Thrifting For Resale Fiestaware Finds!

[@KevinGonzalez-jh3vs]

I can't believe you are painting with the Fiesta right there. I love my fiesta dishes and have just about every color and I am freaking out watching you paint so close to it and then touching it with paint on your hands. You just told everyone how great your fiesta find was and the prices. I know this is an old video but please show some love for your great fiesta finds.

[@sherryberryblueberry6156]

My mother had those kind of divided Fiesta Ware plates, 50 years ago! As kids we loved them. She gave them away before I was old enough to take them to my own home.

[@JamiRayVintage]

Ah bummer. 😞

[@staciegulizia4144]

Mom+business owner+recovering from sickness+reclaiming an old farmhouse= no shower (sometimes). It happens! I totally get you. You know I love how genuine you are. Thanks for being you!💖💗💞💞💞

[@sherryg7722]

Before you wash your Cabbage Patch doll you might contact the "Cabbage Patch Hospital" in Cleveland, Georgia. They actually take the vintage dolls and rework them. The facility is actually the place where the first dolls were created. They also have the Teddy Ruxpins (spelling?). There is a new KZbinr "Sue Me" . She makes some really nice tiered plates and uses a very small pitcher or cup for the top. I really love to watch you all creating and working together. Jamie please take care of yourself. God bless you two and your family and happy creating. Sherry from Alabama.

LOVE the bench & the tiered tray is a winner. Great info on fiesta. My oldest daughter collects. I had no idea Homer Laughlin was the original... I learn so much from yall! And you make it so much fun❤

[@je_schwa]

Tip for checking cobalt Fiesta, take a picture of the bottom with flash on and you may be able to see it.

[@mysettingsmysettings2997]

You should do a project out of the diy empty cans?🥰

[@grandcp9278]

Yes, the cabbage patch doll can be sent to Baby Land General Hospital, Cleveland GA ...I live in Cleveland and BLG is really a neat place to visit, especially with children. I remember years ago when the cabbage patch dolls were a big ticket item and cost anywhere from $100 to $ 150. Crazy!

[@JamiRayVintage]

That is a lot!

[@grandcp9278]

@@JamiRayVintage Your telling me! My husband & I had to be "crazy" to spend that much on a doll (actually 2)...but when your girls are crying and really would like a cabbage patch doll, what is a parent to do? We should have walked away, that's what we should have done. Boy have our perspective on finances changed drastically from then to now.

[@nancycavins402]

Great job on the bench you guys! Luv it! And the 3 tiered tray is too cute!

[@jschwederslp]

The tiered tray could be used as a hot chocolate bar. Peperment sticks, marshmallows, cinnamon sticks, orange slices.......

[@beckyshields700]

Make a cute counter top water fountain from the tea sups & saucers.

[@springhernandez7417]

That three-tier that Zeb made was too cute. The bench turned out awesome,I’m so with you Jami on the fesata plates I like the mixed colors as well. As always your finds are good one even if it’s not a lot.

[@reneecraddock6072]

I use chipped plates as saucers under flower pots

[@crabbyblonde13]

Watching the replay, great video....love the realness of it all, the bench looks so fresh, way better and Zebs tidbit tray is adorable and original ♡

[@carolynlunel9382]

I love the bench!!!!Turned out great❤❤❤ If your church gives "teas" they'd prob love using the tiered trays like Zeb created..and I adore the different "shades" of white dishes, Zeb! Really a cute coffee bar tray idea,too!

[@cozyvamp]

Ooh! We had those divided plates when I was little, but only for the kids. /;) I have a ton of Fiesta that's been in the family since before I was born. I love it and have never stopped using it. The old stuff is so much sturdier and cooler. Good for you finding so much good stuff! Those blue mugs I'm pretty sure are not Fiesta, at least not vintage. That's not a shape they produced back then...at least I've never seen it, and we don't have any although we have a ton of different things, even some that are fairly unusual.

[@paulamcclellan8413]

Watching this late, but I think a matching cup turned right side up on top, of the 3rd plate, use it for flowers, would be really cute

[@MsSnicker10]

Love the BENCH! And the green IS perfect. And agree. Need more JRV in Dallas!

[@julesjam215]

I want that chicken. My entire regular daily dishes are all fiesta ware. I have the new stuff from 25 yrs ago. But my grandmother had the vintage fiesta from way back.

[@angiecarrera820]

Totally interested in watching you guys do more furniture stuff!

[@judyblack6640]

The orange is "radio active red". Homer Laughlin couldn't get a true red until they reissued in the modern Fiesta. Yes, the small "f" is vintage. A fully glazed bottom with pin marks on the bottom is a sure sign it is vintage. The pins held the piece off the kiln floor prevent the glazed piece from sticking to the kiln. The cups with the round handles are vintage. Many pieces are not marked. The divided plates are wonderful. The mugs are soooooooooo wonderful. I am collector and you hit the jackpot. Butter dish. Sigh. Yes, the ivory gravy boat is vintage.

[@Peggyanns]

When collecting Fiesta ware, the vintage plates and saucers are completely glazed underneath. They have 3 small pinlike holes on the under rim. Yours are very nice.

[@nicolethijs5428]

Peggyann Smith crazing is not good if you want to use theitems. Bacteria creep under the glaze so it will never be good to eat from.

[@Peggyanns]

Nicole Thijs I agree!

[@debbiegavin353]

Egg cups would be cute in the middle of the tiered sets.

[@fionadevries8856]

Hi Carts and Millie 12:02, so thankful for you selling JRV, Paint Pixie and IOD in Australia.

[@karenhills8535]

Very fun thrift haul. The bench turned out very pretty, the cup and plate tiered stand is also a fun idea

[@laurieberry8761]

Love to watch you live every Saturday night!!! You guys are joy-filled!!!

[@darlenekovach502]

I love everything you guys do but I would LOVE to see you do some large pieces, as Zeb mentioned.🙂

[@katherineg7809]

Nice job Zeb. Another great video. Thank you for sharing your skills!

[@adrews72]

I have a mix of Fiestaware since the early 90’s. I’ve never seen the section plates before. What an awesome find.

[@reneecraddock6072]

The sectioned plates are called grill plates

[@Sarahd1021]

Love the old Fiestaware! Yep the green is my fav too 😍And those are bowls. DI is THE best place to thrift! Taking me back with Cabbage Patch Kid! Still have mine!

[@rhondagurley3466]

Zeb you did a great job on the tiered tray❤👍

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thanks!

[@memagranola]

Love the bench. Your videos are so inspiring. Thanks for sharing 🙏👍

[@maggiep3129]

Jami - Something for your phone that would take up less room on the table. Zeb could even glue it to a block of wood if you wanted to raise it up higher to be able to see it better. It's on Amazon (of course!)...[Updated Solid Version] OMOTON Desktop Cell Phone Stand Tablet Stand, Advanced 4mm Thickness Aluminum Stand Holder for Mobile Phone (All Size)... And it's only $8.99! Happy Holidays!

[@angelchambers2200]

i have a tiered tray i made love it i decorate for the seasons Love u guys

[@ptl5799]

Furniture pieces yes! Love all your videos.

[@bobbiek2960]

Your cute butter dish would make a beautiful spoon rest. I stood in line with my mom mom, she had 34 dolls when she passed. Zeb’s tray would make an awesome coffee bar.

[@susanchristiansen3781]

You guys are the best! Great job on plate their Zeb. Just listening to the both of you makes me laugh.

Girl!!! Don't worry about the shower. With all you've got going on alongside kiddos, sometimes a shower just isn't a priority.

[@jimazimmerman577]

Great job on that bench Zeb

[@kimmurray6140]

Love watching you guys. E6000 is great...to hold your tray together while making it add hot glue as well.

[@teebirds7152]

Love the bench, great job Zeb!

[@sherryhudson9075]

Use one on the bottom as a stand. Probably better without the handles

[@wandasnowflake_5039]

I love the dishes so Beautiful

[@dorothyway9762]

The white bottoms are the very new colors.

[@trishae5601]

Color is very important in Fiesta. Pastel colors are relatively newer. They also retire certain colors so they are more valuable.

[@bonnie-anglin_art373]

Yes, More big furniture would be great!!

[@catherineannhunter3]

Try the trays with the mugs right side up! It would leave more room on the tray

[@lory6605]

To make it easier to pick up, you could add short wooden legs to it.

[@juliacockroft8745]

Put three or four dots of hot glue on your item, then put the E6000 BETWEEN the hot glue dots (don’t mix them, it will take forever to dry 😀). The hot glue will stabilize immediately so you can work with the item while the E6000 dries. I’ve seen other crafters use this method and they swear by it.

[@shabbysuse7821]

Love the stencilling on the bench.

[@P.T.A.655]

Yes that plate is the old red. But it looks orange

[@deborahdeboer1175]

I keep looking at dishes to make tiered trays, but I haven't taken the step yet. We are the opposite of you. We don't get much snow -- especially before Christmas. (We live in SW Ontario, Canada.) Except for the year we poured the footings for the addition on our farmhouse. That year (2010), we got a snowstorm on December 12 that was the biggest most insane storm I have ever seen. Crazy thing is, it was literally a lake effect storm that only covered about two counties as opposed to a large part of Ontario.

[@JamiRayVintage]

Oh man! That’s a bad luck snow storm!

[@barb.b]

The yellow mug your husband just showed wasn’t an original cup. I grew up with the original Fiesta. The cups were like old coffee cups not mugs. 😂

[@sundayscomrad4877]

YES HUTCH AND FURNITURE! YAY!!!

I think the bird as a handle or the little rooster on top

[@sandandsparrow]

My son got that same Cabbage Patch doll when he was born 35 years ago.

[@PinkElephantLTD]

Homer Laughlin is actually from a little town called Newell West Virginia! I live 20 minutes away. That orangey red I believe is called Persimmon. Nice Find!

[@dorothyway9762]

The orange is called red by fiesta. These are not the oldest colors. There is a site to tell you when the different colors were made.

[@crescentmooncottage]

I love Fiestaware. I’ve been collecting it for almost 30 years ❤️ I have several vintage pieces but most of my collection is P86 (post 1986). I don’t collect for value. I look for shapes I don’t currently have or when they come out with a new color (gotta have every color). My kitchen is a riot of color ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 I’m not sure if anyone answered but those blue mugs are not fiestaware. They are not the right shape or color. And while some fiestaware isn’t marked, a mug would be. The butter dish while vintage is newer. I believe the orange-y dish is a vintage color, red. It’s hard to tell from my iPad. Fiestaware can be very expensive to ship because of how heavy it is. The yellow mug that Zeb liked has what’s called a ring handle. The green creamer is also not fiestaware. I was just thinking that you haven’t paint a lot of furniture lately. Would love to see that again. Skeleton Key is so pretty. The bench came out great. Sometimes I had difficulty deciding where to distressing something as flat as that bench.

[@arbuckleoakshomestead6800]

My Mother in law is a fiestaware collector. >>not me

[@saraleecoleman4427]

The Cabbage Patch is vintage. Twenty years or older!

[@artisticwriter]

I have had the experience with E6000 when putting a handle on a glass butter dish. I put it in the refrigerator on a hot day and went to lift the lid with the handle and it came off. So I think it is susceptible to both hot and cold temps. Just an FYI.

[@evek8220]

Love to see videos on furniture

[@barbiet9719]

Yes, I love the smalls but please throw in some newer videos of larger painted furniture. Thnx

[@loridixon1509]

Furniture would be awsome

[@beckyfischer7025]

Have you thought of any ways that you can repurpose an empty DIY paint can? Just a thought. I saw a lady who repurposed gallon paint cans. One of the things she uses it for was for coffee pods which she labeled. I believe her KZbin channel is White Cottage.

[@JamiRayVintage]

I’ve thought of some ways but the DIY paint cans are plastic with a metal rim on top so I’m not quite sure how to use them.

[@judehogan3287]

Large pieces would be great!

[@willothwisplx2516]

That bench came out so pretty.

[@99gypsies]

Hi there. I worked in a Fiestaware shop a very long time ago -- and I also collected it for a long time . . .the dark blue mug is not Fiestaware, and the teacup with the round handle is actually Riviera, which is a separate line of Fiestaware. Look up Riviera online to see which pieces are Riviera. The orange is radioactive. I use the orange as a plate under a soup bowl and stuff like that. The green one (the glazed one at 10:58) is not Fiestaware. If the dark blue creamer is Fiestaware, it is Riviera. There is another line called Harlequin. The three lines are all made the same, in terms of the colors and glaze, but the shapes are different, and Harlequin is lighter, slimmer, with sharp angles, less chunky. I don't think you have any. But you can find it all online I am sure.

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thanks!

Shades of white🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ I worked at O'Reilly Auto Parts for 10 years. I was the commercial manager for a few years so I mixed ALOT of paint. My shop guys were great! They called me with paint codes that I could just put in our system with more info and it would print a formula for me to mix. Sometimes we had to use the color eye, which scanned the actual vehicle and then created a formula. Then came the 'professionals' the shade tree painters ( my hubby is a shade tree mechanic lol so I loved those guys too) who wanted some JUST WHITE paint😳 There is NO SUCH THING AS JUST WHITE! 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ gray white, yellow white, red white, black white, green...blue even purple😭 sooo...being careful not to be a bossy woman telling a man... I just sweetly explained that I didnt want to get it wrong & carried them to my paint computer, typed in white for all years, makes & models EVER created and let them scroll through the 9 bazillion chips, all which look the same on the computer😁 When their eyes started glazing over I would offer to mix a few samples with different base tints and they could try them & check them in different lighting, which will also change that white again. We always made sure our customers were happy. Even when the next customer wanted JUST BLACK paint😳😂 & then next wanted slime green with no info on it...so we mixed & dripped til we got it👍 I love paint...or maybe I've inhaled too many fumes! Thats why my now job is painting furniture. My niece wants me to paint a dresser for her...JUST GRAY 🤣🤣🤣

[@prairiescraps]

I did some jewelry stands with candlesticks and small antique plates - couldn’t sell that at craft fairs or a store booth for the life of me. Can’t decide what to do with them...may have to donate them. I still think they are super cute idea, but just not something that sells in my area.
