The reason Laura's vlog stands out to me among the growing number of vintage/thrift channels is the talent and care she puts into styling her finds. For example, the "weird wood thing", while adorable, did not jump out at me as a particularly interesting item. But later, seeing it on her shelf at home, I had to acknowledge what an incredible knack she has for mixing different design eras and materials into such beautiful and thoughtful displays. This truly inspires me and keeps me coming back. 🙂

[@susieq3765]

My Grandma had a ceramic toothpick tree, which I was lucky enough to inherit. She stuck multi-colored mini gumdrops on the picks, which looked like little Christmas balls. The wooden one you found is BEAUTIFUL! I bet cheese and/or salami squares would look cute too.

[@W3ndyPearc3]

What about stuffed olives.

[@jillnein5]

I was going to gum drops too. They may not be everyone’s favorite, which is ok, because then you may not have to replenish it as often. I’m loving your Midwest junkin trip. I’m originally from MI. Thank you for taking us with you, again

[@debbievanhorn6205]

For the tree toothpick holder, I thought of cherry tomato’s, but like the idea of gumdrops. My Mom had a plastic one & she always put gumdrops on it. So many possibilities.

[@nclare7]

I suggested the same!

[@susanwindley9165]

My mom did the same. Red and green gumdrops.

[@kellysorg357]

Gumdrops on the tree 🌲 toothpick holder!! Would look adorable!!

[@pamavery9352]

I think gumdrops also with ribbon candy as garland.

[@catrinahavumaki80]

Toothpick tree! Cuteeee. Caprese on a stick 😲😲😲

[@heididepotter8136]

That miror is amasing, my favorite!

[@persiphonehellecat]

I have that Geisha! I bought her for 6 bucks at the thrift store. Her base is smaller - just one level - but I adore her. She polished so beautifully! She is sitting right in front of me. It totally made my day that you found one!

[@jostahl394]

The wooden tree toothpick holder was often used with colorful spiced small gumdrops on picks to look like a Christmas tree or other seasonal colors. It seems to me they were popular in like the late 50's-early 60's. LOL...I'm 75 so could be off a few years. Was a long time ago. Lovely find and frankly had forgotten all about them till you found this one. 😊 Brought back great memories!

[@jml238]

Mini rum balls for the Christmas 🎄!

[@k.d.1050]

I've also got a handmade Tic Tac Toe board. My son loves playing with it. Ours is white & black. I got it at a Craft Show.

[@judyrogers9313]

The wood pitcher and cups are EVERYTHING !

[@beccariddle2649]

Colorful Gumdrops on toothpicks for your tree! Your nieces and nephews will love it!

[@Melpomenes17]

The first store is what I call organized chaos! Love it! ❤️

[@leftcoastrevivals]

That’s what I call my life 🤣❤️

[@natvtxn1213]

Nice trip. Looks like you ladies had so much fun!You could use gumdrops on your wooden tree. 🎄

[@tammyhendrickson9362]

Italian dressing marinated mini mozzarella balls, basil and cherry tomatoes on toothpicks look fantastic and you can change it up by swapping out ingredients and adding salami or al dente tortellini.. one of my go to party foods as it’s easy to assemble and can be eaten cold or warm

[@MsTitanic99]

Too funny how those penguin ice buckets find you almost everywhere you go. I think you should start putting a number up each time you find one just for laughs and giggles. Fun to see the vintage shops in my home state that I need to go see!

[@amyweaver7413]

Such beautiful finds. Green stuffed olives or gum drops, or any sugared gummy type candy would be cute on the toothpick holder.

[@harriettlamar7828]

I had just said the green olives too and figured I would be the only one to say that. I love eating them and think as you do that they would look great on that little tree. ❤

[@Chris-ub7pm]

Me too!

[@cynthiahudson5228]

Olives on the toothpick holder! Love your style!

[@DeviousKnitter70]

Love your jewelery finds, and the cat painting!!

[@KatherineYoung]

Hunt & Gather is my favorite store to wonder and the guys from Wild Things are so nice! I can’t wait to watch this! ❤❤❤

[@leftcoastrevivals]

I wish I could shop Wild Things every weekend 😍

[@gemmapimentel3214]

It’s so fun thrifting with her. She has a very excellent taste! I’ve watched all her videos & waiting for more!

[@WAG24205]

Laura, you have such a way with words. You describe things in such a way as to give life to the pieces you buy. And I think each time I comment I say and will say again, you are so very knowledgeable, it is a joy to watch you. Thank you.

[@Samahra01]

I live less than a mile from this wonderful place! Next time you come I have some AMAZING spots just outside the city in some ritzy neighborhoods where people donate unbelievable things. I'm addicted to your content...its official!!!! You're the best shopping partner, I'm sure of it!

[@susiesmith9957]

Awesome stores, loved all your buys!. Gumdrops would look great on the wooden tree.

[@michellecostict8387]

Hi Laura, an idea for the toothpick holder could be Christmas decorated cake pops! I think that would be festive and cute🙂

[@bethpitsor5808]

Hi Laura and Mya! I found myself bobbing my head to your back ground music. The weird wood thing was my fav of your finds.

[@arleenrafanan7532]

Absolutely beautiful pitcher and cup set Love the mugs also! The shops there are amazing !!

[@sharonmakowsky172]

It’s almost like going thru a fun house! What a cool place! I love it!👍🥰💜

[@leftcoastrevivals]

That’s sure what it felt like!

[@joanneemerick5785]

What a great trip!! And look at what a significant jump in numbers your subscriptions have made. Congratulations on such wonderful vlogs. Pure delight:) I’m so happy for you and thank you for bringing us perfect utube viewing.

[@tracycrum9829]

If you do a martini bar you could put olives and onions on thee toothpicks. Also you could do cheese and meat next to a veg and dip set up.

[@GLN14659]

Toothpick Christmas tree would look great with olives on it with the green olives w pimento on the tops of each pick.

[@shelley6746]

Pimento Olives on toothpicks would be really pretty because they are green & red! Great finds…I loved those stores in Minneapolis ❤ I absolutely Love the pitcher/cups 😊

[@monicahennessy5648]

That was my first thought also!

[@wenDesigner]

So glad you went! Hunt & Gather is my favorite, it’s kooky & schizoid, and I love it! 😂

[@ritahord3986]

Overwhelming!

[@sonjaholder4930]

Definitely gumdrops if you want candy or you could use fruit like grapes, cherries, strawberries, etc for a healthier option.

[@rhondaborders3452]

Can always make it an unhealthy option with fruit dip 😛😜🤪

[@lindaashmore1246]

MIA WAS LIKE JUMP AND ROLL!! LOL

[@svdahlia9597]

Thank you so much for your very interesting video!!!🌺🌸🌺Love it!!🌷🌸🌷Thank you so much!!🌸🌷🌸

[@marianacaffaro]

As an Argentinian (living in Spain), I can say that the gorgeous wooden vase and glasses' style is not typical of my country. The place they were made in, "Bariloche", is in Patagonia, where thousands of German immigrants went. So I guess that that folk art is more germany/Western European. Patagonia has a lot of Swiss/German style of architecture

[@leftcoastrevivals]

Thank you for this info! That makes so much sense why it would have that European feel to them ❤️

[@mariaroldan4200]

As an Argetine, living in Sun Valley, Idaho, I tell you that 95 percent of people from Argetina come from Europe, and Bariloche, from where the set comes, is very European, look at Ceramica Bariloche and you shall see. It is not typical 100%, but it is not unusual either.

[@cathylbennion1255]

Lol

[@Timetravel1111]

21:00 I loveee the wood picture and cups. I like wood 🪵 elements!

[@lindafaierson6030]

Some really neat stores.Thanks Laura for taking us with you.

[@lindaelia2616]

Love love love the Asian woman statue! And of course those mugs!

[@katejackson6502]

The Italian mugs are incredible!

[@soulshinealwaysresale791]

I never thought for one second that you would not be keeping that pitcher and cup set! So beautiful! Fun scores...and stores!☺️💕

[@memyself9410]

Love the landscape jasper cuff.

[@lisaroberts1729]

New Orleans close by and Baton Rouge

[@lauraatoakstreetexchange]

That face statue 🤩 scoop it up!!

[@lynnmk2384]

All beautiful things you guys got loveeeeeeeee watching yr videos loveeeeeeeee seeing all the beautiful things you get

[@michelleraney3577]

Thank God they decided to go look! Great work guys!

[@clairebeane3455]

I love this haul!! One day while going through a woodpile that a man dropped off for me while I was living on the Oregon coast, I found a large piece of wood that was shaped like an elephant leg and another of that was shaped exactly like the head of a giraffe … long neck and all … they are in storage for now, but I have huge plans for them!!! 💜💜💜

[@notlostjustwandering218]

How amazing that you found the made in MN Belart mirror as a souvenir of your trip to MN!! I just recently thrifted a Belart piece for $4.99 (and I do love it!) but yours is way better 😍

[@bumslayer76]

yep

[@terrischwenk9217]

Tree: mozzarella balls, cherry tomatoes and basil leaves

[@harriettlamar7828]

I love green olives with the pimentos. That would look like Christmas but you would have to love them like I do.

[@kathypadgitt9888]

Green olives with red pimentos on the toothpick tree.

[@KarisParadiseVintage]

I am so happy for you and how your channel has grown. Your subscribers have more than doubled since I joined. Congratulations! Now we've gotta get you over the 100K hump. Good luck!

[@leftcoastrevivals]

Thanks Kari! 🥰 That’s going to be so exciting! Such a YT milestone 🥳

[@lovematters7515]

Gorgeous Argentinian pitcher and cups! And that mirror is perfect in your home Laura. Again, nice finds!

[@lorettavalmorbida7793]

The tree could be decorated with green olives stuffed with pimento . Love the mugs, I also like anything from Italy. My husband is Italian.

[@gorgo1945]

I enjoy going with you and Mia to the different cities and visiting the very interesting vintage shops, and, meeting the owners of these places too! There are so many creative people in the world and its so much fun to see their "collections". Great video today - thank you. xx

[@leftcoastrevivals]

We love that we get to share it with you! It makes the adventure more fun for us knowing you’ll all get to come along 😁

[@j.m.5693]

The Christmas tree is really cool. Maybe lollipops to decorate it? 🤔

[@leftcoastrevivals]

Ohhh now this is brilliant! Just gotta find some that fit 🙌

[@lilo2226]

I’m going the minimalist route ,but that don’t mean I can’t enjoy all those great finds.That was amazing!

[@leftcoastrevivals]

I have my moments when I wish I was 😆

[@janetsmith6716]

I think gumdrops would look so cute on the wooden toothpick tree!

[@pattibrotz3684]

Put green olives with the pimentos in them on the tooth pick tree! Loved your pickin’ trip!

[@melissae.9842]

This is one of my all time favorite thrifting vlogs you have ever done! I used to live in Minneapolis for awhile when I was a child. These stores were the bomb! Thanks, Laura!

[@jenneke9763]

You commented about the clouds! The cloud shapes you see in Manitoba, ND,SD and Minnesota are so different from elsewhere!

[@goodpeople5676]

Really awesome findings. Enjoy. Here in North East India 🇮🇳 we have the bamboo jug , glass, cups, mugs with the similar designs of the Argentina 🇦🇷 With love from SAM Guwahati, Assam, India 🇮🇳 ♥

[@susansparanormalpennsylvan81]

my california raised nephew got a job there after college, but only stayed 1 winter__LOL__my parents retired early and rented a corner in an antique co - op, every october they took a 1 month autumn colors buying road trip in their station wagon and said midwest was the best to pick

[@janinedevilliers510]

Beautiful shops, people, pets and finds. I would use the wooden toothpick holder for a party with cheese and gerkins, etc, stuck into the holder. You could also use it to display solid bangles on it to photograph. The cuffs might be top heavy, the weight of the heavy stones might make the cuff lay down at an angle. Great fun, glad you both had a good adventure. The air B&B looked lovely 💕

[@RobynMcClendon]

Maybe some miniature cake pops rolled in an assortment of sprinkles to emulate vintage christmas bulbs for your toothpick tree! Love this series Thx!

[@michele1491]

Love the mirror.

[@karin4472]

Great finds. Love the Italian cups. They are worth every penny. I wouldn't part with the pitcher and cups either. With some items I always say, find another one. I have regretted selling a few things, I have never seen again. With the cool toothpick holder. You could put mini cocktail pickled onions on them. They come in red, green & white ones. Would look like Christmas baubles on the 🌲 tree 💓

[@jaznz53]

Have permento olives at the end of the toothpicks they will look like Christmas baubles.

[@bethbenditt9489]

Another great video!!! That mirror looks fabulous in your entry way! Got on your site yesterday and I absolutely LOVE the 1940's Zuni Needle Point Sterling set; it's beautiful!!! Lived in AZ for a while and love the style.

[@kittyglitter8186]

For the toothpick tree; do a mini Caprese salad. Cherry tomato, mozzarella mini balls, basil. Repeat twice depending on the length of your toothpicks!

[@deidragraham3924]

Red and Green Gumdrops!😊

[@d.frisco7283]

Love all your choices today. Great treasure hunting!

[@sarahcarotabrand8943]

Ha ha Lola wasn’t haven’t it at first! The music you used in hunt and gather reminded me of circus music which felt right for that store! Love the butterfly earring holder and the brass geisha face! Fun trip!

[@319roxanne]

What perfect stores for you!

[@georgiecampbell5949]

Christmas colored gumdrops would be so cute on your toothpick tree Laura.

[@bethbenditt9489]

Pimento stuffed olives would make the toothpick holder look like a Christmas tree!

[@dianekelly6404]

Red and Green Gum Drops for the Toothpick Tree

[@janemahan2663]

I really like the simple, chunky, wooden shelves you put in that alcove. They display your finds so perfectly.

[@patriciaphillips6925]

I'll be in Minneapolis in a couple of weeks. I'll check out some of those stores you mentioned. I loved Minnesota our next door neighbor. Great video.

[@maryjoymath3545]

Great finds, great show! I am just speechless with your finds! Have watched 6 of your shows. Just found u. Sorry, still amazed and speechless!💕💕🦋🦋💕💕

[@amytarbel4254]

Amazing!!!

[@chattykathie7129]

I’ve learned so much from you about MCM since I started watching you. Tonight I found a Lane brutalist armoire for $300.

[@kathybumgarner5169]

Laura, I think dum-dum candy would be so colorful on picks for your Christmas party!

[@oldladylovesBruno]

I love those shops! My favorite things you got are the Italian mugs and the set of wooden cups and pitcher. Beautiful!

[@aleksandravujasin7034]

Love love love your finds! I am so thankful to discover your chanel. I love vintage stuff! ❤️

[@aklimab1235]

I LOVE your vintage shopping 😍 literally wait for you to upload!! Thank you from 🇬🇧

[@mbweis1012]

You and Jesse should just have a perpetual tic tac toe game going and every time you walk by make your move. Great finds!!

[@leftcoastrevivals]

I lovvve this idea! 😆

[@margaretroberts3435]

Hunt and Gather gave me anxiety, it just looked so cluttered and claustrophobic. But I loved the second shop. That blue and green lamp made me drool! I was shouting buy it, buy it!

[@desertfairychickres4021]

You and me both! The first was overwhelming...entirely too much too close. The second store was like a breath of fresh air in comparison. Blessings

[@dashmoto8252]

For the toothpick tree : Red Peppadew Peppers stuffed with ricotta, whipped feta or goat cheese or the tinier Red Sweety Drop Peppers with a bit of parsley or basil leaf or a mix of both of these would be pretty.

[@heidi.a.thomson]

Great finds and wonderful stores!!

[@jeannepreuss9326]

Basil, marinated ball mozzarella, Cherry tomatoes for the Christmas tree

[@arlenekeith6235]

Hunt and Gather was a quirky place. I could spend an entire day in there ! Great finds in Minneapolis ❤️

[@LisaSchwartzITSM]

The wooden Christmas tree would look so fun with green and red gumdrops, which the SibKids (= Siblings Kids) will love while they play TTD with Jessie 🎉

[@vintagenurse431]

Fun shop, thanks for sharing ❤

[@ellenrawls7557]

Finally saw my first Penguin Bucket; I had to laugh. I loved the blue and green lamp. I cant believe you passed on it. It had Laura written all over it.

[@maddynavarro77]

Oh my, my what a fun adventure. 😊 Always a treat shopping with you two. Until next time! 🤟🏼 ❤️Maddy

[@cassandrahoward8325]

Try cutting off the tips of red pepper stuffed olives for your tree!! I love your placement of the mirror!!!

[@sjerzgrl]

Love your finds and thrifting! Looking forward to your next one.

[@lindaashmore1246]

It is like a WONDERLAND!!
