The ENTIRE HOUSE was VINTAGE CHRISTMAS! Estate Sale

This estate sale was packed full of vintage Christmas including old toys! Barb went to it bright and early, I found out about it a bit later that morning, asked her if she wanted to go, found out she already went but wanted to go back with me.... and here we are!

I’m not aggressive and I’m mostly introverted, I’m feeling for Barb. That environment would have been hard for me. How can we change society where the Nice people win? Lol

[@auntyharry]

I know you wrote LOL at the end, but I’ve really been thinking about the sentiment you expressed lately. Why does it seem like immoral, nasty or cruel people move ahead and get the best all the time? I’d like to think being polite, nice, caring and hardworking SHOULD be enough to bring good things into your life. Yep, I’m being naive…..feel free to judge me! 😉

[@Psteiskal]

I'm not an aggressive person either, but if someone actually rips something out of my hands, they're not going to be happy with how I react.

[@kimdaniells4514]

I used to be like you Barb at your age. Fast forward to age 57 and I speak my mind now. I’m still nice and sweet, to a point. I absolutely love you guys and wish I could run into you someday. Happy, healthy Thanksgiving to you and yours, and to the rest of us drooling at your finds. Take care all😊

[@DreamingCatStudio]

Realistically you have to expect assertive and even aggressive behavior at those types of sales. People are crazed! Not condoning it, just saying it’s predictable. Especially if presale pictures were posted. Egad! I go for fun, without needing anything so I can stay calm. PreCovid I used to go and would always head for the dustier, dirtier rooms to avoid the madding crowd. Though I did find in one sale in the front room a gorgeous vintage lightning rod with a metal horse and turquoise glass ball, which I paid full price for ($120), and love everyday displayed in my dining room. No-one else was at all interested. I think the key to enjoying it is not to wish people were nicer, but just go to have fun and maybe find something you love.

[@nanvolentine9110]

I have so many of those old German ornaments from my Grandfather, they're treasure to me!

[@atomicredhead]

I was going to go back, but I was still traumatized from earlier. But went back Thursday and got the santa. Putz houses were there on Wed. And that lamp is going to be for sale at their next sale. They're having more sales with stuff in the other rooms and basement. I got the Holt Howard Angel abra when I went back on Thursday. It had another box of candles inside. But glad I got to meet Barb. She was one of the only sane people in that house. And I have already sold the tree for 160.00.

[@doeyluv]

frenzy sales like that stress me out!

[@Korenscollections]

Good morning Jeffrey and Barb. So many beautiful things. The Cinderella carriage is beautiful. That bulb trees are fantastic. You should buy it…. Are you? If I was you, go back when it’s half off. A great display for you shop. You did good Barb.

[@shannon_w.]

Exactly what Barb experienced is why I don’t go to Estate Sales. I don’t even really do Yard Sales anymore either. I have very little patience for ignorance and there would have been problems so I just keep my self out of those situations. Barb though did get some great stuff!

[@gratefulgram]

I am screaming all those ornaments Jeffrey is picking up or pointing out I had a a young child, this was amazingly fun, Thank you very much Jeffrey and Barb. Much love and many blessings

[@littleone7404]

Barb sorry that you had to deal with such rude people who think they're entitled to stuff they really take the joy out of thrifting anymore

[@Jebbyfur61]

I’m screaming buy them Jeffrey you can reuse the tree every year to display and sell. Buy it! You can make the money back easily. Buy it. No! Don’t walk away.

[@southernmermaid2526]

He had me doing the math and I was thinking it’s soooo worth it !

[@trishallain6503]

Jeffrey those gold millimeter balls are not corsages. That's how they arrive in a box to the flower shop. They usually come in groups of 10 taped together. I've been a florist for over 40 years. I've used 100,000s of the millimeter balls at Christmas time. They come in every color.

[@sandysunset4050]

The Angelabra candles go with gold a golden angel that holds those candles!! Someone is going to want those!!!

[@thebunnyfoofoo]

I wish you had gone back on 50% off day and protected Barb while she shopped. Just arms stretched "Step AWAY from the Barb!" XD

[@Redsquirl30]

Vintage Christmas is HUGE. 7 years ago, I was finding so much amazing vintage christmas things at thrift stores, now its almost impossible to find. The glass garland is GOLD.

[@user-Annie65]

I feel for you Barb. In my opinion you are the better person for not grabbing things from other people. I’m not aggressive or confrontational ( unless pushed) either . Funny how everyone wants the “Christmas items”but the meaning of Christmas gets completely forgotten with those actions. That sale had some really great stuff. I hope that you find all great treasures in the future. Would love to see how you decorate for Christmas!!

[@luvnalaska44]

Oh, my. I couldn’t even deal with a crowd like that. Kudos to Barb. Great hauls.

[@DreamingCatStudio]

Those estate sales where you sign up and wait in line can be crazy for sure. I usually head to the back yard where the funkier stuff is that’s easier to pick up. In one church sale all of us could see through the doors while waiting and spied a beautiful Tiffany-style lamp. When the doors opened one lady lunged to grab the lamp, and knocked it to the floor, breaking it in a million pieces. On a calmer note I found a wire tree like the ones you saw at an online auction, with vintage metal easter ornaments on it, like chickens, rabbits, and eggs. I saw it in a room scan and the seller said “Yeah I have no idea what that is.” I was the only one who bid on it and paid $30 plus shipping. Gave it to my sister who loves primitives. It was really cool!

[@deblepley7755]

Way to go Barb. People can be too aggressive. I’m happy for you to have what you bought. Amazing Christmas sale. I would be too curious and I know I would sneak back for half price day❣️

[@marehart993]

Aww barb, is just so sweet and has amazing taste!!! When barb said it was crazy I imagined the crazy people on black Friday 😆

[@lisaearhart3330]

I was thinking when you told Barb that she could change her name to Pam that that would make you Michael Scott and then you made a that's what she said joke - that was perfect.

[@rebeccaude4412]

OMG! I am so excited that you are doing Christmas décor tours !! Sorry that it was such a crazy experience the 1st time Barb, someone should have stated that anyone arguing, grabbing, etc. would be told to leave. Someone could have been injured or one of the trees of antique ornaments could have been knocked down & broken! They had odd prices on some items IMO. Certain pieces were marked very high while others were lower than I would have expected. I.E. Barb got a steal on the mercury glass beads but the individual ornaments were crazy high (for an estate sale, not because they aren’t worth it). It’s not surprising there was so much left once you started talking about the prices & I bet the 50% off day was insane! Oh, btw…Michael just bought a tree topper like the one Barb got & said it was HH too. I don’t know if there’s a mark somewhere inside, but his had a very similar face & different colored body. Thanks for sharing as always. Sending you all 🤗,💜 & 🙏🏻 for a wonderful & Blessed week, plus a very Happy Thanksgiving 🦃! 🦚- Rebecca

[@LindaBarham]

I used to work at a homebuilder. After the model homes sold they would have an employee sale if all the furnishings. You could get really nice stuff. I learned quick that you would go before the sale and peek through the windows to scope out what you wanted in each house so you could get there fast. We took notes. Now, we weren't allowed to wear shoes in the house the day of the sale, even in the winter. So we would have to plan accordingly. Slip on shoes, or if you wire gym shoes you'd leave them untied, you didn't want to waste time untieing them or tieing them back. The doors would open and it was like a feeding frenzy! And it was people you knew and had to see at work the following Monday. I used to be at one house and send my hubby ti another one with a list of what and where the items were. People would fight over stuff, laying across tables, one pulling from one side and the other person pulling from another. Once I got a mattress. One lady tried to get the bed frame underneath it. She was the f-ing president's wife, like she couldn't afford a 40 to 80 bed frame! We had to pull in the president's secretary. Guess who ending up getting it...ME! It was part of the damn mattress, lol. Great memories though back then I was young, she and intimidated, although I held my ground with that woman. I wouldn't be today lol.

[@junecaudle8458]

I loved Barb's haul❤️

[@QueenCityHistory]

My sister had that cinderella cake topper back in the 80s. She still remembers that cake as her favorite

[@elainereed4842]

Actually Barb, I think you got a steal on those glass bead garlands, they are always marked high! Love the turkey planters also! Have never seen wire Christmas Tree’s, the ornaments hanging on them were fantastic! I would have snatched that smaller one🌲

[@elementfun519]

I cannot believe how much the value of vintage mid century Christmas items have gone up. I use to find them in thrift stores all the time. I am glad I started collecting them about 10 years ago. I am learning so much from your channel. I love the paper dolls 😉 🌈.

[@thebunnyfoofoo]

I know my collection has tripled in value and I started collecting 2014.

[@MikeyMMVI]

The ornaments look so pretty on the wire trees. Years ago live trees had space between the branches so ornaments and tinsel hung really nicely. Now the style is such thick trees that are pruned as they grow. Really wish one could still buy trees in the earlier style.

[@llmifg]

My sister and BIL grow Christmas trees, (Oregon). They do have one prunning just to create a lead top branch, but the reason the trees are so thick now is 'cos they grow quicker, by 2-3 years than the trees with spaced out branches.

[@MikeyMMVI]

@@llmifg Maybe they have the more natural trees I am looking for, lol. A quick Google tells me that trees are typically pruned and shaped every year.

[@velmamendoza1120]

Oh wow, what a treat to see all those wonderful ornaments together in one room.

[@nancynordquist820]

Love your shelf of colored glass behind Jeffery! Beautiful!!

[@cathifamjourney469]

Barb, that pink angel tree topper is amazing!!

[@susank.7881]

Those wire trees were amazing!! Barb glad you got to buy such great items despite the frenzy.

[@itsme-nt2lj]

those are some near retail prices at an estate sale. I dont even bother going anymore

[@suzyallen1726]

Love that musical tree barb

[@starrlacey2505]

I think Barb did alright! She ended up with some good stuff - wasn't overly traumatized- and I don't think I heard her say she wouldn't do it again for a chance at things she wanted! And she kept her dignity! The boxed candles I think were refills to those metal angels that spin around when you light the candles underneath them. Jeffrey you should have gone back the last half hour of the day - you might have been able to work a deal!

[@barb-jm7990]

Loved the story about the "feeding frenzy" at the estate sale! I just wish Barb had video footage of it! LOL. You both got great stuff!

[@deechick2321]

That was an awesome video! You two do complement each other well. Luv the excitement of it all...yeah!!! 🎄🔔🎅👼

[@tammikristoffersen7765]

Omg…the Norwegian Nisse in the clear case! My husband loves those! Wish I could get that.

[@LiftUpNotDown]

I like to shop when I can browse and don’t feel crowded. A busy store and I’m in and out like a flash, especially now because of COVID. The house was so full! So many items! The glass blown ornament is great and the box of Tinsel for the box! 😂 Barb’s pink angel is unusual.

[@thebunnyfoofoo]

And you can still get deals (just may not be as many deals) in antique malls and not have to deal with the crowds and anxiety.

[@KatherineYoung]

Love the large Christmas box and musical tree Barb got!

[@celiagorleski2716]

I would have spent a fortune just for me. My daughters could sell everything after I die. So much of this brings back memories from younger days. I would have spent the night in my car.

[@carolynwhitney5268]

Finally finishing this video! Can't wait to see both of your home tours with vintage Christmas goodness! How exciting! I hope those clowns at the sale were nice to Barb...she's such a sweetheart! 🤡🎄🎅

[@Goodsonvintagetreasures]

Great haul Barb….love. Those beads were great.

[@dianehermann3342]

Can’t wait to see Barbs decorations them as trees Jeffery with the old balls on was calling your name 😀ty for the ride along 🦋🦋

[@christinaapplegate5281]

Loved the rainbow 🌈 of glass on the shelf at Barbs at the end of the video! Such cute things that you both purchased. Can’t wait to see the Christmas tour video!

[@christinaspencer4160]

Well done Barb xxx Lovely Christmas goodies xxx

[@beverlysettle1084]

Lovely vintage ornaments….took me back to my childhood. Thanks for a great video visit! 🌲❤️

[@LindaKayHolevas]

Loved seeing Barb's items, she has got to be one of the sweetest people in the world! I cannot wait to see both of your house tours! I was so happy you're going to be sharing your Christmas decor with us! Thank you so much!! xo

[@joymiller-fite1444]

Great haul!!!!! Loved what I could see of Barb's house!!!!! Can't wait to see tours!!!!!🌲

[@sashagirl1987]

Yes at 26:21 that is for sure a Holt Howard angel topper! I have a small collection of those cuties! I so enjoyed this video! The early part of that sale sounds craaaazy! Love the Mercury glass garlands that was a good price for all those strings! So fun!

[@merrilynrutledge9658]

The old figural lights can be used as ornaments. Have slot of those and tie a small ribbon around top part then put hanger in ribbon to hang on tree. Love the $2 box Barb bought.

[@elderlypoodle9181]

“ Angelabra” I tip my hat to the person who penned that one ☺️ I have the 100 year old Teapot ornament Jeffrey. It was from my great grandparents who lived in Germany and set up residence in Illinois. I feel sorry for Barb in the middle of thug attitudes from estate shoppers 🧐.

[@dawnhaynes7784]

Morning Jeffrey and Barb ya'll have a great day

[@larkdavis6041]

Oh my goodness!!!! Wonderful, Wonderful finds! I do wonder why in the world would you not go back on half off day!

[@dianewilliams9729]

Jeffrey quote “Sometimes it’s good to live some more.” Nice way to start off my day by living some more! I would have been as excited as a little puppy browsing that sale. Being excited like a puppy led me to thinking of Depends and wondering where our Depends lady has been during your sales. Hope she is okay. Hope you two cuties enjoyed the sale. Very nice haul, Barb. Thanks!

[@gissyb1]

Barb I love the musical tree.

[@michaelmaynard3673]

I hate it when the prices are to high at estate sales. I would price things a little lower if I wanted to sell everything. Even with half off it’s a bit much.

[@nancyrichwine1355]

I love vintage Christmas! I would have wanted everything there!

[@lindadebruyn3896]

WOW So much Christmas 🎅 Great finds for both of you.🎅

[@glendafromaustralia1625]

Hi Jeffrey and Barb. Lots of fun 🎅🎅

[@katiesunshine6188]

Estate Sales with Christmas are my favorite. Great finds, TFS! 🎄💕 Barb, your glass display shelf at the end, behind Jeffrey, is Gorgeous!

[@mrsrichter8586]

My heart nearly jumped out my chest when you walked past the Christmas tree lying in a box outside, it's literally the first thing you walked past (0:55 into the video) I had one of those trees and it was destroyed by an abusive partner, I have never seen another one again. I recognized it immediately by the brown stem showing out the box. After that the rest of the video was a blur for me. My heart 😞 😭

[@jacquelinenewberry9601]

Love the relationship between you and Barb.

[@Reclaimedvintage]

I have to say you guys Great together I look forward to the videos!!

[@mreed71]

Merry Christmas!

[@leoncartwright7904]

Awesome video and you and Barb-great stuff like are the old Christmas ornaments

[@robinsummers7928]

I had my alarm set and everything to go to this sale .. Last minute I decided with the amount of Christmas they had and the quality it was going to be crazy. I don’t do crazy that early in the morning. Glad you and Barb got sone nice things

[@julirowe9529]

Wow what a stash of vintage! I would have gone nuts in there!

[@lpaulr1948]

Nice sale. I would have spent all my money. I would have bought so many of the brooches especially the Christmas tree ones. So much nice Christmas it would be hard to resist. Personally I would go back the next day for 50% off if Barb hadn't told the story of how bad it was with people grabbing things from other people. Next day was probably very crazy.

[@Reclaimedvintage]

Hello Jeffery and Barb!! I've been known to pull up to a Thtift Store and Leave if it's to busy ... people are in general very aggressive these days, I work in the public people can be nasty....

[@piper320]

Hi Jeffrey and Barb! I can’t wait to get my mystery box! 🥰

[@loriholmes3765]

Wow!!! I would have been on over load with all the goodies! So much fun

[@gigisdreamworld2624]

I would have to go back on half price day, just to see if I could get those Christmas decorations on that wire tree. Great finds! Gigi

[@merrilynrutledge9658]

I am just 6 minutes in and am dying!! That looks wonderful! Now...back to the rest of the video!

[@BennyLlama39]

Whoa! Haven't seen those glossy-thread ornaments in a *long* time. 🙂

[@theresazaring5225]

Barb I love Santa's to

[@crystalsighs6734]

Great Christmas estate sale!

[@donnawisner1481]

What a fun place and all the Christmas stuff. Sounds like Barb had a rough time of it in the early morning. Both of you got some nice things though. Thanks

[@cynthiajuarez5855]

I like those vintage ornaments they're so pretty I have a few vintage ornaments myself but a lot of them are pretty that beat it Garland the Mercury beats we used to have some of that when we were kids I don't even know what happened to it afterwards but it is pretty thanks for sharing that with us

[@missycat5783]

Wow! There's another side to Barb that we don't ever see. There was no "I'll think about it" at that sale for Barb, she just 'put it in her bag!!' Great haul Barb. You really made out on the mercury beads too.

[@maryroyer2978]

Omg those brooches were beautiful I would have had a hard time leaving.

[@donnaaguilar374]

Wow awesome video 👍❤️

[@tinabennett581]

Beautiful things but i thought over priced even for Southern Calif! But still lovely.

[@allysonmartin3161]

What a sale and looking forward to your home tours!

[@user-yh4yb4db3w]

Merry Christmas

[@kabc]

Morning, Barb and Jeffrey.

[@auntyharry]

I’m so sorry Barb had a bad experience initially. She is a gentle soul. I feel sad that she was distressed.

[@lindasara1522]

rudolph is so cute

[@Sweetpea1128]

So, now the rumor begins that Barb’s REAL name is Pam!! 😂 I could not be trusted at this sale! I would have bought tons! Great sale! ❤️🎄

[@marlenefolta6912]

I liked and my comment is this was great fun. Unusual things🎄

[@debpate9405]

Hi Barb! I miss seeing you shopping with Mr Florida 😊 I hope you're doing great.

[@flaval24]

Wow! I thought that MCM looking blown glass ornament was the best find of the day. But then you got those elephants! Then there were those birds! Then those trees! Sigh. Be still my heart. And only a few minutes into the video I had to stop it & go back to be sure- yup, one of those brooches you bought is sitting in one of my jewelry boxes, I've had it for years.

[@alesiasteele869]

That Kriess deer is my dream. I love him. There was another kriess there in the video. I have two kriess an i want more an can't find any here. I would so go back on half off day. An be first in line.

[@southernmermaid2526]

Ohhhh Barb I actually LOVED your choices from earlier, especially that musical tree. Lately I’ve been avoiding going early to sales because of what you experienced, so I totally understand, sorry you had to see all of that ugly. Jeffrey, I really liked that art glass ornament with the colors inside and the gold outside. Hope you keep it. With all of that stuff that was still left, why wouldn’t you go to 1/2 price day ? Is it far away ? I don’t think I could resist. 💚🧑🏼‍🎄❤️🎅🏽

[@jrpacer6355]

I have the Hallmark holiday pins they used to sell I would wear them at work they are over 30 years old

[@lynngarrett9892]

Looking forward to Xmas house tour Barb and Jeffrey.

[@kabc]

Sounds like Black Friday sales.

[@maryrinks8383]

I remember that child's tin cups and plates set ..had them ...

[@jamiecocozza231]

Jeffrey you got some cool vintage stuff. You should go back tomorrow for more at lower prices.......

[@angelab2011]

Someone gave me a box of vintage ornaments most were like the ones you saw on that display tree .I love them

[@Goodsonvintagetreasures]

I would be grabbing all of that!

[@josephcottam1382]

I definitely would have gone back for the second day for half price 😄🎅🤶 As a long time collector (60+ years)

[@joycemccrory1392]

That is the name of the game in San Diego! Hold tightly onto your items if you want them! You are lucky if you get some of what you want in the first place. Many aggressive dealers who put up a fight for what they want even if someone else has already claimed it.

[@crystalwaddell537]

This is why I can't do estate sales 😒. I wouldn't be able to deal with rudeness and lose my....poopies. lol. Barb's haul is awesome! And the items left weren't terrible, but not really priced to sell but priced like antique store/retail on some of it.
