Gorgeous filming of the trees behind the Goodwill

[@Trojan4u]

Fruitcake lovers unite! I made one with that old English mix, prunes, pineapple, raisins, currants, apple sauce, ginger, pecans, walnuts and marmalade 2 weeks ago...feeding it weekly with bourbon.

[@QueenCityHistory]

Love fruitcake!! Yours sounds amazing

[@Trojan4u]

@QueenCityHistory we'll see. I tweek the recipe every yr to mix it up. If it doesn't hit the mark, it will make great gifts for my "favorite" family members lol.

[@SharonPadget]

I love any kind of fruitcake but my sister-in-law makes an especially good one.

[@pamavery9352]

🤢fruitcake! Sorry we play hockey with it!

[@cathy3546]

Canadian fruit cake lover here. We call it Christmas cake.

[@krazedvintagemodel]

Wait for the cat! May we please have a fruitcake bar baking video? Thank you Scott! 🐈‍⬛ Happy Thanksgiving 🦃🥧☕️

[@suztexas]

Oh I love that jar!

[@caroldomenicucci8111]

Ok, we would all like our “Linda” moment with Scott. I say next year, we do a “New Jersey November”, where those who can, trip up/over and do a tour of all the best of Scott’s thrift stores, with Scott. Please and thank you.

[@garyandkathleenaugustine5225]

Hope you find your teacups Scott. Great set of glassware!

[@tamarrajames3590]

Lovely finds Scott, especially that Deco lamp shade, and the pink Deco set. The candied fruit and peel can be mixed into shortbread or sugar cookies as well as a fruit or Guinness cake. You can use that up quicker than you think. I like Jamaican rum cake where all the fruit and peel are ground fine, and the cakes are fed with rum and fortified red wine for many days and weeks before being served. The candied peel also goes well into Christmas puddings with brandy poured over and set alight, served with caramelised sugar sauce while it is warm.🖤🇨🇦

[@Trojan4u]

I need the Jamaican rum cake recipe!

[@tamarrajames3590]

@ I can ask. A lovely Jamaican lady makes me one every Yule from a closely guarded family recipe.🖤🇨🇦

[@marybeth4002]

When you were questioning if the silvercrest piece was Fenton - - - -"I've never seen a bottom like that"...... sorry, but I can't stop laughing.

[@johnharden790]

Yes you can freeze candied fruit. I have purchased candied fruit after the holidays that was marked down I. put it in our deep freezer to use for the next holiday season.

[@maryscott_50]

I love seeing what your thrifts stores send home with you. My favorites are the pink sugar & creamer and the ice cream dish/plate, and the boudoir lamps! Thanks

[@SherryAnnOfTheWest]

That candied fruit will keep FOREVER ... yes, wrap it up really well so it doesn't take on other flavors and toss it in the freezer. You could even freeze it in 1/2 cup batches so you can just take out as much as you need without having to defrost it all. Another thing you can do is "brandy" it .... look up a recipe for brandied fruit and you can keep it - pickled in some kind of booze - in a jar indefinitely! My mom had some for years!

[@calgram]

THIS!!! Then you can make oatmeal raisin cookies, or applesauce spice cookies and toss a bit of your glace'd fruit in, anytime you want. You can soften glace'd fruit by soaking it in hot water, fruit juice, or even a liquor like brandy or rum (yes please!) for a few hours, which will rehydrate it; make it softer and more pliable. Drain off any extra liquid that isn't soaked into the fruit; you can use that for something else. Do show us making your recipe Scott!!

[@justynejaniszewski4626]

Love the frosted glass lampshade. Hope you won the slag glass table lamp.

[@megk.4599]

Mr. Scott, I have to say you are dear through & through lifting spirits wherever needed. Also, your many followers are delightful as well; funny, encouraging & just plain good folks. So many treasures to be grateful for 🦃; some to purchase (love Mildred 🍽️) & others for the soul 🥰 🙏!

[@surpriseitsus9622]

The green biscuit jar is lovely 💚 That old table with the fixes, added oak piece, had character and for 13.00, very cool. I also am curious about the chunky pointy bowl. The deco, pink tinted shade...swoon. You are right, the pink depression glass is the best. Very fun 😊

[@beiderbecke1927]

Over fifty years ago, I used to get English rock cookies at a bakery, and I loved them. They had that small diced candied fruit, and nuts, and were a drop cookie, kind of cakey. Anyway, I miss them, and you should make some. I think I'm one of the last humans on earth that likes fruitcake, the boozier, the better. I'm kind of surprised that you don't collect some Mildred, since it's perfect for your bungalow, and so cheerful. You can never have too many sets of china. The little Delft lamp is charming, perfect for a kitchen counter, or powder room. I love small lamps all over the place. My turkey is thawed, and socking in brine overnight. Tomorrow is pie baking, and cranberry sauce making. Happy Thanksgiving, Scott!

[@barbaracarter4103]

I love the green biscuit jar! I collect green depression glass and that is one piece I don’t have! The trees were beautiful!

[@wendy833]

The crown looking bowl looked like Fostoria. I liked it. Very unusual. #1 item, the green canister with lid is a great find.

[@ltwinkiec3172]

Well....that is one big sonofagun container of that "stuff"🫣 my Mother loves fruitcake could never get us kids to eat it so it sat there forever!😂 I was enjoying your haul with that beautiful sunset sky behind you💖🙏

[@colleenbraun5792]

Yes, Scott, you can freeze the fruitcake mix.

[@karenwilliams8465]

Scott I don't know if you noticed but the sunset behind you was beautiful ✨️ You know I clutched my pearls over that ice cream tray. I know you'll do your research but I'm pretty sure that tray is Hobbs Brockunier omn #101 daisy and button. Absolutely fantastic find.

[@oldcuriosityshop265]

Hi Karen....yes....what a lovely sunset it was. Thanks for the tip on the ice cream tray.....only one tiny flea bite!

[@MB-mk7qn]

“Lemme” guess-you won the lamp? 😂

[@JuneAnderson-m3k]

We started collecting this year.

[@theresatumidajski5219]

Enjoyed vlog!

[@julsatmidnight]

The cigarette box was my favorite!!

[@QueenCityHistory]

I love fruitcake. I don’t celebrate Christmas but I look forward to it because it’s fruitcake season!!

[@maureenfitzgerald1895]

Ditto! Love a good homemade and aged up fruitcake. Yummmy time!

[@MadelineRose-ep7fj]

Beautiful sunset in the background. Dollar Store or Michaels may have the smaller containers of dried fruits. Saucers may have gone to another Goodwill. Be safe out there.😊

[@dorothybentley6429]

My grandma used her green biscuit jar for salt that she kept on her Hoosier cabinet.for when she would cook.

[@Gardenwitch1954]

Lemme love those blue plates!🐦

[@donna8212]

Looks like you’ll be making a lot of those fruit bars 😂. Great video Scott 😁🕊️.

[@lisalamp3537]

Another nice video Scott. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family 😊

[@peggy-ann1961]

La, la ,la, great biscuit jar! Yes, you can definitely freeze that mixed fruit stuff! You’ll have to show us what you made with it! 🇨🇦👏❄️. Oh my did you win that lovely lamp!! ? Happy Thanksgiving Scott 🇨🇦🍁

[@elderlypoodle9181]

NO!!! I WANT that spittoon 🥹 That brown glaze. When you set it back down a part of my spirit died and a single tear rolled down my check and into my coffee. Then a cold wind blew through me ….

[@oldcuriosityshop265]

Oh my....I'll see if it is still there!

[@elderlypoodle9181]

@ 😁

[@lindadonovan9159]

I got a “how do you spell that” from my mom when I would say ‘gunna’ instead of ‘going to’. Haven’t thought about that in years. Thanks for bringing that to mind. Fun memory 😊 Have a Happy Thanksgiving.

[@suztexas]

I would love anything delft!

[@philliplayne102]

Yes you can freeze the candied fruit. I love fruitcake.

[@lisak1994]

I haven't seen any turkey toilets all season. Is there a shortage?

[@Dianehussaini]

I so appreciate the daily vlogs Scott. It’s not an easy time right now for so many, including me. You always make me laugh and I need that!❤

[@oldcuriosityshop265]

You are so welcome!

[@susansmith8974]

After I started watching your videos I found my first “mildred” in the live and was thrilled to have learned something that stuck in my head. I learn so much from you. Great video again. Happy Thanksgiving!

[@oldcuriosityshop265]

Oh I LOVE that!!!!!!!!!!

[@kpgunther]

Hey Scottie! Congrats on the brand new car battery! Life is better when you're fully charged! Thank you for the daily content, we're not sick of you yet! 😜🥰 (I love charming, old, Mildred! I bought dinner plates from you!... When dear Momma OCS asks how to spell 'Lemme'... You say L-E-M-M-E...)

[@texmex124]

Scott make mini fruit cakes and put in our packages as a Christmas favor/gift 🎁

[@john-robert1961]

I like that shirt!! And that Delft lamp is very cute. Not my cup of tea, but cute.

[@debbiecampbell554]

Love the biscuit jar. Have fun shopping!

[@marybethsmith6458]

If you wanted the small container, you should have gone to a grocery store. Why not make a bunch of those bar's between now and Christmas for a soup kitchen. Freeze them until you are ready to take them. I need a new battery too. Had to be jumped off yesterday. Glad I've got good neighbors. I like the candle holders.

[@bonniebryant3238]

You’re right candied fruit used to come in 4oz portions. I am sure you can freeze it.

[@MsSarah32503]

I have never responded out loud with an "eewe" to one of your videos before. You really took me by surprise when you said that you could eat it with a spoon!

[@MargueriteOelrich]

Oh my god! Scott I've been watching you long enough to know how irritated you get when your phone falls off its stand in the car so, today when it happens again..... I busted out laughing to your stand-up comedy behavior. I guess it's just all about the timing. And good for you conquering your reaction. I mean really how many times during a filming does it happen? Anyway, im really enjoying the vlogmas event😊

[@kathytappero7179]

Oh did you win the lamp? Canny wait to see!

[@JerilynnSchultz]

My aunt used to make fruitcake with the candied fruit. Then she would soak it in rum, wrap it in layers of foil, and mail it to us. The mailman teased us about the rum fumes! Boy, was it good! Happy Thanksgiving!😊❤

[@nancygermann2728]

Scott, you can freeze candied fruit, I often buy it on sale and then freeze until I need it. If you need to chop it (yours is already chopped, I know) it chops a little easier when it is frozen. Have a happy Thanksgiving.

[@NordicMango]

I think it’s called Citron? I ordered some fruit cake from Trappist Monks last year, and it was really good!

[@Tamara-qd5pw]

Love seeing the grocery haul and your cooking shows and just a great variety I really enjoy your videos daily your a part of my daily days love it..

[@katherineyanagihara2909]

Aloha 🌺🥰🥰🥰

[@carriesanchez8740]

That chevron pattern comes from the ancient kingdom of King Midas. The myth of the gold might have come from the clothes the aristocrats wore which was a type of gold lamae. I loved the candlesticks cant wait to see the new crystals you put on them. Great haul today! The name of the kingdom was Phrygia in central Anatolia. Penn University has been digging there for years in the ancient capital of Gordian.

[@Kathryn_60]

So nice to see the pink set! I love it. I have learned so much from you. Hope you have a nice holiday!

[@LindaPiscopio-g5n]

It was so great meeting you yesterday! I really enjoy your channel. I have learned so much from watching. Hope to see you again when thrifting.

[@oldcuriosityshop265]

Very nice to meet you as well Linda!

[@barbaracarter4103]

Oh, and I bet your fruit bars will be good! They are good in cookies also.

[@FoundTreasuresByJean]

Happy Thanksgiving to You & Your Family

[@rhondaparks3738]

That pink shade is beautiful! Also love the candle stick holders..so elegant! Have a Happy Thanksgiving and maybe your Mom could use some of that candied fruit in a Christmas stollen..or you could bake one! 🦃😊

[@donnaclinton5578]

I remember the little plastic fruit containers. It'll freeze just fine. Maybe put it inside a zipper bag as well.

[@kathyhildebrand395]

Recently found an amber ice cream tray on a day trip to Marietta, OH. Using it for my rolls and bread on Thanksgiving. Enjoy your take along videos. May your Thanksgiving day be as you wish.

[@micheleleso1181]

I know just what you mean ….they were candied cherries I believe in those flat containers and came in all red or all green My mom would get the red ones every year …we would cut them in half and place as a center to the “ flower “ butter cookies that would go through that long cookie press gun ( like a caulk gun for cookie dough !) I haven’t made them in about 10 yrs or so !! Fun memory of Christmas Past !!

[@melisablack7920]

Scott, since you are so knowledgeable on old items, I think you are the guy I'm gonna have to email about HOW to remove a lid from a glass shaker I have. It's in a Cruet set. I purchased it years ago but have never figured out how to get the top off without breaking the glass. It's a silver top that I'm sure that they put salt in and never cleaned it properly. I am so afraid to use any type of chemicals on it, I have soaked it in hot soapy water, and it still won't release. I would love for it to be functional. So, if ANYONE has any ideas, please let me know. It is so frustrating. That's why I have wanted you to do a video on cleaning up , removing tape from hand painted items, and such. 😂😂

[@llmifg]

I've no idea about the button&bows tray, and it is driving me nuts, ugh! I will check back to see if anyone has managed to identify it. My husband loves fruitcake and those (gaggy) glacé fruit. He would probably throw them in some unflavored yogurt, but then he is a Brit.

[@EvaFey-h1g]

Make more bars lol😂

[@cynthiamcwhorter6721]

Oh my goodness I love that green jar I've been looking for one just like that. I have a frosted pink one but not with that same pattern. I purchased some Cambridge plates on one of your drop sales and I love them.

[@pamhoerner]

Happy Thanksgiving, Scott!.I love the Buttons and Bows tray/plate! I never find such good stuff in the stores around here. I collect Corningware Spice o' Life pattern, and Anchor Hocking Boopie glassware. You better believe I use every possible piece for Thanksgiving. It's just so perfect. My friends indulge me, but they think I'm nuts. And yet, they keep coming back....

[@aliciapilotta5913]

Scott, try putting some frozen blueberries in the mini wheats.. My night time snack!!

[@marialadybug6261]

You don't have to freeze the fruit, it will keep very looong. Because it's not real fruit, it's colored sugar. That's why the Nice man said whatever he said.😅

[@amymclaughlin1201]

I empathize about your Mom. My Mom wasn't a teacher, BUT she was big on grammatically correct English. I used to tell her that I spoke good English so she'd stop interrupting me. I went to a thrift shop yesterday. No interesting Depression glass, but I did find a reference book, Gene Florence's Kitchenware of the Depression. Also an excellent condition California Ivy cup and saucer. Those were the everyday dishes when I was a kid, til too many were damaged. I've got the remnants, but cups had a higher mortality rate. Think that frosted shade was for a boudoir lamp? Because of the hint of pink?

[@jodidavis6595]

Love the lamps 😍 I’m a lamp ho lol. I’ve had as many as 20 milk glass lamps at one time. I’m down to 7 now 🤦🏼‍♀️and great value has thee best cereal 😂

[@catherinebyrne8628]

Lemme ax ya somethin...you didn't get the glass cigarette holder with the eagle on top...?😮

[@cynthiahofer2903]

Did you get the leaded glass lamp?

[@cathy3546]

Stores are getting us to buy more than we need by not offering products in smaller sizes. Yes, freeze your fruitcake mix. There are Christmas cookie recipes that use it.

[@Kathy22211]

Maybe the “Stylish Lady” will replace the “Nemesis” in the videos!

[@bethwilliams5660]

Mr Google says your Fentonesque piece is actually vintage Murano listed for over $100….which means little as we know….

[@janetthornton7909]

Dirty pretty or pretty dirty

[@tamtrinh6883]

Selling a set of teacup and saucer at a thrift store, but someone only took 2 teacups as a set because they marked as a set of 2 without taping or tying them together.

[@idawehrling8101]

I think the candied fruit is freezable. Doesn't the old-fashioned nesselrode pie contain that fruit? Good luck!

[@jodidavis6595]

I think you can freeze anything 😂

[@maggieryan6988]

Exciting, typo
