Yes! My hobby is buying and planning to start a new hobby. Then staring at the growing pile of stuff, feeling guilty, then never starting anything! We should start a group! xx
Those Lane boxes were given as gifts to graduating senior high school girls. Still have mine from 1976! The one you found looks like someone painted hers and it turned out very nice. You have great stuff at that GW.
Andi, thank you for being my tea time buddy. I’m just starting out, lots of self doubt and I lose motivation. Since I’ve found your channel, I make myself a tea and watch your content. I always learn something and I feel ready to take on the day. So thanks again from a fellow West Coaster
Those glasses looked like hyacinth glasses vases. Water fills the bottom and the hyacinth bulb sits on the curve and it is constantly being watered and will bloom !. I
MINIATURE LANE BOXES: You were smart to pass on that painted Lane box. Lane made Cedar Hope Chests back in the day. As a promotional they made a ton of those miniature boxes, unpainted. I graduated high school in 1975 in a small town in Louisiana. The local furniture store gave out one of those boxes to every girl graduating high school that year, around 200. They knew within the next three years most of them would be married and they sold a lot of their hope chests to them. FYI: I married at 24 and never owned a hope chest.
Laura was shopping same store and found the same wooden bowl with salt and pepper shakers and passed it up as she said they weren't a set. I know you know her so seeing that was cool. Same with those angular mugs. She passed those up cuz there was writing on it that she thought wouldn't come off.
Sitting down to eat breakfast thinking - no one ever posts videos on Sundays - AND you were the top video so Thank You!!! lol I was setting up my newest booth and was in desperate need of small baskets. Had to go to three GW to find what I needed - bought them all even tho, at the time, I didn’t need them!!! Used them all!! TFS I LOVE your account!❤
Hi Andi! The glass is by Pyrex and is called The Uncandle. I have a pair in their box in my kitchen cupboard. They are from the 70's, and came with wicks and plastic discs that you floated on top of cooking oil, on top of water.... all the burning time of oil, but supposedly safer... if you knocked one over, the water flooded it, and if you burned it down & used up all the oil, it flooded on it's own. You could use it to force a bulb in water if the bulb wasn't too top heavy I suppose, but that was not the original purpose. I did not google value, but I'm sure they do not have a mega-value.
Great haul Andi!!! The clear glass piece...is, I believe, for holding a bulb, thus the bulb is set in the glass, roots pointing downward, filled with water to submerge the roots, and a flower will emerge from the bulb. Christmas bulbs (flower) units are very popular and traditional!! I think that is what it is!!!!💞💞🙃💞💞
a thought about your "hobby". I am finally to the point where I am semi-retired and have a weekly studio day when I can create from the things I've been saving for years. Theres still hope, you are young girl :]
Those glasses sell so fast if you use the right key words or place a little sign next to them in booth. I always pick them up and and use key words like, dumbbell glasses, tumblers,beer filled dumbbells.perfect gift for your husband and his drinking buddies. Anything you can come up with to relate those glasses to being dumbbells😊
I just found a small set of these too and was wondering what to do with them. I know it wasn't meant for me, but thank you for this information! So helpful!
Yes, local furniture stores that sold Lane hope chests would get lists of girls about to graduate from high school and mail out a postcard to each saying she would be given a free mini lane cedar chest if she brought the postcard into the store, which was the name inside the box. I graduated in 1975 and I got one but I don’t think this tradition lasted much longer. The one found in the video had been painted.
I occasionally sell them in a booth. They don't take up a lot of room and some of them are too cute to pass up. You can buy replacement corks and plastic stoppers.
I hear you on the accumulation of stuff for a hobby. The dopamine rush of buying hobby supplies is like the dopamine rush of thrifting for me. I unfortunately have a large stash of project pieces waiting to be upcycled. 😂
Not just the 70 's. I've been told since the 40 's or 50 's and I got mine in the 80 's. They were given by furniture stores in partnership with Lane to encourage young women to buy a hope chest or cedar chest.
The material the "Bless This House" clock was made of is called syroco. I wish you had gotten the colorful painting so you would have something colorful in your booth!!
The blue ceramic piece with the two separately priced parts looked like it may have been a Bill Campbell but you didn't hold the bottom up long enough with the signature. Campbell is worth $$$
I know I’m a bit late to this video, but I have found several brass items that people have painted instead of polished 🤦♀️ I put them in a bucket of vinegar diluted with water and leave them over night, and the paint rubs right off. You might need to polish with brasso or gentle abrasive after because the brass may turn a bit pink due to the vinegar reacting with the surface of the brass
I wish my local goodwills had the great pieces you find at yours. The best I ever get is occasional brass, and on very rare occasions i get a good vintage painting. I do appreciate how often your cranking out these videos, all with a child and having a day job. Yikes how do you do it? Got to do some research on modern folk art??? Great content, and so helpful!
We have the same hobby. I always see things when out thrifting and think 🤔 I could do this thing to that thing , in the cart!🤣. Shocker, I never do this thing to the thing😂🤣
They are hyasinth vases, You should have bought the whole set. Hyacinth vases are great for christmas, in scandinavia we fill the houses with hyacinths for christmas and the hyacinth vases are really popular
Lane mini hope chest boxes were given to high school girl graduates in the 70’s. It would have had a key to keep it closed. The angel picture may be cross stitch rather than needlepoint.
I love the 2 “stranger things “ Daniel not only invented f wireless picture and video messaging in cellular telephones , but he is a sculpture too. Oh god you would die if you saw his pieces. They are of the old school everyday items, tv with antena and knobs, princess pink phone, old radio, the old doctors cas to do house calls (made out of stone marble ..brass accents….they are incredible. He has the first gas pump, , the first Kodak camera, our black and white old school phone …. They weight tons all of them but incredible I could not figure out how to insert pictures….. with all that said we like sculpture’s 🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️
I am not a reseller, but a thrifter. But is anybody using salt and pepper shakers anymore? Arent we all using salt and pepper mills ? Love the silver tree topper star.
I BELIEVE the sculpture pieces are vinage and important!!!! Research them!! The one looks like mushrooms or pods. But I think they are 1940s-50s. Maybe the artists United States are not United States.
Last line did not make sense. But my husband is an artist and he thinks both are worthy of researching. And he heard you say you are thinking about painting the mushroom, pods one. No!
Kids don't play with the dragon puzzle. That belongs in the man cave between the limited edition Harry Potter wands and the replica Lord of the Rings swords
Andi, I don’t remember ever seeing you swoop in and grab so much stuff! Well, not since your last video anyway. 😅. I loved all the boxes you found and I know they must be hard to part with! 🩷
Yes! My hobby is buying and planning to start a new hobby. Then staring at the growing pile of stuff, feeling guilty, then never starting anything! We should start a group! xx
This is me! 😆😆🤣🤣
I would join that group! That’s me. I have the best of intensions but no artistic talent whatsoever.
Ugh! So relatable lol
Same
I'd join too. 😁 What if I somehow manage to have spare time though? I need the supplies so I can do the thing right away 😂

You got this!!!! We are all figuring things out as we go. ❤️
OMG thank you for explaining my hobby. Inspiration to craft with no follow through. I would win awards in this genre!
LOL - me too. Basically planning for DIY projects is just shopping!!😂
I love the boxes you found and that flat basket. I too am a member of the "Gonna one day do that DIY" group- ha!
Haha so many of us are!
Those boxes !! 😍😍😍
Those glasses looked like hyacinth glasses vases. Water fills the bottom and the hyacinth bulb sits on the curve and it is constantly being watered and will bloom !. I
"My hobby is planning for a hobby that then never happens" 😂 I think I might suffer from the same condition! Love this haul 👌

I graduated high school in 1990 and my parents bought me a hope chest. Mine came with the little box too. ❤
I have a hope chest too!
I Love the wood boxes and the Florentine trays you source!!! 👍👍p.s. You have beautiful hair!!
Thank you! 🤗
@
You’re welcome 😊
Hallo!! in the Netherlands we use these glasses to plant hyacinth bulbs!
The sculptures remind me of the rooftop of Gaudi’s house in Barcelona.
Exactly what I thought too ! 👍🏽
That glass is for forcing flower bulbs. Water in the bottom and a bulb in the top.
Laura was shopping same store and found the same wooden bowl with salt and pepper shakers and passed it up as she said they weren't a set. I know you know her so seeing that was cool. Same with those angular mugs. She passed those up cuz there was writing on it that she thought wouldn't come off.
It's so funny when that happens! One day I imagine we will end up in the same store, but it hasnt happened yet!
Love the long basket perfect for placing cut roses.
The neon color boho box actually looks really cute in your space with all of your decor. ☺️
I remember those pyrex glasses from the 60's or 70's. They were used for floating candles that were all the rage.
Wild! Thank you!

Nice haul. Search for The Un-Candle by Corning Pyrex regarding your barbell-shaped glass. From the 1970s.
Hi! Like the items a lot. Tfs

Could those large odd-shaped sculptures be for a big aquarium? Just a thought. Love your videos❤️
It definitely looks like it!
Lane gave girls those boxes in hopes we would invest in the bigger hope chest i still have mine ❤
Yes! Got one when I graduated from high school in the 70s.

The one sculpture gives me a mushrooms vibe which reminds me how your husband likes them…so I figured that was why you picked it up
Omg those boxes... we NEVER NEVER NEVER have that kind of stuff at our goodwills here in california..
The basket with the handle look like you would be using it to collect flowers from the garden.
what a fun video! I’ve never seen Polish boxes with bright colors on them! They always seem to be muted usually. Scores!❤❤
The brightly colored box is from Mexico.

fine needlepoint is called petit point.
Great finds. Love the boxes 😊
Thanks Andi! We share the same hobby. Made me lol.
I bet those 2 sculptures are very important pieces. I just bought a 16 x 20 piece of Haitian folk art LOVE it the colors are imazing!!
Loved the painting 2:20. Thanks for another great video.
Me too.
Love your videos. I am a reseller and have learned so much from you. Thanks.
I think the Pyrex glasses are for forcing bulbs (like narcissus). Or could be! And a flexible spongey bottle brush could clean them.
In the 70s Lane gave those boxes to senior girls. Someone has painted it.
Not just the 70 's. I've been told since the 40 's or 50 's and I got mine in the 80 's. They were given by furniture stores in partnership with Lane to encourage young women to buy a hope chest or cedar chest.
I had those Pyrex ‘glasses’ They were sold with floating candles
I have two of the angels framed well…..makes a big difference
The material the "Bless This House" clock was made of is called syroco. I wish you had gotten the colorful painting so you would have something colorful in your booth!!
I love your thrifting videos so much! I also collect things in hopes of completing the hobby and never do haha
Love those boxes!
I have the same hobby! Didn't realize it until you mentioned it. Made me laugh! I thought it was just me 🤣🤣🤣
You may be able to use a brush like you would for a reusable water bottle to clean those pyrex glasses.
Love the weird sculpture! I didn’t see it in your shop 😅
I really would like the red folkart box! Can you make a special listing as sold and let me know?

I want the green metal welded xmas tree!❤ Did you get it???
Maybe just put a lovely IOD transfer on the wooden items. Lot’s faster lol
Will you be selling the sculpture at your booth or etsy?
I have the same hobby🙃

I was yelling at the screen that the brass/mirror tree topper was cracked.....but at least you'll keep it for yourself 😊

Modern art sculpture is similar to your art.
which goodwill is this?
I'm a native Portlander :)
The store on 99 in Tigard, the Aloha store and the location off 26 in Hillsboro.
@@AllPutTogether Thanks, a little far from me in pdx, I went to my happy valley one today
It is cross-stitch.
Please I beg you do not colour block that sculpture
I agree! They are by professional artists, sculptors.
Andi, I don’t remember ever seeing you swoop in and grab so much stuff! Well, not since your last video anyway. 😅. I loved all the boxes you found and I know they must be hard to part with! 🩷
