Wow! That Big Bird brought back so many memories. I had him when I was a tiny girl. :) Amazing finds!

[@pamstreasures3823]

Hi Renee, great finds today! The old hooked rug, get some good quality muslin or strong woven fabric and sew around the edges on front then turn over and whip stitch to back. Then you can hand wash, I would use dawn ultra blue - just let it soak, rinse good, roll in a towel (or two) and dry flat. A lot of time went into making these beautiful old rugs and we should preserve and cherish them. Blessings! Pam

[@PaperandMoose]

Dawn Ultra Blue - will do! I usually do a lot of airing out on the rugs, but this rug thankfully just has the usual "old" smell, which a day outside will take care of. I've come across a few other nice old rugs but the smell of cat urine was too strong and the rug too large to attempt to remove the odor.

[@rhondadart8185]

@@PaperandMoose you can get rug bias tape and hand stitch ( if you don’t have sewing machine). It would clean up your edges nicely.

[@rhodalewis2766]

You got a lot of neat things. I was gifted a Gerber baby ring in 1978 when our twin boys were born. My mom worked at a grocery store and when the Gerber salesman found out I had twins he gifted us a box of goodies and the ring was in there. Still have it and still wear it.

[@Nwladylaura369]

I have a Gerber welcome letter that was given to new Mom’s. It was in my Mom’s stuff from the 50’s.

Antique Hooked rugs are worth a lot! Very fixable

[@deborahfogel3689]

After my daughter was born(1977), I ordered one for her, and o e for my son or his wife, whoever she would be with their birth dates on them. I also ordered me one either both of their birth dates. I still have them. Maybe no g my daughters. I think she had it and I don't know what happened to it after she passed. Those pencils were neat. I have a carpenters pencil that was my grandfather's. I also have the secretariat he made for my grandmother. I remember loving the smell of all the papers and pencils every time it was opened. It even has the beveled Mirror on it. It's oak, I believe. Loved this video as I do all your videos. And I love you. Stay safe and healthy. ❤️😘💞💞💞💞🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏✌️👶

As I watched this I thought use the green book, Hershey tags, fans, and start junk journaling. It doesn’t have to be perfect since it is a “junk” journal. You can do it!

[@pameladelancey5834]

Great finds!! Love the rug and for a dollar, amazing😊!!❤❤❤

[@fareast_de]

Great flea market expedition with a perfect new hair style ! 👌I like the Hershey box, it´s very stylish. The price for the pencils might be reasonable for some really old brands, but not for every single item. 10:35 Take a closer look to the coins and medals in these boxes, sometimes you may find a variety of small Civil War tokens inside (value between 20,-/50,- bucks). Hope you have a relaxing and sunny Sunday, Renée ! 🌞 Greets from GER, U. P.S. Be aware of some new "cancer" scam comments, I just got one on another channel. 😐

[@PaperandMoose]

I did see that the scammer channel posted on one of my videos yesterday, seem they created yet another channel using the same video, so they have been blocked (yet again). I agree on the pencils, especially in regards to what advertising was on them. Wish I knew what auction they attended to scoop up two boxes of vintage pencils, I need to go to that auction! I'll have to add the Civil War tokens to my research list, always useful to have an idea of what something looks like... the hard part is remembering! Hope you have a wonderful upcoming week!

[@darleenstill7011]

I agree Rene, my favorite thing you got was the rug. But that cute little box with the fly fishing stuff is also precious!

Thanks for sharing your treasures with us. $2 for a pencil and$5 for a pen is CRAZY! He is going to have that inventory forever! 😅

[@PaperandMoose]

I'll probably stick with the previous owner's method of repair, as there were some patches on the back. For $1, couldn't leave it behind!

[@larryboysen5911]

The nice smile on your early morning face, says it all regarding the finds! I see a group of good 'ol glass insulators! After some repairs, your rug would make a neat wall hanging. American Heritage...remember that book well. Again, it amazes me...all the items the sellers have! We had a huge flea market...Marin Flea...it is now site of housing...two others are also gone, as well as a large indoor vendors' complex...it occupied the former W & J Sloan Furniture Wearhouse...I bought several things there. One of the ladies I knew was Doris, her area featured a variety of vintage items...so was she... 99, going on 100 years of age...sharp as a person half her time on this earth! She and her son were the greatest. That tinplate model of what looks like a hay baler, would have been in my bag! Nice haul, Renee!

[@MaryABaker-rd3mm]

You hit the jackpot Renee! The items you bought were great! I love the stories behind people's childhood toys! Most of the time we can tell you the when, where, who, and why of those prized toys! I still have a few of mine, you are very fortunate to be able to have saved so many of yours! The rug was pretty but I don't think i would have looked twice at it after seeing the damage but I'm glad you did! Now it will have a new home and be owned by someone who cares for it! Please be careful and stay safe! ❤❤

[@PaperandMoose]

Thankfully I noticed the rug on one of my return trips to that seller. It was somewhat all jumbled up on the ground, but even with a few holes, the colors and the little cottage are what drew me in!

[@raneemilliman7130]

Lots of good items today. I also think the rug is really nice. Maybe you should see if you can find someone to put a binding on it to keep it from getting more damage. It would help preserve it and maybe could add a piece on the back to add a rod or dowel and you could hang it up. But I also love the fans. It would be great to get a better look at them. They are so interesting looking. Nice variety, Renee

I wore the ring today at my usual flea market and it brought me good luck again! (At least that's what I tell myself!) Not sure if I showed it, but the ring actually has 3 dates engraved on it, so I assume for the person's children as well.

Looked like a good flea market and I think you did Great I used to be into hooked rugs and I loved the one you got. The colors were great…I’d hang it on the wall Hooked rugs can be a bit of a mystery with some worth crazy prices. Don’t ever pass up any cat ones The Halloween costumes were neat, especially the Devil. Was the other one looked like Alice in Wonderland I did ok at my flea market today, nothing great. Nice silver plate shaving mug with the milk glass insert. Came with a Fuller Brush shaving brush. My dad used to sell fuller brush Got a pre WWI German Export bayonet Then found a fossil fish for our Olive we have been talking about fossils too I have mobility issues which prevents me from walking most of the market now but in a few weeks am set to have brain surgery which is supposed to take care of it.

[@PaperandMoose]

A fossil fish - that sounds like a great find! We have a few rock and natural stone sellers at my local flea market, but not fossils! I hope that your surgery goes well and that recovery is a breeze for you. That will be wonderful that you'll be able to have more mobility and be on the lookout for even more treasures at your flea market!

That was a great video - thank you! So your aunt made sock monkeys and never made one for you?! Ha - my aunt once gave me a box filled with coal as a gag Christmas gift! At least, I hope it was a gag ... I think I was about four years old. I guess I could ask her - just as soon as I can get in touch with one of those seances or something. Wow, everything that you picked up was just plain incredible! The rug was absolutely tip-top. A bit of that spray-on, vacuum-off rug cleaner would really make that look even better and with just a bit of needle and thread, you'd be all set! And all for a buck! Those Japanese fans, with the geishas, looked really old - easy from the 1920s. Beautiful photographs of them, too. Golly, when you were walking to the place, and you see that the flea market area is behind people's homes, like almost in their backyards ... If I lived there, I'd show up at the market first thing in the morning, every time they set up. Thanks again for the really enjoyable walk through the flea market. It certainly was a trip!

[@PaperandMoose]

I agree on living by the flea market - I'd be there every market morning! My aunt made sock monkeys for all of my cousins and always said she made one for me, but she never did.
