I appreciate you SO MUCH!! Publicly admitting this missed opportunity shows courage and grace. May it be returned to you in some other form, a thousandfold. 🌸
I love how much of a positive person you are Jocelyn. My heart was a little broken when I saw you didn’t find the vase but we all are humans and make mistakes. Now you know what to look for 😊
I picked up a vase, cuz I really loved it. The glaze was really nice, it was small. Like 6 in tall. It was a dollar, and I put it down and I walked around and I'm like I really like that vase I'm going to go get it. And lucky it was still there. Turns out it was a $600 vase. Woohoo.... For a dollar.
The pottery wall tile that said "Vastmanland" is a province in Sweden. The botanical on the tile is mistletoe, the provincial flower for Vastmanland. POE is a ceramic company in Sweden, I believe.

New subscriber and I am enjoying all of your library of videos. I wanted to say that I held a Million dollar PLUS oil painting IN MY HANDS at Relics Antique Mall in Springfield MO a few years ago. It was gorgeous, bright vivid colors, in a unique style, and it cost over $100 and I didn't think I was worth it so I put it back. Yes, I meant to say I didn't think that I, myself was worth spending $100 on just because I liked it. I have changed since then, and I do treat myself more. Some time later there was a big article in the local paper that somebody recognized the artist. It sold at one of the big New York art auction houses for over a million dollars. If only.....but you see? It happens more often then we realize. Best to you and your family. Thank you for all of your hard work teaching us all about the treasures to be found. EDITING TO ADD: I googled the event: Painting recently purchased at Relics Antique Mall sold at Christie's London Post War and Contemporary Art Auction on Feb 11. The final hammer price was $1.65 million plus commission. The pre-auction estimate for the Andre Masson original was $650,000, however, the painting's provenance drove the price beyond its estimate. Masson painted it from memory after witnessing a voodoo ritual in Haiti in the early 1950s.......
there was a huge painting at a local thrift shop. I wouldve bought as it was great, but didn't as it was just too big. I later found out it was worth about 20k.
I'm glad to hear you realize you are worth that and more.... theres another painting coming your way... and Jocelyn theres another vase coming your way
@@00jyjsarang NO, but wish I did. It was a very somber painting. Dark shadowy painting of a wedding gown draped on a chair, as if the wedding never happened. Very evocative. I'll look thru my old photos in the cloud, maybe I can see it.
Don’t beat yourself we all make mistakes. That’s how we learn. You will watch out for similar vases in the future no doubt. I’m enjoying seeing you embrace the pottery these days
Those german\ Bavarian 3 piece tea cups were from my grandma's and great grandma's era. We would have cake and coffee on them but only on special occasions. They are called sammel- tassen. Translation collection/ display plates/cups. Hope this helps. They sell for at least 40 dollars depending on condition and patterns.
Great Video Jocelyn, it is what it is, and I think you helped another person- indirectly by leaving the vase there. If the person who bought the vase does the research perhaps it will really help them financially. We all have learned from this experience. Thank you so much posting this video. I truly appreciate you
That’s how I feel about it at this point. I didn’t need the $16k or whatever the vase would have brought at auction. That money could mean a lot to someone! And I hope that if they realize what they have that it blesses them.
Jocelyn, that's an excellent way to look at it. I hope you're done second-guessing yourself or being frustrated with yourself for missing that vase. You find so many great finds, and you share your knowledge with us. Thanks! God bless you and keep you!

I remember that vase and was surprised when you put it back. It just looked like something that you would have bought. I had no idea either that it was so valuable.
Me too. I was surprised at that point too. Just feel like it is a nice decent piece, yet have no absolute idea of it could have fetched that high price. Holy smoke! One of the most wonderful things is this thrifting thing never ceases me from learning and have so much fun! Joslin it is not only you, I bet for everyone, this has happened at least once to us.
I have been on eBay since 1999….. I can’t imagine all the things I have missed thrifting all these years. You thrift and you learn on every trip. This happens to the best of us Jocelyn. Everything is all good. Much Love from Indiana ❤️
I feel your pain. So many times I'm out thrifting and I hear your voice say "gotta go with my gut". I've found so many things that I have found to be more valuable than I first thought. Recently found a Rosenthal Netter MCM vase that I thought "that's something CLL would pick up". I've been watching your videos for quite a while now so I am learning to differentiate between good stuff and really good stuff (at least I think so). Thanks for sharing your reasons for picking up certain pieces. I learn so much! Both the good and the bad. God bless!
Jocelyn, I have my own rule that I apply to things I find in thrift stores and such. It's my 3D philosophy. Don't Discount the Damage. Just because it has a little chip or slight damage, doesn't mean it has no value or someone will not want it. Many things have been auctioned off and sold, even with damage. I refer to Millers Antique guide. Some of the items she has listed in her books, have been auctioned off with damage at a nice price. Don't Discount the Damage. I like to see things with damage as "chipped relics". It gives the piece and I've heard you say it...."character". Just let this slide. Keep searching for your great finds and enjoy your passion for spotting them, you'll find your Picasso....I'm still looking for mine.
Jocelyn, maybe another reseller picked up the red vase and put it in their booth without doing any research. Then...maybe... if you check around the local antique malls and flea markets you could miraculously find it for a bargain price! Wouldn’t that be amazing? We can all dream of the video you could make from that experience🥰 I love your channel.. it’s my #1 go to!
@@trishan9537 true but whenever there are green pads and/or an antique sticker on it I put it in my cart or it will haunt me lol then I and research it later. Many things I think are ugly and not my style are worth so much and I just don’t get it 😆
I remember watching that video and thought to myself “GET IT!” the reason being red is my favorite color. For years I’ve been wearing a ring that I thought was fake turns out it’s worth $15,000 so glad I didn’t sell it at my last garage sale. We all make mistakes this too shall pass.
I always try to guess will she leave it or take, as she looks at it and shares info with us. I guessed she would take it, because it is unusual design for Where it was made.
Thanks for being real. I love learning from your videos. I had a condo fire and yea during covid no insurance. I miss my moms depression and milk glass and my grandma vintage furniture. I can’t afford to buy anything, so I love watching you shop and you help me mentally. Take care
Great video, thanks for sharing. Let’s us newbies know that everyone has bad days. & as my daddy used to say “you can’t lose what you never had”. I hope whoever got the vase, gets many blessings from it.
Joce, Give yourself a break. You can’t know everything. I think you do an amazing job of finding fabulous items to resell. You are one of my favorites!
@@CrazyLampLady Maybe someone else that lives close to you saw the comment about the value of the vase and went to that Goodwill to buy it the next day.
I recently left behind a 1930s dinner set for $10. I didn't look at the back on the day. It bothered me for about a week so I went back to see if it was still there. It was a six piece G & J Meakin "sunrise" set and I did a happy dance as I carried it to the car. I did however leave behind a gorgeous 1800's bible that still still haunts me a little.
The juliette get your gun is my daughter's favorite perfume, and B. Makowsky is married to Kathy VanZeeland ( sp?) both purse designers, use to sell theIr products on QVC. What a great shopping trip, even though the vase wasn't there.
I love the little pep talk you gave yourself..ending with "life goes on" Somedays that's all I tell myself to get over them opportunities I missed, or finger I threw to someone that was getting the raw end of my stick. That's what I truly have to remember, life does go on and I'm grateful for that. Say your peace and do it all over tomorrow. (Maybe, if we are fortunate enough) Thanks for your insight, Jocelyn. Bet you wont ever stop looking for it..as we wont either. 😊
It might be worth going back in a few days to see if similar items were donated at the same time from someone’s home. I remember finding 3 Lalique pieces in the same week at the same thrift store a few days apart. Someone’s collection I assume.
Keep going back. I passed up a painting my daughter later told me she wanted. I was sick because I knew it was her style and it was only $5. Went back a day later and could not find it anywhere. 2 weeks later it showed back up in the art section and I had looked theough everything!
Yes I’ve seen good will restock with old merchandise. Last year I was mad I passed on some pottery. Went back and it wasn’t there. Decided to hang out a while because they were restocking shelves, sure enough the put out the pottery I was looking for.
A chip is a huge deal with glass and can really take a hit on the value. Also that other one sold in 2006, and prices are a bit down for this kind of thing anyway. Final note, what a great attitude you have. Inspirational.
You know I bet that red and black vase had a giant invisible crack from top to bottom that on inspection would have made it virtually worthless That’s the way I think about things I’ve missed😺
That is one of the qualities that endears you to me. I have passed up stuff for various reasons, and then beat myself up because it was worth so much more. Thank you for sharing.
When I go to the antique stores, they sell things that have chips and cracks. I pay attention to how they have those things priced. I saw 2 McCoy matching vases, one with a small chip at the top of the rim and the other in perfect condition. The one with the small chip was priced @ $80.00 and the perfect condition vase priced @ $150.00. I know that some collectors like things to be in perfect condition, but I have learned that things with chips and cracks don’t matter to some people.
I went to a thrift store. And at first I did not see anything when I went through the store. But then I went around the store one more time . And went over to the men's clothes and I seen a brooks brothers sweater. It had the original price tag on it. It said it was 300 dollars. The thrift store sold it to me for 50 cents. I could not believe a person would give a 300 dollar sweater to the thrift store. But I was happy they did i love it.
I found 4 of the cats meow village buildings today at my Goodwill for $2 for all 4. You were in my head saying that’s a good price to buy them. So I did and already listed them. Thanks for all of your tips Jocelyn ~ your the best❤️
No way to learn without making mistakes (in a lot of cases). Don’t beat yourself up, Jocelyn. You are amazing at what you do and we are blessed to learn your knowledge from you channel! Cheers 🥂!
The chip would have taken down the value. Don't take auction values too literally. There's wide variability. The vase that sold for $13k was part of an Italian glass collection. That would draw the best possible customer. On eBay, you might never have connected with the high-ticket customer.
I understood your feeling!!! I did make a lot of same mistakes... But you are so lucky to have many knowledgeable viewers. They help you and correct your mistake. And you will be able to learn a new stuff. I’m so jealous.
I think everybody has that one regret of not following their instincts on something and I know I have done the same thing. I have seen antiques at phenomenal prices and didn't jump at the chance to pick them up but I do now even if it's an unplanned stop. You are right, life goes on and we learn as we go.
I wonder if someone read the comment on here and then went back to that store and got the vase. A lot of us live nearby the stores that you shop in. If anyone did please let us all know :-)
I often use Google Lens when I see something I want to research but sometimes forget to research in the store. One time I forgot and when I went home I researched it and discovered it was a very valuable antique bowl. I jumped into my car and drove 1 hour back to the GW arriving 2 minutes before it closed to discover it was still there! I was so excited and relieved!
My favorite bean crock is from Home and Garden Party Ltd. Picked it up at my local thrift and I use the heck out of it. Makes the best (and easiest) bean dishes.
I remember that vase saying get it to my phone! But I do that alot...I love to watch you I have learned so much from you. Good luck finding another vase!
You will get another great find. They're always going to be there. You need to slow down girl, you look like you are very tired. GET SOME REST! It wouldn't be the end of the world if you missed a days video. You and baby come 1st!! You did find some cool stuff today. 😎 From a caring fan that LOVES ❤ your videos. ❤ God bless 🙌
Oh, Jocelyn! So sorry. My heart sank when the vase was gone. But you are allowed to be human. I probably would have thought the vase was Home Goods . . .🥺
Always go with your gut!! I bought a Miss Priss teapot that had a minor chip on the base and some minor repair work up under the lid for 5 bucks. Learned from my regret on passing up on a piece of vintage Rookwood pottery that had a hairline crack for 3 bucks. Errrr. Never again.
I left a Fenton on the shelf the other day because I thought it was supposed to be a fairy light, missing it’s lid. I looked it up later and it was actually perfectly complete as it was. 😅 The next week however I found another Fenton piece (again, left it) and went back the next day and thankfully it was still there. The second piece was worth 20 times more than the other one I left. Meaning…your eyes are honed now, ready for the next rare museum quality piece that you find!
I feel your pain. I’m sure everyone has made monetary mistakes doing life. Just does happen. It can be a memory for you to tell your children and even grandkids one day! You handled it well! 💐
We have all done it. I missed out on a $4500 vase at Value Village cause a friend said "Don't buy it'. Looked it up later and we both regret it. Go with your gut!
Ohhhhhh What a bummer… I actually went to that site and that was exactly the vase what a drag , I have some Vases That having initials and are absolutely beautiful but I have never been able to find any information on them so I just keep them and hold onto them and hopes that I will find out information at some point. Love your Trifting , I do it too but I’ve never gotten myself motivated to sell
Those teacups and plates brought back memories of my "oma" she was German and we lived in Germany in the early 6o's. Everyear for Christmas and my birthday I would get one of those sets from her. Each one very different from the others. I was 8 when I started getting them and loved them even then. I had 8 sets but unfortunately the shelf my mom had them on fell and all but 2 sets broke..but I still have those 2 and still love them.
Don't beat yourself up .We all makes mistakes nobody is perfect .U did find some really nice treasure . Maybe when u go to another store maybe u might find it again .I agree that bird clock is noisy .I just seen it on a commercial not to long ago. Thank u for sharing your time 😊 have a wonderful day 💕
As i look back in my past many of the most valuable items i had i gave away or threw away. I feel your pain. One item was a book that ended up on the antique roadshow in tulsa okla where i was living at the time. sucks but oh well .
congrat on the the new baby girl soon to be here i wish u a safe pregnancy u be a great cool mom bc u do awesome videos and give me some hints on vintage stuff to buy at thrift stores
This is why we are treasure hunters... it's the thrill of the find. There will be another chance to find something tomorrow and today we get to be happy someone found that vase...
Oh mannn... loving that goodwill!! I really like how it's all organized by color!! Great idea!! Just starting to do what you're doing!! I hope I have success!! Thanks for your fun videos!
Bless your heart. Driving all that way and expecting to boot. Could you have called them and asked if they would have checked the shelves for you? Possibly FaceTime??? Well, ya win some and …😝You are my favorite influencer!!!! Better then being a bad influence!!! Peace and love sweet girl.
Tbh I can overlook something glued back together if it's done well. I've gotten a mini Venus statue replica that cracked at the neck but I still love it. Also the same case with another Greek statue of a muse, which cracked at the ankle.
Omg...I want that Portmeirion bowl! I started collecting a couple of years ago when I found a couple of pasta bowls in a thrift. I fell in love with the patterns, and I'm obsessed with it now! 😍 Kills me because I'm sure it's gonna end up in the dumpster if someone doesn't recognize its worth and either sell it or collect it personally.
The Schraff's brass candy box that sold for $3.99, I paid $12.00 for the same on Ebay, mine was not in as good of shape. I am a stitcher and find boxes like this charming and useful.
Oh, sweetheart. I'm sorry. You said it: you can't know everything. We all appreciate the knowledge that you pass on so generously. You will make it up someday.
Who in the world has a spare $13,000 for a glass vase? Anything without a hole below the water lines will hold flowers and you don’t have to insure it.
I always check local consignment/flea market type shops if I think I missed something. We have some local ladies who go every morning to all the donation stores and buy up everything. They take it to their consignment booth and double the price, still making it super cheap for buyers but they don’t research or check comps, and doing this, they all have made lots of money with little effort. Imagine if for every dollar you spent you got two back.
We can all relate I'm sure! Thank you for showing such grace and good humour. If it's any consolation, that $16,000 result was for a vase that came out of the private collection of Fulvio Bianconi. Exceptional provenance translates into higher bids. Often more than double/triple. I've seen that type vase sell for half that price and with the chip I am sure we are down to mere dollars ;--)
I was going to respond in a similar fashion. I had a Chinese altar table that sold for $14,400 with good provenance where I would typically get $1200. I have also sold items at 100x value because two family members got in a fight over the item. I am an appraiser and often times you have to throw out those top auction #.
And, the only person in the world who may have wanted the vase, now owns it, all the other bidders now gave a bitter taste and don’t want another! But seriously. I agree with the provenance remarks.
I saw that episode and I was astonished you left it behind. And let me say I know nothing about glass/pottery etc. But I thought it was exceptional looking and even if it were from Target people would love it. Always remember to TRUST your instincts...about everything. Sorry and hugs.
Västmanland, a part of Sweden. The flower is a mistletoe that represent Västmanland. POE: Eva Margareta Hellbom, ceramicist and artist born in Stockholm on April 13, 1920, ran a ceramics workshop in the 1950s together with her husband Pellis Hellbom. The workshop was located on the property Smedsbo 3 in Huddunge just outside Heby and was popularly called "Keramikfabriken". So, POE stands for Pellis och (and) Eva.
My great find... A huge special leather chair worth over $5,000. I cannot remember the brand. With the ottoman, it was worth $8,000. I begged my husband to get it, bc we had just brought a trailer load to donate, & had the empty trailer! He refused. I looked it up that week... 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱 I showed him the picture of it, with the price bc it still sells today! He still doesn’t believe it. 🙄 Chair was in mint condition ‼️

I recently left behind a 1930s dinner set for $10. I didn't look at the back on the day. It bothered me for about a week so I went back to see if it was still there. It was a six piece G & J Meakin "sunrise" set and I did a happy dance as I carried it to the car. I did however leave behind a gorgeous 1800's bible that still still haunts me a little.
The juliette get your gun is my daughter's favorite perfume, and B. Makowsky is married to Kathy VanZeeland ( sp?) both purse designers, use to sell theIr products on QVC. What a great shopping trip, even though the vase wasn't there.
I love the little pep talk you gave yourself..ending with "life goes on"
Somedays that's all I tell myself to get over them opportunities I missed, or finger I threw to someone that was getting the raw end of my stick. That's what I truly have to remember, life does go on and I'm grateful for that. Say your peace and do it all over tomorrow. (Maybe, if we are fortunate enough)
Thanks for your insight, Jocelyn.
Bet you wont ever stop looking for it..as we wont either. 😊
I recently sold a brand new in the box Sailor Moon Doll for $300. I got lucky and found it at our local GW for 9.99.
Red vase just wasn’t meant to be. You have the right attitude about just learning and letting that situation go. Keep up your joyful spirit.
Definitely follow your gut. It’s how you’ve made it so far. And it’s basically in your opener.
It might be worth going back in a few days to see if similar items were donated at the same time from someone’s home. I remember finding 3 Lalique pieces in the same week at the same thrift store a few days apart. Someone’s collection I assume.
I have found the same thing.
Same!
Keep going back. I passed up a painting my daughter later told me she wanted. I was sick because I knew it was her style and it was only $5. Went back a day later and could not find it anywhere. 2 weeks later it showed back up in the art section and I had looked theough everything!
Wow! That is crazy! 😊
Yes I’ve seen good will restock with old merchandise. Last year I was mad I passed on some pottery. Went back and it wasn’t there. Decided to hang out a while because they were restocking shelves, sure enough the put out the pottery I was looking for.
The vase dilemma happens to us all. It is the most frustrating feeling. Sorry it was gone.
A chip is a huge deal with glass and can really take a hit on the value. Also that other one sold in 2006, and prices are a bit down for this kind of thing anyway. Final note, what a great attitude you have. Inspirational.
Awwwe! Sorry that happened. But, you're right... you can't know everything, and life does go on. We still love you! 😊💟🥰
You didn't know. I agree with Cindy. Please do not beat yourself up over it. You do very well anyway 👍❤
You know I bet that red and black vase had a giant invisible crack from top to bottom that on inspection would have made it virtually worthless
That’s the way I think about things I’ve missed😺
Or red traffic lights I get when I need to be somewhere. All things happen for a reason. Maybe someday we will know the why
I feel your pain, missed opportunities are no fun. You're doing so great & an inspiration to all of us!
That is one of the qualities that endears you to me. I have passed up stuff for various reasons, and then beat myself up because it was worth so much more. Thank you for sharing.
When I go to the antique stores, they sell things that have chips and cracks. I pay attention to how they have those things priced. I saw 2 McCoy matching vases, one with a small chip at the top of the rim and the other in perfect condition. The one with the small chip was priced @ $80.00 and the perfect condition vase priced @ $150.00. I know that some collectors like things to be in perfect condition, but I have learned that things with chips and cracks don’t matter to some people.
That's a great tip. Thanks.
I'm hoping whoever bought the vase is watching your channel! You always find supercool things - just wasn't meant to be that day anyway....❤️
I went to a thrift store. And at first I did not see anything when I went through the store. But then I went around the store one more time . And went over to the men's clothes and I seen a brooks brothers sweater. It had the original price tag on it. It said it was 300 dollars. The thrift store sold it to me for 50 cents. I could not believe a person would give a 300 dollar sweater to the thrift store. But I was happy they did i love it.
I found 4 of the cats meow village buildings today at my Goodwill for $2 for all 4. You were in my head saying that’s a good price to buy them. So I did and already listed them. Thanks for all of your tips Jocelyn ~ your the best❤️
No way to learn without making mistakes (in a lot of cases). Don’t beat yourself up, Jocelyn. You are amazing at what you do and we are blessed to learn your knowledge from you channel! Cheers 🥂!
My instincts perk up when I see those green felt rounds on a vintage item. Someone at one point valued it enough to guard it from damage.
The chip would have taken down the value. Don't take auction values too literally. There's wide variability. The vase that sold for $13k was part of an Italian glass collection. That would draw the best possible customer. On eBay, you might never have connected with the high-ticket customer.
Wow, wow, wow! I was thrilled when I found a Waterford bowl in a Goodwill. For me it’s the thrill of finding such a treasure. Who would think?
I understood your feeling!!! I did make a lot of same mistakes... But you are so lucky to have many knowledgeable viewers. They help you and correct your mistake. And you will be able to learn a new stuff. I’m so jealous.
I think everybody has that one regret of not following their instincts on something and I know I have done the same thing. I have seen antiques at phenomenal prices and didn't jump at the chance to pick them up but I do now even if it's an unplanned stop. You are right, life goes on and we learn as we go.
I wonder if someone read the comment on here and then went back to that store and got the vase. A lot of us live nearby the stores that you shop in. If anyone did please let us all know :-)
I wondered that too. I would have made a bee line!
Just remember it's only worth what someone else will pay! Who knows maybe the person who got it knew its value and REALLY needed help financially?!
That’s a really great, positive thought!
I often use Google Lens when I see something I want to research but sometimes forget to research in the store. One time I forgot and when I went home I researched it and discovered it was a very valuable antique bowl. I jumped into my car and drove 1 hour back to the GW arriving 2 minutes before it closed to discover it was still there! I was so excited and relieved!
Is that what she uses to search items❓
Is it an app❓
I’m tech idiot! 🥴
My friend uses that too. I need to look it up. I keep thinking it’s only on android.
My favorite bean crock is from Home and Garden Party Ltd. Picked it up at my local thrift and I use the heck out of it. Makes the best (and easiest) bean dishes.
I remember that vase saying get it to my phone! But I do that alot...I love to watch you I have learned so much from you. Good luck finding another vase!
Waiting for someone to comment they bought it 😅
You will get another great find. They're always going to be there. You need to slow down girl, you look like you are very tired. GET SOME REST! It wouldn't be the end of the world if you missed a days video. You and baby come 1st!! You did find some cool stuff today. 😎 From a caring fan that LOVES ❤ your videos. ❤ God bless 🙌
Oh, Jocelyn! So sorry. My heart sank when the vase was gone. But you are allowed to be human. I probably would have thought the vase was Home Goods . . .🥺
Maybe it was. Things are only worth what people are willing to pay. Just happened somebody was at that auction and was willing to pay.
Bonniegirl, very true.
Always go with your gut!! I bought a Miss Priss teapot that had a minor chip on the base and some minor repair work up under the lid for 5 bucks. Learned from my regret on passing up on a piece of vintage Rookwood pottery that had a hairline crack for 3 bucks. Errrr. Never again.
There was a Dooney & Bourke purse. It has an embossed leather duck on it. Just for future reference.
Always love your videos. I sometimes put a towel or blankets that I find at goodwill in my basket to provide cushion in the basket
I left a Fenton on the shelf the other day because I thought it was supposed to be a fairy light, missing it’s lid. I looked it up later and it was actually perfectly complete as it was. 😅 The next week however I found another Fenton piece (again, left it) and went back the next day and thankfully it was still there. The second piece was worth 20 times more than the other one I left. Meaning…your eyes are honed now, ready for the next rare museum quality piece that you find!
How much did u get for it?
@@mariagallo6660 I paid $40 and it seems to be priced/sold between $100-300. I haven’t sold it yet, hoping someone buys it as a Christmas present…🤞
Hi , I just got home from thriftstore & thanks too you for al! The knowledge you have always giving me & my husband ! Your a super awesome 😊🤗
I feel your pain. I’m sure everyone has made monetary mistakes doing life. Just does happen. It can be a memory for you to tell your children and even grandkids one day! You handled it well! 💐
We have all done it. I missed out on a $4500 vase at Value Village cause a friend said "Don't buy it'. Looked it up later and we both regret it. Go with your gut!
Ouch! Wouch! Bless your heart. Sorry it was gone. 😥😢😭😪
it is crucial to understand that IF you loose money it means it was a payment for a serious trouble taken away from you. This is how it works. 100%.
I love this ❤
Ohhhhhh What a bummer… I actually went to that site and that was exactly the vase what a drag , I have some Vases That having initials and are absolutely beautiful but I have never been able to find any information on them so I just keep them and hold onto them and hopes that I will find out information at some point. Love your Trifting , I do it too but I’ve never gotten myself motivated to sell
Those teacups and plates brought back memories of my "oma" she was German and we lived in Germany in the early 6o's. Everyear for Christmas and my birthday I would get one of those sets from her. Each one very different from the others. I was 8 when I started getting them and loved them even then. I had 8 sets but unfortunately the shelf my mom had them on fell and all but 2 sets broke..but I still have those 2 and still love them.
I am so glad that 2 made it!
That's rough! We've all missed treasures, I know. I console myself with imagining someone else being happy about it.
I loved those vintage plates with the yellow flowers on them that you passed up. Im sure they were heavy, but super cute!
I would have picked those up if the price was reasonable. They have some value.
There was a grey Dooney & Burke in the purses, really cute! Great finds. Love watching you shop.
Don't beat yourself up .We all makes mistakes nobody is perfect .U did find some really nice treasure . Maybe when u go to another store maybe u might find it again .I agree that bird clock is noisy .I just seen it on a commercial not to long ago. Thank u for sharing your time 😊 have a wonderful day 💕
As i look back in my past many of the most valuable items i had i gave away or threw away. I feel your pain.
One item was a book that ended up on the antique roadshow in tulsa okla where i was living at the time. sucks but oh well .
Glad you looked up the perfume…..I was screaming at the screen…and it wasn’t worth 13,000.00……lol
I am glad you shared. You teach me me something everytime I watch so thank you for that. We all just learned with you!
You are awesome and we are always learning. Thanks for the great videos!
I've really come to enjoy your videos. I learn not only about the value of things, but your personality shines through too. Keep up the great videos!
congrat on the the new baby girl soon to be here i wish u a safe pregnancy u be a great cool mom bc u do awesome videos and give me some hints on vintage stuff to buy at thrift stores
This is why we are treasure hunters... it's the thrill of the find. There will be another chance to find something tomorrow and today we get to be happy someone found that vase...
Yowza. Sorry that happened to you, but I love your attitude about a missed opportunity. A good reminder to myself and probably others.
The second time I've really liked something...the Betsey Johnson bag) love her style!
I ve bought sold and use a b makovsky purse. Good quality. Nice finds despite not the red vase.
Oh mannn... loving that goodwill!! I really like how it's all organized by color!! Great idea!! Just starting to do what you're doing!! I hope I have success!! Thanks for your fun videos!
Bless your heart. Driving all that way and expecting to boot. Could you have called them and asked if they would have checked the shelves for you? Possibly FaceTime??? Well, ya win some and …😝You are my favorite influencer!!!! Better then being a bad influence!!! Peace and love sweet girl.
Tbh I can overlook something glued back together if it's done well. I've gotten a mini Venus statue replica that cracked at the neck but I still love it. Also the same case with another Greek statue of a muse, which cracked at the ankle.
Omg...I want that Portmeirion bowl! I started collecting a couple of years ago when I found a couple of pasta bowls in a thrift. I fell in love with the patterns, and I'm obsessed with it now! 😍 Kills me because I'm sure it's gonna end up in the dumpster if someone doesn't recognize its worth and either sell it or collect it personally.
Ahh, the one that got away! This line of work teaches me to detach. The great thing about reselling is there's always more to discover.
The Schraff's brass candy box that sold for $3.99, I paid $12.00 for the same on Ebay, mine was not in as good of shape.
I am a stitcher and find boxes like this charming and useful.
Oh, sweetheart. I'm sorry. You said it: you can't know everything. We all appreciate the knowledge that you pass on so generously. You will make it up someday.
That last bag is great. He does wonderful work. His wife is Kathy Van Zealand, she does purses too.
Who in the world has a spare $13,000 for a glass vase? Anything without a hole below the water lines will hold flowers and you don’t have to insure it.
People will pay millions for paint splattered on a canvas....
I always check local consignment/flea market type shops if I think I missed something. We have some local ladies who go every morning to all the donation stores and buy up everything. They take it to their consignment booth and double the price, still making it super cheap for buyers but they don’t research or check comps, and doing this, they all have made lots of money with little effort. Imagine if for every dollar you spent you got two back.
We can all relate I'm sure! Thank you for showing such grace and good humour. If it's any consolation, that $16,000 result was for a vase that came out of the private collection of Fulvio Bianconi. Exceptional provenance translates into higher bids. Often more than double/triple. I've seen that type vase sell for half that price and with the chip I am sure we are down to mere dollars ;--)
I was going to respond in a similar fashion. I had a Chinese altar table that sold for $14,400 with good provenance where I would typically get $1200. I have also sold items at 100x value because two family members got in a fight over the item. I am an appraiser and often times you have to throw out those top auction #.
And, the only person in the world who may have wanted the vase, now owns it, all the other bidders now gave a bitter taste and don’t want another! But seriously. I agree with the provenance remarks.
I saw that episode and I was astonished you left it behind. And let me say I know nothing about glass/pottery etc. But I thought it was exceptional looking and even if it were from Target people would love it. Always remember to TRUST your instincts...about everything. Sorry and hugs.

POE: Eva Margareta Hellbom, ceramicist and artist born in Stockholm on April 13, 1920, ran a ceramics workshop in the 1950s together with her husband Pellis Hellbom. The workshop was located on the property Smedsbo 3 in Huddunge just outside Heby and was popularly called "Keramikfabriken". So, POE stands for Pellis och (and) Eva.
My great find...
A huge special leather chair worth over $5,000.
I cannot remember the brand.
With the ottoman, it was worth $8,000.
I begged my husband to get it, bc we had just brought a trailer load to donate, & had the empty trailer!
He refused.
I looked it up that week...
😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
I showed him the picture of it, with the price bc it still sells today!
He still doesn’t believe it. 🙄
Chair was in mint condition ‼️
My grandparents had the bird clock also. It drove me nuts!
I was so hoping you would find the vase. Who knows, it could be on the shelf again someday.
You missed a Dooney & Bourke purse in the color Elephant (or gray) ☺️
