[@lynnpelletier4321]

I just love that Sears catalogue...........

[@charlenemartinez6917]

The little bag I think it's for clothes pins😊

[@redandpink219]

Great idea guys. The buyers will be really pleased with their mystery box!

[@kingsdaughter3138]

Love the blue glass canisters! Those will be fun mystery boxes.

[@peaceforagrievingheart9444]

I think that was a clothespin bag

[@vickiwarren2170]

I agree

[@pamelaschultz2959]

Yup, Battenberg lace

[@Agenda21Truth1]

She did identify it as Edinburgh Lace though.

[@lisagrafton2529]

It'd be so cute if you lined at least one cabinet door, in the cottage, with pages from that Sears & Roebuck catalog pages! You could decoupage over the top of the pages!!

[@karenhills8535]

Really fun bins finds, and I love the mystery box idea

[@karenhanley3912]

Like all the old books 📕 and the projects look great 👍

[@maxinelovescrafts]

That sears book is awesome ❤

I'm all for going for the ice cream. Jamie sounds good to me. The day is my birthday. I don't know what day this year. Tutorials, Aaron, but June the sixth, which is today, is my birthday. 74 years old and I watch you guys all the time. And I give you compliments. A love love love watching you guys. You're so great at what you do so talented. The Lord has really blessed you with your talent and we do learn as we go along when we do things. And that's what you all. Do you'd learn as you go along? You make mistakes and sometimes the mistakes we make are a blessing in disguise. Thank you for what you do.And I love watching you going to the bands.We don't have bands where I live.That would be a good thing cause I would love to get some of the quills.And the vintage sweaters I loved as vintage sweaters you found

[@pamalbertsen434]

Happy birthday🎉🎉🎉

[@JamiRayVintage]

Happy Birthday Friend! The bins are so fun. We have had to learn as we go and it’s been a fun ride.

[@pollyporter-campbell7493]

I hope you got the folded book. Those sell for pretty oenny and take lots of time to do!

[@lindasoderberg9477]

Love the cobalt glass storage containers as is

[@amywatters3825]

Really fun idea!!

[@jenebright8353]

I know you edit your bins videos for time, but how long do you generally shop there?

[@JamiRayVintage]

Usually an hour. But this week it was two because the Pickins were slim.

[@jenebright8353]

Gosh, I've never been to a bins, but I'm not sure I could get through everything in an hour. You guys must have it down to a science. 😊

[@staciwilson1138]

Zeb….. my book soul mate!! My mom live in Saint George. We made they trip to the bins last Friday at 4:00 pm. But we still left with lots of treasures and books. Wasn’t as good as a early trip, but still worth the trip. Sure wish we had on closer…. Maybe one day🤞🏼love watching your videos.

[@lesliespradley8897]

Jami I know I should be commenting on the Thrifting, but I just wanted to tell you that you are looking amazing. I don’t know what your skin care routine is and I know you have mentioned Botox and things like that but you are looking younger . I almost said you are glowing, but when you have as many kids as you and I do, and you’re actually done having them, I don’t know about you, but if somebody told me my skin was glowing, I almost had a heart attack because I thought yikes could I be pregnant again?! Ha ha ha. You should do a video on all the things that you’ve been doing to look so fantastic. and, just so you don’t think I’m some weird creeper 😂 As always, loved shopping with you guys🤣

[@londawhitt6841]

😊👍👋

[@cherylwilson8571]

I'm a little "slow" I guess..how does one get a mystery box? Id purchase one !

[@JamiRayVintage]

We had them listed on our website. But they all sold. We’ll do them again. I have some more stuff I can pull together.

[@katherinefuechsel8747]

So Mary baker eddy was a religious leader, author and the founder of the church of Christ

[@jcatloverd.7671]

So the mystery boxes are for sale?

[@yumikodebold6197]

They sold out.

[@JamiRayVintage]

Yes. They sold out. But we’ll do some more.

[@sarahdenby4610]

Kids today will never know the thrill of the Sears or JC Penny's catalog

[@kingsdaughter3138]

Those were our 2 stores to shop for school clothes, for the few things Mom didn't sew for us. Wish Penneys still sold that cotton underwear from the 50s. I can't find anything like it any more. And the wishbooks that came in the mail were good for hours of enjoyment. If you find one that's an original (not a reproduction) with all the dolls and pretty dresses circled, that's one of mine!

[@pebbiecomer1513]

I loved the catalogs!!! We loved the Christmas ones ( growing up) picking out presents!

[@PamelaClark-oh7vv]

Books falling apart are fantastic to sell for junk journals!

[@karengullickson4290]

I had the British Literature book in my class in college. I was sitting in that class when we heard JFK had been shot.

[@janetbyrne7765]

Battenberg Lace. Love that. The bright afghan with squares and rectangles of color is in the style of the artist Mondrian. (Look up “Broadway Boogie” painting 8:19) Very 1960’s! Love the books and quilts!

[@auntbee2167]

That Sears catalog is my personal favorite of all the thrifted or gifted items. That's a major score 👏 👌

[@vickiwarren2170]

Battenburg lace

[@IamSnowbird]

My dad had some of those World's Greatest Literature books. I recognize the cover.

[@angelathomas7180]

Love the Sears catalog!

[@carolyna7818]

That Sears catalogue!😍🤩

[@KimberSelfaison-fq1nu]

The green and white pillowsham with pink flowers is a Hawaiian pattern. I can’t think of the flower off the top of my head. While I was attending BYU-Hawaii I took a Polynesian crafts class and each of us stitched one quilt block. The tiny even stitches you make as you sew around and around your flower pattern is intense but very rewarding!

[@debk6598]

Oh my GOSH! That Sears catalog! 🥰🥰🥰

[@karenlindenberger]

Loved this youtube. The books You pick out are always great, Really loved that one that had the pictures and the sketchings. Love all of the afghan's quilts and linens you pick up.

[@TerTerH78]

Watch all your videos but rarely comment! Love seeing all the books, quilts, heck it’s fun to see everything you find. I would be interested in bookmakers and left over decoupage papers for crafting!

[@lesliejackson8188]

*The pillow sham or sheet or whatever piece of linen with the Hibiscus flowers printed on it is gorgeous❣️ Reminds me of flower leis and Hawaii And close, Jami...it's called Battenburg lace - the fancy cutwork in the cotton linen piece you asked about. 😉🙃🤍🥰*

[@cindyverstraete5989]

Great haul as usual. I can't believe you found an antique sears catalog. What a treasure that is. when me and my brothers were little we couldn't wait for the sears and jc penny catalogs to arrive especially the christmas ones. By the time christmas got here those catalogs were worn out from us kids. Oh what fun that was. I would love to come across one when I am out thrifting. I love the sketch book you found. Ya'll always find the best stuff.

[@reneecook1834]

I found a book at church rummage sale that is from 1918, “ The Rural Efficiency guide”. So cool all about farm animals and care etc

[@sandylmcallister]

I liked that cute little green/blue pitcher and thought the sunflower pic with red frame was great!

[@theshabbyvintagebelle1875]

That sears catalogue is everything ❤

[@pampetersen8110]

Oh I loved the black book, Milton’s Poems, that’s completely falling apart. Nothing that a ribbon around it won’t solve. And the sketches from the group of pictures with animals.

[@janetbyrne7765]

I took a class on preserving and repairing old books. Really valuable books should probably be restored professionally but even your vintage children’s books can be restored: the book is taken apart (stapes or stitching removed) and the pages are “bleached” and the old glue dissolved. The pages are pressed dry and flat-a fairly lengthy process. The covers are carefully cleaned and any broken corners are restored. When everything is clean and flat the pages are re-glued and re-stitched together. Then the block of pages is reattached to the cover using an additional page on both front and back, each of which is attached to the cover. If the book has space on the back the name of the book and author is written in gold or black calligraphy. A protective box with one open end might be made for the book to be slipped into. The box can be plain or decorated appropriately. I restored and reattached the covers of my old “Joy of Cooking” cookbook circa 1965. I had propped and dropped it so many times the cover finally fell off. I was so happy to be able to use it again! I didn’t remove the stains on my favorite recipe pages, but it is continuing to function very well! I have worked on my favorite children’s books and reattached their covers and repaired their bindings. It brings me joy!

[@marlenetillman7904]

Clothespin bag ?

[@dah-lv1hm]

yes

[@lovethegrandkids3732]

its called battenburg lace

[@pamelaschultz2959]

See if they are advertising houses in the Sears catalog

[@annar7762]

Good idea on the mystery boxes.

[@dah-lv1hm]

the covers on those 3 green and brown books are gorgeous

[@nancycowan6109]

While the idea is fun and some might really love it, I just can’t bring myself to order any kind of mystery box. You have so much to stash in a mystery box, I’ll give you that. Good luck! ❤️

[@JamiRayVintage]

I totally get that. Just fun to do every now and then❤️

[@CircusSunset]

You guys find the best things to flip and sell love your finds new friend much love cincinnati ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@caitlinshanks8022]

I’m surprised your bins location doesn’t have a standard book rate. Every location I’ve been to (in different states) had a book rate of $0.25 each book or sometimes it was $0.30/lb. So either way it was much cheaper than the rest of the bins because they knew books weighed much more than anything else and wanted to encourage people to still purchase them.

[@debbiejournigan270]

Forget a mystery box from goodwill have a hard enough time picking out the used junk for myself,that increased the prices on stuff that's not new but very well used

[@DDP112558]

I swear one of those sheets looked like one I had when I attended BYU in 1976. Lol. I’ve got to get brave and hit up the bins here in Charlotte NC. I have a hard time walking so I vicariously shop with you!

[@vickiehanan5686]

Where do you sell your books ? I just started looking at vintage books . I do pick up all coffee table books. Originally for myself but now for a booth I hope to open in the near future. Great video !!

[@laurieleaarmstrong2347]

I think the bag looks like a vintage casserole bag.?.. You would put your hot dish in and have way to keep it hot and carry it..
