Thrift Haul Fall Vintage

[@kellyarmitage6485]

Laci, I could not believe it when you held up the Paper Doll Wedding, Little Golden Book. I was born in 1972 and had this book. It was one of my favourites when I was 3-5yrs old. I loved the dresses that the girls wore in the story. I’m fairly new to your channel and videos. I just started watching in the last month. You keep me company while I am sewing quilts to preserve my sanity during COVID. Love your vintage. Keep being you, and thank you for keeping me company.

[@mrmotormo]

The kitty's ball changes color with the weather. I saw them when I was a girl, so it may be from the 60s. You find the best stuff! Congratulations and thank you for sharing.

[@LaciFayTheVintageGirlNextDoor]

Oh! Haha thank you! I haven’t seen it do anything yet. Hopefully it still works!

[@pgrrat60]

I think we put them in a window. We had one where the ears changed colors.

[@margaretglass2329]

I think the kitty statue is made from a salt that reacts to moisture in the air.

I have a few vintage “weather” postcards that have a fuzzy part of the picture treated with a chemical that changes color with moisture. Over time the chemical can lose its power, but sometimes they still work!

[@maryl5567]

I really like listening to your videos.. I am a senior citizen and your sweet soul comes across on your videos.. I bet your mom has a lot of fun hanging out together and doing all the thrift store trips 😊

[@mcfloater1171]

I had that Mary Poppins album when I was a child ! My sister and I played it over and over and read the book that went with it ! Such a great memory !!

[@kaybeepal]

That teal floral dress is smashing on you! You have an incredible eye for clothes shopping !!

[@fazergazer]

That green velvet dress is stunning! Pretty sure it’s bespoke to to the detailing… which makes it even more special!

[@lewisnapton8399]

I just keep watching your old videos because I love them. You are simply the best!

[@dindranew.6808]

I had a dream the other night where you gave me your wardrobe. I woke up sad, but then I realize that every time you make one of these videos, you really DO give us all your wardrobe!

[@anamae03]

I love the Holiday dresses, especially the white/gold dress! And I love the spring flower dress! And all the non-clothing items too! :)

[@mistievapour888]

Oh the Kitty weather changer... I had them when I was a kid... the sparkly stuff that looks white, changes colours to the weather out side.... Mine only did 3 colours Pink for {I cant remember } cloudy blue for sunny green for rain , something like that. eventually they do stop working ... But how wonderful that you found one...

[@CatBATd4rklycu73]

Every time you do a thrift haul all that keeps playing in my head is "Where does she even LIVE?!?!?" Thrift and antique stores literally pepper the downtown area of my town. They're all beyond over-priced, and contain about 85% antique farm equipment. Like are you just an actual goddess as well as being a Disney Princess, or do you live in Thrift Mecca?

[@theasmrlibrarian6598]

I was just thinking the same thing!!! Here in Colorado Springs, that one kitty would be over $50! I’m so jealous of her thrift store options!!!

[@karenhawkins1275]

Oh my gosh! That green dress...swooning! And you look amazing in it!❤

[@barbaracatamaran5710]

Absolutely love the emerald green dress!!!!!

[@gollyrebel5547]

You're so good at doing the 50s style modeling, that green dress might be my favorite 💐

[@gigi7778]

I love how you find the very best things!!! You look so beautiful in all of them, thank you for sharing.

[@motnosniv]

My uncle had a portable stereo turntable with removable speakers. I remember seeing it way back in the 60s I think. He passed in 2012 so now I have it. It works good but I sold all my LPs a few years ago.

[@jenniferkavaloski6412]

We don’t have DI here in MN. We have Goodwill and a few other random thrift stores. Goodwill charges a premium for their items, I honestly don’t think they ever put out vintage dresses, and they are inflexible with discounting stained items. I love everything you found, so beautiful! The dresses are amazing.

[@LaciFayTheVintageGirlNextDoor]

Ah that’s too bad!

[@xTashleyx]

I worked at the Minnetonka Goodwill and anything remotely dirty that couldn't be cleaned in about 50 seconds was trashed. They are a pretty terrible company nowadays.

[@katiethomas5889]

I love the first outfit, as well as the yellow and the blue blouses. Such pretty colors!

[@catspjs6229]

That green and the gold dress looked amazing on you! 💛💚 you should do a video on the vintage clothes you make.

[@mistievapour888]

Oh my gosh , what a trip down my memory lane, i had those ornaments with the 3 baby’s changed to the mummy.

[@lynnjames5039]

I love your brooch, I have collected vintage brooches for years, the more rhinestones the better!

[@annagustavsson9969]

Excellent finds!!! That 80s dress already have 40s vibes, I would consider keeping the shoulder pads. 😊👍

[@loriplate4241]

Gold accessories with the green velvet would be stunning. Can you tell, a I am binging you today!

[@MalloryHolley]

Wow! So many wonderful treasures. I always love watching your vintage hauls. You are the vintage shopping queen! I can’t believe how cheap those beautiful treasures were! That 8os sweater is amazing too! I love it! XX

[@laurielaurie8280]

You got a great deal on the big orange swung vase. Its beautiful!

[@darlalittieral353]

I'm new to your channel & I'm hooked. I'm a mid century baby '64 & so many of the things bring back memories. The Mary Poppins ready along book & record really took me back. My parents enrolled me in the Disney club & I'd receive a new album every month my favorite was the Aristocats. Please keep the videos & hauls coming.

[@anitamatysik6731]

I loved the kitties and poodle! The red vase was awesome!

[@BK-carchic]

wherever you live, you have so many great vintage finds....where I live everything is picked clean. It's so hard to find stuff before the dealers get at it.

[@hijadeitsmombyjudymarchant9475]

Those pictures of you in the mustard sweater are gorgeous!

[@lucylouise8718]

I love the mint green sweater with the white collar!

[@pigoff123]

I had some of those weather knick knacks. They used to change color with the weather but the coating came off over the years.

[@BadHairdayKimmie]

I had the Mary Poppins record when I was a kid. Nostalgia!

[@tempestates13]

I've got Alice in Wonderland and Lady & the Tramp.

[@pamelaolivarez30]

That vase is an LE Smith Simplicity Vase in a pineapple cut. The color is FLAME. It's worth over $60! Great find!

[@LaciFayTheVintageGirlNextDoor]

Oh nice! Thank you!

[@pamelaolivarez30]

You're most welcome! I'm a huge collector! The blue ones are made by Viking. The big one is Epic Column and the smaller one is Epic Drape. Your Amber bud vase is also Viking, however the Hobnail one was made by Fenton. They are Swung vases. Stretch glass has very fine stretch lines. Swung vases were put in a mold, then removed and swung back and forth by the artist so no two pieces are the same. ❤❤

[@tariblevins955]

Darling poodle, great catch.💜💜💜💜Absolutely couldn't leave the red glass, wow!

[@LinniePenny]

The shoulder pads give that blue dress the 40’s look, love it.❤️

[@katiexcakes]

I know this video is a year old, but every time i watch your videos i am like... ooohhhhhhh, my grandmother is a historian, and she has roleplayed at Museum for years, from 1800s to 1950, and her house burned down a few years ago. There was so many patterns, she had historical hats and many outfits. I love seeing the simplicity patterns .. im crying

[@tdhawk167]

Oh my gosh... each one is a gem... then another and another...on and on and on! All so gorgeous!

[@tdhawk167]

And the mens western shirt...score!

[@tdhawk167]

AND the shoes! Ahhh!

[@tdhawk167]

😊

[@domn415]

The last comment is correct. It is a Barometer Kitty, The ball is treated with something that changes color depending on the weather.. They came in various figures/animals etc. My Mon used to buy them for us as kids in the early 60s at F W Woolworth and S S Kresge . Great find!

[@sabrina9333]

Oh the blue 80's dress! I think it's more 40s love it. 💖

[@maureenfrost6796]

I had that dress in royal blue! I found the shoes to match. The teal dress with the matching belt.

[@jennymilner4659]

Laci I totally got a soap dispenser just like that for $.75! I also love my old records. I get them out and play them especially at Christmas time.

[@June51212]

Ohhh, love the yellow. I have a yellow baret! You look adorable. I have every color beret..... I’m going to pull them all out and match. I think I even have the yellow long gloves. Thanks for all the ideas. I just love your style!

[@MonCherry13]

Ahhh! Great deal on the pumpkin blow mold!

[@debbiesapp8028]

Great haul. Binge watching your videos all afternoon. Lol 🙂 The blue 80s dress would look more 50s with a white belt and cute brooch.

[@terrythomas830]

You can use the iron on more than once. Also you can use carbon paper and a little tool to make lines on your material once it runs out of transfer ink. Yes more thrift please

[@dawnegan3984]

All of thoes dresses you tried on looked amazing ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@strawberrydemise8536]

Laci that green satin dress! 😍 oh my goodness! Droooool! 😍

[@LaciFayTheVintageGirlNextDoor]

Right?! I love it! Now I need a holiday party to wear it to!

[@kayo5291]

@@LaciFayTheVintageGirlNextDoor When you posed in it you looked just like a picture I've seen of my grandmother looking foxy in the 40's. I hope you had a chance to fix the seams. It is gorgeous.

[@chlariepeace6810]

The green dress horrible

[@davidjones7433]

I’m glad you bought that beautiful vase. I remember seeing a Murano Glass Fish sculpture from the late 50s early 60s for 50.00 at a thrift store; and thought it was way to expensive. To this day I think about it from time to time and regret not buying it.

[@MsJabennett]

That Lazy Bones dress is an Aussie brand!! Normally SO expensive! When I found you I thought of their dresses straight away! So glad you found this!

[@LaciFayTheVintageGirlNextDoor]

Oh awesome!

[@k.s.k.7721]

Re: the iron on embroidery patterns. Their usability depends on how old they are. The ink will deteriorate over time, and I have some from the 50's which no longer are usable. Generally speaking, in good condition you can often get 2-3 uses from each. Don't overlook the newer embroidery pattern companies that make "atomic" or "retro kitty" embroidery designs. There are also books of simple embroidery patterns which can be traced with an iron-on pen onto tracing paper and have a very vintage vibe.

[@maryrose6899]

How funny! The paper doll wedding book has my name in it! Mary Beth. A name I don’t hear very often 😁. So awesome!

[@jennymilner4659]

Laci, I have the whole set of Disney albums that include Mary Poppins! I would spend hours listening to them as a child.

[@sharon4364]

I think I have, or had, the Mary Poppins record as a child!

[@ammiemgk23]

Love all the items you got, especially the grey vintage cat with the sparkly blue eyes!!! I also love cats; any thing cat related I must have! 🐈 And I love how your kitties just randomly pop up! Too cute! Thanks for sharing your lovely hauls; makes me want to go thrift store shopping so bad!!! I also have a collection of modern vinyl and I'm saving up to buy a good but not too expensive record player. But I do have 2 vintage vinyls that were gifted/record store bought though.

[@LaciFayTheVintageGirlNextDoor]

Thank you!! Oh yes! I must get all the kitty things!! 😊 hopefully you can go thrifting and find some treasures soon.

[@Kate42]

I enjoyed this video so much. I have never seen such a large glass piece like that before. I truly believe that you got a great deal on it.

[@LaciFayTheVintageGirlNextDoor]

I’m so glad you enjoyed!! Me either! I’m glad I grabbed it.

[@oldskoolgypsy9204]

I love the beautiful bright colors in styles of vintage wear. Does anyone remember the 80s black stretch pants that had the hook part that went around your foot lol good times awesome video huge fan 💐🤗🏆🙂

Yes "stirrup pants", had quite a few pairs lol

[@Cuddlesandcookies]

The blue swung glass you have I believe is Viking and the red swung glass is by l.e Smith I believe the color is called amberina persimmon because of the yellow around the edges.

Whoa! You find amazing stuff! I'm crazy about the green dress and the blow mold. Great finds. I love your reprint patterns too. I like that they offer more sizes, and are less fragile than originals. I wish you luck finding a record player. I see them fairly regularly on Facebook marketplace.

[@StellaMariaGiulia]

To be honest I'd probably be okay wearing that green velvet dress for the rest of my life 😂😍 Eep! The Halloween jack o'lantern light is the cutest! Re:the cat figurine, I guess the ball of yarn probably used to change colour; I had one similar as a child, I remember those kind of souvenirs still being around in the late 80s/90s, as you said they changed to blue for good weather and purple for rain, i.e. mine was perpetually purple because my seaside town is always humid! Hope you had a lovely thanksgiving! x

[@LaciFayTheVintageGirlNextDoor]

I mean I guess if I had to wear one dress for the rest of my life, that wouldn’t be a bad one. 😂 Thanks! I loved having that on my porch for Halloween! That’s fun about the kitty. I’m going to have to keep a closer eye on it! I haven’t noticed anything so far and we had a big snow storm today. Happy thanksgiving!!

[@sc0ttishlass]

The little kitty is a barometer. Way back in the 1970s, I do remember that we had a poodle figurine of the same ceramic-y material and the crystalline powder on the legs (of the poodle) changed colours when the weather changed. I guess the yarn ball will change colour on your kitten. Nice thrift haul!!!! And poor hubby ;-)

[@LaciFayTheVintageGirlNextDoor]

I was wondering what would change color! Maybe it will still work. Oh the poodle sounds super cute! Thank you! Haha yeah. Hopefully we can find more menswear next time!
