- Hi, friends!
Today we are going thrifting and antiquing! It has been a while since we have been to the thrift or antique shops and after remodeling the living & dining room about a year ago I'm ready to add another English country layer of decor. Join me as we shop, decorate with home decor, and style the treasures we find!

This channel inspired me to decorate my new home in the English country style. I knew I had achieved my goal when my youngest son said "This place looks like an antique shop". 😅
😊😅
What a delightful compliment! Your home sounds very comfortable and welcoming.
Those needlepoint pillows a viewer gifted you with are gorgeous. I love them😍
I think so too!
No thrift stores near me have such beautiful items. This would be an antiques store for me
Good morning, friends!
It's time again to add another layer of that English country cottage homey-ness. Let's go shopping, then decorate together!
Rachel, I am sensing that you are not quite your chipper self. There is just a glimmer in your eye that is missing. I have been concerned for a while now. This video had all the things I love and expect from you but your shine is just not as bright as usual. Sending love and prayers! Thank you for sharing these gorgeous pieces with us!❤️
That is very sweet of you. No worries, all is well. Glad you enjoyed the thrift haul! 😊
I think the large domed plate is actually a gateau plate, meant for serving large sponge cakes. The doming helps to slice the cake and take a piece more easily! 😊🍰
Very clever!
Thanks for sharing!
I’ve collected Antiques for 30 years. It’s really good to get to know the owners of the Antique Store, as you get better deals and often a history of the piece. Nice store
Good point!
Hi Rachel, your home is so beautiful!! I love watching how put things together. I really loved the red transfer ware. I went to your etsy shop hoping to see them there but alas they weren't. Where I live you just don't find all these lovely things except in antique stores where they are out of my affordability. So I will continue to dream and enjoy your you tube videos. Thank you so much for sharing :)
Good morning, Miss Linda!
What a sweet compliment, I appreciate you taking time to visit.
There is a red transferware tea cup remaining, the salt & pepper shakers sold rather quickly. What kinds of red transferware pieces are you looking for? Perhaps I can keep an eye out for them...
Thank you for sharing your awesome haul love everything single piece can't wait for next video. Have a wonderful blessed Monday and week.
Glad you enjoyed, Miss Donna!
Those pillows are gorgeous!!!!
I always look forward to seeing your videos, never disappointed!
Glad you like them, Miss Kimberly!
Another side note is that showing the inside of the stores and their vignettes is also great for ideas. When I saw the print of what looks like the Empire State Building(?), I remembered I had printed out a picture of the old 195 Broadway building I used to work in from the 1920s. Now I have to find it and frame it for my office!
You're absolutely right, great styling ideas can be garnered from both displays!
Everything in the video is beautiful: the thrift store's displays & all the items shown; and your home. I especially love the blue & white porcelain/ china items.
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed your visit, Miss Liz! We appreciate your visit and wish you a blessed rest of the week.
@@StoneCottageHome😊You are very welcome!! The praise for your videos (from myself & others) is well-deserved! I hope you have a blessed week, as well.
Thank you!
You may be interested to know there is a "Blue and White Collections" video in the works!
@@StoneCottageHome🌝I'll look forward to the "Blue & White Collections" video!! Thanks for the heads up!
The stuff on that table at the very beginning 🤯 all the blue and white, the brass pear, the horse head bookends and big wooden bowl! I never come across that much good stuff at one time anymore!
Glad I got your email because this new video wasn’t in my UA-cam feed! I always love what you do!
Oh, I'm glad you received the email, too! If you turn on your UA-cam notifications bell, you'll be alerted every time one of our videos comes out.
I can just imagine a beautiful cake resting on the 10:20 serving dish! And the copper pot 3:32 was stunning! Fantastic episode, Rachel!
Isn't it fun when you can visualize how to use an item in your home?!
Thanks for stopping by!
Wow what terrific finds. I just love those bookends. It is always such fun to watch your videos.
Glad you like them!
Thanks for stopping by!
I enjoyed the thrift/antique shop visits and your commentary! It would be fun to shop with you in real life. I loved your choices, most especially the bookends and the transfer-ware pieces! I’m always hunting for berry bowls, they are smaller, more like for a dessert. I love serving my children snacks in them and using them every day. If they break, it gives me an excuse to hunt for new ones. :)
Shopping buddies are great, especially when your design tastes overlap!
Yes, actually using your finds is the best!
Good morning....thank you for sharing...all the suggestions and ideas are most welcomed...the efforts made in producing the video are so appreciated...great to see you...All the best...Melanie Fay... PS....I too am a collector of blue and white as well as copper...
Good morning, Miss Melanie!
There is nothing quite as beautiful as blue & white and copper in the kitchen! I'm so glad you enjoyed this video. It's a joy to see your name pop up this morning! Take care,
Rachel
I love all your thrifted items! Your home is so lovely and I enjoy seeing how you use all your treasures in your decorating. You certainly have an eye for the most beautiful things and how to use them. Thank you for your inspiration!
Good afternoon, Miss Nancy!
How nice to know you're being inspired by our home & decorating style. It's a work in progress, patience, and practice!
Evelyn and Crabtree make soaps, talc and fragrances.
A saucer is a small plate with a especially included recess to accommodate a teacup. The next size up is the side plate.
Mrs B here. Always amazed at how much blue and white treasures you see. That first bowl you picked up from Mason's is my dishes pattern and I don't have that piece 😮. Love the art pieces.
Hello, there, Mrs. B!
The Mason's bowl was lovely - your set must be beautiful!
Rachel, your thrifting trip was so fruitful. You found the loveliest items; lamps, plates, and artwork. Love the patient curation of your home. I thoroughly enjoyed your video! 💞
Good moirning!
I'm glad you enjoyed your visit and found it to be helpful & inspiring! We appreciate you stopping by. Happy spring!
I love to see layers added. The bookends are lovely. Great idea on the buterpat for rings
Glad you enjoyed!
I love going thrifting!

You have such a great eye for gorgeous pieces! What a lovely home you have created-thanks for sharing 😊
Glad you enjoyed your visit, Miss Brittney! We appreciate you stopping by!
I’ve recently found my first thrifted pieces of the red transfer ware English castles. My husband and I had our DNA done and I found out my background is 86% from Wales. That burner cover would be a beautiful cake or dessert plate.
I’m currently on the hunt for the salt and pepper shakers to gift to myself for our 40th anniversary which is August 12.
You’ve given me so much inspiration for my home. Thank you Rachel.
Congrats on your first piece of red transferware, Miss Robin! Thanks for sharing.
Loved your haul today!! It is always such a pleasure every time.❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much!
your English Cottage is Beautiful!😍
Thank you, Sarah!
Yours is lovely as well! 😊
Sorry, the earth is a changin....it's spring time in the rockies, it's forty below...brrrrrr. so I've been in the yard, cleaning up fall and winter trash, and getting vines under control. Now, let's relax and watch your informational show...e
Thanks for watching, Miss Evelyn!
Delightful as always.
Lucky ducky you for finding such treasures and Thank You for sharing and inspiring us.❤
Good to see you back!
Thank you, Miss Lisa!
Hi Rachel. So nice to see your video waiting in the lineup.
Yay! Thank you!
Rachel, you provide just the right inspiration for the English country style of decorating. It's so helpful to see the process of decorating in this style. I always look forward to the next video. I watch with a little envy since our vintage shops in the Northeast (I live in CT) cannot compare to those in your neck of the woods. Thanks again and have a Blessed Easter!
Hello there, Miss Kirsten!
What a delight to hear you are inspired by our home & decorating style. I do find some pieces on eBay & Etsy, so you might try shopping there. Happy Easter to you, too!
The horse head bookends are perfect. I was telling you to take them home, and I was delighted to see them amongst your purchases. I've been on the hunt for a great set of bookends & I know patience will pay off. Thanks for sharing your haul.
Well, I guess I was listening!
With patience, you'll find some. Thanks for stopping by today!
Hello Miss Rachel. I love the Blue Boy game-that iconic painting is in Los Angles at the Huntington Library and Gardens-the most amazing place. I have that same Spode plate and I think it is a cake plate-that is what I have used it for but I love your ideas.
Hello!
The "Blue Boy game" is fun!
Yes, I do believe the Spode plate is for cakes ~ how fabulous that will look! Thanks for stopping by & have a blessed Easter.
The bookends are from Mexico, made of onyx. We bought a pair in Mexico for about 5 dollars.
Love all of your finds but the gifted pillow is gorgeous!! You are blessed to have such a viewer. Delores Hulse
Good afternoon, Miss Delores!
Yes, the needlepoint pillows are pretty and such a sweet gesture. We're glad you're here as part of the Stone Cottage Home family!
You found some beautiful things! It's hard to pick a favorite. I love the castle picture and the pitcher and the bookends. Looks perfect in your home.
Thank you, Miss Julie!
Love the hauls that you purchased. Love the red/ white transfer ware. Love how one can repurpose items I’m not bothered by slight chips or if there is cracks because they are very useful in other ways. Thank you for sharing and take care.
You're welcome, Miss Sylvia!
How FUN~! It's always a happy day when I see you've left us another video. What a wonderful selection you found on this one. The Tea Pot is definitely a treasure, however I'm with you about the castle painting.......dreamy😍
Glad you enjoyed your visit and stopped by to visit today, Miss Carolyn!
Fun haul! So many great treasures! Everything looks fabulous in your home, as always! That Spode piece looks great the way you styled it. It would look nice with a glass cloche, too.
Those pillows are gorgeous! Such lovely gifts!
Another great video!
💗💗💗
Ooo, the glass cloche is a good idea!
It was so lovely to see you on here this morning. I love the pretties you purchased. So much fun shopping for beautiful items to place in our home to bring beauty and joy. Happy Easter to you both. ~ Janet 😘
Good afternoon, Miss Janet!
It's lovely to see you here as well. We appreciate your faithful support of our channel! Have a blessed Easter.
So pretty finds, all of them. When you know your own style, all of your finds will fit in.
So true.
Thanks for watching today!
I was just thinking the other day that it has been a while since I've seen one of your videos come across my feed and voila 😁. I love transferware so this was a fun one! Thank you!
Thanks for thinking of me!
Yes, transferware in several colors is fabulous!
Hi Rachel.. so good to see you 😊 Lovely video with lots of inspiration as usual .. I’m really trying to follow your lead and stay intentional with my shopping and buy slowly.. I’ve been searching for a hutch for several months and finally found one at an Estate sale in my neighborhood! It was day 3 of the sale & I got it for 40 dollars!!! Solid maple..Ethan Allen in excellent condition.. it just needed a good clean and polishing.. I’m having a wonderful time decorating it with my antique dishes & it’s providing a lot of extra storage too.. I so look forward to your videos..Thanks so much for all your inspiration & education on creating the English Cottage look 😌 Belinda from Ky
What a wonderful find for a great price! How satisfying to watch & wait for just the right piece. Thank you for the kind comment and for being here, Miss Belinda!
You have found some AMAZING pieces Rachel!! I LOVE the collection of the Blue & White Dishes! They add the Perfect touch to the English Cottage! ☺️😄. I hope you and Matt have a beautiful and blessed Easter weekend! He is Risen,!! ✝️🙏🌷🌷🌷🌷
Hello, Miss Trudy & fellow blue-&-white lover! May you & your husband have a wonderful Easter as well! He IS risen!
You found some beautiful pieces. Love those bookends. What a great deal!
Glad you enjoyed your visit today. Thanks for stopping by!
I’ve been slowly changing to some English country I also like some primitive country. Nothing grungy,I think it looks messy. But my daughters have notice the change when they visit.😊
Aren't the slow, deliberate changes the most fun?! Happy English country homemaking!
Good morning, Ms. Rachel! So excited for this installment! Happy Easter to you & Mr. Matt. God Bless, Bobbie. ❤ ✝️🐇🌷
Good morning, Miss Bobbie!
I'm happy you enjoy thrifting together! Happy Easter, and God bless you, too! 💐
Beautiful video... thank you for taking us along. Happy Easter!
Welcome!
Happy Easter to you, too!
Lovely video. I scored a beautiful Spode plate this week for just $1.20. I love it.
Fantastic!
Finds like that bring such joy!
Love your curated look.
Thank you!
Love your channel! Went to your Etsy shop ( 2weeks past this post) and your Etsy shop is on hold! Your goodies must have sold quickly! ❤️😊
No worries!
We have been traveling and unable to fill orders. The shop will re-open in the next couple of days.
Good to see you today! What a wonderful thrift shop you have nearby! You found beautiful items for yourself, and I bet you could re-sell a wide variety of items from there in your Etsy shop! The pillows that were gifted to you are gorgeous!
Good to see you, too, Miss Janet!
You're on the same track with me - several items are listed now in our Etsy shop & have sold this morning!
The pillows are gorgeous and fit right in with our home.
Thanks for stopping by!
@@StoneCottageHome I just looked at the "sold" section of your Etsy shop and saw many of the new items that sold quickly - that's great!
Yes, it's always exciting to see these items finding new homes & making others happy!
You have a gift.. thank you for sharing it 😊
Absolutely!
I appreciate your kind comment and you being here!
Hi...I am happy to meet you and loved this video. I agree with the lady a few comments before me. The domed plate is a cake plate. Our taste in decorating is identical only I do not like anything blue! I have the same things in place settings, vases, tea pots only mine are red, green or white. We would be great shopping buddies! I'm headed to you're Etsy shop right now.
Welcome to the Stone Cottage Home family, Miss Joy!
We're glad to have you along!
Wonderful haul, I recently went to an antique store near me and found quite a few red transware. For a good price. I was so excited. I have been wanting to find red for certain holidays. Thank you again for sharing.
I understand the excitement!
Glad to hear you found what you were looking for at a great price. Thanks for dropping by!
As always beautiful 😊
Thank you!
Nice 🌴🌴 🪙 treasures
Thanks!
Beautiful finds! I have red & white, and blue & white transferware, but I recently began purchasing green & white to use with my red & white at Christmas.
Yes, the only thing better than one color of Transferware is...
Another color! 😉
Beautiful pieces!!! ❤
Glad you enjoyed!
Love it
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
I have the entire collection. Those were sold in a set of six.
I was so excited yesterday to see that there would be something new today. I'm not sure where I saw it previously, but I had seen the art of the two girls at the piano and had been searching places to get it and it popped up in your Etsy store. I immediately scoffed it up to help with the gallery wall I'm trying to create in my bedroom (in addition to the young girl art I previously purchased from you). Now I look around your home and keep an eye out in the Etsy store to see if you are going to sell any of my favorites!😁
Isn't it fun to find someone else with taste similar to yours?! I'm glad to know you found something you were looking for. 😊
The Willians-Sonoma copper pot seemed to be a great buy.
It really was!
I went back for it later and... we'll, someone else thought it was a great buy, too. Oh, well, there will be another one another time! 😊
Happy Easter !!!
Happy Easter to you, too!
Wonderful finds. Thanks so much for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for watching!
Please start your own etsy channel so that we can buy stuffs from you. Love from India ❤.
Good news, we do have an Etsy shop!
Here is the direct link: stonecottagehome.etsy.com
Blue Boy original painting is exhibited at Huntington Library in Pasadena, California. I just visited it recently. I love your style and decorating!
How fun to see the "Blue Boy" painting in person! Thanks for visiting, Miss Dolores!
I had those exact bookends when I was young and got rid of them 🤦🏻♀️ Such beautiful items!! Wishing you and Matt a Blessed Easter! ✝️
Oh, sad! Well, I bet you could find another pair in a thrift or antique shop if you're on the lookout. Have a blessed Easter! He is risen!
@@StoneCottageHome he has risen indeed hallelujah🙏
Oh what great finds! I love that antique watercolor, and all of your blue and white pieces. I'm at a point now where changing my decor is not really feasible, but I enjoy watching you decorate your beautiful cottage. Have a blessed Easter!
Glad you enjoyed your visit, Miss Susan. You have a blessed Easter as well!
You found wonderful treasures! So glad to see you back.
Thanks for watching!
Love all your videos. I collect very similar things as well. 😊
Wonderful!
Thanks for stopping by!
My Dad had some horse head bookends just like those
They are lovely classic pieces!
I have the sugar bowl that matches your cornflower blue, transferware tea pot ❤❤
Oh nice!
❤❤❤❤❤

If you don't already watch her, you might want to check out Parisisiene Farmgirl. Her home is amazing.
Thanks for the recommendation, Miss Linda!
The pieces you picked up are all so beautiful!! My jaw dropped when I saw the Johnson Brothers red dishware because I used to have several pieces of this style. I bought them for about a dollar 😄😄😄or less from a "junk" shop in 1977 and loved them. I must have lost or sold off my collection but still remember how beautiful the Johnson Brothers dinnerware is.
Great finds and thank you for sharing the knowledge you have regarding figuring out the age of wood frames!!
Hello, there!
I'm glad you enjoyed your visit!
Yes, it's rare and exciting to come across red & white transferware. Thanks for stopping by today!
Just saw those Royal Jackson plates ($2.99 each) on Etsy - 4 salad plates for $170!
Etsy is a wonderful place!
Γειά σου Ρειτσελ ❤Ο ουρανός είναι πίνακας ζωγραφικής ❤Όταν ανεβάζεις βιντεακι πετάει η καρδιά μου, τόσο πολύ που μου αρέσει ❤Πω πω τόσο ρομαντικά αντικείμενα, είσαι τυχερή που ζεις στην Υπέρ Ήπειρο ❤Και εμείς εδώ στην Ελλάδα έχουμε άλλα αλλά όχι σαν και εσάς Είναι ο γαλάζιος Αττικός ουρανός, η θάλασσα με της δαντελωτες ακρογιαλιές της, τα νησιά μας, τα πασίγνωστα φαγητά μας, και το ζεϊμπέκικο, και το συρτάκι Εμένα όμως η καρδιά μου είναι εκεί ❤Συγχαρητήρια σε όλα σου Ρειτσελ, είσαι πρώτη ❤Με αγάπη Ελεν ❤
Good morning, Miss Helen!
Greece sounds like a gorgeous place. I'm glad you are happy there. Thank you for taking the time to visit today. Blessings!
" Little Boy Blue "
I love the brass filigree cut lamp, the coffee/tea pot, and that vintage landscape water color. Just gorgeous!! Always thrilled when a new video comes out🌸 I live in Oklahoma…what is the name of the first place you visited (or did I miss the name)? ~Linda
Good evening, Miss Linda!
The first stop was a tiny thrift store called the R.O.C. It is connected to a church, and the initials stand for: "Reach Our City." Happy hunting!
Thank you, Rachel. 🌺 I look forward to eventually visiting there!
I think that is a Spode cake plate. I have one the same.
Yes, Ma'am, I believe you're right. A cake would look marvelous on that Spode plate!
❤❤❤🌹🌸🌷🙏🙏🙏
I think the horsehead book ends are alabaster, not marble...
I do believe you are right.
Thank you.
Can someone please explain to me what a thrift store is? I'm English and we have 'Charity shops ' where goods are donated for free and the proceeds go to the charity that the shop supports. Or, we have 'antique shops', some of which include goods from the 1950s - 1960s which of course aren't true antiques.
Is a thrift store a charity shop?
Hello there & welcome!
In the states a "thrift" shop is very similar to a charity shop except they are either a chain of stores (as in a franchise), or they are individually owned. There is one large thrift shop I frequent that gives 100% of their proceed to homeless women & children.
Antique shops can be a mixed bag with true antiques over 100 year old, or vintage items that are 25 years old, or less.
I hope this helps, let me know if you have any more questions!
Hey Rachel, what thrift store, please? Preacher’s wife and I want to go this week.
Good afternoon, Miss Gayleen!
The thrift store is called the "R.O.C" which stands for "Reach Our City." It's in NW OKC. Happy shopping!
@@StoneCottageHome
Thanks so much! Your kitchen looks great. 🤗
Thank you!
I live in okc ! What store was this?
Hello, there, Miss Kathryn!
This thrift store is called "the R.O.C.". Which stands for: "Reach Our City." Happy hunting!
