Thrifting & Antiquing in Virginia Beach

This video was film prior to the 2023 Lucketts Spring Market
Torie insisted that we make another picking thrifting trip in Virginia Beach and she was right! Some of the best antiquing and thrifting that I've done in a long time. I found Ironstone, blue & white lamps, brass, lots of fun glass wear & some clothing. Make sure to hang around to the end for the vintage haul! Come thrifting & antiquing with me in Virginia Beach. Hope you enjoy the video!

Huge Caroline Winkler fan and huge Amanda’s Mercantile fan right here!!! Just recently found your videos as I’m about to open my own booth in a vintage store! Thanks for sharing all your awesome finds! ❤

[@amandasmercantile]

She’s hilarious! Congrats on your new booth 🥳

[@jenh9361]

OMGoodness... Hunt&Gather in Norfolk!!! You featured my booth 😂❤ HOW COOL IS THAT... VaBeach and Alexandria... Know them all !!! LOVE THIS... THANKS

[@amandasmercantile]

I’m so sorry the footage is shaky in this video. I clearly had too much coffee before filming 😂 will do better on the next one!

[@ambermoy8147]

No worries... amazing video per usual 💯❤️

[@user-cn9iz5xl8l]

I didn’t even notice

[@danahinson8212]

It was a tad shaky, but still a wonderful video! I loved all of the editing, especially about the no petting the cats sign 😂 I literally LOL'd!

[@rsnj4501]

Home decor is moving in a more colorful direction ….finally 💛

[@amandasmercantile]

Agreed!

[@RoxannePonds]

Love it ALL!!! and I love another video so soon!! Those lamps. Shut. Up. !!!

[@booth333]

Don't pet the cats! 🐱🐱 that cracked me up! (If you're ever in Myrtle Beach, stop by our shoppe - Fisher's Finds! Would love to see you!)

[@susanbrennan5511]

I used to love Barrets when I lived in Virginia Beach way back when. I always found gorgeous vintage jewelry at amazing prices!

[@colleenbelisle8214]

Shocked and elated to see another video so soon!! Yay! And the added bonus of Torie, you two are amazing together. I enjoy everything you put out. Thanks so much.

[@rajingbutterfli]

Love that you guys are in my hometown 757! Thanks for sharing because, I have been meaning to go antiquing for our home!! So many ideas 😊

[@memphis2375]

You are so funny!! Karate chop people away from those blue and white lamps!!

[@teethghouls2423]

as a person who lived in virginia beach their whole life welcome :3

[@emmaconroy3974]

This was absolute heaven for me! We don't have thrift stores like that, ours are very small charity shops. And we don't have antique malls at all so this was wonderful. Oh I'm in Ireland btw. More please and thank you.

[@angerose65]

"One more?", *head nod*, "one more". You're speaking my language haha. Thanks for another fun video.

[@madiseeeen]

i love you and caroline winkler! complimentary aesthetics for sure

[@amandasmercantile]

She’s fabulous 🤩

[@louisesemrani6860]

Love those lamps and that modern side table great prices 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫❤️🦘🐨 and those stools ⭐️oh I love it all ❤️

[@laurapinkney5850]

I share a booth/business with another person. I tend toward serious antiques and glassware. She grabs the kitchie stuff. Together we are as eclectic, as our customers seem to be. We are in New Hampshire where people are very vintage savy and independant. One week they are buying one type of item and the next week it is something else. We love our work. So much for the gentile lady antique dealer we are 75 and lifting and lugging household furniture and garden statuary...such fun. PS we watch for your videos and please if you are going to not post for a while just say "hey, everything is OK I just am not posting for a while...or we worry...we are also addicted to the Thrifing Twins...

[@debbebunch9973]

My turn to be a wee bit jealous... THE LAMPS!!! 😮

[@gloriaalbrecht9929]

Just happy, happy to have another video. Missed you bunches, watched your luckett's video twice already. Please do more of changing over your booth, I miss those. Love the vibe that your sister brings as well.

[@PilotCristina]

Those bamboo stools are epic!!

[@debbieallard3376]

I was so happy to see another video so soon, those are some fantastic finds!! 😊

[@thomasbroadwater2214]

A whole lot of Torie ! Awesome. I really liked the old signage in the first building. Great video.

[@Rustic-Hart-Mercantile]

Oh gosh Amanda I was so tickled to see this video so soon after Lucketts . Keep it up girl you, Tori and Mike a so fun to watch. I believe your the younger version of myself. I’m starting a store call Rustic Hart Mercantile in central Montana. It’s so much time and energy to get it open on top of my transport business. You are and inspiration for me. Keep those videos coming so we can see what your up to!

[@sharontrujillo]

....more..more..more...please! 💝

[@amandasmercantile]

🥰

[@monalingan9523]

OMG! I absolutely loved this video. You and your sister absolutely killed it!

[@cindyrae2605]

Yes, go for any amount of glasses. I've found many at later dates to complete a set.

[@debwinfrey]

The elephant plant stand isn't my style but I appreciate how cool it is and how good that's gonna look in the booth.

[@The-Lost-Attic]

I love your video! Had me laughing alot! I love the flashback clip of petting the cat 🤣🤣🤣 that vendor is awesome

[@amandasmercantile]

Hopefully I’m allowed back 😂

[@debbiejessen410]

I love your videos and also I love your family. I am binge watching all your videos. I would love to see what clothes Torrie thrifted in this video because I love her and your clothing style. Please show us the clothing in the upcoming videos. I appreciate you!!

[@shannonkoeller8378]

Oh my the energy in this pick. You wete both so fun. Wonderful haul.

[@kennaharrison603]

What a fantastic trip! I love the items you got for some reason this haul appeals to me immensely, from the stools to colors you picked up to the lamps!! Thanks

[@GrammyM]

The music thingy is a (Victrola)....One of the best hauls I have seen!

[@teresadravesdaane4654]

You are so fun. Thank you for sharing your adventure and haul. Super great treasures you found!!

[@laurawatkins9399]

SO jealous of your Caroline Winkler marble hurricane lamp. I've been on the hunt for one, too!

[@christ3824]

I have become a huge fan of your videos, I'm so glad you are back!! You and all your video content are just awesome!!!

[@amandasmercantile]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@stargazerresale3923]

I love me some Caroline winkler 🙃 you truly have the best taste in every way.

[@tamraanderson4225]

So love what you do. And you have outstanding taste. Can't wait for the next. 🕊🐑👍

[@amandasmercantile]

Thank you!

[@brettkruempel244]

I agree. You did very well this time. Nice to see.

[@aaaa7994]

Eeek. What a surprise! So my bestie and I run a couple of booths in Indiana and you inspire us so much. Keep it up Amanda you are truly an ace at this gig!!

[@Riccy102]

The blue and white lamps were a great find. I love anything marble or stone. I like the feel of it and the sound it makes when you place it on the table. Weird, I know. I think "vintage" in general is huge, so you're right on the money. Don't stress. Everything you have looks great. I'd say the hard part is pricing it so it seems like a good buy to YOUR shoppers. People are very cost conscious in 2023. Still, we want great stuff! So its a balance between price and goods. I think people are also after cool lighting - chandeliers, sconces and even mirrors. The bamboo stools were so great, I am jealous. Mid century chinoiserie is probably a best seller right now. You did great!

[@theoldsonso]

Great Video!!! You found awesome treasures!!!! 😊

[@christ3824]

That was a phonograph Amanda!!! Lol!

[@paulabuner6987]

Great haul. Love your content.

[@barbieken6752]

🙌🏽😂😂 love your videos! Y’all are so funny together. ❤

[@christ3824]

That was a great video, you and your sister are just awesome!

[@amandasmercantile]

Thank you! 🥰

[@lynnmccreary6750]

Glad to see you again. You are so lucky to have a sister (she is too) who shares your interests and you shop so well together! Fun to watch.

[@joanneschellgell9951]

Love watching your shopping trips with your sister. So fun!

[@robincivis9501]

You made some awesome (and smart) purchases.

[@amandasmercantile]

Thank you Robin!

[@5262janna]

This video was so much fun, such awesome energy. Great editing!

[@user-cn9iz5xl8l]

I LOVE it Amanda! You have a good eye and I love videos of you shopping and showing the haul. Your sister is great too 💕 nice to see you enjoying yourselves

[@amberrunyan6571]

[@paulalim1476]

[@atfundramccoy8999]

Amanda l love this shopping video of you both.... hopefully we will see more like this, awaiting to see the booth reset😊 stay safe and well ❤️‍🩹

[@disignerin5113]

The music thingy on the mixed media piece is a gramophone. I love your channel! Discovered it only yesterday and am binge watching!

[@cathystrong4314]

Love this video!!!! You are so down to earth and I really enjoy watching your videos!

[@sydneygorby1284]

Cute spring collection. I love the basket weave classes as well and yellow candle stick holders. I love how your items are ecliptic yet go together!

[@joannnelson9847]

Love it ALL!!!!!! You and Tori have such a discerning eye!!!!! MORE!!!!!

[@Brabronacus]

If glassware makes me happy to look at it, it doesn't matter how many pieces there are. The shape is more important to me than the quantity.

[@kathyjohnson1911]

I REALLY love those yellow candleholders 🕯️

[@sherryh7485]

Thrift Store USA in Norfolk, their furniture does not have an old or musty wood odor. You can take the items from the store right into your home. It's the 1st thing I noticed walking into the store several years ago.

[@djmond3497]

Loved ALL of your finds!! Sorry I missed Lucketts this spring. Will be there next year!

[@patriciarobinson5909]

Such great stuff!🎉

[@laurelmcgrath5823]

Great finds!

[@amandasmercantile]

Thank you!

[@beatricemckisset1128]

I really love everything it was so much to look at. Wow 👌 you pick a nice selection of things. I wish I were there with you guys. 70s stuff seems to be popular now. Great job

[@moniquerosenthal1847]

Those lamps! 💙🤍💙🤍 I would have broken bones getting to those! Styles are definitely evolving right now. I am loving quiet luxury clothing styles right now, classic and lightweight for summer months! Loved the vlog!!

[@JanStawara-hb4ef]

Gramophone is the musical player. Love your videos.❤️

[@lorahart56]

Gramophone. It makes perfect sense that you follow Caroline Winkler. I do too.

[@everydaynicole1]

It’s a victrola 😂 Great finds! Those lamps are absolutely beautiful!

[@heatherbnice7457]

Love everything you got. Estate sales are outrageous. So I wil have to find places like this...❤

[@rosemaryguyton9835]

So glad to see a new video. I have been to some of the ships you went to.

[@Cookieluvscooking]

I love when people find the thrift stores I've been shopping at for years! On one hand I'm like nooooo don't share our secrets, but on the other I love the joy it brings. You found some awesome things! This area truly has some thrifting gems!

[@mariamesiti6368]

Love the thumbnail…. Such a VIBE

[@luckychicav7981]

Hello Amanda. One of your videos was just recommended to me and watched a few. Wow, this day was something else!☺️💗

[@cd2659]

I am in a thrift slump! I am not lucky lately and I am jelly of your trip! I think my favorites of yours are the bar stools and the cutie pie table/plant stand thing you put in the truck at the end. I think the 20's style is comfortable and cozy.

[@greenphoenix687]

So excited to get the notification of a new share from you... and Im so envious of all your finds. Im putting that place on my list for when I visit the US. I agree with you re trends.... you may be more prone to a certain era, but I think people are recognising that you can accent and curate your own style by introducing others as well. Cant wait for your next video now :)

[@sarahb3606]

I liked ev-er-ry darn thing! What great finds. I watch Caroline too, love her. Great video of the sisters thrifting, thanks.

[@julielozano1852]

Loads of fun 🙌🙌

[@amandasmercantile]

Thank you!

[@mr.goodpliers6988]

I think tastes & trends are regional to some degree. Here in Kansas "antique" starts about a century later than it does for you. It still amazes me every video you buy and sell glassware - out here we really can't give it away regardless of age, style, function, or rarity. There's just no one looking. I think the popularity of colorful items is a ripple effect of the popularity of midcentury. We can't really identify major shifts, but anything fabric is popular. I was mesmerized by that fabric lamp, what an amazing piece! The lemon glasses and the wicker elephant are two real standouts. I have a set of prints on rice paper that would compliment the elephant quite well. I've never done anything with them yet, because I'm not sure what to do to display them. Framing really doesn't seem appropriate, but I don't know of any other way to hang them since the paper is so thin. This is one of the best videos on your channel - it tells a story!

[@debranicholson9223]

Gramaphone!!!❤

[@jeffsteinkekeddell3049]

Love it all very on trend as always❤❤❤

[@amandasmercantile]

Thank you!

[@KellyBudd]

I live in NY, and my parents live down in Portsmouth, VA. And I looooove thrifting in VA Beach. The salvation army you went into is my honey hole hahaha I ALWAYS find amazing 80s clothes there.

[@kathrynmccarthy]

For glassware it depends on what place setting I'm going for. Anything that can be divided into 9 or 12 really. So If I want a set of 9 but originally only bought 6, I would definitely be looking for a set of 3. Or if it were a glass that I don't use often (martini or margarita glasses) a set of 3 is plenty

[@chandaharkins4418]

Yup - only sets of four or more these days. So glad you're back at it!

[@katworm8890]

New viewer here. Drinking glasses - I buy single drinking glasses and then build the set cause the hunt is part of the fun. How did I find you? - You showed up in my feed randomly when I ran out of my regular content as I am recovering from surgery. Love your channel. It looks like you are winning in love this time, took me two times too. I also watch Macenna and Caroline. And my bestie lives not too far from you, so I may make it to Lucketts sometime.

[@janer2703]

You are really on point!😊

[@amandasmercantile]

Thank you!

[@dan2545]

😂 a fun video

[@charlottewilson4680]

Great Finds. Really like the lemon glasses.

[@amandasmercantile]

They were a favorite 🤩

[@johnscullion7685]

Great video love you both I need more video please 🙏 ❤️ 💜
