True North Thrifting, Antiquing & Vintage Garage Sales!
Vložit

- The True North, strong...and practically free! We're criss-crossing Vancouver, BC and surrounds, freestyling between appointments as we encounter random estate and garage sales, thrift stores we know have deals on our collector favorites...and one place we've never seen before!
We start at a cryptically advertised estate sale we found on Kijiji.ca, the Canadian equivalent to Craigslist. It's not packed, but everything is old, and runs the gamut from interesting painted theater screens to quaint English plaques! We enjoy true primitives and a cool copper kindling bin, then head through the countryside towards the big city...where another garage/estate sale catches our eye with a hand scrawled sign.
This one offers a hybridized US/Canadian mantel clock, fun foam ball caps and a garage full of tools, along with Wedgwood, Mats Jonasson paperweights, Portugese pottery butterflies, and even an old hamper that's worth pondering! We choose the best hat for the occasion, and then head towards a thrift store mecca that offers three different bargain hunts in one locale.
Talize is a thrift store chain that only people lucky enough to live in one of a dozen towns in BC and Ontario have seen, and we're intrigued! Right away, a table of Johnson Bros. Friendly Village and some rhinestone adorned Japanese tableware reflect the changes in taste as immigrants have come to this part of Canada, and we realize we're in for something different here. Bargain priced Pyrex with our newly acquired senior discount is the obvious buy, but Paragon China pieces, depression and pattern glass vie for our attention. Then it's across the street, where Value Village offers good deals on vintage and antique house goods we can flip for a profit, along with some furniture that's so delightfully low priced that we can hardly stand it!
Thrifting and garage sale-ing is so fun in a new location, and our foray into Greater Vancouver's offerings only whets our appetite for a future day devoted to thrifting in the great white north.

Very happy birthday George xxx🎉
Going back and watching again. There were a couple plates at the estate sale I liked - one had a sail ship on it, and the other had yellow warblers on it. I think the Avon _Cape Cod_ was made by Fenton, for Avon, wasn't it? I have some old board games - Nancy Drew, Dana Girls, Hardy Boys, Barnabas Collins, Dark Shadows, Rin-Tin-Tin, etc.. That "fast sale" display case was great!
Imperial did the first Cape Cod pattern in their heyday, then Avon commissioned Wheaton Glass to do their Cape Cod pattern in deep 1970s red. The fast sale case, how I regret leaving it! I just really wasn't sure the US border patrol would believe that I only paid the equivalent of $37.50 at the border, they are horrible there sometimes and could've claimed I owed more in tax than the piece cost.
A Belated Happy Birthday George! It seems they are all rushing to get rid of their full sets of dinnerware there in Canada. I like Corning bakeware. When I moved out and started my own kitchen the sale set was the plain white. I have some casseroles, and smaller sets as well. Between those and my longaberger 9x13 pottery bakers and pampered chef stoneware... lol worked through the 80s in Dexter Shoe factory with lots of women and party plans... 😂
@@TheAntiqueNomad OK, I had it wrong on the _Cape Cod_ by Avon. Wheaton did a lot of the miniature bottles, too, didn't they? I think I have a Drum and Cannonballs bottle by Wheaton, NJ. I think I would've left the sale tag on the case, and showed it to the border patrol. Surely they would accept receipt, wouldn't they? That was a unique piece. I'm sure you did regret having to leave it!
Happy Birthday to you! 🎉🥳🎊🎈🎁💝
P.S. Welcome to the Young at Heart and Wise Beyond My Years Club. I don’t feel anywhere close to being a Senior Citizen so I don’t call myself that. It’s all about perspective. ❤
Agreed! Thank you for that

I can’t believe you were in my neighbourhood - New Westminster, BC, Canada. I go to the thrift stores you went to a little further away - MCC and Talize. I would have been so excited to run into you! I love following you because I learn so much. Thank you and Happy Birthday! 🙏🏼❤️🎉
Oh missed your Birthday… happy belated birthday.🎂 I love Royal Albert.
Oh my! I guess I'll have to visit Canada to get cheap Pyrex prices! I've enjoyed your Canadian episodes just to see the comparison in items and prices.
Thanks! It's fun to compare. I have a few more from antique malls and a flea market to share
Happy belated birthday George.🎉🎂🍾

🎉Happy Birthday may you be living your best day week month and year of happiness!!
Thank you that's so nice!
HAPPY 35TH BIRTHDAY BUDDY
Thank you! I have wrinkles older than that though
I have my mom’s big Corning Ware dish , complete with lid . I use it quite often .
Glad you found some interesting stuff . Value Village isn’t far from where I live in Calgary . It’s a real mess , a very huge mess actually . They are opening up a boutique store here, downtown .
Happy Birthday George ! Now I know how old you are . Cause I know the age you get a seniors discount at Value Village , I get it too on Tuesdays 😂 at 30% . Salvation Army is only 10% for seniors , and Goodwill is 15% off on Wednesdays for seniors . Let me know if you’re ever coming up to Calgary . I’ll give you the names of small independent thrifts .
Interesting that they're doing a boutique, maybe that will clean up the old store too! I really want to get to Calgary, I went from Medicine Hat to Cranbrook when I came through southern Alberta
@@TheAntiqueNomadit’s opening up Sept 12.
Happy Bday. The bargin barons were chatting about you the other day
Happy birthday.
I will watch the replay!😊❤
Hope u had a great Birthday!
Great show as always!
I volunteer at Missions Thrift Store in Guelph, Ontario. Best Thrift store in town!
Happy Happy Birthday!
Hi George, lotto 649 is right across Canada, not just B.C. We shoot a lot of American t.V and film in Toronto.
I hope you had a Happy Birthday! I regret that furniture too!
Cheers to you ! 🤠 Best wishes today & always ! !
Happy, happy birthday!! Thank you for all your videos
Happy Birthday George 😝🎂😋🎂😜🎂🤪🎂😛🎂😝🎂😋🎂😜🎂🤪🎂😜🎂😝🎂
Thank you 🇨🇦
Happy Birthday! 🎉
Thank u! Fun video! Take care!
Interesting to see you shopping in the thrifts in my area. I never find any good vintage porcelain or glass in Value Village. All the thrifts have tons of Johnson Bros., and shelves of teacups and saucers, mostly priced too high considering single item (a cup and saucer) Royal this and Royal that are so common. All the thrifts - and also all the antique malls/stores - stock multiple Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew, despite thousands of copies lying around: I think the dealers like them more than their customers!
❤❤❤❤❤❤
George I believe the EAPG bowl is Starflower by Nova Scotia Glass Co
Happy birthday!!
Happy Birthday! Discount is always good even if it means you have to be a little older to get it lol
❤❤❤
Happy Birthday George,Welcome to our land.
Love it up there! I have 3 more antique mall and flea market videos to share from Vancouver area in the next few weeks
I hope your birthday was a blast! 💥
Buy yourself something for your birthday!😊
Aww, Joan, that is so sweet! Thank you so much
Happy belated birthday!
Happy birthday 🎂 😊
Good evening, George. That Pontiac was fantastic! I liked the cedar box. Those have always appealed to me. That was some beautiful Royal Albert china there. Those blue and chrome dinette chairs reminded me of the old Arvin metal dinette sets, with the way they were made.
It's been a difficult day, so I'm a little distracted tonight. Those looked like some fun places to shop. Thanks for taking us along!
Hi my friend! I'm sorry to hear that, I hope this was at least a brief getaway. I'm a cedar box fan, and I loved the Royal Albert even if it was out of my budget! Arvin metal, there were so many dinette set makers but their stuff was classically 1950s. I'm glad you got to come with me!
Happy birthday 🎉
