When I saw the "forbidden fruit " bottle, my eyes instantly became teary. My father brought 2 bottles of it while on a short road trip when I was about 7-8 years old. Said would open it when myself and my sister were 21. I was 71 in September, they are still in my parent's cupboard.
I have a similar bottle. My brother bought a bottle of whiskey from his regiment and I bought one from the British base here in Canada. We were going to open them at our weddings. He got married last year and we didn't open it.
I know you often say "let me know if you guys think this idea I have is a good idea for a video", let me save you some time- if it comes into your brain, WE WANT TO SEE IT!!! You never have bad ideas, every single video you do blows me away!!!
@@DIYDanie of course ❤️ that was such a unique and cool haul. I found an oil lamp that was converted to an electric lamp at a bowling green flea market so when I saw you pull yours out I was sooo excited!!! You have a fantastic eye!! 💯💯
I love it! Some of the jars could also store potion "ingredients" maybe from the magical potter world. I also love storing pretty little things like rocks and crystals in beautiful jars and bottles
@@marshawargo7238 this was what I was thinking as well. Infused vinegar or oil with lavender or another herb. Dried flowers or tea leaves. Replicated ingredients from story books (truth serum, unicorn blood, Felix felicis etc.
The black fireproof box is what’s known as a Deed Box. They were originally fashioned to hold the deeds to your land and home/property, and any other important documents you wouldn’t want damaged, such as your birth and marriage certificates, hence why the box is designed to be indestructible. Old fashioned deeds used to be large and beautifully illustrated- not the A4 printouts we, or rather our solicitors, get now. Love your haul Danie! 💕
As a rare book librarian, I call tell you.... sometimes....1 single old book break our entire budget. The Cottage Physician is currently worth about $100 CAD. Online you can find it for $79 US or more. Hold on to it!
@@KelseyDrummer Undergrad in whatever (I did English), then 2 years Masters in Library Science (they are often called iSchool), and while working on that trying to get work in libraries working with rare books. In Toronto there's a program you can take mixed with library school called Book History and Print Culture where you learn to work with rare books and manuscripts. If you wanted to repair and conserve them, there's a conservation program more akin to art which teaches you how to apply chemicals etc. to restore art and old books (Queen's has one of those programs)
@@InfiniteText Just curious and you don't have to answer of course but do you get paid well for this type of work? Or is it one of those under-appreciated and underpaid jobs that people take because they're passionate about whatever the job is?
@@striketochill depends where you get hired. Universities consider librarians faculty and the public library has a strong union. Once a librarian gets hired full time at one of these places the pay is good. It is difficult getting there though as it is highly competitive.
My father was a pharmacist...I have so many old antique bottles, labeled in gold with the writing in Latin. I have an old scale where they used to weigh the ingredients before compounding and mixing. Most of the items are over 200 years old. He 'inherited' them with the pharmacy he bought a long time ago. They were simply stored in the attic!
Love this video. I’m 72 years old and in my next life I’m coming back as a person just like you. Not afraid to try. I LOVE your sense of adventure and your style. And your love cobalt blue. My fav. You are my alter ego. You remind me of my niece Katie. Keep on DIYing and I’ll keep watchin.
The last item looks like a lid of a chest, one of those chests that used to hold guns when transported. It has extra pieces of wood to make it heavier so that it doesn't fly off, potentially causing harm to whatever is in the chest.
if you are looking for a nerdy antique thing to collect and display, buy a few pieces of uranium glass. you picked up a piece early in the video.. they are a pretty green color glass. but if you put a black light on them, they glow.
Re: Potions, Now is the time to be harvesting black walnuts to make ink with, if you have access to a walnut tree. Which would be a potion that could actually be used later in a project.
Great haul! I recently was in San Francisco and thought thrifting would be fun. I was not disappointed. I too love old books and found a set of ten tiny, 3”x4”, complete works of Shakespeare. They are dated 1887 and have an inscription hand scripted in that beautiful cursive of the day, from the person gifting them to a friend. How cool is that? I just love that when I touch them I can feel the spirit of every person who ever opened the cover. I love the smell of vintageness (if such a word exists). The even sweeter part? They only cost $.75 a piece. So for a whopping $7.50, I bought all ten of the treasures. And I love that you treasure things like that. Love, love, love your videos.
OMG The first "shop with me" I ever enjoyed.Your finds, all of them, are exactly what I would love to find. Woman, I love peculiar stuff. Your taste and mine coincide! I would never miss an episode. *You* spark joy!
I started watching your channel when I was diagnosed with cancer/bed rest years ago and Every Video is great! Always!! Now I get reminded by my kids it’s diy catch up night. Family of 5 fans here lol 😂
I come for Danie, it’s SaturDanie DIY, I stay to see what she does next. It’s always the best day of the week. She never disappoints either. She braves all things epic. I love chambourg liquor
Heeeyyyy a video idea.. may feel useless.. but the act you showed from the book..can u do a series of episodes showing the remedies in a funny way. I would love it so much. The dramatics of this was awesome.
Hi Danie! For the cottage physician book, make sure you place it where it doesn't get any direct sunlight. Blue pigments are very light sensitive, and in book covers they will fade quickly over time. (source: I'm a book conservator working in libraries and see this all the time :) ).
She takes off the dogie's head and says: "Adorable" But, seriously now... That first place Orono was awesome! Actually, all of them were awesome. Your finds were out of this world!!!! 💖
Hi. That was fun !! Now I want to go on a treasure hunt ... When I first got married my husband got me the goat and horse, they are real creative and conversation pieces. The dog bank is a Boxer ..the copper pieces my mom would love, the details are gorgeous , you've got great taste and are so much fun to watch , stay Goofy, love you girl !!
I loved the apothecary stuff, my butler's pantry has been opened up in a old Queen Anne Victorian and has been designed to look like a turn of the century pharmacy and apothecary store, well some say it looks more like a witch's kitchen spot. with pots of herbs growing and old bottle and jars and other pretty little things and forest finds.. lol.. it also had a larder so the butler's pantry wasn't needed for storage.
The fireproof box is called a deed box, I have one too but mine is a great deal smaller. The lamp is beautiful and will look stunning with a clear filament bulb in. You bought so many cool finds and I look forward to spotting them around your beautiful home xx
Danie I'm not sure I can forgive your editor for that "Se7en" reference ("What's in the booox!!!"); I saw the movie ONCE a decade ago and this reference to that scene punched me in the gut lol anyway I'M SO GLAD YOUR BOX WAS EMPTY 😅🤣
Given that it's a converted oil lamp, I'd actually put a flame shaped bulb in there instead. Edison bulbs are great and I have them too but it's good to mix it up, I think. A flicker flame bulb, even.
Orono Antiques? Wow I am 30 minutes from there and did not know of this place. ROAD TRIP!!!! Love all the treasures, particularly the book. Would also like to see a video of what changes you make to the items.
The first bottle is a liqueur bottle, for something called chambourd. You can still get it but the company changed the bottle a few years ago. The liqueur is actually a purple/red colour & mixes wonderfully with prosecco.
My fiance purchased a bottle and while it's really pretty to look at, it tastes a smidge like cough syrup to me. I will have to try the prosecco suggestion!
Watching your channel is a soothing to me as watching the Great British bake Off. And since you're adding things to your apothecary I want you to know that I have a cool trick that works every time. Instead of filling your bottles with dyed liquid which eventually will create a layer of sediment when the die separates out, fill your containers with homemade slime. The color is vibrant anyone who picks it up is super horrified by how it moves, and if it dries out completely it's still looks bizarre which is a selling point!
Love your videos. I live in England and we're not that posh 😂 we pronounce it staf-erd-sheer even though it's written Staffordshire 😆 don't even get me started on places like postwick 🤣🤦♀️
Was at my daughters house helping her decorate the guest Bathroom, she painted a dark dark teal gorgeous anyways went to the antique mall to find one brass piece that we needed for a Shelf, I needed something about 6-7 inches tall.Found a 7 inch tall brass dog meditating. Love it ...8 bucks !
Can't to the comments to see if anyone knew what that last item was. No luck. This is what I get for watching your videos as soon as they go up 😂 pretty sure you should tell us what you learn in a future video!
My guess for your wooden object is that it is the mold for sand casting a cast iron grate. With the sides attached it would be filled with casting sand, a top attached and flipped over. The wooden mold would be removed and molten iron would be poured in to the form.
It’s always the old Apothecary Bottles for me. It comes with years of work in a Compounding Pharmacy. Check your local Rx for discarded Amber bottles. 👍🏽
I made potions here recently I used vodka and food coloring then added luster dust you can only shake them once to change the color but the luster dust makes it look magical
I have a “ small” collection of the cast iron banks, a Santa, a mailbox, an owl, a few dogs and cats, a clown that sits on top of a circus ball (creepy!) a snowman. The list goes on, but I love them. Great video, love going to antique/thrift stores.
If you're going to use the fireproof heavy black box for important, hard-or-impossible-to-replace documents, please make sure they are sealed in something waterproof too! If they're protected from a fire but then not protected from whatever is used to put the fire out, what is the point? x'D You might also be able to DIY your own rubbery seal for the box itself. It looks like it latches pretty tight, but "pretty tight" and "waterproof" are very different things when it comes to important docs. That said, the easier solution is just to use storage bags like ziploc, which as a bonus can be used to group like documents (and labeled, of course).
Loved the haul. I especially loved the converted lamp, it was so beautiful and perfect for your new kitchen! It would look even more amazing and vintage if you put an Edison bulb in it. Have a great day!
so much joy to see you again Danie. You bring me smile, laugh and joy. I adore what you do. I love building stuffs too ! The week is better when I can get to see your new video. Thank you ! you're great !
OMG This was a video I didn't know I needed. It's been 2 years since I've been able to go 'junking' with my aunt (her word for thrifting lol) and this just gave me so many feels. Those amazing arched wooden frames in the 3rd place looked so whimsical! I love cottage country ontario for its junking treasures :P
What I like about your house so far is that any of your items could in any room that you’ve touched. Your down the road rearranging refreshes are going to be so effortless. Seamless but distinct flavors all in one place.
Wow, I was just scrolling through the comments... So many wonderful people, with such interesting and kind things to say. It was so much fun going through the comments. Look what you did to us, Dannie!
I love old bottles! I have a big collection going. The ones that were clear but have turned lavender are my favorites. Would love to see more of you antiquing and finding quirky finds and then maybe flipping them.
I love this video! Would love more of this antique shopping/thrifting content. 'The Cottage Physician' is truly the perfect book for your apothecary. And I am super excited for potion brewing!
This was a great vlog, one out of the usual diy but welcomed none the less. The first shop was massive and love all the cutie things you bought. I'm all excited about what the project next week will be. Hey Jess. Shout out to the best friend. Thanks for sharing.
Totally nerding out cause your local and I've been to all those places and love them . There also is old church in fraserville that was converted to a antique shop. If you need a break from your place feel free to fix my place up 😆
The only thing I can think off is that last piece was a lid for a handmade trunk. They used heavier lids to protect the storing of tools and weapons. The “slats” could be a way of preventing the item from being used as a seat. Are there and holes to suggest it once had hinges or a lock? If it was made for a home and not travel the lids wouldn’t necessarily need to be attached to the bottom piece. But the labeling confounds me. They did often label boxes in the military but then this wouldn’t be handmade. At first I thought it was a printers storage system but there would be no reason to make it so heavy. Are there any nails that can help you date it? Either way you got some really unusual and very cool items. Please do potion mixing, and I need advice from the book for sinusitis. I’m sure the cure would work! 😁💕
I am absolutely loving this video! My favourite "pick me up" or chill weekend activity is going thrifting or antiquing. That Cottage Physician book is amazing! It was great to follow you around and see what you snagged, nice to see you get a bit of a break from all the hard work you've been doing too!
Danie what a great video and from the comments you have bought back a lot of memories for people . I love that you find joy in preloaded items . Thankyou for sharing ps I would have bought the rose water bottle too it’s lovely 😊
Great finds!!! Favorite item: copper stuff (maybe -- but liked it all). That last heavy thingy would make a great top to a bench. You've got a great eye for Danie Things -- they all look like stuff Danie would buy. Thanks for this diversion = loved it. :)
Can I just say how incredible you look with the turtleneck? I mean you look sassy yet mysterious. Today’s look - you nailed it! God I wish I could meet you! You’re my soul sister! 😍
Thanks for this awesome video !! I love pretty much everything you picked and it was so pleasant to watch. 😍 (the book is just incredibly beautiful 🤩) Please do more of these if you feel like it ! And if you want to show us how to clean the copper pieces without damaging them, that would be interesting as well ! 😊
Love the liqueur bottle though I hate that you plan to ditch the crown top, it's very fairytale. And, the bitters bottle is AWESOME. The book is a great find.
I Like the idea of the "Crown on Top the Bottle, as well ,as that' Speaks" English Royalty @ the House of England" ... please Don't remove it !!! That's so Cool !!
Thrift shops have suffered greatly in my community, very sad. So many of the smaller privately owned ones have closed down eliminating those wonderful strips of thrift shops. Again, just very sad for us treasure hunters and especially for those who really depend on these second hand stores to dress themselves and their family.
You can find cool ephemera online for your bottles. I purchased some extremely old unused medicine labels to use. I do mixed art, and paint, among other things. The blue bottles are pretty old too.
Love the bottles you found and love the medicine book, but my favorite is probably the blue lamp! That is so pretty! If I go looking these days, it is for things like oil lamps, bread boxes, manual kitchen gadgets and textiles. Glad you took a break and got to enjoy the shopping! Will love seeing how you style things.

My late grandmother had ' The Women's Handbook', a thick book published in 1950s had all sorts of scary home remedies and included diagrams much like your physician's book.
OMG! That Orono Antique Marking used to be my dance studio! My old teacher must have sold it 15 years ago. I knew it had been converted into an antique store, I just had no idea it had been so successful! That explains the massive rooms, of course (though I had no idea about the creepy basement...) Thanks for the hit of nostalgia Danie!
Oh, I ADORE all of those bottles and would've picked them all up, too. I love collecting different colored and uniquely shaped bottles. Absolutely love the book & all the lil copper pieces for the kitchen, too. Idk what the mystery item could be, but I'm excited to see how you style it bc you never disappoint ♥️♥️
Wow, I just love everything you bought for your home. It’s all unique in its own way. I have to say my faves are the book, and the blue lamp, but it’s all fantastic. Hopefully you do a video showing us how you style each treasure. See you next Saturday. TFS😊😊
I agree anything that comes into your brain needs to be seen. Love the corky potion idea. My mom used to have glass swans that she put colored water in for display. Love the haul.
Any guesses on what the weird antique wood piece could be?! leave suggestions below! 👇
the mystery thing is obviously a shelf for weird antique miniatures!
and now you get to go shopping again.
Omg I’ve never even heard of the Orono antique market and it’s like 35 mins from me! Guess I know where I want to go!!

That was my first thought but why the 31? Measure the black boards are they 31 " long? Might be a clue?
Could the A mean ammunitions? Could a smaller 31" missile or projectile have gone in there? Needing space between each? B

If you're going to use the fireproof heavy black box for important, hard-or-impossible-to-replace documents, please make sure they are sealed in something waterproof too! If they're protected from a fire but then not protected from whatever is used to put the fire out, what is the point? x'D You might also be able to DIY your own rubbery seal for the box itself. It looks like it latches pretty tight, but "pretty tight" and "waterproof" are very different things when it comes to important docs. That said, the easier solution is just to use storage bags like ziploc, which as a bonus can be used to group like documents (and labeled, of course).
My favorite is the Royal Crown bottle for $3. And I am a huge fan of copper and loved those finds. Great video!!!
Loved the haul. I especially loved the converted lamp, it was so beautiful and perfect for your new kitchen! It would look even more amazing and vintage if you put an Edison bulb in it. Have a great day!
so much joy to see you again Danie. You bring me smile, laugh and joy. I adore what you do. I love building stuffs too ! The week is better when I can get to see your new video. Thank you ! you're great !
you make my week better too!
OMG This was a video I didn't know I needed. It's been 2 years since I've been able to go 'junking' with my aunt (her word for thrifting lol) and this just gave me so many feels. Those amazing arched wooden frames in the 3rd place looked so whimsical! I love cottage country ontario for its junking treasures :P
What I like about your house so far is that any of your items could in any room that you’ve touched. Your down the road rearranging refreshes are going to be so effortless. Seamless but distinct flavors all in one place.
Wow, I was just scrolling through the comments... So many wonderful people, with such interesting and kind things to say. It was so much fun going through the comments. Look what you did to us, Dannie!
I love old bottles! I have a big collection going. The ones that were clear but have turned lavender are my favorites. Would love to see more of you antiquing and finding quirky finds and then maybe flipping them.
I love this video! Would love more of this antique shopping/thrifting content. 'The Cottage Physician' is truly the perfect book for your apothecary. And I am super excited for potion brewing!
This was a great vlog, one out of the usual diy but welcomed none the less. The first shop was massive and love all the cutie things you bought. I'm all excited about what the project next week will be. Hey Jess. Shout out to the best friend. Thanks for sharing.
I’ll watch anything that comes from your imaginative brain. Love my Saturday mornings with DIY Danie. 💜
Loved your haul! Especially loved seeing your happy, smiling face! 😃 💕
Totally nerding out cause your local and I've been to all those places and love them . There also is old church in fraserville that was converted to a antique shop. If you need a break from your place feel free to fix my place up 😆
Ok I really want that book...and that cute little bitters bottle! Also basically everything you find I love ❤
This was such an incredibly cool video, I loved every second of it! The editing of the first antique market was just superior!!
The re-enactment 😂😂😂
The lamp and the book are amazing finds! Well honestly everything was pretty dope 🤷🏽♀️
You can buy a bag of assorted corks to re-cork your bottles. I believe they sell them at Hobby lobby
The only thing I can think off is that last piece was a lid for a handmade trunk. They used heavier lids to protect the storing of tools and weapons. The “slats” could be a way of preventing the item from being used as a seat. Are there and holes to suggest it once had hinges or a lock? If it was made for a home and not travel the lids wouldn’t necessarily need to be attached to the bottom piece. But the labeling confounds me. They did often label boxes in the military but then this wouldn’t be handmade. At first I thought it was a printers storage system but there would be no reason to make it so heavy. Are there any nails that can help you date it?
Either way you got some really unusual and very cool items. Please do potion mixing, and I need advice from the book for sinusitis. I’m sure the cure would work! 😁💕
I am absolutely loving this video! My favourite "pick me up" or chill weekend activity is going thrifting or antiquing. That Cottage Physician book is amazing!
It was great to follow you around and see what you snagged, nice to see you get a bit of a break from all the hard work you've been doing too!
I love the brass pieces
Danie what a great video and from the comments you have bought back a lot of memories for people . I love that you find joy in preloaded items . Thankyou for sharing ps I would have bought the rose water bottle too it’s lovely 😊
Should say preloved 😜
The crown topped bottle, is an old Chambord liqueur bottle. I used to use the crowns as Barbie Doll accessories
thats so smart! genius!
Lv the crown as is. I would leave it on if it was me.
YES!! Give me all the apothecary filler diy creations videos!!
Great finds!!! Favorite item: copper stuff (maybe -- but liked it all). That last heavy thingy would make a great top to a bench. You've got a great eye for Danie Things -- they all look like stuff Danie would buy. Thanks for this diversion = loved it. :)
Can I just say how incredible you look with the turtleneck? I mean you look sassy yet mysterious. Today’s look - you nailed it! God I wish I could meet you! You’re my soul sister! 😍
Sassy yet mysterious! Is that not what we all want for ourselves? haha love it.
@@DIYDanie We do, but you carry it off so naturally, like without any effort. I’m in love with you! ☺️
Thanks for this awesome video !! I love pretty much everything you picked and it was so pleasant to watch. 😍 (the book is just incredibly beautiful 🤩)
Please do more of these if you feel like it ! And if you want to show us how to clean the copper pieces without damaging them, that would be interesting as well ! 😊
Love EVERYTHING you found! And that book! OMG is everything! Can’t wait to see how you style them and that video on the potion’s bottles 😉
Love the liqueur bottle though I hate that you plan to ditch the crown top, it's very fairytale. And, the bitters bottle is AWESOME. The book is a great find.
I Like the idea of the "Crown on Top the Bottle, as well ,as that' Speaks" English Royalty @ the House of England" ... please Don't remove it !!! That's so Cool !!
@@sandieedward8214 Agree😃💕
Thrift shops have suffered greatly in my community, very sad. So many of the smaller privately owned ones have closed down eliminating those wonderful strips of thrift shops. Again, just very sad for us treasure hunters and especially for those who really depend on these second hand stores to dress themselves and their family.
An episode about filling and wax sealing the bottle would be just “corky”!
That just sealed the deal for me!
That comment was a corker 😁👍
You can find cool ephemera online for your bottles. I purchased some extremely old unused medicine labels to use. I do mixed art, and paint, among other things. The blue bottles are pretty old too.
Love the bottles you found and love the medicine book, but my favorite is probably the blue lamp! That is so pretty! If I go looking these days, it is for things like oil lamps, bread boxes, manual kitchen gadgets and textiles. Glad you took a break and got to enjoy the shopping! Will love seeing how you style things.
That lamp is so cute & great for your Kitchen 😍✔️Your Diffinately Dancing 🩰 through the Wonders if LiFe 💯💕 & I "Love that About You"; as IT'S TRuELy is Magical LiKe Finding A Fairy Village !!!

I love vintage shopping too. My favs are fluffy the little bank and the tiny picture. Things that have a story are my weakness.
It's been awhile since I've entered an antique shop and you my dear have awakened a new view of looking at items. Thank you
YES to the potion video, theank you very much!
You found some cool stuff. I love the bottles you found. Keep the crown on the bottle. That makes it in my opinion.
My late grandmother had ' The Women's Handbook', a thick book published in 1950s had all sorts of scary home remedies and included diagrams much like your physician's book.
Ravenclaw! 💙 I love when magic gets incorporated! Would love to see some potion making!!
Yes to potions class. These items are all so YOU and are real treasures!!
The book n lamp are my fave....total treasures!!💙💙💙👍 great finds overall!!!👌
OMG! The calendar at 6:03 !!! I totally have one from when I was a kid. I have always LOVED that thing!
OMG! That Orono Antique Marking used to be my dance studio! My old teacher must have sold it 15 years ago. I knew it had been converted into an antique store, I just had no idea it had been so successful! That explains the massive rooms, of course (though I had no idea about the creepy basement...)
Thanks for the hit of nostalgia Danie!
I love the book, I have a book called Honey, mud and maggots and other medical Marvel's but it has very little illustrations
Oh, I ADORE all of those bottles and would've picked them all up, too. I love collecting different colored and uniquely shaped bottles. Absolutely love the book & all the lil copper pieces for the kitchen, too. Idk what the mystery item could be, but I'm excited to see how you style it bc you never disappoint ♥️♥️
My first impression of the wood piece is that it was a lid for something. I love the book. What a find.
Lots of cool and interesting stuff, the weirder/more unusual the better. But then again, I like doll heads in jars.😄😁😊👶👶
Wow, I just love everything you bought for your home. It’s all unique in its own way. I have to say my faves are the book, and the blue lamp, but it’s all fantastic. Hopefully you do a video showing us how you style each treasure. See you next Saturday. TFS😊😊
I agree anything that comes into your brain needs to be seen. Love the corky potion idea. My mom used to have glass swans that she put colored water in for display. Love the haul.
