[@mimifredoh]

Use the wood oil.... they'll last longer and look gorgeous.

[@Aj-qy3gm]

Can I ask... the name of the oil?

[@craigvespe3109]

We'll add another vote for wood oil - will help stop drying out and splitting. Also prevent staining and food getting into nooks and crannies.

[@cmarq817]

Wood oil has my vote

[@LindaM-wt7wk]

Agree. Wood oil ;)

[@allyseshubert9740]

can you please do a full video on how you clean all your vintage finds??

[@TexasGrandmawhollythrift]

This is Grandma from Texas. The Flower Child movement was totally the 60’s phenomenon. I’m sure it was a slip of the tongue as you are So well versed on everything mid century 😘. That was my era and I have learned so very much from you. The Flower Child movement died out with Charles Manson I thoroughly enjoy your channel. You are a cheerful person and someone who definitely fits the Flower Child style. Thank you for sharing your life with us and also your knowledge. You and your hubby are so funny and bring a chuckle when you are together. When are you having children? I know it is none of my business but I wonder because you come from a large family and you two would make great parents. Thank you again for all your hard work getting this wonderful content out to us ❤️ P.S. I vote to oil the plates 👍

[@kimkerley4218]

I oil all my wood. After several of my wood pieces that were very valuable, dried out and split, oh my I always oil all my wood pieces. 😊❤

[@d.frisco7283]

Dry wood is brittle wood, always oil if you can.

[@christinefiggins4463]

Wood oil, definitely

[@rolanddixon8466]

If you love Native American jewelry and textiles you need to come to New Mexico! Come in October for the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta then travel to the Santa Fe, NM which has one of the oldest houses in the US and so much more. Eight Northern Indian Pueblos are all nearby including Taos, NM

Laura, you’re so “next level”! Hands down my favorite reseller. I’ve told my Twin…”we could hang with her!” Being the introvert I am, that’s saying a ton!!

[@donnawade4569]

My vote is wood oil

[@leeleescraps]

I vote oil the plates. You have such an amazing eye for picking. I wish so much I could go the antique show but I’m so far away.

[@bernadettedunn6129]

Wood oil on the plates. Your lady sculpture is gorgeous. I watched all of your road trip videos. I watched you find and save these pieces. You really outdid yourself Laura.I’m thoroughly enjoying this recap. You are so talented. Congratulations and I wish you so much success Laura.

[@kathytattrie1984]

I think you should oil the plates 🤗😊❤

[@karenokeane6461]

My vote is to use wood oil on those plates.....at the very least, it will nourish them....even if you end up preferring the more rustic look , they'll totally absorb the oil after a bit of time--as you know---then you'll just keep them 'as is' and not oil them again.

[@winterbeaches]

Agree. Though the Portland area is humid, making them less likely to crack, it's good to protect the things you love.

[@mamabear5789]

Put the wood oil on the underside and then decide which you like best. I would oil them!

[@amyweaver7413]

I’ve been waiting for my Laura fix! Yippee!

[@charlenejohnson6271]

I miss seeing what you’ve done to your beautiful home!

[@rikkemeek1506]

Ohh I spy your new beautiful wedding ring😊 It's amazing.

[@SerenitySharesStuff]

Yes…Oil the plates

[@rozannamurayama934]

I would oil the plates.

[@bernadettedunn6129]

Please make a full length video or series of videos of the Left Coast Flea. I’m so excited.

[@persiphonehellecat]

I vote for oiling the plates

[@lsop8847]

Oiling the plates will preserve them for years to come.

[@leahclo4857]

Don't you dare let those birds go! Those are forever keepers.

[@conniehall5893]

Most definitely wood oil!

[@madeleineyates3621]

Oil the wooden plates! They’ll probably absorb most of it at first anyway, but it will help them stay beautiful for longer! 😊

[@VivienneRussell]

Here we go! Oh my gosh...LOVE LOVE LOVE the blue pottery vase!!

[@christinewhite656]

Wood oil definitely ! They will look even more beautiful x hi from UK, live for your videos, thanks soo much x❤

[@amyweaver7413]

I loved your road trip and seeing these special items styled was fantastic!

[@anilouann9177]

Dear Laura , Walter Bosse is (was) an austrian artist, he was born in Vienna (my husband is a huge fan), his name is pronounced " Valter Boss" 😘 Kisses from France (hope you undestand my approx english!) Congrats on your fabulous finds!

[@roscaines-prentice3888]

Sorry but his name would be pronounced ‘Valter Bossa’.

[@modareciclada]

😁😁 Really Laura? You're asking about oiling wood? I have purchased three bottles of wood oil and I'm having a blast oiling everything wood that steps in front of me😂😂😂. Yes please oil those plates, they really need it😂 And by the way, I loved your cuff bracelet and all your wall arts.

[@leftcoastrevivals]

🤣🤣 this might truly be the first time I’m on the fence!!!!

[@laurakowalczyk6677]

L❤VE the Hand tooled leather 70’s mushroom purse 🍄 !!!

[@sandrasalazar7545]

I really loved watching you travel and picking all those great finds ❤

[@andrealucas2238]

Oh Wow Laura! Everything you found is a celebration of creativity, sustainability, and the joy of finding hidden treasures. It showcases the uniqueness and beauty that can be found in pre-loved items while inspiring others to embark on their own thrift store adventures. I had fun watching you treasure hunt on your road trip.

[@efranco2142]

My dream is to meet you some day Laura! That’s on my bucket list!! Love your videos!!

[@trishee7625]

I wouldn’t let those soup bowls go…they are so unique, in such great condition and unusual in the best way! Regarding the wooden plates, I would definitely not oil them…their rustic persona makes them more unique and interesting. The autumnal still life is beautiful! Great haul as usual.

[@holyhiphopper]

I agree those are incredible bird bowls and match your decor perfectly. The way you decorated the table with them and the gold silverware was perfect!

[@lululemon8122]

Table setting is so good 🤌 keep six - sell six!

[@bari2883]

Omg in love with the fake horsey. So gorgeous, I’m a bit jealous.😂

[@mariapapademetriou6169]

Wood oil for sure !

[@oldladylovesBruno]

I vote for using the wood oil.

[@charlidabomb3723]

Leave them rustic for awhile and take lots of pics w them like that, Then oil them up and do Thales same thing!! You get both worlds that way!! Edited to add : That's called a Quilt Ladder, and it's exactly for what you're doing w it! Displaying textiles!!

[@danniellehighberger5614]

Oh my gosh I have the same unicorn in black! It decorates my office. I love him.

[@mbg3871]

Wood oil to protect from food drips!

[@tammyfennell4982]

Love your treasures! That cuff bracelet!!🤩🤩🤩 How about oiling the back of one of the plates first and turning it over just to see the results on it? I like them the way they are now also. They are so versatile!😊

[@dawnbeaird5183]

Been waiting for this haul ❣️

[@kreativekimberlycohouseofwall]

Absolutely love your hauls. Love your aesthetic

[@greenphoenix687]

With the wood plates... if you are going to need to wash them cos of food spills etc, I would oil them as they look quite dry and thirsty. Be good to see the wood grain on them too :) But thats just what I would do. You always find the most amazing pieces. Love it.

[@bettyrue5780]

Use the oil on the plates! They will be gorgeous.

[@pollyporter-campbell7493]

Thanks for the styling your finds video. I watched each as you traveled. Glad you're home safe.

[@mardg3680]

I love all your treasures, but you by far are my favourite. ❤

[@NeenitaSwarner]

there is a Frank Schirman, Hawaiian Sculptor (1912 - 1979) and while the works shown look similar to what you have, most of the ones shown online tend to have black coral or even lava finishes. Lots of lovely finds.

[@mbweis1012]

I think oiling the plates is more your style. Great finds and I don’t think I could have picked just 20!

[@robinford3283]

Oil the new plates. Love your new treasures. ❤️

[@cyndybeller1306]

The still life picture was my favorite of all your finds! I loved all the videos in this series and was amazed you did not get carried away in your spending with all the amazing stuff shown in the stores. Oil the plates. They look so thirsty

[@shannonmatuch1410]

Frank Schirman??????? a.k.a. Schirman Inc. Around 1956, Frank Schirman started working with driftwood (Milo wood) found along the Hawaiian Beaches and these pieces of art are one of a kind, and highly sought after. At some point in his career, Schirman started to do moulded pieces using pulverized black coral and mixed resins in the same way that Coco Joe's and Hip Originals were doing their pieces with resin. Many, but not all, Schirman pieces (especially the busts of women) have their hair painted white. Some pieces will have yellow paint on the flowers. At some point in the late 1960's or early 1970's, Mr. Schirman formed Schirman Inc. "Hawaiian Beauties with Exotic Black Coral". Schirman died in 1978.

[@janinedevilliers510]

Stunning, Ioved everything you picked. When you style them one can really see your vision and your ability to put things together and make them look even more awesome. I love the thrifting videos and then seeing everything you found set out on the table. Then you style things, and explain. I like your style. There are some very good thrifters who never show you the entire haul. They hold up one item at a time. We love to see the grand display. I would love to see all the jewellery you found. I love silver, and silver and turquoise together. 😍 The necklace is just too beautiful. Well done! 👏👏💖💕👌

[@jml238]

Girl, you need to get a storage box for the top of your suv! 😂❤

[@arlenekeith6235]

Have you ever seen the collection of Pendleton blankets that Dale Chihuly, the glass blower, has ? I saw it when he had an exhibit at the Crystal Bridges Museum in Bentonville, Arkansas. It is absolutely stunning !!! Don't sell your Pendletons ! They are works of art ❤

[@cbeyre]

The tea and coffee set is amazing!

[@terrizimmerman5297]

Laura, I’d enjoy seeing further renovations that you’ve done in your home in a future video.

[@leftcoastrevivals]

We’re hoping to get back to work on some projects after we wrap up the flea market in a few weeks! Hehe we’ve prioritized travel this past year instead of home renovations 🥰

[@bonitakupton]

Keep the beautiful bird bowls for your private collection - they look amazing with your dishes and flatware! You could use them for condiments, fruit salad, cranberry salad…so much more than soup! Fantastic find!!

[@marlenegoetzeler4967]

That flue cover! Swoon. And the iron plant stand. What a great find.

[@cindypate8835]

Laura, A heart full of thanks for taking us on your treasure hunts. I just binged on watching the whole trip and favorite finds. You truly have the eye too pick beautiful things.

[@OW3N8ON]

Trust your gut! The primitive look on those wood plates is beautiful.

[@debbieschimer1322]

I have enjoyed your sight so much. I wait in anticipation for each and every episode. You have given me so many ideas in decorating and looking for treasures every where I go! Thank you so very much and may God bless you in all your adventures.

[@teresagaudiot7459]

Put the oil on the back only and see

[@sarahcarotabrand8943]

Those “Britossi” 😂 bird bowls are probably like the find of the year, huh? So neat! I love this series of your top finds! Your blogs never disappoint! Everything so styled so beautifully ❤

[@leftcoastrevivals]

I got a kick out of the Britossi too 😂

[@sarahcarotabrand8943]

@@leftcoastrevivals too funny!

[@Grace2010H]

LAURA - Will you please consider doing a video showing how you clean your Squash Blossom necklaces, as well as other silver and turquoise jewelry? 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@StuartsMom22]

I love those embroidered boots, the French ladder and the blue coat! And moreI would suggest stuffing the purses to make them look more attractive (you can use paper or plastic bags). 😊 Really enjoy your videos.

[@cd2659]

I think I would wood oil the back of one and see how you like it. They are really cool.

[@totallytania7978]

Laura never disappoints! 🩵💙💚💛

[@meeow2165]

OMG!!! I have those Britosi bird soup bowls in blue! I bought 6 of them in 1984! I never, ever, seen them any where else since, thrifting away my adult life!

[@susantinberg7441]

Wood oil. Sometimes I just like seeing how the wood changes.

[@faithtomizek3990]

Oil the plates, it will protect your investment and make them last! Great find!

[@sueathomas69]

Hi Laura, I would love to thrift with you! I'm a resaler of many things, too! What a exciting haul! If I were you, I would leave the wooden plates as they are! The rustic look gives them and your other pottery depth and contrast! Love ya girl! Keep it going! Wishing I could go on one of your Fabolous Road trips!🥰❤

[@marycaswell6894]

Hi Laura, Great finds, love your videos! I think you should oil the plates. TFS. ☮💜

[@mariahenfling1320]

Laura, I think, I would leave the wooden plates just like they are..the oil would be great on them ( IF ) it didn't change the color.....they will look great... either choice you make..!

[@heididepotter8136]

Grate finds Laura The wooden flowerchild is my favorite! Amasing tablesetting That cuff is a keeper! I would oil those plates to protect them Yep I love fringes too Thank you for sharing X

[@carolalcasey6684]

Loved this series!!

[@MultiDonna26]

Thanks for sharing. Really enjoy your passion for mid--century! ;)

[@DonnaChappell-i1z]

I love the wood Lantern lamp.

[@ivyb2949]

I always look forward to these videos!!!

[@Reiki-44-1]

Lots of great things you found on your trip. I really liked that brass tray that was on the coffee table.

[@laraemitchell9064]

I love all the stuff you found!

[@stellaconnor7093]

Use wood oil. They look dry and thirsty. I use Dixie Belle Big Mamma’s Butta. Smells amazing.

[@tara1638]

Absolutely amazing finds!❤

[@paulettedutcher2093]

I always have fun with your videos. Thanks for sharing. 🥰

[@karenellis9036]

Almost always take the entire set. spider legs and original top.. using top for something later. Good finds

[@charlenelynch6505]

Oh primitive all the way. Wabi Sabi is huge in design now and for a while! ... but seriously, no oil. That dusty look lends well to an earthen designer theme. Beautiful finds.

[@denisadellinger4543]

I have a spindle leg table and an oriental brass round tray. I had it in my first apartment but took it down for a change. Those legs are so temperamental.

[@5262janna]

Wow! What a great trip and haul. That plant stand is fantastic , it all was but that was so unique.

[@bonzojenks303]

I learn so much from you. Thank you. Love your style and especially your energy and enthusiasm for these pieces.

[@pigoff123]

I remember those W. German pottery vases. They were everywhere in the 70s an 80s. Loved picking them up at flea markets in Frankfurt

[@TheGinamac79]

Live with the plates in there current condition. Can't wait to me you on 7/19 luncheon. You have the best eye 👁👁 cool stuff! 😉👏👍

[@TheBeesKneesTreasure]

Depending on how many wood chargers you have, perhaps you could oil some and leave some natural for staging

[@christygreene8362]

Love it and the fact you stopped in Sacramento was cool.

[@terripeach8264]

Laura: I love your channel. Even though I don’t decorate with your style, i absolutely love it. You do offer some pieces that I could use in my decor. I can’t wait to shop your store. I have binge watched your shows all day. The weather here in Kentucky is rain all weekend so i don’t feel guilty being curled up on the sofa binging your shows! Thanks for all the adventures! I am enjoying them all. I love thrifting and always have. Thank you for all of your videos.

[@divinerdetective44]

The cuff looks like Apache stone with the Turquoise.

[@AnAlbertaGirlAtHeart]

I don’t think I could part with the bird bowls. I love them ! I love the Frank Schirman also ! Incidentally, the flower child movement began in 1962 and was in full swing by 1965. It spread from the USA to Canada and a little into Europe and faded out in the early seventies.

[@MariaRodriguez-ts3bg]

Thank you for sharing. You made my day.
