The pottery duck @ 17:18 is a Margaret Hudson piece. She had quite a following in the CA Central Valley. I have several of her pieces that my husband bought for me in Fresno, CA. PS you may want to check the volume level on your video- I had to turn mine up to full volume to hear you - then got blasted out with every commercial break.
Has anyone mentioned the volume of your videos? I wish you could turn it up. Love watching your finds, but I can barely hear you without turning my phone up to the highest point and then the ads blast my ears. Just a suggestion.
iT's called a Grolla, and yes, you fill it with some type of wine and pass it around. My parents owned one- it was gifted to them when they were visiting relatives in Italy
You're right about the Italian friendship cup! It's for friendship coffee! I found one for $15 a couple months ago at a thrift store. When I did my research I learned that friendship coffee is coffee with alcohol.😊
Haha! I didn’t see a single penguin! I was so sad. I am the keeper of penguins! I only have 2 right now but if I find them for $20 or less, I get them. Anytime I take them to a get together, somebody comments they’d like one. I like to keep a backstock for 🎁! My daughter in law does parties for work and family, and she, my son, and her brother are all gourmet cooks. At Christmas she did a kinda charcuterie table for work and she used it fot something hot. She said she could use another one and I just happened to have an extra. And my granddaughter didn’t have one, so I had one for her.
Try negotiating the price on an item you love, but is slightly over budget. I tied it at a Goodwill and it worked! I got a really nice table fire pit and 4 chairs for only $125; $50 off the posted price!
That Picasso inspired art was FABULOUS! Those blue napkins with the white embroidery looked like maybe those were bees? Love the fashion drawings! And I am so grateful for your eclectic style! It’s so inspiring! Thanks for showing us Reno!
I had to giggle because you had already signed off and there you were in another thrift shop. i'm glad you found the Betosis! They are so cute. And the Squash Blossom! Wow!
Mmmk. I haven't even started watching it yet; I wanted to comment to say how excited I was to see that a new Laura Caldwell video was up **AND** it's 41 minutes long, toooo?!? ❤🙌🥰
I love your videos, but I had a hard time hearing this one. I had my headphones turned up all the way and still struggled, and I don't have hearing issues.
I get so excited when you have a new video! I get kind of hypnotized while watching all the great things you find. Not only are your videos fun, but they're also very educational.
Hi! I happen to be watching an older video today. That vase in the live edge wood is actually an oil lamp. You can put clear or colored oil in the vessel and you drop a wick inside. There’s a little stopper on the wick that keeps it from going all the way through the top. I have one as my husband bought one for me as a gift because I had been wanting one. Up in Fortuna, California at a Redwood burl shop. I live in Mendocino county and they are popular up here. Love love love your videos! I have learned so much about MCM from watching you. Thank you
LOL! the corn on the cob pans, I had two one from my mother in law and one from her mother. I gave them to my daughter, who made brownies in them, frosted with fudge frosting and called them "turds" for a themed Halloween party
I've lived in Reno for 6 years and sometimes you will find some really good stuff in Goodwill as well! I wished I looked around more back then, but I am back home in Vegas now. I hope I can find a good deal on some art deco pieces / furniture.
I have one of the friendship cup. You pour liquor in and then it is passed around and everyone has one hole to drink from. I got it in a small village in the Aosta valley in northern Italy. They are generally hand carved from a nice wooden piece. Quite intriguing, no?
A few years back, I found a great St. Vincent de Paul thrift in Reno. Amazing clothing and prices. Also, if you're ever in Winnemucca, you need to find the Frugal Flamingo.
Yes, on the corn muffin pan , it was my 2nd great grandmother's.. It is in perfect condition and I yes, I do use it. I have family cast iron. Among many other things .
I see a lot of comments about the sound levels. Just wanted to say I watched the video first on my TV using my Roku device and the levels were fine. I watched it again on my iPad and definitely noticed the same problem others have mentioned. Maybe it's an issue between TH-cam and Apple devices?
I'm on a Samsung android phone and b bad to turn it way up to hear, then got blasted out with the ads. Watched it first on my television and levels were fine!
I live in Virginia City, NV, and I used to shop Reno thrift stores years ago. I didn't know about the first 3 places, but I'm glad you found Junkee's. I spent a lot of time lots of time and cash when I was there last. Both my daughter and I love it there. She takes in her clothes and gets credit for other clothes! Last time we both were there, she had to have an armadillo purse with red gemstone eyes! I didn"t know the other places either! I got some shoppin' to do! That was a fun trip and only 35 mins. away from my home!!!!
Laura your so lucky finding all those beautiful things guess what? Our small town has a new vintage ,antique amount new Mexican pottery its call THE STORES AND I WENT TWO DAYS IN A ROW FOUND ME SOME BEAUTIFUL THINGS IM SO GLAD WE HAVE A STORE LIKE THAT NOW😃🥰🦋🦋🦋🌻🌻🌻🐝
The ceramic bird is by the amazing artist Margaret Hudson. I think you would love her body of work. Her focus is animals just like our beloved Lisa Larson.
23:50 Italian here 🙋🏻♀😊 This is what I know about it: the "Friendship Cup" (Coppa dell'Amicizia) or Grolla Valdostana (Valdostana means that it comes from the Valle d'Aosta region) it's both a piece of craftsmanship and a convivial and friendly ritual of sharing. It's equipped with a variable number of spouts and you pour Coffe in it (made earlier with a classic Moka) then add Grappa and Genepì with sugar, I think. Sprinkle the spouts and the rim of the cup as well. Mix the coffee and let it rest for a few minutes. I think you should also light the fire to burn the alcool but I'm not completely sure about it. I need to study more 😅Pass the cup clockwise (someone would say the other way around though.....) in the group of friends. Don't put the cup on the table between one step and another. That's all I know, hope it helped a little. Ciao Laura! ☀🇮🇹
Wow! I just was watching your Italy tour on Jeffrey’s channel thinking I really needed to get my passport renewed so I could visit cousins in Northern Italy, when this Reno visit popped up. This is where I was born and where a lot of my family settled. There is a lot of history there and there was a lot of Italians that settled there. I’m surprised you did not find more Italian pottery. Yes, a lot of interesting people lived in Reno in the 40’s and 50’s. My mother had a lot of interesting stories (she worked as a bookkeeper for the Reno PD). It’s been a while since I was done there ( I live in your area) but now I will have to check out their thrift stores and maybe some pawn shops ( people pawn some interesting things to fund their gambling) too. Love your videos……keep them coming!
These places have been so jam packed with treasures. Must have been hard to keep to a schedule. I’ll bet you could’ve spent DAYS in Reno. What a lot of history in this Wild West place!
Reno for antiquing and thrifting-who knew?! Thanks for taking me along. Those Bitosi birds! I really enjoyed the groovy music that you chose for this video.
Your knowledge amazes me. I learn so much. I not only enjoy the hunt of the thrifting video, but I feel like I get a mini education so thank you for that. This was yet another great video Miss Laura!!
Wooooowwwwww, awesome 👌 findings. I can't stop saying WOW with every finds. Enjoy, you have the whole 🌎 in your car 🚗. With love from SAM Guwahati, Assam, India 🇮🇳 ♥️
I love a good road trip/thrift experience! My mom and I once traveled the back roads from Missouri to Utah and stopped at the garage sales. It was a blast!
Watched a video today where you asked if anyone was interested in a travel trip with you. Can’t find the video now but the answer is yes! My friend and I would love a trip to Japan!!!
Wonderful!! The Japan trip is live for booking and we have a handful of spots left. We just wrapped up our two group trips in Italy and we had the best time 🥰 Here is the link to the Japan trip trovatrip.com/trip/asia/japan/japan-with-laura-caldwell-apr-2024 We’ll be visiting antique shops and flea markets in the free time as a group for anyone who wants to join or you’ll be free to see other sites on your own. If you have any questions, please reach out to me at hello@leftcoastrevivals.com ❤️
I really enjoy your channel! I learn alot, feel like I shopping with you and appreciate your opinions on the beauty, prices and different possibilities of the pieces! I also really enjoyed the video that you did about the business side of selling your finds! Excellent!
At the timestamp 15:30 those those are borrow glass rods they are worth a pretty penny to the flame Work glassworker. Shoot, I wish I were there I would’ve bought those in a heartbeat.
I make cornbread regularly in my Cast iron cornbread pans. Probably not vintage but I don't remember where I got them. I've had then probably 40 years. 39:04 They are great with gumbo.
I just found you on TH-cam! I have loved every video. You have great taste and your creativity is spilling over. I love it! So happy to watch you have fun and you’ve made me take another look at pottery and art like I never have before! Thank you!!!
I used to watch Robin Leachs show all the time. I loved it. So far you have some amazing pieces and im so excited to see them together. You take tge ordinary and make it fabulous. Someone mentioned the volume of your videos. They can be loud sometimes just fyi.
The 'italian friendship cup' is common in the Savoie and Haut Savoie area. So, also in France. You typically drink hot coffee which has been spiked with alcohol out of it and pass it on to your neighbour around a big table
The beautiful blue painted glass vase looks like it was hand painted on white milk glass. You noted that there was an Italian stamp on it. The Italians, I believe, invented milk glass hundreds of years ago. Thanks for such a curated video. Loved it and can’t wait to see your finds from Italy!

PS you may want to check the volume level on your video- I had to turn mine up to full volume to hear you - then got blasted out with every commercial break.
I agree; you really have to struggle to hear her. 💙
It didn't do that on my TV. 🤔
I was watching from my phone, and the volume was fine for me.
Yes, those pieces fetch quite a price in the CA central valley
I had to turn my laptop up to 100 and them play with the speaker volume during commercials. Can't always be perfect.
Does anyone else check every day, for a new video from Laura???
Has anyone mentioned the volume of your videos? I wish you could turn it up. Love watching your finds, but I can barely hear you without turning my phone up to the highest point and then the ads blast my ears. Just a suggestion.
Same.
Agree
Agree
SAME!!
Thank you. I noticed it too!
The wooden Italian bowl is a “grolla” and you make a specific alcoholic drink in it and yes, you pass it around. It’s traditional of Aosta valley.
And a very good alcoholic drink i might add 😅
iT's called a Grolla, and yes, you fill it with some type of wine and pass it around. My parents owned one- it was gifted to them when they were visiting relatives in Italy
Thank you Laura! I’ve been in & out of the hospital for the past year, I miss thrifting & your videos make my heart happy
You're right about the Italian friendship cup! It's for friendship coffee! I found one for $15 a couple months ago at a thrift store. When I did my research I learned that friendship coffee is coffee with alcohol.😊
Laura please turn the volume up. Some of us are older. ❤️
Haha! I didn’t see a single penguin! I was so sad. I am the keeper of penguins! I only have 2 right now but if I find them for $20 or less, I get them. Anytime I take them to a get together, somebody comments they’d like one. I like to keep a backstock for 🎁!

There was a penguin cocktail shaker she pointed out when she found the monkey and bear and cockerel shakers x
Not a shaker. A West Bend insulated ice bucket.

I travel by myself and I think it would be fun to pick a destination just to go picking. Texas here I Come. You make it look fun
Me, too! It's the first think I think about now, and wish I'd done it years ago on previous trips.
Congratulations on the Bitossis! I'm supposed to be working but now I have thrifting on the mind.
I had to giggle because you had already signed off and there you were in another thrift shop. i'm glad you found the Betosis! They are so cute. And the Squash Blossom! Wow!
I can hear you perfectly! I love thrifting with you!!!
I literally just sit and wait each day for you to post and binge watch you until a new one comes!!😍
I know, right?!
Mmmk. I haven't even started watching it yet; I wanted to comment to say how excited I was to see that a new Laura Caldwell video was up **AND** it's 41 minutes long, toooo?!? ❤🙌🥰
Yes! Volume needs adjusting. I love that you found all the bowls.❤
I’m so amazed how you can remember all the designers’ names, details about the styles, and values! It’s so much knowledge/information to memorize!
I have never see fashion illustrations like that, they’re gorgeous
I love your videos, but I had a hard time hearing this one. I had my headphones turned up all the way and still struggled, and I don't have hearing issues.
I AGREE!!!
I COULDN'T HEAR HER, AND I THOUGHT IT WAS
MY PHONE!!!!!!
The “pokey” thing is a floral frog. Put in bottom of vase for flower stems. PS I can hear you just fine.
I really enjoy your videos! Jessie is very funny. I'm learning something new every time I watch!
Most of the items in my house came from flea market in Europe when we were stationed overseas 72-96.
i am amazed that you picked up three random pieces and they look like you planned it, your style shines through
Welcome to Reno! I've lived here for almost 3 years and hadn't been to all these stores - thanks for the tour!
That squash blossom necklace is stunning❗️😍
wow...the squash necklace is amazing!!!
Oh my gosh!!! I have been looking for a squash blossom necklace for about 3 years!!! I wish I could find one like that for 950!!!! Dang!
I get so excited when you have a new video! I get kind of hypnotized while watching all the great things you find. Not only are your videos fun, but they're also very educational.

😅
That cornear cornbread pan is all I have from my Big Momma/Mother! Yes, I have made cornbread sticks in it!🙏🏾💜🦋💛
Yummy!!!
Check the tire pressure with a loaded car
I've lived in Reno for 6 years and sometimes you will find some really good stuff in Goodwill as well! I wished I looked around more back then, but I am back home in Vegas now. I hope I can find a good deal on some art deco pieces / furniture.

Your thrifting adventures are GOALS!!!
I live in Reno and I didn't know there were so many thrift stores here, other than Goodwill and Junkie.
A few years back, I found a great St. Vincent de Paul thrift in Reno. Amazing clothing and prices.
Also, if you're ever in Winnemucca, you need to find the Frugal Flamingo.
The blossom necklace was Fab.
My hometown! Yay Reno!!! Yes, the volume is low. Love your creativity so much;)))
Does anyone else struggle to hear the videos?? I really miss hearing Laura's videos!.. all my volumes are at 100%.....any help out there?? Thanks!
Whoa a commercial just came on and it was loud!! suggestions??
If she records her sound louder than we won't have to have the volume turned up so high on our videos and get blasted when the constituents come on
Mine is turned down to about 1/4 and it’s just fine. :)
I've notice that in some videos the music is a bit Londres and anothers is just fine...I guess it varies from one ro another...
Yes, on the corn muffin pan , it was my 2nd great grandmother's..
It is in perfect condition and I yes, I do use it. I have family cast iron.
Among many other things .
Could you do a video on what to look for when looking for vintage jewelry? Thank you!
I see a lot of comments about the sound levels. Just wanted to say I watched the video first on my TV using my Roku device and the levels were fine. I watched it again on my iPad and definitely noticed the same problem others have mentioned. Maybe it's an issue between TH-cam and Apple devices?
I'm on a Samsung android phone and b bad to turn it way up to hear, then got blasted out with the ads. Watched it first on my television and levels were fine!
I think its a mic thing. Her sound is often a little thin sounding even if the volume is ok.

Yes there are some ducks that have a buff of feathers on their head. I found a hand carved wooden duck last month,
I use beautiful scarfs to design with . Love the colors and it makes everything pop
The ceramic bird is by the amazing artist Margaret Hudson. I think you would love her body of work. Her focus is animals just like our beloved Lisa Larson.
Ah! I clicked so fast when I saw you came to Reno! My favorite thrifter in my hometown. Now I know which stores to hit up this weekend 😉
OH my goodness....that yellow lady is spectacular. That painting would be so beautiful on my wall :)

I really look forward to your videos. They are fun, informative and you are a delight! 😍
Those wooden bowls I use to stack my pottery bowls. Sets them up nicely
You have willpower! After the good luck in your last store , I would be tempted to say “just one more!”
These places have been so jam packed with treasures. Must have been hard to keep to a schedule. I’ll bet you could’ve spent DAYS in Reno. What a lot of history in this Wild West place!
Yes, the cornbread turns out so yummy and the shape is fun with stew, chili etc. You've had a great day!
Reno for antiquing and thrifting-who knew?! Thanks for taking me along. Those Bitosi birds! I really enjoyed the groovy music that you chose for this video.
Yes please try to increase volume
Your knowledge amazes me. I learn so much. I not only enjoy the hunt of the thrifting video, but I feel like I get a mini education so thank you for that. This was yet another great video Miss Laura!!

OK, I have two vases at home. One small and the other large, depending on the size of the flowers.
Hi, Laura! What great finds you got at the Reno shops. Love the video! 🥰👍💜
I love a good road trip/thrift experience! My mom and I once traveled the back roads from Missouri to Utah and stopped at the garage sales. It was a blast!

It’s worth looking out for European linens,and ticking fabric they go for a lot of money
Your videos make me happy. 😊 I love to shop with you virtually.
I make cornbread regularly in my Cast iron cornbread pans. Probably not vintage but I don't remember where I got them. I've had then probably 40 years. 39:04 They are great with gumbo.
The plant stand with the snake heads are flowers. They are Snake head fritillary.
I just found you on TH-cam! I have loved every video. You have great taste and your creativity is spilling over. I love it! So happy to watch you have fun and you’ve made me take another look at pottery and art like I never have before! Thank you!!!
I would be too excited to sleep after so many great finds in one day.
LOVE the vintage oil painting! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛
I've made corn sticks in my Griswald pans. Heat them well before you fill them with batter. Thanks for reminding me, ...
Laura you have a good eye for Mid- century Vintage.💛👍👍👍
I’m drooling over all of your finds.
I enjoyed the video, first timer but, it's difficult to hear and watch at the same time. Can this issue be resolved, I would love to enjoy more
Wow great finds. 😊. Love shopping along with you.
As usual, such great fun! When you came upon all those Bitossi pheasants, I gasped for you. Dream score.
Love the painting, zebra planter, linen napkins, Italian vase❤
I agree with the lady about the sound- turn it up to hear you but when the ads come on, I just about jump out of my chair!!!
Wow they are beautiful Indian vintage earrings (jumka)❤
I have papers full of addresses of places to shop. I appreciate that you share that with us!
Looks like your Italy trip is going great. Can't wait for those videos😃 You always find amazing things. One day i'm gonna find a squash blossom😊
We are having an amazing time! Group 1 was Incredible! Group 2 arrives tomorrow 🥰
Me too…1 squash blossom plz
Yes, I love the cornbread corn stick pans and I have made cornbread in them!! 🌽🌻🌽
I used to watch Robin Leachs show all the time. I loved it. So far you have some amazing pieces and im so excited to see them together. You take tge ordinary and make it fabulous. Someone mentioned the volume of your videos. They can be loud sometimes just fyi.
I use the corn stick maker often, but I’m close to eighty years old. If you like cornbread with chili or soups it is great.
The 'italian friendship cup' is common in the Savoie and Haut Savoie area. So, also in France. You typically drink hot coffee which has been spiked with alcohol out of it and pass it on to your neighbour around a big table
It is called café de l'amitié
I LOVE the way you present yourself, your jewelry is so cool! ❤
the Navajo squash blossom necklace is actually traditionally worn by the man. It looks quite old.
Love the matchy matchy.
Drive safe God's will bless you 🙏.
Just love all the vintage things you pick up.
Hi Laura. Really enjoying your triffttig road trip. So much beautiful items it is amazing. Thank you for sharing.
The beautiful blue painted glass vase looks like it was hand painted on white milk glass. You noted that there was an Italian stamp on it. The Italians, I believe, invented milk glass hundreds of years ago. Thanks for such a curated video. Loved it and can’t wait to see your finds from Italy!
