    I have that green musical biscuit jar thingy!! It plays the theme from “Love Story”. My grandma kept candy in it and there was no way to sneak candy without her hearing it!! I inherited it! 💚💚💚

    The Blue Willow platter is a steal of a deal!! A great find!!
    The syrup jug with a plate is my favorite. All the best, Scott. 😊

    The cradle is purr-fect for a cat bed. They hop in and out with no problem. A great piece to store blankets and throw pillows. Perfect for a doll collector to corral all thier favorites.

    Growing up, the amber Georgian glasses were on our table each and every night for dinner in the early 60's and beyond. My mother also had the candlestick pattern pieces. This video hit all the nostalgic buttons including the 'brown wood' that my grown kids now have from my parents home. I'm so glad my kids appreciate good quality furniture from years gone by - and they didn't paint it!!

    That 1920s wardrobe was so gorgeous! Definitely a handy item when you are closet deprived.

    Why, our school field trips always yielded such treasure. A Rainbow Bread pencil from the commercial bakery. A ruler from the Coca-Cola bottling plant. A wax paper cup of ice cream and a flat wooden spoon to eat it with from the train ride to the dairy farm. Now, what are you gonna give us Scott? I even changed my underwear and put on a clean striped cotton t-shirt for this trip. That ought to be worth something. Oh, the childhood memories are priceless.

    I have a wardrobe just like that in my bathroom. I keep extra toiletries in the drawers. My husband built some shelving and we just set in in there to hold our towels. My mom thrifted it probably in the 1970s and my dad kept his clothes in it. I hung an old mirror above it. It’s a treasure 🥰

  • @PK-bh1ww
    @PK-bh1ww Před 20 dny +5

  • @Gram_Gram
    @Gram_Gram Před 20 dny +7

    I really hope that you purchased the chiffarobe. I loved all the old pcs of furniture. You could also use that cradle for storing winter blankets, quilts. Also, if you chose to get another feline, I bet they would make it their bed, especially if you had blankets, pillows and such in it. 😊

  • @JudyCoggins
    @JudyCoggins Před 20 dny +2

    Dear Scott…. Looking for a cure? There is NO cure. I’ve been a collector for 50+ years and the addiction gets worse. 😂. Oh that antique furniture! Fabulous. Those cradles were popular in the 1970s and I had one for my daughter in 1970. Not sure it was any safer than the old one you found, but we used them! Looking forward to your haul.

  • @judibess6173

    Wowie Zowie, that chifferobe!!! I was as excited as you were when I saw it, because I know you've been looking for one for quite awhile! That particular one ticks off all of the boxes very nicely! It's perfect, I love it, and it was reasonably priced! Awesome score, Scott! Nice! 😍(Gah! The stuff you find is incredible!)

  • @JennyMack

  • @melaniew4354
    @melaniew4354 Před 20 dny +3

    I do hope you got the chiffarobe, it suits you to a Tee 😊. And i would absolutely put a baby in that cradle, albeit a very tiny one. Pad it out with a proper mattress and bumper guards and it would be just fine, we had an old family cradle that was used while all of us were very tiny, it was perfect for putting the newborn in when all those inquisitive family and friends make those first calls and want to take pictures.
    You were in a spendy mood today! But you know, it's probably wise to get your inventory up while prices are down. Always so fun to see those shops in your area. I never find anything but pooh-pooh particle board and plastic junk around me.

  • @crochetingaroundnewzealand

    You could put a baby in the cradle these days. It's to sit beside you in the evenings while you knit and you push it with your foot. Definitely couldn't leave the baby alone in it tho. Loving your video. 😊

  • @poshbird7784
    @poshbird7784 Před 14 dny

  • @suespearmint7585
    @suespearmint7585 Před 19 dny +1

    That flow blue would be $20 bucks, easy where I live. The fantastic prices for multiples would all be individually priced and high for each piece. Scott, you could store linens, blankets, and quilts in that cradle. Between my eyes popping and my jaw falling, I'm a mess. So jealous and very, very happy for you, what treasures you discover. My favorite would be that syrup jar, the flow blue and can't wait to see the lamp. Oh, so happy you found that wardrobe for yourself. When I see items I like but can't justify buying, I'm always happy to see someone else buy them, knowing that someone will enjoy them again. Oh, and your lament about brown furniture is so on point. There is such great quality available for a steal, unlike the shoddy modern furniture. I keep waiting for you to get a store or sell pieces out of your basement. Happy thrifting.

    @SuzanneBaruch Před 19 dny

    That antique cradle would make a great plant holder. Make it so that it doesn't rock and stick some plastic at the bottom to protect it and fill it with plants. It would be beautiful on a vintage enclosed porch! And that Second Empire bookshelf would be fantastic in an old bathroom that doesn't have a closet, stuffed with fluffy towels and vintage toiletries.

  • @debraadamsadams6955
    @debraadamsadams6955 Před 20 dny +1

    That cradle would look good with my 19th century dolls. However it takes up alot of room. But that high back colonial wood chair,in my area that would be in a thrift store, maybe 10 minutes if that. You never ever see them. Thanks for the tour. Have a great dinner.

  • @gloace2202

    I have, by way of my ex-husband's family...left to me...a beautiful American Brilliant cut-glass double-handed vase....yes, you can pick it up with both hands ...it IS heavy and it IS a beauty. It has a traditional vase shape of a wide-bottom narrowing as it goes up to its "waist" and where the handles are on each side, then flaring back out at the top! I fell in love with it many years ago. Right now, I enjoy looking at it behind glass in my dining room cabinet. About 20 years ago it was valued at around $300, so I figure it's at least that or likely higher value now. When I'm gone, I'll be giving it back to the family. You got a great deal on your bowl..,that's for sure!

    Best show ever! All my favorite period antiques. Did you ever read the book Blue Willow about a Depression Era family and the Blue Willow plate was their best plate. This story struck home for me because my Mom grew up on a farm in Sanpete County, Utah and they had plate with apples on it in a transfer that they let company eat off during the great depression on the 1930's. Great show!

  • @notlostjustwandering218
    @notlostjustwandering218 Před 20 dny +2

    Probably controversial, but my thought when I saw the cradle was to remove the front side of it and convert it into a swinging bench
