A vintage thrift haul, Salvation Army, Goodwill & Charitable thrift stores

[@veragailfaircloth117]

There's something about the spice of life pattern, there's a stamp on the bottom that makes it sell that high. I thought it was crazy thanks for answering my questions, without even asking 😄

[@stevencraig2448]

Very good Finds!

[@amygawalko]

Love Your videos thank You

[@Brix_Mix]

I am obsessed

[@cheril8891]

Those ripple edge bowls sure are pretty.

[@thrifting101...identifybuy3]

Thanks Cheril....They are part of my personal collection and just love to look at them all the time...I have had a lot of people comment on them and I will talk about them probably in my next video xo :)

[@sharonmiller4329]

Hi Michelle. You found so many great pieces. That white carnival bowl was outstanding. My personal favorite is the unique Federal bowl with the kitchen utensil pattern. I would've snatched that up quickly. I love Federal glass, it doesn't seem to have the popularity of Fire King or Hazel-Atlas. Best wishes from Ky.

[@thrifting101...identifybuy3]

Hi Sharon! Thank you...I have always been a big fan of Federal...some of the atomic patterns are very collectable and sell well...that pattern I have never seen...people keep telling me its "Homestead" but I know that is not the homestead pattern...xo :)

[@mrscottoncandydarlinglife]

Great Finds Michelle !!! Thank you for sharing with us !!! Big Hugs 👍🏻😊💕

[@thrifting101...identifybuy3]

Thank you!! xo :)

[@livingthegoodlifechannel]

Thanks for showing us your most recent treasures. I'm still using the Gemco "Spice of Life" salt & pepper shakers for which you gave me information last year. That Federal bowl is neat!

[@tammiwaddlethisoldwomansvi5400]

That green plate is beautiful and those white bowls are stunning

[@thrifting101...identifybuy3]

Thanks Tammi xo :)

[@pigoff123]

You are so lucky to find German items. I don't find many in Arkansas

[@thrifting101...identifybuy3]

Hi Pat! What do you think? Am I on target???? You are my German expert xo :)

[@pigoff123]

You are always right on target

[@georginawu4664]

Looking like you are finally feeling better. Those white bowls are almost indestructible, they are a joy to use and so easy to clean. Do you feel that thrift stores are slowly getting expensive? Some of them, like Goodwill are now pricing the ones in good condition such as the Spice of Life for $15!

[@thrifting101...identifybuy3]

I am Georgina...thank you :) Yes I do feel that thrift stores are getting expensive. I have seen many pieces at the GW that I could never get selling online...its getting tough and a lot of the stores are going onto ebay and basing their prices on what they see there, that's why I try to buy on half price days xo :)

[@fussycoose]

I do like that german plate. You picked up some fabulous items!

[@thrifting101...identifybuy3]

Thanks as always FC xo :)

[@stevewoods8116]

Hi Michelle, thank you for your videos. i have learned so very much by watching. Like you I thrift on the east coast of Florida, Fernandina Beach to Daytona for me.

[@thrifting101...identifybuy3]

Oh thank you so much Elizabeth!!! We should do a road trip sometime!!! xo :)

[@laurasimpson2870]

I have one of those hand drills I still use it for small jobs. It’s much quieter than the electric stuff. Love that Federal bowl.

[@thrifting101...identifybuy3]

You do? How cool! I wish it came with drill bits! Thanks Laura..xo :)

[@lindamasson3094]

I loved seeing all your treasures! I wasn't too interested in kitchen items until I started watching your channel. I love Blue Ridge also. I've found a few pieces, never pass it up! The patterns often seems to mix well.

[@thrifting101...identifybuy3]

Hi Linda! Awe thanks Linda....yes...I was just saying that to someone! How the patterns mix well together...if I had the room I would start a collection. Just got a comment from Kathryn who has over 200 pieces! Love all the patterns. Found my first piece about a year or so ago and just fell in love...now I can identify just be seeing and always get excited when I do! xo :)

[@asphaltgypsy868]

Great haul, as always, Michelle! My thrift stores are NOTHING like yours! Thanks for sharing!

Thank you my friend! Its getting harder and harder it seems to find a bargain anymore xo :)

[@allisonmcmillan-lee662]

Hi Michael, I just saw one in a thrift store and checked comps. Someone sold one for $900 . When I checked it out the information wasn't available. I honestly don't know what's going on there.

Money laundering.

[@thrifting101...identifybuy3]

The spice of life??? Its weird.....I don't get it...

I have a nice collection of uranium glass and it's always the most fun when I least expect to see it some place. ;-) You always have the eye for the gorgeous stuff! I love it when you post your videos, I so look forward to them!

Hi Dawn...carnival glass is so cool...I see a lot of iridescent new glass in stores lately! Also the 70's and 80' are in vogue right now xo :)

The L.E. Smith is just beautiful. Great finds. I keep every piece of Mary Engelbreit I find. Just love it! TFS!!

Hi Kathryn!!! WOW!! Such pretty patterns they made, if I had the room I would collect too! Would love to see your collection sometime! Send pics xo:)

[@kathyaldridge7171]

Hi Michelle, Could that green votive holder be a candle cover for a sconce? Just asking because it reminds me so much of one. Thanks.

[@thrifting101...identifybuy3]

Hi Kathryn...its has a "peg" so I am pretty positive its a votive cup/holder :)

[@christinnascreations9072]

Michelle omgoodness the bowl you found for $7.99 is absolutely tee-totally beautiful🌟! Man you find some treasures 😊. Luv yah 💕

[@craftyladies7777]

Hi Michele, just recently started watching you. I too am from Ct and live in Barefoot Bay, Fl. Realized you were local when you mentioned the Sebastian thrift store. You mention a lot of thrift stores I've never heard of. I'm taking notes, maybe I'll see you there! Love your information on all your finds.

[@thrifting101...identifybuy3]

Hi Linda!! Welcome aboard!!! Funny we are both CT transplants! CM's mother just sold her home in Barefoot Bay...where in CT are you from? Lots of Donofrio's there!!! xo :) We should meet up sometime :)

[@craftyladies7777]

@@thrifting101...identifybuy3 I was transplanted to waterbury. Army brat here, dad was from waterbury and moved us there when he went to Vietnam in 66. And yes, lots of Donofrios, especially in the New Haven area..I married into the family. Would love to meet up. No one I know has my interest in glassware. Not into pyrex, but I love colored and handpainted glassware.

[@rickeydonald4756]

Michelle, there is an unbelievable glassware video on the wbob O channel. It is beyond comprehension. It is a 50 min. very organized basement tour (50,000+ pieces). Check it out if you have a chance.

I will! thanks :)

I like the green plate but I think it is modern looking

[@thrifting101...identifybuy3]

Oh ok...the backstamp seems old though....

[@pigoff123]

Could be. It is hard to tell though you could be right.

Thanks Cherie...back at ya xo :)

[@cynthiaamitrano8915]

Love the iridescent carnival glass bowl. I worked an estate sale this past weekend and was gifted several treasures including a depression cherry blossom oval platter and many other things. The clear glass was not for sale and the gal removed from the house for me. She is gifting those pieces to me. I gave her all the paper money in my wallet. She said she wouldn't take it. I said "fine" and handed her a wad of cash from my pocket that I had collected and told her if she could find the exact bills, I would take them back. That was the end of the conversation. I have no idea what I gave her, but most of the cash in my pocket was from sales. She's a dear sweet girl.

[@thrifting101...identifybuy3]

Hi Cynthia!! Lucky you!!! What a sweet person YOU are too!! xo :)

[@laurashibuya]

Oh, my gosh, I just about fell out of my chair when you said that those cherry patterned dishes were made in Erwin, Tennessee! My grandfather on my Dad’s side worked at that pottery, at least that’s what Dad told me. I don’t know how long, what he did or what years he was there.

[@thrifting101...identifybuy3]

WOW...so cool Laura!!!! Good history...you should start collecting!!! :) xo

[@TammyRoberts]

Hey Michelle! So many beautiful things. You know I have a cornflower collection. I have incorporated some gemco with it. I don't have good luck finding green depression glass. I just love everything! TFS ♥️

[@thrifting101...identifybuy3]

Hi Tammy! xo :)

[@beverlydavid581]

I have the Crystal bowl near the left. I absolutely love it, but no idea value or what it is.

[@thrifting101...identifybuy3]

Hi Beverly...the Smith Aztec???? Such a lovely bowl. xo :) Dates to the 1980's and median price point is about $20/$25

[@JohnnyRFrias]

Love the L.E.Smith bowl. Is that what you call Pressed Glass not Cut glass??

[@thrifting101...identifybuy3]

Hi Johnny...it looks like expensive cut glass but you are correct, it is pressed glass xo :) and heavy!!!

[@robertahaines1301]

The blue Ridge was my fav and I really like your sweater.

[@thrifting101...identifybuy3]

Thanks Roberta....sweater was thrifted too! One of my favs xo :)

[@undeadondine1977]

I went to my KZbin to watch some videos, and saw this in my recommendations. I completely missed the notification, I'm sorry. Such great pieces! I have a handled Slice of Life bowl that I love, and I can't wait to be able to make a collection. The trinket box is adorable! Lovely Jeanette bowls; very funny, and charming mug; I simply adore those Cherry Cobbler pieces, and that carnival glass bowl IS gorgeous 😍 It's a shame for both of us I'm so broke, but my fiance, his twin brother (they're pretty much inseparable), and I will be getting a house together sometime this year, and then I will finally get to buy more wonderful pieces from you 😄 I hope you're feeling better. Wishing you a marvellous Monday ❤

[@thrifting101...identifybuy3]

Hi Addie!!! Awe you are so sweet!! I wish you and your fiancé much happiness in the future and let me know when you get that house so I can send you a house warming gift!!! Much love xo :)

[@sharynrobinson343]

the green votive cup is beautiful. How is it used?

[@thrifting101...identifybuy3]

It is such a pretty color! it is like a shade..it goes on a "holder" made for pegged votive cups. I don't have any myself, but pick them up whenever I see em as they are always good sellers, never really run into the Faroy though, usually Homco xo :)

Sophia of Y T channel MY GREAT CHALLENGE has a collection of both uranium glass and Spice of Life. My favorites of this haul are the Iris and Herringbone, but truthfully I loved everything. Will share this, as usual. I’ve been a huge fan of Mary Engelbreit’s art. I try to emulate her style when I find time to draw. I have an unusual millennium Engelbreit piece that my daughter gave me. I’ll PM you a photo of it. Hard to believe, but the millennium was 19 years ago! Love ❤️ from Iowa, and thanks to C M, ~ Lori ~

[@marieteresa3963]

Love the Smith bowl. Reminiscent of a very heavy lead crystal bowl (except for the iridescence) that my father-in-law gave to my mother-in-law way before WWII in Germany, which I still have. BTW, still haven't had a chance to take photos of those Occupied Japan items I told you about. Glad you're feeling better. XOXO

[@ddgreen4913]

I wanted to ask you about the green votive cup. I see them so often in different colors but I don't understand how they're used. Is there another piece that they fit into? I also love the Blue Ridge. When we bought our house in the '80s, I found a large box of the dishes in the old chicken coup. Don't know why it was there! Years later it was the first thing I sold on eBay. I enjoy seeing the different patterns at garage sales. Thanks

[@thrifting101...identifybuy3]

Hi DD...yes...they fit into a holder...xo :)
