Fried green tomato is actually a movie, great wall find
Love the Unique Rattan Jeep, and PIC NIC Basket
My husband liked the little rattan Jeep as well :)
Cute real touches the adorable little boy and pets love it!
love your finds wow so amazing , especially the huge scale wow!
I have that brass horse. My grandmother bought it for me brand new during the mid 90's for my birthday.
I just bought an older large white wicker picnic basket. It need some love so I gave it a new coat of paint, washed up the liners and it makes perfect storage and display. I gave it new life and saved it from a landfill. Love the real life.
What a great idea!
I used to sell, what we called a wooden widget. That is what I would refer the goose to as.
When it is not in use as a basket, it is a trivet!
First time I have seen any of your videos, and I truly enjoyed it!
Thanks so much!
My Dad was the librarian in the public library in northern Missouri years ago and used a stamp like that to stamp due date into books when they were checked out
Love the fried green tomatoes sign.
I believe the stamper was used to put prices on things. I can remember those being used in groceries stores when they used to actually put prices on items.
Those types of stamps, especially with consecutive, revolving numbering, was, and still is, also used in the legal field......
Yes, my grandfather used one in his grocery store when I was a child.
Fabulous haul, so many unique and fun items. Love a good vintage haul, thanks for sharing
Thanks for coming along Robin!
The picnic basket is Redman brand,,,they are so great...a woman began making them in 1882 in Peru, Indiana
Wow!! I had no idea. That’s awesome.
I have a pear flat/collapsing basket! Love the swan
GREAT HAUL.....
A tip trick is to stamp over it with a bee or butterfly or flower....
The tiny, white vase is perfect!🤍✨
Thanks!! I agree!
I like your Real Life haul video - it is genuine! At home and comfy cozy with your drink, cat, dog, boy and talking about what we are all here to see ya discuss. Happy 2022 to you. Looking forward to more great content.
Haha, thanks! Happy 2022 to you as well :)
A junk journal maker would love that stamp. 😀
Just found my new favorite channel!
Sweet!!! Thanks!
I like the suggestion of not putting all the brass together. I have done that, so I'm going to rethink my display. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
That's a Bates stamp used to consecutively number pages of evidence. We used to use them in law offices before computers replaced them. :)
That’s super helpful!
Just hopping around this stormy day and came upon your channel and subscribed. Quite a collection of unique finds in your area - hope to see more. Enjoyed the comforts of your home. Catskill Mountains upstate New York
Thanks so much! Stay warm!
Very similar Nozzles on 1stDibs for over £500! Lucky find xxx
Those firehose nozzles are really really neat!
I like them too!!
I would have 100% bought the mountain print- just love the color
😊 agree!
Just discovered you on utube, love your channel and love your finds!
Thank you Betsy! Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Redmon has been making picnic baskets since 1883 -- $5 is an amazing price! The Bates stamp you found used to be something regularly used to number documents in paperwork intensive businesses -- like a law office.
Good to know, because my mother's picnic basket, which I have, looks a lot like the one in this video.
One of my favorite things is when a reselling CZcamsr that I look up to, such as yourself 🥰, finds something like I just recently found! It is so encouraging and boosts my confidence. The green pitcher - I found a clear one just like it at my local bins last week. I also found 5 milk glass bud vases in various patterns! Cost average was $0.51/each! 🥰 Can I get a high five on that! ✋️🥰 Thank you for all that you do! I'm so glad that I have found your channel!
Woo hoo!! 👏👏 That’s awesome!
Great video 🌱
Just found your channel. I love shopping and repurposing vintage items. I think the fire hose nozzles would make attractive candle holders and if the picnic basket is as large as it appears it would make a great blanket storage/end table in a family room.
Great ideas!
Hi .. really enjoyed your video..I do want to mention that I had a bit of a scare.. early in the video I thaught ther was a Snake head on the floor to the right..I rewind the video showed my husband ..that's when I realized it was your cat's tail 😂😂😂😂
Oh my gosh… had it been a snake head, it would have been a much more entertaining video bc it would have climbed on top of the table screaming-I’m terrified of snakes 😂😂
Love the scale!
I adore that ironstone pitcher, and what a price!
I know, right??!!
I love your channel and that you’re “real”! ❤️
Awesome! Thanks so much :)
Just found you and enjoyed your haul.
Thanks for letting us know where you are, even though you resell your finds. It amazes me how different flea markets are in the USA.
What a fun haul! Happy selling! 🌟❤️🌟
Thanks! It was super fun 🤩
Oh, Hawkeye is another great woven picnic basket maker, they also made bassinets!! Elizabeth
Great haul! Stamper used for pricing items in grocery stores, etc. before upc coding.
I thought the stamper looked like what I've seen used in libraries for numbering books in their collection - long ago.
cool stuff love the horse
Thanks Doris :) The horse is a lot of fun
They use to use those to price a lot of the same thing in stores ugh as grocery stores when I was younger.
Fun video! Many thanks for sharing! Loved the green pitcher, the brass horse, the vintage picture and the cream or white milk pitcher. Great finds! 👌🥰
You’re welcome Peggy! Glad you came and shopped along
REAL is great !!! First time watching and did appreciate you tone ... good luck with the brass hose nozzels. They would look good in the right setting. I am thinking of looking into similar venture and need to learn as much as I can...
Thank you!
woow al those craft suplies.
Never find that here!
I love old teddy s and dolls.
Love nice pottery and glassware.
Never find old book here, would love some.
Looking to upgrade my furniture.
Love the scale and the green pitcher best
new subsciber, greetz from Belgium
Hi enjoyed your awesome finds. By the way, those fire brass sprayers! You can get those, real thin skinny, wax long candles. And use them as candle holders. Just thought 🤔 it would, be a great idea! For ya!! ☝️🤗💋😘✌️☮️✊😆
Thanks so much for watching! Love your idea for the nozzles :)
Shopping videos are my favorite! Loved your items.
Thanks so much!
So fun to hear you talk about Tontitown! I grew up near there
My husband is and some of his brothers and dad were also firemen. We have several brass hoses still packed away and I can not wait to decorate with a few of them! We also have an old board that has hoses listed on it and it's super cool. There are a lot of fire fruits ( that's what he calls them) and firefighters that collect fire memorabilia. I'm excited to to actually start incorporating some of these items now that my house has gotten new floors and a few more pieces of furniture in it. We moved this house about 5-6 years ago and I wasn't so crazy about it so I didn't decorate it much.
On the western books, go to Michael and get some rubber stamps of a horse or guns. That way you can cover the stamped price inside the books
great idea! Thanks for sharing
I just found your channel and I really enjoyed "antiqueing" with you! Where I live now has no antique stores or malls of any kind. I've collected Fire King glassware for over twenty years.Fire King became Anchor Hocking. The glass milk pitcher and sugar bowl are Fire King's Early American Presscut pattern. I have the full tableware set in the original box. I also have a lot of FK's Royal Ruby and Forest Green glassware and Ivory glass cookware that I still use. I can't wait to see what else you find!
I would love to see your ruby glass and forest green collections. I just LOVE colored glassware.
I have gold thumbnail glassware.
Hocking Glass merged with Anchor Cap and Closure in the 30s. Fire king was their popular line of kitchen glass from the 1940s to 1976. I have a ton of it too!
Love your videos Melanie! Do you have a video that talks about how you manage your inventory between your different venues?
Great finds! Cute cat and cute kid 😊❤️
Thanks for sharing. Love the brass horse and fire hose nozzles!
My fav item is the quirky wooden folding duck 😃
Isn’t he fun?!
Love all the green dishes and pitcher.
Love the things you found! Just found your channel!
Welcome Janet!! Thanks for letting me know 😊
Looked like there was no pointer on your scale with the blue rim
Love the purple dish in the 50 % sale booth. Stunning.
I like that coder, I used to collect some, but I don't have any anymore. It's a clever design.
I like to use sticky notes in my books in my booth
The Old West books were a series put out in the 70s by Time-Life.
Awesome. Great to know Liz!
In case no one else has told you already, the stamper you showed is either what grocery stores would use to price the tops of canned food items or it was used to number official documents such as No 113
Of 1000. If that’s in fact what it is I would date it to the late 60s or maybe even before that. Loved your haul. I love white ironstone as well. Also loved the green pitcher. That was our iced tea or Kool-Aid pitcher growing up!
Thanks so much! That’s helpful to know…and now you have me wanting to make Ice Tea as well :)
The jeep reminds me of the old TV show Gilligans Island
This is my first time viewing your channel and I'm enjoying it. The stamper may be for prices but it could also be a Bates stamp which is used for legal work, marking exhibits. I can't tell by looking. If the number increases after each stamp, that may be what it is. The number can be reset. Just an alternative idea.
Thanks Roberta! It DOES go up as you use it, so that’s probably correct :)
Love the marshmallow tin
Hi! I hope you enjoyed shopping in the Tontitown Flea Market. I have a booth in there. Please keep on coming back!
Awesome! It’s great!
Slow down so I can see more!lol! Not flea market time in Northern Maine for several months. Great prices you paid,
I’m having my first live sale tonight in my private fb group! So excited. I have about 40 items. Thanks for all your help!!!
awesome! I hope it goes great!
I just found your channel and love it! I love what you found and how you explained everything. I subscribed and look forward to see you again.
Watched a video on tv about suggestions (2023) for increasing sales. For you, I would suggest involving an older child or two...pay...to help you re-do your vintage. Will soon learn how and make it quick.
For transfers
..a class. Get a clipboard...name, email, best time of month for a class..1st, mid, or end; best day of week, and time of day or evening. Give a class a month. Transfers, furniture painting ( use wooden jewelry cases....great for larger doll furniture and more easily done quickly, and display ideas. Good luck!!
Nozzles styled as candleholders...voila'..!
Love it!
Exactly what I thought to use them as if not just for!
Did I hear you mention Tontitown? I am originally from Fayetteville. Good to see you!!
Yay! Yes, we’re in NWA now
I am glad to find someone in Arkansas! I live there too! Had to subscribe. Be sure to let me know names of stores as you shop!
Would love it in your hauls if you could say what you expect to sell items for. Thank you!!!!!!

It’s funny to see you shop for vintage antique things but have a more contemporary home.
There’s a lot of vintage scattered around … :) My upholstered furniture I buy new, but just about everything else is old and/or thrifted!
Time Life books. You were looking at the Old West series.
You found some great items! I'm sure a firefighter would love to have one of those nozzles! Also, I enjoyed seeing this view of your home! :)
I have the same milk jug! I love it! (The one you already had) just found you- love your video
So glad you’re here! Thanks for watching :)
Love your haul
I enjoy your videos very much. Have you ever seen milk glass pieces grouped on a mantle with small candles like tea lights inside? These are the wider pieces, not the bud vases that people use as candlesticks, which is also pretty They have a warm glow that I think is really nice. I guess battery candles could be used as well if a person was worried about the heat cracking the glass. Would be pretty with some greenery around the bases. Now if I only had a mantle like the one in the picture! 😊
I think that sounds lovely! I really do love a big group of milk glass :)
I love all you antique find . I love the brass horses is sou beautiful I love to bay that from you , if you steel have .
Printers once used the numbering machine when printing raffle tickets.
The Red-man picnic baskets from the 50s often have an Indian face- perfect, right. They were featured in one of the old country living magazines. I’ve sold 3 to date. 2 of the green from another manufacturer ( duh, forgot the name). Enjoyed this thoroughly. Elizabeth
My comment got skewed. Nice low prices. That swan was strange! Love the duck,Jeep,brass 🐎,ironstone.
Just found your channel, good content. ty
Hi. I love the items you found on your hunt. I have a booth and do very well with the milkglass items. I believe the piece you found is missing it's lid. I noticed the rim on the inside used to hold it up. But still a great find. It has many uses, and lots of life still in it. I also do well with unique brass items and sold last month a pair of vintage reindeer for $400!!
Wow! Great find on the brass reindeer!
@@LostFoundDecor I paid $20 each at the Goodwill.
I use stickie notes in my books
Whow , this is also one of my loving pastimes that I love to do and I do have time is high collected so much just for someday that I may end up having to use it for an income but you have some wonderful things and I am very impressed and how you going about doing this I'm new to this and I'm very excited to continue to stay in touch this gives me an idea of how to grow with my collectibles as well it's time that I do the same and see if I can't find someone that loves them as much as I did great job
LoVE ❤ the basket!!!!!
Thanks!! Can you believe it was only $5?!!
Sounds like a good idea
I love all your finds, if you would think about it, ..sharing what you would price the items would help us know what we might mark things as well. Thanks, I am learning so much from your videos.
Thanks for the feedback!
That would be great, but every area has different pricing. IMO You have to go out in your area for price comparisons. Loved seeing the haul!
Same here! Would love to see how your thought process is on pricing your items.
I just found you! I watch Canterbury Cottage! I am sorry I missed the raffle. I have a FB page called Royal Blue Mackenzie Childs Inspired Swap. You don’t have to join. It is public. Look at the Album for ideas.
💕💕💕💕
The two brass items you got seems like they used to use those way back on the end of fire hoses I don't know
Hi, I just discovered you today on IG which led me to this video. Love your video, it now has me interested in AR. So I am contemplating making a trip to your area to shop around. Never been to AR, and the drive is over 6 hours so really interested in knowing if there are places to buy more furniture items rather than the small stuff (although I am actively looking for Indiana glass too) that you (or anyone that's reading this that is familiar with the area) know of? In Rogers, or other towns? Just trying to do some research before I decide to make the journey. Thanks!!
I would say Arkansas isn’t known for its great old furniture 😩 Since moving here, I’ve had a much harder time finding pieces, but I usually look for things to flip. There are a LOT more malls though in the area, probably 8 or 9 more. One place in Rogers called Gathered Goods has the most furniture I am aware of
I do the same with brass. If I put one in or two pieces in my booth it sells but when I grouped several together it sits.
Great tip Marina!!
Allenco I brass fire hose nozzle10” $19.95 eBay. Display them as candleholders.
Omg I saw one of those wooden duck bowl things at goodwill this morning and I could not figure out how to use it, so I put it back 😑 I’m gonna go back in the morning to see if it’s still there 😆
You should! I hope it’s still there 😊
They used to call them wood widgets. It is either a basket, or when not in use as that, a trivet!
I don’t necessarily believe in buying marked up vintage/antique items to sell at an even higher price but great haul regardless
You have beautiful skin! What is your secret? Like your videos a lot. They are peaceful and earthy 👍🏻😌
Oh thank you! Honestly I don’t know 🧐 It all could come down to good lighting 😉 But I appreciate the compliment!
