Thrift + Antique Store Shop with Us! Hunting for Antiques in Bay City, MI full of Primitive Relics!

[@oldmaplehome]

Hello and thank you for shopping along with us! Since many of you have asked, my mom was using the Google app photo search feature :)

[@sallymoffit3751]

I'm going to take myself antiquing for Valentines Day. I won't be able to resist longer than that.

[@oldmaplehome]

Sounds like my love language!

[@dannamccallum4153]

I have that exact turkey platter. My father bought it in 1955 for my Mother. I cherish mine and I’m sure you will also.

[@mairwaugus5203]

Pure Michigan!

I did a lot of thrifting in my day I'm 78 years old now and no longer get around any more so I enjoy watching it

Fantastic, thank you for watching!

[@debbiehamilton1083]

I loved shopping and need a trip to an antique store

[@nicoleelery7612]

Its such a bitter sweet joy watching you and your mom search for treasures, I lost my mom a few years ago and she and I loved thrifting and going to yard sales together. It's now my 8 year old daughter going with me and she loves the thrill of the hunt just as much 😀

[@oldmaplehome]

Awe, I am so sorry for your loss. How sweet you can carry on the tradition and memories with your daughter

[@smoothsailingmp]

at 31:32 there was a stove exactly the size of my grandmother's and she made many a scrumptious meal on it and homemade doughnuts which I would love to have even one today. Considering that I'm 79 years old. That is quite a memory...even the smell of them cooking is irresistible. Thanks for the memory

[@oldmaplehome]

Thank you for describing that, sounds wonderful!

[@katen1228]

Love those measuring cups. I LOVE blue and white. Love that you go out with your mom. They’re beautiful. Lol, your mom is an enabler.

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@smoothsailingmp]

@ 16:18 starting into quality, and your mom knows her pricing, when she tells you "that's good" (meaning price) remember, she remembers when she saw those before (talking in years now) at 3 to 4 times the price ( in the better stores)you are seeing them at this day

[@gapeach51170]

I have a turkey platter just like that. It belonged to my husband's mother. We rec'd it in 1994 , that was 29 years ago and I don't know how long she had it before that :)

[@oldmaplehome]

They are always so fun to bring out for Thanksgiving :)

[@ruffsnap]

30:54 - That's wild, I've never seen another boot/shoe rack thing like that in an actual antique store before, only a few on Etsy and places online. I have one from my parents and I love that thing. They used to hang candles off of it, the type where there is string connecting two, and they'd kind of drape them over the rungs. Overall too that's a great antique store, I see some cool salt glazed pottery items too!

[@debbiehamilton1083]

I love going with you but see things I love!!!!

[@sandyroberts8159]

Love your thrifting videos. Could you please slo the camera down a tiny bit as it’s hard to see anything💕😘

You must get that framed print. It's called "The Sewing Hour" by Holland Artz 1908 Netherlands. It's beautiful!!!

[@SarahsOctoberHome]

Elizabeth, you scored!✨👏🏻

[@oldmaplehome]

Thanks Sarah!!

[@sharonbower6446]

Enjoyed watching you and your mum,x

[@JachtmaesterCuriosa]

Dear Elizabeth, What you have there at 3:47 is likely a 1950's print of a copy of a 19th century painting, depicting a wealthy but frugal protestant Dutch household scene. I'm quite curious what the gallery sticker on the back says. From left to right: It has Delftware tiles at the fireplace, which were common in Dutch homes of that period. A bookrest for the family Bible (often also containing the family genealogy) with a smart little cameo right above it. A colonial hardwood cupboard (possibly from the Dutch Indies) decorated with more Delftware. Leaded pane windows which are typical for Dutch homes of the period, with a top-latch shutter. I believe the print is based off an oil painting by David Adolph Constant Artz, a Dutch painter who lived from 1837 - 1890. But there are some small differences with the original. For one, the original does not have the clock on the far right. The fact that you were in Michigan might explain the find of a Dutch print. I was lead to believe that there is a great Dutch heritage in that state? The 15 USD pricetag would be fairly on point in my opinion. Greetings from the Netherlands, -Jachtmaester Curiosa

[@oldmaplehome]

Hello thank you for all the information! I have seen that print replicated in many different forms, such as on tapestry etc. I'll keep my eye on it and if they lower the price at all, it's mine lol

[@patricialester2416]

Blue and white measuring cups are so sweet I'm glad you bought them your mom was right 👍

Thanks for sharing showed my daughter and son Mike who recently told us they are pregnant first child so blessed because they need a kitchen Reno and the floors done in their home. My son always finding cool things people throw away he like rustic too.

[@smoothsailingmp]

Again that canister set with all the pieces was well worth $145.00. You might want to look at vintage ware books , furniture books , etc and learn more before going shopping. There's a wealth of info to help you in your future and future purchases. Consider.....just saying.....have a good day. Nice you have your mom to go with ❤️❤️❤️

[@oldmaplehome]

I don't resell though, so even if I know it's worth alot of money and I don't like it or need it - I won't buy it. Thanks for watching!

How exciting!!!! 🥰 I grew up in Northern MI and absolutely LOVE MI AND Thrifting!!!! 😍 I was up there in 2022 and found the coolest second-hand books I was not expecting to find! Ironically, I found a “turkey” platter in a thrift store a few years ago that looks close (but different) to the one you found! I am going to check it out and see what country it came from. Please keep thrifting. This is SO much fun, and I really enjoy your videos! God bless and I look forward to your next videos!! 👍🏻

Elizabeth, I live in Michigan! My daughter has been wanting to take me to the antique mall in Bay City. I was so happy to see your visit there, I just loved it!!! More than I can say, it was fabulous. I really love primitives and they seemed to have a ton! I love seeing the wonderful trips you take on.

[@oldmaplehome]

They have such an amazing selection of primitives, so many gorgeous booths! It's a must-visit for antique lovers!

Fun antiquing with you. I have been to the Bay City Antique Mall many times in the past as my sister use to live in Saginaw. Also the Saginaw Warehouse. Actually I made a trip to visit friends in Plymouth and Northville recently and on the way home I stopped at the Warehouse and scored something I liked. My big splurge. Also stopped in West Branch too. And got lucky there. There are a couple of Antique stores there. Probably more things to go too but I didn’t have time that day. I do pretty well in thrift stores and like the prices better.

They don’t know what they are missing!

[@susanross8890]

I love you videos. I see that you are in my neck of the woods this time. Most of the time your videos are on the west side of the state. Did you stop at the antique store in Midland right down the road from Hooves and Hearts? I often visit that thrift store and have been looking at that platter for months. I'm glad it went to a good home. It will make a great display piece. I think you know why I didn't purchase it. There are actually three antique places in Bay City plus at least 7 second hand stores that I frequent often. I'm glad you came to the east side of the state. The thrift stores on this side of the state are way less expensive then the west side of the state. A couple times a month my husband and I will pick an area of Michigan to thrift and antique shop. It's so much fun! I really enjoy your house and videos!

[@oldmaplehome]

You'll have to let me know about the other thrift stores near Bay City. We love going to that antique mall!

[@carolgarnaat6715]

I disagree, I don't think the NE part of the state has good antiquing. The malls in Bay City are for the most part overpriced, and there is a very low turnover of merchandise. If you come back in a year it will all look the same. Just my opinion.🙂

[@mssendfitness]

I went to this one last spring i think it was.. I live in northern michigan but i have family in this part of michigan and we went there on a whim. It was alright. If you haven't already, come up to Traverse City and visit all our thrift shops and the massive Wilsons Antiques(there are 4 levels!, and a second warehouse location really close by.)
