You found your people. You both speak the same language, talking about the school. You made their day and they made yours. Thanks for sharing your love of vintage things. Great video.
I'm going to guess that the older gentleman got just as much out of your visit as you did, if not more. There is nothing better than a willing audience that appreciates your stories and experiences. I'm sure he has told them over and over again, through the years, but to have someone who was so excited to see and hear his history had to have brought him great joy, as well. You may have thought that you were successful in all of your finds, but you gave something of yourself, that is also priceless. You showed respect for him and the items that he was selling and handled yourself in a manner that the older folk don't always find in the younger generations. And you were invited back. That shows he also trusted you and that means a lot.
I am so THRILLED for you and actually, the family, for the joy you ALSO gave Uncle Bill in reliving memories and sharing them. Its called Paycheck of the Heart many times over!!!
That was a HUGE God wink!! You were supposed to find those people and share in their stories. I can only imagine that that was as great a day for them as you!
What an incredible story and the fact that it was a random stop makes it so much more exciting. I'm so happy for you and your chance to aquire these items. Thank you for filming the engagement between you and the family. I hope you do get the chance to return and hear more stories. Don't apologize for loving what you love and being proud of who you are as a collector and reseller. Spoiler Alert-most of your viewers watch you because of your beautiful soul not what you resell 😉
So many memories in that gentleman's head. You could talk to someone like that for hours and still not hear everything. That experience was priceless and can never be forgotten. It would be fun to go and just listen to him talk and record it, he is a treasure and should be treated as such.
I love the glow you have about this particular yard sale. You were meant to come across this family and share their memories. It is an honor to meet them and enjoy their lives. Meanwhile, there's always tomorrow to make money. Today's video is PRICELESS!
Wow. Just wow. What they shared with you was huge. You respected their memories and love of the game. I’m so very happy that you got to experience this! What a blessing to be able to hear the passionate stories. And you better take them up on a return visit! I bet you made their day as well.
I have to say that even though as an Australian i know nothing about American Football, this has to be my favorite video you have posted, just because of the pure joy it brought you
You handled that family and their memories elequintly. You probably could have been there talking and telling stories all day. Maybe there is a museum the Baseball uniform and photo could be in one day. Enjoyed you enthusiasm. Job well done.
I love sitting and listening to older people. I wish I had paid more attention to my grandparents and asked more questions. I’m so excited that you had this experience!
When I was little I would always sit there and listen to what the old folks had to say or share. And I am old now. And I still listen to what the much older folks have to share. None of my kids ever want to hear what I have to say. They never listen to me. But I to run into strangers that like to hear what I have to share I was invited to a 4th of July gathering . And I met an older couple in there later 70is. And I sat down with them and shared some of the WW#2 stories I was told by my father and Uncle and the things they seen and experienced. And some of the other old folks who shared their stories. When I was done sharing. The old man said, man I wish I had my recorder here. I should have recorded your stories. The older couple liked me so much that they invited to stay in their home, instead of camping out on there property. It sure ment allot to me. Before we parted, we exchanged numbers and we are still in contact with each other. I sure had a wonderful time with them.
Renee, I think this was your best video ever! It was fate for sure! I know how much you love P-Burg. You were shaking you were so excited. So, so happy for you! I loved hearing the stories! Enjoy your finds ❤
I’m so happy for you!! It truly was fate that you happened across this sale and every time you look at the things you got you will MORE remember this family and their love for the school than your love for the school.
Renee, the joy you spoke about, I understand. The emotion of the hunt and find, oh my goodness. Several years ago I had the opportunity to travel through the New England states. I was filled with so much joy, all I could say was "I'm so full". The appreciation was overwhelming. It's not always about money and it blessed me that you have so much depth of character. Thank you for sharing your home town memories. God Bless.
I absolutely LOVE this video . You got so much joy from that sale but I'm sure you gave back even more to that family , especially that sweet older man. Being able to share his family's history was such a gift.
It's fun to see multigenerations that feel the same way about school and really enjoyed the experience. So you start at the same place and shoot off in different directions. Everybody has a good story. Older people being validated by someone much younger really is the world to them.
Oh you've made me cry today Renee! Don't worry they were happy tears, your excitement and enthusiasm are what make your channel so wonderful to watch. Fate was definitely working in your favour today 😘
Your enthusiasm is contagious, so happy you found all that Phillipsburg memorabilia. You also gave that gentleman the attention he deserved when talking about the school and family history. I hope you do get to go back.
Things that are ment to be will be placed in your path! You worked at a nursing home in hopes of being able to hear great history stories, and it randomly happens at a yard sale, how great! Glad you will go back for tea & tales. This has made me smile seeing your excitement 😁. Love it! 👍👍
It’s hard to part with memorable items that we collect is…who would want my collection….I bet they were very happy to have you stumble upon their collection, and be as excited as they are :) it helps parting with the items. They know you will treat their items as they would :) excellent find…excellent video !
Completely agree! When someone amasses things they love and then face old age, it is wonderful to pass things on to someone who also appreciates their collection. Uncle Bill met the right person for his collection...Renee! Win-win.
Loved this..to listen to this man and lady tell their story. He was so happy to tell it. His crooked little shaking finger telling his legacy.... so wonderful for you to listen and to cherish his things for the future to come. That baseball uniform was amazing!
This video is priceless! Document all of it, take photos, record conversations! history is yesterday’s stories. This would make the beginnings of a wonderful P-berg diary! Maybe you are meant to carry on his work.
Destiny, destiny, great score, Renée, this story was really touching ! Lots of personal memories und just more awesome items for your personal collection. Greets from GER, U.
What a great sale you stumbled upon! The memories the man and wife shared with you are priceless, worth more than money to them and you. Thanks for sharing!
I am so happy for you that you found items that you can treasure. We all have our own type of items that we treasure so must of us understand your passion. Uncle Bill should be the guest of honor at Phillipsburg Day if you have one where he can share some stories. God Bless Uncle Bill what a treasure your town has in him. Thank you for being a thoughtful shopper when it comes to family treasures.
So lucky! We had our annual Hwy 38 garage sales. I found a bucket list item times 2! Digging in boxes, I found a paper mache Santa, 7 angel candles and my best ever find. In the last box were 2 paper mache jack-a-lanterns. SCORE for a whopping $2 for all!!
The real treasure at the garage sale was the gentleman and all his stories. Loved how excited he was to tell the stories to someone who really wanted to hear them. If I could find some of my high school memorabilia I would snatch it up in a minute. I hope you keep in touch with this family. They truly enjoyed seeing and talking with you.
This was really touching. I remember when you got all those great vintage clothes that fit you perfectly. You have a knack for stumbling upon some treasures.
@@PaperandMoose, maybe one day when I have extra money and a car again, so i can drive to the post office. I am considering putting my old pictures and some of the little paper work I brought from Germany and sent it to you. My kids don't care about my things and pictures. And maybe add the history to pictures and the paper work. I know with my kids and grandchildren my side of life will end with them. I always Loved history and still do. I never get tired listening to the old folks what they have to share. Renee I Love your videos and often or not it brings back good memories when I was younger. Thank you for sharing your videos with us. I Love how excited you get and how happy you look. Even I never met you and probably never will. I just want to say, I Love you.
This was one of those meetings of minds that are heavenly when happens. I love your ethics and I love your passion for what you love. What a lovely connection that, because of your ethics and passion, you will now get to talk to them and see their collection again. Fantastic video Rene x
The perfect person (you) found these treasures and I’m sure they were as thrilled as you for someone to have them that appreciates them so much and for taking the time to hear about their memories and share yours!
Your heart is in the right place Rene. So enjoyed seeing and hearing your excitement over the Phillipsburg memorabilia. Listening to the elderly man probably made his day sharing with you his memories. So HAPPY for you!! Enjoyed this video!!
I loved this the main thing was to see your eyes sparkle & that beautiful smile,to see the happiness it brought to you I believe in fate to so hope you go back to see the lovely gentleman but don’t leave these things to long Renee time is of the essence. Keep smiling sending you love and prayers always, please keep safe xx❤️🙏🏻🇬🇧
I totally understand! How exciting for you...I wrote books on my dads family and my moms family going back generations...and where they lived so anything I find related just is the best feeling! All worth so much more than money.
AWESOME-All good comes to those who wait! You were meant to be there at that sale, at that time! So happy for you, and I can relate to the emotional aspect also! I think most of us resellers look for items, from a previous time, to remember how happy life was, and still is! Lovely Video-made me remember wonderful memories of a younger me!
These are the garage sales I love.. learning local history and getting to listen to the elderly tell their stories and relive their memories. Thank you x
Hi Renee. I enjoyed the histories of the old man who gave the best story of his life. Renee, don't listen to the people who do not understand about the history of the 1900. Please go back so we can hear more history of his life. For you to go in the right direction is a bigger Blessing for you. God Bless you Renee. Go back and find more history out there. Stay safe and healthy. Maria. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖🌹😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
I am so happy for you! I grew up in a small steel mill town (Steelton, PA) and sports were everyhing! First football game was in 1893. Our high school, Steelton-Highspire High School (Steel High Steamrollers) played Saturday afternoon football games and the stands were packed! Businesses were known to close and put up signs that they were going to the game. Bygone era and so many awesome memories! Thrilled to know you will be able to go back and hear many more stories about a town and traditions that you love!
@@rollerball1972 My Dad's father grew up in Pittsburgh. His names was Vitus Aloysius (Ritz) - 1901-1955. His parents were Christian (John / Pap) & Maria Teresa (nee Koeper). He had brothers John & Edward and sisters Gertrude, Agnes, Frances, Teresa, Marie & Catherine. Edward died in Dunkirk, New York in 1939 (drowned, I think). Think the rest were around Pittsburgh but not sure.
If the uniform won't be passed down through the family, he should ask the school if they would like it for their display cases. Failing that, see if the local library would like it for display. It needs to be hermetically sealed to protect it from moisture & insects. These people you were meant to meet, and their treasures to preserve. Congratulations - so happy for you! 👍💯
I know that the niece was interested in keeping the uniform in the family, but agree that if later on it is decided to move it along, the school would be a wonderful place for it.
Goes to show things happen for a reason and at the time they were meant to. So happy for you and I really appreciate your respect of the family. They were able to turn the loss of the sister to a positive sharing of their memories.
Well, another ‘meant to be’ moment! When you meet up with the family again please take a recorder or film the occasion. (if they are happy for you to do this). His memories need to be recorded for others to hear too, or just to keep in your collection.
I was so excited for you! How amazing to be able to find so many memories from such friendly, kind people. Your channel is always fresh and fun. And your exchanges with the family, the respect you showed to them ~ all I can say is that you are one classy lady, Renee. PS I love that cute top on you.
Your respect and joy in learning his story are so contagious. I think you are right in focusing on th3 history, not the potential sale value. And when people trust you, they’ll come back to you. There will be your success.
This video makes me feel a little better, when I was feeling a little sad. Your being sooo happy about something, made me feel your happiness.. if that makes sense.💞
Renee, when you get back to that house with all the P items in it please do another video with all your items (plus any new ones too) as some of us would be happy to see the collection even though they have no value to most of us.
Great to see how much the local history , the school and sports tradition was so important to you and those folks garage sale. To have such an accumulation of pin-backs and programs and family collectibles is very rare to find, but to have the first hand history behind it from someone class of '48, is incredible (90 year old gentleman?). Boxes of sports programs, the old baseball uniforms over 100 years old, all very much sought after by sports collectors. That Eagles Browns 1959 program at Franklin Field, the 1960's college football programs , all very nice items that are not easily found in such quantity.
I could feel your excitement! How lovely for that man to share his treasured memories with you and you to buy some things that truly mean something to you. Really enjoyed watching this x
I know how you feel. Living in Bethlehem township and going to church in warren county, I knew how into it everyone was. My girls cheered and did band at north. We were football and wrestling fans. Go liners! Happy for your find.
Thanks for sharing this video with us. It means a lot to hear how willing the fellow was willing to share with you. I love to listen to elders to hear abut the history. So thanks again.
What can I say, what a moving and emotional video. Thank you for sharing this wonderful video, you were so respectful to this family and their stories and it gave me great joy.🇨🇦
Bless that man's heart. Such a sweetheart and he had to have been around 91 y/o. I could listen to older people all day. I inspected nursing homes for 15 years. Love older people and their history! You can't put a price on that!
I remember playing scrabble with my mom and inherited her game when my kids were little. They are grown, we downsized and moved and I couldn't find the game. It made me sad and then I found a vintage scrabble board and box and bought it. It's for display and just makes me happy thinking of mom when I see it.
Renee! I love watching the filming of you actually searching through the yard sale offerings and through the shelves at thrift stores! Don’t think that are boring!! I don’t comment very often, but I love your videos and watch you all the time. I love your sweet enthusiasm! Keep up with your dream, sweetie!
What a completely wonderful day!! To sit and listen must have been incredible and I am very jealous!!! My father Dutch immigrant moved from Hawthorne NJ to work here in Los Angeles. He worked for Carpenter Steel now Carpenter Technology out of Reading for almost 40 years. He was a legend in the specialty steel world and I was so proud when someone would say oh you’re Richard Steylings daughter. Even his sales awards from the 30’s are dear to me.
Those are the best memories Renee. Kinda like family. I'm sure he loved chi chatting with you as well. You love history& you got some.👍 great job!☮♥️🥰🙏😁
How fabulous! (I took a little time after watching a video of disappointing treasure hunts, to send positive vibrations in your general direction. So I'm going to take a little bit of credit for your success. 😘😇😉) WooHoo!!
I'm a huge fan of you rummaging through items and finding treasures as you rummage, but this has to be my favourite vlog of yours ever. The joy and passion shown was a privilege to watch. And randomly stumbling upon such treasures and history made it even more magical. Just heart warming. What a guy! Hope you have a wonderful time when you pop back and visit this lovely family Xx
When you go back you should interview him and make a video that you can give to the schools historical society or group. Once he is gone, so are his memories. If you can record the memories, they will be preserved forever.
I think the most wonderful part of the yard sale was talking with the older man. Many people don’t talk with older people. They’re losing so much history by not listening. My friends mother lived to be 102. She had many fascinating stories to tell. I had a supervisor who had an elderly mother. I used to cut her hair. I also loved to talk with her. Her first date with her future husband was a John Phillips Sousa concert. She saw so many changes in her lifetime. I’m glad you found such amazing treasures. Thank you for always sharing your enthusiasm.
Someone needs to sit down with him and record his memories. Good book opportunity!
You found your people. You both speak the same language, talking about the school. You made their day and they made yours. Thanks for sharing your love of vintage things. Great video.
I'm going to guess that the older gentleman got just as much out of your visit as you did, if not more. There is nothing better than a willing audience that appreciates your stories and experiences. I'm sure he has told them over and over again, through the years, but to have someone who was so excited to see and hear his history had to have brought him great joy, as well.

I am so THRILLED for you and actually, the family, for the joy you ALSO gave Uncle Bill in reliving memories and sharing them. Its called Paycheck of the Heart many times over!!!
That was a HUGE God wink!! You were supposed to find those people and share in their stories. I can only imagine that that was as great a day for them as you!
What an incredible story and the fact that it was a random stop makes it so much more exciting. I'm so happy for you and your chance to aquire these items. Thank you for filming the engagement between you and the family. I hope you do get the chance to return and hear more stories. Don't apologize for loving what you love and being proud of who you are as a collector and reseller. Spoiler Alert-most of your viewers watch you because of your beautiful soul not what you resell 😉
I think you made the Gentleman's day.....elders have so much to share and sadly many aren't given the time you did to share 💗💗💗🥰❗
So many memories in that gentleman's head. You could talk to someone like that for hours and still not hear everything. That experience was priceless and can never be forgotten. It would be fun to go and just listen to him talk and record it, he is a treasure and should be treated as such.

They seemed like nice people, and YOU have integrity. “What’s meant for you will find you.” 🙂
I have to say that even though as an Australian i know nothing about American Football, this has to be my favorite video you have posted, just because of the pure joy it brought you
I fell in love with Uncle Bill, and I know you did too. I hope you keep in touch with him and his family. He is better than an old family album!
"Better than an old family album" - love that phrase!
Holy Susie Stateline, that was a Pburg extravaganza! How very wonderful for you and for the man who got an opportunity to tell his story. SCORE!!!!
How kind of you to let Uncle Bill share his life story with you.
You have to go back and film it. If they allow would be so interesting
You handled that family and their memories elequintly. You probably could have been there talking and telling stories all day. Maybe there is a museum the Baseball uniform and photo could be in one day. Enjoyed you enthusiasm. Job well done.

What a great video. I’m not crazy about garage sales either. Congratulations on your great finds. 👍❤️
So happy for you. I could tell in your voice that you were so glad to find all that treasure from the school you attended.
You made that guys day! Kindred spirits:) Memories and traditions like these are so great!
It’s a connection with others who have the same love of Philips-burg ,that is everything,,,,,🌹

I would record the history the man tells. The family and you will appreciate listening to it over and over. What a treasure he is 💕

What nice people! They were so excited to have someone to share their love with. A once in a lifetime sale for you!
Your sincerity and thoughtfulness with this family is wonderfully endearing. God bless and be with you always. 🙏🕊️🙏🕊️🙏🕊️🙏

Loved this..to listen to this man and lady tell their story. He was so happy to tell it. His crooked little shaking finger telling his legacy.... so wonderful for you to listen and to cherish his things for the future to come. That baseball uniform was amazing!
Its always nice to see high school football items preserved and passed on to other generations.Nice video.👍👍😃✌
This video is priceless! Document all of it, take photos, record conversations! history is yesterday’s stories. This would make the beginnings of a wonderful P-berg diary! Maybe you are meant to carry on his work.
Destiny, destiny, great score, Renée, this story was really touching ! Lots of personal memories und just more awesome items for your personal collection. Greets from GER, U.
What a great sale you stumbled upon! The memories the man and wife shared with you are priceless, worth more than money to them and you. Thanks for sharing!
I am so happy for you that you found items that you can treasure. We all have our own type of items that we treasure so must of us understand your passion. Uncle Bill should be the guest of honor at Phillipsburg Day if you have one where he can share some stories. God Bless Uncle Bill what a treasure your town has in him. Thank you for being a thoughtful shopper when it comes to family treasures.
So lucky! We had our annual Hwy 38 garage sales. I found a bucket list item times 2! Digging in boxes, I found a paper mache Santa, 7 angel candles and my best ever find. In the last box were 2 paper mache jack-a-lanterns. SCORE for a whopping $2 for all!!
Awesome.👍💯
You were BLESSED Rene’! Your knowledge about vintage books, Christmas vintage items, linens, old paper etc is a wealth and helps me tremendously. 😊
The real treasure at the garage sale was the gentleman and all his stories. Loved how excited he was to tell the stories to someone who really wanted to hear them. If I could find some of my high school memorabilia I would snatch it up in a minute. I hope you keep in touch with this family. They truly enjoyed seeing and talking with you.
This was really touching. I remember when you got all those great vintage clothes that fit you perfectly. You have a knack for stumbling upon some treasures.
Those are exactly the reasons why I love watching you Renee! Just being who you are!
Thank you!
@@PaperandMoose, maybe one day when I have extra money and a car again, so i can drive to the post office. I am considering putting my old pictures and some of the little paper work I brought from Germany and sent it to you. My kids don't care about my things and pictures. And maybe add the history to pictures and the paper work. I know with my kids and grandchildren my side of life will end with them. I always Loved history and still do. I never get tired listening to the old folks what they have to share. Renee I Love your videos and often or not it brings back good memories when I was younger. Thank you for sharing your videos with us. I Love how excited you get and how happy you look. Even I never met you and probably never will. I just want to say, I Love you.
This was one of those meetings of minds that are heavenly when happens. I love your ethics and I love your passion for what you love. What a lovely connection that, because of your ethics and passion, you will now get to talk to them and see their collection again. Fantastic video Rene x
The perfect person (you) found these treasures and I’m sure they were as thrilled as you for someone to have them that appreciates them so much and for taking the time to hear about their memories and share yours!
So happy you got a great garage sale and great finds. Happy shopping on this last day of summer.
Your heart is in the right place Rene. So enjoyed seeing and hearing your excitement over the Phillipsburg memorabilia. Listening to the elderly man probably made his day sharing with you his memories. So HAPPY for you!! Enjoyed this video!!
I loved this the main thing was to see your eyes sparkle & that beautiful smile,to see the happiness it brought to you I believe in fate to so hope you go back to see the lovely gentleman but don’t leave these things to long Renee time is of the essence. Keep smiling sending you love and prayers always, please keep safe xx❤️🙏🏻🇬🇧
I totally understand! How exciting for you...I wrote books on my dads family and my moms family going back generations...and where they lived so anything I find related just is the best feeling! All worth so much more than money.
AWESOME-All good comes to those who wait! You were meant to be there
at that sale, at that time! So happy for you, and I can relate to the emotional
aspect also! I think most of us resellers look for items, from a previous time,
to remember how happy life was, and still is! Lovely Video-made me remember
wonderful memories of a younger me!
Rene you are truly a rare heart a true treasure. Thx
Wonderful Renee. The joy you brought to the family and to your followers is priceless. ❤️
These are the garage sales I love.. learning local history and getting to listen to the elderly tell their stories and relive their memories. Thank you x
Hi Renee. I enjoyed the histories of the old man who gave the best story of his life. Renee, don't listen to the people who do not understand about the history of the 1900. Please go back so we can hear more history of his life. For you to go in the right direction is a bigger Blessing for you. God Bless you Renee. Go back and find more history out there. Stay safe and healthy. Maria. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖🌹😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

These people you were meant to meet, and their treasures to preserve. Congratulations - so happy for you! 👍💯
I know that the niece was interested in keeping the uniform in the family, but agree that if later on it is decided to move it along, the school would be a wonderful place for it.
Goes to show things happen for a reason and at the time they were meant to. So happy for you and I really appreciate your respect of the family. They were able to turn the loss of the sister to a positive sharing of their memories.
This video gave me chills and brought tears to my eyes. Just beautiful!
Hi Rene, Wow so happy for your finds. It was meant to be. Hope we get to see your next visit with the family. Stay safe 😷 & ✌
Ok this seriously pulled on my heart strings. How wonderful for you to meet these people ❤️❤️❤️❤️ you were meant to be there ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love when your eye light up when talking about the things you love
Well, another ‘meant to be’ moment! When you meet up with the family again please take a recorder or film the occasion. (if they are happy for you to do this). His memories need to be recorded for others to hear too, or just to keep in your collection.
I was so excited for you! How amazing to be able to find so many memories from such friendly, kind people. Your channel is always fresh and fun. And your exchanges with the family, the respect you showed to them ~ all I can say is that you are one classy lady, Renee.
PS I love that cute top on you.
Your respect and joy in learning his story are so contagious. I think you are right in focusing on th3 history, not the potential sale value. And when people trust you, they’ll come back to you. There will be your success.
This video makes me feel a little better, when I was feeling a little sad. Your being sooo happy about something, made me feel your happiness.. if that makes sense.💞
I love it when folks talk about there memories with you while shopping. You learn so much.😊
Renee, when you get back to that house with all the P items in it please do another video with all your items (plus any new ones too) as some of us would be happy to see the collection even though they have no value to most of us.
This is such a great channel, Renee. I now have such a great appreciation of everything vintage. 💖
Thank you so much!
Great to see how much the local history , the school and sports tradition was so important to you and those folks garage sale. To have such an accumulation of pin-backs and programs and family collectibles is very rare to find, but to have the first hand history behind it from someone class of '48, is incredible (90 year old gentleman?). Boxes of sports programs, the old baseball uniforms over 100 years old, all very much sought after by sports collectors. That Eagles Browns 1959 program at Franklin Field, the 1960's college football programs , all very nice items that are not easily found in such quantity.
How wonderful for that gentleman to share his stories and history.
I could feel your excitement! How lovely for that man to share his treasured memories with you and you to buy some things that truly mean something to you.
Really enjoyed watching this x
I’m so happy you found the P-burg stuff. It was meant to be! I generally don’t have much luck at garage or yard sales either.
You were so sweet & gracious, Renee. I know that you made him incredibly happy that he was able to share & reminisce with you. 😊💖
I know how you feel. Living in Bethlehem township and going to church in warren county, I knew how into it everyone was. My girls cheered and did band at north. We were football and wrestling fans. Go liners! Happy for your find.
Thanks for sharing this video with us. It means a lot to hear how willing the fellow was willing to share with you. I love to listen to elders to hear abut the history. So thanks again.
What can I say, what a moving and emotional video. Thank you for sharing this wonderful video, you were so respectful to this family and their stories and it gave me great joy.🇨🇦
Renee!!! we were just talking about Phillipsburg merch yesterday! This is like finding a Viking horde in England for you. Congrats!!
It's so heartwarming to see some really LOVE the things they get ....I wonder if all collectors do,I bet not
Bless that man's heart. Such a sweetheart and he had to have been around 91 y/o. I could listen to older people all day. I inspected nursing homes for 15 years. Love older people and their history! You can't put a price on that!
You are right, I believe he said he was 93 years old. Sharp as a tack!
So amazing you were able to save those treasures
I remember playing scrabble with my mom and inherited her game when my kids were little. They are grown, we downsized and moved and I couldn't find the game. It made me sad and then I found a vintage scrabble board and box and bought it. It's for display and just makes me happy thinking of mom when I see it.
DEAR RENAE, This my favorite episode of all the viedos I have watched. I was so happy you found all these wonderful treasures
Oh that was wonderful Renee,so glad for you.
What a special experience! I'm so happy for you and the family.
It was destiny glad you found that yard sale
Renee! I love watching the filming of you actually searching through the yard sale offerings and through the shelves at thrift stores! Don’t think that are boring!! I don’t comment very often, but I love your videos and watch you all the time. I love your sweet enthusiasm! Keep up with your dream, sweetie!
What a completely wonderful day!! To sit and listen must have been incredible and I am very jealous!!! My father Dutch immigrant moved from Hawthorne NJ to work here in Los Angeles. He worked for Carpenter Steel now Carpenter Technology out of Reading for almost 40 years. He was a legend in the specialty steel world and I was so proud when someone would say oh you’re Richard Steylings daughter. Even his sales awards from the 30’s are dear to me.
Those are the best memories Renee. Kinda like family. I'm sure he loved chi chatting with you as well. You love history& you got some.👍 great job!☮♥️🥰🙏😁
Renee I love your hair,a little longer looks so cute.
How fabulous! (I took a little time after watching a video of disappointing treasure hunts, to send positive vibrations in your general direction. So I'm going to take a little bit of credit for your success. 😘😇😉) WooHoo!!
Wow how sweet for you great score happy for you
The Lord works in mysterious ways. What an awesome visit you had with "Uncle Bill". Maybe the high school should do a history display cabinet.
I'm a huge fan of you rummaging through items and finding treasures as you rummage, but this has to be my favourite vlog of yours ever. The joy and passion shown was a privilege to watch. And randomly stumbling upon such treasures and history made it even more magical. Just heart warming. What a guy! Hope you have a wonderful time when you pop back and visit this lovely family Xx
When you go back you should interview him and make a video that you can give to the schools historical society or group. Once he is gone, so are his memories. If you can record the memories, they will be preserved forever.
I think the most wonderful part of the yard sale was talking with the older man. Many people don’t talk with older people. They’re losing so much history by not listening. My friends mother lived to be 102. She had many fascinating stories to tell. I had a supervisor who had an elderly mother. I used to cut her hair. I also loved to talk with her. Her first date with her future husband was a John Phillips Sousa concert. She saw so many changes in her lifetime. I’m glad you found such amazing treasures. Thank you for always sharing your enthusiasm.
Hi Renee another video, it would be great if you could do an interview with this family. Take care.
