[@LindaKayHolevas]

I don’t think I’ve seen you wearing a solid color before. You look beautiful in black, too! I think you should definitely keep the necklace. It is stunning & it’s obvious how much it’s touched your heart. Treat yourself, girl!! I hope you’re doing well in this crazy snow/ice storm we’re having. Take care! 💕❄️🌨️

[@lela7252]

I agree, beautiful in black!

[@katem3961]

Laura, I think when you find something that really appeals to you keep it. The necklace and those gorgeous earrings obviously really appealed to you. Enjoy I say, you deserve them 😊 This market was amazing. That area has a very interesting history. Excellent video, thank you, as always, Laura 💙

[@pigoff123]

We grew up in cemeteries too in Germany. My dad worked on his genealogy while we were stationed there. My brothers and I played on the playground while they looked for family and asked about living family in the area. Found out that we were related to the Chief of police in Luxembourg. So many memories.

[@leftcoastrevivals]

How amazing! My parents and sister are coming with me on a trip this fall to see our ancestors graves in The Netherlands ❤️ It’s so special to find out the history on our ancestors!

[@VintagebyVandergrift]

😮😮 that is so cool!!

[@pigoff123]

When I was 20 I was hitting the flea markets in Germany. When I go to Germany I put a smaller suitcase in an empty bigger suitcase. I can fill the bigger suitcase with the items I bought and use my clothes as packing material too.

[@leftcoastrevivals]

Yes! I bring mid size in large or carry on size and loads of bubble wrap! 🙌

[@VintagebyVandergrift]

Such a good idea!!!

[@Rollie-go]

I absolutely LOVE the extra details you inserted about the designers! That knowledge that you give to your audience is one of the reasons your videos stand out from all the others. Please continue :)

[@amandaclark4965]

That Scandinavian copper piece was amazing!! I’m very much enjoying this European series - so inspiring!

[@VintagebyVandergrift]

I could watch it all day❤

[@susangladstone357]

Laura i could follow you around and just buy things you pick up but don’t buy - you have the best eye!

[@marygregory5062]

I’m from the middle of England, we have so many amazing antique markets, lovely to see how much you enjoyed our country and to see it through a traveling eye is wonderful. One of the biggest antique centre in England is called hemswell antique centre, worth a look if you come over again.

[@leftcoastrevivals]

I’ll add it to my list! I hope to get back to England soon 😄❤️

[@smokindragon04]

I came across your channel by accident,I have been binge watching ever since,so happy to be here I have learned so much and I’m looking forward to more videos!

[@angietodd-dennis5292]

Laura life is short. Spend every moment enjoying what gives you joy. You'll know when it's time to pass it on.

[@dianacann5243]

You absolutely have to keep that beautiful Egyptian scarab necklace! number one-It is so you ! number two-it will always always remind you of your fabulous trip !!

[@wendymorrison5803]

I love going thrifting in a group, all going after our own style, then meeting to discuss in a "show and tell" session.

[@mrschaffee3]

Pleeeeze keep the necklace. You have EARNED it🎉❤

[@leftcoastrevivals]

I’ve been obsessed with Egypt since I was a little kid. I think I just might but I will have to wear it often! I don’t want it to end up as something I keep but never wear.

[@lorrainemadden869]

I would absolutely lose my mind at this place! Thanks for sharing!

[@jackiemacburnie7562]

Such amazing finds! Every time I see your "Lady & Cat" painting, I fall deeper in love with it ❤

[@sianscountrylife4925]

Can't believe you've made it over to the UK ! I hope you had a fabulous time ❤

[@DontKillBirdie]

Those colorful earrings are truly beautiful, I'd keep 'em too 😊 That purple stone, sugilite, is so rare to be seen, but whenever they use it for inlay jewelry like yours, it just looks amazing. Great finds Laura ❤

[@gillsargisson8863]

I am totally in awe of you Laura, you have a fantastic eye for finding amazing pieces. Love the gold/brass cross necklace and earrings. Love from England ❤.

[@suetraviss8888]

I’ve met Henry Winkler and he’s the nicest man! And yes, it’s Arthur 😉

[@suetraviss8888]

He was speaking at a conference for dyslexia. He could barely read his scripts…he had to have people tell him what his lines were. Amazing man ❤️

[@maggiemae6867]

I'm in Omaha NE and Steve opened up Vintage Oasis and it's a gem!!!! It's a huge store. If you get down here, you won't be disappointed.

[@susanmeanslily]

I really think you should get some ‘use’ out of the necklace before you put it up for sale. Wear it 6 times, and after that you will know if it’s one you will wear enough to make it worth keeping…and I’d love to see you wear it in an upcoming video!

[@dawnangelawalker]

Upper and lower case lettering story is true

[@Rachel-tt1wj]

You should keep that amazing necklace. It’s stunning. Thanks for reminding me how fantastic Spitalfields is because I haven’t been for a while - it’s only a couple of hours from my city in the UK so I have no excuse😀I’ve learnt so much from your videos and they always brighten my day

[@pigoff123]

Isn't London amazing. I had a blast when we went. So much fun pub hopping.

[@leftcoastrevivals]

I LOVE London. Watching this footage back to edit I was so nostalgic for London.

[@catherinemcneill7045]

Terrific finds,Laura. I went straight to your shop to see if my favorite find was there, but it wasn't because it is also your favorite find. Not surprised as that happens often. If I were you, I would keep it until certain I wouldn't be sorry to let it go. You can make $$$ on other things that you don't cherish as much. You seem to let go easier than I do, though. Thanks for the fun, and never stop learning. That's the key! Cat

[@marylafraczek2853]

Hi Laura! I stumbled upon your channel just few weeks ago and I am OBSESSED! You have an amazing energy and I really enjoy how you share your knowledge and just how much you know and still are so humble :) I love second hand and vintage since I can remember but in Poland where I come from we usually have only second hand clothes. I moved to Sweden 5 years ago and since day one am obsessed with their flea markets (loppis). I have never been to US but when it comes to Scandinavians you can really see how much love they have for things, almost everything that I buy in second hand is amazing quality. In one of the videos you mention you were in Norway but I think you would love Sweden too both for the landscape and for all the second hand finds :) I feel inspired by you and am now paying more attention to the beautiful handmade Swedish ceramics and furniture and learning more and more about it. Big hugs from Sweden! 😊

[@leftcoastrevivals]

That’s wonderful! Norway was unbelievable ❤️ I can’t wait to share that video soon! We hope to make it to all the Scandinavian countries soon 😄😄😄 Keep up the thrifting in Sweden!! 👏

[@josephinerunci6052]

Really great market.!The word you couldn't read in Italian under the brutalist sculpture is the word that means creations in English . So nice when you pronounce Italian. I sense you love my country so, If you want, I can teach you Italian. Wish u a good day!❤

[@oldladylovesBruno]

The prices there were really good! I'd love to visit England. You're very fortunate to be able to travel so much. A life well lived.

[@cristinaborger83]

I bought the snake bracelet the other day in a kringloop winkel ( second hand shop in Dutch ) for 80€ cents… 0’80€….

[@MsKatillac]

Weird, my mom had a miniature brass table set like that. It was probably from the '70s. Love, love those chandelier earrings with the various Native American stones! I wouldn't have been able to pass those up either! Great finds!

[@malindawoodring982]

Go Laura! I just love your videos! I also love London! It is definitely my favorite city in the entire world! Have fun!

[@leftcoastrevivals]

It’s such a wonderful city!!!

[@bridgettesitton7018]

I just love all the jewelry you buy you really have a good eye for it!!❤❤❤ I would totally keep the Egyptian necklace at least for a bit it's just so different and your going to miss it I think😊 thanks for sharing loved this video great job xxx

[@pawelbachorski3891]

I used to work right next to Spitalfields and would visit the market in my lunch hour. I live in Poland now so this was a nostalgic experience for me. I love your taste in jewellery but can’t believe the prices European items fetch in the US.

[@pigoff123]

I still have the drawings I bought in Paris when I was 16. Still havent framed them yet. Guess once I pay off my moms household goods that I had shipped from Germany I will get them framed.

[@dalilasalas9638]

Laura you're worthy of keeping a one of a kind. It's not always avoid selling it.

[@rubyredd6366]

Great finds! I recently started following you about 6-8 months ago! We share the same taste! I too enjoy researching, and love thrifting. Love the earrings, I actually own a similar pair that were gifted to me, wear them from time to time. Thanks for the journey! ✨️

[@leftcoastrevivals]

So glad you found me! I’ve been researching something I found this morning for hours with no luck 😂 But when I find it… it’s the best feeling 😆

[@lindellhamilton5852]

Love your videos, all your knowledge sharing, research, and your hard work Laura!!!!💜💙💚 Really enjoy all your videos. From down under, Victoria, Australia.

[@karenchasenvintage2029]

Love seeing my Favorite Left Coast Girl shopping in London 🧡🧡🧡

[@_Rhon_]

Major thumbs up. #1 thrifter/reseller. No doubt about it 😊 The chandelier earrings are to-die-for spectacular!!

[@cmarq817]

My favourite is also the Egyptian revival necklace. Beautiful !

[@gretemariemolaug2559]

Love that u were hats u look good in them❤

[@pm5951]

I used to list it immediately but now I enjoy it for awhile before I list it. Somethings are harder than others to let go. So envious of your travel and thrifting experiences. Your videos are very satisfying to watch.

[@kathryntify]

Hold on to that necklace Laura!! You can always sell it later.

[@marianic194]

Hi Laura, another great video! I grew up in London so I especially loved this one. Will be going to London in a couple of weeks so will definitely be visiting Spitafields. I have been following your channel for some time. Your videos are a joy to watch and I love seeing what amazing things you find. I've learnt so much from you about vintage, especially love studio pottery, and look out for it when I travel. Look forward to the next one! PS - keep the necklace, it's fabulous!

[@irinahunter372]

Welcome to Britain Laura!

[@RobertaS-69]

If you're having any doubt whatsoever about listing or keeping a necklace then you should keep it until there is no doubt. The value of it really isn't an issue it's what you paid for it which wasn't much so for you to keep it you're not losing anything. But you gain those precious memories that you say you feel every time you look at it or wear it. I think your heart already told you that your answer keep it❤ keep it ❤keep it❤😊

[@PatSimmons-g4r]

Love your videos!

[@catherinemaas9757]

Laura, the one place I head for sure every time I go to London is Sunbury. It is a short train ride from London, is on the grounds of a racetrack and the best part is the train stops right there. It is both indoors and out and I have found some of my best deals there.

[@leftcoastrevivals]

I’ve had that in my calendar for 2 years and never can make the timing work out with my trips 😆 Someday I’ll finally make it!

[@catherinemaas9757]

@@leftcoastrevivalsI am headed to London and Amsterdam in August and will be stopping in for sure again. Any market tips for Amsterdam or Rotterdam?

[@VintagebyVandergrift]

😮😮😮 sounds perfect!

[@Paulsofsteel]

Laura goes to London to get Buffalo Horn Bracelets. LOL

[@leftcoastrevivals]

😂 🦬

[@junkinhertrunk-dianak]

Oh I love this so much!! You found beautiful treasure in London!

[@leftcoastrevivals]

It’s the best isn’t it? I miss London 😄

[@eleven903]

Thank you for that trip down memory lane. Camden & the open markets are a lot of fun. A feast for the eyes! As a photographer I could not get enough. Boy can I relate to the not being able to sleep on airplanes. Yep. Many trips with no sleep. I once sat on about a six inch wide portion of a seat for about 11.5 hours on a trip to the Netherlands; while the Nigerian man (not being mean, but, he filled both our seats- slept) If that were not bad enough, I as on the inside by the window and he snored very loudly for just about the entire trip. Was I eager to fly again after that? Not really but I then took a tin can flight over to Belgium from Amsterdam ha hah. From there a shake down at the border of Belgium & a ride thru the 'chunnel'. Have you ever done it? when you do the London trip again; a must see is Highgate cemetery, it is beyond incredible! They actually give tours it is that massive. On the east entrance ( if i remember it correctly), there is an ancient Egyptian gateway-that is stunning & quite bizarre for the locale. Anyway, thank you. Cheers.

[@leftcoastrevivals]

We took the Chunnel on our 2022 trip! So wild! My sister and parents are going on a road trip through The Netherlands this fall to visit small towns where our ancestors are from. I’m so excited for that!

[@vodell4935]

Definitely wear and enjoy the Paris made Egyptian piece. It is so unique, Your colors and will always remind you of your amazing trip!

[@aleksandravujasin7034]

I just love watching your adventures. I am so glad I discovered your channel. ❤

[@vickinoeske1154]

There are so many unusual items that we just don't see here in the States. Great finds, Laura.❤😊

[@greenphoenix687]

And I watch Laura thrifting in the US and I think there are so many amazing things that you just dont find in the UK ;)

[@vickinoeske1154]

@greenphoenix687 So true. Plus, most of us in the States agree that our local thrift shops are nothing like the fantastic shops in Oregon and Washington. 😊

[@MahaEm-o8g]

Oh my gosh! I loved that abstract deer. Em

[@HKM2728]

Laura you have the most beautiful outlook and attitude. You are a ray of sunshine! ☀️

[@leftcoastrevivals]

🥰😘 Thank you! I’ve been made fun of most my life for this… called a Pollyanna.. etc. but life sure is more enjoyable enjoying it 😆❤️

[@donnagreen5707]

Just discovered your site a month ago and have been binge watching ever since. Love your personality, enthusiasm, knowledge base, and style. You and Jesse are a sweet couple who are very fortunate to have such similar interests. Also, you have a perfect head and face for wearing a hat. That really is not very common. Keep showing us all your wonderful trips-you’re making me an Oregon lover!

[@donnagreen5707]

I also forgot to add that the Oregon Department of Tourism should be paying you a stipend for all of the promotional content you do for the state, from gorgeous footage of different regions of the state, to retail shops and stores, to restaurants/hotels.

[@bettyallgood5418]

I just happened to run across site and so happy I did. You can say that I have been bored because I just had a knee revision replacement and haven't been able to do anything, I'm always looking for thing even at my age at 73. I have always loved the mid-century things. I have a whole storage unit of all kinds of glass ware that I got from my mother-in-law after she passed a few years back and I really do not know what, how to start getting rid of it. She had a lot of sets of glasses and I'm talking every piece, and some sets are like 8-to-12-piece settings from the water glass to wine glass to the cordial glasses. So here I'm with it all. But I love your finds and I will be following you on your adventures.

[@james7972]

Keep the that gorgeous necklace

[@vickisanderson6684]

Excited to see the video on how you pack to bring things home. I am going to Florence next year and would love to brings treasures home with me. 1st trip ever to another country.

[@leftcoastrevivals]

I’ll teach ya everything I know! 😄

[@sarahcarotabrand8943]

Laura! That brooch as a tattoo is hellamazing!!!!!!! Wow wow wow!

[@peggysiler4626]

Laura you look so pretty in black. Thank you for taking us along you had a great haul. I think I would keep the jewelry when are you ever going to get another one. Thrifty things in your house are a lot better than going to the stores and buying them better made too. See you next time

[@lilawolfe3341]

first timer here on this channel and i just love the educational bits of your video, i could learn to appreaciate a thing or two more 😍

[@pamelagonzales7075]

[@AbbeGold]

Your videos are my favorite 😍 I love going along with you on your travels and treasure hunting!!!

[@kristinnicholson9241]

I think I would keep the necklace for a bit like you said and then probably sell it - it is so beautiful

[@pigoff123]

I took a bus tour of the Kaiser porcelain factory. Bought so much.

[@leftcoastrevivals]

How fun! I’d love to do that someday!

[@chriswitt2596]

This was one of my favorite videos of yours. So many treasures. I love West Germany pottery. Good job. Much more interesting than videos of the goodwill.

[@debsherman9453]

My advice on the necklace is to keep it and wear it and love it. Life is too short to just go for the profit and I also love those earrings you purchased. Such a good eye.

[@lindaopperthauser2284]

I too am German and Dutch. Last name is a big give away. Enjoying the trips abroad thru you Laura❤

[@karenx7541]

So glad you know Camden Passage Laura. I grew up around there in the 60’s and it was always an exciting place to go as a child with my Mum. It’s been there a long time.😊

[@leftcoastrevivals]

Great place to just hang out and have a coffee at too!

[@enriquetavargas2781]

I say keep it you deserve it.

[@Lomie32]

Spitalfields and Islington are my old stomping grounds, I feel homesick watching this! Funnily enough after watching your tramp art box video in Belgium I keep seeing them! I saw 2 or 3 at an antiques fair last week.

[@amronronnoc742]

OMG you missed 2 Bitossi vases when you picked up that wooden pepper mill Laura 😢

[@ThomasConrad-f3p]

Excellent "still" photos; most videos on flea markets uploaded show a "shaky" image of the articles viewed! Also highly recommend your advise on making a record of all the items looked at of interest; but, beware, there is a huge number of forgeries and copies out there and the forgeries are sometimes very difficult with which one can be duped!!!

[@annetteclark5617]

Beautiful finds there Laura, I would wear the French Egyptian necklace for a while maybe wear it to a special occasion so that lots of photos are taken so you have a visual memory and see how you feel in a year or so time, it's not only your buyers that deserve beautiful things! As for the black hand by the German designer, only a theory but there was a lot of sensitivities around Germany post WWII, so if this hand is from the 1950s I wonder if it was imported and over stamped - obviously this theory doesn't work if it's an imprinted stamp!

[@judyfaul8524]

Crazy about the Egyptian necklace! Keep it and enjoy Laura!❤

[@tessanderson2431]

Financial value is one thing however sometimes the joy of something you really enjoy , that makes you feel happy and is beautifully made ( and you appreciate its beauty) pays dividends beyond a monetary amount. Keeping the necklace is a good option . 😉

[@VintagebyVandergrift]

Well said!!

[@nadiamelissacruzelvir1515]

I have so inspired by your videos to do my 2 favorite things-travel and thrift! I want to go to London this summer and would love to find some people who have a real working knowledge of where to stay and all the different flea markets available in and out of the city. Thanks for all your informative videos! Love them!
