Hi, knowing how much you like Halloween decorations I can't believe you passed on the Owl
love love love the aviation stuff!
when I see family photos I always feel sad that they are leaving the family. I hold our family history in trust for the next generation and can only hope they will pass it on in their turn. Thanks for the care you show for these treasures. Lynn in the UK
Me too! especially baby/children photos
There is probably no one in the family left.
Gail that is potentially even sadder...
Problem is kids today don't want them, they don't care about that.....
You said those airplane drawings were from a kid and you could be right. My Dad was born in 1933 and he told me if you could draw a Flash Gordon Spaceship kids would pay you up to 5 cents! Pretty cool! I love flea markets like this. I sometimes find old fly fishing stuff that I buy
I also look for labels and advertising that are about fish or fly fishing. Fruit crate labels unused salmon can labels. Paper doesn't take up much room. I also like to look for Wood Block Prints in old books with that pulpy broen paper, very old say early 2900 or even a bit earlier. Wood Cut Block prints are. Easily identifiable.
If you ever want to sell a pair of large shears (Scissors) like those you bought and you don't mind shipping to Canada let me know! 😀
I love all of your different types of vlogs...it’s hard to pick a favourite! I also really appreciate how sincere you are, It’s becoming harder to find truly humble thrifters on TH-cam...thanks so much!
I don't think I could show such restraint especially with antiques & vintage books especially childrens books. I 💘 the little red riding hood book. I 💘 the Dick & Jane books.
I live the Little Golden books also, plus my favs growing up to read were Raggedy Ann and Andy
I have a couple and the graphics are so good!!
Hello Renee. That was fun being with you and on the hunt for treasure. I so wanted the ceramic piece with the squirrel on it . It was cute. I love squirrels we rescued a baby squirrel when I was 7 maybe lightning had it the tree they were in and the Mother was killed and the other baby . We found it and it's tail was hurt but we fed it with a eye dropper until it was able to eat nuts and things . We had him for a year and then he got out . But he didn't go far we would leave him food by his tree. Such a wonderful pet he was my buddy he even slept with me . I'm sorry I ramble sometimes . But you found great stuff hope to see more postcards from your finds. Stay safe and have a great night📷📷📷📷📜📜📜📜🌻🎥🎥🎥🎥💖💕💖💕🌺🌺🌺💯💯💯💯
I wish you could hear us! Take it, wait, go back, yes, share it, good girl!
Enjoyed the new flea market and your vintage finds.
Went to Leesport for the first time myself last week and kept thinking that you would enjoy it too! So glad you got to check it out.
LOVED the name on the 1938 envelope!!!
BILLY IRISH!!!
Talk about a name w panache!!!👍🥰👍
wow the stuff you left behind from the booth in the first part of the video.....wish I was there picking that booth!!!
That flea market is more like an outdoor antique market. It is so very interesting, I never saw such old things before!
Oh gosh, I was right there with you when you were looking at that photo/wedding book & the postcards!!! I was like you gotta get that lol The flight book is cool!! Love love love the postcards 💖 I'd love to look through them all!! You got some great things girl!!
Love the scissors and the matches. Love your channel.🦘🦘🦘
Treasures, treasures and more treasures, my fav was the "" little red riding hood book ♥️ it brought back sooooo many childhood memories.
.
When you are looking through boxes at the flea market, I find myself tilting my head to try and see around something and hoping you will move something so I can see further in the boxes... lol. Love the video as always. p.s. I bought some external speaks that I can adjust the volume up on, it's weird that yours were the only ones I ever had an issue with.
Couldn't help but notice the door you were sitting in front of. Love those type latches and hardware. The door, itself, was really nice, too.
I love the weddingbook , the cover is beautiful! Thank you for taking us along 😊
I’m always drawn to old scissors too... probably because I do paper crafts. I would love to follow you around and buy what you didn’t purchase! So many beautiful things seem to be available in your area. I hardly ever find those kinds of things here in Texas.
That brown skinny box under the blue USA medal box was an old razor,....good $$$
Gorgeous scissors ✂️.
Wow~ you hit the "paper" jackpot! I can't do flea markets...I want to buy everything! and the postcards! amazing selection.
I thought this flea market looked different. You did great enjoyed your hunt. ~ Texas
those vintage little comic book kid books you passed up on about 5 mins in sell pretty well if you get the super hero or sci fi related ones.
Love the airplane book, great deal! Pumpkin pie, apple pie, mmm mmm! Pumpkin loaf also great treat. Love when mom makes them 😀
So many cool things esp the wedding album, that aviation scrapbook, all those postcards and those beautiful scissors. Metal always gets my attention😄 Thank you so much for sharing!
I'm looking forward to finding flea markets in my area. Right now in light of what's going on in staying in for the most part. Keep smiling. Enjoy your channel.
Hello from California.
Loved the video. You are an amazing gal. Thank you for salvaging all the cards and photos.
I’m always excited to see ephemera and vintage clothing finds. Great haul!
Rene are you going to sale the Christmas cards???? Let me know!!!!
Thanks 😊
I am always draw to the same things you are. Great shopping trip and haul.
A Purple Heart for sale! That makes me so sad. Not many are given out. Wish I could learn it’s history.
What a great flea market! Love your picks we have similar tastes 😌😌🤘🏽
Loved Little Red Ridinghood book. Beautiful...Beautiful...Beautiful scissors.
I'm sure their quality are of a great value. My father is no longer with me but he could sharpen scissor like a razor blade. A pair of ornate and great quality scissors was his interest in life. Scissors reminded me of him. Thank you
Chris-ABQ Hi Renee! 😊 How fun....love to see what you pick thru in the boxes...I know you're searching for Paper, but I see lots of other treasures...great video! 🥰
Hey there Renne, you not only have a knack for finding old aviation scrapbooks, but also, war artillery (bombs)!!! Ha, ha, ha.
You find the coolest things!
Very neat stuff, I've been to a huge flea market in the Philly area, Frankfort area many years ago,, but i live in Florida, so I don't go up there much, the flea markets in your area seem full of lil treasures, unfortunately, you have to search for it🙂
We love going to Leesport. Did you get a soft pretzel under the pavilion?
Weds are the Best Days ! I have a market I think you would love ...Adamstown Pa Shupps Grove it's a Flea Market in the woods! Tons of very unique items there. They so theme weekends too so much fun.
I missed the soft pretzel but will have to get it next time! I took a look at the theme weekends and there are a few that I might have to attend!
It was fun to see you digging in those totes and boxes, looked like a lot of goodies to be had. :)
GREAT haul !!!! What....another John ????? I'm jealous. LOL.
Great pick. How do you sell them? I have many items I'd like to sell and really need some cash to make ends meet. I appreciate your advice Rachell. Thank you,
April.. thank you Rachell
Oh the look of joy on your face! You had so much fun! It was also fun to watch! TFS Hugs!
My grandmother had the same large scissors.
Love the scissors.
You must have a huge inventory. Nice little goodies too.
Nice to see that you visited Berks County. I've been waiting for Leesport to open. Now you need to check out Adamstown, the Antiques Capital, USA. There are quite a number of antique (and collectible) shops. As well as the outdoor places. If you can, this week is their Extravaganza. Because of what is going on in the world, some are not having the big blowout sales, but all the places are still open, and should have their discounts. If you want advice on where to go, just let me know!!!! Besides living in the area, I am an antique dealer and have stuff in three shops in Adamstown. Happy Hunting!!!!!
Amazing what you find..🥰🥰
I love the old story book you got! I love old books!
Love the graphics of the children's books
I collect that also so fun
Was that a sewing kit or manicure kit you put back, in the cylindrical box ? It looked like it had some age to it - ahhh you did it had the matches in
The scissors are beautiful!
Hi Renee! What a great haul. Can you scan the pictures and sell them as digitals on your Etsy? Here in Norway is it diffucult to buy old photos. The wedding cards was beutiful. Love to watch👍
Love your video.. May be can do some video while you on a hunt on trash picking or house cleaning...
Please check out my other videos, plenty of trash picking videos to watch!
I have just acquired a box with old kitchen gadgets including a mincer, a chipper and an apple corer /peeler.😊
HI! You walked by my selling area yesterday. I wasn't sure it was you so I didn't say hi. Then I saw Taco Stacks and he said that you were there too. Hope you come to Leesport again...I'll say hello next time!! Jean
It was nice meeting you!
Sorry to have missed you!
Are the scissors Damascus metal? It is basically layers of metal that are heated and hammered together to make layers (layers)
Lovely things!
Good finds!😃🌼🌻
I just heard today, if I wanted to travel to New Jersey, being a Californian, I'd have to Quarantine for 14 days before I could pay you a visit. Out here, we are one of the "hot spots", especially Southern Ca. The old card album is a nice find. I often wounder how many hundreds of family photo histories end up in dumpsters. I do miss the stores and sales...all dead issues out here!
I’m in Orange County California. I did not realize we are now a hot spot. We never re-opened.
Yes, there are quite a few states that if coming from to the NJ/PA/NY area, one has to quarantine. Not sure how they will enforce it at all though.
@@PaperandMoose Saw my doctor yesterday...so far I'm doing well...abiding by all the rules like a good old boy! Glad you are well...keep those bags coming!
Love the scissors! I would have picked them up too.
I liked the scissors 2. Renee, did they anything written on them? Do u know know how 2 clean them up? I would use the finest steel wool, maybe some lighter fluid & oil them. Does anyone else have any other ideas?
Just some light oil on the scissors. Rust is usually a tiny spot that bleeds out. Let it set with oil and wipe off or put under hot faucet water and soap. Wipe and dry good. Always keep a spot of oil on screw area. I have been sharpening for 22 years
Take a look at Blue bus Dave’s recent find at the flea market it’s right up you alley a box of old advertisements from the early 1800s!! Thought of you right away saying “oh my gosh” love your videos keep them coming
Lots to try and look at. Love all the photos and post cards you come across. I would have taken the Halloween owl as I do love Halloween. Those little books of things to do were awesome. I lived getting those as a child. Thanks for taking us along on your journey.
01:40 I don't think that lighter was sterling but I'd look anyway. 02:13 Railroad safety manuals? (railfan's daughter instinct kicks in .. what are you getting for these? :-) ) 06:05 pushes a jewelry box out of the way???? As for buying stuff, one of my rules is "Buy your toys from the jewelry dealer and jewelry from the toy guy", i.e. buy from a reputable seller who knows one area of collecting really well, but just wants what you're after off of their table.
I like the scissors.
The scissors and matches might sell on eBay or Etsy.
My older brother use to collect matches back in the 80s. He had hundreds and hundreds of packs. My other brother and I use to use to take some out of the boxes and use them to light our cigarettes. He had a round box of matches like yours but I think his had snowmen on it, if my memory serves me correctly.
I remember my grandmother had scissors like those. I read where you can sharpen scissors by cutting aluminum foil? I have not ever tried but worth a try, if you want the scissors to cut. Our flea markets don't seem to,have many paper items!! Congrats on your great finds. You probably have enough to keep you occupied for years!! Lol! I think it's wonderful. Stay safe .
You found some very interesting items.
Great finds! Peace
Renee what do you do with all scrap book,paper, postcards, pictures that you find?I see your so interested in it I've allways wondered .
As a quilter I love the scissors. As far as the purple heart I can't believe the man was selling it. They each have a number on them. He could call the military and see if there is a family member who may want it. I know if it belonged to a relative of mine of would want it. It may just be lost or stolen.
I read another reply about it being illegal and being fined about having selling and having military medals you didn't earn. I thought that may be true but wasn't sure.
Sometimes Purple Hearts were engraved with the recipients name on the back side, but I don’t believe they were ever numbered and registered due to the huge numbers that have been awarded over time. Not illegal to possess or sell, where a few have gotten into trouble is falsely claiming that they earned a medal and wearing it (often on a uniform) in the “stolen valor” types of scenarios. Best, B
It is so sad that things like the medals and Purple heart are thrown away. I would hope that if No family member down the line wants my husband's military awards they take them somewhere more more dignified than a dumpster to get rid of them. Maybe a library for display or. Local VFW post with his flag since he was a life member.
I would love it if you would give the years on some of the books you get. They look so interesting, It would be interesting to know when they where printed/copyrighted, etc.
I really like that 1951 NY *baseball* Giants pennant. I know you didn’t buy it, but it was way cool!
It seemed to be in very good shape!
Loved this yard sale. I want that automotive book in the beginning and I love postcards and books and pictures. All of it. All the stuff wow.. i can't wait to go out of town to do these this summer.. llve your channel. New sub can we be friends. Lol. We can shop together.. ☺
It was a big flea market . With lots of stuff .
The scissors would be great in an assemblage box.
Love the Scissors, alot of cool stuff there, I would of had fun too.
The smaller of the two scissors are hairdresser scissors. The larger one is for a seamstress. I think.
Fun
It's too bad you're not into vintage cookware. I would have loved to seen what they have their of that
Check with philatelic people for the stamps on the cards 🧐
Cool paper!
Old scissors are a great deco items. The Album with the cards unique find. The postcard bag gives you plenty of looking through time and interesting finds I'm sure. Enjoyed your new flea market Renee! How far do you need to drive for that?
Hope you get to do a storage unit at some point , that would be great viewing 😁
Still waiting for storage auctions to open up here! Boggles my mind that they aren't open yet.
Treasure Queen👸🥇🌟
Fun!!!😊
Good video 📸😃
And ... OLD MUNITION pieces. 😄😉
Great Finds and you talked to the vendors??? Get names and numbers if they sell mainly items like military or dishes or jewelry or house decor etc.!!! You are shopping vendors as well merchandise!!!!
Thanks for taking us to a new flea. Sounds like you might go back. Always glad when you find a new source. Was this Wednesday or Sunday?
Rene, thanks so much for thinking of me when you picked up these postcards...you still have my address handy dont you? Larry in Canada lol
really enjoy all your videos I enjoy going through rummage things. where are you from? yOU MENTIONED ALLENTOWN A FEW TIMES. ARE YOU FROM PA? I'M FROM HAZLETON PA. NOT TOO FAR FROM ALLENTOWN. KEEP UP THE VIDEOS, THEY RELAX ME!
I have several candy boxes of greeting cards. Would it be better if I had them put in an album for sale or leave them individual? They are used and most have the envelope with post date on them.
I love your videos and seeing what you find and buy! I am curious, however, why you like to buy other people’s photographs and cards. What is it you’re drawn to? I accidentally received someone else’s photo album for Christmas this year and it fascinated me! I can see where you’re coming from but would love to know more.
I have loved history since I was little, so I purchase old photographs to try and discover the history of the people in the photos and/or to save them from being forgotten to history. I love the backdrops, the clothing, the idea of how a photo was taken back then...
Which flea market was that? I must have missed when you said. Looks great....although....I believe I would not have enough willpower to pass on the baked goods...LOL. ***** Ah Leesport. Yes....I don't pass on the baked goods....LOL. Haven't been there in several years....think a small road trip is in order. And the fall is a stellar time to be there.
One of those scissors might look nice arranged in a shallow shadow box over some vintage cloth scraps and vintage paper pattern envelopes, or perhaps over a vintage paper doll cutout book.
Great idea!!
Or sitting w some antique valentine cards an decor
Will you take the wedding cards out of the album to sell or keep it together?
Love everything you got - just wondering, why did you pass up the paper Halloween Owl at 1:37 ?
I'll bet it was because it had tape all over it that would be difficult to remove without wrecking the owl ... or, it was a repro. They make reprints of a lot of that old cute Halloween stuff.
At 1:35 you picked up a blue United States of America military medal box. Wonder what was in it?
What's your shoe size would love to send you some sandals and shoes im not using im a 7-71/2...let me know
