[@annawalker4225]

Your Italy trip sounds great but unfortunately I can’t afford to go plus we now have our 5 year old grandson living with us. So at 63 years old we are starting over raising a child

[@lizbrown7232]

I can relate, but you are doing important work. I helped with my twin grandbabies too! 👫

I absolutely loved your comment that "We're all a little broken". You're so right and it warmed my heart. Thank you for touching my soul today. Blessed be.

Laura the camel and palm tree are fabulous. Ohhhh Africa My ❤️

[@oldladylovesBruno]

MOROCCO!!!! I love Boho so Morocco would be a dream trip for me. Can't wait for your video! That lady candle holder not only had a broken wrist like you, but she enjoys wearing a hat too!

[@silk2949]

I almost booked your Italy trip but I was in Rome and Florence a few years ago and really want to do something new. I see someone else suggested an Oregon road trip…..I am definitely in for that! Washington state and/or Oregon would be excellent when led by Laura! Thanks from Canada 🇨🇦

[@leftcoastrevivals]

Stay tuned for a PNW trip! It’s down the road but in the works 😄 Also, we will be launching a fall trip with a new location in Europe! Stay tuned! 😘

[@silk2949]

I simply love Laura: She is very responsible when sharing - her findings, displaying it and some little information. The editing is not bad at all....- love

[@lindamcnamara7803]

My mom and dad got married and they were off to Morocco for two years. Dad was in the Navy. I have beautiful brass trays and more. This was mid 1950s. Mom or Ramona shared her favorite place Lisbon , Portugal. I was so excited to see you and Jesse show such a beautiful place. It made me think of mom and dad. Thank you so much.

[@cmarq817]

Living in Lisbon for 20 years. Beautiful city and light! Also very glad Laura and Jesse showed a bit of the city. Saudade!

[@lynnjames5039]

I made one of those hanging lights years ago mine was very large, it was a big thing for campers to make them. The more colorful the better. I actually think my daughter still has it, funny I haven’t thought of that for a long time, they take a very long time to make. But fun!

[@pigoff123]

Rome is nice but the smaller towns are amazing. 😅

[@leftcoastrevivals]

Rome isn’t nice… it’s ancient and incredible!! Smaller towns are wonderful too. Rome is one of the most unbelievable cities on this earth 😄 full of history, wonderful people and delicious food!

[@agomodern]

Those plastic lights with the colored plastic beads were planters turned into lights. I remember going camping during the 80's and there would be people decorating the outside patio of their motor homes with strings of them. You can see that the part on the underside is the planter tray. I think the pewter (I was thinking more like aluminum or something else.) candle holders are newer. Looks like that teak box with the tambour lid could have been for computer disks, something for like zip drives.

[@kimstahl6833]

I love how you set your table. You have great style. I throughly enjoy your videos, I learn something every video.

[@JeanTidd]

We owned a lighting showroom when making 'plant pot lights' was all the rage here in the 90's. I couldn't keep up with all the wire and chain and sockets my customers wanted for making them! Campers were the biggest customers. It was fun being in on a fad in that way.

[@katem3961]

Laura your videos are just so good! No unnecessary chatter, your filming is excellent, really steady camera work. I love the wide pan shots of all the shelves. Just can not say enough good. I don't get motion sickness from your utterly professional filming as I do with others 🤣 Congratulations on your spring fling, wish I could be a part but I live in Australia so not that easy to participate. However, I hope all that go have an absolute ball with you both. Have a wonderful trip to Africa too. 😃 💚🤍❤ 🐪🦒🐘🦏

[@nancyfrische4862]

My favorite place so far is Kenya. My Grandmother and My Uncle went to Kenya and it was on my list of places to go. Some day, South Africa and Victoria Falls. Have FUN!!

[@teresahiggs4896]

I love those,pewter candle holders!

[@tammieparrishmiller3669]

You have inspired me so much that I'm actually getting my van set up to travel the US in search of vintage finds while seeing the countryside. I have all the solar I could possibly need and air cond., fridge, microwave, even a shower, and toilet! My husband is a carpenter, so that's how it all came together. I see your trip is booked! That's going to be epic! I wish I could go! I want to meet you one day. Thanks for all you do! You Rock!

[@leftcoastrevivals]

What an exciting adventure!!! Oh the memories you’ll make 🥰 We we’re blown away how fast the trip sold out! Already in talks about hosting a second one back to back 🙌🇮🇹 Will you be filming your cross country thrifting?

The pottery is raku fired and thrown into sawdust. Beautiful piece ❤️

[@wandatreon1776]

Hi Laura, love watching. FYI the roll top box was used for storing cassette tapes. Please forgive if someone has already shared this info. :)

[@gailjordan9170]

Wow. Your Goodwill is like a high end boutique. Beautiful things.

[@crystalsdance]

Love the pitcher from Portugal. When we were in the UK and Ireland, we hit thrift stores there. It was fun to buy special pieces for very little money. I found a silk Ireland scarf covered in clovers in Scotland. I found Waterford in London. And, I found a few English pieces here and there. I highly reccomend always shopping thrift stores when traveling. Such fun, and you find more unique pieces.

[@kimkelly2442]

watching you thrift and stage is so enjoyable

[@potsylvania]

Ceramic candle holder is a raku fired piece. You can tell by the " smoked" effect on the bottom.

[@debraday5682]

Yes! That’s a raku piece.

[@leftcoastrevivals]

I had no idea! I thought Raku was always darker and even noticed a little bit of the finish was dark and shiny like typical raku but didn’t realize! Thank you so much for pointing this out!

[@gaildilbeck6399]

That roller box was for floppy discs ,

[@hnycreek]

That candle holder!!!! I bet both of them came from the same home. Love them and of course the hand painted plates!

[@leftcoastrevivals]

I agree! Both likely donated together 😍

[@jenniferfujii9989]

The Picasso and the lady candle holder both look like they are Raku pottery. Keep them out of the sunlight as the colored metal glazes can oxidize.

[@sallyward3791]

Love the Scandinavian candle holders. It doesn't really matter if they are vintage or not....it's the look!! ( I didn't know if you were going to yet or not...so YOU). Going to Africa, take a double dose of Oil of Oregano and Olive Leaf Extract by Nature's Way. They are anti' viral. Fr Lenden Smith told me that he and his daughter really packed in a lot of vitamins on their trip...45 years ago.

[@thewarpandweave5538]

A silver cuff (adapted from something you thrifted) would hide the repair to the candle lady's repaired wrist and give her some bling.

[@junebennett978]

The Silver items looks like little plant stands! Thank You!

[@innerding]

Hi there great finds, the wooden plate with painted flowers is a vintage piece from Mexico. I had a whole collection on a wall at one time.

[@ReneesNest91]

I would put the teak box in my kitchen as a small vintage bread box! Or stack them and put spices inside

When I saw that camel piece I thought of Africa too. I loved it. We went to Egypt…it was more than amazing. There were 4 of us. I have been to Europe so many times. I love it there too. Love travel and do it as much as I can. I organize all my own trips.

Oh my... 🙄 Those lovely heart shaped brass candle sticks ! I could just kick myself...🙁 Last week I came across ONE. Mid section in the shape of a christmas tree. 🎄 (At about $3.00. Roughly 8 inches high. And hand made). Now I don't collect brass items. But it was SO beautiful ! Thinking "who'd want to receive this as a gift" ? A tiny voice in my head was screaming "I would" !!! Ignoring that, I left it on the shelf.... I should have remembered ; Some day you'll find a match... LAURA USUALLY DOES ! 😭
