- This Wednesday I have a lot of fun things to show you. First several pieces of the Ideal Petite Princess Line from the 60's but I also have several vintage items that I need help identifying! Maybe you can help me!?

See you there!
I had a friend give me a collection of Petite Princess as well but they were VERY beat up unfortunately. I was so happy to see how well these had been preserved and learn about all the little accessories that were supposed to be with them! How fun! Thanks for sharing, Whitney!❤
I was thrilled to find that most of the pieces were in great shape. Shocking that this spent so much time stored in the garage and stayed so lovely. Living is CA has a few perks cause in many places the heat never gets to the TEXAS insanity and it helps preserve these tiny treasures.
Not being able to see it really well, the blue pitcher with the lady on the front, looks like it may be soap stone. Soap stone feels like a plastic resin ceramic kinda mixture almost 'soapy'. It feels weird to me LOL. The wooden vases you sid felt rough inside look like polished bamboo. It was a common material to use in the tourist trade because it was plentiful and easy to work with. Those and much of the accessories you showed at the beginning, really look a lot like tourist pieces from Europe and Asia maybe from around the 40's pre-war. The smashed chair looks like pewter and, like you, I'm fairly certain it's German. That wannan absolutely incredible haul!! First the pretty princess!!! WOW!!!😍 And then mid century modern dust collectors!! 🥰 Love it!! Almost forgot! Sometimes the yellowing that appears in random spots is from body oils and acids on the fingers. It can wick onto the imitation satin when being handled. It can happen with paper and paintings too, and thats why museum currators and some collectors wear those white, poly blend gloves when handling the items. Hopefully, some of the superfluous random bits of knowledge I've picked up and retained over the years will be of some use 🤷♀️. That was a really cool haul!!
thank you so so much for this information. There is so much to know and learn and I certainly appreciate any help I can get! I had wondered if hand oils made a difference, and I also wondered if it was related to smoking in the house, although these did not have a smoke smell. So I'm thinking you are absolutely right! I'm going to lookin into the polished bamboo, someone else mentioned taung nut carving or vegetable ivory. I'm sure with all the great direction I'll get to the bottom of it! Thank you again for your information, means so much to me!
🎉wow what a donation coooooooooool 🎉
I know right! Unbelievable. so exciting.
Wow! I didn’t know Petite Princess made so many wonderful items. I still have the piano from childhood but its leg is broken. The red oval rug is a vintage Barbie, Suzy Goose rug. Back in the day when they made houses, like Petite Princess house, they were out of vinyl covered cardboard. My Barbie cases were made in the same way. I used to have a vinyl troll house as a kid. Now, Zoltar has a gypsy wife! LOL
I knew that rug was something special!!! Thank you for letting me know it a Barbie, Suzy Goose! I so love the petite princess furniture it is just so fab!
Those vinyl covered cardboard Barbie cases were a thing. I think i had some Liddle Kiddles house made like that too
You’re so nutty lol! Super interesting haul, I’m learning a lot about miniatures.
bahahahahahaha!!!! I don't know why that really had me rolling and then I couldn't get back on track!
WOW, how nice that someone gave those to you! I am envious, I completely admit it!
Yes, my mother in laws close friend is a fan of the channel and she had all this stuff in her garage. She told my mother in law to give this stuff for me to sell as she knows that I make a living that way. What a blessing! The only thing she wants are pictures of the items I keep in a pretty room box, so I am working on that!
It's so odd that anyone, even in the '60s, thought it was ok to sell dollhouse miniatures with a little lighter included lol
Incredible haul. So many cool pieces.
I remember buying those gum cigarettes and pretending to smoke when I was kid and parents had no problem with that at all, lol...times they are a changin'!
@@WhitneyLaBrie same here 😆 My dad bought them for us.
I thought the same thing!
🎉the set your not sure what its made of looks like maybe bamboo !!!🎉
Yes a few have mentioned bamboo! I am for sure going to check it out!
At44:0 this is an incredible miniature Japanese set.
The teapot,it is called a ‘Tokoname’ teapot,and the accessories match.
That’s a super nice set.
If it’s still available,I’m buying!
I had a feeling you would know what that was! It's shipping tomorrow! :)
🎉the lil giraffe looks like wade and is collectable with a lil value 🎉
The little house was Wade also. I'll look into the Giraffe! Thank you for the info, I'll do some more research!
🎉i need a tea and dollhouse mug 🎉
Yes you do!!!!
That shoe would make a nice mouse canoe! 🤭
I love that you a saw a canoe also when you saw it. That's exactly what I saw when I first picked it up!
That’s are a treasure trove of Princess Petite! My sister and I had the Princess Petite house and furnishings thanks my sweet grandma. As a child I LOVED the bedroom set, perfume bottles and the TV! To this little “ country girl” it all seemed so luxurious! Sadly, we no longer have the house or any pieces as we passed it all on many years ago to another family. I’d like to think it’s still out there being enjoyed by young children!
Your other miniatures were fun to see too. Enjoy the rest of the week. Thanks for sharing! Kathleen
yes I agree. I felt the same way about the furniture when I first saw it, I thought it was so luxurious. I didn't know about it until I was an adult and I have slowly been collecting the items. I still do not have the tv and I am always on the hunt. They have them on eBay but the run about $100 or more and I just can't bring myself to pay that much...hope you have a great week too!
@@WhitneyLaBrie fingers crossed you get the TV … for far less than $100! Kathleen
Hi Whitney, nice haul! The white/black fabric piece is actually woven with that pattern, I believe. Very nice piece. The first group of mystery items might be tauga nut carvings. Tauga is sometimes called vegetable ivory and it comes from South America, I believe. The two Asian-looking vases appear to be cloisonne and are probably Japanese. The blue vase with the raised white figure is meant to copy Wedgwood jasperware. I think your guesses were pretty much spot on for the rest. Great to see these treasures; thanks for sharing!
Thank you so so much for your knowledge. I will do some more research on those using the information you gave me. Thank you again.
Yes,they are definitely tagua nut indeed!
They carve like majick and stain beautifully,I carve them often.
@@charlesperez9976 I’m looking forward to researching these when I get home!!!!
🎉hi hun x🎉
Hi Love!
All of those little pots and vases are Perfect Barbie 1:6 scale and I would Kill for those--they are Really Hardto find in our local thrift stores....! [Great Video!!]
You are right! It is really hard to find good quality 1/6 Barbie things that are not plastic. I do look in thrift store and you are right, tough to come across!
Petite Princess items are always so fancy and glamorous. The pieces you have are in really good condition.❤😊
This was such a great blessing that they donated them to me. She said, "I know Whitney will find forever homes for these." It was just so kind cause she also knows it's how I make a living. Very thoughtful!
@WhitneyLaBrie Yes, there are some wonderful people in the world. Sometimes, I wonder then something always happens that makes me believe in the goodness of people again.❤️
I think the little clay pot may say cariño which is a Spanish endearment meaning something like dear. It looks like there may be a little mark (tilda) over the n. If so, the pots may be Mexican or from some other Spanish speaking country in the Americas. The metal figure with a stork looks like an Egyptian tin soldier. The English Wade buildings were highly collectable 40 or 50 years ago. There was a huge range available. The little picture frame from Paris may be silver. Worth testing anyway. Hoping something in this may be useful to you.
oh thats good to know. I will research it a little more! I really appreciate you giving me this information it is so, so helpful. Thank you very much!
At 34:10,that’s a cute imitation of Wedgewood jasperware.
You can test what it’s made of by heating up a pin and pressing it onto the bottom,if it smells like burning plastic,then it’s exactly that.
But it’s really nice!
thats good to know! I'll try it and see what happens.
What a super haul! I recently inherited my mom's collection of Petite Princess. The pieces are in new condition, but many of the tiny accessories have "vanished"! One of the inserts is missing for the tea cart. would you consider selling one of yours to me? Thanks so much.
That's so cool that you have the furniture form your mom, what a cool treasure! I have the tea cart for sale in my eBay store, I won't be separating the inserts from the cart, however, I did notice that some one has just one insert for sale also on eBay!
My Barbie house was a tri-fold vinyl. I was careful of my toys so it still looks good 55 years later. And it still has that vinyl smell
oh wow that is so cool! I wish I had so many if my toys from childhood..but I already have a hard time finding room for the things I currently have! I'll tell you what really hurts though...is walking through antiques stores and coming up on toys I had when I was a kid...I'm like "excuse me, get this out of here!" I'm not ready for my childhood to be antique!!! lmao
The little bear pendant,that’s quite possibly Zuni Pueblo fetish,it could have some value,even if not signed by the artist.
Thats so awesome! I can't wait to do some more research on it.
Right now on ebay someone is sell a great lot of like 10 pieces for 40 bucks and the clock & tri fold screen is in the collection. All for just $40!
OMG that is a fabulous deal! Someone is going to scoop that up quickly!
The blue pitcher with white kneeling lady on it, it is unglazed bisque. It is made to look like Wedgewood but probably is a Japanese copy. The older wood looking couple are made from a composite called Sirocco. The thin roundish milkglass pot is very old English Bristol glass. The dried flowers in the glass dome bottle was a pendant at one time. The heavy pot metal metal piece is probably part of an antique lamp. The bent patio chair is actually a lead rocking chair by Adrian Cook, it is c 1890s.
Thank you so much for sharing your info with me! It's so helpful not just to me but other viewers! I loving learning new things. I knew that bent patio chair was special, I hate that is was squished. I think with patience , it could be bent back.
Whitney, the only thing I can add is that the bicycle is a penny farthing! Lol!
Oooh very cool! Thank you
You are so funny and cute. Merry Christmas girl.
awe thank you! Merry Christmas to you too! xoxoxo
How did I miss this?! Lol that sucks the Michael Jackson doll was fadded... I'm gonna have to a doll house I'm so in love with all the miniatures!! ❤ btw I laugh at your jokes 😂
lol..I'm so happy you laugh my silly jokes! I know I was so upset when I picked that doll up and found it in such bad shape! You can tell that when it was originally made it was probably pretty awesome!
@WhitneyLaBrie I agree!! Yeah I do think there funny 😁 someone made a prince doll for my oldest sister and she gave it to me I of course lost his shoes and something else... I still have him lol
❤😊
xoxoxoxoxo!
What a brilliant haul! I really like the owl on the book.
thank you, I was really partial to that owl too. Something about it is so cool!
