I got 4 of the pressed oak chairs at an auction this weekend for $1 for all of them. I was so excited! They are the nicest quality I’ve ever had at my table. ❤ I live in a rural area, so the thrift stores aren’t that great, but I find a ton of great stuff at local auctions.
Thrift intentionally in 2024, sounds like a good strategy for team Ray! Take care of yourselves by using time wisely, you work hard and accomplish an astonishing amount each week! Blessed and safe days!
That happened to me today at goodwill with a purse. It was hung on the cart and I got it down and some lady snatched it from me. And then just walked away. It took me a min to even realize what she did. She booked it to checkout line. Like we didn't both have a hold of it. I thought I was standing there alone. 😂 people are wild sometimes while thrifting. Glad you didn't back down.
It is such a blast thrifting along with you guys! I watch a few other thrifter channels and they are not nearly as fun as you! Thanks for taking us along on your adventures!
Well when you drive a Very expensive SUV, you try to take care of it, and it’s good to walk, even if I had a old clunker, I would park in the back, I am 65, and I need to walk for exercise,
I went to a Habitat for Humanity Restore in Raleigh, NC, and found four chairs I’ve been looking to find. I also found an end table that is exactly what I needed. Now I have to rent a vehicle, at I have no idea the cost to take them to my home. The prices are great for the furniture but at a higher cost to transport. They charge $99 at the store for transporting by a third party, for either delivery or pick up of donations. I like helping stores that help the community. This one gives to the Alzheimer’s Association, its funds. I think I’ll get my grandson to drive the rental vehicle, to get the items I need.
Love ❤️ that the two of you both go first to separate sections in the store then come back together- you scope out more that way 😆 love 💕 that you thrift together. I’m only a few seconds into the video but had to stop and tell you that lol. Now I will continue watching ❤
From your thrifting adventures I have learned that some really expensive kitchenware can be found on the cheap and in great condition. Love your videos and your positivity. 🤩
Good for you for standing your ground with the book ends. I had a guy snatch a vintage case out of my hands 2 weeks ago at goodwill. Some people are just tools
My husband drops me off at the door, and he parks way out in the back 40! His reason is the same as Zebs, but it's usually adults who are really inconsiderate, and park too close to his car (he also never parks next to another car), and let's their door open into ours! He loses his mind when he sees a new ding or scratch! He's so careful with our 6 vehicles, and he's the only driver!!! (There is a good reason for most of the 6 cats, but he's obsessed with cars and can't pass up a great deal!)
Hi Jami... I completely related to your comment about looking at what other people have in their cart and trying not to be too disappointed in missing something. I'm not a reseller or anything, but I love a good thrift store browse and find. One time, I saw a lady with a vintage suitcase (small-ish) in her cart it was so unique - it had to be from the 1940s. I saw her earlier by chance and it wasn't in there then, so I made a nice comment about the find and she said she saw it coming in on a cart, man I *almost* could have been the duck bookends lady!...lol😂 jk. Loved shopping with you both today! ~Laura 😊
We always park close in the handicap section but if no empty spots my husband will drop me off in front and go find a space . I think you both got a good haul ❤
the lady bunny with the 2 baskets that are open are to place a fern. silk flower . some kind of plant. hole is just big enough to get a small hunk of florist foam into
I was shocked at that woman but not surprised. I run into a lot more rude people these days. They seem so entitled! Good for you Jami for standing up for yourself with class.
OK lol😂 I had to stop the video to answer this one, it depends if I’m driving my car or if I’m driving my husband’s huge diesel truck on where we park.🤣😉 And it also depends if I’m driving or if he’s driving. I like to park up front. He likes to park way out in the middle of nowhere.😂 drives me crazy!😜🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
That heavy glass/vase about 12” tall - might be a collectible from an old restaurant Winsteads. They use to serve a large large ice cream float in it. Serves several people. You might look it up.
😂😂 I always get comments about how far I park from the store but when you have a big car, it's easier. Also, I don't mind walking and I prefer to film from far away, it looks better
I think with you two sharing where you live, and where you thrift, you have secret followers, who now mimic what you do and are fighting over the things that you want. lol But I love that you share it it’s what makes sure TH-cam channel
I don’t think this lady was a follower. But I’m sure that it does sometimes make it so there is less stuff. But it’s okay because somehow we always find plenty lol.
Oh how I wished I lived near you! I have five of the chairs like the one you found by itself and I am desperately looking for a sixth. But alas I live way to far away. Such a bummer when you see someone thrifting and you know you aren't close enough to buy it.
Ohmygosh can you even believe that woman?! We all know if we're 1st at thrifting or grabbing something vintage at an antique store or flea market. Who does that?! Glad you got the bookends & stood your ground! Love the creamer & pitcher❤ it'll be so cute planted it some greens put in it🌿💚 The canning jar looks unique! Let us know if it's antique!
You are so right...park as far away but, people are ignorant and still hit your doors...I parked away from store and a little old lady pushed her buggy away from her car hit mine...I lost it.
I find it interesting when thrifters say they can't find anything. Whether it's at a thrift store or the Goodwill bins. One can ALWAYS find items to resell. It's just some days you may not feel it, or you're being selective or "picky" and not realize you're being selective or "picky." Because as I watch these videos, I see items being passed over, while in other videos, you would or have bought the same item. (When I say "you," I'm referring to thrifters in general). I believe 98 percent of items in thrift stores can be repaired, refurbished, re-purposed, or upcycled if someone chooses to do so. So when thrifters say they aren't, can't, or didn't find anything, it's because they just weren't "feeling" it. I mean if someone does this on a regular basis, they are going to have days where they just aren't "feeling" it. (FYI...I watch several resellers on TH-cam, and it's the same with all of you, I watch you guys (resellers in general) walk past items or pass on items that you have purchased in past videos, or you purchase in future videos. So...instead of saying you can't or didn't find anything, just say you weren't "feeling" it. However, I enjoy watching all the videos regardless if you purchase anything or not.
Hi , I’ve noticed your prices are going up just like our charity shops in UK but they haven’t just added a little to price ,some things are 3 times what they were last year 😢
Being disabled I park in handicap but would park between the entrance doors if they would let me😄 The eagle clock, that was God's way of saying nnnnnno...put it back. LOL way to grab the ducks!❤
@@JamiRayVintage see how I pay attention? So I don’t know what I did earlier today but I remember what you thrift. I’m pretty sure that’s more important
I hate to be a pest, but I'm seeing so many different paints and things you use, I cant remember it all. What is the dark stuff that you put over the light paint and then rub off right away? Thanks so much for all your help..😊
You’re not a pest it’s hard to keep up. We use dark wax. And we usually clear wax it first if the paint we’re using doesn’t have a built in sealer. Here is the link to dark wax jamirayvintage.com/products/diy-wax-dark-diy-paint?ToPasteboard If you ever have questions and I miss it in comments we have a dedicated customer service manager and she is amazing. You can email info@jamirayvintage.com and if she doesn’t know the answer she contacts us ❤️
Good for you for keeping those book ends. Don't ever allow people to take advantage of you. Some people think they are entitled. Love your videos.
I agree, plus the lady could easily tune in on Saturday night's thrift haul and buy them, just sayin! Have a great day :)

That bookend woman is insane! Zeb you did get a big clock! Just walking away from crazy is always a good plan😂🥰
You go with your brass duck book ends lol 😂
I sure did all the way to the cash register. Also helps that I travel with Zeb. No one usually messes with me. But she was spicy.
I just wish that would happen to me I never get to have any fun😂😂..I’m Italian so it would be on🤣🤣🫶🏽…such ignorance I’m glad u got those book ends❤
You’re so lucky to have that view and the snow.

She was not a Lady. That would be me standing there , wondering. ❤
It is pretty cool that Zeb knew what a charger is....many people do not. Even some women. lol
I am a Back 49 Parker, I am 65, and have always parked my nice SUV way in the back away from other cars and kids, Amen 🙏 Jami
It is such a blast thrifting along with you guys! I watch a few other thrifter channels and they are not nearly as fun as you! Thanks for taking us along on your adventures!
Some people are just drama queens, good on you Jamie for not giving into her. With parking the closer the better for me x

❤ you may buy the weirdest things BUT you redo them WONDERFULLY 😊
Good haul, I'm glad you got the book ends. Just some people for get manners
Definitely want a close to the door parking space !! Loved the big clock and the 2 pack of Rae Dunn yard pieces !!!
That big clock is everything! Yay for the bookends! Tell the lady, touching them with your eyes only doesn’t count LOL 👀
You go girl...those ducks were yours lol
Love ❤️ that the two of you both go first to separate sections in the store then come back together- you scope out more that way 😆 love 💕 that you thrift together. I’m only a few seconds into the video but had to stop and tell you that lol. Now I will continue watching ❤
I’m a back 40 for sure. I also have a truck and cars love to park so close to me I loose back access.
Love all the great stuff you find.
Those Wooden Rabbits were popular in the 90's. Most of us painted ours, the Fabric Ears were switched out each month for Seasonal/Holidays👍🏼
100% park in the sticks...door dings are no good....also the walk is good exercise!👍
Those ducks are pretty cool, and yes- many times I scout out other thrifter’s carts as I pass by. You aren’t the only one on that. .
I really like that little sailboat.
You are such an inspiration to me I am a very small store but now I have higher hopes! thank you xoxoxoox
From your thrifting adventures I have learned that some really expensive kitchenware can be found on the cheap and in great condition. Love your videos and your positivity. 🤩
If the weather is nice, I park far. If it's raining hard, windy, snowy and/or cold, look for a close spot.
Jami I am glad you held on to those Ducks, I am not a reseller, but I like To buy Home Decor, and Buy Paint from you all, some People are so Rude,
SOAP OPERA too❗❗❗I love it.
Good for you for standing your ground with the book ends. I had a guy snatch a vintage case out of my hands 2 weeks ago at goodwill. Some people are just tools
I’m sorry that’s awful :(
FYI the juice pitcher with the star on the bottom is one of the many varieties of depression ware.
I TRY to park further away because walking is good for you. But as soon as I see a nice close one, I zip right into that spot.
I am a back forty parking person. 👍 good haul

Happy to hear you stood your ground, what a rude lady. Really nice haul!
Love Mondays! ❤
I’m an up close parker. I drive very old cars, so I don’t stress about it.
Good for you on not backing down since you had the bookends first! I dislike aggression, too!

Called a 64 oz skyscraper shake
Can’t wait to see how you paint the bunny- I love it.
back forty parking. we have a duelly truck and usually need 2 spots and my husband hates hogging up 2 spots close to the store
Remember, possession is 9/10 of the law. 😂 Good for you standing up to the bully.
That’s funny. When we got in the car that’s what I told Zeb 😂😂
I think the little bunny girl with baskets with holes are to hold flowers
😂😂 I always get comments about how far I park from the store but when you have a big car, it's easier. Also, I don't mind walking and I prefer to film from far away, it looks better
Yes I agree unless it’s cold lol
Something that I will never hear my husband say: "We need to get to another thrift store fast." I think it is so great that you two thrift together.
Read reviews before viewing. Drama huh? Let me get the popcorn😂😂
Haha I don’t know if it’s popcorn worthy but it’s about the most drama I have lol 😂
Cant wait to see what you do with the shelf clock, it is cool
Zeb there was a beautiful silver candlestick holder that you missed. I don't know if you could have used it with your chargers but it was very pretty
Back forty!😆
I can get steps in that way also.
Enjoyed the video❣️
I park far away I don't want anyone dinging my doors either and I don't park near cart corrals either.
The leather clock is so unusual!

It took a while but we found some fun stuff
Our DI just cleared all the shelves in the yard the other day... not sure why...

Really fun thrifting
Love the wee rabbit, but I wouldn’t paint him.🌺🌺
Ugh, I hate it when I find myself having cart envy!

I’m 75 and park far away cuz door dings irritate me. My vintage lady friends think it’s crazy to park far away but I let them out and go park🙄😳🤗
You could bulk paint spray a base color on some things and then do a vieo on accents, decals, distressing, waxing etc. :)
We use our paint sprayer in the warm weather. It’s to cold to spray right now
@@JamiRayVintage oh shoot! Didn't think of that 😆
You are so right...park as far away but, people are ignorant and still hit your doors...I parked away from store and a little old lady pushed her buggy away from her car hit mine...I lost it.
It’s so hard to keep them ding free
Yeah 1st one!! I park in the back also!!!
Those candlesticks would be $12 & $15 where I’m at
I like the Clock without the Eagle, and you all will make it look beautiful
Maybe you can gently pry the eagle off the clock?
Lamps for bases for the trays!!!

Now Jamie, would you Please let your Fans know if that Afghan solded, , It was a little to Bright for this old Lady, but I bet you can sell it, lol
Happened to me today! Spotted a vintage baby pink wicker plant stand in a a ladies buggy & I stalked her, hoping she’d put it back😂
Back forty. And it's not just kids.
A lot of people don't like clear cut glass but I love it
Closer the better or Zeb would have to drop me off at the door 😂😂😂😂
Hi , I’ve noticed your prices are going up just like our charity shops in UK but they haven’t just added a little to price ,some things are 3 times what they were last year 😢
I would have told bookend lady they could be hers if she visits the website. I love entitled people.
Hahaha! Good one!
I'm sad when I see something on here that I can't have lol
Being disabled I park in handicap but would park between the entrance doors if they would let me😄
The eagle clock, that was God's way of saying nnnnnno...put it back. LOL
way to grab the ducks!❤
If you’ve got some velvet laying around that would make much better ears for the rabbit.
Oh that would be cute. I’m not much of a seamstress so I’m just gonna keep the ears but paint the bunny to match.

Yes, same process. We usually do the copper patina Pennies from Heaven and then dark wax it
Our goodwill made people stop getting stuff off carts cause people be crazy.
That lady who wants the duck bookends can buy them off your site🤣
I'm with you Zeb we park in the back forty for the same reason! Jamie you look so pretty are you getting younger?? Lol
