NEW PLACE FOR OLD DESIGNER ANTIQUES & VINTAGE! | SHOP WITH ME

RESTOCKING MY VINTAGE BOOTHS & COMBING A HIGH-STYLE VINTAGE MALL
This week is a 'two-fer' of sorts, where I show you how and with what I've packed my antique mall spaces, then take you to discover the tremendous vintage mall next door!
We meet as I'm finishing my revamp of my booth at Andrea and Friends Antique Mall, where I cram a lot of vintage boudoir, Victoriana, Native American goods and lovely home accessories into a small space packed with treasures! After a quick review of the fresh stock (including prices), it's off to the main antique district in town to discover a place we've not been before, a wonderful mall called Lion's Paw Antiques and Art.
Lion's Paw is a special place, where designer vintage--handbags, jewelry, MCM furniture and the like--pair nicely with original art, true antiques, art glass and ceramics...if it's high-quality and high style, it's likely to have a place here. We enjoy huge driftwood chairs, Paul McCobb and Paul Frankl furniture, Blenko and Murano glass and dramatic prints as we enter the store. Showcases gleaming with costume, turquoise and fine jewelry, pocket watches and silver delight the eye and pull us further into this surprisingly large and complete collection of vintage objects.
Our interior designer friend at the counter shows us 1920s dance card holders and a strong engraving before we venture to the back, where Italian 1980s furniture and 1880s tin litho advertising share space. A tall oak card file, lucite mirrored dressing table, deco slot machines and local ephemera all grab our attention...the surprises and special things just keep coming! Most surprising perhaps are cases filled with designer purses and sunglasses at a fraction of their original boutique prices.
We wrap up with a quick peek next door at the other vintage space I've been stuffing full of goodies, where we show (and price) everything from Treasure Craft drummers and Pilgrim Glass ewers to Heywood Wakefield cabinets and tambour chests. It's a whirlwind tour, with lots to see and enjoy together!
Here's more of what we discover as we comb these shops for great antiques and vintage:
Floridiana, Miriam Haskell earrings, Victorian cherub tray, Lladro bunny, Franklin Mint eggs, Victorian marble top tables, 1980s hanging lamp, 1980s lotus lamp, Florida cameo glass bowl, police academy sign, Danish modern end tables, Skyscraper rattan end tables, Planner Group table, dressing tables, Heisey New Era candlesticks, Frankoma Plainsman pottery, Mary Gregory tea stand, child's formica table, panther TV lamp, Fenton hanky vase, musical instruments, sterling fraternal dance card holders, DeLaval cream separator ad, cherub/harp lamps, sports memorabilia, Red Wing vases, Lane Brutalist furniture, ephemera, Jaru elephants, Fenton cranberry pitchers, etc.

Not YSL, but Louis Vuitton ;))

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Yes! Louis Vuitton. I'm not sure how I looked right at it and said the wrong name and didn't catch it lol

[@nadinewilliams6465]

Oh Renaissance Turner I kept yelling Vuitton! Too. 😂

Seagull flying over the ocean stunning.

[@AmysIdahoLife]

I enjoy listening to your banter and rapport that you have with your friends and fellow vendors. It's priceless. ♥️

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I'm glad! I really thought about whether to leave it in but I want people to see the real thing, it's a lot of fun being around fellow collectors and afficionadoes

[@dorothyrobdau9626]

Thank you George. everything was so beautiful. Amazing to see your professional self talk right over the party noise there.

[@twistoffate4791]

The branch chairs were amazing to see, and I can see Maleficent sitting on them in her castle lair. Also, whoever was hysterically laughing in the background has a really infectious laugh, lol.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Lol yes! That was Malificent laughing in the background in fact ;)

Love that PAIR of Victorian marble topped antique tables! They send me on a fantasy decorating journey.....dreamy..!

Cool! Have fun with the dream, you'll make it real eventually

[@lfarren1020]

Your booths are fabulous. I love how they are designed. I think it is fabulous that you have something for everyone. Thank you for the tours of all the other things. So many beautiful items.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Thanks I try to be thoughtful of all types of customers!

[@juleslorraine9885]

George your booth is an excellent example of how to create a great eye appeal in a compact space. I could see up planted in that booth and not having ro move much as you have things placed at different levels. Enjoyed this tour👏

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Hello! Thank you for that, I tried to make it so because I realize it's a lot of stuff in a small spot. Making it visible and shoppable is the key

[@user-kc7se9te7g]

You are most certainly the most wholesome channel the youtube alg has shown me. Thank you.

Thank you, I (usually) strive to be!

[@madisonsinger2518]

thank you George for sharing your items as well as other dealers, you are truly selfless

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Well thank you, my motivation is to share, educate and inspire collectors, and there's so much great stuff out there that I couldn't possibly show the width and breadth without showing other people's stuff too!

[@prairiecollectors]

Love it when you show us your various booths. It is so interesting to see how you set them up and what you have or sale. Please continue showing your booths.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Sure thing! I like to show them when I've reconfigured so people can see the changes

[@jodeanerhoades2645]

Thank you George!!!! Excellent as always!!! 🥰

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

You are so welcome, I appreciate it!

[@thevagabondsageinthewoods]

I remember having a lamp in the late 70’s that was sort of lotus-shaped, brown glass of course, and you would just touch the lamp to make it brighter or dimmer or turn off. A touch lamp I think is all we called it.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I remember when they were new and how revolutionary "touch lamp" technology seemed

[@zanetaylor5639]

George, thank you for sharing your knowledge on vintage and antique items. I always learn a lot.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

My pleasure! I sure have fun bringing them to light for other viewers

[@anitakennedy1977]

Everything looks beautiful, George.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Thank you so much! I try to make it as nice as I can

[@lindagsmith7846]

Love the Native American section, always beautiful details. Nice booth, very appealing colors. Those chairs would be a very select buyer & probably useless other than conversational. Thank you for a nice video🎇

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I really enjoy all that Native American as well! The chairs were very specific but someone made an offer while I was there. Glad you had fun?

[@aliciamullaney6634]

O M G you must do a tour of the jewelry in Andrea & Friends! Yet another of your haunts that I could stay in all day 😂😍! Very smart decision to showcase boudoir items at your booth there because you are right, there looked to be an unbelievable amount of amazing vintage pieces and your items will stand out 👍🏼. Your booth turned out great. I would love to browse there😄.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Thanks! Yes, Andrea has amazing jewelry. I will go through and film eventually

[@ToledoAntique]

wow that lamp.... just wowwwww... my wife is almost jumping through the computer to get it

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Lol I believe it, that's a really stunning one!

[@debbeechy]

Wow great stuff. Loved the tall narrow file folders. Your finds looked great.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

That was a great form for those! I'm used to blocky and stocky that take up lots of floor space

I can't thank you enough. For years I have been trying to remember the name of the designer of my slipper chairs from my parents. My parents are deceased and all I could remember from my Mom was Paul....Now I know McCob!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Oh, nice! Paul McCobb was a really good designer, how nice that you have them still

[@colleenbraun5792]

Wow, that bohemian lamp, sheesh, gorgeous. The chrome fish lamp too! The Frankel bamboo/rattan set is beautiful. Wish it was here in OR. OMG the rattan DESK! I would have that in a heartbeat. Oh look! you have the small/kid's version of my dining room table! The cracked ice Formica in a teeny size? I love it.

Fun to hear you are a Tampa Bay Lightening fan. I met Tyler Johnson when he was young, playing for the Spokane Chiefs. His grandmother was a co~worker and he would volunteer for fundraisers, etc. Was known as a very nice young man.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

That's so cool! I remember hearing he played for the Chiefs

[@texasoma9339]

I so enjoy watching you...so interesting and informative....knowing the prices helps also...but most of all the tone of your voice is so calming............Harry is loud.......lol!!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Oh thank you! I try to share prices to an extent, I like people to focus on the object as much as the price but I know it helps people out in the field

[@garlandedwards1749]

Thanks sooo much George. Very informative and you are always give so much detail on things. Your booth is fantastic!! I could watch you go piece by piece and talk about everything. Lots of Love and Kindness.

[@CONSTELLATION_PEGASUS]

Hey George! I didn't make it to the premier...contractor here working on the house. Those marble-topped Victorian tables would've most likely came home with me. There are a couple here, now, and those would make some nice ones to possibly replace some others. Loved the painted Russian samovar! That settee, to the left of the "Planner Group" table interested me. I really like that style furniture. Those Meissen urns are fantastic! That spool case is really nice! I like the old wood spools with tread still on them, and use some, along with a complete set of the Wade Nursery Rhyme whimsies, in an old printers' drawer to add colour to the display. Loved that fireplace screen, and the French clock! That cameo art glass vase is super nice! You have a fantastic booth!!! That Meissen box is one fabulous piece!!! I'd love to have that!!! Great tour of those shops, and your booth!!! Thanks!!!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

My pleasure! I'm intrigued by the contractor comment...are you adding a wing for future collections? I'd like to do that myself :) I'm really glad you enjoyed this one and there are so many varied items, I liked that you were able to pick out treasures that were true antiques even though the stores emphasize "vintage"

[@CONSTELLATION_PEGASUS]

@@TheAntiqueNomad Mother had a small porch, on the back of the house, closed in and converted into a closet/storage area. Now I get the fun of prepping, painting, installing shelves...etc. My eye is going to naturally go to the true antiques 😉 That's where the true craftsmanship, beauty, class and the, "They don't make 'em like they used to!", is found.

[@rainsongs9]

wowWeeee! george thank you for showing so many different styles and different things !! i'd like to shop your booth , looks great! safe travels to kentucky we are happy to have you ! loved the czech fruit lamp so unusual and probably pretty rare . i love color so i love the blenko and the 5 layer cameo glass vase beautiful ! your so easy going - you did rock that cowboy hat!

I would love to visit your booth and the entire street. Those shelves are so loaded I hope you sell a few things before the shelves sell or you will be up a creek!!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I hope so too! It usually works out (partly because they can't visualize the furniture until it sells)

[@cherylmellblom9736]

George, always so much great stuff and more education. I will send you an email with photos of things I think I might want you to consign. I am south now and won’t be home in Michigan until late March.. or early April.. and I definitely don’t want to waste your time. I just wish that I had hanged on to much of my parents’ things that I got rid of because they were ‘junk’, etc. Right now my husband is using a much bastardized 50s dresser in the garage and with what we have done, it is not worth anything now. So expect some photos and if you aren’t interested, they will be my kids problem! I like your hat by the way.....you are just so much fun in a quiet and unassuming way.
