Good morning friends! We are sharing today where Dave's favorite place is to buy antiques! Where is your favorite place?
#countrylife #countryliving #auction
Thank you for sharing some of your farm fresh finds! I enjoy the early primitive country pieces. When we started, we went to antique auctions. At that time we collected oak furniture. But over time we were drawn to the country painted furniture. I also like crocks/stoneware.
Now we find the better pieces at shows and at good malls and shops. We like the Ohio shows, we went to New England a few times, love shopping in New England!
For sure we are kindred spirits! Thanks for sharing your story and your kind words!
Here in upstate New York, primitives seem more plentiful and lots cheaper than what I see others find in other areas of the country. I’ve never paid more than $5 for a crock and that’s my 15 gallon that I use for a side table. Yard sales start here in May and go till early fall when it gets cold, local estate sales, church sales and driving around the night before our local trash pickup is where I found things for years. We live in a rural area, lots of very old farm homes and many times have found barrels, tables, old buckets and watering cans alongside the road with free signs on them. I bought three pieces of wrought iron early primitive candle lights yesterday for .75 for all three and an old watering can that was filling car radiators for $1. All of my old candle molds, firkins, grain boxes, old wooden bowls, treenware, etc have come from local estate sales and yard sales and don’t think I’ve paid more than $3 for any of them. The younger generation doesn’t seem to appreciate or want the old things so a plus for those of us who do🤎🤎🤎
I love your finds at those prices! It really is about the hunt and you do some great hunting! Thanks for sharing!
@@1824walkerfarmhouse it’s ironic as most people think that things are expensive in New York but after following a few favorite TH-cam channels with early primitive I’ve realized that our prices are so much less than any that I watch. We are five hours north of New York City and am pretty sure things downstate are far more expensive but not here and smalls are easy to find if you look.
That is ironic. I think there is bargains to be had everywhere. It's part of the hunt.
@@1824walkerfarmhouse and so much fun and exciting when you finally find that one thing you’ve been looking for!
We bought an historical home about 30 years ago..added on to it, was empty for 18 years. Nothing worked. We put money, love and needed some antiques. Went to quite a few antique shows in New England, stayed at a few b&bs which we loved, and got ideas. We also have cherry furniture. I love how it all looks together. When I look at certain pieces I remember those times, how much fun we had. I really enjoy your channel. You both are really interesting and really a cute couple. Ps, love your sweet little laugh🐣
It's so true how the things we have in our homes bring such good memories of finding them and the story that goes along with them. Thanks for sharing!
My style is turn of the century, our house is from that time period and lends itself well to the antiques of that time period. My favorite pieces are ones that are from my grandparents and great grandparents. My grandmother's hoosier, grandfather's old wooden farm equipment ❤. They give me so much pride to have them.
Oh Sara, you have an excellent point that we didn't mention. The wonderful antiques that were our ancestors! Thanks for commenting and following along!
Yes I have change , I was primitive with color especially blue . But then I went to an antique show and saw earlier England pieces and I love it !!! So I sold all my primitives and went to the pilgrim look!!! It’s hard now to find these pieces so most is on line for me !! But I love Dave’s candle holder !!!! That’s a keeper !!
We have changed a little here and there. I think it shows your personality as you go in life. Yes, we will keep the candle holder as it is one of Dave's favorites...but then again ...they are all Daves favorites, lol!
We use to go to auctions on a regular basis....it seems like it was a lot easier to get some really good scores in times past. Hands down, my favorite score is my 24" Amish rag doll with original blue calico dress....bought for $5. I'm seen comparable pieces in shops priced at $1500 and up. It was a happy, memorable day.
I love those kind of finds! Thanks for sharing!
I have collected antiques for 50+ yrs. Flea markets, antique shops, rummage sales, auctions, shows is where I would shop. Primitive things have not been abundant here in Wisconsin so have gone out of state also. Getting older has limited my buying a little, don't do auctions and flea markets much anymore due to bad knees. Don't rummage much but still like estate sales. Things are hard to find now and I don't really need anything. Happy to see the sheep, they look thinner without all their wool.
We don't need anything at all and it has to be a big bargain in order for us to buy anything anymore. I totally understand...Thanks for sharing.
I just love your channel, so wholesome, educational,& very rewarding! Love primitive antiques but they are very difficult to find here in central Wisconsin. If I lived on the East coast I'd probably be bankrupt!
Thanks so much for your kind words! I have a friend in Wisconsin that says the same as you that it's hard to find them there.
I enjoyed seeing your treasures and your candle holder is Beautiful as is your stove !!! I’ve changed some and have come to love primitives. So many places we’ve visited have closed which is sad. Auctions make me anxious - love to thrift . An area antique mall has lots of crafts and glass and what they do have thats good is way too expensive. It’s wonderful to see the season change and all it brings. Enjoy !!!
Thank you so much! Yes, many have closed around here too. I think mostly because of retirement. Thanks for commenting and sharing, enjoy your week!
I go to barn sales estate sales yrd sales auctions I love all things primitive the older the better lol y’all have amazing things 😊 oh & of course antique stores ❤ I love the hunt 😊
Yes, the hunt is the best!
Yes, I have changed my style at 73 years old. I am not able to find a lot in my area, mostly Antique Shops. You are lucky to have sales like that. Love this video where you show your antiques and where you found them, hope to see more of them. I especially liked the wood stove and the candle holder.
Thanks for sharing!!
Do you decorate your home that you live in early primitive and have you ever showed your home.? Very curious
I have a mixture in the home that we live in and perhaps that could be an entire video, thanks for the idea!
Primitive antiques are a rare find in Texas. Not many here. We go to RoundTop, Tx to shop for antiques. Dave got a deal on the candle holder, I have never seen one of those. My style has changed over the years but my favorite is Country antiques. I like primitive style too. I shop thrift store and flea markets.
I'm with you, Country antiques! Thanks for watching and commenting!
I love primitives. I have found them at antique stores and thrift stores. I found a primitive jelly cupboard. A goodwill for $18 and I was so excited.. It is the thrill of the hunt
Oh my goodness! That was a find!
Love your channel. Wish you still had your shop.
I have mobility issues, so I have to stay close to home to do our primitive shopping. There are a few small shows within an hour of us that we enjoy going to in central Indiana. I would love to go to some of the Ohio shows, but I’m just unable, you’ve shown some beautiful pieces today 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼♥️Prims!!!
I love washing Gabriella tour of the Ohio shows and I drove!!!
Thanks for sharing! Yes, we love our prims!
Watching not washing 😆 sorry
Will I love it all!! Antiques and Primitives! I will throw a few vintage pieces in also. I will buy them any there I can!! Flea Markets Estates Sale Yard Sale and Antique Store. I don’t do barn but my Husband will sift through all of the critters and dust and webs to find treasures for our home or our Booths. Thanks so much so sharing your love for the old things.😊
We love it all too, including the vintage items and advertising pieces like you have in your videos! We love your channel!
My style is early primitives. I buy from antique shops and flea markets, I've bought from the Nashville flea market . The hunt is so exciting!
Thanks for sharing! ...and you are so right...the hunt is so exciting!
I’m going to Cape Cod tomorrow and they have many antique stores along the way… I’m so excited to see what I will find 🎉 and I go to flea markets and tag sales too!!!
Have fun! One year Dave and I went along route 1 for 2 weeks...thank you for the wonderful memory!
I get my primitives from antique malls, my neighbors house who buys from the eastern US states, flea markets, rummage sales and estate sales. I love the thrill of the hunt! My styles have changed from country to victorian and now primitive because it is warm and cozy😊. I love wood pieces and crocks. I have a large blue dry sink which has started my primitive journey. Thank you for sharing your lovely finds. I enjoy your channel so much❤
Thank you for sharing! Thank you for your kind words too!
I have always found good buys at the fleatiques in Western PA. Now that I re-sell most go to the shop. Early in my marriage (40+) years ago I kept most of my finds for myself. I have always loved early pieces and changed up things throughout the years with better quality pieces. Although I do find some bargains at the antique shops, most are smalls that go to the shop. The really quality country pieces are pricey but now I am in a better position financially to make a purchase. I have bought several wonderful pieces at antique shows after careful negotiation. BTW every trip Hubby and I go on is sure to include a stop at an antique shop or two or three or how many every he can tolerate. HA
Of course all trips have to include antique stops! Thanks for sharing!
I love primitives, to me they seem to have a soul. However, I also like some mid century. I think ypu can blend the two. I used to go to auctions close to home. There are not as many these days. I don't get to shows but would love to. Your textiles are beautiful! I can't point ro a favorite item of mine but I do like old baskets and wish I could find redware. Love your videos.
I too love primitives but like yourself I mix things up with them. I think it makes our home more of our personality. Thank you for your kind words and sharing!
We drove cross country, from California to PA, and we stopped in antique shops just about everywhere we went and found some great things…two rocking horses in CA, candle molds in AZ, redware in New Mexico, hanging shelf in Ohio. Can’t forget the many, many shops we visited from Maine to FL, OH, MI. My uncle was an auctioneer so we got our first piece from him. And we can’t forget the many, many shows we went to in PA and Ohio. Not only did we make great purchases but we made even better memories with the many people we met and the friends we made….like Audrey and Dave!❤️😁
You're so sweet! You have the best point of it all! You meet so many nice people along the way and many become great friends like you and Dawson!
I was living in Colorado when I attended my first farm auction. and only had about $20 to spend. I found a huge cardboard box full of mostly junk, but it also contained a large wooden box which, upon lifting the lid, I found to be a marvelous old "Barteldes Seed Company" seed box with the beautiful lithographed label completely intact and marvelous. I was so excited I quickly snapped the lid down and was convinced EVERYONE would be bidding on this. When the bidding began, I started with 50 cents and I was so nervous, I kept outbidding myself in 50 cent increments! No one else was even bidding on it. I ended up paying $1.50 for that box, and still have it 40 years later. I still laugh every time I look at this box.
I love those Heinz firkins, I have never seen any like that; I collect the Heinz crocks with labels. I think Facebook Marketplace is a great place to find unusual antiques these days. Also, I can't tell you how many small treasures I find on Ebay; I just found a small toy wheelbarrow about 6 " long, 1920's, you would love it Audrey. We have the same taste.
Thank you for sharing! I too love your stories and suggestions. And yes, we are two peas in a pod!
I did my will a while ago i have an antique house all primitives i could not decide what to do.I cut way back buying a few years ago i like a very simple primitive look no junk . For some reason i feel calmer with that look. I kept thinking how much do i really need i have what i want. Could you talk about the brick paper in your fireplace Love the dry sink.
Thank you for sharing. I will talk about the fireplace and share as soon as I finish it, great idea! Thank you!
my father worked at the fish pier in boston everthing was in wooden boxes which they tossed out he took them home made wooden chairs like you bought for the yard also built a porch on our cottage with them i just saw a box for 180 on ebay////
I find alot at hole in the wall thrift store, the more junkie outside it looks the better. Estate sales,
I love a good estate sale, great point to bring up! Thanks for commenting!
I have been finding more antique primitive/country items in thrift stores in the last five years. And I am sure it is because as my generation ( I am in my seventies) is passing, the children and grandchildren are just getting rid of their parents “stuff”. They don’t value the same things and often do not know how to sell those items. It’s easier to utilize thrift stores. I have also noticed Victorian antiques are becoming popular again. Younger generations are using them in farmhouse style decor. However, they often paint, stencil, restyle the pieces we would never have touched, except with furniture wax. I see them in many antique/vintage malls. I enjoy malls, if they are not too large. Antique stores are still my favorite. I always check yard sales. Estate sales make me sad, so I avoid those. Of course, I am supposed to be getting rid of things. Who made that rule?😊
I love your sharing here! I agree, I am finding more in thrift shops and I too have the same theory as yourself as of why. Thanks for commenting and watching!
I live in Canada and it’s show season now. I’ve just discovered the Ohio shows this year. I’d like to do the Penns area this summer where do you suggest
Hi, You have a great question! You know Pennsylvania is a long state! Would you like Western Pa or Eastern Pa. Do you like early antiques? vintage? mostly primitives? You have my wheels spinning because I think us Pa folks need to get a list of shows for those that are coming out of town.
First!
yippee! Thank you for your support dear friends!
