The all white doll with the butterfly embroidery is called a "pillowcase doll" an is in fact, made from an old embroidered pillowcase! I did some for my girls when they were little with old linens from their great grandmother.

[@bonniebonnie7149]

The glass cups are punch cups, often sold in a set with a punch bowl. They were used in the 1950s and 1960s for ladies lunches, bridal and baby showers!

[@christinarouthier5825]

Thank you for saving the old stuff from the land fill

[@redandpink219]

I love the fact that you are managing to find many gems at the bins just before the remainder goes to landfill. The vintage makeup case is cute!

[@JamiRayVintage]

When I got home I looked inside and it had the key! 😱

[@kathybornhoft7126]

I am so glad that you rescue these beautiful vintage items! The fact that their next stop is the dump makes me so sad!

[@homethatilove4595]

I agree!!!! 💯. These ephemera and Treasures from 4-6 decades ago will be LOST forever because ppl don't VALUE history

[@susanbishop4844]

Me, too!

[@homethatilove4595]

@6:35 😍😍 vintage, SMOCKED baby dress !!! YES. I absolutely love it too, Jami ❣️❣️

[@katiecoleman9847]

Home for a Bunny, was my favorite childhood book!! Ahhh, the memories!

[@amybowers343]

The cloth dolls are made of antique pillowcases. Very sweet!

[@LindaSmith-vq1br]

I have done candles like that. They are fairly easy to do and make fantastic gifts to have on hand for emergency gifts and blackouts

[@readingwithintent]

Your bins are such treasure troves, I watch a lot of KZbinrs who shop that the bins and it looks mostly like rubbish. Drooling over the linens and quilts

[@Hey_its_just_me_to]

I absolutely L♥️VE my Better Homes & Garden spiral cookbook, like the one you found, every recipe comes out Perfect!!

[@annettestrother1808]

A vendor local to me makes candles in tarnished silver cups and bowls! So pretty! Oh! And china cups and saucers! 😊

[@JamiRayVintage]

Fun! I’m excited to try some new things and get better at doing the candles.

[@carolynlunel9382]

I love seeing what you come up with for candles!💕

[@ILoveMaltese]

The old 🎵 book, First Division Band Method, @3:02 brings back flute lesson memories from the early 1980's ❣️

[@melfarm9109]

Memory unlocked for sure!!

Jami you look beautiful your hair is gorgeous.I wish we had bins here you find some great stuff.The little smocked dress oh and Rudolf is adorable.

I scored at the SLC bins today. A vintage embroidered table cloth and two embroidered pillow cases. And a vintage broadcloth pillow cover,!

[@louisesemrani6860]

I love your thrifting videos the most ❤you always find great stuff 🦘❤️🐨

[@kaihandren9309]

Flat land Ohio thanks you for the mountains! Good stuff found as usual -- the Goodwill head offices need to give you a "1/2 off" winners card for the huge advertising you give them across the country . The blue chair completed on Wed was in the Norway painted family tradition style & just beautiful -- a family adopts a unique style & identifies w/ it -- you created your family style -- truly unique !

[@elizabethcrooms2006]

Love it, waited all day for this!!!

I use to have that same Samsonite piece of luggage! What a memory - great hall.

[@teannettemajor1609]

Couple of skewers or chopsticks work to hold up the wick lol

[@graytabbygehrke1352]

Deseret Industries, and I think several other thrift stores, send their unsold items to countries for those who have nothing. They are very appreciated and loved. ❤.

[@LorisLoot50]

Nice haul, love the candles!

[@rebeccabirdsong5765]

I just received my order from you, I can't wait to start some painting projects. But now I'm thinking I'm loving those little teacup candles 🤔😂

[@JamiRayVintage]

I tested one to make sure it burned well. The wick worked etc. and they are so cute burning. And they smell good too ❤️

[@lesmeyer318]

If you don't have a theomometer for the correct pouring temp, pour just before congealing

Great finds Rays! ❤

[@dianejohnson7212]

Popsicle sticks work well for holding the wick

[@JamiRayVintage]

I think I have a ton of those. I should have thought of that. There was a time I thought I was gonna make homemade popsicles. I never did so I have a bunch

[@channonpate4221]

You two make my heart happy!!

[@karenhanley3912]

I want to try to make my own candles now ! Great job and Great haul video 👍

[@richardgoodpaster6600]

The white doll is a church doll the children would take them to church because they were quiet. And the kids were entertained

[@angieloveshowi]

I use hot glue to add wicks to my candles. I put the wick in a drinking straw and add hot glue to the bottom of the wick then use the straw to place the wick in the bottom of the cup. That way you don't burn yourself.

[@JamiRayVintage]

This is brilliant. If I can just remember I can save a finger tip or two

[@debbiedevore3109]

Omg! I found that same doorstop cat at bins in Ohio😂

[@JamiRayVintage]

Maybe they got separated. We have twin cats ❤️❤️

[@ConnieN]

Your ability to find good stuff at the bins right now in larger quantities is directly related to the fact that they’ve raised their prices at their normal stores and buyers from those stores are passing on more items due to the higher pricing. This is leading to more items transitioning to the bins. Good for bin shoppers but a bad business move for Goodwill. 😉

[@octobird1]

It looked like that 1919 book was signed!

[@ampersanduniquegifts]

Oh cool! I just this a few videos ago with several vintage , thrifted cups. ❤

[@laurieboughfman5727]

Love the smocked dress. The smocked part itself could be removed and framed. Wouldn't do it with this particular dress as it appears to be in great condition.

[@lindasoderberg9477]

Vintage cookbooks are my niche

[@Jupefires]

Found a Vincent Price cookbook the other day. Didn’t get it because I thought it would be a hard sell. They wanted $20 for it.

[@juliacockroft8745]

Those Popular Science books were sold with encyclopedias in the 1960’s as a set of ten volumes or so. (Ask me how I know… 😃)

[@ladydi7213]

I'll bite, how do you know? :)

[@Chhesterification]

My Goodwill bins price things differently. Books are charged by the inch.

[@findinglakshmi7876]

YOU SHOULD ADD FOOD COLORING TO THE WAX FOR COLOR.

[@maryinthemaking7211]

I had a good chuckle over Zeb in the book bin. Weren't we always told to Not judge a book by it's cover? ;) That was a gorgeous cover BTW.

[@lesliejackson8188]

*Jami and Zeb, you can use 2 pieces of painter's, masking or Scotch tape to hold the wicks straight in the candles🕯until the wax hardens. 😊 That's what I do.*

[@JamiRayVintage]

That’s smart! I will try it. Someone also mentioned a clothes pin. So many better ideas than what we had.

[@cindydowning6883]

So how many candles did you get for each bag of wax?

[@JamiRayVintage]

Three

[@gloriamccleland469]

Good job😂😂😂😂

[@cherylwilson8571]

So...we don't have Goodwill Bins where i live, so this is a new concept for me. Where does that merchandise come from? It looks like maybe from "over stocked stores"? And /Or libraries? It doesn't looked like " heavily " used items ( like Mickey and Minnie Mouse Plush looked new 😊.??) I'm hoping ours here in Florida does that.! I've heard there is a shopping ban on the Goodwill here every one is so fed up with their prices! Not sure what is going to happen . It's better here,price wise ,to find a church sale or yard sale. But that involves a lot of gas money! Ugh! Im a booth owner. It's tough right now! And I see your buy/ sell prices out there!!! And cry...LOL

[@JamiRayVintage]

Over stocked stores or things that don’t sell. I’m not really sure. They sell by the pound. I have a friend who lives in Florida and finds loads of good stuff she’s on Facebook Faux your eyes only

[@cherylwilson8571]

Thanks ..I had just ran across that site today! What a coincidence!

[@JamiRayVintage]

I will look but I think it may be homemade. I didn’t see a tag.

[@lauriewortley5348]

Isn’t there a clamp with the wicks to hold them in place?

[@PatMooney-fk2hn]

Your bins are so much better than the one here in Ct. ours is mostly clothes and very little else. Do your bins do the books by the pound or piece?

[@JamiRayVintage]

By the pound

[@sigrid...360]

Question for those that know..... I see alot of people making candles in teacups, then see people always commenting, that if the cup is not made for a candle, it will shatter with the heat. True or False?

[@JamiRayVintage]

We tested ours and it was fine. Ours are not fine China they are thick glass. That might be the difference.

How do you clean clear glass so it's shiny

[@JamiRayVintage]

Lemon oil first and then dawn and warm water

[@Jupefires]

Will the cups crack from the heat of the candle?

We burned both of the styles to test and they were fine.

Will the little glass vessels withhold the heat of candle? I would think it would explode.

You should have more then one wick, because the wax will melt even.

Don’t cut the wicks too short….

[@lesmeyer318]

you need to pour more wax into the containers. Customers want a full candle not a shorted candle. I make candles all the time

[@JamiRayVintage]

You have to leave enough headspace to cut the wick below the top of the vessel.
