[@arlenem.8504]

It's such a pleasure to watch you shop at flea markets and sales because you are always so careful to put things back in their place and you never make a mess. Truly a sign of a thoughtful person!

[@kenpark3164]

It bothers me so much when I watch other resellers leave stuff hanging off the edge or on its side.

[@PaperandMoose]

I try as I also sell at the market so I know how it is.

[@lesliesshopofcuriositieswo2092]

Nice finds I would of love the children's picture book. I love the look of vintages valentines, so cool. Keep up the good work. Thank You!

[@julesiou12]

This has been your year for sheet music! I love the graphics on them. The Chatterbox books are really lovely. Great finds. Thank you for sharing x

[@jennilang721]

Between the fog and sparse pickins, that was like an apocalyptic flea market!!!😄😄😄 For one brief shining moment during the intro, I was all "YES, LET'S! LET US GO TO THAT MARKET!!!"... but then I snapped back to reality and started eating Doritos in bed, again. :/ 😁🤗👍

[@nitamay3534]

Im so impressed with your knowledge and your love of paper always do what you love young lady.

[@PaperandMoose]

Thank you!

[@juliaallen3455]

I wish it was more people like you! Keep doing what you do best .

[@carriematthews7991]

What a wonderful vendor/friend, great to have. Blessings 🐶🐾🐾

[@rickeydonald4756]

So happy you found paper in the wild. I know that makes your finds more personal and special! Your viewers of course want you to find treasures, but they’ll soon learn you zero in on paper items first. Pin up girls will always be collectible.

[@batmanwashere3163]

Those chatterbox books look like they have wonderful illustrations !!

[@trude_in_adelaide]

One of my favourite things to do, is to watch people talk about what they are interested in, or their collections. Their faces light up. So much happiness comes from them, it brings me joy. And I learn something too so its win win. Your face when you lifted the box for recap, is exactly what Im talking about. So much happy there. :D In a world that can be doom and gloom sometimes, its so nice to see a genuine smile. :)

[@keeplookingup1164]

How fun! Enjoy going through all of that paper!

[@booklover6963]

I thought $5.00 a piece for the books was a great price. I never understand dealers who bring things to the flea market and act like they don't want to sell them. Why drag the stuff around for a year when you have someone who would buy it all. Also you always crack me up when you love the old manuals about plumbing or cranes. Another great video !!

[@PaperandMoose]

There's just something about the catalogs/manuals and the drawings of the items that I can't explain. I think it was the attention to detail and just how nice it looks, even for advertising a piece of pipe haha.

[@scottflentje2390]

Those are really nice finds...A couple of weeks ago when I attended a Estate Sale I bought a bunch of LIFE magazines from the 30s and 40s (great condition). The owner knew the interest I had in them and said if there are any left after the sale I will contact you...well he did.. and let me take whatever magazines were left for free. I have them displayed in a vintage wicker basket.

[@LindaFoyle]

Old Valentine's Cards are supper hard to find. I would have picked up a few and added to my collection!

[@sarahanderson8371]

Love the old diary. I have my mom's. Also loved PKG of old Valentine's and cards. Good video.

[@jaromevanwells808]

I like the fact as a person you are an idea. To embrace expression in time and place gives a person personal relevancy.

[@TheBigDaddy51]

Some interesting trivia that might be of interest to you. The advertisement on the back of the last Chatterbox book .....the children may have been drawn by Maude Humphrey, the mother of Humphrey Bogart I believe the Crane Valve Co. is still in business. I used to work at a power plant and we had lots of Crane valves The jet taking off is a B-47......there is one on display at the Boeing Museum in Seattle

[@PaperandMoose]

Thanks for the little pieces of info, always appreciated! I will have to look at the Chatterbox advertisement again to see if Maude is listed anywhere.

[@kankerdoodleb9149]

love your enthusiasm and networking with other flea market vendors...more fun to look out for each other...

[@SusanRandt]

Mitzie Gaynor starred in South Pacific one of my favorite movies!

[@romancewiththepast7979]

I'm going to wash that man right out of my hair clean entertainment, I loved the movie waiting for it to go down in price on Amazon. Will added to my library just not at 14.99.

[@romancewiththepast7979]

@Lynn Maupin-Simpson The power and control of her voice still give me chills.

[@teresabiddle1444]

Great video, as always! I wish we had flea markets like that in my area. I loved the Chatterbox books. What a find! The first picture of the girl and dog would look great framed. The diary would have been fun to read but not for $40!! I knew you were going to get scolded for not picking up the Pyrex! Haha! Thanks again for sharing your new found treasures!

[@PaperandMoose]

My Pyrex knowledge is very limited, but I usually can tell when an asking price is too high. I do know some of the rare patterns, so I keep an eye out for them.

[@jacquelinehealy1797]

Oh no! I was hoping that you would buy the diary and read the daily entries to us!!! I'm still happy you got a good haul, I can see how excited you are with your finds.

[@PaperandMoose]

That was my intent with the diary but for $40, couldn't do it.

[@paulagill555]

Thank you for showing what you buy and what you think about them gives us all ideas.👍

[@REDTHEGYPSYPICKER]

OMG...I Liked to died when I saw the Amish butter print bowls at the First table.

[@Bebbis77]

Chatterbox books are wonderful.

[@Beth.Colvin]

For those postcard booklets....they are just waiting for you to take them back to the sites and match them up with the current location. :-)

[@PaperandMoose]

I wish!

[@cheesyblend]

I'm in love with your intro

[@lovemyferals]

Too bad about the $40 diary, that would've been too high for me too. Goodness knows what that box would've cost😄 I envy you having all that paper to go through and that Crane book is awesome! Went to your Etsy store and bought the Cat & Dog ephemera/die cuts/scraps, whichever they are. Could not resist the beautiful kitten pieces. I plan to frame them in if I can find an older frame or at least an older looking frame. Thanks!

[@PaperandMoose]

Thank you Karen! Your package is going out today :0)

[@daveywiseman4534]

Your paper haul was fantastic. I would LOVE to have found that. I shall be inspired by your journey.

[@carriematthews7991]

Please put the link for your Etsy shop in the description. Thank you.

[@FindsByPirjo]

The Chatterbox books are wonderful. You are right that it's good to get some connections at the flea market, I have found one this summer. I help him to estimate some items and help him to put those on eBay and on the other hand he gives me postage stamps and vintage postcards for free or for a small money. Also I helped him at the flea market to sell for two times, it was fun and I learned a lot.

[@PaperandMoose]

It's always great to have a connection - you have a source for items and they have someone that they know will buy from them. Win-win situation!

[@christinecalandro5984]

How I miss a good Old Fashion Flea Market. Digging & Digging, table to table. Never knowing what treasures I would come home with..

[@PaperandMoose]

I miss the flea market too!

[@anitablades6033]

Please put a link on your Videos to your Etsy Store, I'm sure you would get lots of people checking it out if you did!!! Thank You ahead of time.

[@verettejones9510]

Hey Paper and Moose . You have made a great friend at the flea market . You look out for each other that's great. I can't stop looking for paper and old books and post cards now lol. It drives my husband nuts .Fun stuff . Love the books 🎃🎃🎃🎃💞💞💞💞🐱🐱🐱🐱💞💞💞💞👻👻

[@larryboysen5911]

That first table's contents looked a bit weather-worn...one of those 50's cars, a Chevy Bel Aire brings back memories...my folks bought one of that model new in "55. It was a beauty, I was the envy of the neighborhood...buying a new car was a big deal back then. Your plus and minus shirt is the perfect costume for flea market shopping...can be both negative and positive! I love old product and hardware catalogs, have several of these. The piece with the B-52 Bomber is neat...from the early 50's. The backbone of the Strategic Air Command. The Big Bands of the era recorded these WW II classics...have many of these 78's.

[@TheBigDaddy51]

not a B-52, but a B-47. The B-52 has 8 engines, the B-47 has 6

[@larryboysen5911]

Thanks for the info. on those aircraft.

[@deadhorse1391]

To strange went to my Tuesday flea market a seller had tables full of paper including some Chatterbox books! I was thinking I wish PaM was here. He told me he got it all at a yard sale , he put a box together and when the woman told him $5 he made a deal on about all of it. I saw a guy buy some local advertising and post cards for $200 off him I bought homemade black felt backed skeleton missing its leg bones for my girl , $2 talked down from $3 I think you bought pretty well, that trade catalog was pretty neat. Some of them are desirable like McMaster ones. A Snipe is a class of racing sailboat, 15 ft. with 2 men. I used to crew on a Chesapeake bay log canoe , big very fast antique sailboat made out of 7 logs, sometimes I would sail on a snipe with a friend. Think they were first made in the 1920s Popular boat back then for people to make

[@PaperandMoose]

Sounds like you did well at the flea market! Would have loved to see the advertising and post cards that the guy purchased. $200 sounds like it was a good deal!

[@hfsaid]

That opening scene was utterly dreary - fog, empty tables...I would have been afraid to put out paper on a table because of the dampness! I'm happy you found things that you like.

[@PaperandMoose]

At least at this flea market, they do not leave merchandise out overnight. It always hurts to see sellers that leave their items out overnight at a flea market only to come back in the morning to weather worn, ruined items.

[@poodlegirl55]

Mitzi Gaynor has a very long career as an actress, singer, dancer. She was the star of South Pacific. She's still alive and still performed when she was pretty old. I think she was a reporter too.

[@TheBigDaddy51]

Mitzi played Nurse Nellie Forbush in the movie. On Broadway it was Mary Martin

[@marisolpinney8406]

Second for Paper& Moose!!

[@pamelarising8808]

I am just fascinated by the items that you pick!

[@darlenewesley3617]

Being from Canada I would love to see what's in the pictures or post cards. Let's have a peek.

[@joannachatham4108]

We died when you didn’t picked up the pryrex !!!

[@maryluwhittle6366]

I did too. That is the "Amish" design I believe, part of which I own. This design is one of the more desirable ones. I bought the bowls in Arizona. On the airplane back the flight attendant made me put my bag in the overhead bin with the Pyrex nside and some older ladies fussed on her and told her she had better not break my Pyrex.

[@christaclemons1455]

Joanna Chatham especially since they were featured on the thumbnail

[@joannachatham4108]

Christa Clemons I just knew she would end up showing them in the haul!!!

[@dianajemison105]

It's called Butterprint. They didn't have their lids and it's pretty common.

[@michellec8567]

I wanted to reach right into the screen and grab it! Can’t believe she passed on it.

[@cindyanderson1832]

The three ladies were actresses mostly in 40s and 50s. Mitzi Gaynor was a dancer as well.

[@romancewiththepast7979]

Your right Cindy, Mitzi I think is the only still working and sharp as a tack.

[@ruthshields9009]

Great ephemera!

[@joannachatham4108]

I guess I would have bought for my daughters collection.

[@PatDees]

Good job Renee - I love postcards also - vintage Christmas cards etc. I was hearing your phone buzz ...lol ... getting notifications .. I had to pause and look over my phone thinking it was mine. Does it seem when your recording everyone wants to message you ? ok nice video.

[@lovekimberleyday9232]

No idea how u hold a camera and shop 😂 lol another great video xx

[@lovemyferals]

Oh yeah, Mitzi Gaynor and Anne Francis were actresses, those were amazing pictures of them! My sister's first dog was named after MG. Our Mitzi's full name was Anna Maria Alberghetti Mitzi Gaynor, Mitzi for short😀 She was an awesome terrier/poodle mix, so smart!

[@PaperandMoose]

That name is a mouthful, I can see why it was shortened to Mitzi :0)

[@TheBigDaddy51]

Anne Francis was in the sci-fi classic, Forbidden Planet. She also starred as a sexy private investigator, with a pet ocelot.......Honey West

[@lovemyferals]

@@TheBigDaddy51 oh yes, Honey West!! A spin-off from Burke's Law, I believe.

I love your videos, but I do have a little question for you. How do you fireproof your home?

[@carolchidlow4798]

Went to the indoor flea market at Wind Gap this weekend and notice a vender who had Playbills. Also they now have a silent auction in the back and on an end I saw some paper. Looked weird to me but might interest you.

[@PaperandMoose]

Thanks Carol, I will have to check it out. I used to stop at the indoor flea market after the outdoor market, but then the market kind of went downhill so I stopped going. Will have to venture out there again!

[@susanfontaine5214]

That Life mag cover looks like Peter Maxx art.

[@samanthab1923]

Hope you got the Phillipsburg letter. Maybe your mom would recognize the name. Also at first I thought you were at Lambertville on wed. Looked so empty. Glad 😁 you found some goodies.

[@PaperandMoose]

I wasn't there on Wednesday, but wish I was as I was talking to another buyer and he purchased some great paper items from the Civil War. Would have loved to have seen that!

[@cyndireedpotter2454]

I remember Planet of the Apes. it was a TV show, cartoon, and on at the Movies. Than it was toys, games, etc.

[@deboraheubank9430]

Wonder if the binding could be restored on the chatterbox books?

[@jensflock8365]

I discovered that a Museum in a small town in Nebraska had linens postcards and they were so neat I bought one of each of what they had, I then found a postcard book to put them in. The only thing with the book is that the modern postcards are too big to fit in it. I also have my grandmothers autograph book and scrap book. The scrapbook has vintage cards etc in it, I love the paper also

[@PaperandMoose]

Modern postcards can be all sorts of sizes and shapes. I wonder when they will become "collector" postcards?

[@jensflock8365]

I have found an antique shop that had to a of old postcards and I got some from there. The older ones seem to be the ideal size for the book.

[@amber110526]

The old postcards & letters with postage stamps & cancelled stamps are worth $$$ so be careful & don't pass them up Stamp Collectors are out there " looking & buying " & there are Veteran's who are stamp collectors that buy as well.

Ok, thank you, but I think I'll pass...", but for the love of God, be prepared to give a lot sale price!!!🙄 Psychologically speaking, if she's willing to schlep stuff around from village to village, she's too emotionally invested in her inventory, snd not really into being a retailer, so whatever Die-cut wonder woman. Lololol, I'm giggling now!!!😄😄😄👍👍👍

[@PaperandMoose]

I wish I would have recorded the interaction, but I usually like to keep the exchange of money out of the video. All I know is when I ask how much for a whole box of anything and they state they have to count each piece, especially if you can tell there are over 50+ pieces, I know it usually won't mean a sale.

[@IGanas-ks3lz]

Those marks at the bottom are not color coding. They are registration marks.
