Even though the sphere is hollow, it looks top heavy on that wire stand. I find the idea of a pair of hands gently grasping it seems appealing. As if still in the sculptor's embrace... Happy 2022, Year of the House!
I'd go with a museum/gallery type of aesthetic for Mary's sphere. The stand needs to be as unobtrusive as possible (ideally invisible!) to put full focus on the sphere. You could go with a clear acrylic holder, or paint the stand the same colour as the wall behind it in your new home. Is it destined for a niche of it's own there? I WILL stay tuned... I really love that sphere, Alex, I'm so glad it's the one piece you chose to keep!
Joh, I agree with you 100%. I would almost like the see it under a large cloche if it was in the open, on it's stand. It might when be an idea to talk with the company insuring it to see what they suggest. I love it, too.
2 years ago at a Goodwill I found 1940s Pyrex bowls in the red and blue, pretty much pristine, paid a whopping 2 bucks and giggled out of the store they now sit in my corner hutch. Love thrifting videos
A couple months ago I saw two Hudson bay blankets (from the 1950/ 60s) in the drop off bins I asked if they could price them so I could buy them.... They charged me the price of any other blanket..... A whopping $3 a pop! Thrift stores are great
@@jasonflay8818 What a score! Our thrift stores would never do that. They have certain people who do the pricing and they won't even sell anything without a tag.
The Goodwill bin stores are great for old books. Everyone overlooks them. I got a first edition of Hemingway's Old Man and the Sea there for little more than pocket lint. Made a great host gift for one of my art patrons!
I can't believe you didn't get that vase for Melissa! One more thing to move won't hurt, and she's working so hard getting ready for the move, she might have appreciated the thought...plus, it was a gorgeous vase, would have looked nice in one of your art niches catching the light.
I think the sphere is vulnerable to being knocked over in the thrifted stand. Could you commission a wooden stand that has a heavier base with an upper area that is custom fitted to hold the sphere? Happy New Year to you and your family!
Your stand that holds Mary's sphere, needs to be a hand! :) Maybe you could find one from the company you got your guitar holders from! Or like someone else suggested, have Josh make you one!
Alexander- I want to thank you for sharing your adventures during these not so nice times. You have brightened my days and provided much to be curious about and to enjoy. I sincerely thank you and Melissa and all your crew. Happy New Year to you and yours!🥳
Your thrift shops have a lot more to offer than the ones near me! That stand you bought for Mary's sphere looks to me like an accident waiting to happen. Just one bump and the whole thing will topple over possibly breaking the one thing you kept to remind you of Mary. If the stand has to be tall, find one that is more substantial in weight and wider so that it will show off Mary's artwork while still protecting it from falling over and breaking.
Go back and buy that beautiful blue and green vase, it would be beautiful in your new house. I love those colors too, we are April babies, spring colors are so beautiful
Paint the stand the same color as the wall will be where you are going to display it. That way the sphere stands out and the stand blends in with the wall.
I've dug through those bins before. Not my favorite. I have found some nice quilts in there and furniture is cheap. Great place to furnish a house on a budget. I loved that vase.
We got a fondue set for a wedding gift back in 95 and I’ve debated thrifting it over the years but always hang on to it. We’ve used it once or twice I think in 26 years!
I have two complete fondue sets from the 70s and used both frequently back then. It's probably been a good 10 years since we used them. There is a restaurant here called "The Melting Pot" nothing but fondue. It's expensive and always busy.
@@MaryB-ps8lg I loved it when my mom did fondue back in the late seventies and early eighties when I was a kid. - lifetime ago! I wish I had her old set! It was much nicer than the one I have! I still have her old cookbook though called cooking for fondue. Maybe some day I’ll actually use it!
I would hire a wood turner to make like a nice black walnut or koa stand. Well you're canadian so maybe go for maple? There's plenty beautiful flame maple or maybe a spalted maple for a little more rustic feel too it.
When you were looking at that green/blue vase on the bottom shelf was a red bubble vase. It looked to be a Blenko bubble vase by Wayne Husted. I have 3 but not in that color. I would've loved to pick it up and look at the bottom for further inspection. For Mary's piece, a nice 3 legged wooden carved stand would work great. I use them for pottery with a round bottom.
that playset Micro Machine is cool I never thought it would be worth that much I have the van too I think somewhere Micro Machines were soo cool and still are
I don't think you have any earthquakes in your area, but you will have 3 possible ones in your new house. I would mount any tall display stand onto a solid base to keep the ball intact. I would even consider some type of tacky tape or wall picture mount removeable glue to make sure it stays in place for an important piece like that. Love it when you think outside of the box!
In my opinion, if you're looking for stuff for your own home, the best deals at a thrift shop are lamps. They are crazy expensive to buy new and if you find one that's the shape you like, it's so easy to clean them up and paint them with whatever color or metal color you want and they look brand new with a new shade.
I got an old large ceramic vase from a shed, handle on the side broken off and another chip. I used Durham's putty to restore it and spray painted it with hammered bronze. It's beautiful! If I bought one new in a store it would be $40 or more.
You can find some interesting things thrifting at times. I used to do it all the time esp at one time for furniture. The place I like have put their prices up so much that you could probably buy new for close to the same price. I no longer shop there . You found some awesome things. I would have Josh make you a stand. Mary meant a lot to him too Im sure he would come up with something awesome. Keep Safe❤Keep Well ❤
It would be interesting to see the sphere base painted with a chrome paint. I know they make some really good ones that aren't that expensive. It would draw the eye, but maybe too much bling... Maybe not. Just a thought.
That pyrex went through the dish washer to much. NEVER put Pyrex in the dishwasher ..I have pee wee Herman .he still talks .he's with my collection of dolls..I would have bought the match box car..I love match box cars .they are all class..
hey Archie! Here's a helpful hint… When you're checking for Crystal you're not supposed to ping it. Take your index finger on the inside of it and your thumb on the outside of it and pinch the glass pulling upward quickly and off... then listen to the sound
That vase was very pretty. If you bought it you could’ve just stopped and bought a bouquet of flowers and gave it to Melissa as a… Just because you’re wonderful gift.
I also love to do the estate sales more than going to the thrift stores. Things are just nicer and if I find something that I really want I don't have to argue with anyone over it knowing they just put it back on the shelf too. You have a great day and Happy New Years to you all as well.
I have that same Pee-wee Herman doll that a friend bought for me at a yard sale, years ago. Ever since that day Pee-wee has ridden in the back seat of my truck.
You should get a thick candle holder for the sphere. That metal holder looks cheap and isn't substantial enough to hold the sphere or do it justice. imo
I've found some real treasures at Goodwill!! Including a framed 8 bar original manuscript from J. S. Bach! I thought I had it locked up at auction, but just before it came up, an older, obviously well off gentleman breathlessly stumbled in, and bid me up to all the money I had, period. A lousy $400. It was just the two of us bidding, in a group of maybe 100 people. He won, of course. I am a professional musician, and a dealer of instruments and such things. Good for him. It was listed at $25, and I prebid $105. A very rough period in my life. I'm sure he was a professor at The University of Texas, current or retired. Who knows, but he was the only other person who recognized what it was, all week, in a high traffic upscale store.
There is a special Goodwill near me that sells clothing by the pound. Everything is about 2/3 cheaper. Once I got some really nice leather gloves for 50 cents! It is where unsold items go. The deals are phenominal!
Careful, a stand becomes part of sculpture and that wire stand clashes with the sculpture. A clear acrylic cylinder might work better. Or a clear cylinder shaped glass vase would be more consistent with the modern style. Measure the width of the sphere so you know the diameter of the vase that would work. Dollar Tree, Michael's, Joanne Fabrics,, and other craft stores sell glass cylinder vases.
They do make display stands out of clear acrylic . Like a baseball or soft ball holder . I'd try your local custom framing store. They may have a resource for that kind of thing.
You totally crack me up with your commentary on the items in the store. I would love to accompany you at one of your Goodwill and Thtift store shopping trips. 🤣🤣
I think you can paint the stand any color or combination of 2 colors(use painters tape) just like the vase you were admiring for Melissa. Its going really showcase Mary's sphere off nicely.Thx for sharing. Happy New Year to you all.
I was thinking the Exact Same Thing!!! When you put the sphere on the stand I thought to myself you should paint that White!!! God Bless You and Your Family!!! Happy New Year!!!
You have a keen eye, that's for sure. All the best to you and your family in 2022. And good on you for even venturing outside in this weather. I haven't left the house in 2 weeks lol
I still have that exact same micro machines truck. Loved playing with it as a child. I never knew about the goodwill bins, and I live in Edmonton! Good to know
I agree with something heavy or square as base voor the piece of artwork from Mary. This thingy is nice, but too light. Because of the solidness of the sphere, a square concrete or wooden base would be also very nice. Good luck guys with everything!
That stand looks pretty light, i would be worried it might fall over if brushed against... i would attach the little stand to a heavy piece of wood or stone after painting it contrasting colors
I love Mary’s sphere. I’m amazed you only kept one piece. I would love to hear your thinking on that some day. Do you ever regret not keeping more? Maybe one piece for each of your kids to take into their homes some day as a memory? There were so many beautiful things.
Personally I'd have totally bought that gorgeous vase and then tucked it away as a 'surprise honey!' housewarming gift for the new place, or at least a happy smile thing that'll be nice to look forward to. But that's just, like, my opinion.
Happy New Year,Alex.I wish you all good health and happiness in 2022. And ofcourse a perfect build new home🥰🏡 You found some nice stuff.Looking forward to see what you will do with the beautiful sphere.🤗
Did you try turning the stand upside down? Those curly ques would make good feet. I was telling at my phone for you to turn it over, like you mentioned you may try.
I love a good wing chair - when covered in modern fabric they can look fab Melt a Camembert in the micro wave and dip with crusty bread the 21st century fondue
My Daughter feels like people donate to these places so that people who can not afford to pay retail price can afford to own them. I guess when I donate it is often just a way to down size. I do feel better when you go direct to the seller.
That stand is too busy looking for the plain sphere. You need something simple that won't detract from it. Happy New Year to you, Melissa, Stephen, Jason and Abigail.
That cut out wooden chair made me smile, it reminded me of the famous chair Christine Keeler sat nude in. It caused a huge political scandal in the UK government in the 1960's.
Ask Josh to make a hand to sit the sphere in he would create something special its what Mary's art deserves. Happy New Year from Adelaide Australia 🍾
My thought too.
Great idea.
Best idea yet 👏
Yes!!
That would be cool
Even though the sphere is hollow, it looks top heavy on that wire stand. I find the idea of a pair of hands gently grasping it seems appealing. As if still in the sculptor's embrace... Happy 2022, Year of the House!
The wire stand is a distraction to the beautiful work Mary put into her sphere let alone plain ugly.
I'd go with a museum/gallery type of aesthetic for Mary's sphere. The stand needs to be as unobtrusive as possible (ideally invisible!) to put full focus on the sphere. You could go with a clear acrylic holder, or paint the stand the same colour as the wall behind it in your new home. Is it destined for a niche of it's own there? I WILL stay tuned...
I really love that sphere, Alex, I'm so glad it's the one piece you chose to keep!
Joh, I agree with you 100%. I would almost like the see it under a large cloche if it was in the open, on it's stand. It might when be an idea to talk with the company insuring it to see what they suggest. I love it, too.

Yes ! I really wish he'd go back and buy it.
I think the sphere is vulnerable to being knocked over in the thrifted stand. Could you commission a wooden stand that has a heavier base with an upper area that is custom fitted to hold the sphere? Happy New Year to you and your family!
Alezander I love the way Melissa immediarely pops inro your mind when you see something she might like. Makes me think that you like her or something.
but he didn't get it, always room for something as beautiful as that. 😪
Your stand that holds Mary's sphere, needs to be a hand! :) Maybe you could find one from the company you got your guitar holders from! Or like someone else suggested, have Josh make you one!
Or Atlas; he could hold it on his shoulders.
I think the first "stand" you looked at was nicer. It wasn't as elaborate or tall, but it didn't take away the focus from the sphere.
Maybe by removing most of the rings and these swirly bits right at the edge of the sphere, you could set the focus back to the sphere?🤔
Exactly my thought. Needs to be a really simple piece. 👍
I think the problem with that one (my fave, too) is that it’s too short for what he wanted.
Alexander- I want to thank you for sharing your adventures during these not so nice times. You have brightened my days and provided much to be curious about and to enjoy. I sincerely thank you and Melissa and all your crew. Happy New Year to you and yours!🥳

Sorry Alex , that thrift store wire thing for the sphear looks like poor choice or accident waiting to happen. For that exceptional work of art.
Thank you for taking us along! Love watching your videos!
Find a hand statue to hold it . They have kits you can buy and make your own hand statue.
Great idea!
A priceless combo: Mary's sphere and Alexander's hand.
I gotta hand 🤚 it to you, great idea!!
@@Seed833 hope Alex sees it and thinks so.

I use my fondue set for melting chocolate when I make candy at the holidays. I think I made fondue in it once. :)
for Mary's Orb, i suggest two pieces of plexiglass held 90° angles with simple half cuts to allow to stand up.
I would hire a wood turner to make like a nice black walnut or koa stand.
Well you're canadian so maybe go for maple? There's plenty beautiful flame maple or maybe a spalted maple for a little more rustic feel too it.
"I don't like picking up scraps, i like going to the source" Said Alex and drives straight to another thrift store. Onya as we say here in Australia!
That's blue and green vase was cool.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Love thrift shops
Make a cast of your own hand to the elbow holding the sphere. Put a nice wooden base on it (Josh should be able to help with that)
Paint the stand silver, it'll look quite modern & show off the black sphere.
Yes. silver would look great.
When you were looking at that green/blue vase on the bottom shelf was a red bubble vase. It looked to be a Blenko bubble vase by Wayne Husted. I have 3 but not in that color.

THIS. Alex walked right by a number of pots and things I would have taken a look at.
You are a trip. You're so smart to be such a young age. But I so enjoy watching your videos. Please have more of Hans he is precious.
I think that stand looks too flimsy for the sphere!
that playset Micro Machine is cool I never thought it would be worth that much I have the van too I think somewhere
Micro Machines were soo cool and still are
I'd recommend that you place some felt pads on the contact points of the stand so that it doesn't mar the finish Mary worked so hard to create.
Wow! Great idea Karen! Josh would make the coolest hand to hold that sphere.
I bet Josh could make the perfect stand for that sphere. Seems like a cool idea for an artist to make the stand for another artist piece.
I don't think you have any earthquakes in your area, but you will have 3 possible ones in your new house. I would mount any tall display stand onto a solid base to keep the ball intact. I would even consider some type of tacky tape or wall picture mount removeable glue to make sure it stays in place for an important piece like that.
Love it when you think outside of the box!
Yes to Josh,no to the current stand. Happy New Year

Paint the stand. white or lighter grey so the sculpture will stand out and the stand will hang back...
Paint it a copper color. It will really set off the black. You could also gently bend the curled parts down so it sits more in the stand. Thanks

Why decrease the value by painting it?

Something crystal would be nice to hold your art piece... so it appears to float
I think you should have gotten the lovely vase...what is one more thing to pack for the new house? The stand as you know, just isn't cutting it.
Some sort of a wood stand, or even if I dare say clear plexiglass . . . might suit that sphere,
Wishing you and the family a Very Happy New Year!
The stand for Mary's sculpture would look pretty painted a teal blue, it might go along with your seaside theme.
My family does fondue every Christmas Eve. Yum!
We used to love to do fondue at my dad and step mom's house when he were young!

The sphere and the stand remind me of an ice cream cone. Maybe I should eat breakfast now. LOL
I hope I'm not the only one who said Value Vilaaaaarrrrrrrggggggeeeeee in Hans' voice as Alex entered the store!
Here in AZ that hutch would have been priced at $150-200 at our Goodwills. They have gotten a little full of themselves down here!
Hi Alexander fans, happy new year from New Zealand. 9.3pm here New year's eve. Only 3 hours to New year.

A glass cylinder vase would be perfect and they're a dime a dozen, it would be easy to find one the right height and width.
Good advice
They do make display stands out of clear acrylic . Like a baseball or soft ball holder . I'd try your local custom framing store. They may have a resource for that kind of thing.

You have a keen eye, that's for sure. All the best to you and your family in 2022. And good on you for even venturing outside in this weather. I haven't left the house in 2 weeks lol
The sphere needs a minimalist stand. Clear lucite, or custom metal or wood on a plain base. Look at museum displays of objects for inspiration.
You have a great eye and knowledge and I enjoy your videos very much
wow. what a deal! you find the best stuff! love your store. happy new year
Happy New Year 🎆. Much love from Minnesota 💖💖💖
I think no to the stand. Just not quite right. You have a great eye and will know when you find it.
I still have that exact same micro machines truck. Loved playing with it as a child. I never knew about the goodwill bins, and I live in Edmonton! Good to know
Same here!
I agree with something heavy or square as base voor the piece of artwork from Mary. This thingy is nice, but too light. Because of the solidness of the sphere, a square concrete or wooden base would be also very nice. Good luck guys with everything!
These are my kind of videos! I flip stuff from Goodwill all the time and get at least a 50% or more profit!
Happy New Year to you and your family. One day, if things settle down, we will visit from Idaho.
That stand looks pretty light, i would be worried it might fall over if brushed against... i would attach the little stand to a heavy piece of wood or stone after painting it contrasting colors
