best. That I could look through for hours. I have an Etsy shop, Poshmark Canada and use FB. I will do live sales soon. Just getting used to filming. Cant wait to see your videos once you start. My thoughts are a store is too much overhead, too time consuming with a schedule. At least from home you do what you want and at what time. Thank you for the blessings and please pop in when you can. Enjoy
Wow I found that I was cheering on Alex for all the good prices he got but then I never thought of the person on the otherside where you wefre bidding on the stuff. Beautiful chalkware, I hope you get your money back and more too. Yes Madame Rak was amazing I wondering about all the great clothing what happened. 11:38 the wired piece, I think that was one of the pieces that Madame Rak's father did, He had made it? 14:49 I love the "happiness" Fish Are beautiful making you smile . Have a great day too Beautiful Melanie!!!! I love how you are in a tiny house. My "motivating Buddy" Anfisa from Far North Thrift she is living off grid and in a tiny house right now she built herself (her hubby did) a shed as a office, storage, listing area right now she is into mostly clothes but she is getting into hard goods too She is on YT, IG and she lists on eBay and poshmark.
Hi Melissa, yes I was cheering him on. The first auction was exciting with all the beautiful jewelry. This auction was the house hold and the prices were going so high but we paid up for it as we all wanted to piece of the story. Yes the chalkware makes me giddy. Madame Rac had great taste and a lot of amazing items. I would have bought all of the contents or just the clothing. The contents of the house was worth it for sure. The clothing was bought by Mark and he is selling them on Etsy and other places. He broke even in the first week or so of buying them from Alex. 11:38 update on the next video.....I will do some tiny house updates as well at a later date. Have a great day my friend
@@serendipitybymelanie6077 I won one jewelry and one picture. Both were just one item each but I wanted something to have a memory of the show and Madame Rac’s home. I’m in Nebraska USA.
@@serendipitybymelanie6077 you're welcome That's good you almost at 1000 SUBSCRIBERS soon be monetized to be making money from your hard work uploading videos
@@HUSTLERS1 Yes need 98 more and a few more hours of viewing time. You need 4K viewing hours and so there needs to be another 2.5K hours. Please share the channel and videos I would really appreciate it. TY
I can't wait to get mine! It was interesting so see who got what. I bid early on those fish but ended up not pursuing as was to expensive and heavy to ship!
Your video was in my suggestions, probably because I'm subbed to Curiosity Inc. I'll have to sub now, just to see what all you got in future videos haha. Will have to see if you have videos of your tiny house. I was just looking at plans to have someone build me a mini one to sell.
Aw Melanie! This is so very exciting watching this video. So silly of me, but when you showed the chalkware bubbles I was giddy! I’m looking forward to your other unboxings. I can’t imagine another new UA-cam channel just starting out to have so many exciting treasures to share with their viewers! You camera work and lighting is fine. I could hear you as well.~Janet
Thank you Janet I appreciate your uplifting message. We all wonder how others see us. There is another video coming in the next hour or so when it is done uploading. Enjoy
It was interesting to see the lot that you got. I was not thrilled with the auction because people got greedy and the prices went out of line with what was being offered. The condition of each item was not outlined in the auction description and never addressed when directly asked of Alex and his wife. The live auction was also not streaming and lagging way behind making it almost impossible to bid appropriately, so you are lucky you got anything at all.
With the auction the only thing that was hard for me, there were no measurements. The prices went above retail because of the YT channel and their followers. It was lagging a bit on my end but as soon as one would bid I put my next one in. Did not wait. The auctions usually go a lot faster and normally you have way less time to hesitate. I believe after Alex and Melissa drop things off at the auction then it is the auction house that needs to answer the questions as it is part of the fees. I cant even imagine how busy everyone was for the amount of items that was there. I think I would have had a meltdown lol
@@serendipitybymelanie6077 So did your items smell musty? There appears to be loads of damage, such as chipping, which brings the value of items way down.
@@lisaakinlabi No smell at all. The chips and damage are more from the guys putting them in the truck to bring home. The value does come down and some cant be sold.
I totally understand wanting to get some pieces from that auction. There was an auction in Birmingham a few years ago of a very reclusive collector. He was so mysterious. He had two people (buyers/employees ) that he would send out to antique auctions and estate sales to,purchase things for him. His collection was epic and very very well known. I bid on several pieces that I will NEVER be able to received what I paid but it was just being able to have something that belonged to him that drove the prices up.
Yes I hear you on paying up. The example is buying an single item for more than what you would pay just so you can sell it because it is spectacular. Love your channel and spending time with you and Miss Kelley
Thank you for the tip. I did a video yesterday and it is better now that I put the camera on my shorter tripod. I will post that video in the next couple days. Hope it is better for you as well
Thanks for unboxing with us....we, too, fell in love with the "Musician House" series.....
I will watch the series again for sure. Really enjoyed them
These videos are so relaxing, and you're such a warm person too.
$7,300 wow you will have a big part in putting the cafe up and running. Well done.
I think the metal thing is the bumblebee's legs.
Yes it is on the next video in the series...I figured it out. Thank you Isabelle hope you are enjoying the videos
Isn't it a HONEY POT?
Exactly what i was going to comment
@@serendipitybymelanie6077 .
@@serendipitybymelanie6077 i totally agree, was thinking the exact same thing 😄!

I think so too!

So nice to see how happy you were unboxing these items. I watched the musician's series and loved it too.
I loved the Music House series' . I can't wait to watch all your unboxings. I went thrifting after I watched you. Thank you for sharing with us.
Wow that's awesome stuff. Well done. Your purchase has contributed to the shop extension build.
I was watching you bid and really rooting for you. Glad you got lots of stuff. Really fun to put a face to the name and watch you unboxing your treasures. I will be watching the next auction on the 13th.
That is awesome Carol. Thanks for rooting for me, see you at the next auction but I dont think I will be bidding on anything lol
I adore the bee! I'm so glad these items went to someone who will love and care for them. It was fun to watch, thank you for sharing!
Yes the bee is cute. Makes me smile
It's fun to see where some of those items ended up! Thanks for sharing.
It is fun showing it, and I would enjoy to see others do the same so I can watch them. Thank you for joining in.

Thanks for sharing! Is so lovely her items are going to a great home (and you have contributed to Alex’s new coffee shop too) ❤️❤️❤️
You did so good Melanie!! I'm looking forward to watching more!! 🥰🥰
Awe thank you Misty. I love your channel so much and every item I have purchased from you is a treasure.

Glad you enjoyed!
The fish bring back memories for me because my mom had a set on her bathroom wall for years and years. She repainted them several times. I wish I had them but I guess my family tossed them when she died.
Yes others do not see what we see in them that is why they are harder to find I guess
The chalk ware is also known as plaster of paris.
I work with plaster of paris a lot with my mixed media art.
Such fun! I do watch Alex and I also saw the Potters House which was amazing too.
I do want to watch the Potter's House series as well. Just cant settle down enough
I adore Chalkware!!!!
I wanted that whole tub of scissors. Alas, I missed it.
Yes the lot went for such high amount that most missed out on it.
Paula you and me too. But I could not bid on anything.
Love the flying ducks , I once had a collection of them regret selling them when I got hard up. The Beswick ones are most collectible. The chalk ware is easy to repair I’ve done that using a little filler and paint ❤️🇬🇧

My "motivating Buddy" Anfisa from Far North Thrift she is living off grid and in a tiny house right now she built herself (her hubby did) a shed as a office, storage, listing area right now she is into mostly clothes but she is getting into hard goods too She is on YT, IG and she lists on eBay and poshmark.
Hi Melissa, yes I was cheering him on. The first auction was exciting with all the beautiful jewelry. This auction was the house hold and the prices were going so high but we paid up for it as we all wanted to piece of the story. Yes the chalkware makes me giddy. Madame Rac had great taste and a lot of amazing items. I would have bought all of the contents or just the clothing. The contents of the house was worth it for sure. The clothing was bought by Mark and he is selling them on Etsy and other places. He broke even in the first week or so of buying them from Alex. 11:38 update on the next video.....I will do some tiny house updates as well at a later date. Have a great day my friend
Thank you for sharing!! I bid on that lot and I bet a few of the other lots you won! Can’t wait to see more.
Thank you for watching. How many lots did you get? Are you in Canada?
@@serendipitybymelanie6077 I won one jewelry and one picture. Both were just one item each but I wanted something to have a memory of the show and Madame Rac’s home. I’m in Nebraska USA.
@@Murphy7223 Nice. I did buy one piece of jewelry from the first sale because I wanted a memory as well
You will do better on the resale of the items than you think. Correct marketing will go along way. Congrats on getting so many lots .
First time seeing your channel good content you bought good collection of items from good company i follow them to
Thank you so much only been on a couple days and feeling a little more relaxed.

Can always use bits of nail polish to touch up the chalkware🤷♀️
Ah ha, I found an unboxing.
Were you looking for the ones from Curiosity Inc's auction?
I can't wait to get mine! It was interesting so see who got what. I bid early on those fish but ended up not pursuing as was to expensive and heavy to ship!
Yes heavy for sure. Instead of shipping it all my friend went and picked it up for me. So the gas and travel time is also paid by me
Your video was in my suggestions, probably because I'm subbed to Curiosity Inc. I'll have to sub now, just to see what all you got in future videos haha. Will have to see if you have videos of your tiny house. I was just looking at plans to have someone build me a mini one to sell.
Yes I will be doing videos in the future on both of my tiny houses. One I live in and one is my office. Glad you found your way
I received the items I bought just a few days after the auction. I am happy with what I received. 🇨🇦
That is good to hear. I am still so happy with everything and still have lots to go through lol
It wasn't loud enough.
The ducks would look nice on your paneled wall.
I will be turning up the volume on my camera. I have a few videos done at the lower level so it will go up next week in volume. Thank you
They were smokers so that might have yellowed them too. Still those fish are lovely. let me know what you plan to keep and sell.
Just send me an email and we can chat. I wont know for awhile as I feel pretty busy right now lol.
Aw Melanie! This is so very exciting watching this video. So silly of me, but when you showed the chalkware bubbles I was giddy! I’m looking forward to your other unboxings. I can’t imagine another new UA-cam channel just starting out to have so many exciting treasures to share with their viewers! You camera work and lighting is fine. I could hear you as well.~Janet
Thank you Janet I appreciate your uplifting message. We all wonder how others see us. There is another video coming in the next hour or so when it is done uploading. Enjoy
It was interesting to see the lot that you got.
I was not thrilled with the auction because people got greedy and the prices went out of line with what was being offered. The condition of each item was not outlined in the auction description and never addressed when directly asked of Alex and his wife. The live auction was also not streaming and lagging way behind making it almost impossible to bid appropriately, so you are lucky you got anything at all.
With the auction the only thing that was hard for me, there were no measurements. The prices went above retail because of the YT channel and their followers. It was lagging a bit on my end but as soon as one would bid I put my next one in. Did not wait. The auctions usually go a lot faster and normally you have way less time to hesitate. I believe after Alex and Melissa drop things off at the auction then it is the auction house that needs to answer the questions as it is part of the fees. I cant even imagine how busy everyone was for the amount of items that was there. I think I would have had a meltdown lol
@@serendipitybymelanie6077 So did your items smell musty? There appears to be loads of damage, such as chipping, which brings the value of items way down.
@@lisaakinlabi No smell at all. The chips and damage are more from the guys putting them in the truck to bring home. The value does come down and some cant be sold.
Oh how fun! Those are some fantastic pieces. Looking forward to the other unboxings. Your camera focuses really well. Rebekah
Thank you Rebekah for letting me know. I really do love the items. I cant wait to keep going.
Don't forget the house reeked of cigarette smoke so everything is yellow from that, it'll all need a good cleaning.
I did not know that. I cannot smell anything, not musty or anything.
I did not know that. I cannot smell anything, not musty or anything.
I totally understand wanting to get some pieces from that auction. There was an auction in Birmingham a few years ago of a very reclusive collector. He was so mysterious. He had two people (buyers/employees ) that he would send out to antique auctions and estate sales to,purchase things for him. His collection was epic and very very well known. I bid on several pieces that I will NEVER be able to received what I paid but it was just being able to have something that belonged to him that drove the prices up.
Yes I hear you on paying up. The example is buying an single item for more than what you would pay just so you can sell it because it is spectacular. Love your channel and spending time with you and Miss Kelley
Such fun Melanie! The camera picture was great and you were awesome. 🤗 Looking forward to watching the rest of the unboxing!!
Thank you for helping me.
cure youre doing it from your sauna:-)
No it is a tiny house that I have for an "office" Need a sauna this week though as it is -25 C
How do you clean the chalk ware?
Light dusting, no water as it is plater of paris
@@serendipitybymelanie6077 Thanks I was wondering. It is fun to see what you are getting in the boxes.
Could the bee be a honey pot.
Yes thank you Debbie. A honey pot for sure. I will get the nervousness out of my head soon. lol
@@serendipitybymelanie6077 you did great. No worries.
Congrats on winning those lots! So many beautiful items!
Wow! Fantastic! Absolutely love the ceramic flying ducks!
