Hi everyone! TH-cam is working on rolling out a new feature that will auto dub videos in different languages. I believe this will be a great feature that will help a lot of people find new content that might not be recorded in their primary language. However, it appears there’s been some issues with this feature, issues you may have experienced with my initial video upload last week. It appears that viewers that are watching via a smart TV have been having mixed results with different languages playing. This is not unique to my videos as other creator’s videos have also experienced this. I’ve uploaded this video with auto dubbing feature turned off and will do so until issues with smart TV’s are resolved. Please comment below if you’re having any language issues with this video. 💙Laura
It was so much fun to meet you at the Pop Up event a earlier this month. Just wondering, I'd heard that TH-cam was introducing a feature where viewers could make transcription suggestions when the closed-captioning gets it wrong. Have you heard this?
Did you notice you have the astrological sign Taurus and the other vase in the photo is Sagittarius? The plate Aries? There must've been an entire set.
About the prononciation of the designer Pierre Cardin, unfortunately the "in" sound doesn't exist in the English language. So when I don't know how to pronounce let say an Irish first name like " Caoimhe" I google "how to pronounce......." and you'll be able to hear the weird sound it's supposed to be. PS I've always been told that flour shouldn't be kept in a clear container unless it's stored in a dark cupboard or if you use it very quickly, otherwise you might get bad surprises when you're baking.
It cracks me up how far Jesse has come. He didn't want to be on camera at first. Now he cracks jokes, talks like a pro and does a fabulous job. Excellent job, Jesse!
Laura, this has been the best video! Shout out to Jesse and his find. Thank you for the videos over the years. I keep learning from you, and when you follow your heart, the pieces meant for you will gravitate to you.
Laura..I watch people like you not just because you go to awesome places and find unique treasures...but because you are authentically altruistic and have the desire to help others make great finds too. Leaving a Lalique piece behind so someone else can be excited was a true testament to that.
Not only do I love, love, love your videos but I particularly appreciate your attitude toward helping the vendors (ie. leaving the tray even though you paid full price) as well as leaving things for others to pick up and enjoy/profit from ( hello glass bowl from previous video). Class act Laura and Jesse!!! Very inspiring.
Laura, when I was new to you too about a year ago, you were one of the first people that I subscribed to. I’ve watched a lot of your past shows and they are very addicting. I knew you had something special going on and at the end of this video today, you prove me right. Hold onto that piece of pottery, knowing in your gut that it was special and had to be worth something was pretty spectacular. You’re a bad ass businesswoman and I know The sky is the limit when it comes to your talent and know how. My mother was a strong willed, and most importantly kind entrepreneur in her beloved chosen profession who saw all her dreams come true also. you remind me of her.
That means so much to me! Thank you for the kind words This actually made me tear up ❤️ Love that you see some of your mother in me. She sounds like a wonderful woman to look up to as a mother. I always say the sky isn’t even really a limit because who knows what wormholes might mean for travel across the universe someday 😂 Kidding but it sure is incredible what comes to life with a dream, hard work and optimism ❤️
This was one of her best videos...because of her words at the end that rang true and had that arrow to the ❤ effect on some of us. I've been thrifting 40+ years and it is true that you develop a radar for quality and sometimes don't realize it until you do the research. She has a good eye and a good heart.
Bee’s wax in clear would bring a great polish to those Raku pots if you want to make it looked a bit sheeny and less porous avoiding marks and stains… As a ceramicists that’s we would do, it would bring out those colours too… Try it on the bottom and see if you like it? 😊
I love that you leave things in the stores for other people! When I began thrifting for resale I often would just buy anything that I thought had value and it didn't feel as fulfilling. Now I always ask myself the question, "Would you have that piece in your home?" If the answer is no, I don't pick it up. And in the end, if the piece doesn't sell I'll be happy to keep it. Thank you for the video. Always learn and enjoy them. ~ Kris
The swivel armchair at 09:26 that you commented to be a new reproduction is a Swedese Happy Swing. It’s actually a high end Swedish design furniture designed by Roger Persson in 2003. A new one retails at 2000+ dollars. Lots of cool furniture in that store for sure! The Italian leather sofa was an amazing find!
Cardin = Car-dan. If you can leave off the final n and make the “dan” nasal, you’re doing even better. Btw, I have wanted to see you and Jesse do more styling competitions. I laughed so hard when you did the first one, I’ve been wanting more!
Love that phrase, wherever the road takes us, my late husband road a motorcycle, when asked where he was headed, he’d always say “ wherever the road takes me” Love you guys, always bring a fun ride👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻💗
You two are amazing. I love it when you pick together. Jesse is just a dear. How lucky that you found a man who likes shopping. My husband sits out in the parking lot honking the horn.
Laura the thick textured paint you like is called Impasto. It is done with a palette knife and is an old technique which became popular again in the 60s and 70s. Thank you for the interesting content in all your videos 👩🏻🎨
Loved this episode, especially the updates segment. My dad was a manufacturer’s representative for high end home decor lines (Daum, Sevres, Rosenthal, Lladro, danish pewter and teak lines, stainless steel flatware), all in the 60’s through 90’s. Because I helped him in his showroom, when I thrift, I can often pick out some great pieces that other buyers miss. I recently found a signed Daum vase for $2.99 at the Salvation Army! I agree with you that you have to look a lot to learn, and trusting your instincts is always good. Always learn from your videos and enjoy the thrill of the hunt with you and Jesse. Thanks again!
So amazing that you found a Rude Osolnik! He was a friend of my grandfather, and I remember meeting him once when I was a child (maybe in 1980 or 1981?). He had a studio in Berea, Kentucky. I remember how good it smelled - like fresh wood and stain. 😊
I admire your patience, 8 years is a long time to hold onto something that you aren’t 100% sure about but clearly your patience has paid off, I’m certainly no expert but holy moly, it sure looks like the real deal
I love the new ending sharing updates and stories! That pottery piece you held on to for 8 years trying to identify it was well worth it! Again, Laura and Jesse, this was a fantastic video showing all your lovely finds. This is hard work but you and Jesse make it seem easy and fun, along with all the trips you organize! I hope to go on one of these trips some day. Can’t wait to see what you bring to the next pop up event in February. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
When shopping with an Indian friend in a Rug Shop in Bengalor, India, the artisan owner kept pressuring me to buy. I finally said that I really appreciated the beauty and quality of the rugs but they just weren’t my style of decor. My Indian friend said that I said it so nicely and courteously. Just because it is valuable and beautiful doesn’t mean you have to get it. Youre right, Laura!
Hi Laura! You bought my great grandmother's dresser set with the 2 frames and tray from my friend Roxy's booth at Lighthouse Antiques! My great grandmother's name was Mabel Fain and she was quite a character!
Oh wow!! What a small world!! I can’t believe it! That’s so special ❤️ Was she selling them for you? Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment. I really love them!
@leftcoastrevivals I'm glad you love them. They are probably art deco 1920s. I had to empty my great aunt's house and let go of lots of family things. I just gave lots of things to Roxy for her to sell.
Love everything you do. You’ve been an inspiration and a wonderful teacher. After I saw your vid on your first Don Freedman tapestry I was hooked. Had to have one. Since then, you’ve been living rent free in my head. Thanks for all your hard work bringing us along every week. Your vibe is magical. Fan for life. Amanda in Seattle.
You have some Kentucky themes! Rude Osolnik taught woodworking at Berea College in KY. Good eye! The John Taylor pottery ruffled bowl is an early name for Louisville Stoneware, now Stoneware & Co. An older pottery company that’s still in production in my hometown Louisville, KY. Love your videos!
🎉 so excited wooden vase I commented on last week was indeed a Rude Olnick. Fun to realize my guilty obsession of watching thrift videos is actually a legitimate learning opportunity 😊
Best way to enjoy my Saturday morning coffee. I loved everything you found! This video was sooo good. So happy you finally identified the maker of that stunning piece of pottery. Wow, you have a lot of patience! Also love the museum piece you found to replace the one that was damaged. I also recently purchased a tiny museum piece of an ancient Cyprus ceramic horse from 600 b.c. Finally, keep the lion. It's amazing!
I went to a garage sale last weekend, everyone ignored the $20 teaset. I snapped it up and yesterday it sold for $300. It certainly does pay to know what you are looking at. My best score without knowing what I had(at the time) was a pink lotus Cathrineholm bowl for $2 which I bought because I love enamelware and pink. I still have that one.
i have been a fan of you for a pretty long time and have always appreciated how you share so much information and history. BUT……I love this channel SOOOOOO much with Jessie in videos!!!! Just takes your already fabulous channel to a whole other level!!!
Love the IDs at the end - for me that is half the fun - the research. I have one piece I've been holding onto for what feels like forever.... it's a redware plate with the most intricate florals attached. It reminds me of those old posters where the more you look the more you see. No signature and am still looking to find something about it. I'm very blessed - like you I get a gut feeling and so pick something up. More times than not I find it has big value. The thrill of the hunt! The best part of thrifting! Blessings!
I honestly don't know how you can bear to part with any of your cool finds. You've got an internal radar that's spot on every time. I really like the update portion of the video and I hope you'll be incorporating that more often. I love donkeys too and that little shiner will be so fun to wear!
Oh my gosh, you guys are soooo FUN! I love all your finds. Your excitement! and all your awesome knowledge, you guys have helped me recognize my style and I’m loving it. Honestly, I wish you all were on TH-cam 7 days a week, ok, you all do need a break. Lol If I lived in your area, I truly believe we would be friends, I sure hope, ok, I’m rambling enough, but you guys really are awesome, amazing and you truly enjoy what you do, I’m happy for you all and wish you guys continued success, thank you for everything. 🥰
Laura, you and Jesse are tireless! The effort and passion you put into thrifting, identifying, posting your videos and selling things must be so time consuming! Luckily you love it, and we love the journey with you! The toucan intrigued me because it took on the colors of whatever you had behind it. It could look different every day! Keep the lion. 😊
Really enjoyed the ending of the updates and identification! It was nice just to hear your personal stories added in. The value in that is immeasurable upon itself. Your joy and enthusiasm is always contagious.
I love the German Christmas markets. Growing up my mother bought us hand blown Christmas ornaments. We got to watch them blow them. I did the same for my daughter when she was Growing up. We moved stateside when she was 10 so she only has 10 for her tree. I kept mine in my hope chest and I kept hers in one until she was old enough to keep them.
I loved the new updates and identifications at the end of this video, and would love to see it become a recurring thing. You’re so much fun to watch, and I’ve really enjoyed seeing you thrift in some different places, like the Goodwill bins and all the Tacoma locations.
That was one of your best videos - enjoyed it start to finish! Love seeing Jesse more involved in your thrifting adventures. You have incredible chemistry.
Wow, truly loved this video. You did a wonderful job explaining how you identify and why you picked up certain pieces. Good pick up Jesse!!! Woot Woot!
8:22: i like that the 2 photoframes build a heart when you put them next to each other. One for the husband and the other for his wife. Before on the thray the things to remember their wedding.
🎶Precious and few are the moments we Toucans share Quiet and blue, like the sky, I'm hung over you And if I can't find my way back home, it just wouldn't be fair 'Cause precious and few are the moments we Toucans share🎶🦜🦜
As I wait patiently for your new videos I watch other pickers. I must say your channel is my absolute favourite. Your choices are so my style and I find myself yelling at the others who pass over the things I know u would grab instantly. 🤣🤣
Great episode, so many cool things! I actually learnt about Bitossi through your channel and jumped in my chair because I've had a blue lidded jar for years that turned out to be a Bitossi. Thanks for sharing all your knowledge! ❤
You are very sweet in how you explain things to people who have been critical of something you have done. Many You Tube content creators have lost their tact, but you are so pleasant and worth watching!
Love all the mystery finds solved! Glad to know I am not the only one who "just has a hunch" and holds onto things for years until it is solved! And, hooray for Jesse's first Bitossi! 🎉
Yay Jesse! Good instincts! I do love how the two of you learn from each other’s interests and actually listen and are interested. Y’all are the best! How I wish I wasn’t at the other side of the country from you. I have learned so much and am so grateful to find you, Laura. BTW… your videos has the very best music and is always perfection for all of your treasure seeking. Sending you both the very best of this Thanksgiving Season and wish y’all many blessings for the coming holiday season.
I have always liked the way you end your videos by staging your finds. The new addition is great, very interesting! And Jesse is definitely a fun feature!! Can’t wait for the next episode.
I wrote under the original post that the lion head is not French but from Marbell Stone Art from Belgium. They were a company in the seventies and eighties making popular and rather affordable figurines from Belgium sandstone.Those now vintage sculptures are for sale on second hand sites in Belgium, France and the Netherlands. The lion’s head is one of their larger productions and seems to be more rare, but there is an exact one in white on one of those sites for €175.
I can never complain that my Goodwill never has anything good anymore because you guys were practically in my neighborhood and found all those amazing pieces. And Jesse finding his first Bitossi for that price! Way to go Jesse!
at 44:48 ( please correct me if it’s marked silver) I’m pretty sure it’s a pewter cover of pottery or a glass jar that holds potpourri. Congratulations to Jesse for his fabulous find. great episode.
Laura, i would love to see you add art glass into your staging. I collect fenton, but just love the sparkles it adds. I have the dresser @13:49. Was my grandmas. Let husbands friend use the other 2 pieces, and he left them at his ex's when he moved out! 😢 Congrats on finding your Bitosi!
Yesss!!!! To the updates and identification!!! Loved this part so much! It's so helpful, and I know I for one (I'm sure others too) are sometimes left wondering about certain pieces you get that we aren't sure where they're from or the value of the piece! So please continue this part of your videos! As always I learn and love watching your videos sooo much!! ❤❤❤
French canadian from Quebec here 😊 Pierre (I think you know since one of your cat is named Jean-Pierre) but Pee-Air and Cardin : the CA you prononce like the CA in cadaver + add the french R. DIN is a litle tricky… think of the way you prononce the english word AND. Remove the D sound at the end and place it at the beginning. Hopefully it’ll make sense! 😂
I don't speak French, but I pronounce it Cardan, with the accent on the dan. Very popular in the 1980s and clearly remember it being pronounced that way.
Yes! the updates part of the video was great and keep 'em coming! Also my favorite part of thrifting is to come home and thoroughly research a piece I have found. Sometimes there are great wins and sometime not, but the knowledge gained is always worth the price of the item. Loved this video and of course your studio haul and styling are also fun and informative! Thanks Laura for all you do to educate and entertain us with your fantastic finds!! I'm still hoping to find my first Bitossi in the wild. Never give up!
Your impeccable eye never ceases to amaze me! You are the embodiment of thrifting and reselling goals. Love the updates segment at the end of this video! And congrats to Jesse on his Bitossi!
Hi. I am new and subscribed today. I love your videos and appreciate your staging/decorating talent. You are 100% right in the 8 year wait on the pottery/artist of the bull vase...there is no question...it's a Bohrod and Ball. Your search is over...time for the next mystery!
I held on to a block print for several years of farm workers entitled The Reapers. I could never identify the artist. About 2 weeks ago I was finally able to identify the artist, who' s prints sell in the $200- 300 range, and who's oil paintings sell in the thousands. Sold it for $125.00 with imperfections.
Love your videos. I have just recently started looking at ceramics in Goodwill. They have them above the clothes racks in my Goodwill stores. I recently found a Vintage Adam Ceramics USA piece. It really pays to search online while at thrift stores or goodwill. You can get some amazing deals! It seems like you find a lot of great deals every time you go out in Washington State! I find things frequently here in Florida, but certainly not as often as you do. 😊
Hi everyone! TH-cam is working on rolling out a new feature that will auto dub videos in different languages.

@leftcoastrevivals google: frederick carlton ball Rhodes and scroll down the images. There's two photos of a bull on a cup or vase

I love that Jesse is thrifting with you so often now. Always enjoyed your videos together, so enjoyable!
I was curious if he has become a full timer (which is awesome!) along with Laura..especially since they travel so much now
Couples who thrift together stay together! 😁🩷🩷
I love when they thrift together! I wanna go with them!!!!
I like the updates and identification on items part a lot.
Me too!!
Me three..I like to know history behind items
Me four
I LOVE the new end portion on identifying.
me too!
YES! More videos like this please!
Laura, this has been the best video! Shout out to Jesse and his find. Thank you for the videos over the years. I keep learning from you, and when you follow your heart, the pieces meant for you will gravitate to you.

Class act Laura and Jesse!!! Very inspiring.
Thank you! So many amazing hardworking people in this industry to support 🙌
Keep the lion, Laura! Making money is important, but it is also valuable to know that; we make money to acquire beautiful things that we love!
I agree. Some items I find I have to keep it because they make my heart happy.
100% agree with this
I second this! Part of treasure hunting is finding joy in the items :)
Laura, when I was new to you too about a year ago, you were one of the first people that I subscribed to. I’ve watched a lot of your past shows and they are very addicting.

That pin is a rabbit holding an Easter egg.
That's what I thought too.
Eggzactly!@@anniesimone
Yes!
I thought it was a Wabbit as well! A wascally wabbit! 😆
I love that you leave things in the stores for other people! When I began thrifting for resale I often would just buy anything that I thought had value and it didn't feel as fulfilling. Now I always ask myself the question, "Would you have that piece in your home?" If the answer is no, I don't pick it up. And in the end, if the piece doesn't sell I'll be happy to keep it.

So much yes to this!! I ask myself the same question!

I love that he shops with her at every thrift store. My husband goes in with me and lets me look for 10 minutes!! 😅 and out he takes me.
Does anyone else talk to Laura and Jessie while watching the video like you are actually there shopping with them? Or… is that just me 🤔🤔😂
Laura the thick textured paint you like is called Impasto. It is done with a palette knife and is an old technique which became popular again in the 60s and 70s. Thank you for the interesting content in all your videos 👩🏻🎨
I love the impasto from the 1960's so gloppy, gloopy.
Fascinating!
I loved the story about identifying the beautiful vase from a random image match! It is definitely a match.
Loved this episode, especially the updates segment.
My dad was a manufacturer’s representative for high end home decor lines (Daum, Sevres, Rosenthal, Lladro, danish pewter and teak lines, stainless steel flatware), all in the 60’s through 90’s.
Because I helped him in his showroom, when I thrift, I can often pick out some great pieces that other buyers miss.

I agree with you that you have to look a lot to learn, and trusting your instincts is always good.
Always learn from your videos and enjoy the thrill of the hunt with you and Jesse. Thanks again!
Love the “Chat” at the end!! The whole video was absolutely amazing!!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!! 😄
So amazing that you found a Rude Osolnik! He was a friend of my grandfather, and I remember meeting him once when I was a child (maybe in 1980 or 1981?). He had a studio in Berea, Kentucky. I remember how good it smelled - like fresh wood and stain. 😊
What a lovely memory!
I admire your patience, 8 years is a long time to hold onto something that you aren’t 100% sure about but clearly your patience has paid off, I’m certainly no expert but holy moly, it sure looks like the real deal
The pottery bowl with the depiction of the woman is stunning. All the yes! ❤
It's Eve with apples! Absolutely love it.
Such a great couple. Love that count of how many bitosi’s each has found for the day. Hilarious. Thank you for sharing.
I love the new ending sharing updates and stories! That pottery piece you held on to for 8 years trying to identify it was well worth it! Again, Laura and Jesse, this was a fantastic video showing all your lovely finds. This is hard work but you and Jesse make it seem easy and fun, along with all the trips you organize! I hope to go on one of these trips some day. Can’t wait to see what you bring to the next pop up event in February. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

@@nlbhaduri yes! I love BANGALORE!
Laura, I love that you never pine for the over expensive things and that you always find beauty and the lightly priced items ❤happy Thanksgiving❤🦃
Hi Laura! You bought my great grandmother's dresser set with the 2 frames and tray from my friend Roxy's booth at Lighthouse Antiques! My great grandmother's name was Mabel Fain and she was quite a character!

What's most attractive about that art is the movement.

I watch these for Jesse. His personality is the best.
🎉 so excited wooden vase I commented on last week was indeed a Rude Olnick. Fun to realize my guilty obsession of watching thrift videos is actually a legitimate learning opportunity 😊
I’m not into your style at all, but I love watching your videos. You guys are absolutely fun and you know your stuff.❤

Great idea having an update at the end! And your Christmas trip to Europe looks like such fun.
I think the silver pin looks like a rabbit with an Easter egg. Love your videos, I learn so much from them!
I agree 100%! My mom used to have an almost identical brooch when she was a school teacher & she always wore it at Easter time
Love the Updates and ID section at the end, please keep doing it!
I honestly don't know how you can bear to part with any of your cool finds. You've got an internal radar that's spot on every time. I really like the update portion of the video and I hope you'll be incorporating that more often. I love donkeys too and that little shiner will be so fun to wear!

If I lived in your area, I truly believe we would be friends, I sure hope, ok, I’m rambling enough, but you guys really are awesome, amazing and you truly enjoy what you do, I’m happy for you all and wish you guys continued success, thank you for everything. 🥰
Laura, you and Jesse are tireless! The effort and passion you put into thrifting, identifying, posting your videos and selling things must be so time consuming! Luckily you love it, and we love the journey with you!
The toucan intrigued me because it took on the colors of whatever you had behind it. It could look different every day!
Keep the lion. 😊
Really enjoyed the ending of the updates and identification! It was nice just to hear your personal stories added in. The value in that is immeasurable upon itself. Your joy and enthusiasm is always contagious.
I love the German Christmas markets. Growing up my mother bought us hand blown Christmas ornaments. We got to watch them blow them. I did the same for my daughter when she was Growing up. We moved stateside when she was 10 so she only has 10 for her tree. I kept mine in my hope chest and I kept hers in one until she was old enough to keep them.
I loved the new updates and identifications at the end of this video, and would love to see it become a recurring thing. You’re so much fun to watch, and I’ve really enjoyed seeing you thrift in some different places, like the Goodwill bins and all the Tacoma locations.
I like that you buy items for your own use, and then show how you use them
You are our very favorite pickers!!!! We have learned so much from you. Thank you. Plus Congrats Jesse on your special find!!! 🎉🎉🎉 It was epic. ❤
That was one of your best videos - enjoyed it start to finish! Love seeing Jesse more involved in your thrifting adventures. You have incredible chemistry.
I believe the floral pottery by Taylor was made right here in Louisville, Ky. He preceded Louisville Stoneware.
Wow, truly loved this video. You did a wonderful job explaining how you identify and why you picked up certain pieces. Good pick up Jesse!!! Woot Woot!
8:22: i like that the 2 photoframes build a heart when you put them next to each other. One for the husband and the other for his wife. Before on the thray the things to remember their wedding.
It's great that your husband goes shopping with you. Happy for you. Love this video😊😊😊
you do an awesome job sharing! i resell clothing but enjoy watching your adventures..both of you!
🎶Precious and few are the moments we Toucans share
Quiet and blue, like the sky, I'm hung over you
And if I can't find my way back home, it just wouldn't be fair
'Cause precious and few are the moments we Toucans share🎶🦜🦜
That is halarious..I remember that song..😅😅
❤❤😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
LOVE the colorful still life with the pineapple and Jesse's 1970s silkscreen shirt!ha
It’s too good 😂
Could it possibly be Gloria Vanderbilt when she was young? Thus the swan image.@@leftcoastrevivals
As I wait patiently for your new videos I watch other pickers. I must say your channel is my absolute favourite. Your choices are so my style and I find myself yelling at the others who pass over the things I know u would grab instantly. 🤣🤣
The “Lady Bowl” that you found as you were leaving… I believe it is a depiction of “Eve” and two green apples 🍏
This, by far is my FAVORITE video you have done! By far!!!❤️
Great episode, so many cool things! I actually learnt about Bitossi through your channel and jumped in my chair because I've had a blue lidded jar for years that turned out to be a Bitossi. Thanks for sharing all your knowledge! ❤
I discovered I had a Bitossi ashtray from watching Laura ! I picked it up for $1 at a yardsale years ago. I'd been
using it for a jewelry trinket dish
Great job Jess..I think she's rubbin off on ya..ya think?
You are very sweet in how you explain things to people who have been critical of something you have done. Many You Tube content creators have lost their tact, but you are so pleasant and worth watching!
Love all the mystery finds solved! Glad to know I am not the only one who "just has a hunch" and holds onto things for years until it is solved! And, hooray for Jesse's first Bitossi! 🎉
Yay Jesse! Good instincts! I do love how the two of you learn from each other’s interests and actually listen and are interested. Y’all are the best! How I wish I wasn’t at the other side of the country from you. I have learned so much and am so grateful to find you, Laura. BTW… your videos has the very best music and is always perfection for all of your treasure seeking. Sending you both the very best of this Thanksgiving Season and wish y’all many blessings for the coming holiday season.
The Christmas markets and the fests the rest of the year were so much fun.😊
I have always liked the way you end your videos by staging your finds. The new addition is great, very interesting! And Jesse is definitely a fun feature!! Can’t wait for the next episode.
I wrote under the original post that the lion head is not French but from Marbell Stone Art from Belgium. They were a company in the seventies and eighties making popular and rather affordable figurines from Belgium sandstone.Those now vintage sculptures are for sale on second hand sites in Belgium, France and the Netherlands. The lion’s head is one of their larger productions and seems to be more rare, but there is an exact one in white on one of those sites for €175.
The paintings & the carved toucan are my favorite. I love the extra texture as well. Congrats, Jesse!!
Yes, love the toucan, whether it’s valuable or not…
Beautiful Bull vase! Glad you hung on to it. Thanks
I love the new updates & identification section!!! Thank you for the follow up.
So happy for Jesse and his Bitosi. Really liked the ID video.
I love the Update and Identification at the end of the video!
I just want the art deco lion. He's breathtaking 😍
Great episode! Love the updates and identifications . ❤
John B. Taylor worked at Louisville Stoneware here in Louisville, Kentucky. That bowl is 1970's
Always look forward to your videos, Laura! I do enjoy the updates in your videos. Please continue!
Absolutely love following you both! This video was one of my favorites! I love thrifting and I have learned so much from watching. Thank you!
KEEP the black lion head! It is stunning! You will have sellers remorse if you get rid of it. And the chances of you finding another one are slim
I can never complain that my Goodwill never has anything good anymore because you guys were practically in my neighborhood and found all those amazing pieces. And Jesse finding his first Bitossi for that price! Way to go Jesse!
at 44:48 ( please correct me if it’s marked silver) I’m pretty sure it’s a pewter cover of pottery or a glass jar that holds potpourri. Congratulations to Jesse for his fabulous find. great episode.
Laura, i would love to see you add art glass into your staging. I collect fenton, but just love the sparkles it adds. I have the dresser @13:49. Was my grandmas. Let husbands friend use the other 2 pieces, and he left them at his ex's when he moved out! 😢 Congrats on finding your Bitosi!
Yesss!!!! To the updates and identification!!! Loved this part so much! It's so helpful, and I know I for one (I'm sure others too) are sometimes left wondering about certain pieces you get that we aren't sure where they're from or the value of the piece! So please continue this part of your videos! As always I learn and love watching your videos sooo much!! ❤❤❤
I just refinished a dresser like that one in the restore!
French canadian from Quebec here 😊 Pierre (I think you know since one of your cat is named Jean-Pierre) but Pee-Air and Cardin : the CA you prononce like the CA in cadaver + add the french R. DIN is a litle tricky… think of the way you prononce the english word AND. Remove the D sound at the end and place it at the beginning. Hopefully it’ll make sense! 😂
In, ain, ein sounds doesn't exist in the English language.
I don't speak French, but I pronounce it Cardan, with the accent on the dan. Very popular in the 1980s and clearly remember it being pronounced that way.
Yes! the updates part of the video was great and keep 'em coming! Also my favorite part of thrifting is to come home and thoroughly research a piece I have found. Sometimes there are great wins and sometime not, but the knowledge gained is always worth the price of the item. Loved this video and of course your studio haul and styling are also fun and informative! Thanks Laura for all you do to educate and entertain us with your fantastic finds!! I'm still hoping to find my first Bitossi in the wild. Never give up!
This is a great example of what Malcolm Gladwell wrote about in his book "Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking" aka...trusting your gut!
John B Taylor stoneware originated in Louisville, Ky. He sold his company and is now Louisville Stoneware. You found a nice piece,
I would not be selling the Lion. Keep it. It is a majestic piece of art. 🤩
Your impeccable eye never ceases to amaze me! You are the embodiment of thrifting and reselling goals. Love the updates segment at the end of this video!
And congrats to Jesse on his Bitossi!
Very enjoyable episode. I love learning about items, so I say keep educating us!
This was great. Love how much fun Y'all have together. I love the ending of identifying details on a piece.
Absolutely love the updates ,such a great adventure. Definitely my favorite gatherer lol to follow ❤.
Hi. I am new and subscribed today. I love your videos and appreciate your staging/decorating talent. You are 100% right in the 8 year wait on the pottery/artist of the bull vase...there is no question...it's a Bohrod and Ball. Your search is over...time for the next mystery!
Paint laid on thickly is called ‘impasto’
Yes! I was hoping someone would leave a comment about that. I love it, too!
I held on to a block print for several years of farm workers entitled The Reapers. I could never identify the artist. About 2 weeks ago I was finally able to identify the artist, who' s prints sell in the $200- 300 range, and who's oil paintings sell in the thousands. Sold it for $125.00 with imperfections.
Love your videos. I have just recently started looking at ceramics in Goodwill. They have them above the clothes racks in my Goodwill stores. I recently found a Vintage Adam Ceramics USA piece. It really pays to search online while at thrift stores or goodwill. You can get some amazing deals! It seems like you find a lot of great deals every time you go out in Washington State! I find things frequently here in Florida, but certainly not as often as you do. 😊
So many great ideas! Definitely doing the jam jars and soaps! Thanks again for giving me inspiration ❤
What a lovely video. And bravo to Jesse on his first Bitosi. Love the updates on past purchases. ❤️❤️❤️
Your opening video is perfect. The places, the happiness, the items and even the music.
Well done.
