In 1981 I got married in a Jessica McClintock Gunne Sax dress. I had been buying and wearing Gunne Sax skirts, blouses and dresses and thought having one of her wedding dresses would be the ultimate experience. It was beautiful; net and lace and a victorian collar. My mother attached a veil to a picture brim hat for me to wear. I was so happy. There used to be a Gunne Sax outlet in San Francisco; my husband would take me there when we'd go visit his parents in California and I'd come out of there with skirts, dresses and yards of lace for next to nothing. Those were the days.

Laci, I enjoy your videos so much! I was born in 46, so I grew up in the fifties. My favorite collection is kitchenware by Knowlesware from the 40’s and 50’s. My mother had the pitcher and my first piece was the pitcher and lid in perfect condition. Over several years and after visiting antique stores throughout southern Texas, I have a very nice collection and I display it in my kitchen. It is a creamy white color and it is called “Fruit”. The fruit is in beautiful pastels: a pink apple, a purplish plum, a yellow pear and blueberries. I am also very proud of other vintage ware pieces, such as Corningware, Pyrex, refrigerator ware and I especially love my colorful aluminum glasses. Again, I absolutely love your videos! You make me want to find more space in my kitchen! Sorry this is so long, but I just wanted to share so much with you!😊

[@pamelapasechnick6899]

When I was 13 yrs old (mid 1960's) I purchased (with money I had earned babysitting /25 cents per hour) my first interior decorating item. It was a pair of siamese cat figurines like the ones you have. I felt VERY sophisticated.

[@LaciFayTheVintageGirlNextDoor]

That’s awesome. You made a very good choice. 😊thanks for sharing!

[@rysaj1]

I have the cats too. There is two kittens and two adult cats on the complete set.

[@themissingtoothbrush6615]

25c an hour? You should have been making at least a dollar fifty.

[@pamelapasechnick6899]

@@themissingtoothbrush6615 No. The going rate for babysitting in the late 1960's was 25 cents per hour. It didn't go up to 50 cents until the 1970s. In fact, when I got my first "real" job in 1975, minimum wage was only about $1.15 hour.

Tip: for your poodle garbage can, Menards sells a clear "paint" that stops/covers rust and then you can paint over it. I just used in on original handrails on my 1958 home😉

[@DebbieJeansThisAndThat]

The blue bulbs, we had on our tree when i was growing up, but all different colors. When I had a record player and the record was scratched, if you set something on the back of the needle (I had a small magnet) it will help keep the record from skipping. All the clothes look so pretty on you. Thanks for sharing Laci.🦩🐈

[@michelledee9304]

When I was in high school, Gunne Sax was super popular. There was an outlet in San Francisco and everyone tried to get up there to get their dresses for prom.

[@Toyon95]

That name sounds so scandinavian....

[@timriehl1500]

When my sister graduated from hs (1978) she wore a white Gunne Sax dress. She was so proud it was "Gunne Sax:; meant nothing to me.

Omg the Asian figure planters are sooo adorable! You have a good eye!! 😍❤️ And I agree, thrift stores need to have thrift store prices since everything they receive is d-o-n-a-t-e-d!!

[@angelacase2331]

I've noticed my thrift store prices are getting ridiculous for used items. And they hike the prices on pyrex versus other crockery...same with clothing. I try to go when they have sales, but I like to go often so I don't miss out 😁

[@kyasarin131]

I absolutely love love LOVED the black with pink pintucked chiffon and sotache detail dress! It's so elegant!! The collection of kitties were also delightful - I've never seen one while thrifting but it's certainly a dream! My best recent finds were an immaculate 1920s peach silk step-in, a 1950s full-skirted black and orange dress, a 1960s white and yellow embroidered wiggle dress with matching sleeveless duster, a 1960s black wool knit wiggle dress with 3/4 sleeves, and a WW2-era purple formal silk kimono in excellent shape and a rare color for its age. It's been a REALLY good last few months in thrifting land!

[@zelva1961]

$2 for all those kitties... you are so lucky. ♥️

[@SarahM-lw2gd]

4:08 I know that box anywhere! I have a Veg-O-Matic in my great grandmother's shed!! Trust me, if I had the space in my bedroom, I'd bring in every single thing from that shed😂 I did bring in her 1950s radio, 1950s sewing machine, 1950s flour/sugar/coffee/tea tins, and 1930s guitar. Edit: Maybe the toes on the salt and pepper shakers are sticking out like that because the polish on her toes is still drying😂 17:27 I have the January 20, 1958 edition of Life, and more in the shed, I'm sure! I know you said some dresses weren't your style, but I thought you looked lovely in everything! Also, quick shoutout to my great grandma and my grandmother for saving these wonderful things for all these years❤

[@Chowder_head]

My mom had electrolux vacuum. I love thrift stores the items sold bring back memories. I was born 1957. I like to see items of that era. I love 50's music.

[@pumpnix]

Love your vids! Anytime I am crunching and stressing out at work…putting your vids on and listening is so calming! You’ve got me through many end of month crunches! ♥️

[@sabrina9333]

Of course the hoarder house would have a vacuum cleaner in good condition lol 😂 they never used it. Great find on everything & yes thrift store shouldn't be charging the full value of an item 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@LaciFayTheVintageGirlNextDoor]

Lol right?! It probably sat for years! Thank you!!

[@Thaylotus]

Great finds! And lovely house❤️. I like thrifting but I live in London and it's a mixed bag. Some shops are like high end boutiques. You learn what shops to avoid as they clearly look items up on ebay and come up with crazy prizes. Of course, thrift stores here are for charities but come on, somebody donated that. And lately, people has been donated way too much to the point shops have been refusing donations.

[@PoppyDorada]

Just a tip: Handle your records only by the edges and the label. The reason is that our hands can easily transfer dirt/oil to the playing surface which can distort, lead to skipping, etc. Also, OMG you always thrift the most amazing dresses/clothes and they're always your size!!! How??? Seriously, you thrifted 7 very different styles of dress (multiple decades to boot!) and they all look wonderful on you! The last dress looks like it could be a square-dance dress or something along those lines. Just my guess.

[@nuthinbutluv4u142]

To piggyback off this, there is also a special cleaner and cloth you can buy to clean off those fingerprints. I would try Amazon or a record store if you find one. Some shops sell vintage vinyl. Also eBay.

[@michael-499]

I am happy I stumbled on you. I was born 1958. You “show and tell”. I am a man yet wish the days when men and women dressed as “Ladies and Gentlemen”. Today we (society) accepts anything. I own a 2004 Ford Thunderbird yes, it is a retro. I am stating this because it is unique in style and has more character than the vehicles of today. Like you Laci I collect old stuff however, you are a period specific and I like that. Well enough for now. Keep up your dream and I will watch you in your other “episodes”.

[@momof2momof2]

I would LOVE that cream cheese sammie! It was their attempt at healthy lol. Think of the sandwich filling as if it was a chip dip. I make veggie dip often for company and they love it. I use the Knorr dry mix for it. I was born in 1959, and it was very common to have jello with grated veggies, then it was topped with a small dollop of mayo. It's delicious! Your videos are always fun to watch. tfs 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡 My Mom had the hugging s&p shakers but hers were medium brown bears. The black dress is just stunning !!!! I LOVE it !!!! You bring back a lot of memories Thanks ! :) 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

Love all your finds! Bunny salt and pepper was my favorite....I love bunnies!! Have a real one too! Those ice lights, I had one in the 60's that was a night light! Love the cute trash can! Keep it as is! The old vacuum should still work, they lasted forever!! I think you can use cotton balls with essential oils on them for smells! The kitties are so cute!! My grandma collected little dog china animals. Gunne Sax are late 70's early 80's popular, my sister wore a lot of them. You are so cute in the black and pink dress...just so lovely!! The sundress is darling on you! You can find a cute bolero or wrap to go with it. The Mexican dress is so cute!! I love this haul you did...need to cook something with your new books and the great veg-a-matic!! I remember the commercials too!

For that wiggle dress at least for now until you find something to go with it you can use scarves to drape over your shoulders to give it a more fancy nighttime look! 💕

[@SunshineInCA14]

That Supremes Christmas album & pink poodle trash can are cool -- awesome finds!

[@maryhartsock7792]

I love thrift store finds. In the early 1920’s when radio was new, my grand mother was the assistant to the lady that did the “on air cooking show” at KDKA in PA. I later found a spiral bound cook book from the time, I believe the author was the same woman. (My grandmother passed long ago so I couldn’t verify. ). My grand father was an engineer at KDKA during the first radio broadcast. I love antique radios and phonographs. Love to read the old Life magazines too. Especially the ads! Thank for doing this video. It’s just so much fun!

[@deeannehodson4608]

Great show! I loved the vintage kitties. And, my favorite dress was the very last one. I think it looks more Gypsy than Mexican. My mom had an outfit that looked very similar, only it was a skirt with a peasant type top that tucked in and worn with a wide belt! When I was about nine or ten, she tailored it down to fit me as a Halloween costume! (She was quite the seamstress!) Add a head scarf, gaudy jewelry, and bright makeup and voila, you got a little Gypsy girl! Haha! I'm looking forward to your next video! They make me smile! Thank for that!! Peace and joy to you and yours.

I am so envious of your frosted bulbs! We have vintage strings from my childhood and they are so expensive to try and replace. I wish they would reproduce them! The plastic over the bulb really diffuses the light and looks gorgeous. One of my favorite memories from being a kid is inching my way under the Christmas tree (It was always in a corner and always had to be a long needled white pine because I hated short needles. XD) And I loved looking up through the branches at the lights and tinsel. It smelled amazing and looked beautiful! I would occasionally take naps there while we had the tree up. [edit] I've seen a couple people mention using essential oils in the vacuum attachment -if you want to go that route I would speak to your vet first. A lot of essential oils are pretty toxic to kitties even in small doses.

The Islands was a hotel in Phoenix back in the day. Van Buren St/Grand Ave was the main drag and at the advent of the automobile, many people began travelling and so many motels/hotels (and restaurants) went up. A lot were themed. The Islands (and The KonTiki) were polynesian themed, with tiki torches, palm trees, lots of plants and bamboo. The attendants were similarly attired in beachy uniforms. Circa 40's-70's

The pink 70s peasant dress was so pretty on you and I love the 40s with gloves..so classy. I could go on but it was all great and fun to watch. Take care ❤️ 🇨🇦

What amazing finds! And that last dress looked like it fit you just fine!

Thank you!! That last one was pretty tight, but I think I’m going to hold onto it 😊

What an awesome haul. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing each piece. It brought back a few memories of my childhood too. Thank you so much for sharing. From Adelaide, Australia. ❤️

I can't believe you got that Gunne Sax dress for $4! They're hard to come by. Love from Tennessee! 😺
