I just love your friend Sue! She is just so knowledgeable!

[@joybritton]

So, I have subscribed after binge watching your channel for the whole weekend. This is the only thing that could take my mind off of being sick with the flu. I love your channel! Thank you!💞

[@belindagillikin4174]

I love watching your video so much fun

[@millana6292]

Love the crazy quilt. And the cabinet with all the drawers. They could be pharmacy cabinets, I’m dying to own one.

[@lisamarieva3514]

I was having a fit watching this!!!!! Vintage Halloween collectors buy all year, those blowmolds were great and at the right price you could have made profit. The Gurley brand figurine candles sell well but need to be shipped in colder months. Please reconsider doing Halloween listings all year you might be surprised! I love your videos!

[@pinkbull6]

I learn so much on this channel. Thanks Jocelyn and Sue!

[@lesahanners5057]

Thanks Jocelyn Elizabeth for another joyous romp through an antique & oddities shop. Looks like there were finds galore for every taste. I liked how it rambled all over the place inside that old house, with lots of lovely nooks and crannies. The blue dog looked very sweet with its one eared cocked up quizzically as if begging the question, "Will she take me home with her this time?" So did you? It looked like a nice example of a crazy quilt too, and twenty nine dollars would be a good price for it out here. I hope Sue snapped it up. For myself I am not over fond of the crazy quilt style, mostly as the fabrics used tend to be either silks or wool, neither of which suits my fancy. Silk being too fragile and wool from that period too scratchy...well that and my allergy to wool. I have a wool tacked quilt made in the 1920's that was made up of suit sample's belonging to my husbands grt. grandfather. He was for a time a traveling suit salesman, traveling from town to town, showing the different suit shops his fabric sample's and taking orders. The quilt was made by his wife and daughter, when the daughter was in high school. The blocks sewn together by her mother are very well done, the added backing however was done by the daughter on a treadle sewing machine and very poorly executed. It will always be a cherished heirloom however, as Caroline, for so the daughter was called, was a beautiful girl, adored by her two older brothers. She died tragically at the age of sixteen of the Spanish Flu. This is the only thing made by her that we know of and so it means a great deal. I always wish every quilt could tell its story. The hands that carefully made it. The folks who spent cold nights cuddled up under it. The furniture wrapped up for safety during a move, and every the lowly horse or cow who may have found warmth from under it. Quilts were used for so many things, and I am sure each has a very interesting story if only it could talk. Have a wonderful day Jocelyn Elizabeth. You and Sue bring so much joy!

[@kittymervine6115]

love that something is "cute" is enough. If something calls to me, and I'll enjoy. seeing it all the time, I'll buy it!

[@heatherrodriguez750]

I have been watching your videos for awhile...I came across them because I watch a lot of dumpster diving videos, anyhow what caught my eye was your Name 🤗. I grew up going to thrift stores, antique shops, "junk stores" (which I thought @ the time was a giant treasure store 🏰😃) which I still think they are! As the saying goes, "One man's trash is another man's treasures" 😁. Anywho the point to my story was I started thrifting as a young'n thanks to my Grandfather Daniel who's now passed, he was my father figure & took care of me while my mom worked. She was a single mother of 3. I didn't think anything of going to the GW bins, little, ma & pa thrift shops, old junk yards .....he'd take me to I thought of them as our adventures. I think what you do as a family is so neat & your children will remember it when they get older 💕. Happy hunting 😁👏👍. Take care & much love 💖

[@jenniferhayes2625]

Beautiful jar! Sue knows just about everything doesn't she . She's great I always learn new things from you two. Love on both channels !

[@jenniferhayes2625]

Love the videos on both channels that was supposed to say lol

[@suemount6042]

I love the ghost who wants to be a pumpkin so cute, hope you got your blue dog

[@noahmitohell9762]

I always loved pins because I am allergic to so many different metals. They always have so much character. When I go to yardsales and thrifting I have been picking up cheap in bulk. I have 3 nieces getting married this year and I am goin to make them jewelry bouquets. They will all be different because I am trying to find different pieces that remind me of each girl. When I first saw one I loved it because they can last a lifetime when real or even fake flowers cant. A lady that lives in my town makes jewelry art. She does a picture in a frame. She doesnt paint it she makes the pictures with jewelry. They are all different and beautiful. So when the bouquets are done I want to use the extra to do Christmas gifts for friends and family.

[@ay7115]

Sue is so knowledgable. She could be a commentator at the antique roadshow!!!

[@daisygirl7844]

OH MY! That hardware cabinet! I’m 😍

[@aliciavogt1251]

I have that pumpkin ghost ceramic piece!

[@cmarq817]

Love love love the hardware cabinet....

[@pixieh685]

I just love you and Sue. You make the best videos.

[@CrazyLampLady]

Thanks, Pixie!

[@kyranravencroft3853]

LOVE the pumpkin ghostie thing! 😍

[@susanboyer4136]

They sell the replacement bulbs for those trees - they are easy to get. Even have the birdie ones. I have 2 trees made by my Grandmother that I love!

[@lynnedelacy2841]

I agree about people buying Halloween all year. Only today at the beginning of Jan I sold 2 bat brooches to 2 different people

[@vivianparks6169]

I ho]e you did buy the blue dog. Very Valuable. You find a painting of that blue dog you're rich.

[@asmaerahou747]

I like the way sue is academically talking😃😃😃

[@mlsmith3361]

I wish I could give you 10 thumbs up for the way you were going to justify the blue dog purchase. Hahaha!

[@CrazyLampLady]

Ml Smith Bahaha. That’s how I justify all my spending. I never pay retail for nuthhin.

[@connie736]

In my humble opinion, the best piece on the jewelry tray, was the oval, gold filled locket with seed pearls, (lower left hand corner of top tray at 3:00). Without a bit closer look, it appeared to be of the Victorian / Edwardian era and indicative of mourning jewelry. It may have held the photo of someone's dearly departed, or perhaps a lock, (sometimes woven,) of their hair. There is a considerable collector base for them and they tend to bring quite nice prices at online auction. That piece alone, in good condition, when sold, would most certainly pay for the entire tray at $45.00 and perhaps give you a profit to boot. The other pieces, at that point, are freebies. Art Deco is exceptionally hot at the moment. The blue stone piece, bar pin at the top and stick pin were just that. The stone piece however, appeared to be as is. Lady legs and hands are such fun and also sell well. Maybe the tray is still there. Buy it! Thanks for sharing.

[@CrazyLampLady]

Ooo!!! You've got an eye for costume jewelry! I think we would have lots of fun together. I know a little bit about costume jewelry, but I'm so eager to learn more. As I am sure you know, there is lots of money to be made in costume jewelry. I know the obvious pieces to look for but there is so much I'm missing and I hate that feeling.

[@connie736]

The fact that you're out there looking is what's important. Check out completed listings for highest sold lots on for example, Ebay regarding the different eras, eg; Deco, Victorian, mod, etc. to get a feel for valuable pieces. Then move on to substance, eg; rhinestone, enamels, moulded & poured glass, cut steel, the early plastics, semi precious stones such as coral and amber and so on. Designers and marks are important. Look for them. Familiarize yourself with the biggest names, eg, Haskell, Carnegie, Chanel, Eisenberg, Crown Trifari are just the tip of the iceberg. Don't necessarily pass up unmarked beauties though. Some design houses did not mark their pieces, instead they were fitted with hang tags, others didn't mark all pieces. Quality of workmanship is very useful in determining whether an item is important and will bring a nice return and I'm sure that you know that condition is tantamount to value. I could go on forever. There's so much to learn, but if you keep at it, soon you'll find yourself noticing it everywhere. Always take a moment to look. It's an affliction, albeit a wonderful one. Much luck and have a ball.

[@CrazyLampLady]

Connie Thanks so much, Connie! That is exactly how I have learned all that I have learned. I study the selling trends on various items such as lamps and vases and figurines. I’ll search “vintage ceramic lamps” and start at highest sold and just start scrolling. I have a photographic memory that way. And then I study the styles and forms. I imagine jewelry would be much the same. There are just so many different designers. And lamps, vases, and design elements are so easy because they fall under a certain stylistic category-Art Deco, MCM, Art Nouveau, Hollywood Regency. I don’t find that rule with jewelry and I think it makes it harder for me to latch on. When I am shopping for costume jewelry, I do look for certain marks and jelly bellies. I’m such a sucker for jelly bellies!

[@connie736]

Oh my goodness, the wonderful things that folks cast off. I've been seeking out antiques and collectibles for many years. The thrill of the hunt is what's always had me. I see the same in you, whether in your detecting vids or thrifting. Getting a bit of age on me now, so I stop at fewer and fewer yard / garage sales, but just can't pass up the church rummages and estate sales. I started out under the naive assumption that everything old was valuable. Boy, was I wrong. Subsequently, I found myself sitting on gaggles of stuff that was difficult to resell. Took some to auction once and was underwhelmed with the result. As you can imagine, I wound up stuck with things, I couldn't use and didn't necessarily want. So, yes, alot of things from my early hunts went on to charity or to the bin. Years later, I opened a store, sold lots of goodies and enjoyed every minute of it. I'm finally, giving it up, (at least the big stuff) and am officially downsizing my life. Kind of happy about it.The longer you look and learn, the easier it becomes to separate the wheat from the chaff, so to speak. I've always picked up jewelry, because, why not? I love it. Sold singles and lots alike, without paying it too much attention. Then one day, I attended the estate sale of a well respected, socialite in my locale. I got my number, (92, ugh) and waited in line for my turn to enter her beautiful, rambling home. Once in, I found myself in the library, where a few remnants of costume jewelry remained after having been picked over by the 91 people who had seen it first. Not much left but a few bits and bobs and some rosaries. I hurriedly picked up the only brooch there was lying there, thinking, hmmm... is it pretty enough for $5.00? and quickly went off on my way through the rest of the mansion. Later at home, I looked it over and found that it was indeed signed Trifari and had that special, little crown over the T. I decided to look around the internet to see if I could find anything about it. I did. It was a piece by noted designer Alfred Phillippe for Trifari. One similar, but not the same had sold, with a different primary stone, some time before. I dusted it, cleaned it a bit and listed it. A $1,600.00 closing bid later and I was hooked on jewelry for life. You've got what it takes to be next and when you do, I hope you'll share it with us. God bless.

[@CrazyLampLady]

Connie Ohhhh, Connie. You know what my first costume jewelry flip was? It wasn’t nearly as amazing! But I was about thirteen and my mom and grandmother dragged me to a Salvation Army. And I saw this little rhinestone cat pin in the jewelry display. I bought it. And found it about ten years later in a drawer. Saw the Trifari mark on the back. I sold it for $100 bucks! It wasn’t $1,600! But it made me think... there might be something to this costume jewelry thing. And now I always look for Trifari at least. The good Trifari anyway. ☺️

[@PascalMarieFinland]

A noter great episode I had to watch despite everything around me ! Nice Stuff in this shop, What about toys ? What about the blue dog and the fabric ? Second shops and antics shop are definitely good place to be during the winter time. This will be my new topic this winter in Finland, video to come next week. Thank you for sharing, take care and see you soon again. Kind regards from Finland, Pascal

[@CarlosLopez-ho5yj]

Aww the pumpkin ghost cute..

[@brodrick3164]

Thank you for a surprise Saturday video. I first watched you on Kurts videos. I have not gone back and watched all of your detecting videos yet but I plan to. Thank you for this channel I have enjoyed every crazy lamp video. When I have the money for my AT max I most likely will buy from your store. Sporting an old XLT and a new goldmonster. So I need a new AT max for next year.

[@CrazyLampLady]

Hi James! I’m so glad you found my videos and are enjoying the content. 😊 The XLT is a killer machine. My buddy Pete still uses an XLT and can detect circles around anyone and everyone I know. When you’re ready to try something new, send me an email. We like to take care of our friends and subscribers. [e-mail]

[@bonniebryant3238]

I want a Sue! Where can I find one for sale?!? I want her to come thrift with me! She is so knowledgeable and her voice is so soothing. Jocelyn you better hold on tight to her!

[@raggedyann4372]

Bonnie Bryant Everybody wants Sue, she’s AWESOME!🥰

[@jenj9709]

14:23 We had one of those vintage snowmen growing up, I’ve been scouring our local shops to no avail :(

[@violettabutler836]

sorry if this is a silly question, however what does the number 13 on the bottom of the jar mean?

[@eringomez-watters7881]

Violetta Butler The #13 is usually considered an unlucky number, so they would throw out or break the #13 therefore making them very hard to come by.

[@canadianrelichunters5259]

That dark haired lady did kinda spooked me too,,,;) Well done as always Jocelyn. ;) atb

[@vickiefraser4341]

You are killing me with the mid century modern green lamps. I can’t find them in your shops to buy!!

[@susansmith6680]

Wait, did you get the blue dog?? Great video always fun to watch you and Sue. I have a quilt from my husband's grandmother all hand stitched. It is so beautiful I know why Sue loves quilts.

[@CrazyLampLady]

Susan Smith No blue dog yet. Just waiting on the sale. And then it’s MINE!!! It’s funny, though. It’s a smoking set and I don’t even smoke.

[@shirleyann5420]

Those steps sound just like our antique store in a old church.

[@matthewthacker3683]

im loving the purple hair

[@rosemariehomeyerbente1832]

Nice quilt! I wonder if it was done by a classroom or church for sale.

[@JeffreysLittleVilla]

A quilting bee day for 3 or so people/kids?

[@kyrad6543]

But wait! Did you get the blue dog? Come on, don't leave a girl hanging! I love the leg pin and the cat with the red ball. I've never seen one like it.

[@kathelessley4813]

I want that quilt, PLEASE!!!

[@shelmonella]

I’m curious as to why you don’t buy the ceramic Christmas trees when you find them so cheap in the off season. You mentioned in another video how they really increase in value at Christmas time. Looks like they would be a very good investment, as long as you don’t keep them for yourself!

[@CalvinsCorner72]

6:57 that is well worth the $29 because their is no way I would sit and make this for that little. I mean come on it took years to make. Well? Did she buy it? Ha Ha Ha you know what? You had me looking for the #13 last weekend when I saw some of these. Heck I even looked through mine. LOL See your very influential. I wish I could borrow you a Day to take to the antique places around me. We have so many HUGE ones.

[@hannahbrewer8058]

What does the 13# mean ?

[@crazymomaterri1208]

Oohh you should check out a couple of stores in Europe if you have time.

[@CrazyLampLady]

I wish! I'm afraid it's going to be mostly a work trip. But.. they say if you do what you love, you don't work a day in in your life.

[@paulastardust4257]

What is it about the number 13 with the Ball jars?

[@volflipz]

Someone swapped the heads on your ghost while the clay was still green before it was fired. I like it

[@CrazyLampLady]

Big Poppa Toulon I think you must be right. I like it too. It’s funky. 😊

[@theresacarmen6220]

Silk will shatter over time. Something just for decorating it wouldn't matter.

[@joyceferrell7260]

Dont understand jadeite, was cheap dishes when I was a kid. Not anything my mama wanted. We had pretty dishes.

[@eddya.3776]

I'm just going to say this Jocelyn, if neither one of you bought that quilt I'm hoofing it to Pennsylvania and we are going to butt heads....literally. 🐐

[@CrazyLampLady]

Eddy A. Nobody bought the quilt! See you soon!! There are so many fantastic crazy quilts here for dirt cheap since we’re in Amish country. We really have to pick and choose.

[@Oglulubell]

What does the number 13 on a mason jar mean?

[@Ashley-ku7is]

You should have bought that celluloid leg and hand. Those go for SO MUCH money on Etsy. They literally sell overnight.

[@karenlee7156]

I Love the info from Sue, I would love to shop with her. How does she know so much?

[@CrazyLampLady]

Sue is a very, very smart woman. She has multiple degrees in various areas of study, which I can never remember because there are too many.

[@DSIreland]

Love this omg would you like to see the things we come across

[@lynnjames5039]

I think those nail holes are supposed to look like worm holes

[@elainefletcher2111]

Hi Jocelyn Elizabeth, Love watching your videoes back here in the UK. I cant beleive how expensive things are in the Seconhand Shops where you are. Way overpriced. Ive always been a horder, only because things are so cheap. I also work in a Charity shop called Age Concern. If you have a Link where i can put photoes on id be more than happy to sell to you Alot cheaper than what your paying, also goes for your freind or Mum, not sure who she is to you. Hope you dont mind me writting this as a comment. x

[@YanickaQuilt]

A 100 years old crazy quilt for 29$!!!!!!!! Sorry I had to pick myself up the floor. I am French Canadian and quilting was more an American, Anglo Canadian art while we were doing more waving textile art. For that quilt, even with all the problems I can see an easy 250$ price tag

[@Hutch_moto]

As you know I follow and very much enjoy your relic channel, I am now following you here , you crazy lamp lady, typical shopping not my thing but I would definitely hang with you Gals lol , neat stuff , history lesson of sorts.

[@CrazyLampLady]

Daniel Hutchinson Hahaha. It’s a different kind of shopping for sure! Kind of like metal detecting only not as dirty. And not such a high chance of tetanus.

[@janvafa4253]

The case that was $95 would store relics very well ... 😜😳😳

[@wacobayless9033]

I've seen that little cat on eBay for, I think, $8.00.

[@briancarter4332]

Blue Dog = Marmaduke!!!

[@CrazyLampLady]

Haha. I love my Marmaduke. He's standing next to me right now because I'm eating pizza... and there's definitely drool.... lot's of drool.

Wanting to know what the tattoo says on your arm!

[@walterarndt5840]

after all the pumpkin did neeed a new body.love these vidios you 2 r great

[@CrazyLampLady]

Thanks, Walter! Yes, that poor pumpkin. Haha.

[@TIFANISTCLAIR]

What is the value of the #13 jar is the 14 etc.

[@hannahbrewer8058]

I was wondering also

[@eringomez-watters7881]

As everyone knows, #13, is an unlucky number so they would always throw out or break the jars with #13, making them very hard to come by.

[@retrobebop61]

Sue’s voice sounds familiar. Has she ever been in radio?

[@pigoff123]

I want the drawers but wouldn't pay even half that

[@hardyakka6200]

You need a good chest for your metal detecting finds. There was a nice looking one in view in a corner just before you pulled that crazy quilt to bits. Our old dump at my birth home built in 1918 had glass bottles that had a rim of glass on the neck. They referred to them as ginger bottles. Crazy Lamp Lady named for you or Sue?

[@clairehennessy4064]

What is Sue's Web site?

[@lynnedelacy2841]

SUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@crazymomaterri1208]

That big chest was great! What kind of thongs do you wear Sue? I have nearve damage in my feet & sometimes use a cane. I noticed you wear thongs and do alot of walking in these shops. Also get someone to put a leather wrist band on your cane I don't loose mine anymore.

[@anselb2000]

I will bring a big, fat wad of money and you two can come along and help me make purchase decisions! How about that? I wish you could make a video twice a week, at least!

[@CrazyLampLady]

anselb2000 Haha. I try to make at least two a week. But last weekend I was having computer troubles. Usually I shoot for Wednesday’s and Saturday’s for CLL and Monday’s and Thursdays for RR.

[@karend.allenpassions9305]

Hate to be a crybaby but must speak up. Do you have any control over the ads at the beginning of the videos or is all KZbin? I am having issues with the latest new one where the guy is talking about his opiate addiction. The ad is well done and the message needs to be out there ~~~ but EVERY video??? Especially when binging to catch up... I cannot watch it all day long, which makes me feel very guilty because I cannot contribute to your arrangement for ads ~~~ but I can send crackers like Sue said for the kids dinner,,, LOL

[@karend.allenpassions9305]

UPDATE ~ within 24 hours of this post the ads were changed and now I receive a variety of them which I watch. Hope this helps...
