Again Thank You .💕💕💕💕💕🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱

[@lilolmecj]

Verette Jones that is a miracle!

[@junefrancis5232]

Yes I do like your new intro as they head out to find treasures. It was a nice day to go to the flea market with ewe. Your presentation of "your finds" was excellent! :)

[@jacquelinehealy1797]

I got chills when you showed the photo of the woman with the Statue of Liberty and Star of David. How life must have been for her.......

[@elizabethbard5135]

Yes, I had exactly the same reaction.

[@FindsByPirjo]

Looked like a huge flea market. The box with all the photos is amazing. Your know what Renee, because of you I have started to research the people behind the photos and the postcards and it's so interesting. And had my first experience on selling at the flea market last Sunday (just helping someone), long day from 7 a.m. till 16 p.m. but it was fun. Visited post office today. Have a beautiful day!

[@romancewiththepast7979]

Worth the gas money, a fresh hunting ground. As Jacqueline and Pat said the Polish lady is the star. This would make a great addition to 4 of July display, this is what America is all about.

❤️ the new moose & woman walking intro

[@lynnmaupin-simpson1215]

What a great day. I liked the smalls. The photos were really unique. Glad you had such a tremendous day!

[@karenschock9470]

I love your intro! I was describing it to a friend. Just every aspect of it. The old paper images the walking the lettering and the music! My words do it no justice. I just love it! It was what made me watch the rest. Let alone your wonder personality and if course all the antiques!

[@PaperandMoose]

Thank you for the nice words Karen! Hope you enjoy my other videos!

[@bergenpines1]

Renee you have an incredible eye, you see things of special interest, and hopefully value!, that most people would never see! Enjoy your laid back, simple, explanations of your found treasures!

[@donnas7312]

I told you it was great there! Glad you enjoyed it. Love the little hanging elves.

[@cherylross2718]

I love the pixies! I use Tiger balm, if you have a headache, rub it into your temple area, really helps. Tfs

[@patriciabarnhart1886]

Must say that I do miss your last opening. Glad you found some treasures - always interesting.

[@teresabiddle1444]

You could name your moose in the intro “Montgomery”! 😄

[@tinapoirier3524]

The Pixie Elves are just too precious!

[@PaperandMoose]

Aren't they cute! At less than 25cents a piece, they just might have to make their home with me for a bit!

[@jillybean9329]

The pixies I believe are for taper candles...adorbs!!!!!! Love them!!!!

[@cherylross2718]

Picture's are great, I even like the Peace Tea, box they came in.

[@julesiou12]

It sounds like they escaped the second world war. A lot of history in that box. Great find. I adore the pixies, so cute!

[@lindawhitaker4314]

I don’t know how you resist buying ALL these wonderful things! We have permanent indoor flea markets here where I live. I would really enjoy going to ones such as you have. New finds and good prices.

[@PaperandMoose]

Does the inventory at the permanent markets cycle or do you find that the vendors have the same items week after week?

[@lindawhitaker4314]

They cycle a little but not a great deal. I have one fairly small one that I find something new at each time. Some of the larger ones are the same each time. And they are just so big. After a while, you feel as if you’ve eaten too much. I tend to avoid them for a few months and then I go back with a fresh eye. And unfortunately, some get a little junky with modern stuff. Not too many real antiques and they are quite pricey!

[@susanhagen9505]

Those kitties are so cute

[@dannyboyWest]

Great video Pam. To hold something that know one has probably cared about in 50 or a hundred years is in my mind awesome feeling. To wonder and possibly dream about what there life was like. When i was younger i would always take my dad's binoculars and watch planes go by and wonder about the people that where on a trip and where they where going. Their lives always seem so exciting to me even though I knew nothing about them thanks for the video and that quick memory I had

[@PaperandMoose]

That's one of the reasons why I love airports - always wondering where the people are going to!

[@doridearman1975]

I love that people are saving pictorial history. Maybe the families are gone but their images and the history in the photos is worthwhile. I really enjoyed this, Thank You!!!

[@mjmj2860]

Hi Renee you got some real cute things you know that little tiger balm tin I still buy that it comes in alittle bigger glass jar sells at Walgreens. 🐱😍🐺

[@abbiestreasures1953]

You made some good selections! I love the kitties...the red one could be displayed at Christmas with a cute little Santa Hat. The box of photos was the best part. 🤗 Thanks for sharing! 🙋‍♀️

[@melissae.9842]

I have a small collection of the rubber pixies. Their prices have gone up a lot in the last couple years. I love them.

[@crystalmcmahon302]

Nice love the old Halloween stuff 😊👍

[@localsouptalks]

Love the pixies!! My guess is that they were meant to hang on flowerpots as the pot would give their feet somewhere to rest. Love your videos. Thanks!

[@edwardsawtell5712]

Nice vintage haul!

[@lisabruce1732]

I love watching you sort through flea market stuff. You got some really cute items, especially the Halloween! ❤️

[@mikki3961]

Great trip! So much vintage goodness. TY

Omg the pixies, worth the trip + all the other goodies! Have a lovely week! Jet 🧡🎸🎶⚡️

[@cyndireedpotter2454]

Wonderful photos. And you look so beautiful~! But you always look cute..and pretty.

[@deadhorse1391]

Enjoyed the video, thanks for taking us to the flea market with you! I’ve never been to Jakes but I have a friend that sets up there , has been trying to get me to go but it’s a pretty good trip for me. I will see her tomorrow at my weekly auction, will tell her about your video. The black cat salt / pepper shaker was a Ken-l- Ration pet food promo, came with yellow setting up dog ( Fido) licking it lips. I see them every now and then most sellers don’t know what they are. Some BB containers can be Collectable especially Winchester and the older ones that used lead BBs before switching to steel in the 1930s I like the photos, of course I would have said “$8?” The one with the English , German and Yiddish along with the Stature of Liberty was very interesting, no doubt marketed to a recent immigrant, not to difficult to picture a recent Jewish immigrant from Germany who was proud to be a new American buying it. The stamp on the back of that photo was a tax stamp used during the civil war...well you did remember that it was me that Told you!. 😃 Today at my Tuesday flea market there was a new woman with some paper, I saw a few things that looked interesting but I had the girls which makes it hard to look at everything Maybe she will be back Friday.

[@PaperandMoose]

Tax stamp, that was it! Interesting about the salt and pepper shaker set... I don't recall seeing the dog on the table with the cats, but then again it was pretty dark out. Good luck at the flea market on Friday!

[@doloresandruchow9502]

Omg my grandson when he was little called the tiger balm cat Vick’s lol

[@alslaughter1343]

Don't shoot your eye out!..lol.

[@debfarrell2505]

Nice haul!! I live in WA state and we don't have anything like the flea markets you have.

[@jacquelinehealy1797]

I'm in Chicago, no markets here.

[@DannyoffireAwaken]

I live near Seattle, and flea markets are definitely scarce.

[@lilolmecj]

There are a couple in Tacoma/Lakewood, I can’t vouch for the quality. But there is a great antique mall in Port Orchard that has lots of cool stuff. And the Habitat for Humanity at Lakewood Town Center often has really cool glassware.

[@sharonsomers5513]

I love the pixie elves so cute, ❤️

[@Eveningsong]

I love the vintage Halloween. I bought a reproduction pumpkin and have some of the older paper ones like I used to have in school. The elves are adorable! Great finds!!!

[@mariawilliams9864]

Great finds....what a steal, I am into jewelry whenever I see beads or jewelry on your video's I cringe lol have a lovely day Renee!!!!

[@janiceboling]

Love the old photos. That box should have been $50! What a find.

[@hfsaid]

That was a really good morning & a great video. I liked the first halloween decoration - the 1 with the witch. When you find the rabbi please show him on your next video. You found the lady on the card at the right time - next monday is the jewish new year.

[@lindapeterson9267]

I use tiger balm...great for overworked muscles......The tin is easy to carry in a pack....

[@barbfrank917]

Me too Linda, I really like the smell but my husband not so much

[@marianjones6514]

Hey Renee - I've been trying to decide whether the lady really did have such a low cut dress or whether it was a flesh colored inset. Look at the necklace - it's hard to tell whether it is a real necklace or bling sewn onto the neckline of the inset. And, about ceramic Christmas trees: I was at Hobby Lobby the other day and found several shelves full of NEW ceramic Christmas trees. I guess everybody had best be on their toes about checking them out before buying at a flea market!!

[@PaperandMoose]

Hobby Lobby also has (at least at mine) bottle brush trees in all sizes and colors! But you are correct, while they be made to look old, buyer beware!

[@pamelarising8808]

I keep forgetting to say something about the outstanding new opening footage for your videos. I just love it :D Great job! Blessings from Michigan.

[@DonVDBorgh]

I remember seeing those types of halloween cray paper decorations at Stedmands, Woolworths or the Five & Dime stores growing up. $5 is lots more than the original price, but it has to do with what survives from the past or was considered disposable. If we only knew what, from our childhood, would have been worth collecting & saving. I don't see the same value in many of the modern Dollar Store items to save for the future. Likely wrong on some counts though. Great finds!

[@Bluelight176]

Some great vintage collectibles at that flea market. Thanks for sharing the experience:)

[@darstill2195]

Lots of goodies! Love the elves, cats, and some of those photos. I'm starting to appreciate them a lot now. Today I bought 23, looks like Victorian age for $3. That's only .13 cents each! Also lots of vintage Christmas. Going back tomorrow with more cash! Was on my way to work, not expecting a garage sale on a Tuesday. Made it to work with 8 minutes to spare!

[@PaperandMoose]

Sometimes coming across the unexpected sales turn out to be the best ones!

[@melissae.9842]

The mate to the black cat is a yellow dog. You can find a lot of them on eBay. They were made by F & F as a promotion for Ken L Ration dog food.

[@kimmaddalena5493]

Love the pixies. We had red and green ones we hung on the side of a goldfish bowl (kinda like the ceramic cats that peeped over the edge). I think we got them at the old Pixie Kitchen on the way to the beach back in the late 60’s/70’s. You didn’t get the Scottie wand. I know you hesitated...... I was yelling get it get it, but you didn’t hear me. I would have purchased to add to my collection. Lol!

[@janjordan8827]

Looks like you got some nice picture frames along with all those great pics.

[@Ne0nLicht]

The tiny Tiger tin you can buy new, with the product, for about 0.1€ (about 20¢ Canadian, I think) a piece from a few shops on Ali Express.

[@manuelramos3588]

Great pickups Ms. Montgomery. 😅✌👌

Fun Flea Market! Great video Renee. ~ Texas

[@jhankri]

I'm binge watching now cause I know I'm going to learn new stuff. Love your channel. I love those pixies too. I'm not that far away and I've never been to that flea market. Looks like its a fun place to hunt for treasure at a great price. Vintage tiger balm tin is cool. That stuff is great for aches and they still sell it in health food/natural type stores. Love books, photos and ephemera.......you got a great price on that box. I hope you tell us about the postcard with the jewish lady. That is so interesting. You've got a great eye and got so much cool stuff.

[@stargardner5977]

Afternoon. On my way back from Yellowstone thanks to you Renee. Its was all you showed and more! Didn't pick any souvenirs. How ironic you picked up a beauty same day of my return! Thank you Again !

[@PaperandMoose]

So glad that you enjoyed Yellowstone! Any favorite spot from the trip?

[@stargardner5977]

@@PaperandMoose Actually it wasn't a spot so to say it was an experience. A large herd of bison where crossing the road and you could literally reach out and touch them. Of course not wise to do that but what powerful magnificent animals! What a blessing and moving memory. Will visit again. ❤🏕🌋

[@MimisTreasureCottage]

I'm so glad you got the Halloween stuff. I picked out a whole bunch of pictures once at my flea market. It was after I just got done paying a few dollars for a box, like you, and 50 cents a piece at another booth. I had to run back to my booth and when I came back the guy told me $75. I was flabbergasted and all I could do was say, "I'm sorry, I can't do that." I wound up leaving them all.

[@stuartsmith6658]

Lol 😂 is that a man I was thinking the same thing 🤣🤣

[@lilolmecj]

I have shared stories of the damaged hoarder stuff I have found, so here is a good story...last week I found a nice pressure cooker canner, I have been wanting one for a couple of years to put up veggies from my garden! As summer winds down and I have to move indoors I will be more able to sort and value the glassware. I really like seeing what yo re drawn to.

[@PaperandMoose]

Funny how often times something that you have been wanting, but have either been unable to find or can't purchase for the right price, just shows up!

[@skaarup33]

Renee you are so sweet, but you shouldn't be afraid to ask questions about the items you are interested in buying. It is your right to ask, if you don't ask you will never know and then you might go miss out on the items that you really want. But of course the seller has also the right not to answer... but then they wouldn't sell anything.... remember there are no dumb questions. 🤗🇩🇰

[@sarahanderson8371]

Oh man I would have bought all that Halloween. I never find it and if I do it's way over priced. I love going through the boxes with you. Only thing I cannot touch! Lol Thanks for sharing Renee.

[@PaperandMoose]

Looking back, I probably could have offered her a bulk price for all the pieces. Since she had been marking them down, they obviously weren't big sellers there. (Surprised me though, for vintage Beistle Halloween!)

[@juneholbrook9452]

Originally the pixies probably hang on a bowl or something decorative they came with. They were a huge fad in the 1950s.

[@paulanull8731]

Yup. A very popular fad at that time were making large (really large) brandy snifters into planters and the hanging pixies and other hanging items hung on the edge of the glass. We had Siamese cats on one and in another a few small glass fish on a stand in among the plants. Your pixies are the greatest! I've never come across red anywhere so you really have a find there. PS: take a look at the name across the box the photos are in, I thought it amusing.

[@patk4815]

Great photo of woman from Poland. I believe Israel came into existence in 1949. There's a story there....

[@PaperandMoose]

In the video, I was trying to think of that year... I didn't want to misspeak, so didn't address when it came into existence or call out the flag as the Israel flag. If I would have said the wrong year, who knows what comments would have been made! Haha

1948

Oh my gosh. Dont discount miniatures. Especially if they are old and one of a kind. I loved the dog head cane or whatever it was. I collect miniatures for over 50 years and have some amazing things. There are lots of collectors out there. I wanted to reach in and grab stuff and yell no Renee dont leave that...lol. oh and pennants can be made into round rugs or other shapes it you just add a different shaped backing. It's fairly simple to do and you can get the trim tape from Home Depot and sometimes the backing. You can also get the backing at a craft store. There is an Author named Ransom Riggs that writes the Miss. Peraquins Home for Peculiar Children series of books. I've read them all. He uses real photo images in his books. He might be interested in some that you have. I believe you can lend him photos and he will give you credit in the book for your photo collection. You may want to contact him and maybe he can look through your photos and see if he can use any of them.

[@jeanettebateman6394]

The pair of pixies are to hang on the sides of candles. I have some that were made in Norway.

[@paulanull8731]

The candle hanger figures have rounded arms to place around a candle and the legs as well are round to help the figure cling to candles. These are glass edged hangers and wouldn't work on candles. I know the kind you mean though because my mom (and now I) had angels, Santa's and a boy / girl choir singers.

[@rickeydonald4756]

The pictures without more information are always a challenge. The smalls and advertising are good finds. The ridiculous pricing will soon come to an end. This resell market has really done itself in. You do have more wiggle room to ask dealers to take less or buy the whole lot for a good price. Anyone selling realizes, the party is over. It is a market to buy and collect what you want. Things may change, but you have time to wait it out with quality items.

You found Halloween? Everything at my swaps are individually tagged and priced. No lots. Nothing. It's a big deal when I spend $20. Cinema Sickness goes to Jake's.

[@PaperandMoose]

That stand was one of the few that had vintage Halloween. During this time of year, if you do come across it, most likely it will be priced high (which is expected). I guess no one was interested in these items at this market, since this was the third time they had been marked down!

[@marshacrom6206]

3/$1 = 33.3 cents each...
