A glimpse inside AMERICA'S 2nd LARGEST ANTIQUE MALL 😍 Shop with me at The Heart of Ohio Antiques :)

[@ashleyillustrated]

Hi all. ❤️ Because I’m currently taking a break from social media, I just wanted to clear any confusion here before rumors run rampant. Since the filming of this video Brett and I have parted ways. I will continue to post the pre-recorded vlogs I have that we filmed together and get them out over the next couple of weeks. But for the record - no - we are no longer together and all future videos with him in them are pre-recorded. Sooooo... you heard right... I’m just over here collecting antiques and cats now boys, holla! 😁😁

[@LindaBarham]

I'm sorry about the breakup Ashley. Don't get me wrong, I liked Brett, but it's his loss. Hugs and kisses, enjoy a much needed break and always be kind to yourself.

[@Angela_Douglas1122]

Big hugs love ya !

[@holleyjomartinez4009]

Stay cool and remember.... take care of yourself so you can LoVe your best! ♥️♥️♥️

[@littlevintageme64]

My favorite item was the rooster bookends! Thanks for showing us more beautiful things!!

[@erlenemartin8365]

You did not fail us. It would take hours and days to actually take it all in. Thank you for sharing your adventure. I can't go antique adventuring anymore because of my husband being immobile. I love watching your vlogs. looking forward to the next one. Stay safe.

[@christinahall2587]

You certainly didn’t fail us as you said, Ashley. This place is amazing with all that fabulous stuff from so many decades ! What really overwhelms me is the thought of all the people that choose to have each item in their lives and what became of them. We are all so precious and life is so complicated and we get damaged along the way. Prayer is scientifically described as ‘ quantum waves’ so I hope you feel quantum waves coming your way , swirling around you and holding you close and making you feel so secure and loved ❣️

[@amerwine]

Hubby and I drove to this antique mall from PA to Ohio for vacation. We were the first ones in the doors and the last to leave that day. Yes this place is beyond huge. We were exhausted at the end of the day. We did manage to drop some big money in that place. But you have to see it, it is the Cadillac of all other antique malls. Thanks for sharing!

[@ToddRA9367]

What a contrast to the other mall in Springfield, OH. Prices put a lot of the items out of reach and definitely limited your gathering of treasures. You still made a couple good finds along the way. I hope you did get the painting of the ship for $10, as that was a steal! Definitely some beautiful pieces in there! It sounds like that may need to be a trip I need to make sometime! Your montage helped us see more of the antique mall, so you didn't fail us at all! This type of mall would be a 2 or 3 part video at least! You truly gave us a good tour of the mall. Each and every video you post gives us a view of a new antique mall or thrift store to visit, so I truly appreciate it! Hopefully, I will have some time this year to visit some of them!

[@rachal900]

I bought two adorable macrame owls this weekend. So excited. Live that idea thanks for sharing uour collection in your videos. Love the new collections in your website as well. I am a pug mom so if you ever see any interesting pug finds I might just snatch those in off your website. :)

I'm glad y'all had fun, he was cool to squire you around, its always great to have a pal like that and you acknowledged it, everything always works out in the end, soul sister! You have an awesome group who follow and appreciate your fun, honest spirit! Holla if ya wanna chat! Linda PS, Hi everyone!♡

Thank you Linda, I needed to read that ❤️ did my mind some good. You always tell it how it is and it’s so reassuring. I wish we lived close! We would have so much fun. I neeeeed a gal pal!! Some day I swear I’m moving back to Tennessee and you’ll be stuck with me LOL

[@holleyjomartinez4009]

OMG I am on overload! Dang! Love it!!! 🥰

[@MsPrecious61]

The painted white hutch you admired, I have found 2 of those kind of hutches in the trash. One on a curb and one in an old man's backyard that collected and sold antiques. You can find the perfect one, then clean up and paint. Especially if you want white.

[@ashleyillustrated]

oh that would be a dream!!!! 😍😍

[@octoberwicca]

...ashley, loved seeing that huge antique mall with you from the comfort of my home...it's wonderful watching the talented pickers bring us along on their exciting quests for treasures...i can't thank you & the rest of the vintage community on youtube enough for the knowledge & fun freely shared...❤️

[@ashleyillustrated]

Thank you love! 🥰 it is pretty cool to think that there are so many vintage and antique lovers out there doing what they do and sharing it with the world now. It’s much more personal, too, as opposed to watching American Pickers on TV. I like to think everyone has something to contribute. I wish more people saw things the way you do. ❤️ It really is a lovely virtual platform we have to share all corners of the world on. Laura from The Recycled Life said in her latest video “community over competition” and that really resonated with me. I hope one day more will see it that way too. ❤️ Oh and just to think how far technology has come in a few decades LOL I remember when I used to have to wait half a day just to log onto AOL ☠️😂

[@jessicahusson8338]

All that Bittersweet!!! My mouth watered. 😂❤️

[@ashleyillustrated]

I have never seen so much in one place before!! 😍 I could hardly believe it! 🧡

I love your videos, no need to apologise 😉🖤 I would love to see more of your own collection and home!

aww :) thank you so much!! 😊❤️ I would definitely love to share some of those types of videos ❤️

[@rachal900]

So I love owls and am now inspired. Will be in the hunt here in Arizona for a large macrome owl for my kitchen wall. We have alot of antique malls and stores out here. Treasure hunt has been activated. Love your videos and love your makeup my friend.

[@scottflentje2390]

I really enjoy your antique adventures and I learn a few things from you on collectables. I think you did a fabulous job on your website... professionally done.

[@ashleyillustrated]

aww, thank you so much Scott :) ❤️ I definitely have put all that I can into it. I know I need to list more items but it’s been a labor of love and thank you so much for noticing ❤️🥰❤️

[@adventuresofscottandmichel9864]

Wow I love your first find and only $30.00 that's pretty cool. This place is huge. I could probably spend my whole day here. Thanks for taking us along. ❤️

They give out maps for the place because it’s so huge !

[@ashleyillustrated]

It was so huge at some point I couldn’t tell where I was anymore. 😂 A few of the “wings” shot off in other directions with different areas. It’s like one giant labyrinth of antiques, literally! Lol!! Super cool though ❤️

[@patsteckowich415]

Sorry to hear about your breakup. You never really know what goes on with people but you know what is best. I thought you guys were good together when you got back together this time but maybe this relationship was just not meant to be Focus on yourself and your life with your little one. Life happens when we’re not watching. Best of luck.

So awesome you get to explore all these wonderful places with treasures from the past. I live in Tennessee now originally from Orland Park & I’m enjoying some great shops here. I saw you found another collie & I am interested in that one & the other one I had inquired about late last year. Also enjoy watching your channel.

[@victoriahopkins8373]

Hi Ashley. I am new to your channel but love your style and the tresures you uncover. I live in the UK and wondered if you posted abroad x

[@victoriahopkins8373]

Ps. Forgot to say that I am interested in finding a native American blanket identical to the one you showed us in your Ohio video.

[@melissaconnolly9265]

Loved the video Ashley! You were only 3 hours away from me. Next time we’ll meet up Chicka! That mall is the bomb! You need a map and have to go through twice to see the things you’ve missed the first time. Yes, the bittersweet collection there! Oh be still my heart!!!!!!! Keep being the wonderful, fun, lovely you. That’s our Ashley! 🤗🤗🤗

[@anchorandpearltreasures2417]

Another fun, energetic video! No failures here. That place was way too big. I would get totally overwhelmed, visually. Heck, I was overwhelmed at Thrift & Dollar in Aurora, all the super packed shelves make my brain buzz. But you came away with some cool stuff for sure. And yeah, seemed a bit overpriced. Can’t wait for your next adventure ❤️

[@claudiapastor]

Those huge American antique malls are unbelievable gigantic... I don’t think there is anything close to it anywhere else in the world... would love to visit one of those one day. Maybe the pandemic will end soon and international travel will go back to normal... loved the montage...

[@myradovebeckbeck1831]

First let me say I love how authentic you are👍🏻👍🏻 . I love your videos and you did not let your viewers down in this one at all😊That music montage was everything! What you zoned on on during it was incredible. The orange vases and that peacock piece was divine. Take care of you and look forward to your next videos

[@ashleyillustrated]

aww, thank you so much! ☺️❤️ I really do appreciate that :) I'm incredibly critical of myself and my work so I really appreciate the kind words. That peacock vase was soooooo divine!! Truly this place was like a museum! 😍 I have never been so lost in a mall before LOL

[@forever1783]

Was there 15 years ago. Prices were high then too. Did buy a Fenton aqua crest epergne though, lol. Thanks for the memories and best of luck on your journeys!

[@ashleyillustrated]

Lol! Yeah the prices were definitely up there - hence my very small haul at the end. 😅😂 Surely a beautiful place to look at, but not so easy on the pockets! Ouch! 🙈

Vintage and antique pencil sharpeners. you find, I'll pay. Thanks Ashley

[@davidparker4797]

I live less than 20 miles from Heart of Ohio and go there every other weekend just for the fun of it. If a price seems a bit high you can ask one of the many store assistants to call the seller with your offer price. You will almost always get a fast reply. Also any item priced over $20.00 gets a 10% discount. And Mo-jp's Café makes the place smell like Bacon when you first walk in. Sorry for your break up but thanks for this video. I'm going to share it with all my friends who have never been there.

[@cheryl1637]

Hi Ashley those swung vases were stunning! I can imagine the prices. Looks like a beautiful place but high prices.So sorry to hear about you and Brett but I am here if you need a friend.

[@melissaconnolly9265]

The bittersweet vases are gorgeous there but priced extremely high. I’ve been to that mall twice and can’t stop admiring them. Ashley has a great eye and caught those beautiful pieces in her video. If you are willing to pay up I’d say go for it- get a piece or two you really love

[@galechicago325]

Hello, my old friend! I took a break from KZbin (and regular TV) last year, so I am just catching up with my favorite... YOU! All is well here in Southern Cali, everyone is healthy. My mom and I send greetings, good karma, and hope that all is well with you, your daughter, and your mom. I think everyone went a bit cray-cray last year; it broke my heart to see my beautiful old neighborhood (I lived at Michigan Ave and Huron St for 17 years) ruined in riots and looting- and my way of coping is always to unplug, withdraw, and make beads. I am just now catching up with all your videos, starting with this one. Heart of Ohio! I went to this mall about 25 years ago, it was expensive even back then!
