Antique & Vintage Shop with Me in Nashville! | Southern Thrift Scarcities

We're hitting the Nashville, Tennessee thrift stores and having a blast at the vintage shops along Charlotte Pike in the Music City! Come along with us to some Unique Thrift Stores and a couple of cool, weird places where antique misfits are up for grabs at prices that make us happy!
A friend joins us to explore, and we discover why Southern Thrifting is fun in this bohemian west Nashville strip, where Elvis greets you at the door and a scale tells you your horoscope! There's Nixon hats, designer orbs and a shade of red on a pair of dancers we can't find anywhere else.
Cool Things and Weird Stuff live at their namesake store, and we find the old stuff priced better than the new! A few good finds spur us on to Misfits of Vintage, a fun new shop where we find some really interesting pottery that makes our day.
There's surprising bargains throughout this journey, and we wrap up with a haul video to show everything we found, what we paid and what we expect to get for it. Thrifting and vintage shopping are fun and profitable!
Here's some more of what we see on the way:
Lane furniture, Levi's 1970s belt, Ma Bell belt buckle, 1960s candy scale, reclaimed wood cabinet, WWI catalog pages, Stangl pheasant and hen, Hall ball jug, copper 1950s horse lamp, Syroco Wood pipe stand, 1910s chieftain jug and tray, 1950s Shell gas station pencil and stand, L.A. Potteries parmesan shaker, Copco roaster, Henckels knife blocks, 1960s Skytone dinnerware, Corelle Cornflower Blue, Pfaltzgraff dinnerware, Hyalyn frog, Haeger red dancers, butterfly pins, tube tester, Disney Dumbo figure, 1930s Oyster and Pearl candlesticks, Italian brass 1980s swan table, wicker stand, tape holder, chrome Sonneman style lamps, paint-by-numbers Jesus, Pigeon Forge pitcher, grey 1960s gooseneck lamp, 1870s blown glass bottle, Roseville Magnolia tea set, etc.

I understand vendors wanting to charge as much as they can, after all they are in business, but the word thrift needs to not be part of their store name. Thank you for another great video, George.

You remarked about the dept. elevator. " Are You Being Served " popped in my head ! I thought of you the other day when Joslin ( Crazy Lamp Lady ) went to the Thrift store & got a couple of old hats. She said she didn't know which way one of them would go on your head. I thought you should have been there to show her. Both of them were pretty unique. Looks like you got some good deals to take with you. Have a Great time !

Wow! Just found you thru the Crazy Lamp Lady. So glad I did. Usually I read the comments as I watch or something- I couldn't look away or I'd miss something with you! Love it! It hurts a little when all this stuff is vintage or antique - and I'm still using it lol! (ie: I've eaten off of Fire King dishes for 68 years, I use my grandmother's cast iron to cook and make pickles in her crocks. There's also knick knacks from my mother's service in Japan in the late 40s). Now to work backwards on your vids!

I think it's great you actually use your old stuff, that's why it exists! I bet your mom saw some great stuff in Japan, my Uncle and family were there during the occupation as well

Hey George! I'm a bit late to this one...been some "interesting" storms here. I noticed what looked like some tumblers with pool balls on them, in the window. Did there happen to be a pitcher to go with those? Those two Lane pedestal tables gave me the idea of taking the top off one, stacking the pedestal bases and making a tall pedestal table. I know...I need smacked 😲😆 I liked those Moroccan-style windows. Those make really good pieces to repurpose. That 1910s vase, with what looked like Hiawatha on it, would've definitely come with me. I really liked that piece. Even with the hairline crack, for $20.00, I'd have had to bought it. That old radio tube tester really interested me. I have a small one that was my granddad's. Love that Adirondack frame you bought! That red Czech necklace is a nice one. The Czech jewelry pieces really tend to stand out from the rest, to me. Great video!!! Thanks for the take-along!!!
