Vintage Shopping Paradise at Seattle's Best Antique Mall!

[@chriswalker6826]

YAY!! It's George!!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Thanks!

[@teresafaulkner4874]

What a great antique store

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Sure is!

[@carolyna.2527]

Born in Seattle, still live here and have never been to this antique mall. What a treasure! I will definitely go visit. I have my original fiber optic lamp from the 60's, still love it! Thanks for sharing.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Please do! You’ll have fun

[@betsy1947]

I live in Seattle and visit Lander St. regularly. I was there the other day!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Great place to be near!

[@barbguerbe9936]

Thank you for taking us along!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Our pleasure!

[@cherylmellblom5471]

I don’t have any problem “working something into my decor.” If I like it and can afford it, I buy it and find a spot. People tell me my house is FUN and/or INTERESTING…and I consider this a compliment!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Yes! When I was in college, someone told me my place looked like a museum…I was highly flattered, even though they did not intend it as a compliment

[@CONSTELLATION_PEGASUS]

Good evening, George! I really like that lady bust in your booth. Absolutely LOVED that chimney top! I can't believe Bristol is so underappreciated, either. It is really nice, beautiful glass. The Lismore is my favourite Waterford pattern. That ca. 1900 two-tone marble bust was fantastic! The French Madonna and Child chalkware figure is something that really attracts me. There was a bust to the right of the French Bombay-style chest that caught my eye. I've always liked that sort of thing. That was a really interesting place. Thanks for taking us along!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Hello! I was just thinking about you, and there comes a comment, thanks! I rarely seem to find real antique items anymore, but I feel that younger people are starting to open up to some traditional things and so it was time. Thank you for sharing my thoughts on Bristol, I know there's several of us who feel the same. I think I like the diamond point patterns the best, but Lismore is certainly stylish and tasteful. Isn't that a great bust? I could collect those. I'm so glad that even though this place is modern-focused, they have room and design that allows some real antiques to be part of the presentation

[@CONSTELLATION_PEGASUS]

@@TheAntiqueNomad I hope it was good thoughts! 😂 The true antiques are where my interests lie, and I've been noticing there haven't been a lot of them available for your premiers. Are there more true antiques available in other parts of the country? I grew up in the 60s...70s...80s, and I liked the true antiques even then. Bristol is so distinctive, well done and beautiful glass, I've never been able to figure out why it isn't more popular. The forms and decorations on it will fit into pretty much any decor. Those busts there were all fantastic, but the two-tone one was spectacular! A collection of those would be like having your own museum.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

@@CONSTELLATION_PEGASUS I believe much of the best of true antiques are already in collections and period homes. My question is why they aren’t coming to light more with the passage of time. I find them occasionally in places you’d expect, but the sunbelt seems now to be lacking. I think you really have to sell fine antique interior shops these days

[@CONSTELLATION_PEGASUS]

@@TheAntiqueNomad I can believe that. I knew a couple, (both are now deceased), that had a massive Edwardian house, with 12 feet ceilings, completely filled with amasing antiques. High Victorian Period furniture - like beds that the headboards were 10 feet tall - a complete 12-pc Belter parlour set - amasing glassware - unbelievable clocks, (one of her favourite things) - an unreal collection of Aladdin kerosene lamps, (one of his favourite things) - Victorian hanging kerosene lamps - Sevres porcelain, etc. The lady of the house, like me, also really liked the more distinctive, HTF pieces of Goofus Glass, and she had an OTT collection of it. We used to banter back-and-forth about which pieces we were going to "steal" from each other 😂 Even after they both died, a few years ago, none of it ever showed up for sale. I'm guessing their children are holding onto all of it. I've never seen where even the house has been offered for sale. The things they had are things you simply don't find easily...or at all...these days. If the generations of younger people are recognising just what true antiques truly are, they might be deciding they are worth holding onto. There are some vintage items that interest me, but they have to be, at least, 50 years old, for me to call them vintage. Half the age of a true antique is what I consider vintage. There are _a lot_ of items that fall into that age-frame that I really just do not like, though, since that does include the 1960s, 1970s and onward. I grew up seeing a lot of that garish stuff, and I didn't like it even then. I will have to say, though...I did like bellbottoms and the stacked shoes 😜🤣

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

@@CONSTELLATION_PEGASUS I’m thinking the same! We held an estate sale for friends with a Victorian home full of true antiques, it was in the historic home tour every year and all the neighbors with similar homes bought it all. Not one of those homes has had a sale in the decade since

[@joannnelson9847]

George, You are so full of stories and know so much about things and places!!!! You are our country's vagabond with a historic basis. You always give us your skills and always, always curate your world for us!! Keep up the Great Work!!!!!

Thanks so much I’m glad you find these things special too!

Northern Exposure is a wonderful show, was sad to see it end. Feels like the characters are real people.

[@jaymeferry5321]

Appreciate all your knowledge sharing and in such a fun way! I feel like I take a mini course each time I watch. Definitely a big fan!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Awesome, thank you!

[@richkroberts]

Hi George, you have a great looking booth. Interesting items. There’s something for everyone. Your prices are very reasonable too. The old saying “I’d rather make a fast nickel than a slow dime” appears to be a strategy that really works for you.

[@janetpogue4970]

Your framed posters are fun, they are right out of my teen years 😅. Wish my sister had hung onto her bright green Peter Max waistbasket. It had a bell bottomed wearing man striding along. We didn't know Peter Max was more than cool! 😂

[@ccoolstuff1]

George, I could listen to you all day. I learn so much from your videos. You're a wonderful teacher. I'm in Oregon. On the day I'll venture up to Seattle again to find you and to shake your hand. Fondly Carol

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I hope we meet! Maybe you can come to the Portland antique and vintage market in July

[@cynthiaaguilar8656]

Hi George! Another wonderful video full of your amazing knowledge. I have collected unusual pieces of inexpensive silverplate for several years now. Guess i am finally on trend! 😂 Thank you for more info! ❤

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Very cool, I hate polishing but there’s great designs and if you use it, it doesn’t tarnish

[@shartheheretic]

I love the roosters from Portugal, and pretty much everything else in your booth. 😅

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Thanks! I think those are fun too

Sounds great!

George, what a great show today. Good thing it's a true winter here in Michigan and my windows are closed. My neighbors would wonder what was going on inside my house with all of my Ooooooos and Ahhhhhhhs Safe travels George.

[@LauraMe...]

Hi George! 👋I'm watching after hours! In your booth, I noticed the pastel Kodak sign. Your friend didn't go for that one? Another question, those beautiful framed art prints that I see in lots of booths and many videos. Are they taking those from ancient books and framing them? I know the ones in antique books have no print on back and were done on special papers as things to be cherished. I know a lady that lives in Italy and she gets books like that from the markets, she. Also gets a lot of old pieces of fabric, hemp, religious fabric such a s curtains or the old cloaks or gowns. She even gets lucky enough to get real gold spun trims those thick embellishments of gold fabric they would decorate the priests and alters with. She sells it in our crafting group because we use ephemera. I haven't done anything for years except in embroidery and I love getting those old fibers to work with. Lace, trims, the old linen and hemp is marvelous to embroider on.

Not yet! I haven’t been at the show we both do to show him

With the vintage photos you show at 23:27 ... how do people use them in decor?

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Truthfully, most people who collect them are more interested in the scenes and keep them in showcases or drawers for future viewing, rather than having them on display unless it’s a photo of a family member

OH, SO much of what you describe is just FUN. So FUN!. Never saw so much FUN in mostly commonality. I appreciate your expertise but much of what you show us deserves any number of adjectives. Just think, when a customer OVERPAYS (CERTAINLY, YOU BUY ON THE CHEAP), they later realize it wasn't FUN. They realize that they overpaid for common items. Ever think about that?
