I’ve misssssed you all!!! ❤❤❤ Sorry for the late posting of this video 🙃 It’s been a busy week getting ready for Friday’s vintage sale! So excited to share what I found in today’s episode shopping two goodwill stores with Michele! 😍 Who wants me to convince Michele to do the fall fashion video with me!? 🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️ I just adore her and her fashion style! Hope you all are having a wonderful weekend! ❤️ -L
Absolutely yes on the fashion video. I've been looking for a leather fringe jacket and/or purse...like the ones you have. Why oh why did I get rid of the ones I had on the 70s???? 🧡💛💚💙💜
I just had to pause the vid at 13:00 and take in ALL the Beauty & talent that i was looking at on my screen🤩 (especailly w/ 🐈⬛ included) You're amazing Laura!!💞
Your casual table setting has me craving some wine and cheese! Maybe a charcuterie board? Off I go to shop my home to make a lovely table, inspired by you, Laura!
I’ve managed a couple of thrift stores in Northern California. Dishes are a hard sell partly because people just don’t have room to store them. We always break up sets. Otherwise they just do not sell. So glad we don’t have to deal with shipping! There is a big thrifting community in the Bay Area.
I resale china quite often, but it isn’t easy. I find that serving pieces do really well or a five piece place setting or single bowls, plates, cups for people to buy to replace broken pieces. Large sets - no matter how fabulous - just don’t sell and it’s really sad to break up a set that has survived decades together!
I was surprised that you were choosing colored items! YAY! Your palette is usually from Pale Beige to dark, dark brown even black!! Lots of turquoise jewelry, wooden bowls, earth toned ceramics, etc. LOL LOVE your style!!
Hi Laura, I never dreamed I would like mid-century decor, but you have totally changed my perspective, and now I love it! I believe you might be using altar linens, as your napkins, in your 2nd table scape.
Your hair is getting sooo long! I love it! The Vino decanter is from the 70’s. I had it, was a set with Parmesan cheese, big pasta bowl, individual pasta bowls and antipasto bowl!!
It’s always so nice to log in to TH-cam & see a new video from you, Laura. You work so hard to bring us such quality videos & I just want you to know that your time is recognized & appreciated! I’m glad you made it home safely & are able to enjoy our last weekend of summer weather. What a beautiful weekend we’ve had! xo ☀️
Laura, thank you for putting out great videos, I really enjoy going with you on your thrift shopping adventures and your travel adventures. I usually learn a lot about art, architecture and history when you look and purchase items. I am looking forward to all your future videos sharing your latest travel trip. You are so gifted and talented in staging the items you purchase in a variety of ways that helps all of us think about the items we thrift and how to use them around our home or office. Keep up the great work you do.
I adore the reindeer picture. ( The antlers going forward and backward suggest reindeer.) I always break up a dish set into twos, and do quite well. You can sell the singles as replacements. So happy for the forward trajectory of your business, Laura!
You asked how to clean castiron skillets. My mom taught me this: never use soap and water if you want to clean and sterilize them use butter and lots of table salt. Scrub like the devil, wipe with paper towels and heat in oven on 3oo° for 15 min. Add butter to keep from rusting.😊❤❤❤
When I was young I would decorate my whole house for seasons and holidays. Now as I am older I like to at least do a flag and wreath on front area and set the table with just linens and centerpiece. My neighbor across the street tells me he knows what the time of year it is when he leaves the house. Lol TFS
I love the antelope picture, very MCM! Those glasses with the gemstone looking base are awesome! A lot of sellers I watch usually piece their plates out, probably due to the price of shipping!
Most people are looking for replacement pieces, others want to increase their collection by add place settings….. thus you need to be flexible and be open to requests
Here in Denmark we don't really decorate for every seasons. The only time we decorate is for christmas. We normally decorate for christmas by december 1st. And we take it down again with in the first week of january.
Great video. I enjoy watching how you style items. And yes, I sell dishes and have done well with them. I sell in complete sets. I was actually washing two sets when you posed the question.😄 I will admit that packaging/shipping an entire set can be stressful.
I love the picture you found. I see people calling it an antelope, but to me it looks like a reindeer or caribou. Either way, it’s beautiful! I really like the platter for the cheese and fruit tray. And agree with you that leaving it out for display is the way to go. I recently acquired a “tray” that my mom made with tiles from the 50’s. I grew up with it as base under electric fry pans. We now use it in table displays. When it’s not in use, it is placed as a “back splash “ behind the range top.
I definitely preferred the first table setting for a Fall style. The rose-stemmed goblets are lovely, but I think the unique shape of the bowls are much more appealing than the stems. They remind me of Ikea's Dyrgrip style - not fancy but striking and I keep buying these for regular use again and again!
I love the framed nubian ibex?? lol I am not that smart and I didn’t just know that animal’s species ‘name😂 but I looked up “animals with horns” and that came up! 😂I love that find! Also, I am obsessed with the brown ceramic platter. Great finds as always, friend ❤ 🎉
I agree...dishes don't sell in my booth at Black Barrel Vintage Monroe, WA at all! But I hope you'll visit and highlight our shop sometime...its awesome! You are sooo fun and inspiring to me!
I sell dishes. Yes, they are a slow mover. I piece them out in sets of 2 or 4. I offer combine shipping if it is safe to do. The last set of dishes were Mikasa Christmas dishes. One buyer purchased the 4 dinner plates, 4 salad plates and 4 bowls. I was only able to combine ship just the plates, due to size and weight.
Missed you in the Cotswolds. Couldn’t get off work to ‘accidentally’ run into you. My husband says it is weird that I even contemplated that. But I just wanted to say hi. Next time. X
Awww tell your hubby not weird at all 😂 I would have loved meeting you! I hope to be back again to host another group trip there. We had a wonderful time and LOVED our guide who was from the Cotswolds.
Dear Laura, I love your latest videos. I wanted to mention Heart of Ohio Antique A new to TH-cam family that the Crazy Lamp Lady recommended. They have a lot of rare antiques. (Soooooo much jewelry too.) They have online auctions, huge warehouses, etc. My husband and I love their channel.
Hello Laura, l like your purchases this time. Even though your taste is different to mine, l have to say that you REALLY know how to co-ordinate the pieces together well. I was born early 50's and lived through the 70's and 80's, and now l usually hate anything from that time, but you make it look so much fun. Did you do a course to learn this or is it an inate way you do things? We tend to favour more the English style often. All the best from Australia. Xxxx
In the cheese platter styling at the end I love those two marble candle holders. I’d use them In my bathroom to hold my small bath bombs and foot bath crystals.
I believe the painting is a native version of a caribou, there are versions like that in petroglyphs. Liked both table settings, but my mother taught me to always have the sharp side of the knife toward the plate, not away from it. Also would love to know where you were thrifting as I saw some fruit design plates in your video there that I have from JC Penny's that I'd love to get more of if possible! Would you be willing to go back to get them? I'm in WA state, but would pay to have them shipped here!
I have a vintage mall space, and plates do not sell well for me at all. However, I'm kinda thinking that the younger folks will be getting into sets since they tend to go against what us older folks are doing. 😆 I love how you styled your finds - as always!
I agree with everyone else on the styled vignette with the animal print. I just said “ahhhh”! P.S. Your hair looks fantabulous- the color and the shine looks great on you!
Laura. When you show how you were using the platter in your kitchen, I saw some lovely white vessels with black stripes. Could you tell me what they are or who made them ? Thanks.
On dinnerware: one of my first-ever resales was a small collection of 28 pieces of Villeroy & Boch "Acapulco" dinnerware that I purchased for $29 and sold for $1200! It has a huge cult following. Another is Rorstrand's "Mon Amie" pattern. I try and limit the dinnerware to Arabia Finland, Hornsea, etc. and stick to mid-20th Century ones that appeal to avid collectors.

No worries don't stress😊 I'm voting yes to Michele doing fashion with you🙋♀️

@@cathleenweaver6483I might have you covered! I have 3 and am going to force myself to pick a favorite and sell the other two this fall ❤️
I would love to see Michelle’s fashion! Seems like she has a really cool style.
@@leftcoastrevivalsadmiro tu genial estilo para decorar con la utilizacion de tan variados elementos y epocas te quedan espectaculares.
Love the deer art work.
Antelope pic is great!
The ibex painting is stunning as is the whole vignette! ❤️
Omg that alabaster platter was gorgeous and she put it back!!!
I know I have to get off this kick but I'm so jealous! I have never seen a Goodwill store in my area like the ones you have! LOVE "shopping" with you!
I used to live in the PNW and the Goodwills are much nicer compared the Goodwills in the South East from my experience, especially for home goods.
I just had to pause the vid at 13:00 and take in ALL the Beauty & talent that i was looking at on my screen🤩 (especailly w/ 🐈⬛ included)
You're amazing Laura!!💞
That floor lamp to the left is especially stunning. I love the styling parts of the videos!
That framed art work looks amazing on your wall. Great eye! Love it!
I love how you can look at a piece and know how to style it...
Thank you! I love the styling aspect the most 😁
I think that chenille “top” is actually a bed jacket, like a short robe worn over PJs 😊
I came to say the same thing. My grandmother used to have a very similar one😊
It is but I used to wear one as a top when I was a teenager in the 70s!
My Granny wore them and always looked great!!

Thank you! 🤗
Laura, your styling is always impeccable! Love the antelope Art above the new table on your exposed brick wall! It’s perfect!
The framed animal is just everything!! I love your style. Like ALL of it ♥️
I do well selling dishes. Specifically Plates and barware. I sell them individually because most are vintage and people want replacements.
It’s always so nice to log in to TH-cam & see a new video from you, Laura. You work so hard to bring us such quality videos & I just want you to know that your time is recognized & appreciated!

Laura the Fall Table Setting looks wonderful 👍😊☃️🍂🌾🌻
Your eye is impeccable. I absolutely love the items you choose, and the fact that you show us how you style them is an incredible bonus. So fun!
Thank you so much!!😁❤️
I was so happy to see a new video from you and I can’t wait to see your trip to Europe and what you found. ❤
Fun thrifting with you🎉😊
Love when the kitties join the videos!!!!
Youre am amazing interior decorator, Laura. Im always amazed. Wow'd me ❤
Love the stylized antelope print. Looks great in the vignette.
Thank you! ❤️
Loved the cave style print! Looks beautiful on your brick wall.
Love the square platter and the ibex painting. Nice finds!
I really loved the platter you found.. it's a keeper for sure 😀
Love, love your videos. 😊
Your styling is amazing.
Tae setting #1 was amazing!!❤ You are so talented
Wow!!You channel has grown so much so many subs!!!Congrats!!!Been here since you first started!!Love Goodwill hauls🍁🍂
I work at an opportunity shop. And we have a lot of trouble selling dishes! We usually sell them item by item.
Table #2!!! Love it 😊
Fall setting #2 for me I loved the pink coloring cups and like the cheese plate better and risky vase, Europe wow
Can’t wait for the clothing haul!
My goodness I missed you. You have such an eye for style.
I ❤️ 👈🏽 Ms. Laura...🌻🌻🌻
Loved that mug not too glossy for me. Goodwill has gotten too high. $49.99 was so overpriced for that jacket.
wayyyyyy too overpriced!
Agreed, far too high for a thrift shop
Girl, these wine glasses are to die for!
I’ve had luck selling dish sets both online and in my vintage booth. I do usually separate them into small groups, though (4 bowls, 4 plates, etc).
I adore the reindeer picture. ( The antlers going forward and backward suggest reindeer.) I always break up a dish set into twos, and do quite well. You can sell the singles as replacements. So happy for the forward trajectory of your business, Laura!
I’m glad you put some color in the settings 😀
Love your blue and white outfit.❤
I love your decorative styling.

“Con el pan y el vino se anda el camino” as we say in Spain😂😂
The entry table and big picture turned out beautiful!! I like your style!
I found you through All Put Together. I’ve been watching. You have some great finds!
I love you're 'styling'!!
Beautiful table setting!❤️ Knives should be turned in toward the plates 😉
You literally do magic with your styling
Love your decorations..
Wow! That looked Awesome!
Yay! You're back!!!
I love the antelope picture, very MCM! Those glasses with the gemstone looking base are awesome!
A lot of sellers I watch usually piece their plates out, probably due to the price of shipping!
I think that’s where I’ve gone wrong in the past. I always want to keep the set together but the shipping costs are soooooo high right now ☹️
Most people are looking for replacement pieces, others want to increase their collection by add place settings….. thus you need to be flexible and be open to requests
I love the Tramp art box ( own one similar to yours)
I lovvvve tramp art!
The styled entry table looks awesome!
Here in Denmark we don't really decorate for every seasons. The only time we decorate is for christmas. We normally decorate for christmas by december 1st. And we take it down again with in the first week of january.
I can’t wait to visit Denmark someday! ❤️ We’ll have to finally meet after all these years when I visit!
@@leftcoastrevivals That would be awesome for sure😀
Your hair is exquisite! ❤
Laura your hair looks gorgeous

You are ALWAYS AN INSPIRATION! Thanks--made my day.
I love, love the animal painting. I get a serious Sumi-e art vibe from it. Great find.
Such a great video! You have a great eye for putting things together 🩵🩵
