[@LoriWinter-bx5ug]

Hi Melanie! I am the vendor of the second booth in your video. I had the ironstone pieces you were looking at. I remember seeing you and your family there but didn’t want to interrupt you while you were videoing. Thank you for coming by and liking our JuNK.

[@desanders12]

You have a lovely family.

[@LostFoundDecor]

Thank you 😊

[@jannasmith7937]

What a fun day! Lots of cool stuff!! Glad you got to do this as a family!

[@pamb4798]

That stretcher was too cool! It might be a great display piece for Memorial Day, maybe with a Red Cross safety kit and military uniform, etc. Loved everything!

[@sandrahurt1054]

The stretcher would be a cool hammock.

[@pjj9491]

This will get in your kids❤ blood.. Cool

[@tamiwright6837]

Hello, from Texas. Loved your middle son's shirt !

[@joanvolkman7326]

AWESOME show.

[@LostFoundDecor]

We agree!

[@catherineprice3830]

I really liked the bird bath sitting on top of the wicker table. Of course, would love to have the table as well! 😊

[@vwslivinglife4933]

Seeing I'm a large wholesale succulent grower. I thought 🤔 that was pretty cool seeing your son pick out that cactus . Also seeing them used in vintage pots is a great way to display succulents

[@atomiconcaprisun35]

We love Evan

[@LostFoundDecor]

He's the best. lol. Thanks for watching Luke!

[@angelicac8383]

Melanie thank you so much for taking us along. I live in North Texas and first heard about Junk Ranch through you, and now I want to try to make the fall show(for obvious reasons lol). I love merchandising tins and have a tall Campfire marshmallow tin. No idea if its worth anything but now you’ve got me thinking!

[@judyrogers9313]

That wood dresser was absolutely beautiful ❤ just wow! I would bought that !!!!!

[@LostFoundDecor]

Right?!

[@pamwerren1458]

Thanks for sharing with us! Gosh, I really loved your goose decoy and what a fab price on it. Secondly I loved your old wood chest, beautiful and can be used in lots of ways.

[@jeaniebowman5160]

Melanie, it was so nice meeting you and your family at Junk Ranch! I am a big fan of your videos. Thanks so much for putting in the picture of us together!

[@LostFoundDecor]

You are so welcome!

[@jamccarty7063]

We went on Saturday. It was also very hot but then poured rain which was hard on the vendors 😔 But we came away with some mid century end tables, lots of green glass & a lovely amberina swung bud vase. It was our fist time at Junk Ranch & worth the visit 😊

[@LostFoundDecor]

Yes . . . the rain on Saturday I heard was so bad! Glad you found some treasures though!

[@sherrybowers8329]

Thanks for the tour. Maybe next year I can go. So much to see!

[@LostFoundDecor]

I hope so!

[@tjane.m]

Awwe ya got the duck, but no vintage army stretcher? 😕😅

[@LostFoundDecor]

No, had to pass!

[@julieann5560]

What a fun video and great kids/family! ☺️💖

[@LostFoundDecor]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@SharaStacks]

I enjoyed seeing the back half since I’ve never made it back there! Being first in the gate has advantages and disadvantages. Long walk to the bathroom. 😂. Too far to wander and shop. Lol. Thanks for the nice comments.

[@LostFoundDecor]

Yep, I'm sure you stay busy and don't get much time to wander!

[@bluebird8224]

Nice !!! I liked the linens.

[@LostFoundDecor]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@shelleymallory-g3f]

hi Melanie I'm from southeastern ONt.Canada and I love your program!! just wished that when you are thrifting you'd tell us the prices they are asking when your film some items other then that way to go , and send me a prayer to get my business off the ground soon! thanks so much !!!!!!

[@nancychannel8513]

Love the little square butter pats

[@LostFoundDecor]

Me too . . . I'm kinda wishing I would have bought them :)

[@melaniewest3947]

The stretcher would make a good storage rack

[@jennynordin2730]

Fun video, thanks for letting me shop with you.

[@LostFoundDecor]

Any time!

[@susanturner1171]

I would love to be able to go to a place like that but number one I absolutely can't take hot weather and number two I have a really bad back that prohibits me from walking around but I really enjoyed watching you guys do it!

[@LostFoundDecor]

I am sorry to hear that… my mom is in a similar position. But I am glad I could virtually bring you along, and that you enjoyed the tour!

[@shirlrebert4469]

I recently bought a marshmallow tin I think from the 1920s it's tall and white but the one I really wanted was short white and rusty and much older but hundreds of dollars

[@bonniezydel2060]

I love your videos. So much fun and I learn alot. I have a question. If I brand my booth with blue and white vintage how do I add in the seasonal items such as Halloween?

[@kimbennett2677]

My friend and I were there and saw you and your family having lunch and walking around. We should’ve said hello, but we didn’t want to bother you. It was so stinking hot!!! We didn’t get as much as we thought we’d get, but we had fun looking at everything. It was my first time coming to Junk Ranch. I bought several cast iron items and by the end of our trip my arms and shoulders were killing me!! Oh, I saw two Marshmallow tins, but I didn’t get one because they were around $125!! We plan to go again in the fall and hope to see you there. If so, we’ll definitely say hi!!

[@LostFoundDecor]

Oh I wish you would have said hi! And yes, it was SO hot. I think I saw the same marshmallow tins you saw . . They have been there for 2 or 3 shows now, and unfortunately are out of my budget. Glad you could make the trip!

[@kimbennett2677]

My great aunt owed an old dry goods store for over fifty years. It was one of those old stores in an old building that had that wonderful smell. You know the smell I’m talking about? 😊 You could buy some canned goods, cheese, bolognese, crackers, overalls, white t-shirts, shoes, socks, dresses, pantyhose, fabric, notions, calendars, soda pops, candy, tobacco, snuff….you know the kind of stores that don’t exist anymore. You could find Aunt Dee sitting behind her antique register writing stories for Readers Digest. She ran her store until she was 92 years old. After her funeral, the family who lived out of town wanted to go through her house. Made me so mad. The only thing I requested was her teacher’s license since I was a teacher myself. She was a teacher when she got married in the 30’s to a man in the grocery business. They never had children, but she had 6 nieces and nephews. It didn’t feel right going through her personal stuff so soon. Then, when they came back a few months later to go through her store, I was working on my master’s degree and couldn’t be there. They either kept, gave away, sold or threw out everything. This was in 2005 when junk wasn’t as popular as it is nowadays. I would’ve saved some things because I loved antiques and vintage stuff back then too. Oh well. If you ever run across any old Reader’s Digest with stories by Dee Hunt, that’s my wonderful sweet great aunt Dee. ❤

[@barbaracarter4103]

Thanks, I enjoyed seeing everything!

[@LostFoundDecor]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@lauracarder1152]

I didn't get to go to Junk Ranch this year, so I really enjoyed your walk through.

[@LostFoundDecor]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@MelanieHolloway-e5i]

Love the ironstone pitchers. Great prices too! In Roundtop they would be $80-90.

[@Thestudio51]

If I were to give my son 20 bucks at the chunk ranch, he would be immediately looking for the snack bar

[@LostFoundDecor]

Yep, I've got one of those too! His love language is prepared food :)

[@allisonmattox7858]

Good morning from Savannah Ga

[@LostFoundDecor]

Good morning Allison! Thanks for watching!

[@Tm12589]

im new to your channel very nice video

[@LostFoundDecor]

Thanks and welcome!

[@Tm12589]

im trying to learn the way to set the luggage set vintage style i bought one i want to build 3 also the basket not too many but set them nice any suggestions

[@lolataylor1700]

Is this just once a year or how often I would love to make it next year.

[@LostFoundDecor]

They have it twice a year Lola :) Once in the Fall and once in late Spring/Early Summer.

[@AntiqueAgenda]

I'm wondering if that "grape" purple glass dish set was actually a sun-purple phenomenon?

[@kathyheafner6226]

Great prices on the ironstone pieces!

[@LostFoundDecor]

Yes they are!

[@carmenhoggard6225]

I had that Jokarj game as a kid. I’d have bought that! 😊

[@LostFoundDecor]

How do you play it?? I've never heard of it.

[@carmenhoggard6225]

@@LostFoundDecor the base would have a red ball and a long elastic band attached. It is placed between two players and they hit the ball forward back and forth. Well, at least that’s the way we played due to hard surface restraints!

[@LisaWilson-i3y]

Are you shopping for yourself or resale? If for resale would you have a profit margin with those prices?

[@LostFoundDecor]

I shop for both :) And I shoot for at least 3x's markup for items I resell.

[@michellemaxey8679]

I skipped Junk Ranch this year. It was too stinking hot for me 😂

[@LostFoundDecor]

I will admit… it was HOT! Hottest I’ve ever been there

[@Eva_SunshineThriftFinds]

❤

[@bobbipetty7411]

Use command strips to hang your duck

[@LostFoundDecor]

Thanks! I forgot about those

[@uoohoo99]

Glad I didn't waste my time going.
