I once picked up a cigar box of vintage costume jewelry at Canton for $5. Amongst the pieces was what seemed to me a nice solitaire diamond ring. Real? I took it to a jeweler to confirm my suspicions. It turned out to be a 3 1/4 carat diamond. Need I say it was fabulous? My son had it reset for his bride when he married.

[@vintageuprisingtx]

Wow that’s a cool find!

[@linaleblanc8288]

Dang, that's awesome ❤

[@TexasBurningFlower]

Great story!

[@malcolmbenjamin28]

Damn!!!

[@carolthomas5187]

Wow what luck.

[@wendydunn3964]

I bought those brass elephant earrings! It’s funny that you bought them in Texas, took them back to Oregon, and then shipped them to me - back in Texas. Meant to be!

[@leftcoastrevivals]

Oh how funny!!! They are so cute! Little world travelers 😂 Thank you for supporting my dream/shop ❤️

[@moniquepouliot4278]

I live 30 minutes from Canton and look at that gold squash blossom necklace every time I go, which is pretty much every month. The gentleman even let me try it on once. My dream to own that piece.

[@emilydehart3253]

I grew up in east Texas and always going to first Monday trades days. When I got married that’s where my family took me for cast iron and kitchen stuff. 12 years later and those items are still used in my kitchen daily. I came across this video by chance and it makes me miss home so much! Currently in Arizona. Definitely loving this video!

[@margaretbedwell3211]

Do we ever forget living in Texas? I know I don't, but at some point in time I knew I could not go back, it is no longer the same area I knew....times change. But I will say, Texas will always live in my heart.

[@mal1465]

Have you been to Quartzsite, AZ in January? I live here in AZ too

[@musictib2735]

I’m Romanian. I liked the book you found about Romanian folk art. A lot of the weaving art carpets /tapestry was hung on walls to keep a room warm and for decorations too. Since homes were heated by a terracotta wood heaters. My mom still has vintage weaved tapestry (the colors are still bright and vibrant) hanging in her bedroom. And she lives here in the USA.

[@sweatherston5599]

Romanian textiles are so lovely, I have been to Romania three times and loved it. Hope all stays safe right now.

Dark purple glass is Amethyst glass. The old lighter purple glass may be Sun Glass, which started out as clear glass, but the sun "damaged" the glass changing it a lavender color. Purple is usually the most collectable out of colored glass (just based on color) other than uranium glass. There are a lot of reproductions out there.

[@bobbyneal8913]

TM - Alicia, you know your glass! My Dad was very active one the Dallas bottle club. In the 70s we went to Canton alot. Great memories of my Dad!

[@aliciagallagher2041]

@Rebecca Davis Dark purple glass is usually not usually old glass. The best way you can tell old glass from newer is if the glass has a seam. The more pronounced the seam, the newer the glass probably is. With blown glass it's a little harder to tell new from old, but if it's a bottle you can usually tell just based on the imperfections or the neck of the bottle.

[@mkkp1308]

What a flea market! And I honestly had no idea my Peter Gabriel vinyl was so valuable at this point!

[@afafberkane3051]

I'm obsessed with XO Maccenna she's a wonderful girl so creative love her ❤️❤️

[@laraemitchell9064]

That was a black swallow tail butterfly. They are the state butterfly of Oklahoma, and we’ve raised a few of them when we saw one laying eggs on our parsley.

[@farrahupson]

Yes! I raise them each year in San Antonio, as the momma butterflies always find my dill and parsley. The caterpillars are beautiful, too and love to pupate in grapevine.

[@barbaramarcis1908]

I once bought an antique piano stool at the Canton sale. I put it in the trunk of my car and when I got home the stool was in pieces, the round seat was the only part that was intact.

[@hafdissigurdardottir3176]

[@joannemusick5622]

Delighted you enjoyed our state; come again! I’m a Senior Citizen and have been going to Canton since I was a child. My grandma and I would drive over on First Monday to get baby chicks for the farm. In those early days, it was just an open field with folks selling whatever out of the back of their farm trucks. Now, it’s almost overwhelming.

[@sailormoon2937]

How's the economy out there?

[@lindawhite5928]

omgosh thank you for sharing that, so sweet to hear

[@heatherr1473]

Great flea market Laura. We don't have anything like that in Australia. Having lived in Japan for 17 years I immediately identified the owls as Japanese and was pleased you recognised their quality and bought them.

[@sirkat7516]

That "spinner" lol, was a necktie holder. :-) I want to go to that flea market so baaad. What an amazing jewelry haul. Keep having fun!!

[@marleangreene6117]

We also have the 80 mile yard sale every year here in Texas & you can get some really good stuff at great prices , it starts in waxahachie tx goes for miles and miles all along the side of 1 road people are set up having sales in there yards , when you come to Texas again be sure to go to waxahachie tx its about 30 minutes south of Dallas tx its package with antique , resale , thrift shops on every corner of down town by the old court house

[@evie7845]

I absolutely love Waxahachie!!! Plus every year there’s the Texas Country Reporter event!!!

[@vintageuprisingtx]

When is that? I want to do that to! I’m in Tx and we love traveling all over to thrift.

This is the best channel so far, you are my kindred spirit in thrifting. I love what you do and having a husband / partner sharing your likes just tops it off! Thanks, I've learned so much and given away so much of what you collect from my Mom and Grandmother. I love the memories it all brings too!

[@sallyreames7698]

I had that woven purse in the late 70’s, my mom lined it in a Thai batik for me. Loved it.

[@troyyarbrough]

I always take for granted how lucky I am to live less than an hour from Canton, Tx. My wife and I go at least 6 times a year.

[@abbiebryan5756]

I’m a vendor at Canton! The vendors with the big yellow school bus are our vendor neighbors now. Too bad we started being vendors just after you visited. I’m glad you loved it, it is such a great experience!

[@leftcoastrevivals]

So awesome! We'll just have to come back for another visit 😉

[@maryschultze624]

Is this held the weekend after the first Monday or before the first Monday of every month?

[@ioanasandulescu5646]

Your videos are just so relaxing and interesting! You have an awesome personality - you are a joy to watch - I think I ve binged like 15 of your videos since yesterday when I discovered them. I am from Romania and it was awesome to see the book you found.

[@lelarex888]

YES!!! I worked in a gold jewelry store in a flea market in the late 90s when gold was affordable and when a new store opened up, other owners would complain but the store owners I worked for would be happy. When I asked why, they said, we have great price per gram and the more stores here, the better because it will bring more customers and even if we have to drop our prices for gold per gram, we'll have more people shopping here to sell to and make more money in the end even if we make less profit per sale.

[@karennance3719]

Welcome to Texas, I was born and raised in Texas and I love it❤️

[@nicklittlefield389]

I can't get past the haunting face right in the middle of the $100 wardrobe at 36:11 !!! FREAKY !!!!

[@TNT27767]

Try the flea market in Webster Florida if you get the chance. It’s open one day a week and is huge. It takes all day just to see one side! Just a suggestion.

[@gigdrama9299]

I’m so glad I found this! I moved from Texas to North Carolina five years ago and I miss Canton so much!

[@kellymorton544]

The purple glass could be magnesium glass. The longer the sunlight hits it the more purple it gets. They weren't kidding when they say everything in Texas is bigger. Those bumble bees look huge! Lol!

[@dorothyrobdau7365]

I can't believe you guys flew down there to shop for only one day. That made it more of a work day, but Laura you found some nice jewelry, and Jess found his record. Thanks for the video

[@Grace2010H]

Please get some larger size rings for your shop. 🥰🥰🥰

[@leftcoastrevivals]

I try! Always looking but they’re harder to find. Just picked up a beautiful one today in Southern California that will be coming to the March 4th sale 😄

[@katiebrown7617]

That floral round needlework is absolutely stunning!!!! Love the green woven basket too and for $10 that’s a great price. The wooden owl 🦉 & black owl statues are all so cute ☺️ I love owls!

[@bestbargainfashion5575]

I live about 4hrs from Canton but have been there and LUV Dog Alley. It's a weeks worth of walking at First Monday. Glad you had so much fun and found so much!!! :)

[@timmymendenhall1275]

My grandparents started taking me there 45 years ago. It's always awesome & there are cute cottages & cabins to rent around Canton because you can't see it all even in 2 days.

[@evequinterosvargas3296]

I'm gonna be broke before I get through the first building! Girl, I know the feeling! Loved your finds! Planning a future trip!

As a little girl I went to Canton with my grandmother and mother … I remember the sand was so hot that it burned my feet … though my Keds tennis shoes. My grandmother made a mad hatter’s hat out of a big brown grocery bag. 😝

[@maryeliason1504]

I've had a poster of the lady with lilies since the 80s. The lady rumored to be Frieda. Also have one painted on tin from Mexico. I have that Peter Gabriel album. Really good. You could fill your shop & sell it all! That weaving book!

This used to be called the Dog Sale many years ago. It's where people from all over the area would bring their hunting dogs to sell. Our family still calls it the Dog Sale.

Great finds Laura, I just love this huge Texas antiques market - absolute gem! I love lots of items you are buying , my favourite so far are the brass deer, a wonderful round hand made cloth and the silver rings of course ... Beautiful. Peter Gabriel's album - what a treat too! Cannot wait for the next episode !

[@cherylsummers3413]

Laura I enjoyed watching you and your husband shop. You picked some really great pieces. But the hi light for me was seeing that wardrobe for $100 dollars. I have not seen one of those since I was a young girl. My grandmother had one and me and my sister use to play hide and go seek. That was awesome. Thanks for the memories. It’s been 55 years since I remembered that

That knife block triggered a memory for me from when I was little. We had that same one only ours was painted with a rooster on the round shield area. It had a companion piece of a hamburger patty press, also painted with roosters and hung on the wall. (The memory is from the 50’s, but they may have been older than that)

[@cindisartors117]

I live in small town Overton Tx, abt an hour and half from Canton and I saw more on this video than I ever have going. I catch myself going thru the covered buildings and by the time I get to the outdoors, I'm tired and way too hot. Seems spring and fall bring lots of rainy first Mondays. Thank you for a fun look at Canton.

[@rhondaberry9651]

Hi, I live in East Tyler not far from Overton & like you I just get worn out in Overton, but I love to go. My boyfriends sister had a spot in the Pavilion, so we went several times last year to help her pack things up after the weekend. I did more shopping & looking around than helping. Canton really is fun but I don’t think I’ve ever gone thru all of it.

California most of my life and saw the most 1950’s - 1970 decor in Long Beach, Laguna Beach and Palm Springs. The garage sales are wonderful. Hollywood Bowl flea Market and Long Beach are the best for mid-century. I live near Round Top, TX and hardly ever see any mid century there. Best of luck to you. Been watching you for several years and love your style! ♥️

[@kellymc67]

That's a great record Jesse. I grew up in Texas, but it was before all the huge flea markets were down there. In the early 80s, we would go to Round Top, because my stepfather would participate in their chili cook off. It was before the the flea market got so huge. Love watching you shop. Thanks.

Laura, I just saw your video on Utube of the Canton trip. I live in Texas and only 1hr. away from there. We love going and one time was in a Tornado Warning and had to take shelter there in one of the Pavillions they have designated for these storms. It was heading straight toward us but turned right before it got to the Flea Market and hit the ground on I-20. On your next trip to Texas you need to put another town on your list. It's east of Canton and around an hour. And that's Gladewater, the whole downtown is anything but antique store's. At least it was before this inflation!! Gladewater Attractions We love to visit Gladewater, just a quick drive north of Tyler on U.S. Highway 271, and only 13 miles west of Longview on U.S. 80. It's a great place for exploring East Texas history, and is known for its large number of antique stores, antique malls, and festivals.

Had booths and made some good buys to resell. You will go back, It’s great fun to shop and look. Used a grocery cart to drag around with us. Drank a lot of the lemonade. Had an RV parked right on the grounds so could go back and rest and run our air conditioner. Thanks for your sharing your trip.
