Come Thrift With Me no.1 -- Thrift and Antiquing Haul

[@bluejay5531]

going through your videos from the start while diy and reorganising (once again) my whole house..huge project and watching you relaxes me and inspires me to get things to a place where I can finally hopefully re-start learning to sew again!

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you Blue Jay!

[@jimthornberry6774]

Cleo was acting like a maniac behind your back LMBO!!! Chewing on stuff and standing on the mirror! What a ham!

[@TheClosetHistorian]

That is why she is not normally allowed in my sewing room/office ;)

[@lilianmiramontesjr.7550]

Hey bee. Letting you know you have REALLY come a long way with your haul videos. Your improvements are a pleasure to watch! I love your channel!

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you Lillian!

[@luckysweetheartvintage476]

Really cool watching you first video B

[@chaeburger]

I love when Cleo makes an appearance!

[@mary-loucrosland5685]

The amber bottles will be cute with a wee flower in them too

[@yaelrar.4460]

You're fortunate. The thrift stores by me have nothing but rags. The workers take all the good stuff.

[@TheClosetHistorian]

I still have days here where there is nothing too, it is so hit or miss!

[@Timetraveler1111MN]

It was so nice to see your shopping finds! If you have more that would be wonderful as all the stores are closed and it’s peace of mind... not sure how to explain. Over 2 months it’s been difficult not to enjoy the thrifting.

[@tiffanytomasino335]

Fun fact: I currently work at a honey store. A lot of people come in looking for gifts for the B’s in their lives. Thank you for sharing

[@BionicBear88]

That bee is so cute! I love that it's green instead of yellow. It goes beautifully with the gold. My name is Bear, which is already an animal name, but all my nieces and nephews almost always call me B! So my mom gave me my very first brooch a couple of Christmases ago and it's a beautiful bumblebee. 🐝 She also gave me a gorgeous diamond bee necklace last year for my 30th birthday. My nephew, who just turned 4, absolutely loves to pick out my jewelry for the day, and he always gravitates towards the bees too. It's precious.

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you Bear!

[@ibidunomisade5510]

Love this segment pls give us more.

[@courtneywalsh9780]

Would you do a quick video on how you style/tie your scarves in your hair? I love how you do it- and I can never make it look right 😭

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you! I actually have quite a hard time keeping scarves on my head, I think my skull is rather flat at the back of my neck so they don't stay on well. I can add it into a tips video I have planned!

[@elizabethharber9448]

Aww. First thrift haul!

[@lynn858]

Cleo: My human is too busy with that camera thing to focus on me. Fine then. Time to go nom the plant! Muahahaha!

[@TinyAngryCrafts]

Oh it was lovely to finally hear your voice! And such an awesome haul. I'm sure next time I'm out, I'm going to get a bunch of scarves as well, haha!

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Aw thanks Carla! Get all the scarves :)

[@misswazzra]

I miss thrifting soooo much !

[@Asheve27]

You are amazing!! 💕

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you!

[@rachelweinstein9008]

Lots of fun! Hi to Cleo, too!

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you Rachel!

[@BeverleyButterfly]

Ooh I love the bee broach so pretty plus scarves I got one from my local charity shop so I have one just need to hone my skills to find good ones x

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thanks! Scarves are usually easier to find at thrift shops than most other vintage accessories, thats how I have ended up with so many of them!

[@BeverleyButterfly]

TheClosetHistorian I am most definitely going to start looking out for them more you look like you have some cute ones

[@TrulyJennyMorris]

I loved this! Thanks for taking us shopping with you! p.s. Thank you, as well, for saying "toy hat". Although that is not a toy hat (which I know you are aware), what everyone keeps calling fascinators from the late 30s, through WWII are called toy hats. No one ever knows what I'm talking about, so thank you! ❤

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you! I'm not actually really sure what defines a toy hat, I always just think of miniature hats (like smaller than head-size tophats and fedoras etc) as toy hats but I'm not sure where the boundaries of the term really are. They're all cute I know that! :) The resource Vintage Dancer seems to list toy hats and facinators as in the same category, vintagedancer.com/1940s/1940s-hats/ though it seems nearly anything can be a labeled a facinator these days for some reason!

[@susannamartin2487]

Yay thanks for taking us with you! It's true, there are SO MANY silk scarves to be had in thrift stores for so cheap!! BTW I love the earrings you're wearing in this video, what's the story with them?

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thanks Susanna! The earrings are celluloid with clear rhinestones and I picked them up at the same antique mall I mention in this video on an earlier visit :)

[@susannamartin2487]

Oh pretty! The looked pearl to me in the video somehow.

[@bellaadoraa]

the cat is so cute

[@maureencullen1008]

What were you wearing?I loved the colour and print

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you! It's a wrap dress I made, you can see it in full here: theclosethistorian.blogspot.com/2016/07/a-painted-veil.html

[@Timetraveler1111MN]

BEE 🐝 pin! 5:30 scored!

[@AnneAndersonFoxiepaws]

Whats my cat doing eating your plant? I wish it really was her, give MY plants a rest! Your Cleo could be my Kusskuss's twin! I love insect brooches too! I have a bee and two beetles which are modern but work for vintage as they used to really be (bee) in style when I was little (many, many moons ago!).

[@amber7253]

I don't know where you thrift at but wow hello

[@MonicaMacareno]

Forgive me but I’m on a TCH binge. I love vlogs & haul videos

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you!

[@MonicaMacareno]

TheClosetHistorian absolutely :)

[@josegracia5853]

I loved u head scarf

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you!

[@maureencullen1008]

Vbeutiful where did you buy the fabric from?

[@TheClosetHistorian]

It was on the bargain table at my favorite Denver area fabric shop called Colorado Fabrics! It's just a polyester crepe, but the colors were too fun to pass it up :)

[@lilysaintjames2240]

You are from Denver? I move to Denver in January!

[@TheClosetHistorian]

I'm from California originally, but I've been in Colorado over a decade now. It's a great place to live, I hope you will like it!

[@lilysaintjames2240]

Im from Chicago and Im a little worried about no longer living in a big city.

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Luckily Denver isn't too tiny, but it will still be a change!

[@josegracia5853]

Do you have silk square scarves?

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Yes I usually buy square shaped scarves as opposed to long rectangular ones, and I usually try to buy bigger scarves at around 30 inches square.

[@BonitaVear]

But that hat...

[@TheClosetHistorian]

I ended up taking the blue netting off because it was impossible to clean and was super dusty! I added pretty pink flowers to it though so all is well

[@herblopez8657]

Please post "not for men"

[@BionicBear88]

What?
