THE GOODWILL STORES WERE LOADED! THRIFTING OVER 50+ GOODWILL THRIFT STORES! Thrift With Me Episode 3

[@LillianCenteno-u3r]

I think that camels with the three "kids" are the three wise kings and that is a Christmas decoration. Did you notice the figures had crowns?

[@edmondsmom]

I agree! It's the Three Wise Men.

[@mdorn6592]

Thank you...I was going to comment on the same thing but you beat me to it ; )

[@luciollelsa]

I thought exactly the same in English it's three wise man but in French we are calling them "Les Trois Rois Mages" , the 👑 crowns says it all !

[@_Rhon_]

That was my thought too. 😊

[@leftcoastrevivals]

🤴🤴🤴 💯 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@roycemcdonald2498]

I think Jesse is about the sweetest husband around. Always smiling, supportive and a great sense of humor. I love watching you two interact. Always kind and respectful. Never any attitude. I’m 70 yrs old and have been married over 40 yrs. In this day and age you guys are unicorns. I commend you.

[@Signe-p3m]

Love it. I like when Jesse is with you - you have a comfortable, loving, humorous way of interacting with each other that gives me such feel-good vibes. Its infectious.

[@LadyDiVintage1953]

Can I just say…your hubby is a hunk and so sweet with a great sense of humor.

[@leftcoastrevivals]

He sure is! 😁

[@mariaroldan4200]

I will add …: he gets better over time, like the good wine!

[@daniellesdilly]

Chill lol

[@brendaperez8518]

The bottle with the ballerina in it and the alcohol I ended up buying Funny thing is is it was on my bucket list. My great grandmother had one as I was a child. And she used to let me wind it and watch the girl dance. I nearly cried when I found it. Then was shocked when I was telling my best friend what I had gotten on the phone and she had seen your video. I was so surprised to watch it and see the bottle I had purchased.

[@donutmuncher6994]

I googled it, priced at over $300!!!

[@plumberofamerica]

I would have bought that in a heartbeat. Beautiful collector's item❤

[@leoniepearce2221]

I’m in Australia I have one of these I picked up many years ago in a thrift shop. The doll is red in the one I have.

[@leoniepearce2221]

That bottle could of been flipped for over $100

[@jupitermoon8671]

I Love this story! Hope laura reads this, thanks for taking time to post!

[@katiebrown7617]

The Goodwills in your area are so nice, organized and clean. I love the original flower/bird paintings in the gold frames.

[@dawnthediver]

Jesse joining in videos are my favorite videos!! Your dynamic out and about is just delightful to watch!

[@lonelyrider606]

Agree 💯!👍

[@PatriciaCramp]

You two are like peas and carrots. You compliment each other perfectly.

[@sueh9597]

You are so.blessed that you have a sweet, calm husband who enjoys thrifting with you🙂

[@erinmaxwell8133]

He is so calm! Mine used to cruise up-and-down the aisles by himself ... And then go sit on a couch in the back of the store and wait for me

[@cwt213]

I think the wooden bowl with the swirl is a yarn bowl. You thread the yarn through the swirl and put the yarn in the bowl so the ball doesn’t roll away. When you’re finished you can stick your knitting needles through the holes until you pick your project up again.

[@BethTitsworth]

Laura, it’s so fun watching you and Jesse shop together. I think you compliment each other! I love the clock, what a great find!

[@dmreddragon6]

Is it just me, or do the hands look to long?

[@mkeerkens]

The wooden windmill mold is for speculaas, a traditional Dutch cookie. PS. Jesse is the perfect comic relief in your videos. He's great at coming up with funny retorts.

[@kirstencook1439]

I agree I had dutch room mate made cookies with similar look 😉

[@annesels2028]

My mom has hers hanging in the kitchen next to some British brass saddle medallions, all souvenirs from past trips.

[@MsOwl22]

Came to say the same thing...mold for speculaas cookies...🥰

[@GertyMarshall]

The thing that is clear that you styled as a vase is actually an oil lamp controlled bubble from Portugal. You got it in the Damascus GW.

[@barbb.9489]

Jesse is a huge help thrifting. Quite the fun enabler!

[@BK-rf2uu]

Thank you Laura and Jesse. Your knowledge and talent along with your adorable relationship and sense of humors make your channel one of the best! Thoroughly enjoy watching your videos .. I’m entertained and I always learn something. Thank you again for your professionalism, dedication to quality and hard work. 🥰❤️

[@kokoinmn]

It was a desk in box. Put your papers in it and weigh them down and have privacy with the lid. Very Mad Men.

[@upgrade101]

I came here to comment the same thing. ❤ So gorgeous.

[@susantacchino4768]

the 'tape dispenser' was a kitchen item, you put your sponge across it resting each end in the cut out

[@denverdubois5835]

Oh! I need one of those...

[@ellenleclair5388]

Ohhh I thought it was a cutlery holder. I have a Princess House crystal one that looks same shape

[@Fg4e]

I thought it was for holding water and the slots for laying your brush across, for watercolor painting.

[@annjensen795]

The bottom rim on the Japanese bowls were very clean and white... usually with age they darken with stains...they get marked from being moved back and forth on shelves/tables and cupboards. My guess would be these are newer.

[@lenettasmith-murray2145]

The Goodwill's where I live, in rural northwestern Pennsylvania, are nothing like you are able to visit. You are blessed for sure.

[@denisef3228]

I live in Florida in the Tampa Bay Area and our Goodwills are nowhere near as good as yours out there. Heavy sigh……

[@kschickle916]

I am new here BUT, I think Jesse is a hoot. He can show up anytime he wants cuz you two just make me smile. I’m working backwards through this Goodwilll tour. I LOVE this idea.

[@penelopesparrow]

Yeah just so you know, I WILL watch a 10 hour video of you going to all the goodwills in one day

[@heatherjohnson5612]

I’m here for it too!!!

[@julieviada8777]

That glass orb shaped piece w the bubbles is an oil lamp from the early 80's. I have one just like it, they're beautiful when lit

[@cherylsoderstrom7391]

Love to watch you two! So sweet to each other.

[@philamplants3778]

I wish my husband would be supportive when I go to thrift stores

[@kelleydeclue4100]

I don't know why he wouldn't be, are you thrifting to flip or like me taking stuff home unwilling to part with it?!😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@margaretalbert69]

My hubby loves it more than I do

[@imkindaartsyfartsy]

I love when Jessie comes along because he’s so funny and a big ham, lol!😊

[@dwagnerful]

Always LOVE seeing Jesse in the videos! Jesse, you add a cool edge to the shopping spree. We like your style! You're a perfect match with Laura! 💖

[@annmarietriola1640]

Wow, Jesse sure has come a long way. I remember when he was really shy to be on camera. Lol. You two are really fun to watch and I am really enjoying this series. Great idea Jesse now all you need is a jingle. 😊

[@hildilrs]

Just found you! Laura, Wow! So much fun shopping with you. Your hubby and you great team. Your area has amazing things 😮👍

[@ellensoeclectic]

Laura, the older you get the more you learn about yourself! I'm 55 and I love getting older, except the wrinkles, because I love the things I'm learning about me, and the older I get, the less I care about the little things. Btw, you changed my life Laura, I'm serious! And one day I can't wait to tell you, in person, how. Ty with all of my heart! Just know, that you do amazing things, and I'm sure I'm not the only ones that thinks so. Ty! Ty! Ty! 😘

[@leftcoastrevivals]

I agree with this so much! Getting older is much different than I expected. I’m thoroughly enjoying it! Except the wrinkles 😂 I look forward to meeting you in person someday and hearing your story ❤️ -L

[@rayray877]

Laura Caldwell Great video! The pottery at 4:16 is to put your kitchen sponge across the slots and set your bottle of soap toward the back

[@tinamccallon319]

The brass piece with the flat lid you passed on is an office desk organizer for holding letters and communications. The lid is made to sit flat on the letters to shield and cover the contents.

[@maggiepatrick892]

The gold tone tray with lid could be a thing of the past…possibly a file tray for your desk. - lid for holding down papers and privacy. I’ve seen similar in my past years working.

[@SuzanneScordo-ez2xn]

Yes an in/out file box with a privacy/paper weight my mom use to have one on her desk when she worked as a court clerk mid 60's

[@greenphoenix687]

Yes, me the same. The lids I've seen were for exactly as you state.

[@angelad.8944]

I also thought it might be for hard place mats and the lid id to keep the sun off of them. Maybe?

[@rikkemeek1506]

I think the " Kids" riding the camel are the 3 wise men. I love Gustav Klimt. I have a print of The Kiss❤

[@leeannmettlach2412]

The Kiss is one of my favorites!

[@sandrahammond5566]

I have a poster of The Kiss! Love Klimt!

[@jjdicarloutube]

I love Jesse too. OK, chiming in on the brass colored ‘in box’ you found that has the lid. So, yes, that is exactly how they were … you had an inbox on your desk and for confidentiality reasons, you, or your assistant, would put papers in it then you’d put that lid on top to keep people who happen to swing by your desk from seeing what was in there. It also weighted the papers down and just looked more neat. These were typically found on the desks of senior executives. I’ve never seen one like that, though. Usually, they were leather covered and I always loved how they made a desk look.

[@DorisGreen-q5x]

Love the broken lid pottery. Height lovely much better than the usual "moneybag" shape. Impressive with greenery.

[@vanessap386]

LOVE that you mentioned checking for lead. So appreciate you bringing light to that very important part of thrifting!

[@honeybdream]

How can one check for lead

[@vanessap386]

@@honeybdream there are lead strip tests but not really sensitive enough. Almost all vintage ceramic has lead though soo I no longer thrift it.

[@rebeccaburke4348]

I think the cactus candleholders are HIDEOUS! Everything else is very cute.

[@jupitermoon8671]

Haha i agree! Normally I get laura’s aesthetic and can guess whether it’s in the trolley or pass and for sure I thought she would say they were hideously kitsch!

[@ryannecomea-callin2560]

❤ Everything about your Calla Lily clock find! That you and Jesse both love it; and that you now know your favorite flower, and I think how happy the designer-maker of the clock would be, to know how delighted you are, to make this clock a part of your happy home! That is a best-in-vintage moment ....one of many xox

[@MelindaEvans-d7t]

I love having Jesse come along on the trips. He provides a different perspective. Love your videos!

[@miriamnoriega6612]

LOVE the Calla Lily clock!!!

[@maryallen1017]

Another great episode today Laura with your wonderful sidekick Jesse. You two need to be in a TV show together called The Thrifing Roadshow. Staring Laura & Jesse. Doing exactly what you two do best.

[@Avakatrina]

I must say I saw you last night and watched most of a show, but I put it on hold because I wanted to see you tonight instead of all the work I had to do which probably would’ve taken four or five hours. I was mesmerized by your two shows going to Europe, 2024 and it’s entirety and now I am on the What you find or what you have found after the whole and in your shopping now you’re trying to hit all the local Goodwill in that area I guess in Oregon needless to say my point this is I would be so blessed if I could join you on your magical trip to Europe or one of the other places you were mentioning it’s amazing I would absolutelybe falling by this hope to hear from you.

[@sonjakirchdorfer6838]

"ballerina in a bottle": you got it correct, it's from the brand "Bols" - an Amsterdam brand with a long tradition for liqueurs. if that special one was not opened before, it is a very rare and expensive dealed one. Look it up :-)

[@bethhutchinson4230]

Have one that was a business gift to my father in the fifties.

[@DorisGreen-q5x]

$300.00

[@Signe-p3m]

That big insulator is pretty valuable

[@leeannmettlach2412]

That is the biggest insulator I’ve ever seen.

[@cletasteidle2389]

I think the MCM covered paper tray may be complete-the top is to hold the papers down to keep them from blowing away.

[@treesart6914]

I just watched Jocelyn's channel and I notice that the general style of things, the design, the look of them, on your side of the country is totally different. More bold, colorful and swirly. In her area it's more modest/old/antique-y.

[@Komponents]

I love when you and Jesse are together in the videos. You guys are so cute! Can’t believe you’re over 40.❤️

[@lyndaparker2969]

I thrifted a glass bubble with a cotton wick... the well is for fuel...a candle!

[@goodcompanyhr2945]

Yes, I believe it's Kosta Boda

[@1973ladyred]

The tray was a holder for paperwork and the lid was the weight you put on top of the papers to hold them down in place.

[@susansewardfamily]

That’s exactly what it was, on an executives desk so that what they were working on was covered 😁from a secretary in the 70’s

[@leftcoastrevivals]

Oh wow! That makes sense now why the lid was so heave 😆

[@susanalfieri4487]

I was thinking the same...kind of like the napkin holders with the weighted tops. It looked perfect for 8.5 x 11" sheets of paper.

[@ET-yp9vc]

Arita Yaki (Arita Pottery) is from Saga Prefecture on Kyushu Island in Japan. They are famous for their pottery. I used to live near there. The 120th Arita Pottery Fair was just held from April 29th (Mon) - May 5th (Sun), 2024. It happens annually 🏺

[@leftcoastrevivals]

That’s amazing! I read the whole Wikipedia page on Arita pottery after finding these and I’m loving learning more about Japanese pottery!

[@aunti_gen4557]

The grey pottery horse with what looked like scales on one side is giving me Kelpie vibes.

I loved all the pottery finds!!! Y’all did a good job of finding such great items!! Like seeing you and Jesse shop together!!! I believe that was Nessy!!!🤗

[@debsmith2269]

I think the pair of blue and white asian bowls could be newish (maybe vintage but not antique) because the glaze seems a little shinier than I think it should be. Either that or they haven't seen much use over the years. I absolutely love the wooden lily clock, but my fave piece is the wild horse vase thingy. A close equal second is the pair of small bird paintings. Really great finds today 👍.

I think the glass “vase” with the bubbles might actually be an oil lamp, you just fill with oil and add a wick.
