  • FIND THRIFT SHOP DEALS | VINTAGE RESELLING | GOODWILL VS INDEPENDENTS
    The December tornadoes only temporarily foiled my plans to shop and film the thrift stores of Bowling Green! After hearing that some of those shops were hit, we wanted to go shop and support them, and see whether any good deals blew in over the three month hiatus.
    Our first stop is the south end, home of the town's best Goodwill to find vintage. We almost instantly find our first bargain,an auspicious start in a shop we often pass by in favor of the more fertile independent thrifts and consignment stores!
    Next , we see the damage inflicted on a large strip mall, where we hope the two independent thrift shops have managed to reopen! There behind boarded windows is Gramma's Attic, a large combination thrift and consignment shop with good prices on true antique furniture, vintage clothing, lots of collectible housewares and even a fun and funky hat like you probably have never seen! Next door, we comb St. Theresa's, a 100% thrift store where a beautifully decorated Westmoreland piece and a surprisingly old Franciscan China bowl are near misses.
    After my dental appointment, it's on to Consignment World, another new stop for me in what's becoming a thrift mecca to which I will return! This store has a lot of antiques, vintage and old furniture, from cheap deals on a 1970s working hi-fi stereo console and an 1890s hall tree to stately prints, fun wall pockets, Victorian English china and 1960s glass, with even a 1940s motorcycle gas tank to make it more interesting! We also talk about how to tell newer Chinese import furniture from old, meet a sleepy dog and show a "Victoria" pitcher that's far from Victorian.
    We leave a long day of thrifting happy to see the revival of some hard-working thrift stores after their terrible debacles, with some bargains in the car to boot!
    Here's a few of the items we gather and see along the way:
    Primitive 1890s corner cupboard, oxen yokes, Minion plush, Noritake casserole, 1970s candle sconces, Hull Pottery pitcher, Pendleton coats, buttonholer, Pfaltzgraff Yorktowne deviled egg server, ceramic shoes, French parquetry dining table, English wardrobe, majolica pitcher, 1960s luggage, 1910s music cabinet, 1880s candle stand dressers, Victorian oak washstands, 1950s fumigated oak dresser set, McCoy planter and cookie jars, dome top trunk, TV Guide, vintage Scottish bagpiper shag rug, 1930s mini loom, Sessions art nouveau mantel clock, German 1890s wall clock, Snow White Disney portable record player, Schmid Hummels, Syroco black Americana thermometer, Field-Limoges plates, hen on nest, circa 1900 oak secretary desk, Adams Portia Shakespeare plate, Hull Pottery pink matte floral vase, antique cameo, vintage fishing lures, Brittains lead soldiers, Salem art deco dinnerware set, 1984 World's Fair mug, Canton Victorian English serving bowl, Haeger bird figurine, sock darner, cast iron teapots, 1970s big-eyed children prints, 1970s salon hair dryer chair, early 1900s school desks, 1960s grand opening sign, Mexican Saltillo throw, resin grapes, Pyrex mushroom bowls, Schwinn bike, King's Crown goblets, oil cans, etc.

    In college, I made money by sewing for people in my dorm. I sewed for a girl whose mother worked at a Pendleton factory. They bought mill ends by the pound, and I sewed lots of jackets and stuff. She also let me have a lot of pieces that she didn’t want. To this day, I love Pendleton! Sadly, the factory and the outlet store have moved

    When you mentioned the 2000s ceramics having that felt design on the bottom, it is from pushing the ceramic slab of clay through a roller to flatten it! It has a thick cloth on it, and it would make that imprint. At least the one I used to use made that same exact imprint. Its used to create an even thin piece of ceramic, just like the funky looking mermaid piece.

    Good evening, George! I liked that English wardrobe and the French table. I have one of the Victorian candlestand dressers...out in the garage. No place to put it in the house. Loved the aisle with the Eastlake dresser and washstands. I liked the toy tractor next to the McCoy wishing well. I actually liked that bagpiper shag carpet. I would've bought the Session clock. I have several keys lying about, too. The German wall clock was a nice one, too. I have a thing for old, striking clocks. Never seen a hat like that! I like that oak secretary desk. My aunt has one of the Jim Beam "Penny" poodle decanters. Love the lead soldiers. I have a complete set of "The Rose" lead chess pieces, still in the original box, from England. I hate when people paint old furniture. Arrgghhh...I wish I still had my cast iron kettle! I sold it when I moved here and have regretted it ever since. That German child's dish would've tempted me...kind of liked that. The hall tree was really nice, and the slimmer profile would be easier to situate than some of the ones with the seats on them. Those places would be fun to browse...never know what you might come across in them. Thanks for the take-along!!!!!

    • @TheAntiqueNomad

      I should have bought the Session clock! I usually don't feature so much furniture, but there were good deals on true antique pieces and I thought they deserved attention.

      @@TheAntiqueNomad I don't even have anywhere to put another clock, but I would've had to have got that Sessions one. The pieces of furniture were well worth showcasing! After my dad died, I moved here with mom to help take care of her. I had a 5000 sq. ft. house...packed with antiques. Her house is about half that size, and we had to combine the two. All of us have collected antiques as long as I've been alive, so there was a lot that had to be sacrificed, by mom and myself. She sold some things I wish were still here, too. That hall tree would definitely be worth getting. The size and its slimmer profile would make it appealing to anyone that has a limited space. It's really fun to take these tour with you!!!

    Time for revisit to Bowling Green Consignment World ??? Curious if those 20 dollar encyclopedias are still sitting there 🤦🤔 I'd inherited a set in 2003. When you have to move them from one apt to another and another it's great to be able to Let Them Go !! The bookstore I donated them to burned year or so later ! I've gone thru vhs, cassettes, photos and im Abt to dig into the books!! I have my first one here. Warman antique guide. With so much online books don't get touched at all.

      I was living in the Tri Cities, WA when Mt.St.Helens arupted. The wind blew a lot of the ash our way, covering our cars,etc. There were drifts of it that looked like snow. I was thinking at the time someone could make some money if they could figure out what to do with it. I laughed at the little bottles of ash they sold to tourists when I could scoop the stuff up by the bucket full if I had wanted...maybe I could have made some money if I was a little smarter! 😅
