I ALMOST GAVE UP! GOODWILL HAUL + VINTAGE SHOPPING | Studio Tour Update | My Thrifted Christmas

[@terryc1445]

I live in a small town in Alabama which has a small antique mall called Rustique Relics. I have started bringing my grandchildren (7 & 10) there to shop for presents for their Mom and Dad instead of going to a big box store. They enjoy looking (so do I) and finding something unique and special for each of their parents and it is becoming a tradition we look forward to each year for birthdays and Christmas. It’s never too soon to start their appreciation for vintage treasures instead of buying new. My daughter and her husband especially enjoy these thoughtful gifts.

[@donnahughes2472]

What an awesome tradition! Your grandchildren will always remember these times. Plus, it's cool that they get something unique for their parents. Lovely!

[@pegprather84]

You’re like a serial show…you keep us hanging for the next episode! I love every show you make. Keep ‘em coming!

[@itsmyparty4637]

Hi there. Those birds on the wallhanging next to the Lion one are Guinea fowl we have lots of them all over Southern Africa, and Zimbabwe, in fact, they are endemic to Africa in general. Bred for the table in Europe too.

Okay now i have list of upcoming videos that im looking forward to watch 1. Sister's room reveal 2. Jewellary night 3. Top 22 vintage find Cant wait!! 😍

The story of the Maltese Falcon is not just about the movie, but the Order of the Knights of Malta.

[@brennagreenglasspeacock]

It must feel so great to spread out and display all the items you’ve curated over the years! I can imagine how it helps to get the creative juices flowing being in your new space (: looking forward to seeing more updates on your sisters room! It’s always a pleasure seeing what you’ve been up to lately.

[@antonellabassi3466]

This!

[@kathlynblack3517]

I get a chuckle every time I see you hone in on those ice buckets! I own one. lol. I use mine to hold my cats' water bucket. They were tipping their water, so I placed a margarine bucket into the ice bucket, and use that as their water dish. (I've stored the lid.) It's hard for them to tip over the round ice bucket...LOL! Love, love your style and the things you look at while thrifting. I've seen too many others' videos that are about clothing or kitsch items. I'm an artist, from the 60's and your style fits me best. Thank you for all that you do.

[@susanalfieri4487]

What a great idea!

[@janewasson4845]

Fabulous, Laura! Loved seeing your collections. My hubby and l have been in the antiques and vintage biz for 50 years, and live in a restored 1898 Victorian. I taught art, and specialized in art history, so you can imagine our house! Thanks, always a joy to see you,, and Merry Christmas to you, Jesse, and your families! 🌟🎄🌟

[@cmarq817]

31:51 that’s not Mexican. That’s Portuguese traditional pottery made in my region ( Leiria) that we use to bake and roast in the oven. My mother even sells those pieces in her shop! That is perfect for getting Portuguese duck rice ! Yummy! Love you Laura!

[@treasuregoblyn]

Cool! Did you see this @leftcoastrevivals It's great when people share their knowledge 🙂

[@treasuregoblyn]

Oh I thought we could tag creators. My link didn't work 😕

[@clareellam1615]

It’s great to see what vintage designer names there are in the states being a lot more familiar with ours common in the uk. Your home looked so cosy and festive too, some great finds there! Happy new year! 🍻

[@ellaaltman2137]

The Studio looks fantastic! I am sure unboxing all these treasures was like an early Christmas for you. Again, Laura you have created your own amazing reality and could not be more happy for you. Wish you EVERY success!

[@leftcoastrevivals]

It sure was!! Some of them had been boxed up since moving from Vancouver 1.5 years ago!

I am absolutley in love with that painting nude. Fabulous!!! Fantastic find !

I am a travel nurse and I went to some of the goodwills you go to. I hoped I would run into you but didn't. I am from Austin TX but my heart stayed in your beautiful state. I was in Beaverton, Vancouver, WA, Portland, Eugene, Seattle, Cannon Beach, Astoria and Medford. I brought with me some things I thrifted and have set a goal to go back just to thrift. I love your channel. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and all your loved ones

[@angiemartin6601]

In one of your previous episodes you had asked what we would like to see in your videos. This (for me) was the PERFECT combination of everything I like to watch. Best video so far!

[@leftcoastrevivals]

😁 yay!

[@luannski6895]

When decorating walls I cut Freezing paper to match the shape of frames and other items I'm going to put up and mark where the nails should go. I then tape them in place and move them around until I'm satisfied. I then hammer the nail in, pull down the paper and hang the item. It helps in keeping nail holes to a minimum.

[@justme-on7bn]

You have fabulous taste and your little space looks awesome! Definitely can’t find this stuff in the Midwest. The West Coast has such a vibe!

[@mycreativelife-renee6315]

I love that you buy kid art. I love when I find it. I think they are the best artists. My kids art is a whole wall in my house and framed like a museum gallery wall and everyone comments on it. It is def the best wall in the house. :-). The leopard is amazing!

[@paulaapplegate7085]

When you picked up that black bird I knew exactly that it was a Maltese Falcon. ( yes, I'm old) lol. Awesome find!! Love it and have always wanted to find one.

[@LordGrumpus]

I exclaimed “ that’s the Maltese Falcon!” 😂 I bought mine ten years ago for $65. One of the best films ever.😎 glad I’m not alone 🎉😅

Hey Laura, the color of your bluey-green candles and bottle vase is called "greasy green" after one of the colors of trade beads the French-Canadian fur trappers used to barter with the Native Americans back in the 18th and 19th centuries.

[@sandyherschberger3620]

I'm so excited for you! The travel opportunities you're giving your subscribers, the awesome Nytch app, your gorgeous design studio. Wow! You are one busy lady! But, this particular video showing your beautiful home decorated for Christmas was awe inspiring. I love, love, love all the greenery! Each is so full and lush! Just gorgeous!

[@oldladylovesBruno]

You have no idea how inspirational you are! Your staging is so perfect and I love your style. I'd love to see you do another Goodwill bins video.

[@hnycreek]

Out of all the youtube videos I watch, yours is, by far the BEST! Your studio is awesome and I would pick everything the same way you do. You are my vintage soul sister!!!

[@kathykramer6267]

I often go thrifting and come home empty handed. But I still have fun and enjoy looking at the items and imagine what I would do to it to make it useable in my space. I love the bumpy base! The texture is so interesting and amazing.

[@cathyblack4611]

Love your videos! Your new shop is beautiful. Love your style!

[@LWilli65]

I laughed so hard because of the picture hanging on the wall to the left side of the screen. Around to 20:00-21:00 mark. The triangle got me Lol. Also the coffee pot with the wood handle... Could you just refinish the top and handle to match the tea pot you have at home? Just a thought. You got some great stuff. I love the black bird. That movie scared me when I was a child. The Birds. Alfred Hitchcock did some amazing movies.

We live in the Columbia river gorge. There are so many cute, antique shops. I know there’s one in Hood River, another one in Binging Washington that’s right across the bridge from hidden River and then in the Dalles there’s three or four on 2nd St. it may be a fun day trip when the weather is good to go check them out

[@bonitaharrison4736]

Are you selling items in your design studio, or is it just for storage? So much better than boxed up. I have lots of finds in boxes that I really can't enjoy. Some day I will shelve them. Great idea. Why not enjoy them where you can see them! Same for my silk flowers. Some day I hope to store them in florist's containers. Will probably cover them with cheese cloth to keep them fresh, but way better than wrapped up in boxes. SOME DAY! One of the things I love about your channel is the research you do on pieces. I love learning about items you thrift, their history and besides that I learn something.

[@scottishmamaof5559]

Hey Laura,as soon as my hubby saw the Bull he said "OTTO KERAMIC",before you said you said anything about it!,lol. He says hes probably wrong,but he looked it up wen you bought yours cos he really liked it,& remembered it straight away 😃 xxx

Hello Laura, can you double check the piece you picked up, that you said was Mexican pottery? Because I have a matching piece that came from Portugal, mine is a large bowl with lid, which it's used for beans, but I no longer have use for it. If you're interested let me know and I can send you a picture.. Thanks for sharing

[@marcelmarcel7854]

I'm wondering if that cobalt glass ball with the rope around it was an old Japanese fishing float at the second Goodwill you visited. It was right after the butterfly box. They stopped making those floats in the 1970s and have used plastic ever since. I would have picked it up in a heartbeat!

[@KatherineYoung]

Thank you for showing leaving empty handed. I have been berated by people for leaving empty handed in videos… but that is real life thrifting. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@leftcoastrevivals]

It absolutely is! And sometimes we just don’t find items worth buying ❤️

[@amyweaver7413]

I’m sorry people complain about that - I actually prefer the thrifter/resellers who are honest about the process.

[@nancyodonnell5298]

People berate you? People are crazy.

[@KatherineYoung]

@@nancyodonnell5298it is because people want to you fill the cart. They expect that because many big accounts always do. I have been called names, I have been written full paragraphs of how I didn’t do a good job, I have had comments I have had to delete.

@Katherine Young wow! That's crazy! I don't have a channel, but in real life, when I thrift I have a rule: do I like it? Or, do I love it? So, sometimes I don't buy anything.
