THRIFTING, ANTIQUING, BLUEBERRY PICKING IN NEW ENGLAND

Join Patty as she spends time with family antiquing, going to lunch, thrifting, and blueberry picking in New England. There is so much to see and do in this region, particularly in the summer and hopefully this video will inspire you to get out there and explore. Eat, drink, shop, pick, and laugh.
Enjoy!! #relativelyrefined #cottagestyle #thrifthaul

Thrifting, antiquing, and blueberry picking .. what could be more fun?! What are your favorite summer activities?

[@kathleenharrington5856]

Such a great day! Hoping we can do it again in the fall

[@relativelyrefined]

Absolutely! The big barn sale!!

How I clean Waterford roses bowls or vases. Powder dish washer detergent and hot water. Let set over night. I have a old baby bottle brush and in then morning I use the brush and dump out the water. Rinse well and it’s usually sparkly clean. Another use for those salt bowls is I used them for giving my mother her medicine. Setting them at the table for breakfast meds or dinner meds. I have a magnifying glass I take with me all the time. Some older Waterford pieces don’t have markings. Most of the lismore pieces do. I think your little rose bowl is lismore. The more you look up the more you can identify.

Christy - thank you for all the wonderful suggestions! Someone else said they use their salt cellar to hold their pills as well. That is such a great idea and I never would have thought of it! I will try your crystal cleaning method! Thank you!!

What beautiful thrift finds! Wow. I also loved those glass decanters, the stoppers on those bottles were exquisite! Nice to see your mother, I’m sure she had a wonderful visit.

[@relativelyrefined]

We always love having mom come visit! She has really enjoyed herself and we will miss her when she leaves next week!

Patty, What a lovely summer you are having with family and your dear mother. Kathleen's table setting and spread looked just lovely. The blueberries are bountiful, the luncheon looks so good and I enjoyed the tid bit of Ken Burns! Your flowers are beautiful and the outfit is darling. The footed Waterford bowl is stunning and quite the deal! Now let's address the real treasure - Chinoiserie styled bandaids ! Those were made just for you - Happy Birthday!

[@relativelyrefined]

Thank you so much, Marybeth! We have had a lovely summer. I hope you have as well! Mom is getting ready to head back to Florida and we will miss her! I agree with you - those bandaids are the star of the show! LOL. Thanks for the birthday wishes!

I use a salt cellar to hold my pills before I gulp them down. A jeweler’s loupe would be less bulky than a magnifying glass to carry when thrifting. I got one on Amazon for around $6-$7. Beuatiful items!

[@relativelyrefined]

I love the idea of a jeweler's loupe! I'm heading to Amazon right now! I also love that you use your salt cellar for you pills - such a great idea!

[@sadieladydubois2763]

[@pattiburke867]

I have my moms old bottle brush it works well for getting into small openings

[@relativelyrefined]

Thanks for the suggestion! I remember my grandmother having a bottle brush!

[@RosalieCarusone]

Hello. Where is the thrift store in Manchester VT. I love Manchester

[@relativelyrefined]

It is on Route 7 on what we call the flats - near the Congregational Church.

[@jeannet9592]

The Waterford is gorgeous and an amazing find. Those blueberries are a dream!

[@relativelyrefined]

Thank you so much! I’m enjoying these blueberries immensely! 🩷

[@RosalieCarusone]

If the bowl has 16 points (cut Glass) it’s Waterford

[@relativelyrefined]

Good to know! Thank you!

[@janeevans1116]
