- Hope you enjoy this second stop at the perfume counter at Stern's Department Store. I have some new sights and sounds for you this time, including a vintage bottle of Shalimar and a brass pneumatic tube carrier for sending charge card approvals "upstairs." My vintage register drawer also makes an appearance again. And lots of crinkly paper bags.

The old school charge card stamper ALONE shows how authentic these role plays are and how hard you strive to make them so. Absolutely lovely ❤
Makes me feel soooo old lol- I grew up in the 80s with those slider charge machines lol (and when they called them charge cards lol).
I was wondering what that thing at the beginning was. So cool!
Thank you!! I just about died when I found that pump handle addressograph. 😀😀😀
You are the best …don’t ever feel unappreciated!!! We “of a certain age” just LOVE you !
Idk why this doesn't have thousands of views already. It's a masterpiece!!!! I love all the vintage elements
Oh, I’m so glad you like it, Walter. What kind words and encouragement. Thank you for saying that. 💚💚✨
@@MidModMeridianASMR it's the true! You have a very sharp eye and mind for details. Every object looks brought just from the respective decade, and the environment too!
Right? How has CZcams not recommended this to me earlier!
Now almost 10k views! Love it!
Completely agree. Absolutely love this.
The perfume bottles themselves are beautiful, and their presentation in this video is exquisite. These videos not only relax me, they transport me to another era 💚🛍️
I’m really glad to hear my TARDIS is working, Victor. That’s the best compliment you could pay me. 💚☺️✨
@@MidModMeridianASMR For a few moments I didn't understand the reference to the TARDIS ⏳💫, until I remembered Doctor Who 😅
😂😂
You are the best! I am a product of the bygone era, (being born in 1943) and really enjoy and remember a lot of the content. Such wonderful and relaxing ASMR! Also, your dresses are interesting. How did you become so interested in that time? I would love to know.
Hi there!! I grew up in the 60s and 70s, so my interest in the period is almost entirely based in nostalgia. My house is filled with MCM furniture and tchotchkes, and I was also a big fan of Mad Men. I’ve been watching ASMR for probably 13 years and in all that time, I toyed with starting my own channel but never did bc I knew I didn’t have anything unique to bring to the table. But then the 1960s connection dawned on me and I had my channel focus. ✨🍸 Thanks for asking!!
Sherri 💚💚
When I was growing up in the 80s, we had to do slide credit cards with carbon copy receipts. I think they were called knuckle busters. We would call the credit card company to get them okay'd and then we would mail in the slips for reimbursement! So crazy how my childhood was closer to the 60s than it is to now.
Oh yeah, knuckle busters!! I never used one myself but I always remember thinking, one slip of the hand and things could go very wrong. 😬
Please never stop making videos! They are such wonderful journeys into a beautiful moment in time. All these things I’ve almost forgotten. (i’m in tears as I type this as it reminds me of my mother.). Thank you for bringing back those memories for me.❤❤
You are so very welcome, Madeline. I’m glad I can play a role in bringing back good memories for you and your mother. 🌺🌺🌺✨
I live and work in Manhattan and it still cracks me up every time I see the pneumatic tubes in older buildings here, like a time capsule. Loved that little element!
Oh, I loved them as a kid. I aspired to one day be a department store clerk so I could work the pneumatic tubes. 😂😂
I’m shook that someone combined my love of MCM aesthetics and asmr… this is truly a gift 💝
That’s precisely how and why I decided to create this channel. I have watched ASMR videos for upwards of 12 to 13 years, and every now and then I toyed with starting my own channel. It took me a while before I realized I could use my love of mid century modern style and history to make ASMR videos. Glad you’re enjoying the channel. ☺️☺️☺️💚
How am I just finding out about this channel? 😱 It’s like it dropped down from heaven! I love the muted crowd sound in this one.
I'd forgotten about pneumatic tubes. The building my father worked in when I was 5 or 6 years old had the tubes. Great memory. Thanks
I'm mad this doesn't have more likes and views. this is amazing and a masterpiece! Your voice is so soothing as well 😊😊
Thank you, Ariel. I appreciate your kind words. 💚💚
All I want to say is the vacuum tube made me happy. Is that weird?
Another classy video! Thank you.
Ha! Not weird at all. That’s why I included it. My mom used to take me and my brother to the downtown department stores when we were kids. It’s such a vivid memory, watching the store clerks, use the pneumatic tubes, and hearing the swoosh and the thump. Thanks for watching! 😊
This channel should have at LEAST 80K by now! Amazing videos!! Im very picky about my ASMR and you are KILLING IT, ma'am.
I love to hear that, Brain Glitch!! Thank you! ☺️☺️✨
My mother graduated from high school in 1964 and she loved Shalimar her whole life. The only perfume she ever used. Another great video!
Heaven scent! 💐
Thank you, Myles. 💕
Although I'm too young to have lived in the 60s/70s, your videos remind me of movies from the time that have some great asmr moments. Thank you for your high quality videos! 5k subs isn't nearly enough
That’s just a wonderful comment, ScaryWaffles. I watch movies from the 60s for inspiration all the time. Thank you for making my day. ☺️💚✨
Hi Scarywaffles, fyi when I was growing up in the 70's, if I took my mom's department store credit card, I had to carry a hand-written note (which I always wrote) saying it was ok for me to use her credit card. 😉 Pretty ridiculous, right?
@@alg2158 You are correct!! Also, women could use their husband’s credit cards (with their husband’s name on them) and then sign: Mrs. John Smith. 😂😂
Lovely to watch again Sherri. Beautiful collection of perfume flasks, they are works of art in themselves. I hope you have as much fun collecting and presenting as we do viewing and listening. Wonderful and nostalgic, as always I feel i can smell and touch, too. Thank you for giving me something nice to see while my eyes recover ❤ Sherri
Yes, I do have loads of fun finding my props. That’s without a doubt my favorite part of the process.
Thanks for watching, Ian. I hope your eyes are doing just great.
😳😉💚
Wow! That charge card reader/contraption sure looks like quite a workout!! I really love the crinkle of the paper bags and receipts. The sights and sounds of this perfume counter make for a pleasant and soothing experience. And...Sherri, your voice comforts me. ❤
I love love that charge card imprinter so much. That deep, dull, grinding sound is (oddly) very satisfying to me. 😀😀
And I’m glad you enjoyed the video, Miss Kitty. I put a lot of work into this one. So happy you feel comforted by my voice. 💚💚💚
About 10 years ago, I worked for a company that refused to update its technology and we had to use one of those charge card contraptions to ring up customers at events.
Our computers still had that DOS black screen with the green text interface.
(I'm a millennial.)
I love your videos!!
You do a fantastic job in setting the scene. I remember those perfume counters, they were out-of-reach ($) to me during the 1970's, so I had to buy drug store cologne. Finally, one Christmas I got several Halston cologne products, and I went perfume counter from then on 😊
Just found this channel and I'm so glad. Wonderful relaxing asmr. Thank you. You definitely should have thousands of subs.
I’m so glad to hear my vids are working for you. I love making them!! ✨✨
That marble slab thing is super, super classy.
I know!! I found it randomly at an antique mall. No idea about its original use, but I grabbed it up for my pharmacy videos. And then it seemed perfect for Sterns’ perfume counter, too.
Oh, that paper bag was exquisite! So many gorgeous touches. And such attention to detail! 😊❤
Thank you so much!
This is so great!! Ahhhhhh, your hands and nails! Can remember all of these items from decades ago! If only people would slow down and be as particular and courteous like they were back then! Thank you for yesteryear!!❤❤❤❤ Mrs. J
Wow is this really what it was like? I was born in 85 so the gravitas of the charge card and pre-approval is so interesting and different!
Yup. Everyone had charge cards, different ones for different stores. My brother and I were always fascinated by the pneumatic tube system. I dreamed of one day being a store clerk myself and using it. 😂😂
So calming and elegant in the way she moves. So relaxing to watch
I’m glad you’re enjoying my vids and are finding relaxation here. 💚✨✨✨
The suction tube whoosh! Hospitals still had them in the mid 90s!
I LOVED them. I always wanted to be a department store sales clerk so I could operate them. 😂😂
What a delight for my eyes and ears! Thank you so much for your attention to detail, it's amazing! 😊
You’re very welcome, Corie. I’m glad your eyes and ears are happy. ☺️☺️☺️💚
Here I am, relaxed watching the video then you pulled out a pneumatic tube canister! 😮
Is that a good thing or a bad thing? 😂😂
@@MidModMeridianASMR It was exciting! It was such a great detail!
Superb visuals - you completely immersed me into your world, Sherri. See you at lunch!! ❤
Ha! See you at lunch! Don’t forget to wear your Shalimar on your first day. ✨✨✨
The timing on this is perfect. ❤
Yay!! 💚💚💚
I love this one almost as much as the Avon one on a hot day where you're sipping the soda. I don't know what equipment you use to capture your sounds but they are heavenly. The papers, writing, soft speaking, it all picks up so clearly I love it!!
Ahh, thank you so much. Getting the sound right has been a long journey for me (watch one of my early ones and you’ll see what I mean 😬). Today, I use a Sennheiser MK4 condenser microphone and a Zoom H4n recorder. I absolutely love it.
What a superb video - such detail. Thank you so much. Please do make more - you’ve got a few more bottles there that would be great to use! I’d love to se more.
More to come! Within the week. ☺️☺️☺️
One of my favorite places to visit the perfume counter at Stern's Department Store. I am always amazed with your vintage props. Wherever did you acquire the brass pneumatic tube? Thanks Sherri for another delight! ❤️
I found it on Etsy. Once I decided to do a department store set, I knew I had to have one, so I searched high and low. It just seems like yesterday that my brother and I were shopping with my mom at the local department store. We were always fascinated by that whole pneumatic tube system. Can you imagine being one of the girls who received all those containers and routed them to their correct tube? 😂😳😵💫
I'm seeing the same perfume bottles my grandmother has. Takes me back. Thanks!
Wonderful! ☺️☺️☺️✨
This is such a great video! Your asmr style is so unique and impressive ❤
That’s a wonderful thing to say. Thank you so much!! 💚💚
Pneumatic tubes!!
Omg! This takes me back to a simpler time in my life!! What I’d give to go back!! Love the asmr sounds ❤️❤️❤️‼️
Thank you for this beautiful content ❤️ I've been an avid asmr watcher & listener for 13 years & your soft spoken is gold! You're doing an amazing job! Keep it up ❤
That Sterns charge card!!!! My grandmother still kept hers until she passed. I held it in my hand once and was ashtonisher by the smaller size!! You took us to a place 40 year olds didnt get to experience. The Real Shopping Experience!! 🎉🎉🎉❤❤
Oh that’s cool and sweet at the same time. I’m glad I could help you time travel a bit. ✨✨✨
What a calming and serene experience this is! ❤
WHAAAT?!?! How have I not come across this channel before/earlier? This is amazing! 👏😍❤️
Thank you so much!! 💚💚💚
You have an incredible amount of vintage stuff!!! I was thinking I remember all these things from when I was a child! And then I realized I am VINTAGE 😂
Umm, yes you are. 😂😂😂 (But so am I, so welcome to this awesome club.)
How did I not see this?! Truly amazing!!!
Thank you. ☺️☺️☺️💚✨
Your attention to detail is exquisite. And the fact that you take your time is just my favorite.
Thank you for the first tingly scalp I’ve had in ages❤
I'm so glad to hear that!!!! What did it for you? I’m always curious. This is coming from someone who has also struggled with tingle immunity over the years.
A few years ago there was this video circulating in my CZcams feed, a genuine video from the 60s showing how a very elegant lady is preparing custom pressed powder for her equally elegant client. It wasn't intended to be ASMR, but it had that effect on me, beside the sheer wholesomeness of watching it - the pretty little bottles, the red nail polish, the nimble fingers handling the face powder in cute boxes.. Back then I wished there was a whole channel with lots of similar videos, because the one in question was very short and just one.
Today I am happy that I have found your channel, because the whole vibe and aesthetic of it is exactly like that video I am talking about - so soothing and pleasant to not just listen but also watch!
How wonderful to read you comment. I'm so happy I'm able to bring some of that back for you. ✨
Sherri! You are incredible! I am in love with all your videos. Thank you for doing this! I love all the thought you’ve put into them. It doesn’t go unnoticed! We are so grateful!
What a nice comment. You are very welcome! ☺️💚✨
This is such a lovely and relaxing video. I wish more people knew about your channel and subscribed. The quality of your videos is superb!
What a gracious thing to say, Amanda. I appreciate your encouragement more than you know. ☺️💚✨
Born in the late 50s, again I have to tell you you take me back to a beautiful and simple time in my life for everything was just so. Also, I would love that perfume with the gardenia Jasmine and Sandalwood.😅❤
This is amazing! So much detail and beautiful presentation.
Thank you. ✨✨ I’m so glad you liked it.☺️☺️
Amazing!!
I really like your calm voice and all the paper and writing sounds too.
Thank you so much 😀
So soothing and relaxing, great job!
Thank you! 😊
Okay, Im so in love with this place! Your channel is AMAZING! God Bless!
This brings back memories❤ what a wonderful video!
Glad you enjoyed it, Kimmy Jo. ☺️☺️☺️💚
The creaking sound reminds me of the old wooden floors that were in all the old stores. Love it!!
Right! I love those sounds too. All those old department stores in the 60s enjoyed a long life before then, many all the way back into the late 1800s or early 1900s.
This is SOOOOO good! Thank you thank you! This is such a unique video, and the old school sounds are absolutely divine!!
Glad you enjoyed it! 💚💚
Lovely!
Thank you, Jackie. 💚
Your videos are absolutely heavenly! I’ve only just discovered you and am thrilled there’s so many videos to catch up on. Your aesthetic, voice and use of ambient sounds (crinkly paper 💜) are all perfect.
I can't believe I've only just found your channel - this is amazing! thank you
Welcome! 💚💚💚💚
As a teenager in the mid to late 70s I worked in a department store and had forgotten about the experience of handling a credit card sale--this video brings back vivid memories! Waiting for approval to come back through the tube while trying to chat up the customer who was anxious to get going was the worst!
Isn't that funny? I just wanted to be old enough to WORK the pneumatic tube system. lol
Omg, I am in LOVE with your channel! ❤ these vintage roleplays are so cool!
❤❤❤❤❤❤ perfect timing for my early night
Hope you had a lovely night, Emma. 💚💚
@@MidModMeridianASMR I put this on, got comfy in bed & fell asleep 😀
Your videos are absolutely heavenly. You manage to create such an utterly comforting atmosphere that is simply divine~
That’s funny, I said exactly the same thing and I hadn’t seen your comment. Heavenly is definitely the right word!
The gentle glass 🥂 clicks , soothing low way she talks with us, the subject of oil .. also so heady and almose as a dull hazy day in summer one leg dangly over the knitted cotton hammock
Oh, my! Your comment is poetry. Thank you so much for that. 🥰
This is beyond amazing. The talent, creativity, the props simply amazing
Wow, thank you! I appreciate that very much. ✨✨✨☺️
lovely Sherri thank you x
☺️☺️ Thank you, Kim. ☺️
Now this i can appreciate,on so many different levels. Great job! I say this video is ASMR video of the yr
How kind. 🥰
This video is pure gold! I subscribed immediatly
Thank you, Claudia!! Welcome to the 60s!! 👗💄🍸✨
I just discovered your channel and I am obsessed! Your videos are so unique and give me such nostalgic memories. Your voice, your props, and your themes are so fantastic! Please keep up the great work. Wishing you massive success!!
Thank you so much, Gina! ☺️☺️☺️
I enjoy all your videos so much, I love the vintage style
Thanks so much 😊
I used to work at an antique shop in 2009 and used to look at old gadgets like that. It was cool
Oh you did!? I would have loved that. I also would have gone broke. 😂😂
I watched this last night. I loved it. Thank you xx
Glad you enjoyed it, Miranda. ☺️☺️
the crinkly sounds of the carbonless paper are so tingly and mesmerizing 🤤🤤
They really are! I’m so glad I found those vintage triplicate forms. 💚💚💚
Amazing !❤
Thank you, Cristina!! 😘😘
Always ask Sherri to destroy the carbon paper after your purchase. You don't want anyone to steal your charge card number.
😂😂
your voice is exactly what I'd imagine SouthernASMR Sound's voice would be like if she didn't have her southern accent. Both amazing ASMR artists. ❤️
That’s quite the compliment. I love love love Mary. She’s so mesmerizing (especially her library videos) and I just love her sense of humor. Thank you. 💚💚💚
The details!!
Yes!! My favorite thing . . . details. 💚💚💚
This is great! Love the style, dresses are amazing, the scene is beautiful! Just love midcentury vibe.
Im curious if it was like that. I mean for me it looks so unfamiliar 🙂
thank you for what you are doing! Id like to know more about this time and your nostalgia 🔥this is so unique
I feel like timetravelling. Wow veeeeery well made! All my compliments!
Wow, thank you! 💚💚💚
As soon as you start talking, my eyelids start to droop and I’m ready to 😴❤️😌
Perfect! 😴😴😴
👌 Such a feast for the eyes as well as ears. 🙏👏
💚✨✨✨
Fantastic!
Thank you! Cheers!
Had to stop by when I saw my mom's perfume-Shalimar. It smells sooo amazing on her. I remember shopping in Atlanta at Richs department store. I loved it and I adore this video! Thank you!
That’s a wonderful memory. Sense of smell is a powerful purveyor of nostalgia. 🌬️👃🏼🙃🙂🙃🙂🙃🥹✨
This is perfection. 🤍😭 so absolutely elegant and decedent! I’m 22 and shalimar is my favorite perfume for winter, I am so deeply thrilled I discovered your channel, it is just incredible! 🤍🤍🤍
Love your comment! And I love Shalimar too!! Thank you! 💚💚💚
New Sub here, you are my new fave 😊
Yay! Thank you! ☺️☺️☺️💚
Awesome!!!
Thanks!! 💚💚
Nice job!!
Thanks!
You deserve so many more viewers and subscribers….Beautiful! ❤
Thank you so much 😀💚💚💚💚💚
I worked at a Sears makeup and fragrance counter when I came of age in the mid-90s, and we were still trained on how to use the charge card imprinters, just in case the electric registers went down for some reason. I immediately recognized Shalimar at the opening of the video, because I’m an old soul and it’s the first one I put on my Christmas list for my beau back then. Still one of my very favorites. My mother, born in the 40s, asked me how I knew about Shalimar. I told her that a book character that I liked wore it. She was more partial to Elizabeth Taylor fragrances herself, but I do remember the two of us sharing a bottle of L’Air du Temps that we bought at JCPenney.
I’m a new subscriber- love your style!
I've got a L'Air du Temps video coming up in a month or two! ☺️
Fantastic video!
Thank you very much! ☺️☺️☺️✨
So lovely! I loved the card stamper (the best is the roll over kind). I do wish you used the stapler sound (idea: record the sound of the stapler on sacrificial paper) then add the sound in to the video (and you can decrease it's volume if it's too loud). I love the style of this and the old register.
Great idea about the stapler sound. Sometimes it’s hard to get the mic close enough to a particular object without getting it into the camera frame. ☺️☺️☺️
Great props
Thank you! ☺️✨
the video is wonderful and the pendant you're wearing is exactly the same as the one Joan wears in 'Mad Men' 😊
Thank you!! It’s not exactly the same, but close enough. Joan was definitely the look I was going for. 💄💄💄✨
I just discovered you. I love your videos! You should have thousands of subscribers! Thank you ❤. What color is your nail polish? I love it. 😊
The dress you’re wearing in this video is fantastic! You have a terrific voice for ASMR and your accent is very relaxing. Just found your channel and will be watching more videos❤
You like my little Appalachian accent? Thank you! I can’t hear it, of course, but I always wonder what it sounds like to others. 💚💚💚
@@MidModMeridianASMR sounds great, like Barbara Kingsolver
That’s so funny because I don’t think Barbara Kingsolver has an accent. 😂😂
I wish I could’ve grown up in this time.
Asi se trabajaba. Precioso tu trabao y tus manos
Thank you. 💚💚
Kids, that’s how vendors used to have to accept credit cards.
😂
❤❤❤ love this style so much!! Did you really have to put the receipts in a tube and send it somewhere for approval?
I remember tubes being sent via a wire up to the Mezzanine where the credit dept. was in a small town store in the 1960s. In fact, sears,in the local mall, also had a mezzanine for the credits dept. that was open to the public to apply for furniture loans etc. but no tubes at the time.
☺️☺️☺️ Yes, really! When my brother and I were kids in the 60s, my mom would take us to one of the downtown department stores where they used pneumatic tubes all the time. I used to think how fun it would be to be old enough to work in a department store and use one. 😂😂 Big dreams, right!?
You made a better one. Well done.!!
Ha!! Thank you for noticing. ☺️☺️☺️✨💚
