my best shopping haul yet! | Visiting Canada's largest Antique Mall

[@maryhart637]

Yes....please let us go along with you upcycling your new little chest of drawers!!!

[@ashleybriggs1198]

“I could just make that” and then never do lmaoo relatable

[@c.pelletier1741]

I love that you have an appreciation for "old things" and the stories that they tell, and see the beauty in their imperfection. Beats HomeSense stuff any day.

[@laurajeansimons5212]

I am so happy to see that you got the vintage accordion lamp! I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!! Great score!!!

[@MorusRubra]

When I saw it in the video I thought it was her style, so when Danie actually bought it, yep, It was meant to be.

[@corricatt]

I think the dresser would look amazing if you keep the drawers as is, and paint the bod the same caramel color as your leather couch. I love the red ceramic bowl on it as it brings out the red in the drawers.. I hope I've described my vision so you can see it too 😌

[@pman2916]

"This kinda section brings me no joy" so polite😂 Your side table gives me Scottish bagpipes vibes. The colourful hanging thing, reminds me of a fish bowl and the colourful specs are fish. Love all you finds, especially that lamp!

[@DIYDanie]

They do look like specs of fish! Lovely imagination you have!

[@hollylavenderofficial]

I'm totally into the mix of DIY, self-made from artists, antique or vintage finds ... you're such an inspiration as well as authentic, always into improving, new experiences and generally explore ... and sure, cake & coffee are with me as I watch your video. Some habits are worth it. Thanks for another lovely addition to my Saturday-mood

[@DIYDanie]

I’d like some cake and coffee right now! The perfect addition to a Saturday watch!

[@SheilaMiller-od7qn]

I meant the classic hanging light with the chain - lol!!

[@heatheranne1582]

If you ever come down to Virginia, we have the Factory Antique Mall in Verona. It’s the biggest antique store in the US. It can be overwhelming, too, but it’s one story and tons of fun!

[@janetd4862]

Your line, “I can make that!” brought back memories….not necessarily good ones. My mother made all my clothes when I was a child. As I reached my teen years, I didn’t want ”homemade” clothes - I wanted cute things I saw at the mall. When my mom was willing to take me shopping, everything I liked was met with “I can make that.” Problem is, she never did! She made what SHE liked. My first purchase when I left home was a sewing machine. I usually made my own clothes because it was cheaper (and then I could have more for the same price). Nowadays, between my husband and I, we can make almost anything, but if I see something that speaks to me (and I can afford it), then I buy it. No remorse, no guilt. Sometimes instant gratification is the simple pleasure I need.

[@damogranheart5521]

My grandmother was born in the late 1800's. In her kitchen, she had that metal piece that attaches to the wall or a Hoosier cabinet and it has a spindle. She used her's to hold a spool of twine. A pair of ✂️ was tied to it. I use it now to hold a spool of cotton string in my kitchen. Perfect for tying up a stuffed rolled up roast! The first large wooden spool shape that you held up was used in a mortar as a pestle for grinding or pounding together large amounts of spices, 🌿 herbs, fruits, meats, or veggies. They are fun items! Liked the Gillian Anderson figure. I am looking for a Bewitched Barbie myself!

[@createbeautifulbeads]

Hey! You booped my duck! Lol and yes, it is one hell of a fireplace mantel. Thanks for showing it!

[@brittneyperry8026]

Danie, I'd be tempted to paint your dresser in a lacquer red. It would be the ultimate pop of red in your living room.

[@nicolemanukeu2598]

At first I started watching because it’s Danie, but I was thinking I was getting burned out of flea market videos all around lately. I’m glad I watched. Shopping with Danie is super fun, her personality makes shopping videos more personal and fun!

[@luminarygoddess8642]

It’s like shopping with a friend

[@DIYDanie]

awe thank you for saying that! I try to make it as fun as possible!

[@stephaniemarson5904]

Of course we want to watch you upcycle that chest of drawers! And go get a few more of those hangers for your necklaces... those are cool!

[@tricial4330]

I'm 61 (yikes!) and I LOVE pottery, wood bowls, and baskets. In fact, I am currently downsized so much that all I own at this point is in a 5 x 10 storage unit since I am renting a fully furnished tiny apartment waiting to move to another state. The only things I cannot part with are vintage and those 3 categories of beautiful items. I love your style, Danie. Thank you for sharing your enthusiasm and sense of fun. Have a great weekend!

[@lauramitchell6725]

I’m 65 and I LOVE pottery,wood bowls and baskets! Are there self help groups or rehab?When is the next meeting?

[@l.anthony1]

I can so relate! Am in the midst of downsizing my home and clearing my canvas shop of machines and materials in order to relocate 1000 km. You'll inspire me to keep on keeping on! All the best.

[@suziejames7510]

The glass lightshade is a vintage 1930's flycatcher lightshade. I remember lots of these growing up in the UK in the 1950's, my grandmother had one in her sitting room (the posh room you were only allowed into on Sundays or Christmas)

[@margaretorden7568]

Yes you’re right. I live in England and had a couple of these a long time ago . I was upset when I broke one soon after moving house and before I could get a ceiling rose with the special little hooks to hang it from.

[@Nasalkeihpos]

That book/drawer cabinet is very cool! Of course we want to see you upcycle it. I’d love to see it in a deeper or darker green or a cream - one of the other colours from your rock wall ❤

[@audreyorgan3821]

Omg. We go there quite often. We e gotten a lot of pieces that we have refurbished. Fabulous place. You can’t go home without something😀👍😱

[@audreyorgan3821]

We’ve gotten some of those slab pieces of wood too for projects

[@amyweaver7413]

When I saw the accordion light in the store I thought “I’d buy that if I was there”, and then you did buy it. LOVE it!👏❤️👏

[@janetboette7013]

The look on your face when you saw the wood slabs, priceless! I'd love to see refurbishment of dresser. Keeping wood drawer fronts, copper Color? Copper top? Can't wait

[@rebeccapotts133]

That first antique mall is the best. I actually live a hop, skip and a jump away from there. Can literally see it from my front door lol. I definitely want to see the makeover of the dresser. It looks so good in that spot. What a perfect find.

[@twilde3754]

I love the light fixture for your studio! Yes ma'am for accordion light and the dresser (upcycle! upcycle!). Great haul.

[@JordynRandall-d8h]

"Oh, I could make that..." ALL THE TIME!! Art prints... wood working... designs... Everything and then I facepalm months or years later when I realize that I don't have the time or energy to do ALL the projects...

[@loisthrift1688]

The 1930's Art Deco lampshade would have been suspended from the ceiling as a pendant light fitting, with the brown or black dual twisted cable hanging down through the middle of the chains and a bulb nestled within the shade itself. Great finds.

[@cindydean1840]

I think you should paint your new dresser like a flannel shirt🥰

[@LovesTheBeatles94]

I think you should come and visit the Hamilton Antique Mall next! 4 floors! I always find treasures when I go there :) one of my favourite places!

[@patriciag.6395]

Oh, can't believe you didn't get the candle fixture that can adjust length!!

[@pennynickels5216]

Oh, I loved that too!

[@alcg3981]

I thought 'Lawn Bowling' when first seeing the weighted pin of the 'set'! All are great finds . Imho😊

[@kellyhastings4785]

Danie, I think you should consider ‘hand building’ some pottery. Not to say you can’t still throw pots, but hand build in is totally in your wheelhouse and lends itself to a variety of forms. Check it out!

[@LadyPeridot]

14:27 … MY BOOTH! 💚🧚🏼‍♂️ thanks for stopping by and for the wonderful shoutout! Hope you enjoyed your visit to the best antique mall evaaaa 🥰 (booth 111 & 888 for anyone interested in checking them out!) also LMAOOO @ the checkerboard part. same girl… same. 😅😂💚🫶🏼

[@LadyLJOII]

The receipt spike was also used for cones or balls of twine or string. You would pull the amount you needed and cut it off.

[@jennbenest7388]

Awe you were in Woodstock, I live in Woodstock.. my husband and I love that place we've been multiple times.

[@DIYDanie]

Woodstock was fun!! Such a wonderful place to explore!

[@virtuitousvampire9371]

Also from Woodstock! I think she do a meet and greet next time she comes here.

[@annaworth286]

Hi Danie, I love your chest of drawers exactly as it is, the colours are perfect, and it looks as though it’s always been in your lounge. Please don’t change it 😢.

[@tinale22]

Absolutely love the scissors lamp! What a beauty 😍

[@centralWisconsin1]

i’m so glad you got that accordion arm wall light fixture. When you showed that on camera, the first time I thought, now that’s Danie! I also like that old pot at the very end of the video. It looks worn/weathered, well cared for, and shows a living history behind it too!

[@missuswing]

.That glass light you bought for your studio looks like a koi pond with all those orange blobs swimming around. Great haul!

[@l.anthony1]

I am 65 now and can really relate to visiting craft fairs and realising that I can make just about anything I see there if I wanted to. It gives me the great pleasure of buying discerning gifts for my loved ones while paying tribute to the creator. That dresser could look good in British Racing Green with IOD transfers on the drawers. Like your style.

[@jeannieeakin1374]

I’m right there with you Dani regarding the signs with words on them! I hate them!

[@sharonmakowsky172]

Oh, my God, Danie! At the beginning of your video when you were at the mall, you rang a brass bell! That is the same one my grandmother had when I was a child. When I went to her house I would play with it. What a great memory! That flamingo wallpaper was to die for! What a great place to shop! Hugs!👍🥰💜🌷

[@erinhurlock5521]

The third floor is totally my jam!

[@rosealvarado264]

Good morning all have a blessed day Woo-hoo shopping trip❤❤

[@LydiaBisland]

I kinda like the board game chest of drawers as is! But I’m also curious to see what you would do with it too 🤪

[@britt4104]

Oh my goodness!!! The way I am wanting those black and white containers with the red handles....I had an instant need for them!

[@SLily-rb6ji]

The chair with steampunk dog is so cool! however, i am in love with your console build. Just gorgeous!

[@vilkenstrutzutzutz]

Hahaha I ALWAYS go “I can make that..”, eeevery time!

[@lindasaav7364]

Love the pieces you brought home! Especially those tall wooden pieces and pot / vase at the end *swoon*. I would have brought home those blue wine glasses with gold details on them and some of those shells from your local shop! And from that large mall I actually would have bought some of those bones! I love weird kinda witchy things like that. Also, thanks editor for making me jump scare when you said "don't blink" and then a very quick image of the Weeping Angels popped up..

[@sandrae5609]

I’ve been watching you too long. I knew you were going to buy that accordion lamp. 😀

[@DIYDanie]

😁 🤷‍♀️❤️

[@TBYRDLEW]

Dani, I love you. You get me through laundry folding

[@trashpandapi9905]

That red topped bowl should go in the bathroom, it reminds me of a plunger. I love your channel.

[@fabulous_furious_feminist]

So ready! ☕️🧋😊

[@DIYDanie]

Yee haww 🤠🙌

[@angiejones7401]

That receipt holder would make a great curtain tie back!

[@denises9426]

Of course we want to see you upcycle the dresser! Love your channel. 🥰❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@tinamcivor2996]

When you showed the scissor lamp in the shop I thought "that would come home with me!" It will look great wherever you put it!

[@kristen13.]

I think painting the dresser a muted teal-green to tie in and brighten up with color!

[@charlenes212]

Painting the drawers in two grays like the stone art. Like the drawers a light gray and the frame a darker gray.

[@scarabvoodoo]

That lamp is the coolest....

[@70sMixTapes]

Upcycling the antique drawers.. what about graduated painted tones for the drawers? Perhaps shades of rust brown like your couch to a deep red drawer at the bottom.

[@teresaflores3704]

Thanks for taking us along 😋

[@jenineheller8054]

Looove your thrift hauls, would love to see the up cycle of the games chest of drawers! BUT I nearly had a heart attack when you were tossing around the black urn at the end. Like the same feeling when someone isn’t holding a newborn baby properly. After you just told us it wasn’t cheap and you were like just about juggling it 😂😂 had me on the edge of my seat! 🤣

[@tinakeil1950]

Love the receipt holder for jewelry. Another idea would be to use it as a twine or string and scissor holder.

[@jazziered142]

I am so glad you bought the accordion light, because when I saw it, I'm like you cannot pass that up!!! It's awesome.

[@Chelseaward-zz5mn]

Yes! Please show us your up cycle! I think a red would be very interesting for that console table.

[@imeldaestrada8896]

Everything in your living room is beautiful. I loved it all!

[@LadyGamerLoon]

I'm gonna be honest, at first I thought the butter churner was a pirate leg 😂😂😂 I think I may haul my bum over there for the nerdy stuff 😅

[@sandrakicklighter2735]

Totally agree about the signs. I have enough things telling me what to do, I don't want to give my walls that power as well.

[@stefBeuk]

I would keep the distressed drawers as they are, and only paint what now looks to be grey in a nice matching black to your console table. Love the haul. Great finds!

[@helen9073]

Congratulations on your antique haul! The console is a flatware chest. Yes, please consider strip it back to the natural wood.

[@martamanfrin5675]

Love everything you've found, but that black wall light 😍😍😍😍

[@litwin707]

Love your energy and enthusiasm, Danie.

[@sampow44]

lol the Voldemort face! I knew what you meant immediately and agree!

[@pennynickels5216]

I loved the chest, the accordion light and the receipt hooks. And of couse, the slabs of walnut!

[@kathyusa-iowa5137]

Like the 2 tall wood pieces the most. 👌 Yes, come along on the chest upcycle. 👍 When it came on screen I thought it looked like one you would like, so I was surprised that you kind of just passed it by! 😮

[@kristenbaik8162]

Love everything you got, everything is going to look so beautiful in your home! Little tip for your new necklace holder - small dollop from your glue gun to the tip with prevent any accidental pokes if you are worried.

[@amaiahperry]

BOOHBAH!!!!!!!!!! I loved those as a kid

[@jenkidoodlescreatesbysonja]

Your second find, the jar, looks like a ‘Gember Pot’ that’s the Dutch word for ginger jar. It was common to have one in the Nederlands. My mom had one and when I moved to the states from the Nederlands I took it with me.

[@jacquelinecasey1361]

I love the hanging glass globe and the expandable light. All were unique finds though!

[@KatieReadsKoziesAndMore]

My favorite piece was the accordion lamp. I thought you were going to put it down and walk away. I’m so glad it went home with you!

[@mezanian]

Mind the time zone difference, but girl you need to go to Japan. The vintage shopping, manga and etc will blow ya mind. Take us with ya😊

[@debrabell2604]

I do say I could make that. 😂 I love all the wood items you chose they are beautiful. The Glass hanging piece is wonderful it will look great anyway you display it. I'm glad you found things that you love, that's always fun😊

[@katrinlux826]

It’s so much fun going shopping with you.. you always love the different quirky things!! You found some great pieces… love how much you love things!!! And the editing with the little funny comments make me laugh. Just love your videos!!

[@imdebmccann]

YES, upcycle your new console piece! Def needs new hardware. Great finds!

[@sholle7]

I would love to see the chest of drawers up cycled. I think the color of your couch and black would look so pretty

[@GodessSiri]

Danie! I looked at that dresser in your living room and went: It's 90% perfect. Yes we want to see the upcycle. I think, if you can, keep the red drawer fronts but paint the case black - a slightly charcoal faded black.

[@j988980]

Nice finds! I particularly love the tall wood pieces, the black pottery and that expanding wall light...to die for! If you are looking for paint color ideas for the cabinet with drawers, what about leaving the drawers red to bring in more of that red color you like and painting the green part in black, but maybe a muddled charcoal black sort of like your new pottery vase.

[@sentme4774]

I love the little turquoise vase. A bunch of red roses would look beautiful in that piece.

[@stephaniemills5663]

Yes, would love to see your upcycle of the dresser! I LOVE it!!

[@cd2659]

The dresser is awesome. I like it the color it is. It just works in your space. Nice finds. My favorites are the tall wooden pins, the side table ❤, and the dresser.

[@bluefox99887]

That duck lamp made me think of the turtleducks in ATLA

[@TKloeveS]

You could find inspiration for your sidetable from the colours in the picture behind you/behind the couch. That blue-ish green for the body, the coral for the drawers and the brass frame could be the colours of the handles... You know... Ish... 😂 No matter what, I'm sure you'll make something beautiful out of it. ♥️

[@judymeow8646]

Oh myyyyy 🤯 There is so much to see... I am watching it for the second time now !!! (Although, I was getting a bit nauseous seeing the corner with dead animals) If you ever return there, please take us with you again, Danie❤

[@michellespettel1616]

I love the dresser exactly how it is… but I know whatever you do will look great too.

[@saraheaster8414]

The ceramic piece at 23:38 is an antique ginger jar from Asia, probably had a lid at one point. Beautiful haul! ✨

[@magietagie]

I would love to see you up cycle the dresser! I would like to see how you change it and how it looks in the end.

[@nohandle508]

I didn't expect Danie playing in the mall with rubber dinosaurs just like a kid would make me giggle so much.😂 Never change! And of course you are a Whovian, silly me :-)

[@Goosefang]

Love this episode! Not only all the cool stuff, but seeing all the cool stuff that you like that I also love!!

[@LadyLJOII]

I ❤️ the pottery, the glass light cover looks like orange goldfish are swimming around in it, and the black metal light fixture is perfect and the wonky leg table. The dresser is cool. Great finds.

[@pamstafford4613]

I didn't realize you were a Canadian girl! How did I not know this? I'm in northern Ontario, love your channel! I love the 3 leg table with the 1 different leg, worn and loved!!

[@LAWilliams77]

OMGuava! The flycatcher light shade!!! I’m now on the hunt for one to put in my kitchen. Thank you!!! Nothing I found fit the space…until I saw this!

[@emilydenny5276]

Of COURSE I want to see you upcycle the dresser/game cabinet on camera :D Also the accordion lamp just OMG, chef's kiss and all that jazz, perfection.

[@rebecarendell]

Whilst it's not the right green, that little set of drawers still looks great with the pop of colour, so maybe tie in the teal / eucalyptus colour from your pebble art?

[@antiquesrestoration3874]

Shopping vicariously thru you was so satisfying...and it cost me nothing!
