Antiquing For Beginners

[@marywatkins6798]

Love your tips, and you are so accurate and wise. I would add: 1) While haggling on the price, always be polite and smile. Explain how you love the item but wondered if it was their best price? Compliments will get you far! 2) This may just be me, but I always antique/thrift/garage sale alone. I know what I like, I am on a mission for what I am looking for, and I don't want to waste time on what interests someone else nor do I want to be influenced by someone else in my decision. It is not social time for me, it is serious business! LOL! 3) For me, the hunt for treasures is half the fun. Lots of times I don't find anything, but I always love looking. Love your channel!

This made me smile! I usually go with 2 gal pals, & they tend to keep me in check - I often want it all!- so I call them my voice of reason in narrowing down the haul! 😉

Antiquing & thrifting are my absolute favorite things to do! Great video & tips! 😉

[@pennymain1648]

Thank you for all the tips and inspiration I have never been to a antique store that was just antiques I always thought everything would be too expensive for me now I’m looking forward to finding some around where I live in Tennessee. I love catching up on all your videos when I do dishes and cooking love your Christmas 🎅🏻 ones this morning ❤

I have found many antique treasures in my life. I love the idea that the item has had a life before. Also, I recently inherited many family antiques. For example. I inherited a pie safe that my husbands family has owned for generations. It was made by a family member. My mother in law wrote cards for each item with the history and a story behind them!

[@PineandProspectHome]

Sandra that is sooo amazing!! What a treasure! How neat to have all that history with you now!! :)

[@bevdix]

Wow you are so blessed to have the history or provenance of each family heirloom. We have pieces that are very old, like at 300 yrs old but that is all we know. 😢

I recently dug into the very bottom of the dirtiest and grungiest booth in an entire store and found a set of 4 vintage copper canisters for $4.95. Definitely always dig.

[@PineandProspectHome]

Yes!!! so so true...what treasures you found!! :)

[@jilldavis7229]

I love antiquing & thrifting!!! I shared your channel with my sister ❤️

The brick wall at 10:43 is gorgeous! I’d love to create a faux brick treatment to look like that.

I have loved antiques since I was very young. My mom loved them, I guess that's where I got it at.

Today I went to Goodwill for the first time in months. I found a beautiful painting on canvas, would have been perfect for my home but it was marked at $70! The frame was a heavy, vintage looking gold, Victorian style. The painting was on a canvas that had been pushed into the frame. Our local thrift stores have gotten super expensive.

OMG ! That is what I think then going, who held it where was it who’s home etc it’s fun thinking about each object. Dang I’m in Bethlehem Pennsylvania and I’ve tried bargaining and clerks always say no ! Thanks for the great info and your home lovely ✨✨✨

[@PineandProspectHome]

Colleen thank you so much!! You never know, maybe one day they will say yes!! :)

[@bethwishitwereviolet5938]

Such great tips!! I love your videos. Thank you for sharing.

[@PineandProspectHome]

Beth you are so kind, thank you so so much! :)

[@andreagorham1985]

Thank you for these tips! I Love antiquing but find they are pretty pricey so tend to pass on by. But, with your tips I’ll venture out again😊

[@jillengel4124]

Andrea Gorham Prices on antiques have really dropped since 2008. Baby Boomers are downsizing and the younger crowd doesn’t want antiques.

[@lauriehester4682]

Great tips!!! I thrift but need yo give antiquing a try!

[@PineandProspectHome]

Thank you Laurie! Yes you definitely should! :)

[@cynthiarobles819]

Great tips.

[@starr6465]

I will try Antiques Stores TUFS

[@salvadorena2331]

I absolutely love antique stores 😍❤️❤️❤️

[@PineandProspectHome]

Me too!! You just never know what you'll find!! :)

[@HIGHLANDER_ONLY_ONE]

Most antique items are by far better quality than the newer stuff today. For instance the pyrex of the past are a lot better than the cheap Chinese stuff that break in the oven while baking... Wood, iron, glass and stone, they pretty much last forever!

[@bethmann3283]

Fellow Michagander??!! I live in the South Haven area, and grew up in Harrisville (northern Michigan) where are you from? I"m loving your style, so beautiful and cozy :-)

[@LoveDogs___3]

I love on Facebook when someone says it's an antique and clearly it isn't 😄

[@ginamaria2579]

One of my favorite pastimes 👍🏻🤗💕

[@bevdix]

What shop are you in and where at the 15 minute mark? I am also in the mitten state.

[@vera747]

Loved your Xmas video,. SUBBED,,,,,Please share the paint colors in your home. Thank You

[@meganblasco2]

⭐️Curated booths are often more expensive than the booths where you have to “discover” your treasures🙂⭐️

[@smac6519]

Can you share where you go Antiquing? thank you

[@PineandProspectHome]

Hey Sandy! I go all over! :) Send me an email and I'll try to round up a few of my favorite shops for you :)

[@ssing2490]

@@PineandProspectHome I'd also love to know where your shopping!? I live near the Bay Antiques center. I'd love to know your other favorites in that area. I might be able to give you some ideas too :-)
