Hello, The "garlic keeper" is actually a garlic cooker. Take the top and put it in water. Take the whole bulb of garlic and cut about a quarter or a third off the top off. Put the bulb on the bottom piece, then dig the top piece out of the water and put it over the top. Stick the whole thing in the oven at around 350, for about an hour. It is delicious on a toasted baguette all on it's own or with some cheese, like Brie. I had one for years. Enjoy!!!

[@nysunflower9439]

You should put a little olive oil and a pinch of salt on top

[@andrealencione9298]

Hi Danie. That barrister book case could be a real treasure. If you aren’t aware of her already, you should reach out to Angie , who has a KZbin channel called Transcend Furniture specializing in repairing and refinishing furniture. She does absolutely amazing things with veneers that are in rough shape. Good luck and I can’t wait to see what you’re able to do with the book case.

[@therewillbecatswithgwenhwyfar]

I think that would've had to come home with me. I don't have anywhere to put it either but I would've found some place because oh my God those things are beautiful but to know this is at least vintage impossibly antique just because it that much more of a draw for those of us who are into things like that 😁

[@HAGGISWOOMAN]

I inherited one just like it, I treasure it and keep my music globe/boxes in it, love it ❤️

[@lindseyrose05]

I love Angie!!!

[@kathysantos2594]

Definitely reach out to Angie! She does amazing veneer work

[@peggyboss1925]

The first thing I thought was “Talk to Angie from Transcend”, lol. Also, I’m happy that you’re so happy with your finds. Well done.

[@jennifereccles8855]

Such a great video, I love a good estate sale! The triangular little bracket looks like the base to a fountain pen stand. They often have a little cup on a swivel that screws onto a base, to hold the pen upright and prevent ink mess. Since you found pen nibs in the drawer thats what makes the most sense to me! 😅

[@lovingmayberry307]

Exactly what I thought! 👍

[@DearGabby]

So smart, I was thinking a pencil sharpener 😂

[@KristenGuyDesign]

@@DearGabbyme too!

[@therewillbecatswithgwenhwyfar]

Danie, I just want you to know how much I appreciate your openness about your own mental health struggles because I think we feel less alone when we know that there are others traveling the same path.

[@DIYDanie]

❤️❤️❤️ we are not alone in our mental health. Sharing is the only way we can drop the negative stigma around it xx

[@PhoenixRose1095]

I knew it! Once you showed the paper cabinet, I knew you were going to end up with it! lol

[@tngirlz4622]

How wonderful that these peoples’ cherished things were given the chance to find new homes instead of being carted off to a landfill. Looking forward to seeing you restore the barrister’s cabinet and paper cabinet!

[@vmpapillon8984]

The Japanese print is an old museum poster from a museum in Switzerland :-) The previous owner must have bought it im the museum shop on a trip, how cool! Love reprints of woodblock prints too, especially by hokusai and hiroshige & eisen.

[@catherinesommer3648]

Your Sun pattern bowl was made by Midwinter Potteries in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, England, in the 1970's - becoming more and more collectible! A great find.

[@staceysarah_xo]

Came here to find this comment because I'm from the potteries 😆 and when she said Stratfordshire I was like 🤔 I don't think that place exists haha

[@audreyklein1739]

My parents had that pattern when they got married in the early 80s. I’m pretty sure my grandmother picked it out. My mom always hated it so when they remodeled their kitchen in the mid 90s, it was the perfect opportunity to get new stuff. And who got the sun pattern dishes? My grandmother…she happily took them. One woman’s trash is another woman’s treasure.

[@lenalernova]

I love finding notes and random bookmarks in second hand books I buy, because they tell a bit of the book’s history and its life with its previous owner. So much so that I make a point of leaving my bookmarks in my books once I finish them (random tickets, coupons, whatever I used) so they may once tell a story to someone else about the book’s life with me. Is that weird? Well I love it.

[@wyndward]

The bracket on top of the box might be for mounting a small easel. This video post is a terrific fun interlude between your DIY projects and the garage build. Thanks for sharing!

[@mommab1969]

I always find it so sweet to see younger people seeing the things of my childhood and appreciating them in a whole new way. We had a kitchen witch and she did have a broom. It was a joke gift for my mom whose nickname rhymed with witch. The brown soup dishes. The barristers cabinet and artist/architect paper storage cabinet are chefs kiss! Oh my, that lantern is beautiful!!

[@TamarLitvot]

Perfect comment! I grew up with old books jammed into barrister cabinets because my parents bought everything, books and furniture, secondhand. They weren’t viewed as antiques in our house of 4 rowdy kids. But we all loved reading so books and bookcases got a lot of use and still held up.

[@kimmie-kat]

Same here

[@ArtByDesign80]

8:07 this unlocked a hidden childhood memory I have not thought about for decades! Pretty sure we had one of these when I was a kid.

[@TamarLitvot]

@@ArtByDesign80 My sister gave me one of these in about 1986 and I had it hanging in our kitchen for many years.

[@betsysanders4524]

Hahaha my nickname rhymes with “witch” too! 😂😂😂

[@InsideCenterDani]

The Odd Shoppe sign in the basement would be a perfect sign for the new work shop.

[@debbiegodinez2119]

Something about Dannies energy in this video had me crushing! Love seeing her have so much fun!

[@susanprendergast7384]

I think that therapy is working!

[@tracygarrett3952]

Absolutely. She had me totally engaged throughout and I was sorry it had to end.

[@quiltingtothenines4254]

I LOVE when you start talking in an English/Scottish accent. You are a very clever storyteller.

[@mrscb5303]

When I saw that cabinet in the first home, I literally yelled at the tv (yes I’m old I watch KZbin on a tv) you have to get that Dani!!! I’m thrilled you did 😁 All the treasures were so fun, it’s nice to see old items finding new homes and not being tossed. Can’t wait to see that barrister cabinet refurbished! 🧡🖤🧡

[@deloreslowndes762]

Fill your chintz bowl with clear resin with a little fish in it.

[@m.maclellan7147]

I would use it for a fruit bowl.

[@twilde3754]

Danie, that is a kitchen witch, no question. Please show the transformation of the cabinet!!! Love the Garden Magic book -- woowee! I think the triangle thing might be (once was) a pencil sharpener (maybe). Great finds, Danie!! Good eye 🧐

[@cdpmusic]

that was my thought as well - pencil sharpener :)

[@debmeyer1977]

I also thought pencil sharpener! But then she opened the drawer, and there wasn't a separate space for shavings, so... idk.... with Danie, it could be anything!

[@darrenbrand1554]

Your tshirt is a play on the tourism advertising for Virginia from the 70's...Those books are beautiful!!!

[@cesrelawrence-towner9453]

Danie, the threaded hole on the box is for a travel easel. That was originally a student paint box for trips. If I remember correctly while they were used in Europe for many years they didn't gain popularity in North America till the Hudson Art revival era.

[@magietagie]

I am really looking forward to seeing you flip the cabinet! Though, I was thinking if you kept it, it would make a great display case for collectables! Action figures and such!

[@Lky.Ginger]

The wooden art box hole is SCREAMING pencil sharpener to me!

[@2touchme2]

Maybe the triangle on the box used to hold a pencil sharpener?

[@olbird7647]

Was just about to say this- glad I checked first 😅

[@judithbartnik593]

I believe that odd "knife" you found in the basement is actually a scythe for cutting grass and weeds by hand. I remember my dad having one on our farm many years ago. I think you could use the two little speckled bowls for soup. Love your paper cabinet. Wish I had room for something like that as I make all my own greeting cards and have tons of paper to store. Great finds! Thanks for sharing!

[@lindsaygautier2780]

The “awls” actually look more like tools for carving wood or linoleum in printmaking! Awesome finds 😊

[@KristenGuyDesign]

I hope Danie does another make art with me episode those are fun in between all her amazing DIY build projects!

[@Sandra-lk5yt]

That floral, black bowl screams pet food or water bowl to me rather than a planter. Lovely finds. I love giving cherished things a new home, estate sales are pretty special 😊✨

[@coloredcaboosecreations]

Oh no She’s caught the estate sale bug watch out! Thanks for sharing your finds I love watching this kind of stuff. Here’s a tip when cleaning older white ceramic/ porcelain items like the cherub bowl you can fill it with hot water and drop in a denture cleaning tab. let it soak overnight. Also works great for stained coffee cups.

[@abr369]

I'm so glad you got the barrister's cabinet!! It's such a shame that you're not keeping this, but your mother-in-law will love it. That paper-drawer thing - PERFECT!! I'm so happy for you Danie.

[@StephBer1]

I remember getting that "Goodbye Cruel World" joke curio when I was about 6. I'm now 60. My crazy great aunt bought it for me at a shop when I laughed at it. I thought it was weird and wonderful and I loved seeing people's reactions when they opened it. And if you didn't get that paper cabinet I would have taken a plane from Australia to Canada just to bop you on the nose for being a bad girl! 😂 It was wonderful before but after seeing the special top, I'm just in love, you lucky thing.

[@MsJulietG]

I could not have passed up all that beautiful pottery in the 2nd sale! As a fellow stationery lover, that pencil box is amazing! I wonder...is the triangle on top of the box a pencil sharpener?

[@originalseason]

That's what I was thinking too! Looks like a pencil sharpener

[@yellowpillpeople4745]

it might pop out. I had a pencil box similar to it and the pencil sharpener would pop out

[@dharmainthefalls]

I LOVE that you will treasure that paper cabinet as much as the woman who received it as a gift from her husband! That is the true message here in recycling and loving treasures from our and others pasts :)

[@lindamilligan3622]

I knew that with the glimpses of the barrister’s cabinet and the blue map cabinet-I just knew you wouldn’t be able to resist ( I wouldn’t have either) Great finds!!

[@vickinoeske1154]

The round bowl with the yellow circle in the bottom, that pattern was my first set of dishes in the mid 1970's. I loved them! I had a kitchen with harvest gold appliances.😅🤣😂

[@virtuitousvampire9371]

When grandma fell I literally had a heart attack. Thank god she was ok! 👵

[@sheepnhaystacks]

That paper storage cabinet is AMAZING!! By far an awesome find! I also love the ceramic egg bowl and the lantern. I'm a total lantern girlie. Lol. Thanks for taking us along!

[@Johanna.EG.]

You found a kitchen witch! My grandma had one, and now I have it.

[@FosterGoodness]

Danie, you are a rockstar! You hair is looking so good.

[@giannareal]

Oh that second house was like my dream house. All the kitchen stuff, the art studio and the workshop for my husband 😉... The fact that the husband made the paper cabinet for his wife showed how much each other care and enjoyed their hobbies. But it's also kinda sad seeing how the life possessions of a person/couple just are sold in pieces. At least a keen soul like you Danie had the chance to visit and keep some pieces and its good juju for your home.

[@FloatOn23]

So glad we got to go with you during these estate sales! As weird as this sounds I can imagine the old library smell of these houses with all antique wood furniture and things and its kinda bittersweet these people have to part with all of their precious things they collected throughout their lives but I’m also so glad you got some awesome pieces that your going to give new life too!! 🧚🏼‍♀️✨

[@afroborilafemme]

Danie you def need that kitchen witch to help ward off any bad juju salt granny is going to bring you for dropping her 😂

[@DIYDanie]

😂😂😂

[@Euonym.]

THAT PAPER CABINET IS EVERYTHING

[@mrsdsdesk]

The triangle piece on the box is for attaching to an artist easel. And as far as that floral bowl- just ship it to me! It’s gorgeous!!! I think it would make a beautiful water fountain/bird bath for the greenhouse.

[@jessicastevens5782]

kitchen witches were in every gift shop in the 70s. there was also a questionable girl scout craft where you made a witch head from an apple left to shrivel

[@Glim246]

"Questionable girl scout craft"😂🤣 I totally remember that trend. Okay girls...today we are making shrunken heads....do not have nightmares tonight.

[@SerynHaingrund]

I felt in love with the blue cabinet the first moment you showed it in your video and i'm so happy you adopted it!

[@lovingmayberry307]

It would be really easy to make a broom for your kitchen witch from sticks and twigs. And she should always be hanging somewhere in the kitchen so she can chase away evil spirits in flight. 🧙

[@blackcatproductions3]

I can't believe you found a kitchen witch! Aww...we had one hanging in our kitchen window in the 70's (it seemed like everybody did) and she was so cute. And at 10:05 Granny was "off her rocker" hee hee. Boy what treasures you found. And as usual Danie, thank you for all the joy and humor you bring us each Saturday morning! 🧡🧡🧡

[@Katrit08]

My grandpa was a cobbler up until he passed at 89. Those leather tools he would have had a fit over. I wish he could see them!

[@katelynnnguyen8787]

The rose/floral pattern bowl that has a little chip can hold a clear glass vase with some aquatic patho plant so you can still see those pretty flowers!

[@mellissarondinelli9682]

Great finds! That last house was amazing I love that their items will live on in your house. That paper cabinet though ... chef kiss

[@susandickerson2663]

I believe the garlic keeper is actually a garlic roaster. If so, the inside will be glazed. I picked one up about a month ago at a thrift store. You roast a whole clove of garlic in the oven and use it for a spread on bread/toast. Unfortunately, our primary estate sale organizer here charges retail prices so it is hard to get good deals.

[@jessakent2049]

The thing on top of the pencil box is probably a pencil sharpener. What a great haul!

[@dmichaels40]

The only thing better than your absolute joy about your treasures would be to know how much the items were. It's fun to see the great deals from different times and places. Love it.

[@tine442]

Yes, and putting it into place. Sliding the witchy garden book into her cabinet would be so satisfying 😍

[@afroborilafemme]

That cherub planter and that floral bowl 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@lisaschreiber2893]

❤❤❤ that drafting cabinet

[@marebear1807]

The large furniture pieces are Amazeballs 🎉 what great finds

[@robynw6307]

OMG That barrister's cabinet is everything. Great find.

[@abeerali7834]

What a find! That paper storage unit is truly one of a kind 👌

[@shonalogan1581]

So happy you bought the cabinet. Xxx

[@Goldie63isme]

The black flower bowl you could glue a pedestal on the bottom and use for a floral arrangement, that’s what came to my mind immediately .

[@debramackinnon8094]

So glad you got the cabinet!!

[@debbieidi5517]

Love the Barristers cabinet!! Cannot WAIT to see what you do with it!!!

[@TheGenflute]

Ooo! The cranes on that pot! Love!

[@leslieschmitt7749]

I’m so glad you got the legal cabinet!! 😊❤

[@michelecolvin3374]

That blue cabinet!!! What an awesome find!

[@agnesmooney4107]

Danie Your enthusiasm is so contagious Thank you for a half hour of joy !!!

[@linjaysha]

That barrister bookcase brought back memories for me, Danie! My father was a lawyer (then a judge) and he had that exact same bookcase is his law office. Then it moved with our family into 3 different homes over the decades from the 1960s until now. Great find!

[@vickinoeske1154]

Love the MCM magazine magazine rack.❤ Awesome. So stylish.

[@conifercrow]

Way too many comments to search through, so forgive me if I'm duplicating known info: that garlic thing is a roaster! You pop a head of garlic in there after cutting off the pointy neck-end, drizzle it with olive oil and a little sea salt, and then pop the whole thing into the oven until the garlic's soft enough to be spreadable. The lid keeps the moisture in so that your roasted garlic doesn't dry out into garlic raisins while cooking. It's a handy little gadget, and once you try home roasted garlic on italian bread? You'll never be able to go back to regular garlic toast. :)

[@reginaperkins8255]

I would have loved the second estate sale. So neat that you were able to go.

[@raeperonneau4941]

The 2nd Estate sale would have been the bankruptcy of me. The Blue Blueprint Cabinet is to die for. ! I have wanted one forever.

[@ShugAveri]

paper storage. Omgosh yes! also loving the granny salt n pepper for some reason! great vintage shopping!

[@aw3276]

The garlic keeper is a garlic roaster. You cut off the top, of a whole garliic set, leave the skins paper on, set garlic in the tray and put butter olive oil on it. Put on cover. Bake till the garlic starts to poke out. Squeeze the cloves and it comes out. Spread on beard etc. Roasted garlic is so good.

[@barbaracallwood9220]

Your joy in your finds made me smile. You brighten my day!

[@michelleford405]

OMG, LOVE the paper cabinet!!! I so want one!

[@BenjamintheTortoise]

That was fun, great finds!! Thanks for taking us along! Cheers 💖

[@lilred312benett6]

Absolutely awesome! I love vintage things b/c you know they have a story to tell. The large bowl with the "egg" at the bottom, made me think of the sun. I need that bowl of happiness! The barrister cabinet would be perfect for the vintage surgical instruments and other oddities I have been collecting. So beautiful. ❤

[@kristinewells961]

You deserve to have some fun after all your hard work on the garage. Amazing finds!!!!

[@suzy1676]

Those cabinets are amazing! Love the wooden boxes and lantern!

[@animonteleone396]

I’m so glad you decided to get the barristers cabinet and the flat file! Definitely two bucket list items! So great 🎉

[@cindygray4533]

🙀 that bowl and tea cup💖

[@karenmcneill2602]

Love the awl box!!!😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

The kitchen witch was absolutely my favorite. You scored!

That flat file 😍

[@kathrynmccarthy]

Wow, the Barrister cabinet and paper cabinet are some amazing finds!

[@stevie8787]

Agggh, I’m OBSESSED with the kitchen witch and granny salt/pepper shaker set!! I love estate sales and now I’m on the hunt for a little kitchen witch of my own. Such fun finds Danie!!☺️

[@dollyhartley4387]

My mom had a kitchen witch in her kitchen window for years! Love your shirt too.

[@brikhouse22]

Love love love both the cabinet and drawer set.

[@lovefaith6285]

I'm so happy you got the paper cabinet!! When I first saw it I was yelling, OMG!! Get it Danie!! 😆 So happy for you and all your treasures!! I think I may need a kitchen witch in my window too. 👏👏👏👏✌💜

[@cblaney3931]

Soooooooo happy that you bought the paper cabinet as it brings you so much joy. Joyful things are so important for our mental health :) That would have been my favourite item too. And the sliding top 😍😍 what a bonus!! Next the barristers book case. It was all such good fun. I'd love to go to an Estate sale, but we don't really have them here, and I'd probably be overwhelmed with too many people. Another great video Danie, thanks.

[@Raxx777]

love that you took us shopping with you- so many great finds !!!!

[@kathysantos2594]

That lantern is amazing

[@sharif9513]

[@justinabean94]

I know I’m not the only one that audibly gasped at the kitchen in house #2 . It was so pretty I could cry. THE WINDOWS 😭💖

[@lauriehuber3040]

Love both the large furniture pieces. And great prices! Can’t wait to see how you restore the book case.

[@lindeehopkins6439]

Deff my fav is the handmade paper cabinet

[@d.b.595]

Thank you for sharing. Your happiness about the lovely finds is so contagious! I am smiling ear to ear after watching. 😁🤩

[@lornawood3260]

Love your excitement, Danie; it’s infectious!! I KNEW you were getting both of those cabinets!!! The other things, I wasn’t sure. Thank you for sharing your treasures with us. Wishing you and Jeffy all the best! 👏👏👏🙏

[@m.maclellan7147]

One thing about the first pair of scissors is the FLAT BOTTOM, so they would rest against the table as they cut. Very helpful with material !
