Shopping at America's Giant Antique & Vintage Fun Center!

This is the place! As we head to this weekend's giant Springfield, Ohio Antique Show Extravaganza, we recall our recent shopping visit with Kate @Followthatbugvintage at another giant antique attraction in town, the Heart of Ohio antique mall.
Kate leads us down a wing of this enormous mall that I've never seen before, so it's all fresh picking for me! So many offerings means the chance of finding a deal is good...a 1930s orange Tiffin console set, a pop-art 1960s flower power compact and a cute Pigeon Forge Pottery duck join the piles of fun stuff Kate is stashing in her voluminous wagon.
We hear a commotion and take a diversion to find @BernerBrotherAntiques and @CrazyLampLady involved in an online sale in their new studio, where a scarce Treasure Craft TV lamp and a copy of my book that we all sign go to a happy viewer! Their backroom sales area features fascinating Victorian feather wreaths, an 1855 dated coverlet and a Weller Etna vase from the 1910s that would be perfect in a modern grey farmhouse interior.
The real fun of this mega mall is the really high quality and number of really unusual items in this place! Victorian era fire alarms and lanterns, a 1936 Olympics pennant, a 1930s Lux/Rinso store display piece, even a 1960s Fred and Wilma Flinstone cookie jar from the TV show's 1961 introduction are just a few of the cool things we see...and wait til you get a load of our haul at the counter!

I can’t tell you how wonderful your videos are. Antiquing and thrift stores were my happy places. I’m a collector of Victorian Vaseline glass and of all things forklifts. Hunting down pieces I don’t have was my hearts joy. I now have a neurological disorder and I’m in a wheelchair. As you know, antique stores aren’t really wheelchair accessible. It breaks my heart to see a good antique store or a “hole in the wall” thrift store and not be able to go in. Watching your videos is like you’re bringing me along with you on your hunt! And you’re so extremely knowledgeable which makes watching even more enjoyable. I just wanted to say thank you. I believe having you come up in my feed was fate for me. I watch every time you post so keep your eyes open for forklifts!😉

[@Desertcrone]

I’m in a wheelchair too so I agree with you. Estate sales and many flea markets are also non accessible. The hunt becomes online and paying a lot more. I love learning from this channel so much.

[@carolreynolds9386]

The Heart of Ohio is accessible. They also have power chairs available to use.

[@loriobrien9023]

I just want to let you know how much I appreciate the extra information you give in the bottom banner of your videos!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I appreciate that! I realize that sometimes things need more amplification after the fact

[@lindabasso6145]

Yes! George’s videos are always an education! I love that about them. It amuses me when people say, “You know so much.” No, I don’t. I just parrot what I hear knowledgeable people say. 😆

[@alanarobertson9827]

Kate is good about finding and pointing out things that she knows will appeal to her friends.

[@cindysemblante4411]

Fun to see you and Kate together and as always I enjoyed learning from you as you shop

[@Chereese0808]

You need several days to shop at Berner Brothers Heart of Ohio. So much to see. Great finds George & Kate!

[@dlittle7983]

In the Netherlands, we also had the slogan "put an tiger in your tank." 🐅 ❣️

[@patricialester2416]

Oh man they really are amping it up I love that good to see you both!!!!!!

[@janetpogue4970]

That is the first tethered, toy, car I have seen . I bet that was fun to play with !!

[@patricialester2416]

I know I wish I still had my Pink panther cups I just love them, I love Pink panther movies

[@MC-qb1jg]

That all of you have a knowledge of vintage, antique, and collectable helps all of us save lost treasures... Lost history. Ill just leave it at that....

[@justhim1710]

Thanks Again for the great Channel, learning so much about American antiques, All the best and love to All , JH✌🏻

[@lindabasso6145]

I always enjoy a trip to The Heart! I’m glad you stopped in that amazing mid-century booth. I like that one.

[@erinnkemp]

I'm glad to see you to together. Great video George.

[@AVXnPHX]

You give me background beyond just what it is. That makes me retain more as I embark on my new journey. Thank you.

[@colleenmcalister211]

This was a fabulous walk through a little part of of Berner Bros Mall, Thank you George, so informative as usual. The little pull toy that Kate found for you is amazing.😊

[@richkroberts]

What a great Antiques Mall! Lots of unusual items I haven’t seen before. Not your typical Antiques Mall for sure. Thanks for taking us along George.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

So true!

[@christines2016]

I never saw a purple cow, I never hope to see one. But I can tell you anyhow I’d rather see one then be one! Childhood rhyme, enjoy!

[@dawnjones-graham5282]

Appreciate your wealth of knowledge!

[@jonnellburgess3437]

I never saw a purple cow, I never hope to see one! But I can tell you anyhow, I'd rather see than be one! I remember learning that poem in 5th grade!

[@janetpogue4970]

Nice to see you with your friends, I wish Tiffany lived closer and could join u also! 🎉

[@jonnellburgess3437]

I love Kate's purse!

[@LauraMe...]

I've smiling since the first frame! I think my cheeks might hurt after. Finding the Berner family was like a homecoming for all the roaming resellers. It's a point of reference that everyone can come back to, to recharge, get together and restock on the road. You and Kate are such a fun combination to watch. She seems more comfortable really sharing her knowledge when you are both talking because you share a lot of the same passions for kitsch culture and the more obscure the better. I love Kate and of course I love you too, George!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

You’re right about that place being a central attraction for us all! I’m so glad you enjoyed this and Kate was a lot of fun to do this with

[@george.carrasco]

Great video George! Thanks for sharing!

[@kimberlywilliamson4040]

My husband and I thoroughly enjoy watching you! That place has awesome stuff, thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge 😊

[@janetpogue4970]

Thank you, nice to see what is in their mall. I enjoyed your video!

[@roseallport3907]

You are so full of information. Love it, thank you

[@cecoya]

I really like those framed feather flower wreaths those were interesting. I loved the whole store but stuck out for me. Thanks for taking me along on the journey. You have a great day and safe travels

[@user-xm3lh9cn4y]

I love watching you. I have an antique booth thanks to you. I know a little bit more on what to look for. 😊

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Yay, thank you and I’m excited that this is helping you!

[@tamarrajames3590]

The China or porcelain pieces than let the light through are often made by cutting holes in the body of the piece, and allowing the holes to be filled with a translucent glaze. Kind of like plique a jour, only with clay. I did a play with Chief Joseph many years ago in Vancouver BC, he was a lovely man. Nice to see him referenced on your channel. It was the Arthur Kopit play Indians, and was quite intense.🖤🇨🇦

[@CONSTELLATION_PEGASUS]

Good evening, George. I liked the blue 1920s vase in the metal base. Those Russian silver fish were fantastic. Loved the old fire alarms. Those would make a rare doorbell or alarm clock 😵‍💫😂 Great haul! Thanks for taking us along shopping with you!

[@laurensouthgate2458]

Enjoyed very much.

[@Texasoma]

Enjoyed this video…there are so many things I’ve never seen…

[@sallyfurger4360]

LOVE this video…Grant I love ALL your videos 👍🏼

[@lauraschmidt2109]

Luv George and his incredible knowledge of everything! I live in Genesee Beer hometown of Rochester,NY thanks for highlighting our beer!

[@OGTallis]

Jocelyn would have had that big, beautiful tray already precariously stacked in a buggy, with lots of other glass. 😂❤️ I love watching her shop. I’m always intrigued that nothing gets broken.

[@rhondacrouse73]

Love your videos. ❤ JoAnn

[@cynthiasanner661]

Thank you for your videos! ❤

[@ninasgriccia4652]

Hi George, 9a here! I love this video! There is so much of what I love. However the very tall green glass Italian wine bottle is great. I collect some, but also just found two 2 foot tall carriage lights in green that also were Italian wine bottles. Put battery candles in them and they are on our mantle. All the best, 9a from Michigan

[@charlottemccaig578]

Lux, Rinso (Blue) and Lifeboy, all from Lever Bros. My parents (thats where they met) worked at the Lever Bros soap side of the plant along with my mother's sister in 1935-1939. My aunts future husband worked on the edibles side of the plant. Family members werent allowed to work, with the exception of kids during the summer, so my mom and aunt had to quit. My dad worked his way up to management. The credit union used to be in the plant so Id go in once in a while...let you in on a secret, soap plants do not smell nice! Employees used to get cases of products for just a few dollars each month, never bought toothpaste, soap, detergent at a store so when I was on my own the price of detergent was a real shock, lol! The memories just came flooding back the second I saw that piece. Thanks for showing it, George.

[@charlenegirouard901]

Great things and you give us amazing information thanks George

[@karlaglover9693]

I always enjoy seeing the Ohio antique mall, They have such a variety of things. Thank you for Sharing, Your knowledge of everything. Please Stay Safe Happy and Healthy Have A Wonderful Day

[@LindaKayHolevas]

11:15 ohhhhh I really loved that Hull butterfly vase! It’s weird because it is nothing like anything I have. Something about it spoke to me though (I loved the shape!) & I would’ve bought it:) Thank you, as always, for sharing so many treasures with us! Safe travels! xo

[@JanGrant]

Such an amazing informational video at the favorite Heart of Ohio Happy to hear you can find some deals here Love those Berner Brothers

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Thanks so much!

[@beckysvintageandmore6002]

Gorgeous laticino! Great to see the Chief Joseph and eagles.

[@korencollections349]

Love that poster. Pink Panther was my favorite too. My father owned a Esso Station.I used to have a case of the glasses. I sold it in a garage sale for $10. Wish I kept them.

[@beckyc.5743]

Very interesting hearing that Rainbow did flash coloring for Blenko pieces in the ‘50’s. Whenever I’ve seen the cranberry, I assumed it wasn’t Blenko! Norfolk, Virginia: Shoney’s!

[@azmike1]

Love the Primitives! Thanks!

[@gailbrassard7203]

Loved this, George! I always learn so much!

[@pammywhammy3521]

Yay George!😊❤

[@jhheart307]

wow, the things they have there!!!! Thank you for the tour!

[@cletasteidle2389]

Loved this video❤

[@1beyond]

My husband had a Gullwing,. I have told you that before

[@PrimeTimeTreasureHunter]

Fun video, George. Funny that you found a Steuben piece because Jocelyn just found one as well. Never heard of mercury glass so always learning something new from you. Hope all is well!

[@Lea-lq5kl]

You are the best George! I always learn something new when I watch your videos. Plus you show really cool stuff! Thank you from Canada

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I appreciate that! Thanks for watching and I always look for Canadian made vintage

[@robynforman1978]

Watching from England

[@loisrussell87]

Fantastic video

[@Stephanie-eh3pl]

Hi George. Always fun and so much info. Not a reseller but info. is always amazing. As you know, I sure perk up when I see all the pretty pink items. Blessings Always

[@crittergirl3647]

@32:18 You know I love the Star of David light!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Yes that was cool

[@kathleencallaghan4867]

Wonderful & interesting finds.

[@alanarobertson9827]

I remember when Jocelyn couldn't spend big bucks for beautiful pieces either. So happy for how she has grown her business.

[@OGTallis]

Same! I adore her! She absolutely deserves all the success, she is always working, and always REAL. I love her whole family.

[@cynthiaaguilar8656]

Great video! I don't see you buy much George so it was great to see you find some treasures! ❤

[@sherrytdallastreasures]

Great video 😊

[@chrisk7626]

I love the Pink Panther when I was a little kid I would love to have that. When are the first jokes I ever heard is a little kid. What did the Pink Panther say when he stepped on an ant. Dead ant dead ant dead ant dead ant😅

[@barbararice1196]

Love the 20th century French piece. $450.00 does seem reasonable, would love to have it in our home. Unfortunately no room @ the present time. Thank you George🙂

[@laurabower3991]

Fun place

[@user-xd2ky4it8m]

Fun❤

[@meredithmsz8629]

It's so cool to see you going through a place so close to home for me. :) This is a great mall. I haven't seen it in your videos, but have you ever visited Ohio Valley Antique Mall in Fairfield or Flamingo Haven in Cincinnati? I think you'd love it at both of those places too if you haven't. Your videos are so calming and fun, and I always have so much fun learning and seeing what you find. I will be at the Extravaganza this weekend and I can't wait!! Thank you for what you make here. :)

[@susanwalt4659]

I had the red moon and stars canister set as a wedding gift 50 years ago. Every time I see it, I kick myself for selling it. Hard learned lesson.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

We all have at least one like that

[@BrydiHeebner]

Very New to your channel ! and, learning a lot because I am a 2 month old "green" , new, reseller! I mostly like the estate sale video's in Florida.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

That is awesome! I travel a lot so will do some other estate videos too

[@janetpogue4970]

George, I am wondering what would be served on the early Napon covered dish. I am thinking it originally had a singular purpose.

[@lisak161]

Great video ❤

[@ConnieJean_9-18]

Hi George! Wishing I was heading to Springfield this week, but we are making plans for fall! Have a great weekend and safe travels! ❤

[@agomodern]

1:30 That gentleman's chest is actually by the Canadian company Tobago. I've had a whole bedroom set like this. 9:50 I have that Jere piece. I'll never sell it because people just don't appreciate it like they should. I think I lowered it down to $450 and woke up from my sleep and took it off the market. The value I put on it is around $850 so I'll just let family sell it off when I'm dead. (Funny, but I'm dead serious.)

[@chrismont5475]

like the mall follow this mall

[@camillethompson6686]

Thank you for these great videos. Thought you would like to know tha a chatelaine was worn on a belt at the waist.

[@TheBethRoszman]

Zeppelin travel was far and w wide well before the Hindeburg incident.

[@dtruetheeness]

I'd like to be beamed down to Springfield.

[@NickeyHildebrand]

At 34:26 you comment on a painting call Spring Leaves, but I can't catch artists name. Could you let me know? It is absolutely stunning!!

[@lenaraay]

Well by george i gotta be there

[@stephenholmes5362]

You need to read the whole story about the 1936 Olympics. Owens was not snubbed by Hitler, Hitler gave out no metals or congratulations to any Olympic winners.
