Xeno is invariably trying to trip you up....give George the credit he so aptly deserves!!!!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Lol yes, he likes to challenge me...but sometimes he makes me look at things I wouldn't have seen otherwise, so I don't really mind!

[@tracyhammond460]

I'm so glad you are at home with Xeno, it's really more entertaining when he has the camera watching you, and making commentary...I enjoy your channel, have a booth of my own because of you, but you and Xeno make an awesome duo..

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I like it too! It lets me concentrate on the merchandise more. I'm excited you got a booth, I hope you do really well, we definitely are glad to have new folks join us selling in the real world

I had the Clairol makeup mirror in high school. Happy Thanks giving to you and yours, George.

All I know is that I would not want one of those mirrors now, at age 57, because I have zero desire to see my wrinkles up close, lol. Let the 20-somethings use them!

Hi George! I thrift in Evansville frequently (I'm not a reseller) I ended up purchasing the Pfaltzgraff bird canister (from Seek & Find) for my sister in law who collects that pattern. It had been marked down to 11.90 by the time I got there.

That Le Crueset set was a steal if you cook. Bet it lasted five minutes if the inside was in good shape. Enameled cast iron from France doesn't come cheap.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

That's true! Not cheap, but easy to scorch if you weren't reasonably cautious

[@Moekristie]

Thanks for highlighting WATT POTTERY ... I have a few pieces that I really love ... Giant Chargers ... I'm a sucker for giant Chargers, bowls, and platters ... All completely impossible to store lmao 🤣🤣🤣

[@stephaniesharkey3538]

I have that cheese tay and dome!!! The tray is side by side style instead of dome in the middle! I use the dome on small dishes / cake type plates!!!!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Nice idea! The shape is good for many things

[@OriginalNethead]

My ReStore is 1/5 the size of that one, but every so often blind-luck buys happen. Found 14k earrings, the mark was hidden, for 50 cents once! They overprice a lot, especially if the "expert" prices it at full retail, but when they goof they goof!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

That's a fact! I realize many things won't be in my budget, but I'm happy with the things that are. I got a 14k emerald ring at a shop once that was so dirty they couldn't read the mark!

[@CONSTELLATION_PEGASUS]

Good evening, George! What style and period were those green tufted and gold chairs? Those would definitely take a specific decor...and taste...to use them. I like that anodised aluminium beverage set. I have a set with a Bakelite handle on the pitcher. I liked those antique oval frames...not so much the contents, but definitely the frames. I have a 16 x 20 antique oval portrait of Jenny Lind that I really like. That was a pretty tall case clock, next to the blue sofa. Not a whole lot that caught my eye, but really enjoyed the take-along!!! It's always good to shop places you've not been. You never know what might be waiting on you 😉

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Those were very specific and very 1960s to me! I like those aluminum beverage sets very much but I have fillings so drinking out of them not so good for me. Jenny Lind was so popular in her time, it's amazing someone from over 150 years ago has transcended time! I'm glad you had fun, I know it wasn't all that for a serious collector like yourself but I do like to take a snapshot of what is in these thrifts since a lot of people dig them

[@getitvintage]

The Fire-King Turquoise blue bowl did originally come in the hammered aluminum, I had it it MIB at one time. The aluminum is an ice bucket design by Nasco. That price is a steal for that set. 🙂

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I should've gotten it!

I’ve been disappointed in our Wa. ReStores. They tend to be quite high priced. Have you noticed differences as you have traveled about?

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I sure have, not just between stores but within the same store. I think they're just starting to get used to "smalls" and the pricing is uneven...but that can mean bargains too

[@lauradoxtater1301]

Happy Thanksgiving George, hope it’s a pleasant time for you & Xeno. The Restore in my town is my favorite place to find treasures. My most coveted find was on the 25 cent clearance shelf, an original painting by Ma Pe Wi a Zia Pueblo artist active in the early 1900’s. A close second was an antique Meissen covered box which turned out to be a book piece, paid $8.

Wow, what a find! I like the ReStores as well

[@bushelandpeck1501]

Thanks for more suggestions for thrifting in Evansville, George! Looks like i'll have to make a day of it w/ an empty truck, lol. While remodeling our house a few years ago i frequented the ReStore in Bowling Green frequently! I like where the money goes to help. Seriously went 4 or 5 times for a number of things. They had a lot of useful & unique things. Some things looked like they'd come out of the dorms, which may have been remodeled, since that is a college town (Western Kentucky University).
