[@HappyCrazyLady]

Awww! The ending with the train!! This was jam packed with amazing pieces, all of your shared knowledge and of course, your humor! Always love your “Hello there!” in a mirror George! The trifecta would have been seeing you try on a hat! Lol! Thank you!❤

[@janetpogue4970]

Great comment !

Lol I didn't see one I liked

[@PamelitaSi]

I had a couple of those hippie leather purses with flowers. Aah! The good ol’ days. Sweet memories.

[@janetpogue4970]

I did too. I am hopeful that my middle-aged daughter still has mine. I am going to ask 😊

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

So cool!

[@janetd4862]

You mentioned Wisk detergent, and my brain went right to “Those dirty rings! You try soaking them out, scrubbing them out….” Funny how commercials stay in our brains decades after the product is even gone.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Yes! That was a little test to see how many of us are old enough to remember

[@michelleraney3577]

My mother swore by Wisk and that's the only detergent I saw growing up.

[@virginiacaston1456]

I definitely remember that. 😊

The boat tv-lamp at 4:32 is a 1950s Beauceware lamp no. 1019 from Quebec. I have a similar one.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Beauceware! Another good Canadian maker. I'm glad you got to see this one!

[@Kairos1955]

@@TheAntiqueNomad I collect Beauceware for many years now (and also McCoy)... and everything vintage I must say.:) I also bought last week a similar boat lamp from someone in New Brunswick. Waiting for it.

[@laraemitchell9064]

I love British Columbia. I didn’t know about Fort Langley, so this was an eye opener for me. I really enjoyed this one George! Thanks for another great trip. My German teacher in high school used to include what he called “culture capsules”. He would show us bits of what the towns, countryside, histories and customs of Germany were like. I love how you include culture capsules in your videos.

[@georgehigby]

@@laraemitchell9064 thank you, I figure the travel and the vibe of a place helps explain what we see in their antique stores so I like to show it

[@SHERRY0010]

The Bay has been struggling It’s a combination of people buying more stuff on line, merchandise that’s rather pricey and not having enough staff on the sales floor . In Calgary, their downtown store is down to 3 floors now. Before it was 5 plus a basement . Office towers are being converted to residential . And at nights , no one really likes to be there, lots of homeless as in other parts of the city . That Calgary pop bottle brought back memories from my childhood . There was a brewery here at one time that also had an aquarium . Can’t remember if it was Calgary… but the buffalo head on the bottle makes me think it was . I think you’d really enjoy Heritage Park . It showcases our early settlers here , from around 1920’s era and a bit before . It’s an outdoor park with original settler houses intact . Ride attractions are steam trains , and a paddle wheel boat that takes you around Glenmore Dam .Theres old dentists office, blacksmiths , oil rig ( wooden ) etc. Their bakery is fabulous . The park is open from May to October . Nice to see you found Chalet glass . I like it too . Beautiful shops there, really packed . Thanks for the tours.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Good to have you watching, I love going to Canada to shop (and just in general!). Chalet is a personal favorite! I want to get to Calgary, I've only been to Lake Louise and up to Jasper...my one cross-province trip took me from Medicine Hat to Cranbrook, BC. It's sad to hear that about Calgary, Vancouver has some issues with that as well. Sadly, there are a lot of people on the streets due to drugs, alcohol, mental illness and other things our society hasn't managed to address.

You mentioned the lead content in Bauer Pottery, which reminded me that I recently tested some orange Bauer Pottery plates with my Geiger counter and they were putting off so much radiation that it was equivalent to 444 chest x-rays! Can't believe people used to eat off them!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

They were focused on color and didn't think of such things then...well actually, they did, they thought that putting water in a radioactive cooler was good for you in the 1920s!

Wonderful to have you join us from halfway around the world! I look forward to showing you more in the future

[@nemophilistnay]

My dad worked at Hudson Bay in the late 70s. Since I grew up rurally, the department store was incredible to me as a little kid. 21:38 Beswick made great figurines too; I love the Beatrix Potter and Alice in Wonderland lines! In fact I think I spotted a BP one in your video. I love the orange of the Chalet pieces! I ought to own one but would need way smaller! Groening: the modern Nostradamus. Thanks for the awesome tour, George!!! 🤗🤗

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I didn't realize you lived up there then! How cool. Beswick did make great stuff, both realistic and whimsey items. Chalet is amazing stuff! Agreed about the genius of Matt Groening.

[@Cindicado]

I would love to visit FOrt Langley now! Thanks so much

[@annblackmore1035]

Long drab winters make bright colors very longed for.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Very true!

[@SHERRY0010]

Yes, that’s what I always thought . Those colours from the 70’s, kind of make me cringe lol. Brown, harvest gold, avocado green , and the beige not my style . When the 80’s rolled around colour came back via Miami Vice lol. I do like some pastel colours as well .

[@georgehigby]

@@SHERRY0010 I liked the 80s palette too! I’ve grown to appreciate 70s colors but only in the more tasteful ways they were used at the time…I recall a lot of dark and dungeon like rec rooms back then

[@george.carrasco]

Great video George! Thanks for sharing!

[@cecoya]

Wow, that is some amazing things they have. Seen a lot of different stuff but some of the old beautiful stuff too. You have a wonderful day and safe travels.

Fort Langley is super duper. It fills the niche perfectly and is one of the top top secret tourist destinations in North America.

[@valm1569]

Fantastic video lots of fun items 😀

[@angelad.8944]

I am laughing because if you had all the footage of that train on the end, the video may have been 10 minutes longer or more. 😅 I love Carleton ware. Some patterns are so lovely and colourful. You promised us more Chalet and here it is. Nice finds. Around the 3 min mark you show the black stem crystal. In Canada it's usually from Belfor. I always pick it up and put it in my eBay store. It is just so elegant. I have a large lot of it to list this month. The oak pieces you showed us were gorgeous. I would love to have a huge home just to be able to buy it all up, haha. Those Poole Pottery pieces are also awesome. Evangeline ware is actually a line that was made by Canuck pottery which use to be Foley Pottery. The sign means that children are playing so go slow. They are all over Canada. Most do say GO SLOW but it would still be funny. We are so use to it here that I had to laugh at your comment about it. I have never heard of Bond Pottery. The bunny looks a lot like Sylvac Pottery though. Interesting. Robert held glass is one that I can never get my hands on so they are always a great find. The ermine with the egg in the mouth figurine was something I would buy for myself. They live on my property and they are so cute. Did you get the flower wall hanging? That was really cool. That must have been a blast. So many great things to see. Thanks so much for bringing us along. ☺

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I love Carleton ware too! Yes, had to truncate the train lol. I didn't really know Belfor, thanks for giving me a new thing to learn! Poole is so cool. I didn't know Evangeline and Canuck were the same Pottery! I actually was sure the Bond piece was SylVac when I picked it up, they do look similar. That was the first Held piece I've ever found! I had so much fun and I'm glad you did too

[@susanwalt4659]

I really liked this video. I'm not sure why, but probably the history and place I probably will never visit. Thank you for sharing.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Country Lane also has a basement, containing old tools, etc. And beside it is another store with "man cave" collectables - juke boxes pinball, breweryana, tobaccoana, etc.

[@georgehigby]

@@DavidJ.A. can’t wait to go back and see it!

[@DavidJ.A.]

@@georgehigby Hi George, I was in Fort Langley today, inspired by your video. Spent far too much $$$ in Village Antiques, and also got two items in Country Lane. The latter has one corner of genuinely antique Chinese porcelain - unusual in the Vancouver area. Village Antiques, and Fort Langley, always makes a big effort at Christmastime, so perhaps you can make it back up here then!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

That's awesome! I'm glad you had fun. I'll have to get back there and see Country Lane and the associated store

[@james7972]

Great spot. I think you showed some Rodney Kent aluminum ware from the 1930's. Had to hunt for and found an unusual shaped tulip tray with handle. Thanks for the education

18:00: i think the sign tells drivers to drive slow because kids are allowed to play on this street. We have similar signs for small streets in residential areas where cars have to drive at walking speed.

[@CONSTELLATION_PEGASUS]

Good evening, George. I'd like to have one of those moose palms/paddles. I'd do an oil painting on it. I want the friction-drive Roller! Loved that stacking bookcase, but I'd need one of the single-wide ones. I liked those studio art glass tumblers. I'd like to see a pitcher made like them. I'd have to simply turn and walk away form those oil lamps. I have so many now it's unreal, but I do like them...a lot. I have two of the _Cosmos_ by Consolidated Glass. Nice oak furniture there. The ewer/mantle piece, on the top shelf, with the porcelain font, really caught my eye. George, I'm happy you like the Chalet and Chantili pieces 😂 I would love to have a tea set in the "Blossom Time_ Royal Albert. I have one cup and saucer set. That Victorian portrait chair was super-nice! The fabric would have to go, but that's not a big deal. I have an 1837 - 1897 pottery pitcher and cup with Queen Victoria on them. I don't know what the backstamp says, though...much too small for me to make it out 🤓 There were great items there! Thanks for taking us along!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Hello! I'm just catching up to you. I really want to keep a Chalet piece for myself, and I sold 3 of four so just might! Blossom Time is a great pattern, I'm a fan of Royal Albert and Royalty ware as well. The furniture was really well chosen, I thought. I liked that ewer and font too, and the Cosmos always catches my eye! I'm glad you enjoyed this like I did

See how bad tax policy hurts the small business. 🥹

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Yep! So many states and provinces are making us pay sales tax even when were reselling, and then we're supposed to send it to our state and then have them forward it so we can get it back. It's deliberate so we won't bother. It does hurt sales.
