Antique Store Treasures // Shop with Me!!

[@DeBorahJones-o7z]

The plates are an inspiration from Charles Dickens book “The Old Curiosity Shop” I own the entire set each piece has something from the book. I was fortunate enough to see the Old Curiosity Shop that inspired the book on a visit to England!💚💚💚

[@valorieforzano3372]

Good Morning! You could hand stitch a few fabric tab/loops to the back of the tapestry, slide a rod through those loops then hang it from the rod on the back and not lose any of the image or damage the fabric with glue 😊

[@monical4632]

Came here to say this exact thing. Hand stitching the tab flat cording just below the top and looping the rod that just hides behind the top to help keep it from curling will make it beautiful for a background hanging

[@buttonsacorns3734]

The Old Curiosity shop dinnerware is such a fun set to collect. Each plate has a different item, teapot, mug, etc. You did a wonderful job on the store video. You didn’t go too quickly, were close enough to see items well and prices. Great haul and what a store of treasures.

[@KrystaMeeker]

Aww, thank you!! I agree, it looks like a really fun set to collect!! I noticed all of the different items when I was looking it up! I need to get my hands on the teapot! Will be a fun one to hunt for! 🫖❤️

[@saracarlson-kringle]

You could also hand stitch a 'casing' across the top of the tapestry for a rod...

[@MeganKenny18]

Ahhh please don’t glue the tapestry! You could hand sew a rod sleeve like they do for competition quilts. That way it doesn’t damage the tapestry and you wouldn’t have to use ring clips.

[@LovinOffGrid]

please don't try to control her because it makes you feel better

[@Erica.S19]

​@LovinOffGrid making a suggestion to someone isn't controlling what she does with the tapestry!! Here we practice BE KIND & Do Unto Others! Practice what ya preaching and do try not to control what others comment also! LOL have a great week!

[@Erica.S19]

Great idea. I shared sorta the same thing so she keeps it all showing! Awesome find! Great minds think alike!! Have a super week! ❤

[@melolore1280]

Yes this is what I’ve always done as well

[@joananderson7976]

Hi Krista, The Old Curiosity Shop is a novel written by one of your favorites, Charles Dickens. The design was made by The Royal China Company in Sebring Ohio. 😊

[@KrystaMeeker]

I have the book!! Had no idea the china was made in relation to it, how cool! Thanks for sharing! ❤️

[@joananderson7976]

@@KrystaMeeker I knew you would love that. You're very welcome!

[@queenb9070]

How awesome ❤

[@officeadministrator9316]

They also made the blue Currier & Ives dishes that look similar.

[@colleenmartin9467]

Your little plant pot logo says it is made by Wakefield. You can purchase them in many sizes. They have a website but you can also buy them many other places if you want more of them.

[@lynneallison1296]

I have collected Old Curiosity Shop for many years. It is by Royal China. I love the story the plates tell, with images from an antique shop in old London. If you’re interested, there are other Royal collections that look similar and are often confused. The way to tell is, Old Curiosity has hinges around the outside edge of the pieces. Other collections have ox yokes or other images. I’m glad to see someone else loves these plates! I’ve really enjoyed this post. There’s some gorgeous items there for spring!

[@theresaglass1831]

The tapestry make a sleeve on the back so you don’t have to fold it over. 👍

[@Keep__moving__forward]

I found a antique medicine cabinet yesterday. I went back and forth about buying it. It was 35 and I didn’t wanna spend the money even though that was a very very low price. I decided I couldn’t live without it and I’m so glad I bought it. It’s truly stunning and something I’d never come across again.

[@EmmaAbigail-p5w]

I collect The Old Curiosity Shop. I love the green. It’s great for spring, Christmas, and everyday use.

[@laurawatkins9399]

That is such a genius idea to use the silverplated serving piece as a book holder! I'll be on the lookout for them now. Loved all your finds.

[@nancymarx3512]

Love the tapestry! You could staple a strip of wood trim across the top back of the tapestry and mount some hanging device on that. You don't want to lose an inch of that beautiful tapestry. Those colors are perfect for you! The Old Curiosity Shop are so pretty...love the green as well. I'm sure you will find these and I see that pattern has different images on each of the pieces. So much fun!

[@sherryhudson9075]

The Wakefield pot is expensive !

[@pattyruth14]

My suggestion would be to attach a sleeve to the back of your tapestry. Quilters do it when hanging quilts, you can even use safety pins to pin the sleeve to the back and they won’t show on the from it the tapestry.

[@deirdregahansuttle5698]

Checkers board would look great in the centre of your tablescapes too.

[@laurie4275]

"From Mommas Porch". I love it! Somebody came up with a great name for her booth!😊

[@herekittykittykitty475]

For your tapestry - get extra wide ribbon that you can fabric glue or iron on tape to the back to make a rod pocket. Get ribbon wide enough to accommodate the rod. Always look forward to a video from you!

[@KrystaMeeker]

Oh, this is a great idea!! 🙌

[@olieramirez.823]

The green plate is also my favorite 💚💚 The design it's gorgeous ‼️ GOD FIRST GOD BLESS 😇🙏🕊️🇺🇲🇨🇱

[@MarciesWhimsySoaps]

Oh my gosh! I thought that little planter was so expensive but it’s a Westfield Handmade planter and it sells new for about $75! Great find!😊

[@sherryhudson9075]

You find the best things! I saw so many items I wanted ❤. You can hand stitch a piece of wide ribbon on the back of the tapestry to run a rod through for hanging

[@KrystaMeeker]

Thank you Sherry!! Need to work on my sewing skills first. 😅

[@jillbruce3624]

Great finds. Cannot wait to see them styled.

[@hanneloreboyer1525]

I have the entire set of the small green plate you bought. I use them daily. (s&p shakers, gravy boat, cream & sugar, 24 pc set of dishes, 2 large platters, coffe cups & sausers and some bowls). I bought the set from an older lady in our church. I love them dearly!! What she told me was that her local grocery store ran a special that for every $5 you spent in groceries, you could either get a piece free or buy a piece for like 50 cents. I can't remember now. She said it was back in the 1950s when she bought a piece at a time. She had a HUGE set. I bought them all and picked through them to make as complete a set as possible. She used them daily then for holidays only for YEARS. So a lot of them were really in bad shape. So I took a huge box of the ones I didn't keep to Goodwill. I regret that dearly now. 😪

[@KrystaMeeker]

That is so interesting!! Can you imagine getting such beautiful dishes for free with your grocery order?! Haha. I think it will be a fun one to collect, I enjoy the hunt, it will be super exciting when I come upon them! Love that you use yours daily! 💚

[@Erica.S19]

Hey Krista. Wow love the tapestry! Maybe add some small tabs or little rod pocket on the back with the Hem tape that goes on with an iron. Love the plate from The Curiosity Shop. Have you seen the movies based on the Charles Dickens novel? Isn't it so cool that the dishes were inspired by his novel in the 50's? I adore Charles Dickens also!! All your goodies were great finds! You're not alone in your sudden love of green and Checkerboard Harlequin pattern. I have never like the pattern per say as decor but lately... just something grabs me! LOL the footnote about the box proceeds to make ya look bad cracked me up bc I've tried and tried to open a metal box like that and my Daughter opened it 1st try after me having it for a week or so. 😂 I said it's locked baby... she says no it's opened! I was like WTH?! Lol love that perfect curious mug! 😉 hope you have a super rest of your week! Blessings & Friendship, Erica ❤

[@conniehunter9683]

I just spent a fortune at this shop while you were showing us around. Such wonderful items. Thanks as you actually saved me money. Just got my fix with this shopping spree!

[@janiebea100]

I think one of the reasons you grew so much so fast was because a couple of the bigger you tubers mentioned your channel on their video. I found you I think through a YT suggestion and one day watching Pine and Prospect Home mentioned your channel as did She Holds Dearly. Someone I think you’d enjoy is Heart and Home Crew. They just bought a 108 yr old home. Where you love dark and moody, she loves WHITE. But she thrifts almost everything.

[@DeannaMoyers]

I think I would frame the beautiful tapestry......with or without glass.....it's a lovely piece

[@suzismith9681]

The wall hanging you can stitch either a piece of fabric or tape on for the rod to go through or add loops of tape or curtain hook behind hanging and use wood rings on a wooden pole with bracket. I like the loops or ties myself

[@terrizimmerman5297]

Wakefield Pottery is very sought after by the famous potter Peter Wakefield. This pot is specifically part of a series for herbs.

[@superannieoakley4513]

Love collecting items & finding new ways to use them. I found my silver serving tray holder yrs ago & I use it to hold my cookbooks. Perfect in the kitchen!

[@tammyleviner3070]

I love the tapestry, love the design. The double swinging frame is awesome. I already had the silver serving piece and saw this idea somewhere, so i stacked some antique & vintage bibles in it, love it❤ You Had A great haul, love all your pieces! Thanks fit sharing with us😊

[@marymachado3732]

Love the book holder idea.

[@suzannereid5084]

Good morning, Krista. I love your videos and ideas! I think the checkerboard would make an amazing backdrop. Lately, I am decorating with the color green and I really like it. Thank you for your inspiration and for sharing your passion of vintage decor. 🩷

[@green542]

Love all the finds, cant wait to see them all styled

[@brendanelson9635]

Wonderful presentation. Well done. I am so inspired,thanks for all the hard work and professionalism you put into your videos.

[@grisespino5342]

That tapestry!! Everything is special.

[@Tanja1936]

Love your finds my friend!❤

[@dianajemison105]

Instead of gluing the tapestry piece, I would use some velvet or satin ribbon, to sew a 3 to 5 loops at the top, top put a rod through, so you hang it. It would be very simple. I love the design on the little transferware plate! I've seen books displayed in chafing dish holders, like that, before. I think it's a great idea.😊

[@BeyondClaire]

Wonderful video! I love taking objects and using them not for their original purpose but a nice way to display ie: your silver tray for holding books. I once used an antique trunk with broken strap handle and no lining to store bags of chips and snacks. It was our snack trunk😊

[@Paramountantiquemall]

Thank you so much for featuring Paramount Antique Mall in your video!! We really appreciate it!

[@KrystaMeeker]

Of course!! Love your shops and am always met with kindness during my visits! ☺️

[@lisaw7478]

The mug reminds me of Edgar Allen Poe. Love the finds you got . I have an old checker board that we sometimes play on.

[@deirdregahansuttle5698]

It's St Patrick's Day here today 17th March so I get to use every green ( my fav colour) plate, ornament, candle etc in my decor and tablescape - before I even get into Spring. So LOVE all your green decor. IRELAND

[@karenhanley3912]

Great video 👍 the antique mall was amazing 🤩 love your thrifted decor

[@denisedelgado3350]

Hello. You got a great deal on your pot, it looks like a Wakefield Handmade stamp. A great potter!

[@anniejones2640]

I love your taste in decor! I wonder if some day you would consider adding decor to your Etsy shop? I would love to shop your specific taste!

[@colemansinacottage7701]

That tapestry made me think of Sleepy Hollow vibes, especially with the tricorn hat. Gorgeous, its wear really suits it. I can't wait to see how you display it.

[@jjcallan8339]

Love love love your haul. I also thrifted that same checker board. What you could do with the tapestry is glue a rod pocket with a strip of wide ribbon on the back instead of folding it over.

[@loripowell7654]

Love the green transfer ware too …loved the style on the table scape. What a wonder place to shop! I saw things I couldn’t pass up too! Love all your goodies!

[@michellecrossen3291]

Great finds!! I knew you were going to buy that clock plate, so cute!!

[@deirdregahansuttle5698]

Tapestry would be great behind your drinks cabinet 8f you were having a party as the 3 people look like they are having a drink etc.

[@AnnaBelangerAnnabelle]

Love the clock plate!

[@DavidOwenCreates]

I would sew on similar fabric and make your own section to slip on the rod that way you can have that look you want without rolling over the image of the tapestry - it will look more finished off otherwise I would frame it in a shadow box ❤ great finds thanks for sharing with us

[@DelaniaLaPort-gn1jy]

You can stitch it to the rod- that way the fringe will still show as well but no unsightly rings

[@sara_razzle]

I've been loving green too 💚

[@h0llyisawes0me]

Hi, thanks for the great video! I see that "WFH" Wakefield Home logo from your clay planter often at Homegoods/TJ Maxx. Happy Spring!

[@arlenewatt5225]

Wakefield Pottery...handmade...I believe you got a deal!

[@MicheleLRid]

Killer deal on the pretty books!! And I love the checker board too!

[@judycain8995]

What a wonderful antique store. I would be spending so much money if I were to visit one like that!

[@thewanderingwelshes4732]

Very nice! You have lovely style. 💖Just saw a set of The Old Curiosity Shop dishes, located in Dexter, MO on FB marketplace.

[@leannagray4186]

I love your style and videos! Just wondering if you might do a video on how/where you store all your decor… I have so much decor and it’s a challenge!

[@susanguzzo3643]

I love your videos and just wanted to tell you, you have the most beautiful skin!

[@KrystaMeeker]

That is SO kind of you, thank you, made my day! 🥰

[@andreapaulsen9449]

Krysta, I love your content and had to buy some of those plates. Found plenty on Etsy! Please do a black and white silhouette, one of yourself and the other of your husband facing the center of your dual frame. This would be so personal to your home and a really cool project! Would love to see this.

[@mitzinewlin9466]

Hi there, i happened upon your videos one day, a joy to know you are fairly local to me. I'm down in Ponca City, oklahoma. I have a booth in Paramount West. My booth is where you purchased the dark wicker unique basket from this video, so thank you for that!!! Maybe I'll have the opportunity to run into you one of these days!! Love your style and your videos

[@KrystaMeeker]

Aww, thank you for your kind words! I LOVE your booth, you do a beautiful job with it!! Hope to catch you there sometime!! ❤️

[@alyneorleans5018]

That French wall hanging depicts a Gypsy reading cards for the couple. I don’t think you should roll it because it breaks the border, but you could tack it to a rod or dowel and hang it that way.

[@sherryh2479]

Love your finds! I have a silver holder with a broken leg so I had to lay a book down with the others standing up. The book laying down holds the corner up and it also gave me a place to put a figuring next to the other books standing. It is such a great use of those. Thanks for your video. I too got a checkerboard at the Goodwill bins. I am very excited to see how you use yours. 😊

[@pmcbrideCA]

Your little terra pot is from Wakefield Handmade

[@debrademedici864]

You did really good with your finds !! Love the basket !!! The tapestry was a great find, from France is good!!! Please don’t glue it !!!!!!!

[@marthamleynek2187]

I love the way you do your make up. Can you give us a tutorial?

[@mikayamada8276]

Omg what a great way to start my morning!!! 💗🥹 I loved shopping with you and seeing your haul! THE MUGGGG!!!! It’s soooo quirky and cute I LOVE IT!! Can’t wait to see how you style these items!

[@KrystaMeeker]

Girlfriend, your comments always make me smile! Quirky was TOTALLY the word I was looking for! 😂😂😂

Good morning! Watching this on the treadmill at the gym😊 I'm into green too. It's a beautiful color. Love your videos

[@biancaroy4207]

Your double frame may have been used to hold sheet music open on a piano. 🎶

[@Kaylinsummer]

I love your style & really love your content. I don’t have the attention span to watch a walk through with music. I was wondering if you would ever consider talking through some of the interesting items you find even if you don’t buy it. Maybe it’s history or how you would style something. Even just describing details that you like about something. Most of the time I have youtube on while I am doing something & look up when something sounds interesting.

[@joannevangulick8813]

Hi Krysta, good to see you. Great haul, I have and use some of that green transferware along with red at Christmastime...do not have the beautiful one with the clock--hopefully I will find one.

[@superlibbyanne]

I have a six piece tea cup set of green transfer ware, I wish you lived closer so I could give it to you. It has books and candles on it. Sigh Perfect for you

[@conniehunter9683]

Base some heming, wide, tape and put a rod thru it.

[@anniejones2640]

If i had a tapestry like yours i would see if i liked it framed.

[@cin_x5579]

Obsessed with the mug! Such a great find

[@madacres2222]

You always have such beautiful ribbon, is there a way to hang your tapestry with ribbon?

[@deboramccallum3987]

Oh..Ive been trying to find you for weeks..i couldnt remember name..thx

[@lindathompson9334]

Great shop. I saw so many beautiful things I love. Could you list the app you use to research your items like the green plate on your next video? That would be very helpful. Thanks.

[@KrystaMeeker]

Hi Linda!! I just used Google Lens, if you have Google Chrome on your phone you can just click the camera next to the search bar and search by a photo! ☺️

hehe...i've watched all the goodies, but you have a different taste...tfs

[@AdorkableLiz77]

The rabbit plates would have gone home with me.

[@jade845]

Hi Krysta Please don't glue the Tapestry it is so pretty and I would hate for it to be ruined. Maybe you could frame it instead in a frame that has lost it's glass?

[@saraloftsgaard3105]

You could use safety pins to hold the tapestry onto the rod that way you don’t damage it.

[@Sword_and_Crown]

I thought that too. Or use self adhesive Velcro.

[@mbcnetwork9346]

My neighbor makes portrait quilts. He attaches pockets to the back to run a rod through.

[@laurie4275]

That mug is not an official shaving mug, but it's perfect to put beside an antique shaving brush and straight razor on your husband's side of the bathroom!

[@GinasOrganizedLife]

We live in the same town!! Have you heard Paramount East is closing?

[@KrystaMeeker]

Oh, how funny!! Yeah, I did see that!! So happy it wasn’t one of the others but sad for those booth owners, hopefully they found spots at the other malls.

[@GinasOrganizedLife]

They are having major sales. You should go check it out. I found lots of goodies for so cheap. I would love to chat with you and get some tips on some good thrift/antique shops in the area. I’ve heard you mention some I haven’t heard of. I’m over Goodwill and their prices.

[@tammyracine3184]

Double frame would look awesome with a couple of silhouettes one of the gentlemen and the other of the women.

[@KrystaMeeker]

That’s a great idea!

[@Tinkerbells0005]

What is the name of the music called?

[@kathykephart1810]

Stitch the tapestry to a rod.

[@susanvelez6534]

Sweetheart what a great haul I would put the tapestry on a thin piece of wood on the top of it and use a chain like in your pictures / oh I got my prints can’t wait until fall and next holiday now lol question how did you connect the two frames with the chains in your background I need to do that. I have several paintings that I have to constantly fix 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@susann4944]

Please dont put glue that tapestry. Use tiny clips on a rod.
