Visiting local Antique shop/ Caring for Copper Pots

[@ar7tis5227]

Jeri, I love seeing things through your eyes!!! You can always see beauty. You teach us to see beauty; whether it is antiques, flowers, property, or God's goodness. Thank you for Jeri's eyes!!!

[@mothership8032]

Love all the copper and the candle molds!! Can’t wait for the candle making video. Thanks for taking us along to this wonderful shop.

[@carolfreeman2962]

Thank you for taking us along. I've been lonely moving clear across the country to a new place. Trying to find people with things in common.

Jeri, thank you for being here this morning while having my Sunday morning coffee.

I noticed right away how CLEAN the items are every Glas lantern shines! Lovely place to shop.

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

Oh Yes, Doris keeps a very tidy shop. Even all the hundreds of tools upstairs are oiled and cleaned, it's amazing

[@shawnmeyer2788]

All you need to polish copper is a lemon and salt. Cut the lemon in slices and add salt and polish then rinse. I have antique copper in my kitchen and only polish it about once a year. It’s been almost that and they are still pretty shiny. Love copper!

[@saramartinez103]

Thanks for the tip, will try it tomorrow

[@CharlotteFairchild]

It may be where someone lives that matters. The South can be humid. Humidity may cause more rust, silver tarnish, and copper tarnish. That proves true for boats!

[@shawnmeyer2788]

@@CharlotteFairchild I don’t know what you mean.

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

Charlotte is right, here in the south the humidity really messes with the copper; mine is tarnished weekly. I find the Barkeepers friend, at about $1 a can, to be more economical than lemons. Lemonjuice does work, Lemons are expensive here.

This was really fun. It's like a day with a friend. The antique store had many nice things. Thank you, for taking us a long. What a nice surprise. God bless and keep you. 🌷

[@tinaclauson5238]

What a lovely shop. As a child I can remember visiting many places in TN such as this. My Grandmother (lived in Sevierville, TN) had a lovely home full of antiques and such. Wonderful childhood memories. ❤️ Thank you for the cleaning tips on copper. Always appreciate and enjoy your videos. 😊💜🦋🥀

Liebe Jeri, wie schön, anzusehen, dass Du Deine alten Schätze pflegst uund polierst.Ich tue das auch und es ist für mich ein Gewinn des Älterwerdens, dass ich endlich Zeit dafür habe. Am Beginn meiner Alterspension macht es mich auch glücklich, durch Antikshops oder EBAY zu schlendern und Fundstücke zu retten und zu Hause mein Kristall zu polieren, und altes Silberbesteck zu putzen und mit Messing und Porzellan mein Haus zu dekorieren. Wenn man jung ist, ist der Alltag oft eine Last und jetzt ist die Freizeit ein Geschenk, all' die Interessen zu pflegen und zu genießen. Ich wünsche Dir nur Gesundheit für all' Deine Ideen und Unternehmungen. Liebe Grüße aus Berlin von Dagmar❤

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

You have spoken eloquently; as we get older, their is pure pleasure in the upkeep of small treasured items and an organized home.

Jeri I love visiting with you and your little chicks so adorable!! I love antiquing and finding a treasure!! Hoping you will invite us to a tea when the weather is cooler!

[@lisalemaster9383]

Oh my goodness, those little copper items are absolutely adorable 🥰

[@northerngail0385]

Hi Jeri, My sister and I collect the Revere Ware copper bottom pans. I've had mine for over 50 years. Love them because they were made in the USA. I use barkeepers friend to keep mine shiney. My sister has had success removing the black spots pre-soaking the pans in hot water.

[@mabelgoddard5813]

Thank you Jeri for taking us to one of your favorite antique stores. I use Bar Keepers Friend, wonderful product. ❤❤❤👩‍🌾

[@lindabullock6159]

I love this video! Take us to the antique shop again please. Take your time and show us everything! Thank you Jeri. Good tips for cleaning copper. Show us how you display your antique store goodies. I need ideas. How to display baskets when you have too many?. lol Have a wonderful week and post again as soon as you can. lol❤

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

I have SO many baskets, it would be a pleasure to show how I display them.

[@DLynne222]

That was fun!! I would rather shop in a vintage, antique or thrift store any day than a modern retail store (and usually do). I see a time in the very near future where any items clearly identifiable to be "made in the USA" are going to be much more valuable, so thats something for folks to keep in mind. I have an old brown Tennessee made butter churn (crock) that belonged to my husband's great-grandmother, who brought it to TX in a covered wagon from Missouri. I have several other primitive items that I love. Anyone who knows about decor styles would find my home to be so chaotic because I love so many styles and periods. I didn't choose it, the previous owner did (though I love it), but in my open great room (kitchen, dining, living and foyer area) the vaulted ceiling is covered in rusty galvanized roofing tin repurposed from an 1880s barn, and all the wood trim throughout the house is also from that old barn. The builder, in 2008, had in mind a rustic hunting lodge style. My husband is a hunter so we have lots of taxidermy decorating our walls too. But my furnishings are very eclectic, ranging from primitive Early American, pre-WWll vintage, to mid-century modern, to Chinoiserie, to English and French Country, to 70s Bohemian, to maybe just a big mess, but I love it all. I wish I could land on one style and get it under control, but there are just too many pretty things!! I too have been collecting copper though I don't have tons of it. ...Oh, the dowel or pestle in your video, it was for a jelly or canning sieve. You actually showed some earlier in the video, one sieve in a stand inside the cabinet under the washing machine masher at 5:10, and another one, just the sieve, hanging on the wall at 7:27. I'm looking forward to watching you make candles. I've never stopped to figure out how to get the candles out of those molds! I've always wanted to try making the dipped ones though. Remember those days when pouring melted wax over ice cubes in a milk carton was a popular candle craft? Thank you again, for another very entertaining video!!

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

Your house does sound fascinating, even though you haven't settled on a particular style. I ove many different looks as well, but I combine only 3, Primitive, Colonial and English/ French country. They work well together. Oh yes, it IS a sieve. I couldn't remember what it was called and I have one on top of my fridge. I used it in a video to Sieve Pokeberries for dye-making

[@dianeknott3655]

Lots of work, but so satisfying to polish copper and silver too.

[@tygerlily1700]

Have a Blessed day❤Thank you🕊🌻🌻🌻🥰

[@peggydid]

I love the visit to the antique store! And seeing your purchases! My mother had Revere cookware, too, and gave me my first 2 pieces for the first Christmas that my husband and I were married. I don't mind copper being not shiny-shiny. I do like it! Love that copper colander! Hugs! Peggy

[@user-rb4zf6dp2v]

Thank you for sharing your video. Have a wonderful day you and your family🥰🥰💕💕

[@bethmartof1262]

Love that shop. Like you, I have some of the same things , a blue granite ware coffee pot, a copper sieve, and candle making molds. However, with my mischievous cat, I can never make candles, as he’d put either his whiskers or tail in them and light my house on fire. Used to make them in the past and they just smelled divine when you’d light them, like honey and flowers. Thank you for such a nice video. 😊

[@joannkeeler6582]

Another fun video - thank you!! And omg, those miniature copper pieces are darling! I collect miniatures and dollhouse and doll things. So cute!! Thank you for sharing them with us. 🙂❤️

[@dianer.7026]

My dad’s parents (my grandparents) gave my husband and I an entire set of revere pots and pans for a wedding gift. They cost $50 then - we will be married for 50 years next May. I still love them and use them all the time. To say all of that my parents had revere pots too. As a child, I would polish the copper on my mom’s pots as a present for her birthday. My dad passed away soon after he turned 96 last year and my mom is 96 and in a nursing home. Thanks for sharing. This brought back so many memories for me. ❤️😘❤️💕

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

My mom is 98 this year, and still has her Revereware from when I was a child of 8!

[@bethmartof1262]

I love revere ware as well. When I got married, I couldn’t afford any, but now, over the years, have been able to find it second hand. It ‘s wonderful!😊

[@barbaracarlson1331]

[@ccassity4227]

Loved this video (as always)! Brought back memories of items in my grandparents’ and great grandmother’s homes. One set of grandparents had an old glass bottom ice crusher in their kitchen. I wish I knew then what I know now. Would sure love to have it proudly displayed in my kitchen❤

[@nadinemasteller1089]

I find that a very fine steel wool pad really helps to clean copper. I enjoyed the visit to the antique shop.

[@InFltSvc]

Hi Jeri, that shop would make a great little home. Love that oak table. The candle molds are interesting and I did not know people had to make their own candles like that. I look forward to seeing your outcome when you make them. Cheers! Brian

Always enjoy antique shops. I like to buy pieces that has known history to the piece. I have a scale that hung in a New York meat shop in the late 1800's. And a wall clock that hung in a train station. I have many many antiques . Each one is new to me every time I'm cleaning it. If it could only tell its life story. So interesting!!! Thanks Jeri for a visit of past.

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

The clock must be marvelous! I too, find myself contemplating the history of the object I'm cleaning, I especially love to find a date engraved in the item.

For years I struggled getting the soap scum off the bathtub. By accident, I discovered that by mixing the Bar Keeper with vinegar and using a coarse plastic scrubby , it removed what these expensive cleaners could only do , a little at a time.

[@dianewhitmire]

I buy revere wear at tag sales and find they are so great and non toxic.

[@lindylou3519]

Great copper info! I have an old copper spittoon & kindling bucket. When I lived in Hendersonville TN I remember hitting some fun antique stores/malls. But when I visit my daughter in Denver we love going to Loveland to 3 antique malls & Jeri there is one that has the most beautiful antique furniture that I’ve ever seen in pristine shape. It outdoes anything I’ve seen here in the south.

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

When I lived in Colorado, we went antiquing in Loveland and in Estes Park, both had really good shops.

[@TheFarmSparrow]

Yay Jeri, those candle moulds… I would have taken them too. Making candles is on my list of things to do as well. What a neat antique store…wish I could visit. I love your finds and your insights on the subject of antiques. Sending much love 🤗🍃🌸🍃💕

I was excited to get my hands on those molds, She took them from her own collection and decided to put them up for sale, there were around six to choose from.

[@suzanneandersen7319]

Nice video Jeri, and what a lovely antique shop! I love the things you bought especially the candle molds. I would love to find a couple of those as I only burn beeswax candles now knowing how toxic those expensive smelly candles can be. I hope you make a video making candles as it would be fun! Thanks for bringing us along!

[@Broadcastrix]

I collected many pieces of Mauviel and Dehillerin copper cookware over the years; it's my kitchen's "jewelry." I find the dark spots and patches, like on the side of your lovely colander, are splatters or swipes of something oily, even furniture polish, which has dried like lacquer over time or with heat. My poor, stove-top-dwelling copper kettle could tell stories about that! The best I ever did to keep them tarnish free, was to use the pans frequently, wash them like normal, and keep an acidic cleaner by the sink for a quick swish around and fast second washy-rinse, then towel dry. I also want to try waxing them, especially the less-used pieces; that is supposed to prevent oxidation; for silver too. For solid copper: Intense scrubbing eventually wears away the spot; but soaking, like another commenter mentioned, in very hot water, then rub with a scotch pad and soap and or a degreaser helps take away whatever is stuck to the copper, then a swipe with acidic cleaner, and the spot vanishes. For really, really tough goo and char, like on a pan bottom, a copper wool pad and soap or cleansing powder will power it away. Cameo for copper, brass, and porcelain is my favorite of those I have tried. Beware of the pretend-copper-colored steel wool pads; which rust and are too rough and leave scratches.

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

Excellent suggestions, thankyou!

[@tammyhoushour8070]

I love copper too and I use bar keepers friend and I've also used ketchup. I looked up why the black spots and I read that copper just naturally reacts to oxygen in the air. Who would have thought well I guess I should have that's what happens to silver too.

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

I tried the ketchup and it works as well as the Barkeepers friend, wow!

It isn't hard to re-tin your copper pots. You need two main ingredients: Stay Clean Flux and pure tin. I have done it outside on my propane grill that has a separate burner. Just wear safety goggles, good gloves and a face mask or respirator. Saves tons of $$.

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

Sounds like a worthwhile task to take on...

[@catmintable]

Love copper myself. That kettle might be pounded so some of the dents smooth out by putting round stuff inside the lid and banging on it.

Yes, I agree. It wasn't too bad until a tree limb fell down HARD upon it as it was in my garden; that made a big dent in it.
