IT WAS WAITING FOR ME! | 2 Stores In 1 Day | Thrift With Me | Thrift Haul | Shop With Me

Shop my vintage! www.leftcoastr...
Today is girls day! My amazing friend Michele joins me and we hit downtown Hillsboro for some coffee and antiquing. I've known Michele since I was a little kid ❤️ She worked for my family business as an artist for over 30 years. She is one of the kindest most amazing humans I've ever known and I'm happy to share her with all of you 😊 Coffee and antiquing is one of our favorite things to do together. We used to take our lunch work breaks to go hit Goodwill back in the day and it is so fun to thrift together once again.

The candle holders look elegant now not cheesy.

[@cyndybeller1306]

Candle sticks 100% better with the clear!

[@autumnwhitaker2979]

1.) I so appreciate that you don't break up sets of things like how you didn't purchase the crane salt and pepper shaker. 2.) I feel like a tour of Michele's home would be amazing as it seems like she has such amazing taste.

[@asmaerahou747]

Hi Laura, you're the most positive person i ever seen, watching your videos made my entire weekend, your smile is so contagious,

[@leftcoastrevivals]

Thank you Asmae! I’ve been made fun of a lot in my life for having my head in the clouds, or being too optimistic or called a Pollyanna, so I appreciate that you appreciate my outlook on life 😄 Life can be so wonderful and beautiful even amongst hard times! Hope you have a wonderful weekend! 😘❤️

[@FTG2Eli]

I just have to say that I love your music choice for your videos, and the volume does not override.......well done!

[@fionamaclean7948]

Thank you for not breaking up the sets. Whomever buys them will be delighted to have all the pieces.

[@rebacarmack8335]

Wow the candleholders look amazing in the clear!

[@pattimercer9357]

Your videos are my favourite

[@debbievanhorn6205]

I swear, I just don’t know how you find all of the vintage items at such a low cost!

[@janetplanet09]

OMG...With the clear glass, I want those candlesticks! I had no idea how gorgeous they would be w/o the ugly red.

[@betsycruz]

You have such a gift. Those candleholders are gorgeous

[@lorettatawney6307]

Your beautiful kitty stole the show!

[@thriftythrifter1166]

The cat!!!!! 💕💕💕

[@patricia5686]

Those carved shoes brought back memories. My dad was stationed in the Philippines in 1959 when I was 8 years old. I fell in love with those shoes. I had to have them and after much begging my parents did buy them for me. I hung on to them for years and regretfully sold them in one of my yard sales. But it started me on a journey of adoring handmade items from around the world.

[@shannonmatuch7848]

I gasped when you pulled the skirt up in the car. It looks adorable on you, as does everything else. It was nice to see Michelle again and Im glad you ladies will be able to spend more time together. ❤

[@ucsbalum73]

Great water fountain for the cats! How thoughtful of you lol

[@lindabryant3273]

OMG Laura you have such an eye for detail! I would not have given those candle holders a second glance. You restored their beauty. They look stunning all lit up. Jesse has a heart full of love for you and it shows with the sweet thoughtful gifts he gives you. Can’t wait to see your next video Laura. ♥️♥️

[@suzyallen1726]

I'm so glad that you have a partner that knows you and appreciates you for who you are. You are very lucky

[@leftcoastrevivals]

I really am 🥰 I know it! We both are and know it and don’t take it for granted ❤️ We got lucky we found each other.

[@rosegarden0988]

Gorgeous tea pot. Love the 4 candles with tall stands! Cat loves the water fountain! LoL

[@katiebrown7617]

Your cat drinking from the fountain was so funny. My two cats would definitely have done the same thing. They love drinking from the faucets. Getting that cheesy red film off those beautiful candle holders was such a transformation. They looked beautiful.

[@angelinafigl6485]

The cat is the Best !

[@rikkemeek1506]

Love how the candleholders turned out😍 Why anybody would ruin them with cheap red film is beyond me🤦‍♀️ Good to see Michele again😃

[@leftcoastrevivals]

It was poorly applied too. So glad it was an easy save 🙌

[@rikkemeek1506]

@@leftcoastrevivals So glad you saved them😉

[@lilliekat4U]

WOW what a difference it made with the glass votives removing the red. I remember buying a paint that dried and made clear glass look like frosted glass. I took baby food jars and painted with red & green for Christmas. Looks like that is what that was on those... That is a great way to get your animals to drink water!!

[@beachgirl9823]

The 2 brass “scoopers” are actually irons. People used to put hot coals in them to iron their clothes. Lovely Video Laura.

[@leftcoastrevivals]

Oh wow! Thank you for sharing this info!

[@judyfink9527]

My grandmother had one paired with a brass and enameled cigarette box..the iron as an ashtray. The cigarette box held non filter cigarettes. I remember seeing them in the late 40's...they are now mine.

[@debrashulman362]

Specifically silk

[@MrsGbowska]

My mother-in-law saw those brass irons used as personal warmers by women sitting and selling in the markets in Japan (she was there in the early 50s just after the war). They put charcoal in them and slid them under their skirts!

[@marilynproctor3485]

Those candle holders are so sleek and beautiful. Good haul!🤗

[@heididepotter8136]

I love the fountain. Your cat will LOVE it too. Cats prefer moving water above still water

[@kittyglitter5376]

I love how the cat thinks the water fountain is his personal drink dispenser. He looked adorable sipping his water! 🐾 ❤️

[@rickstone1217]

You gotta be careful to keep water in the water fountain now that the cat has discovered it because if the pump runs dry it will burn out...

[@yougrowgail]

Sooooo funny that Laura thrifts the most beautiful vases and she puts her flowers in a old water glass lol

[@leftcoastrevivals]

😂

[@susanwehe8270]

So elegant without the red

[@kittyglitter5376]

Those candlesticks look spectacular! When you first showed an overview of your first haul, I thought they were kind of cheap and cheesy looking. Scraping the red mess off has elevated them to very elegant. 👍🏻

[@elsienorback7689]

Beautiful! Love the clear glass and long stem candle holders. They look so much better than with the red.

[@teresajohnson5063]

You know we all laughed watching the cat drink the water....

[@danasmith6688]

The candlesticks are amazing!!!

[@peggyfiedler1556]

Absolutely love them!

[@raeboyd5596]

Im so glad i found your channel. Its so fun to shop with you. You are so joyous and high spirited and i love the colorful things that draw your eye and your repurposing ideas. It just makes me want to jump up and get dressed and go to the thrift store!

[@maryjoymath3545]

Mom, Dad u bought me my own drinking water fountain!! I think I will keep you!!💕💕🦋🦋💕💕

[@kristinacragerud4477]

Once the red stuff was gone, the candles are gorgeous! Nice job Laura!!!

[@kates.6076]

This has got to be, hands down, one of your BEST HAULS. OMG! Thank you for all you do. Love from CA❤

[@hassancarlosvargas6437]

You have such an amazing eye for great treasures! My friend Bree and I love learning from you! You need your own TV show!!!

[@carolann1320]

The vase with the cloisonne is divine. Thanks for bringing us along.

[@nancybourland2323]

Love your finds 💖 Great idea to turn the pipe holder into a holder for snacks. Now you just need some short forks for it. 😊 Fabulous that your hubby was able to add a new pump to the fountain and it works 👍🏻 Love your vintage skirt. 💕 You have such an eye for decor and jewelry. Just love your channel TFS Have a great weekend 🥰

[@leftcoastrevivals]

Thanks Nancy! Now I’m on the hunt for some cute forks 😄

[@RetroC82]

Great finds always!! Those candle holders you scored were lovely!!!

[@nickydenning6988]

I'm so happy that you & Michelle are living so close to one another now!! I LOVE seeing you 2 together ~ so much loveliness & creativity between you!! ❤

[@phyllisburt1123]

I love when Michelle tags along. She seems to be a very talented, artistic person. Like you!

[@nonyabiznus5416]

Great video and finds! I think the butterfly wing ring is actually Mexican Fire Opal and if so, it’s a very distinct stone!

[@violetweiner6883]

Personally I think it's art glass (I'm an AGTA cert. gemologist) but could definitely be wrong

[@denverdubois5835]

@@violetweiner6883 I think it's art glass as well.

[@gloriahanes5338]

Buying vintage keeps items out of the landfill which helps the environment and who doesn't care about the environment. Recycle, reuse, and reinvent has been my motto for well over 55 years.

[@leftcoastrevivals]

Yes!! 🙌❤️

[@heathermullen8647]

I ❤️❤️❤️ the candle holders after you took th red off. You have a great eye. Love your videos !!!

[@gloriaquintanilla4640]

Great job on the candleholders, everything turned out great!

[@denisadellinger4543]

I love the music you use in your videos. It is so soothing and the choice finds you make have me interested in what you will do with them. To me, a lot of this stuff is just junk but to have an eye and find treasures is such a gift.

The Mexican silver ring looks like it has a foil glass stone in it. It was created to mimic opals. You found some amazing pieces!

[@tammieparrishmiller3669]

My favorite part of the video is Fuzzy kitty drinking out of the fountain! So adorable! I've been thinking about getting one for my 2 kitties, Romeo and Boo Boo. Oh, I love the skirt too! I'm so happy it turned out for you. It was calling your name and now it's perfect with your lace-up boots. I can't forget to mention how perfect your husband's birthday gift is for you! I want one! He did so good!

[@nathaliecruz3211]

That DQ collection glass is so sweet and cute story. You found some awesome pieces at amazing prices. Love the jewelry segment.

[@lisajoralemon4713]

You have such a good eye for things. Wish I could shop with you.

[@kellymyerson7904]

I love cats they do have to check everything coming through the door!!! I think you're going to have to water your fountain a lot because that cat is perfectly okay with drinking water from there. By the way you're so blessed to have a husband that loves antiquing as well

[@juleso9797]

True my fur baby is like an inspector, whenever we bring something new into our home he’s there sniffing at it 🤣😻

[@juliemariariley3212]

Your cap looks so great! Almost reminds me of a Greek fisherman's cap that I have! Only for winter though- it's kinda itchy wool! 😁 I see so many things in your videos that remind me of the things I grew up with- keep having fun and wishing you much success 🌻🌞

[@charlestonscnative9083]

Thanks for sharing this video with us! Great addition to my Saturday. 👍😀

[@katejackson6502]

The best videos!! Loved seeing Michele! For the wooden snack tower you could also use it for makeup storage and use the holes for brushes!! Or if staying with the snack theme perhaps a rolled napkin would fit in the holes and add colour! I love reworking jewelry as well ❤ I'm also obsessed with MCM and 70s Clothing!! This is just the BEST CHANNEL ON KZbin!

[@sheblyne]

That Ringo cap suites you perfectly and the colour is spot on for you! Your hubby has a good eye!

[@etoyeparkman1053]

The blue glasses match the set of glasses I got when I married back in 1977.

Laura… you never disappoint. My style is not the same as yours but I just love watching you! Can’t wait to see the sale! Keep doing you!!!! 😘

[@TheCraftyraven]

Wow so many great finds and prices! How sweet to get your boy a new fountain!

[@donnamcmillan6950]

The funny thing is that if I as an older person would have something like the mushroom salt and pepper set for which I used to have the matching pieces my children say oh look mom still has all her old stuff. She needs to get rid of all this stuff. But when Laura puts those old pieces in her home it looks fresh and cool!!!!

[@mmkeat393]

Candles turned out great! Loved the jewelry and the water fountain too! You might find a bowl to fit the humidor part of the pipe holder and then find skewers for the holes and use it for dipping sauces!

[@renee2415]

Love how the candle holders turned out. And love that little fountain

[@dorothyrobdau9626]

Much more fun shopping with a good friend! Michele is also talented; now you can enjoy the skirt that you liked, I am so glad that you brought home some projects to work on and to show us how it done. Thank you for a giggle of a time!

I want those candlesticks so bad, I have looked all over and can't find anything even resembling them. There are hardly any with the class tealight/votive holders! I don't know how you find all of this amazing stuff for so cheap, you are one lucky gal. Those candlesticks were ugly and you turned them into such beautiful mid century decor! You have an eye for detail, I see it in everything you do, when I saw the AFTER on your front porch makeover, I wanted to fly you into NY to do mine LOL..I could never envision that from what you started with, You get these ideas, like a Tuscan style outdoor space, and they come to life!! That takes a lot of talent and ability to see potential. You're incredible!
