CHARITY SHOP THRIFTED HOMEWARE HAUL & DUMPSTER DIVING FINDS! Mr Carrington 2021

[@Jan-iu9iq]

The sink would've been a good planter in roof garden.

[@Lomie32]

I think the blue & white pots would look lovely mixed with straw baskets & plants for a tropical look .

[@gabschasse600]

I live in a good sized apartment building .We have a " table " in the basement where tenants leave things for the taking .,I' have gotten many nice things over the years.

[@melanietilleytinman4843]

I really enjoyed looking at those things thank you my favourite was the paper weight and the lattice bowl with the flowers at the bottom Thank uou for sharing x

[@bethmccallum6156]

I thrift all the time but don’t spend enough time in the book section but your collection of thrifted books and Luke’s collection, have inspired me to devote some time there.

[@francessingleton1555]

Finding free stuff on the street I always call it wombling!

[@mainridgealpacas1321]

The little blue and white jars could be a great container if you use a solid shaving bar :)

[@MsDawnnee]

I like the ornate bowl. Ideal for keys, and other rubbish lol. Yes, what you said about the area codes is spot on. Being ancient, I know these things....🤣😘

[@RIXRADvidz]

Things people leave are, 'found items' when they come to your possession for free. Many of my 'first apartments' where furnished with upcycled found items.

[@achickplus3]

I love road side finds and saving/reclaiming discarded treasure. Some of my favorite finds are when people are thinning out their perennial garden and they set those out for the rescue.

[@alisonharper6250]

Really love the paper weight pretty flowers

[@glendagoodson4106]

I hope that if you do any of the walking routes in the book you found that you will film and share them on your channel. Regards from Florida.

[@juliespencer1164]

I too thought the bodies of the insects looked like dresses from a distance. some great finds Mr. C. x

[@mariaconway405]

Me too

[@summer189414]

Yes me too

[@zoepatch3780]

The paperweight is lovely. A few years ago a bought 16 of them at an auction but they weren't the same design as yours. I sold them on eBay for a very good price.

[@Junoleda]

Bees were the symbol of the house of Bonaparte. It might be Napoleon III era imitating the style of Louis XV/XIV. I don’t think it’s fake, I would guess it’s souvenir ware since the bee would not have been used prior to Napoleon I. It’s like a Charles and Di mug but prettier. The German bowls looks like it’s imitating the Flora Danica ware. It was originally made for Catherine the Great as a gift and is still in production today.

[@janemahan2663]

Just wondering if the seam on the mug is meant to signify the lines of a cycling lane? The bodies of the insects looked like dresses... I'm so enjoying catching up with Mr Carrington....

[@carmenteixeira9344]

Hah! I thought the same, they do look like dresses.

[@JuliaFrancisEmilyLouise]

I’ve been watching you for a few years now Mr C and I’m really not surprised you need to add on a loft conversion as I believe you need more space for all your found treasures

[@tinapeanuts6877]

Hi I know I’m very late to this video but wanted to share a tip with you all .. anytime the main stream shops have sales , whatever they don’t sell they have to give to charity shops in the area so a lot of things you find in bulk like the rug are new bits that didn’t sell when on sale , so effectively your buying it new as no one else has used it just a lot cheaper 👍most shops do this but I know the bigger names defiantly do so keep your eyes on the sale months then when ended go charity shops for even better bargain 💰

[@Rosa7388]

I'd have picked up the baskets, the lacy flower bowl and the blue and white trinket boxes. One lesson I have learned is to never ever let go of baskets unless they're completely unsalvageable. I had a wander around the shops recently and baskets are now ridiculously expensive. I have few that I bought about 10 years ago, and they would be priced 10 times more than what I got them for. I found a lot of styles that I knew my mum had bought years ago for pennies really in comparison- she can refresh the look of her home by just changing around items like her baskets. So great job on snapping up those baskets at those prices! I'm also loving blue and white ceramics at the moment. Probably because I watch 'The Chateau Diaries'- do try check out a few vlogs, Mr C, if you haven't watched it. I think you'd really like Stephanie's channel. As for what to use the little containers for, how about using them as bonbonnierres? Hide little sweets in them and keep them on your desk or on your bedside pedestal. Because they're not glass, no one will know they have sweets in them except you and so no one will eat them up before you get to them!

[@dmfl2004]

Loved the bowl. I feel like it is beautiful enough to hang on the wall.

[@dianebejarano7317]

I think you should put the bowl on a frame holder and display on shelf.

[@deniseowen9424]

I would have picked up all the same. Especially the baskets,and the travel mug. Kate will love that.

[@dottythefirst114]

I love the paperweight. It is just lovely and very much in style again.

[@anni50ful]

I live in a village we put loads of stuff out and have our own community page on Facebook to alert everyone,the best bargain at the moment is a free kitchen !..Get the paperweight looked at some of them are valuable,the bowl is beautiful x

[@gregoryalexander4418]

I like the paperweight and the blue and white Porcelain are very Attractive for the home.

[@Sam-bh8gc]

On , I love the paperweight. You are right about the phone numbers - I remember my Dad's Area code changing from 05 to 015. Also the number changed - they added a 71 at the start to make it 6 numbers not 4

[@tomyoung3382]

Blue and White are two colors that Chinese pottery uses a lot.

[@patsyporter5082]

Some great finds! Love the 2 little blue jars. I think one would look so nice on a desk with some paper clips in it. 😊

[@marygird7715]

The blue and white containers will make nice storage for sweets or mints. I look forward to seeing what walks you will be doing following your research in your book

[@soarinpanda8walker563]

Would have picked up the bowl and the floral also the blue China.Always fun to find free treasure.Thanks for sharing

[@tomvalveede6808]

Sevres is pronounced Sev with a hint of an r at the end. You sort of swallow the r or pull it back from being fully said. Hope this helps. Tom

[@dianedelandro5027]

Absolutely love the paperweight. When I lived in Wandsworth Common we did not get these sorts of finds.

[@eduardoramirezjr4403]

The German bowl is probably pre WWII. It’s porcelain, and depending on the condition it could be worth the equivalent of $30 to $50 USD.

[@rachels9598]

Loved the goodies! Pedigree doesn't matter. If it appeals to you & fits into your style, go for it!! Maybe an iced coffee drink when it's very hot outside. Americans do a lot of iced tea in summertime.

[@ScissorsAndSmiles]

Re. The green bowl - Schumann is part of the Arzberg brand, which itself is one of the better-known, slightly classier German porcelain brands. I searched for the pattern but nothing came up. As you said yourself, probably added to the bowl. Nice finds!

[@Janmification]

I would add that the Schumann bowl with the reticulated edge looks to have been decorated in the Japanese style. Very nice bowl. Perhaps not for keys to scratch the transfer/hand painted interior. Transferware can be detected by close examination to see if there are dots from printing. Hand painting can be detected by differences in paint application and depth. Hope this helps.

[@karenetheridge6095]

Your charity shops in London,seem to hv real gems in thm.So much lovely stuff.xx

[@carmenteixeira9344]

Great haul, Mr. C! I love the baskets and the china, you scored big. People leave good stuff outside here as well, it's such a little treasure hunt sometimes. Pre covid some community centres held a " Free Stuff" day. People would drop off all kinds of goods, including furniture, tools, bikes and canned food that was not expired. At the end of the day (usually a Sat) volunteers would take what remained, to a charity shop. Cheers from Toronto, we are having a heatwave at the moment. Xx

[@dianebaker5243]

Loved the blue and white trinket pot's and the paper weight. Thanks for sharing 👍🥰

[@rebenaq4506]

Oh that paperweight is adorable! Kate will love that mug, I seen something she picked up for you. The Wicker Family are adorable. Lol x

[@karenbransome6978]

Loved the paper weight. That was a wonderful finds. The blue trinkets are cute xx

[@alisonrice5126]

Some great finds especially the paperweight.... Love that you and Kate buy each other little gifts, you know exactly what you both like 😊

[@lauragreenaway3521]

The blue & white trinket boxes are my favourite, love the design of them.

[@alanprice7584]

The perforated bowl and the paperweight would definitely have caught my eye.

[@gillianrobinson9082]

Great fines love the paper weight can not believe people just leave stuff outside there house's we only have fridges,, freezer waiting for the scrap man to get picked up but because they have gase in them hard to get rid off them looking forward to your next free fines.♥️

[@susansokun5944]

Beautiful bowl absolutely love it !😍 Love how you upcycle recycle and buy from the £1 & cheaper shops .. a breathe of fresh air ! Love your vlogs your tv show & Packed Lunch .. in fact I think you are brilliant !💞.. Good Luck with the loft conversion 🤦‍♀️.. it’ll all be worth it 😘😘

[@MrCarrington]

thank you so much!

[@juliegraham8133]

[@darialoginova-edwards6881]

Baskets are lovely! But the paper weight 😻😻😻

[@michaelwoodbodley8099]

I would have leapt at the two-handled vase. Are those golden insects not perhaps bees? Golden bees were the emblem of the Emperor Napoleon and feature sometimes on French porcelain.

[@lynnecleobury8183]

You can find other of Schumann pottery on ebay and Etsy. It's an old porcelain factory. X

[@annalevermore7857]

Love Cath Kidston finds in charity shops.

[@kerrycockburncampbell3044]

The paper weight. I have one that lives on my kitchen bench.

[@ivyc7336]

Hi Mr. C! I love the grouping of baskets & they look really great together. I honestly thought those were dresses on that gold and white vase, but didn't realize they were flies! Lol 😄 You could use the 2 blue and white pots to store things like paper clips, thumb tacks, or rubber bands maybe. They'd also look nice in the kitchen to keep small packs of sugar, ketchup, mustard, or soy sauce that they give you from take aways. Thanks for sharing with us as always. Much love from Fort Worth, Texas! 😊🌼🌞

[@susanhollingworth7529]

You are so lucky with your finds. We don't have that where I live. My favourite is definitely the paper weight.

[@lauradavison4044]

I liked those two blue pots, i love blue and white.

[@katfangtastic1420]

I loved the little book of walking tours! It's always nice to be inspired to try out different routes because we tend to just follow the same paths every time. Also, the greenish floral bowl with the ornate edges looked lovely! Great finds once again Mr. C! Happy Friday everybody, hope you have a lovely weekend 😊🌺

[@fimacintyre9607]

I used to live in London and walked around so much of it. Especially around NW London where my ex lived and where I lived in Greenwich. Gosh I know Greenwich so well. There are so many niches and nooks and crannies in unforgotten London which makes it the amazing city it is.

[@shannonsolomon8491]

I love the rope looking baskets.

[@joanneturner4674]

Love the paper weight it was made before 1981 when they added a 1

[@gailrynne1439]

Paperweight is cute😊 shame your mug doesn’t say ‘re’ cycle😂

[@andreareid8484]

Everything you bought or found were beautiful but my favourite was the ornate vase the next was the baskets I do hope your other projects that you started are going from strength only wish you lived near me I had to escape from London and start furnishing a house from start again I would have paid you to help me put this home together

[@mrswright666]

The bowl is Bavarian Schumann - they’re collectors pieces. A few on eBay £15-£30

[@lartystuff]

All we get dumped by ours are broken beds that dish would look nice with soaps on perhaps

[@SuperAxlgirl]

The paper weight is absolutely gorgeous! Such great finds.

[@Monica_6521]

🙋🏽‍♀️Hey from your Texas subbie!Loved the vlog! You picked up all the curbside pieces that I liked from your other vlog. Whenever you have some time; I hope that you'll make a vlog of one of the walk-abouts from the little book. That would be a vlog idea for us foreign fans that love your country.💕🇬🇧

I limed the green bowl also the little paper weight is so nice hope you are well.i would use tbe littlr bowls for soap dishes x

Love the wicket plant pots!! Look fab grouped together!!

Love the Peonies (if that is what they are) just over your shoulder. The bowl was lovely and you got some really great baskets.

[@whatsupdoc1075]

That paperweight is fab. Very #cottage-core. Love it!

[@tomyoung3382]

I think the vase has a Napoleon image on the side and those insects are bees which was what Napoleon chose to represent his power as Emperor.

[@MrCarrington]

Thank you!

[@dianebaker5243]

Ho that is lovely too know 👍

[@glendagrant9042]

I love the French Gold Bee Sevres type vase. It would be fun to know if you happened on a real one. I have seen pillow covers and the vases etc in that golden bee pattern as souvenirs in museum shops in Paris. I also like the bowl. You are absolutely right about having lots of things everywhere making it hard to see anything in front of you. It will be very worth it when your lovely loft is done. But you Mr C worked hard and had a plan to keep the overflow from the loft organised while it is underway.😊

[@jennifercunha7008]

So nice to see this video! I can't believe you are still getting videos made during the chaos of your loft conversion! You are a star! The book of London walks is my favorite item. What I would give to be able to be back in London and take one of those walks.

The bowl is German I'd say it would have some value to it,the trinket dishes would be fairly new by looking at the labels and design of them that's a beautiful paper weight I have a circle glass one myself old and love it,you did very well on the dumpster diving mister Carrington,the baskets for the flowers or plants are a bargain love to see the trifted and dumpster it's become very popular..mags in Ireland 😊💐

[@alisonfowler6224]

Hi Mr C ... Love the paper Weight would look lovely in the office or a shelf .. the little blue and white pots with lids , I'd Google the postcode see if any Chinese or Japanese restaurants was in the area . As they may of come from there for China tea or for sauce on the table .. now I've said that they may of been made around there only a thought .. the bowl yes maybe keys or fruit bowl 👍 my favourite iteams the basket's lol .. loved this vlog thankyou 👍 X 😊💐

[@kitchenworker446]

I think Im right in saying that you are left handed, we live in a predominently right handed world and so I think that possibly the mug would be with the cycle at the front...but I could be completely wrong! I loved the two little blue and white dishes.

[@J.gwenhwyfar]

Those free finds may not be valuable, but those are some cute items for flowers, jewelry, and trinkets. The bowl may have been touched up with gold paint. I would have definitely picked them all up, but you should definitely keep the vase bc the shape is unique and versatile.

[@laurieconover7243]

Baskets...look great!

Lovely finds- I loved the Cath Kidston travel mug, the wicker baskets and I love your Rae Dunn mug too. I have one of the mugs and it has that line down it too. My auntie lives in Bromley and her dialling code is still 0208. My grandma lived in West Hampstead and hers was 0207 x

Well done I would have picked all those items up they have a very cottage core feeling to them . Love them all. And free is always good...noticed more items on doorsteps since lockdown. I used to have something very similar to the blue items and it was in the 90,s very in fashion then in country kitchens.

Such a great haul, Mr. C!! I honestly have no idea how you keep delivering such great content while living in a construction zone. Kudos!! Loved your basket idea - I've been struggling with lack of coherency on that front and that was VERY helpful. Other favs - the Time Out book, the floral bowl (I'd spray some clear coat on that to even out the scratches and hang it on the wall) and those blue and white lidded trinket bowls. Thanks for sharing!! x

[@paulinecoady2685]
