THIS WAS AN INCREDIBLE DAY!! | Thrifting For Resale | Thrift With Me

[@lesliespradley8897]

I have had my grandfathers chair since he passed away in 1987. It has gone everywhere with me,college,first apartment,first home after getting married and thru 7 more moves. It is still with me in our”rest of our lives” home. I finally felt like my skills had developed enough to reupholster it. Well, as I was pulling off the fabric on the back an old envelope fell out. I almost fainted when I opened it. It was full of hundred dollar bills. There were three more that had fell to the bottom😲🥹😁He lived thru the depression and used to bury his money in mason jars in the back yard so I guess I shouldn’t have been surprised… but I was😃🥰

[@wolfysays6311]

Glad you didn't leave the chair behind during one of the moves! Loyalty pays off!

[@lauralake7430]

Holy Buckets! What a story!

[@leftcoastrevivals]

Whoa!! So glad you kept it around and decided to reupholster it!!

[@mariaroldan4200]

Wow this is a story to share with the world! Unreal!!! Absolutely lucky that you did not get rid of it! ❤

[@leisahammonds4479]

Did you ever dig in his backyard?

[@dwagnerful]

Hello Laura & Jesse! Any chance you will give us a current tour of your home? Loved to see what you've done and what you're planning!

[@leftcoastrevivals]

We’ll keep sharing parts of the home as we update the spaces 😄 We made a wonderful decision to take the last 1.5 years off remodeling to travel the world after exhausting ourselves with the complete renovation of our first home that we did all on our own and getting the major spaces in this home completed. 🙌 We’ve been sharing any “forever finds” in our videos as we find them and show them in the spaces 😊 We’re not quite sure when we’ll get back to renovations but we’ll post about them as soon as we do!

[@clairevagonis1873]

I really love how you put the light in that shell. It’s very imaginative, creative and you’re right. No one else will have it. You should keep it.

[@SurvivalAussie]

Hey Laura, I found my Bitossi finaly !!! 2 x Orange and white jars, with timber lids. $10 for both. Woo Hoo

[@leftcoastrevivals]

What a score!!! Congrats 🎉

[@treeannie8831]

Yay you!!! I’m still searching!

[@Sue-we1qo]

Hi, the wooden mould would be for shortbread. Scottish butter shortbread, traditionally made at Christmas time.

[@xantu4444]

Years ago, I got one of those little brass dishes with the lady and her darling little bottom. Mine had been handled so much that her bottom was smooth and shiny. I was amazed to hear she has some value.

[@persnicketyliving]

That clam shell light is ahhhhmazing!

[@arlenelovelace18]

I love your creative clam lamp!

[@katem3961]

Ohhh, your finds, Laura and Jesse. Love the clam light concept so much. I was amazed at how much I actually liked the taller brown lamp after you added the shade, I am more Art Deco or Victorian/Edwardian for lamps/light fixtures. I also absolutely love boxes and trinket holders, etc. You have an amazing eye, Laura. Your staging is second to none. Always drool over your vintage clothing finds. Thank you so much, guys ❤

[@claudiamansour7058]

I'm sitting here in Germany at 2:00 o'clock in the morning and one of the first to watch Laura Caldwell... My absolute favorite!

[@reynisdottirherdisrosa3368]

1.00 in Iceland 😊

[@leftcoastrevivals]

You both made me smile so big! Hello to Germany & Iceland!!

[@sandraholeman1708]

Laura & Jesse, the brass clam shell lamp looks AWESOME ❣️❣️❣️I always love your videos, thanks😊❤

[@leftcoastrevivals]

Thank you! It was so unexpected to find it! 🥰 Glad we splurged!

[@AbbeGold]

I love boxes!

[@elizabethparkhurst2824]

That is the ideal shade for that lamp!!!

[@vanessaherron5203]

I love that you and Jesse are now traveling together on every video, I’m so enjoying you both. May I say, Jesse has dreamy eyes, I know you already know this. ❤ Love the car conversation, really fun👍👍

[@leftcoastrevivals]

Haha thank you!! And he sure does 😂💙 Thanks for hanging with us in the car! 🚙

[@marihawkes-vail4605]

you too both look adorable today! and you made me laugh in Maine Goodwill alot of the carts also SUCK

[@mkeerkens]

The oyster shell with the light inside looks amazing!! I love it!

[@amyweaver7413]

What a lovely day shopping. I grew up on the west coast of Canada and love it in fall too.

[@gramnenew6196]

Love, love the clam light! It was very fun watching the idea come to life between you two. I so wish my hubby was game to tag along for some antique shopping. You are blessed Laura……..and, so are you Jesse! ❤

[@rosivanwinkle5532]

I have found several years ago in a backpack about 20 dairy Queen tokens. My grandkids loved the free cones

[@MariaFrancesca]

I, too, have an absolute obsession with old boxes and also have a big collection of them. I love Tramp Art/Folk Art boxes and especially if there are hand written inscriptions on them. My favorite is a hand painted box, dated 1918 where someone had penned a whole love poem on the bottom. Another one is a pencil case signed by both a father in 1928 and his son in 1965. I just love those little written messages from the past. You seem to find these kind of inscriptions most often on old boxes and in old books, and I collect both. Very envious of your studded find 🙂

[@elizabethwhite196]

Another great episode!Funny how you started out with the defective carts. I’m notorious for finding the worst cart that needs a wheel alignment or has the worst squeak or rhythmic thunk! My husband or kids can usually find me in any random store by tracking down the annoying sound!😂 Loved the brass clam. Always a fan of brass. It was really hot in the 70s when we got married and I’ve loved it ever since.Ah oh- showing my age! I think anything organic even if it represents nature is a cool thing to have in your home. Looks great so far. I’ve actually seen little round light bulbs that sure would look like a pearl if that’s the look you’re still going for. Been enjoying your little blooper filming at the end. You guys are so fun! A pleasure to watch!❤

[@dwagnerful]

Love the clam shell. Use an LED light bulb and you can paint it with pearl white paint!

[@vickimanzano2976]

A few little sprinklings is where I think you were going with that lol! Great fun!

[@terryolson-l8e]

That view of the scenery was absolutely amazing..thanks for showing us!

[@CarolSassen]

Absolutely love the clam light gorgeous 😍

[@AbbeGold]

I like the studded box the best.

[@Sarah-pc6sc]

I was just about to go thrifting for clothes today and I said nope wait until I get my winter clothes out first and see what I have.

[@leftcoastrevivals]

Yes!!! Great job! 👏

[@wendymorrison5803]

The Anthropologist skirt would be awesome made into a couple of totes. And the Thistle, a shortbread press.

[@katiebini6064]

You two are adorable! My husband and I are 6 months shy of our 20th wedding anniversary. I look at you two and think “Couple Goals!” You guys have such a beautiful and pure relationship! The neatest thing about it is that you guys go and do these things together. Many couples have their own friends and hobbies that they don’t share with their spouse. I really do believe that the secret to a loving and fulfilling marriage is to take some plays out of your book! Because my dear you two are paving the way for others to see what partnership in a marriage looks like and how wonderful that can be!! You two are a breath of fresh air! Thank you for sharing your love and life with all of us❤ I live in Iowa but my daughter goes to college in Eugene. I sent her money so she is going to come to your pop up event this weekend!!! I can’t wait to hear all about it. I’m excited for her to go to one of your events! I talk about you all the time so she knows how much It means to me that she’s coming to the show! Have the best time ever ❤️

[@claudia.and.Evelyn]

I love it so much when you do the Oregon coast. I have a cousin in Astoria, have shopped the Wheeler antique store many times and was born in Tillamook but lived out in Pacific City. The last time I was at the Tillamook Goodwill, I had my mother with me and she had so much fun with me paying for whatever she found. She’s passed on now and I’m so happy to have that memory.❤️

[@leftcoastrevivals]

I'm so glad you enjoyed the Oregon Coast thrifting, it's a special place to shop! So sorry for your loss ❤️ What a beautiful memory! 🤗

[@joanneScott-r4l]

I love boxes,also.

[@clairevagonis1873]

I just bought some stuff from a lady on Etsy and we got the messaging and I told her how much I love your channel and love watching you and Jesse Peck and I’ve learned so much from you. I’m older than you but I’ve been going to thrift shops, my whole life, flea market antique stores I’ve collected so many different things. My house is very eclectic my husband actually a cabinet maker carpenter. He can fix anything. He has made so many things for our house like butcher block leg just gorgeous stuff anyways she said you were like her idol she lives in Oregon and sells on Etsy and she said she watches you all the time so I thought that was funny. I hope you read this.

[@rosemarydent5805]

I love love the large bowl and the brass treasure box. I would of bought those xxx sending love from the uk x

[@nancycarr319]

The clam shell is beautiful!❤️

[@conniekirby851]

Wow what beautiful scenery! My favorite was the clam! Before you decided to get I was saying buy it, buy it, buy it! 😮😊

[@AnneSmith-mu2ph]

Love the shell it’s beautiful ❤️❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@MailboxMemoriesAshli]

Hello, my name is is Ashli and I am also a box addict. Can never have too many boxes!

[@leftcoastrevivals]

🙋🏻‍♀️ box addict club

[@rosalynbaggett6049]

Great idea with the clan shell. I have a collections I started around 1968. Some have value, some have sentimental value and some just have the memory/ fun just liked them. I think my most special is made from a stack of silver coins from Indian that have a removable screw off top. The center is hollowed out so you can see both sides of the coins on top and the coin on the bottom. I know, it sounds confusing but it terrific!

[@ldk5149]

LOVE the planter with the pandas. Too cute. The shell lamp is AMAZING!! Man, you have a such an amazing eye and mind.

[@Riversmom1111]

The shell light is so cool !!! Also love that sometimes you don’t mind spending some extra money to support other sellers and find something really unique! You guys are the best ! Thanks for the video! 😊

[@gerripeter484]

Hi Laura and Jesse love you two shop together and I think your greatest find was the brass shell l love it and putting a light in the middle is absolutely awesome. Laura, I like that you teach us about what you find. I’ve learned so much from you. You have great style. Hope you do well in your pop-ups shop.

[@KimiLee-v1v]

That clam light is perfect Perfect just the way it is. Don't change a thing.

[@normablake2748]

The clam light steals the show! Keep doing you ❤

[@maximeshasha2170]

Luv the “Clam Shell Lamp”… wow.. great idea 😮

[@melissaj8384]

That brass clam shell is AWESOME.

[@laurieboughfman5727]

Shaking my head at Jesse and the doll. I have a similar doll that I carried everywhere 65 years ago. Her name is Sleepyhead. She was well loved. Actually, it was quite funny! Thanks for the video treat on Halloween! Shell light is fabulous!

[@amyweaver7413]

I love the clam shell lamp idea!

[@gretchenyuchym4126]

Great show today, always fun to go to the coast. I'm originally from Portland, I will be visiting the first of November. I have found a small strainer, that I think would be good for your handful of blueberries. I'll get in touch with you when I'm in town.

[@maryeliason1504]

Beautiful sky & road trip.

[@rosivanwinkle5532]

The little soap dish😊

[@christinaslocum8761]

The brass clam is the bee’s knees! You must let us see its transformation! It’s gorgeous. I’ve had the flu for 4 days and you both have cheered me up so much today.

[@kassandraramirez-buck192]

Fabulous idea with the brass clam!

[@tokyotique]

Ooooo the glaze on that massive white bowl😍Fabulous!

[@leftcoastrevivals]

It’s so amazing! I can’t wait to use it for thanksgiving 😄

[@lauralake7430]

Consider rub n buff for touching up the metal on the tension pole lamp. Its reversible if you dont like it, and has multiple gold/ brass colors that can be mixed so you can get the absolute perfect tone. Then if you wax the rest of the lamp, it protects the rub n buff touch up, ( rub n buff is made of pigment in carbenuba wax) and the original metal.

[@wendybeauman93]

Love the clam shell lamp…..wonderful

[@lovematters7515]

The brass clam shell turned into a lamp is such a cool idea..I love it ❤!!

[@Keira_I_AM]

I love watching you find "treasures"! The clamshell lamp is so great and just needs an old vintage low watt bulb to be a soft glow (nightlight). I am also a box addict and give many away as the box to hold a gift, making it a two part gift. Thank you Laura and Jesse for bringing us along on your fun trips!😍

[@maryeliason1504]

I love trinket boxes. They are practical & precious & great gifts.

[@PatSimmons-g4r]

Delightful, as always.

[@danacunliff2618]

Love the clam light. Great show

[@DeborahDuval-tx6up]

Love love love the clam! I’ll be haunting the first friday sales to see it finished!

[@bishkahunter7197]

The shell…..wonderful

[@tonidunkinson1826]

Looove the pearl lamp!!!

[@janhaley1212]

The lamp is beautiful with the light in it!

[@SandraElder-e9i]

Maybe a battery operated light in the clam shell?

[@sherylkelly7022]

love watching the Laura & Jesse thrifting "mix"...much love from Canada

[@leftcoastrevivals]

We’re so grateful for your support!! Hope you have fun hanging with us in todays video!!!

[@rosivanwinkle5532]

Can't wait to see it as a light

[@DeborahDuval-tx6up]

Love, love the brass shell! Can’t wait to see it on first Friday! I’ll be haunting the sale to see it first!

[@dawnbrown9898]

I can't wait to see your new show, Devaluing Vintage! 😂🤣 That oyster shell looks so cool as a lamp. ❤❤

[@katherinebaer6798]

Love the brown late! The shell is amazing!

[@diannebaker7552]

love your convo. so easy going

[@mariaroldan4200]

I spent 3 week on the Oregon coast and the rain and the wind were incredible, even on sunny days! It was like getting microdermabrasion!

[@lorettavalmorbida7793]

You guys had so much fun. That is special.

[@Birdieheart]

I got so excited when you showed the bridge to Astoria, we always visit this place when we go to see my mom. Also we took our kids to see the house the Goonies kids filmed in. Such a special place. I had to visit all the antique store from there and scored a sterling silver many rings bracelet from Mexico for 35 !

[@conniepharr7426]

Absolutely love the lithograph, the colors are amazing and then the large white and cream bowl that has such great free form and flow.

[@kittydodge5754]

I enjoy collecting boxes as well. I enjoyed that you had the vision and Jesse was able to execute your idea. Great clam lamp! I look forward to your videos. Thank you!

[@rosivanwinkle5532]

Love the clam light,it's just unique

[@LynnBoland-jl6pb]

Omg! That doll! 😂😂😂

[@JaniceCoyne]

Absolutely love the shell lamp!!!!

[@marybrand1977]

Like the shell light.

[@debbiehines6803]

The oyster light is amazing.

[@chriscarlson1237]

Love love the light in the clam!!!!

[@louisesemrani6860]

❤❤❤ great finds as always 🦘❤️🐨

[@cerisewilson4088]

Love the clam shell light!

[@cliokoutzoumis]

I can’t believe how cute the clam shell lamp turned out! I also love boxes.

[@janemahan2663]

I bought a burgundy beret in Reclamation Marketplace a couple of weeks ago and looked at the belt buckles! I had an amazing fresh tuna melt just around the corner from there. Astoria is a great little town.

[@Lomie32]

Love the clam light, I wasn’t entirely convinced as it was originally, but a light? Yes!

[@carolyn97419]

Love the shell. Please show it after you add the light in it. And the lithograph too. ❤❤❤

[@lisaglassford9574]

Love the clam light. 😊

[@maryb5745]

The brass clam shell lamp…it’s such a fun and beautiful idea!!! My goal is to find a shell now 😊👏

[@beverlygrimmett8749]

I would love to visit the Oregon coast someday.....looks awesome.....I love Bryan Adams....go Jesse....

[@leftcoastrevivals]

I hope you get to someday! It's really beautiful and very laid back

[@oliviallado3621]

My concern for the beautiful clam lamp is it is sitting on a book that might get too hot and burn. It's better to place it on something metal.

[@charlenegirouard901]

Wow I’m so excited your space already looks great

[@mariedodds6307]

One of the things I love about your Oregon videos is looking at the beautiful countryside you have and the pretty towns you visit. I was thinking as you host trips abroad why don't you and Jesse consider hosting an Oregan trip for people from outside the USA to come and experience the beautiful places you have locally. I think that could be a great way for you to share your local knowledge and help local business too! Just a thought 😊

[@rikkemeek1506]

Your booth set-up for the pop-up looks amazing. Thanks for another great video😊 Love the clam lamp.

[@leftcoastrevivals]

Thank you!! 😄 Finishing touches on it tomorrow 🎉

[@treeannie8831]

That gorgeous clamshell is my fave, especially since the JessMan fixed it into a one-of-a-kinder! ❤❤❤

[@AnneSmith-mu2ph]

Hi happy Friday sending love Ann 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️❤️❤️

[@MaryObi-v5d]

Guys! Sometimes you two stress me out! I was holding my breath with that clam situation. It was like a movie, I was on the edge of my chair. Thank goodness you got it! ❤

[@SandraElder-e9i]

Yes! Fun! Good luck selling this weekend!

[@shealenemattucci7530]
