Leave your clothes and fill your suitcase with treasures 😊you can always get more clothes

[@lauriehughes8130]

Amen!

[@Korenscollections]

That’s what I told him in another video. You can always get cloths. How often are you going to fine these great treasures.

[@jeanneroser9762]

What a great idea!!!! For sure

[@pstep691]

That’s what I do. I take old clothes and just leave them with a note saying I left them on purpose.

[@joanb8489]

Jeffrey, You are a hoot. I can feel your adrenaline. I’m right there with you!!!!!!!

[@jeanneavery8232]

I always loved watching your videos. But, since you moved to Florida, there is a sparkle in your eyes that is beautiful to see.

[@patrobinson361]

Jeffrey, I am going to miss when you have no more travel vlogs from Italy. They have been so awesome. Can’t wait for your next adventure. ❤️☺️🎉❤️

[@suzbunting]

Breakdown and buy a cheap thrift store empty suitcase to bring your wares home in. Who knows when you’ll be that way again. Do it Jeffrey, I know you can do it!!! Go Jeff Go lol!!!

[@psmith-kk3ex]

That's what I was thinking. Buy a small suitcase to maybe carry on and fill it with purchases.

[@SherryAnnOfTheWest]

LOL --- we have duffle bags from almost every major city in the world ... Usually end up throwing all the dirty laundry in those and store our "treasures" in our better suitcases to haul them home....

[@vickiromines1552]

Jeffery you did a me with the door 😆 🤣 😂 So HAPPY for YOU to be in ITALY 🇮🇹

[@amypaparone55]

Jeffrey! I laughed so hard after you said you were standing outside for a good three minutes trying to get in that I had to pause the video! You bought some great things. My favorite was the copper pot. 😍 so glad you had or are having such a good time! Your group is going to Miss you!

[@christinegreywolf]

FYI - It's probably too late but remove the painted canvas from the wood stretcher bars and roll them up. You can restretch them onto new wood back home. You can even do that with the prints you were looking at. Museums did that kind of thing often for storage and travel. It's worth repeating but you should always travel with clothes you are okay with leaving and fill up your suitcase with collectibles.

[@luvnalaska44]

Poor Jeffrey. You look so tired. That was an eventful trip! So happy you went and had such a nice time. So fun getting to see it through your eyes.

[@gloriaquintanilla4640]

The doggies n rooster were cute! It's fun tagging along with you ☺️

[@erinmaxwell8133]

I love the metal acorn piece.🐿

[@velmamendoza1120]

How did you decide on such amazing pieces? I loved everything that you bought and I am so glad that you went to Italy with your friends. Good for you!

[@judylitton2048]

Put all the jewelry and small pieces inside the metal tea pot.

[@joannnelson9847]

Jeffrey...BUBBI....the shops can mail things to you!!!!

[@annmariemarin5513]

This is fantastic! Thrifting in Italia!!

[@brandonwendt1312]

Jeffrey, I really enjoyed seeing your trip and all the fun things you found it so cool to find vintage and antique items that are so different to what we have here. Thank you for sharing with us.❤

[@delmorrow896]

What you called a bathrobe is actually a lady’s peignoir, which is a lightweight dressing gown meant to be worn over a matching nightgown. Were the amethyst stones in the necklace cold to the touch? If not, they’re probably acrylic. You can always put small breakables inside socks to help cushion them in your suitcase. Be sure to keep the matting and backing with the art when you take them out of the frames so that you’ll have it to keep the pieces from creasing in your suitcase. I know you’re home now, but just suggestions for future trips.

[@darcybloom-boedefeld5046]

It is so great watching this! What a great idea to go there!

[@peggypeter8070]

I love watercolors! Wish I had thought to go thrifting when I traveled!

[@dianajemison105]

I don't know if you noticed, but one of the handles on the aluminum piece, with the acorn, looked bent or broken. I love that little copper tub!

[@marggyreppeto-pi6re]

The man and woman with the fountain was beautiful. I would of paid to get it home to always be a happy memory of Italy.

[@Brabronacus]

I thought it was great too.

[@kellywoods2899]

You could put the jewelry and small items in the tins for safe keeping in your luggage? That's an 💡 idea lol Love your show

[@kimeverhart6253]

That little copper pot is ADORABLE!! I would definitely buy copper in Italy if I were there!! AND ART!!

[@nancygermann3840]

More lovely treasures. Such fun.

[@janetpogue4970]

Great Video Jeffery

[@dlittle7983]

Great shops. You got some nice items. I think the little pot with unicorn on top is made from pewter. Or a mix with other metal. ❣️

[@dkline032]

The pretty blue floral Looks like a dressing gown.

[@Sam_A_]

I would LOVE to go shopping with Tina! She’s so cool and fun!

[@tshockmom69]

Buy the print! Take the frame apart, put in a poster holder, roll up the print, and have reframed and new glass when you get home. Buy more suitcases! I bring two, one nested inside anotherand a backpack. I can check two bags, use the backpack full also as my carryon. Lol.

[@jeanneroser9762]

Once in a lifetime opportunity. Please have no regrets leaving things 🙋‍♀️🌹

[@nemophilistnay]

Lavamano means wash by hand. I REALLY love the picture toward the end that’s hand drawn. I wish you’d gotten it! That sunset and the coloring is lovely. What a neat experience!!

[@kimkirksey562]

The purple glass bud vase for 5.euros....I wish I was there

[@luvnalaska44]

Mansplaning the water fountain.,😂😂😂 You crack me up.

[@hopemostoller5706]

I really love little thrift stores. you can never know what u can find and it's almost always a good price. the thrift shop in my town is awesome I'm friends with the owner and can always get deals .great video as always jeefrey hope ur having a amazing summer❤

[@hopemostoller5706]

@@SisterShirley I thought it was just a nice thing to say. And to say little thrift shops or stores are awesome that's all I know some things are misspelled but everyone knows what it says

[@SisterShirley]

@@hopemostoller5706 Without punctuation, what you wrote is just one long sentence.

[@lisaday1660]

Jeffrey, i hope you brought Barb a beautiful momento back from your travels!!

[@peggypeter8070]

When traveling I purchased a cheap piece of luggage and wrapped treasures in my dirty clothes and everything made it safely home! Didn’t you need a lid for that teapot?

[@andreabenson2491]

Those were awesome little stores! It's hard when your space for bringing home is limited - the lithograph for 30 was awesome - glad you got some art hope you keep them to remind you of your fun trip!

[@ninasgriccia4652]

Jeffrey, it’s kinda bothering me that you don’t at least try a few words in Italian. It is always polite (in any European country) to say hello when you enter - Buongiorno. Ask the cost quanto costa. And say thank you Gratzi. It’s just being polite to your host country, Otherwise, I am enjoying the trip with you!!

[@jeanzyskowski827]

Thank you so much for this trip! This would be a dream!

[@carolgadles7045]

Get yourself another large carry on for extra room for all your thrift items. That’s what I’m did in Ireland 🍀🍀 so much fun watching you in Italy ❤️

[@lolaseymour1532]

Another enjoyable video! You're making me want to go to Italy! Such beautiful items.

[@shawnblevins2138]

Some great finds Jeffrey. Thanks for the shop along.

[@mercuryrain9466]

Just get what you want and ship it home! 😅

[@maryfurey3543]

❤ Ciao Jeffrey, great job. Thanks!

[@Brabronacus]

I really liked the last shop, so many great things.

[@janvafa9959]

But you can put things inside the tins (and wrap them in small clothes/linens!)

[@saraleecoleman4423]

Oh, so fabulous!! The craftsmanship, and artistic flair of the items you witnessed!! Wow!! You could either buy another suitcase, or ship some items back to the US! It might be a little pricey, although, this is an adventure of a lifetime!! Enjoy! When I went to France I learned about six words in French:, hello, good evening, good morning, please, and thank you! My daughter speaks fluent French, I just wanted to be polite!

[@sandymilton2508]

Thank you so much for taking us along with you to these thrift stores. I wish I could be there too! Loved it!

[@littleone7404]

Carefree you are finding someone most Beautiful pieces.

[@jackiebryant4330]

I’m sure others have said this, but I’d imagine one of those thrifts stores probably has luggage for sale. Get you another suitcase for your treasures. I put my treasures in my carry on suitcase, but if wrapped right it can probably be checked. 🥰

[@elizabethhiebler6198]

Nice finds!

[@debbemitchell4816]

Ohmygosh! Fun.

[@DoYouKnowAdagio]

“He’s mansplaining how water works with the fountain” 😂🤣😂🤣

[@stacygraybill365]

You could always mail your stuff home. Just a thought.

[@candymcclellan1641]

Hi Jeffrey, Still chuckling at the door!! So many lovely, unique items at this store. Love the pieces you bought!!💞 ❣

[@konagirlguppies1374]

Oh! Go back and get the one on the wall! It can fit somewhere. Your favorite kind of picture and from Italy for gosh sakes!

[@flowerydaveflowerydave1533]

Ok I've been to Florence three times, how in the world do you find these places!!

[@MrTonyBham]

I just know you are going to get home and think about that cute little metal tea pot with the dragon spout. All of your finds are great, and especially love the painting. Love all of your marketing adventures!!

[@leahworks4242]

Wonderful work and so enjoyable to watch

[@stacyhisey4145]

Such fun!

[@claudiamansour7058]

Love that brooch for 5€ with the Push-pull safety (Trombone clasp) at the Red Cross ...

[@momtrips6783]

Good finds! When I travel I always bring some bubble wrap in case I come across some treasures.

[@susanschley4265]

You have great taste in jewelry 😊❤

[@dominicprimato2438]

Jeffrey, the airlines will easily charge you $100 for the first extra bag you check so keep that in mind when returning home!.

[@ahujeffrey]

It's been great to watch you on your Italian journey, Jeffrey! You've gotten used to using "Euro" (rather than dollar, although the exchange rate makes them almost equal). I don't envy your difficulty in making such tough decisions, based on your luggage limitations vs. some incredible and affordable finds! Did you look into the prices of shipping/courier services to the US? I have done something similar in the past, when the deals were just too good.

[@lynnedelacy2841]

If you were doing the drinking game every time the words ‘oh my gosh’ came up - you’d be under the table well before the end of the video 😂

[@debbiesdeathpile]

FedEx ships from Italy you know. Just send a package home. The teapot is fabulous! Big mistake if you left it behind 😢

[@sandraouterbridge3236]

Very unique spout on the teapot!!

[@conniekirkland4425]

It must be so hard finding things you love but they’re to big to take home😢♥️

[@susanschley4265]

Actually you just have great taste in everything, glass Etc... ❤

[@javiergarcia4013]

Congrats on the man white 18k 💍 ❤🎉🎉🎉

[@Sandra-A]

If you find light weight unbreakable things why don‘t you send them back to the US via post? DPD, Hermes, DHL all available in Italy too. Leaves spaces in your suitcase. Happy shopping

[@kaffykines1654]

Love that painting for 30!!

[@annVacchiano1209]

Jeffrey I wonder if that second store would ship the picture you loved to you?!!!

[@konagirlguppies1374]

I want him to go back and get it.

[@heidiesterholm2938]

😊

[@debbiewedoe2564]

That’s what I thought too. Wear 2 pairs of pants and 3 or 4 shirts home. Or buy another suit case and split cost with others?? Good good either way. 💪

[@kathyweddle4874]

All those stunning pictures to choose from and you ended up getting a print?

[@Jebbyfur61]

So fun I’d be hard pressed to make decisions too. 😊

[@Vintage-Retro-finder]

Need to buy another suitcase and fill it up

[@kitschyoyo78]

Jeffrey, where are you going next? France, Spain? One of my biggest regrets are not traveling much when I was younger. Now, I have resources to go but my body isn't. 😔

[@jeanneroser9762]

Wow!! So many fantastic things!! I couldn’t stand it!!😂

[@tracyingram6646]

Beautiful items!!! Jeffrey.. keep those prints for yourself. You’ll regret it.. you never know when or if you’ll go back. My opinion only hun. 😊

[@annmariemarin5513]

Lava mano is "wash by hand"

[@helenmarychurch7936]

Next thing we know Jeffrey announces I'm moving people straight to Florence I need to live where the beautiful things are lol.

[@southernbelle193]

Buy another suitcase to fill

[@ET-yp9vc]

I'm not sure the pewter teapot had the correct lid. It looked aluminum....

[@kimkirksey562]

I wish you could pack the chairs...the 2 as you entered and the 2 zebras

[@cathifamjourney469]

Mailing home would've been an option maybe?

[@donnawisner1481]

Just loving these Italy videos. Should have brought an extra suitcase or like someone said throw away yiur clothes and bring home the goodies. Ha

[@juxtal4734]

There was an Amber necklace next to the Amethyst one. Choi

[@nancyrichwine1355]

Ship the picture home!

[@lauriehughes8130]

Please mail the treasures home or get a second bag. NO PROBLEM!!!!!!!

[@dayleeesler4380]

Just leave all your stuff! Then you’ll have enough room!!!😂😂

[@persiphonehellecat]

Jeffrey I have been yelling at you since Rome BUY ANOTHER SUITCASE. Or I would donate all my clothes and fill my suitcase with treasures.

[@elderlypoodle9181]

Did you have jet lag at all. You seem to be fine! It takes me 3 days to feel back to normal 😮❤️🐩

[@ruthiesullivan5284]

Jeffrey, you are ADORABLE ❤

[@christygreene8362]

what stores are these? i am going to Florence soon and I must shop there! well at least where the artwork was found! '

[@mariefraher8725]

Buy a cheap suitcase and watch the weight. Great shop hunting!

[@joanb8489]

Jeffrey, Your a hoot. I’m feeling the adrenaline watching you. I’m right there with you!!,,

[@virginiaevans9887]

You need to just get another bag and fill that sucker up! Lol

[@rikkemeek1506]

To late since he is back home already.
