Happy Friday everyone!!! Let's go junkin' in Texas together! Here are the non-sponsored links I mention: Get my favorite flea market shopping bag: HULKEN BAG: bit.ly/YTHulken (affiliate link) Our Texas Ranch Airbnb: 88888ranch.com Canton Flea Market: www.firstmondaycanton.com What are ya'll finding out thrifting this week??

[@antonellabassi3466]

I found a West Germany pottery vase for 5 euros, a fun pottery jar with ‘Afternoon delights’ inscribed on it and a couple possibly very valuable Harry Potter books for 2 euros each. Going back tomorrow.

[@Dawn_Reane]

Glad you enjoy 1st Monday Trades Day in Canton, TX. I live about 10 miles from the grounds and go almost every month except for the hottest months like July, August and September and we always start in the same open area by the Civic Center like you did. It is my husband's and myself favorite part of the flea market.

[@greenphoenix687]

Love a slightly tipsy Laura.... Thanks for all the tips that were flowing...you're epic :) And Nancy as a substitute banter partner for when Jesse can't join you is fun too. Cant wait for the next Laura and Nancy in Canton instalment :)

[@ryannecomea-callin2560]

❤Thanks for taking us shopping! LOVE THE JENNY LIND SPINDLE BED! I grew up with the twin bed version, I used to lie in bed and turn-twist the the spindles, ever so gently, making them squeak, just to hear them. Hello to Nancy! Nancy, you are an all-in trouper! Thank you for your contribution and committment to bringing it all to the rest of us!

[@nancyveranth8108]

OMG!!! I did the exact same thing with my Jenny Lind headboard!!! I can hear the squeaky noise in my head even to this day.

[@ryannecomea-callin2560]

almost a kind of bird-song!

[@user-pg1nl4pr1l]

The item you called a “stamp” is a meat tenderizer it’s wooden handle is missing. My mom used one like it all the time.

[@kingsdaughter3138]

Yes, to make cube steak :)

[@joystone6460]

I still have one I use.

[@evangeline3152]

Your video brought back some wonderful memories of going to Taxco and First Monday with my mom many years ago. We traveled a lot. We even drove a F-150 with stick shift from Mississippi to Alaska and back one summer. We never had reservations or schedules to keep. We camped mostly. I’m so grateful I got to have those experiences with her.

[@backknot]

"Junk drunk"!! Love it!

[@debbiekennedy6030]

BTW, i loved your animated, wine induced giddiness! You're so cute.

[@pigoff123]

We were stationed in Germany from 72 to 96. I loved shopping the flea markets. I started as a teenager. It was so much fun. I have so many collections. Then later I took those bus tours of factories and have those collections. Now when we go shopping I love collecting European things. I also got a lot of old things from my grandmothers house and just shipped some of my mothers things to the states. My house is full. Lol.

[@ryannecomea-callin2560]

PS I do like the color of the planter, and the abstract splatter...I like it as a neutral with a lot of heart and soul! Sometimes when something is out of your comfort zone, it seems weird until you try it out with other things that you are already used to. I call it EYE-STRETCHING, when I am taking in a new design or color combo or some off-beat proportional combo. The waterfall willow droopy curves are so fun on the bracket part! Whoever designed that and put it together had it going on, it is lucky that the pieces stayed together and un-altered

[@sandyprather9133]

love your term "eye-stretching". I've bought a few items that you could call "eye stretching", brought it home, lived with it for awhile (put it in my home and just "lived with it"), and found that over time, I really grew to like it. I find it exciting that I can "grow my taste" in the fact that even at my age, I can learn to like something different than my "status quo".

[@LindaSells-yq9fg]

That bed is actually a Jenny Lind . Not Ginny Lin.

[@lesHanalala]

That caused a kerfluffle in my brain, too - lmao 😅

[@gregsmith9299]

👍🤣

[@janewasson4845]

Jenny Lind was a Swedish opera star

[@amandabradley6256]

I need to come to the USA just to buy one of those beds……they’re just beautiful.

[@wendymorrison5803]

Laura sometimes get things wrong. But her knowledge is wide and impressive. Can't fault her for research.

[@whoopiy3]

You guys should make traveling Jean jackets…make it a thing for you guys

[@nancyveranth8108]

love this idea!

[@lrothweiler]

For the planter, I would take an old pair of black leggings, put the planter in a leg to find the best fitting spot, and cut to fit with room to tuck over the planter edge. Then I'd line the inside with plastic and plant it up. This way, you get the look you want, and don't alter the original piece. Great finds all around in this video!

[@emmalovestotumble]

genius

[@sherrieowens1591]

So much great jewelry! Canton is so much fun. We live about 50 miles from Canton.

[@samscarboro6805]

You need to have the Texas applied to the center back of blue Jean jackets.

[@debbiekennedy6030]

A fantastic video. Ya'll make great pickin' partners. Fantastic finds. You mentioned "heat lightening," there actually is no such thing. The lightening is from a far away storm that you cannot hear the thunder from. I'm a southern gal who grew up with the term, and didn't learn differently until more recent years. I used to sleep with my Grandmommie when we visited. She always had the window and curtains open in the summer. I used to lay there in bed watching what was referred to as "heat lightening" off in the distance until I dozed off. A sweet memory feeling secure and peaceful.

[@dmreddragon6]

There are many types of lightning, and when googled you can find "heat lightning" also known as silent lightning. Lightning w/o visible clouds is referred to as heat lightning.

[@mitzicausey5675]

I love the planter as it is.

[@The-Lost-Attic]

I’m happy to see you enjoying yourself with your friend! Is such a beautiful farm and all the beautiful animals!!

[@timmymendenhall1275]

My grandparents starting taking me about 55 years ago. Love it. Hope you girls have a blast.

[@leftcoastrevivals]

That’s so special! ❤️❤️

[@laurieduronio9266]

Love the gold & silver bracelet Laura and would have loved to have seen your wedding ring with it!!

[@Chardonnay007]

I'm originally from Duluth, so the Fitgers bottle opener was a fun walk down memory lane. The Fitgers bottling plant was repurposed as a great boutique shopping "mall" with many unique shops when I was last in Duluth about 15 yrs (or more) ago. 😂

[@tdurham5499]

Loving the “Happy Hour Hall”!

[@fatimalomba799]

That brass bangles with the Bakelite is AWESOME!! 🥰🥰🥰

[@leftcoastrevivals]

It’s a keeper for sure 😍

[@lisacorcoran7327]

@@leftcoastrevivals I think it may be European. I have seen some compact bracelets, where the bakelite is actually a hinged compartment that can open up for perfume or makeup.

[@ShannaFae2023]

The wall brass planter would be dope as a bangle/bracelet jewelry holder and store the pot or sell it.

[@suzyallen1726]

It's the law of attraction laura. You're sending messages into the universe and they respond. Ive had that happen to me quite a few time. Things I needed were right there in front of my nose😊❤❤❤

[@elizabethparkhurst2824]

That turquoise plate is gorgeous!!

[@sandyprather9133]

I loved how in the very beginning (your first vendor) said he was flexible on his prices...."I'm not married to any of this." I loved his attitude! I really enjoy your videos and am looking forward to part 2 of your Canton experience. As a side bar, the title of your video is "The World's Largest Flea Market/Canton Texas....haven't you heard? Everything's bigger in Texas! 😁😄😉

[@LauraRoberts-ed9nj]

I grew up going there!!When i was a kid i would save months to go to First Monday to buy my rocks.I still have some!!My Dad would chomp on a 🦃 leg!!!

[@The95AVALON]

You are simply delightful. When I feel blue, I look for you to help me up!

[@lindsayfoxsaddlebackfashio2354]

The gold and silver bracelet has a the Tudor rose in the center. It’s also part of my logo Edgewater Rose Regalia ❤

[@nancyhubbard7504]

Someone probably already said in the vast comments, but the Bill & Lou Zuni earrings are by Bill & Lou Laweka. I had the exact same pair of clip-ons in coral. Congratulations! And fun trip with Nancy!

[@pigoff123]

My wooden bed was made in 1898. I love it.

[@elgie112]

That beautiful planter is throwing out some Art Deco vibes! I love it!

[@maggiemay0328]

I went to the Canton flea market many years ago and bought a Bichon puppy. I wasn’t into shopping back then but I wish I could go back now and go junking!

[@kathytattrie1984]

Well...That was fun !! Looking forward to next week 🤗❤

[@brenda9990]

If one wanted to refinish furniture there is an abundance of pieces here it looks like. And omg…the turquoise jewelry! Fabulous.

[@beverlygrimmett8749]

Hi 😂 happy to see you in Canton, TX. I live 2 hours from there. If I thought we could meet up, I would drive there just to see you.....I love to watch your videos.....shout out to Beverly and Carolyn in Texas......

[@laurieboughfman5727]

You two are so much fun together!

[@eagleheads1221]

That black and white beaded necklace looks more like a hat band to me…use the slider to size to the crown of your cowboy hat.

[@LindaKayHolevas]

15:15 I have that DeGrazia sun catcher ! I have quite a few of them actually. My former mother-in-law was a huge DeGrazia collector & I was blessed to be given part of her collection when she passed. ❤

[@denverdubois5835]

I think that sterling pendant was the Bear Kachina. I'm not sure, just learning about Kachinas, but it was an intriguingly storybook version, more Western fairy tale-ish I mean, not the more traditional Hopi rendering. Really such an interesting object! I think my favorite thing you found though was the green turquoise ring. SO beautiful. I'm much more partial to green turquoise than bright blue.

[@paulettedutcher8292]

I just can’t begin ☺️ What a wonderful place, what wonderful finds, such beautiful, fancy pretties❤ I’m definitely in love and to think I had no idea Canton, Texas existed. That’s why I follow you 🥰

[@debyoung7818]

I Loved Everything about this Episode! It was Fabulous ❤

[@user-dn9vd9xg9p]

Awe I am jealous! I wanted to go there! My spouse would not stop. He knew it would be an all day event for me!

[@MichelleTagg-vd1ek]

Hello from Australia. Your flea market finds have re-ignited my passion for Op shopping. Love watching.

[@sandyprather9133]

Laura, you scored HUGE on the jewelry! Love pretty much everything you purchased from "Granny"!

[@MsRoseteach]

Last week when I commented on a stormy night in Texas and you said you were in Canton.....I hoped that you would find a nice place to stay and plenty of turquoise and silver....... and it looks like you did both!!......oh and you also met a Rhonda which is also my name!....lol

[@user-ox2vn9ln7h]

OMG I would lose my mind if I went to a market that big 😂

[@AFSVS27]

Hello, make sure you come the first weekend in October to Las Vegas. Go to Boulder City, Nv (1/2 hour drive). Boulder City has so many Antique/thrift shops plus this is also the weekend of Art in the Park (a craft/antique/art festival for free). This little town comes alive with festivities, people and thrifting. It’s a wonderful weekend. Bring a van to transport your new treasures!

[@kimaffleck7943]

When I moved to Texas I found it hilarious. Krumkake... Norweign "crumb cookie" and Spanish kaka is NOT the same! LOL!!!

I just love to "go" picking with you! Your enthusiasm is contagious. Did you and Nancy meet when she came on one of your trip? A compatible travel friend is such a treat!

[@leftcoastrevivals]

We sure did! We met on the Italy trip and we’ve now vintage shopped in Italy, London, Norway, Japan and Texas together 😆 We were actually kinda email pen pals a little bit over the years before we met too. ❤️

Pack away the pink planter piece, and use the metal part for hanging jewelry or belt. Put it all together again when you sell it!

[@leftcoastrevivals]

I was even thinking keys by the front door 😍

[@nancyhubbard7504]

Oh, additionally, I know you wouldn’t change the wall planter, but I loved the idea of the black matte paint. The current glaze is busy and takes away from the cool brass!

[@SharonNickson]

Hopefully you enjoyed your trip here! Come back anytime 😀

Seeing all that STUFF makes my heart go pitter patter! What FUN!!!!!!!!

[@jansmith8110]

My husband and I shopped Canton back in the day (1978)!! When we were young married college kids, looking for cheap, but substantial furniture. As I write this, I'm looking at an old trunk we refinished and have used as our coffee table ever since! Haven't been to Canton since that one and only year (78-79) we lived in TX, but I hear it's not the same "field" (no buildings) of very cheap antiques it once was.

[@donamurphy8182]

You have such great adventures! Thank you for taking us all with you to Canton Flea Market. Loved that spool bed you saw, agree that price was fantastic. I am from East Coast, New England area (NH) so of course I love spooled beds. Great jewelry, I liked that elongated all sterling ring and of course the Italian gild and silver bracelet. Hope I see day 2!!!

[@susancarroll7697]

If you wanted to modify that pink vase while you use it, use acrylic paint. You can easily peel it off when you are ready to sell.

Oh yes! At least give it a shot once. It’s great for me because I’m mostly looking for southwest jewelry and Texas is great for that 😁 I’ve always found a few designer Mid Century modern items but not a whole lot so it all just depends on what your on the hunt for.

Also, those longhorn patches or appliqués, if you were going to hang them on the tree for a little while, unless you wanted to do less work, you could always kind of get some stiffened felt and then just tack the corners onto the felt cut to size and then hang it like that so that it will hold them open and then actually you could have the felt backing be part of your patch and then you could wear that on your jacket or something like that like turn the applique into a patch

(btw-I live in Houston, so Canton weather is nothing to us 🥴) I was thinking, that long strand of semi precious stones, they remind me of what we called “twist beads” in the 80’s. We’d take two or three different kinds of strands, twist them together & fasten into a chocker length necklace. So fun! 😊
