I love that you take the time to find pieces to compare the items that you find.. I appreciate all the info you gives us about them. Thank you.

[@beaualexander7000]

Anytime, Elba! I’m happy you appreciate what I share about each item i spotlight, sometimes it’s just the name of a piece or what it’s made out of but I find most who watch appreciate that little takeaway. I’m glad you do, too!

[@jayannbullock5884]

You my friend are a ray of sunshine

[@beaualexander7000]

This is the ultimate compliment, Jayann! Thank you so much for saying as much - I appreciate you ☺️🙏🏼

You can tell you put in so much time and research in your videos Beau. Keep being amazing

[@beaualexander7000]

Thank you my sweet friend! I appreciate the love and support 🤍

[@judyhutton9133]

I love the extra step you make to researching the prices on line

[@beaualexander7000]

I’m glad to hear it, Judy! It’s helpful to get the point across that most finds I see out (though they may be a bit expensive) are actually quite reasonable in comparison to those I find online. And vice versa, sometimes I try to drive home the opposite point, too! Always trying to show variety in price points 🤗

[@joycemorrow5840]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge of other resources for comparable pieces at lower cost when thrifting/antique shopping. Your beautiful voice and good looks definitely is a plus.

[@beaualexander7000]

I appreciate the compliment, Joyce! You are too kind 😁 I’m happy you’ve enjoyed this outing and the details I incorporate - I find sharing prices will drive my point home that it’s absolutely worth it to get out there and source beautiful finds on the second hand market! Have a great weekend

[@peggymohr7899]

Thank you for taking us on this trip to the antique place with you. Please do this again for it was very informative and enjoyable.

[@beaualexander7000]

I’m so happy you enjoyed this antique outing, Peggy! I will absolutely bring more videos like this to my channel in the coming weeks 😁 thank you for watching!

[@janiceorr4510]

Good morning Beau. Because I am Vintage... I thank you for the trip down memory lane. I am sorry many times that I got rid of so many items, to replace them with modern pieces. Now everything old is new again. Have a great day and thanks again.

[@beaualexander7000]

You are too funny, Janice 😆 you are right though - just like clothing, I’ve realized that home decor is cyclical and vintage finds are making their way back to the forefront. Who was to know?! Thank you again for being such a huge support both here and over on instagram. I appreciate you 🤍

[@jesusleuterio3424]

Love your video’s... and I really love that someone like you who appreciate’ nice and very elegant decor...without braking the bank....

[@beaualexander7000]

Absolutely! I’ve had this discussion many times over - if anyone tells you that in order to have a beautiful home that you need to spend thousands of dollars, they’re wrong. I truly believe that some of my favorite (and best!) pieces have been thrifted or sourced on other second hand platforms for very inexpensive price points. It’s all about composition and bringing these pieces together to make for a beautiful and harmonious space! Money or price has nothing to do with the talent 🙌🏼

[@dianejohnson7235]

You are amazing! Thank you for all the hard work you do to help us shop and save so much money!

[@beaualexander7000]

Absolutely, Diane! Anytime 🤗 I have the best time doing it and knowing you appreciate these tips and tricks makes me so happy

[@bonnieoverman8130]

What a pleasure to go shopping with you and have you point out the true finds. It can be overwhelming in the large antique malls seeing so much stuff. Also, appreciate the information you give about each piece!! Thanks Beau!!❤️

[@beaualexander7000]

The pleasure is all mine, Bonnie! I am so happy you enjoy seeing these stores from my perspective. It’s true, there are thousands of treasures to be found and it’s so hard to appreciate each fully so I try my best to narrow it down and spotlight the “true finds” as you’ve said 🤗 I’m also happy you enjoy the informative blurbs! Thank you for being a friend ❤️

[@patricialamontagne6461]

Good Morning Beau.. having my coffee and enjoying your video. You are becoming my favorite. I love that you look up the history of the vintage finds ❤️

[@pamelahudson824]

Hi Beau I was so excited to see the beautiful gilded gold mirror in the opening of this video. I notice you have it on your wall as well and my eye goes directly to it every time I come across your videos. My mother purchased that mirror brand new from a fine furniture store that sold French, Italian Period furniture. This was in the late 60s, early 70's. It went beautifully with her ivory and gold French Baroque bedroom furniture and it is still gorgeous and a standout piece. I inherited it and proud to have it. That mirror started my love for beautiful ,ornate decor and I've added other beautiful mirrors throughout my home . It will always be a special piece with a lot of memories. Thanks for sharing. I enjoy your content and personality.

[@beaualexander7000]

Hi Pamela! I love this story, you can tell that mirror is very sentimental and a special piece that you hold near to your heart. I can’t say that the way I stumbled upon this find was as personal, but I can say that I share in the joy you feel when you look at it! I ,too, have to stop and smile often because I tried for so long to find this exact mirror and I finally did for a reasonable price. It was meant to be and has definitely furthered my affinity for ornate and eclectic decor elements as well! I hope you are well today, my friend ☺️ see you in the next one!

[@tinadendy2588]

I felt like I was antiquing alongside you, Beau. Thank you for another fun scouting trip.

That was a beautiful mid century find, Tracey! I loved it, too. So happy you’re enjoying these outings 😊

[@MsAudreyDavis]

A great tip is I buy wood oil at Williams Sonoma outlet. It’s around $6. Every time I thrift a piece of wood like walnut, I’ll use a couple drops of wood oil on it to clean and polish. Makes it look brand new! 🖤🤍

[@barbiedoll6530]

Thank you for sharing your brilliant eye for design! The horses and the Dansk candle holders

Two of my favorite pieces in this video! I appreciate you watching, my friend ☺️

Loved virtual thrifting with you. There are lots of vintage spots & goodies hiding in plain sight lol. The white onyx candles are beautiful. Like you I love natural materials. TFS.

[@beaualexander7000]

It’s so true, Erica! Finding the gems amongst the rubble 😆 I may have to go back for those candle holders, they were so beautiful and white/neutral stone colored pieces are so hard to come by these days!

Hello Beau! Oh wow, I forgot how wonderful the east can be for antiques/ vintage finds! Here in the west, it's much harder to get such wonderful finds. I, like you, am a sucker for all the natural stones. ☺️ It's so funny to see all the items I used to have that are now considered great finds. Back in the day, it was just what was out there, no big deal. ( I'm old) 😬 I love going along with you in search of treasures, you're so much fun, especially when we share the same taste and beauty in decor. Keep doing what you do, this old lady surely appreciates you! Stay safe! 😘✌️😃

[@beaualexander7000]

Hi Zee! A very Happy Saturday to you my sweet friend ☺️ I used to try to antique and vintage shop when I lived in California but it was much less desirable price wise and the selection of the items just wasn’t what I’d have hoped for. That being said, I do realize how incredible it is that these finds were just so “ordinary” back in their day...it makes me wish that I had the opportunity to live in a time years back! But for now, I’ll appreciate they’re beauty and timelessness from the present. Thank you for tuning in each week and supporting this venture of mine. I really appreciate the support and your friendship ❤️

[@kathleenhill5838]

Thank you once again for taking us along for the hunt. Loved the walnut piece.

[@beaualexander7000]

You bet, Kathleen! I’m so glad you enjoyed tagging along ☺️ that hand carved bowl was stunning...such a beautiful Mid-Century find, I agree

[@MJCreative-Bleu96]

Hello Beau! My favorites were: The Danish MCM Lamp; 1930's Black compose dish, Lucite Candle Sticks, Love the Antique Camera's, Praying Hands, Dansk silver mini candlestick holder, Imperial glass rounded candlestick holders and the horse book ends! All such good finds and reasonably priced. Love learning from you!

[@beaualexander7000]

Those were absolutely fantastic items, Monica! I agree - I need to win the lotto so I can start buying each piece I see when I’m out 😆 I try to be more selective because I don’t have the space to store all of these finds, but man are they beautiful just to hold and admire!

[@jayejohnson5257]

Hi Beau and thank you for taking us antiquing, the twin glass candle holders was my favorite.❤️

The square walnut bowl!!! The Lion Bookends!!! STUN. NING. Loved this video, Beau.

[@beaualexander7000]

I’m so glad you did! That bowl was beautiful and the price was actually pretty good for how substantial it was 🤩 and the bookends, oh those bookends. I loved them so

[@TheMaiah13]

I love those Lion bookends too mounted on marble! But way too expensive..

[@gregorycooper7464]

Hi Beau. So, that looked like a great store for antiquing. The black compote is a stunner. The cigar tray....(can't stand smoking 🤮)....but could be a great spoon rest for the kitchen countertop, I mean, for those that could wrap their head around the idea. I hope YOU really enjoyed the outing as well, and will add this type of spot in your treasure journeys. Be well.

[@beaualexander7000]

I want that dish! It’s just a tad bit steep at $45 for the purpose it would serve in my space 😆 though, now that I know that style exists I’ll be on the lookout! I think the cigar ashtray was more aesthetically pleasing than functional but I have a beautiful crystal orb and I wonder if it could have rested perfectly in the divet 🤔 I guess we’ll never know! 😆 see you in the next one!

[@trisha3338]

I like how you always research everything and let us know the comparative prices! I really love art deco style and try to incorporate it in my decor. Your videos are the best! 😍

Thank you, Trish! I’m so glad you enjoy seeing the comparison - I figure if I’m already doing it for my own peace of mind I might as well share 🤗 Art Deco is such a beautiful and timeless style, I’m happy you appreciate the aesthetic, too!

[@beaualexander7000]

I think I may just have to go back for this piece! It was beautiful and the price was right 🤩

Everything just exquisite. Use the green marble ashtray in an office. Lay a beautiful silver or gold pen down where the cigarette would be and put fancy paperclips in the round part.

Another Saturday morning “coffee with Beau!” It’s a snowy morning in southern Wisconsin. Your video is very welcome. I love globes. Especially older ones. It’s amazing to look at old globes and see how the borders and names of countries change. You can almost make a trivia game out of it.

[@beaualexander7000]

Happy Saturday to you, Todd! Enjoy the snow for me ❄️ you are so right, globes are ever changing and I was in awe of how beautifully structured the piece I spotlighted in this video was - you’d never know it was 50+ years old! So contemporary in fashion

Good afternoon Beau, pre congratulations you’re on your way to 12K I’m loving the growth of your channel and I’m routing for you to be successful. I’ve never visited a vintage store you have peaked my curiosity so I will be telling my hubby to take me to a few may be next weekend. Beau you are very kind & informative, your personality & voice is to be coveted (I know they shall not covet) and you lovingly interact with your subscribers what great assets that will take you very far in life and KZbin. Wow that globe is beautiful, the lucite candleholders 🕯 & lamp oh my my my I love 💕 them. I have those hands in black but they are wall art & the cluster of grapes I was so excited to see that I may have something vintage. Btw I would have purchased the $15 unique candleholders most definitely. Thanks so much Beau for opening my eyes to great finds in thrift stores and vintage shops. Until next time

[@beaualexander7000]

Thank you so much Robin for the well wishes, compliments, and congratulations 🎉 I am so humbled by your kindness and support! Vintage shopping is new to me as well, I’ve gone in years past, but this was long before I had a passion for home decor so I wasn’t even capable of wrapping my thoughts around what was worth sourcing. Fast forward to now and I think I have a pretty keen awareness for what is worthy of taking home 😆 I ended up returning for the onyx candle holders and the chrome sailboat figurine! Happy to hear that you are enjoying my channel and moreover that you have enjoyed spending 15 minutes each weekend on outings with me. I appreciate you, my friend!

That antique store was awesome, Beau! I am in love with the globe and the walnut bowl. The prices didn't seem too bad either; you never know what to expect when you visit antique stores. I always get a lot of inspiration when I visit antique stores especially when I come across a booth that is well put together. ❤❤❤

[@beaualexander7000]

Happy Sunday, Sherri! They were actually very reasonable and a lot of the booths I came across were curated so they did factor that detail into the price I’m sure. I think antique and vintage shopping, as you’ve said, is a phenomenal way to source inspiration - what’s old has definitely become new again and I can’t help but appreciate the craftsmanship in these older finds, everything was so well made back in the day. It amazes me how so many pieces have stood the test of time and are unscathed to this day decades later! ❤️❤️❤️

[@SimplyThriftingWithSherri]

You are so right, Beau. Even when I pick up vintage clothing to resell I am amazed at how well those items have held up but that just shows you the quality that vintage items have and how well made things were back then. The craftsmanship can be felt in quality items.

[@beaualexander7000]

I sometimes feel I was born in the wrong decade, it would be so nice to have lived in a time where these items were not “antique” or “vintage” but just ordinary day to day purchases!

Another winner of a video. You must be in my area of the Northeast. Some of these antique stores are crazy with their prices. I believe in moving merchandise and not having it sit forever. make room for something different

[@beaualexander7000]

Thank you, Amy! It’s true - some definitely upsell for their goods. Thankfully these prices weren’t too unruly 😅 I’m with you though - moving product is the name of the game, you never want your space to feel stale and some of the booths here you can tell have been stagnant for some time due to price inflation

Once again, you have done a great job showing us objects you find "in the wild" and then finding and showing the same or similar objects online and the cost difference. While the "in the wild" prices may seem high, you show that, in fact, they are quite a bit lower than online! You have a refined, elegant style that is reflected in your shopping finds! I'd love to know where you went shopping!

[@beaualexander7000]

That is exactly the goal, Debra! Some of the pieces were a bit pricey but unless you stumble across someone who has absolutely no idea what they have - the chances of finding these pieces for less elsewhere are slim to none. I’ve determined that most do what I do and research the antique or vintage pieces they have around and sell them for much higher on certain resell websites...though I’ve had luck on Facebook Marketplace as sellers there are looking for a quick flip typically!

My husband inherited a pair of those glass bead candle holders from his family. My mother owned a gift shop in the 50's, when I was a little girl. I really wish I had kept more of what she had. I do have a wavy glass candy dish and some very different espresso cups, which are cream colored with gold handles. I really need a way to display all of these pieces in my "not so big" home! 😊

[@beaualexander7000]

I hear this often in my comments, Trisha! But who was to know all of these styles from back then would eventually become new again 😩 just like fashion, I’m realizing home decor is cyclical. Also, I too, have a rather small space (it’s spacious for an apartment but not nearly the sq. footage I’d like) so I hear and empathize with you there!

You make me want to go out to the antique stores again. I actually was in a antique group that we would go antiquing a lot before the pandemic. Antiquing and lunch in their tea room. I miss that. That lucite also brings back memories. I had a few chip bowls made of lucite and got rid of them. I should have kept them..lol

[@beaualexander7000]

Hi Susan! Wow, that sounds like a fantastic group to be part of. Unfortunately, I know this pandemic has impacted many of our daily activities and routines. I hope you can get back into it once we find some sort of resolve in the year to come. Love the lucite pieces and yes - interesting to see how they’ve cycled back into the mainstream 🤗

[@sunrae7680]

Hi Beau. I appreciate the research you did for this video. The horses 💞, panthers and the white marble vessel are great. I love vintage cameras, radios, typewriters, televisions... I'm doing my research to find decent thrift stores in my area. PS: The empirical glass is sooo sweet.

[@beaualexander7000]

Hello my friend! I’m so glad you enjoyed the pieces that I’ve showcased in this outing ☺️ wishing you all the best luck in your thrift hunting adventures! 🤍

[@angelabriseno5141]

Thanks for sharing this fantastic vintage video Beau , I would have definitely took that Teak Danish lamp home it’s so unique to me there were so many beautiful things in this video. Xx

[@beaualexander7000]

Thank you, Angela! That lamp was stunning - I used to live in Palm Springs and mid century modern decor is a staple there, it made me reminisce about brighter days ☀️ have a beautiful weekend my friend!

I just knew you were going to purchase the white onyx candle holders. I loved them among a few other pieces.

They were stunning, Lillian! And neutral toned pieces in natural stone are so hard to come by these days 😩

I love the way you show comparable pics with prices on the screen that really helps tremendously . All the items you showed I would prob have purchased or really thought about purchasing.Thanks for another Great Sat Video,Keep up the great work!!! Until Next time....God Bless 🙏❤

Thank you Freddy! We definitely have quite the assortment of finds here on the east coast. Antiquing back home just doesn’t compare. Glad you enjoyed this video 🙌🏼

Good morning Beau it is raining/snow /icing here great timing shopping without leaving the house. I also live on the East Coast NH great antique shopping here.

[@beaualexander7000]

Good morning, Brooke! Ahhh, definitely experiencing all the elements it seems 😅 as you said though, at least you can shop without leaving the house! I’m so glad you enjoyed this video my friend

[@wreckofthehesperas8323]

SW NH here, definitely enjoying the shopping more than shoveling wet snow! Up north will get much more than us, we lucked out!!

[@tabithashayla]

The pitcher you bought at the thrift store is much more visually appealing than the one at the vintage/antique store.

[@beaualexander7000]

I totally agree! I think the slender profile of the piece I sourced was much more visually appealing 😍

[@jennifercremisino5287]

I love your videos, Beau! You speak so kindly. I learn so much from your adventures in thrift. I take that info with me when I'm out and about looking for treasures. :)

[@beaualexander7000]

I love to hear it, Jennifer! This is exactly what I aim to do-inspire others with the knowledge I share so that you can better evaluate and source finds while you’re out thrifting 😊 you’ve just made me so happy!

Absolutely, Barbara! You convinced me 😁 have a beautiful evening

[@pbain763]

I always enjoy seeing vintage items... there's something so nostalgic about it that I love. It amazes me when I see pieces that were made so long ago still looks awesome in today's home decor. The black lady statue was a great piece. Be bless Beau! 💕💫🙏🏻👍👍have a wonderful day

[@beaualexander7000]

I couldn’t agree more! It makes me wish I lived in a simpler time when these pieces weren’t “antiques” but just ordinary items 🤗 I, too, can’t believe how cyclical home decor fashions are! Thank you for the beautiful blessing my friend, I appreciate you!

[@blackgalashes0116]

Good morning.... Love the mirror.

[@beaualexander7000]

It’s one of my favorite pieces! I was luck to score mine for only $50 but man oh man was the gold variation beautiful

Enjoyed your research and critiques.......you are good!

[@beaualexander7000]

Thank you my friend! So happy to hear you enjoyed this video and my finds 🤗

[@Chicago48]

Good that you did price comparison. Amazing what "antique" sellers will charge. Makes me think the sellers went online and bought the same pieces at discounts, during clearances and resold for double the cost.

[@beaualexander7000]

It’s true, there is definitely a surcharge for the curated collection of items they assemble in their booths! But I’ve found with just a bit of research, you can typically find items elsewhere online for comparable prices or even less at times! Thank you for watching ☺️

[@DefyLogicband]

I found the exact pair of L.E. Smith glass horse bookends at a local thrift store - 6 dollars for the pair! They have pride of place on my MCM coffee table. Love your shopping videos - so much fun to find treasures for less!

[@beaualexander7000]

They are absolutely stunning! I received a pair for Christmas and I believe they were a lot less than they were selling for here, I get so nostalgic just looking at them 🤍 happy to hear you proudly display yours, too!

[@louisesuffolk]

Hi Beau. Could you please do a video of your apartment and include a discussion on your favourite decor pieces?

[@beaualexander7000]

Hi Louise! I am absolutely gearing up to do my apartment walkthrough and will surely share some of my favorite items in that video 🤗 until then, I do have a favorites video out you can enjoy here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKqofH5vltF3o68

[@curlycurly004u]

That was fun ! I can never find anything that pretty at the thrift stores.

[@beaualexander7000]

These were definitely more curated antique and vintage shops so the vendors definitely took their time to source the best of the best to put on display and that shows in the prices. But keep at it my friend! Don’t get discouraged, I know even I walked away empty handed most days - it’s all about timing!

Whoa, Beau, everything you touched in the store is AMAZING! I also bought a trio of onyx candle holders at a second hand shop a few years back...all for less than $29! I love, love them..and love all onxy, alabaster, as well as stone ones like terracotta. Tomorrow, a lady from Marketplace is coming to drop an antique 5ft trumeau mirror that I scored for....brace yourself, $25! I am so giddy, as if I won the lottery!
