[@leftcoastrevivals]

Here are quick links to our favorite travel credit card! bit.ly/creditcardrefer And our top travel must haves I mention in the video 😁 www.amazon.com/shop/lauracaldwell Thanks for hanging out with us in today’s video! Wishing you all a 2025 filled with JOY and Christmas as long as you want it to last 😂😘❤️

[@misslannie73]

I wanted to congratulate Jesse on making Left Coast Revivals his full time career. Go Jesse! Now it’s a dynamic duo xx

[@shelleyplemons1362]

What’s most impressive besides your knowledge of incredible items is that you are an excellent businesswoman!!

[@leftcoastrevivals]

Aw thanks! That means a lot! 😊 I lovvve all aspects of being an entrepreneur!!! ❤️

[@pigoff123]

We were stationed in Germany from 72 to 81 and then my dad retired there and became an army civilian and I did too. I moved stateside in 96. I grew going to German flea markets as a teen in the 70s. I loved it. I collected so many things. It was so much fun.

[@PamelaH_HappyVibes]

My Dad got stationed in Turkey in 72, right after I was born. We lived there for 2 years. I seriously want to visit Turkey so bad as an adult. My cousins are from Germany. My Uncle was Military. He was married to a German woman. One of my German cousins now live in the United States. She is really cool.

[@amyweaver7413]

Wow-you found such amazing items. I’m especially happy you found your bucket list Bitossi horse. Stunning!

[@leftcoastrevivals]

It was a dream come true to find him!! 😍 🐴

[@SingularityHacks-Ephemera]

I am from Slovakia, formerly Czechoslovakia, and Jesses's clocks always make me smile. There are still many train stations in Slovakia where these clocks can be found.

[@taniaevans1196]

The camel is trench art.. the soldiers used to make them whilst waiting in the trenches..I know because I have a piece from my grandfather ❤😊

[@jennfindsvintage]

I really enjoyed Jesse showing and explaining the glass cutting process and the inner clock working history. Also, the packing tips. And of course, all the amazing finds! Great video, as always!

[@denisejones1863]

Jesse working so close to your new horse with his tools fixing he clock sure made me nervous. I love Jesse's laid back personality. He seems like he just goes with the flow and doesn't get bothered by anything. It would be fun to live with such a person.

[@KimWatermeyer]

TIP: PACKING WITH GLASS in frames for shipping - I put wide tape on the glass in a crisscross pattern over the whole sheet. I also make sure that the corners of the piece of art have extra packing (with bubble wrap and carboard corners). I have shipped from South Africa to Scotland and to the USA - no breakages. Even if the glass breaks, the artwork cannot be damaged as the glass remains in one piece, although fractured. Hope this helps next time :) ♥

[@debramm6564]

It is so fun and interesting to watch you two work together. Your husband is so sweet to you. I can tell you both love this and it is awesome that he supports you with your small business. Thanks for the adventures and the fun. You find some very amazing things!

[@amyhansen2417]

Love the smokin snowman❤

[@donna2843]

“ Life is short , so do what you want “….. ❤ Truer words have never been spoken!!!! Love you and Jessie’s zest for life!!!

[@kathymoore1651]

You do such a beautiful job with your presentations! I know it takes alot of time and I want you to know I appreciate your time and talent. I learn so much from your videos and truly enjoy you & Jesse.

[@collettebarker7394]

Jessie was cute when you asked what he did when he got the clock and he said I don't know!!

[@leftcoastrevivals]

It’s one of my favorite clips of him!! 😆 Like a kid who got a tummy ache eating too much candy 😂

[@jglp13]

Made me laugh out loud 😂. HNY from Cairns Australia ❤

[@amandaspence1971]

Hey Laura! I’m signed up for both your trip to Greece AND your trip to Berlin for the Christmas markets! I was so glad to hear that you are including more thrifting destinations in these next trips! I’ve never been to either place so I’m excited to learn about them with you. These videos remind me to save up so I can buy cool stuff! Thanks!

[@leftcoastrevivals]

We are so exited to travel with you!!!

[@Hope-q1s]

Just love the smoking snowman

[@Jmt423]

I have a similar incense burner but he holds a lantern and some type of sword

[@judyrogers9313]

The smokin snowman and house- STINKIN ADORABLE!

[@annocain4536]

Loved your treasures and Jesse did an excellent job explaining how to fix the clock. It will be so perfect in your chosen spot.

[@remmy267]

Good finds Laura! So impressed. Jesse was so funny, but an expert on his clock 😊

[@jonaslilyfan1]

It’s so great to see Jesse involved with your videos. Looks like you had a great time. Love love love his clock!

[@donnahoman4591]

Oh that Lisa Larson bear is so, so cute ❤

[@leftcoastrevivals]

Thank you! One of my most cherished gifts 🥰 🐻‍❄️

[@donnahoman4591]

@leftcoastrevivals I can see why!

[@kathygriffin8775]

Always such a joy to see that you've posted a new video! And this one had it all: a haul, styling, how-to with Jesse and inspiration for the New Year! Thanks Laura!

[@susanhauke8164]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE your videos. You are my favorite cuz you always make me smile. Wonderful finds! Thanks for showing them. Happy New Year to you, Jesse and kitties. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@leftcoastrevivals]

Thank you so much! Happy New Year! 🥳🥳

[@lilirehak5569]

This was such an enjoyable video to see all the treasures you brought back. I wish I was younger and had all that energy! x

[@Speeskauwgeul]

Oh the joy of crisply breaking glass! Nice job, Jesse!

[@pigoff123]

We took school field trips to Neuschwannstein castle, Trier, Heidelberg, France, and England. So much fun. My mother collected hand blown ornaments for all of us growing up. I did the same for my daughter. My mom gave us ours when we moved out and I gave my daughter hers when she moved out.

[@crystalsdance]

I think I know what the small brown lidded pot (creating your set of two vases until you have a collection of 3+ (lol), may be. It is likely made of Olive wood from Jerusalem or elsewhere close in the Holy Land. My mother has one just like it, only a bit larger. It was a cherished gift brought back from someone very special to her. She keeps it next to her chair with a few needles, spools of thread, pins, and scissors for quick sewing mends. It is a lovely piece!

[@mlavoie6202]

Hi Laura and Jesse, My friends and I love, love, love your videos. We have even made a drinking game out of it. Every time you say Potosi, we take a drink. Lol. We also try to guess how many times you'll say it. But all kidding aside, we have learned so much about vintage from you. It has become one of our favorite things to do. I just wanted to thank you for all of the fun and education. If you ever come to Arizona, we would love to show you some of our favorite places. Thanks again, Mary

[@catherinemcneill7045]

Great video, Laura! I remembered your first Friday sale and had dibs on everything today, but had to resist purchasing. Everything was so special, and when I checked several hours later all had sold with only a few exceptions. How wonderful for you and Jesse. So glad his clock made it with only minor damage, and that he could repair it so easily.. I'm glad you're home safe and sound. Thanks for taking us along. Cat

[@joycleckley2881]

You are quite smart to tuck items away in your clothing. As I would do the exact same. This trip looks so magical. What fun!!!

[@karenkuhr5698]

I really like about you and Jesse is the fact that you buy things for your own use and enjoyment, unlike the others that I watch, who only pick with $$$$ in their eyes when they buy items❤

[@SD-sv7oq]

All pickers are collectors as well as selling for profit: that’s the whole point of the business of reselling.

[@iancampbell168]

I LOVE the lazy Susan tray with your salt bowl on it and those striped candle holder/vase situations-so beautiful!😍 Omg the swan wall sconces wow!❤

[@jordanm1438]

Love Jesse's tutorial. It's got me thinking I could do something like that.

[@laurieboughfman5727]

Love to see your home and your collections. Wish you lived in Michigan as I have various clocks that need repair! I have the worst luck with them! I still have Christmas up and usually keep it up until the Epiphany. I have been known to keep my rotating Christmas tree decorated with flamingos all year! Why not?!

[@tinaneal7191]

What a great trip and finds. Love watching you do your thing.

[@leftcoastrevivals]

Thank you!! ❤️

[@leannevisser9897]

Lovely finds! I have been collecting Ruscha animals for over 15 years, but I have never seen that Polar Bear in the wild. It's stunning 😍.

[@Christinatalarico]

I’ve been a vintage picker for decades. Our taste is so similar. We love watching your travels and videos. You’re both very talented. So fun! Cheers to an amazing 2025!

[@ingaburns9465]

Hello! Both my maternal grandparents are Swedish and came to America many years ago. I too have many Scandinavian items that I cherish. Thank you for taking us on your journeys 😊

[@pigoff123]

When I shipped my mother's household goods to the states I packed every piece of furniture full since it went by crate not weight. When I went to Germany I packed a smaller suitcase in a bigger on and only had my purse. Coming home I had one checked suitcase and one carry on an my purse. My granddaughter did the same so we had room to bring things back to the states.

[@julietafoya957]

Yes! I use dirty laundry for packing stuff we buy on trips too! 😂 It's not gross, it's smart. 😊 We always try to buy local art and pottery as souvenirs when we travel. Gotta get it home safely!

[@Riversmom1111]

Amazing haul , so fun !!!!! That horse 😮 . Thank you for your incredible creative , inspiring and fun content . Always a pleasure to watch you and Jesse living your best life possible, couldn’t happen to two more positive, upbeat and hardworking peeps . Hope that all of your wishes and dreams come true in 2025 ! 🥂 Cheers .

[@leftcoastrevivals]

🥹 Thank you so much! We’re so happy to have you a part of the community on here!! ❤️ Happy New Year!!!

[@heatherr1473]

Another great video Laura, thank you. I think the 2 frames are Japanese. I have several Japanese metal items with very similar decoration.

[@leftcoastrevivals]

They are! I don’t know until I found the smaller one because it’s actually stamped 😁 Love them!!

[@dmel4905]

That's what I thought because of the Chrysanthemums! Japanese emperors sat on the Chrysanthemum throne.

[@cherylsoderstrom7391]

Everything is great! So cool. Jesse's probably still working on his clock. You two are very fun to watch.

[@cerisewilson4088]

OMG now I have to find one of the incense burners!

[@susanma4899]

They still produce them. They used to sell them at the store Tuesday Morning, but it went out of business (online only now and don't sell items from Germany or Poland like they used to). If you search "Erzgebirge smoker" you'll get lots of hits.

[@mrsnickson]

I just love the critters and characters you brought home!

[@eleven903]

I thought that the (snowy) castle with you and Jessie was magical. After hearing about what happened at the Christmas market; I am glad that you were not there.

[@Valerygallery]

Happy New Year to you, your family, and your kitties! ❤🎉 Jesse's clock is amazing! And he did such a good job fixing it. You found some gorgeous things. I love that snowman that smokes. That's so cool!

[@marianic194]

Love the items you sourced and used for Christmas decor in your home. So beautiful! Jessie's clock is so cool. Will look incredible in your home. You've inspired me to visit Germany this year. So excited about that. So many markets!! Happy new year!! ❤

[@barnesfamily1128]

So much BEAUTIFUL things, loved it all. Thank you for sharing it with us all

[@MsJet1]

Red lipstick looks great on you.

[@dianastewart6684]

Was watching a show you did six months ago. You bought a wooden bowl with a swirl and two hole cutouts. That was a yarn bowl for knitting or crochet, and the holes are for crochet hooks or knitting needles. I collect them. Love your KZbin programs.😊

[@kyarichards2894]

Lots of fun 1980s to 2000 reproduction and new trinkets in those markets as ever. Still looks great and enjoyable to hunt!

[@gailgoldys8010]

Love where you’re putting the clock

[@heididepotter8136]

So happy for you, Laura You found a bucketlist piece I love the shape of that German pottery piece I love to dig in jewelry too but rarely find natural stone pieces

[@pampete8110]

The teeny-tiny wooden round bowl vase is so cute. My husband used to pick up containers like this for me when his boat would pull into port around Europe, etc. The ones he bought me all had a bit of cream perfume in them. They are so cute.

[@erinnkemp]

Box is out standing😮 Great video Laura❤❤ I love to see when Jesse buys something

[@cherrya3927]

A cuff could snap in each side to make a bracelet 😊on the metal circular piece❤

[@jeanninewelfelt8255]

Loved Jesse's tutorial, especially the tip about the High torque clock movement. Great video.

[@ThereseDavidson]

Tradition here in Sweden is that a hugh christmas goat is put up outside every year in a small town. And almost every year someone sets it on fire the last time it burned was 2021 so it's been a while now !

[@MindlerCamper]

Exakt vad jag också tänkte på, Gälvebocken 😂.

[@leftcoastrevivals]

My dream is to see that in real life someday!!!

[@rosivanwinkle5532]

I brought home a complete coffee service from Germany years ago. It came home iny luggage and yup I used socks and clothing to pack it.

[@tanithmessenger3581]

Glad to see you're feeling better! Look forward to seeing what you can find this year 😀Wishing you a very Happy New Year filled with many treasures and adventures!

[@pigoff123]

I love going shopping for pottery in Poland. So much fun. One of my best friends lives there.

[@kschickle916]

This video was an ABSOLUTE pleasure to view. ❤

[@paultunster447]

you are so my people. I love christmas and would definitely keep decorations up longer. Love,love,love your channel. Tina

[@gerripeter484]

WOW absolutely love everything you found you have an amazing eye for vintage and great taste. I’ve learned so much from you an Jess can’t wait till you’re next video

[@leftcoastrevivals]

Thank you so much! It makes me happy that you love what we find! See ya in the next one 😘

[@greenphoenix687]

Loved Jesse's lesson on Glass cutting and Clock fixing. Also your travel tips too Laura... especially the CC for extra luggage allowance. Great tip, thank you :D

[@cerisewilson4088]

I do mosaics and a few years ago someone gave me a box of stained glass scraps. I got really good at cutting glass!

[@SusanRussell-b4i]

Honestly, after watching your last video of when you made all your finds.... I went to bed wondering if Jesse's clock would get home in one piece and how would I ever find out 😃Thanks for sharing the outcome. He did a great job with the repair. It is a really neat clock. I love all your finds! You make it look like so much fun:)

[@samanthafederico8278]

Thanks for the packing and clock tips!

[@joannabrochocka-peka2529]

Wonderful story, wonderful memories, wonderful treasures!

[@jungleflowerscanada5384]

I have learned so much from you Laura, I am now a Bitossi collector. I think you and Jesse are adorable, my favourite thrifting channel. I'm actually Irish, living in Canada, can't wait to go thrifting when I go home next. Hopefully, I'll find some Bitossi ❤

[@cyndeewenzel6439]

They have such cool stuff in Europe! Haven't watched yet just saw that you posted a video! Can't wait to see the goodies. lol Welcome back.

[@leftcoastrevivals]

I hope you enjoy it!! 🥳 And the full thrifting vlog is out now too! And it’s an hour long 🎉

[@carlahayden2461]

I love the red, but it is also my favorite color 😍

[@NikkiSeal]

Love the clock. Looks perfect.

[@lovematters7515]

Ooo I got the chills when you put the Bitossi horse in its place..beautiful finds Laura and Jesse!! All the best in the new year! ❤

[@emerybob1]

I love your episode today. Such amazing finds. I have mini obsessions as well, it makes life a little more exciting! Thanks for sharing. Laurie

[@dodipc]

Omg! Those wall sconces are amazing! Love the blue pottery too! Great finds! TFS❣️

[@mrspaulsen1717]

Thank you for sharing fixes!

[@rosekinnison4724]

Love the white horse, always my favorite finds.

[@katem3961]

Yay it's Laura 🩷🤍🩵

[@VickyCoughlan-co7tu]

That clock is going to look soooo good up there!!!

[@michellepelton1448]

Jessie’s clock is such a great find!

[@odettepeters7493]

Great travel tips.

[@christinacordero4624]

This was a great video. I loved seeing all your treasures. Happy New Year to both of you. 🎉🎉

[@AbbeGold]

Love this video! So great to see your packing tips. So happy to see how you decorated with your finds for Christmas! 🎄

[@chandaharkins4418]

I just want to come over and walk around your house. So many beautiful treasures!

[@amyweaver7413]

I’m so excited for this video!

[@jooughton4592]

Laura, you can leave your decorations up until Candlemass as that is when the Crib is taken down in churches. It’s Sunday 2nd of feb this year. I’m training to be a priest, and watch your videos in my me time.

[@guadalupeknippen528]

Jessie's clock is fantastic!! I think it will be perfect in the place you chose. I love the Bitosi horse is beautiful. Happy New Near to you both.

[@leftcoastrevivals]

Thank you! Happy New Year!!!

[@mcspankie2010]

Great haul! loved this!!!! the house is so beautifully done just love it!

[@beverleydryland1146]

Your definately not crazy just be you Laura a truly wonderful enthusiastic and beautiful person spreading so much joy x x love from Bunbury western Australia

[@tombennell7318]

Jesse, Jesse, Jesse! Not just the fish guy, he’s now the glass guy too. Love your videos, glad you had a good trip to Germany - we love it there for thrifting (we’re lucky we can drive from the UK).

[@Orangeblossom1239]

The Bitossi horse 😢 so beautiful. I loved everything in your haul. You have such a refine taste, I admire you a lot. I saw the story you put on instagram. This is so unfair, I have learnt sooo much watching your videos and I loved that without sometimes knowing the maker you pick up articles because you see beauty in them and they end up being actual artist and super expensive. I thrift for the same reason, the love for the artisans that created beautiful pieces and the treasure hunting feeling. Please never let them get to your head, your video is my way of closing my work week and relaxing so thank you

[@leftcoastrevivals]

Thank you so much for the sweet words! They got me down for a second but there’s too much fun to be had, and too many of you wonderful online friends to make content for! 🥳 Thank you for being so supportive and kind! Happy new Year!

[@fayemills4206]

Mine is still up too!! And I’m enjoying it so much!!

[@Amacott99]

The camels are my favourite ❤❤

[@normablake2748]

Wonderful items that you brought home. I really loved the Vanna White hand gesture when you styled the Bitossi horse, lol. Keep doing you ❤️

[@pigoff123]

I bought some beautiful necklaces in East Germany in 1986 before the wall came down. So much fun shopping there. It was so cheap too. 10 East German DM for every 1 West German DM. I loved shopping in Prague. Our tour guide told us not to eat the street food but we ate at one where all the office workers went and it was delicious.

[@SD-sv7oq]

Christmas is a season 🎄 Glad you are continuing to celebrate after Dec 25

[@er66an]

Jesse explaination on the clock was so interesting, didn't no that
