Let's go antiquing! Today I am taking you along with my sweet friend Michele to Aurora, Oregon to check out the adorable small town. They are loaded with antique stores and Mid Century yumminess 😍

Floral designer here 🙋♀️ Girl, you gotta take the leaves off the bottom of those flower stems! Any leaves that will end up inside the vase touching water go rancid quickly. Detritis will turn the water and cause the rest of your flowers die more quickly. Just a tip to keep your blooms lasting longer, and your water from getting smelly! - Ellen
Thank you for the tip! I have always wondered why my flower water starts smelling so rancid! Now I know, thanks!!
My favorite piece is the bird necklace. Gorgeous!!
Isn’t it amazing 😍
Love your enthusiasm in the videos as it makes them a joy to watch. The cuff bracelet with the large turquoise stone almost looks more like an Opal with 3D effect !
The straw hat looked adorable on you.
Laura, your bird looks a little fishy... like that cat on the computer 🤣
💻 🐈💻🐈💻🐈💻🐈💻🐈
Yes so excited 🥰
How did you find the jewelry estate to buy?
I love the ring hope i can avail. Please let me know how. Sending love from the philippines. Stay Safe and God Bless.
You can use a floral putty (green) to help hold your flower frog to the container you are using. It's waterproof and you need just a little bit. It adds extra security that your flower won't knock the vase over.
Your "turquoise" bracelet with the large oval stone is chrysacolla, also called Parrot's Wing. It's a beautiful stone, usually a combination of several different minerals - turquoise, malachite, jasper, azurite. I designed a quilt around a piece I bought at the yearly gem and mineral show a few years back.
Chrysacolla is a favorite stone of mine! I thought the same thing, but IDK much about the different kinds of turquoise.
Looks like you and Michelle had a wonderful day. I wish I got a better look at that gold dress Michelle bought - it looked stunning. You got so many beautiful things, but that teeny, tiny flower frog was so perfect!
The hat looks so great on you
All your hats are cool. Love what you do. Wish you put out daily videos
I immediately thought "bird"... it looks like a dove! LOVE the sand cast ring!
I love that you give us addresses for the shops especially for those of us love in Oregon. I agree with you about metal frogs and I pick them up whenever I find them especially at prices you found. I also use them in groupings to hold small cards on my bookshelves.
Floral Clay is a knead-to-soften, gummy, reversible sticking agent; works great for adhering floral frogs and is absolutely removable,. It holds just fine for as long as you want it to, but it is not a permanent bond or glue that will devalue the vase/arranging dish or mess up a flower frog. Super fun shopping trip! Thanks for taking us along XO
I remember using the floral clay and frogs when I was a kid. I couldn’t remember what it was called though.
The little glasses are Swanky Swigs! They are from the 1930’s through the 1950’s. Kraft made processed cheese and used these for the packaging.
The jewelry is always my first attraction. Turquoise. Turquoise. Turquoise! Really enjoy your channel.
Would have loved to see Michele's dress. The fabric looks gorgeous and the color is lovely too.
She’s going to do some hemming to it so maybe I can get a peek at it when it’s done to show how it turned out 😄
@@leftcoastrevivals Thank you. From the quick glance I got, the fabric looked stunning,
Hi Laura, great finds. Yes, was thinking that the sterling silver pendant looked like a dove. 🕊🕊🕊
I absolutely loved the sandcastle polar bear sterling ring. Gorgeous!
You have the gift of discerning, what goes well together. Love your choices of items. Look forward to your video’s 🥰
Oh, man... I wanna go to Oregon... even with all that damn heat.
Best antique shops ever.
its unusual weather never that hot its always perfect
@@carollacoste532 been watching the news & it's just awful to see so many people sick due to heat exhaustion in the northwest. I've been praying for people like crazy. My bestie moved to Idaho, my cousins are in Washington and Oregon. I've visited and absolutely loved it up there. But Laura finds the best stuff & I just want to spend 2 wks thrifting up there. If only I had the time and money.
I just moved to the Oregon coast from San Diego and the antique stores and thrift stores are awesome!!
The cat on the laptop with typing sound effects made me laugh out loud. Thanks for taking us on another adventure. You are just delightful! Xo
I live in a condo and was watching this Laura vid after 2AM; when the typing cat came on it caught me off guard and I must have wakened the entire building with my laughing!
@@dorothyrobdau9626 😂❤️
Hilarious!😂
@@sharleybarnes7627 😹❤️
I would buy some plastic inserts for your lovely pots, so the water doesn't damage them, especially the older ones and cracks them. Amazon probably has them for cheap. Love your channel.
Doesn’t matter to me what you purchase,how much, etc…I simply enjoy “the hunt,” learning about these beautiful mid-century pieces - what to look for, pay attention to, markings…🤷🏽♀️🥰you’ve made me rethink my whole home aesthetic!
I just discovered Ikebana last month at a garage sale. Someone had this weird looking abstract vase with four spouts on it for $1.00. No markings or signatures on it - just remnants of a sticker on the bottom. Something told me to grab it even though I didn't know if it was old or modern. For just a buck, I had nothing to lose. Well, I ended up selling it on Etsy for $125 within two hours of listing it!!! Like you said, you learn something new every day!
Thats wonderful! Congrats on such a great find 🙌
@@leftcoastrevivals Thank you, Laura. After it sold so quickly I did more research on it and I probably could have sold it for more than the $125 but, hey...live and learn, right? On another note, I'm just watching you show your new silver and turquoise jewelry. Would you mind, in a future video, telling your viewers how to tell real turquoise from fake? Sometimes I see stones that are polished smooth (like on that big bracelet) and I always wonder, "Is that real turquoise?"
Thanks for putting out such great content, Laura! I very much look forward to your videos. I live in Salem and am in the thrift stores a lot. I hope I get the pleasure of bumping into you sometime. I can tell that you're a very sweet and friendly human being!
@@ryders_mom I asked her to do a video on turquoise once too. I hope she does!
Love the light fixture with the blue glass. It's stunning. I'm on a business trip today but took a minute to stop by a thrift shop. I got a 70s era green wavy glass bowl (mass produced but still really cool) for 50 cents!
I love how you type out the names of the places and addresses. I go back in the video to take screen shots of ones I want, to save for my future visits. I live in central California so trips up would be fairly easy. Thank you for that!
Im so obsessed with your channel!!!! 🙌🏽
I was always wondering what the weighted spiky things were when I would see them at estate sales. Now I know thanks to you. They give the flower arrangement a really cool look in some great pottery. Thanks for sharing this Laura.
You never cease to amaze me. You have such an inspirational spirit. Keep up the good work and I’m sure you will be rewarded.
Sometimes you were moving the camera a little fast scanning. Made my eyeballs go wonky. Other than that loved your video
Go to the top right on the screen, tap the three dots for a drop down menu and adjust the playback speed.
Not a bird. I see an angel fish!
I see a fish🦘🐨❤️wow the jewellery stunning 😘
Love your videos the best!!! I saw the dove bird, and I think the stone in the bracelet is not turquoise, I think it is Chrysocolla... check it out!! Laura Blessings to you and Jessie. How is the house sale going! I know you are anxious to get into the new house!! "Pam the Hand" ✋️💕🙋Happy 🇺🇸💥🗽💥💥💥💥4th of July too!!
I remember that my Mom bought
pimento cheese in those little glasses.
Your shows just keep getting better & better!!
That was fun! The pottery and flowers look stunning! Love the Amethyst Cross, gorgeous piece. 💚✌️🍀
I agree, that amethyst cross was designed perfectly!
Love the MCM store !!! I wish we had one here in Ohio . I see pieces on and off but to have an entire store that sells that is wonderful !!! I think I would spend all day shopping !!!
Are you far from Canton, Ohio? There’s a store I’ve always wanted to visit called Main Street Modern.
I think you may have mistaken the bracelet with the turquoise stone. It may be Australian opal. What do you think?
I thought it was Chrysocolla Stone......check it out! "Pam the hand"
I could just watch you thrift all day!
ETA: looooooove those earrings you have on in the car. Gorgeous!
Thank you! New from my jewelry estate buy 😄
Been lookin' for u to show up... Love goin' with you shopping.. You find the coolest things-thanks.... granny franny
Those canisters were not Art Deco era. They are from turn of the century..like 1905 - 1920.
Those little glasses once held Kraft cheese.
I loved the wood and brass lamp. Gorgeous
Wonderful antique stores! I could spend hours and hours perusing in them! Thanks for taking us along.
My absolute favorite thing was the cobalt blue and wood lamp!! There were some awesome lamps in the mid-century antique store I instantly fell in love with- the ENTIRE store actually! lol! Thanks again for sharing! (Love your nail color btw!!!❤❤❤😊)
The listing you shared said “dove pendant”. Thanks for sharing your outing and finds!
The sterling silver cuff with the large turquoise stone was magnificent
Love flower frogs. I am from the South and they are not so easy to come by anymore. They are very versatile for other uses such as putting vintage postcards or pictures in also.
Another great video..you are a natural...I been staying away from thrifting and antiquing I need to sell what I have at my Yard Sale coming up next month..I need to thin out my hoard...LOL
The bear ring is “Golden Bear “in Aspen - the bear is their symbol for all their jewelry!
I have a Panama hat and I love the weight of it and the weave! Enjoy!
I bought my hat like your in the Riviera Maya at a shop that only had hats from Panama. I love my hat.🐝
Thanks for sharing ,Laura. You make me look at vintage in a new way.
That lamp with blue glass……❤️
I can’t stop thinking about it 💙💙💙
Yea! You've officially made my day! 💙
😄 Happy to hear it! Hope you enjoy the episode ❤️
Mine too!!
Love the SWANKY SWIG glasses! Also, my mom loved to make floral arrangements and I just inherited her flower frog collection. She only used the heavy metal frogs, but always secured them with floral putty (clay?) so the flowers would fall over.
Omg i need to look for inserts for my pots. Thank you so much for sharing sis. We appericate sis. You make my day every time i watch your videos sis. Love you sis. 💖❤💖❤💖❤💖❤💖❤💖❤
Yea road trip with Michele. The jewelry pieces are amazing! And your hat looks lovely on you 👍🏻
I was in Aurora today at some of those shops. I even saw my first penguin ice bucket at one.
Haha nice! 🐧
I look forward to your shop visits, I learn so much. I mainly love your enthusiasm when you find the "it" thing. That unusual green pot that didn't have a signature was a favorite. The texture on the green pot just did it for me. Maybe you could show Michelle in her gold dress in your next video!
Keep doing you!💗
It sure was a neat pot!
Necklace...yes, definitely see a bird or an angel fish, side view.
Laura, what was the musical piece played at end of video?
I’d like to know as well if you don’t mind.
You must be an Aries. You have purchased ram jewelry several times. Do you wear bloodstone?
Michelle is a very lucky lady to have you as a friend. Laura,you are a wonderful and beautiful person, inside and out. And you have an impeccable taste! I always look forward to watching your videos ! God bless you and your family always!
💓💓💓 this episode! Loved all the stores! Agree with you about shopping in antique stores to learn about vintage. Hope you're staying cool. Be well.
Laura your jewelry is absolutely gorgeous. Which is something I would never ever be able to afford but I do love looking at it!
When will you move into your new house?
We close this week 🙌 We’ll find out move in date here shortly 😄
I have a high school friend who has lived in Aurora for years. His wife owns Time after Time. Beautiful little town
Just FYI: it only takes a short time in open air for sterling silver to oxidize (patina). I only know this from designing jewelry. I purposely will leave out a batch of sterling chains to oxidize to achieve that antique “blackish” tone. Within a few weeks it starts to turn. Just wanted you to know in case that helps w research.
*TIP: for my fellow jewelry lovers. I buy anti-tarnish tabs (paper) that come in boxes (variety quantities) for relatively cheap & leave them in the bottom of the box of whatever piece I do not want to tarnish. ✌️❤️
Good evening I’ve been waiting for you.🧐
Laura, loved seeing those fabulous mid century lamps with those incredible shades, and the Heywood Wakefield furniture. Also the shot of those gorgeous poppies was a delight, as was the furiously typing kitty 😻😆 Your videos are always so professional and full of treasures! 👍🌟🐈🌻
Loving all your beautiful "Eye Candy" you found in your silver/turquoise jewelry finds! You Rock as always!
Stunning jewelry! Yes, I can see the bird:)
Omg the blue globe lamp 🤗!
I loved the flower frog lesson. Thanks. My favourite find was the trinket box. I have so many as well - it may be a problem!! Also, you found some stunning jewellery. Love it all.
That designer jewelry piece looked like a bird to me. Ive bought lots of jewelry from you and will watch Friday to see if I can get into more trouble. I loved the brass trinket box. Stay safe. Cant wait to see your rooftop Little Italy garden. Love you bunches.
Laura, you are always beautiful; but, your eyes look incredible today. You can always glue washers to the plastic ones to weight them down. Have an awesome day!
I love all your videos and the inspiring pieces and eclectic styles you find! An idea for a video- the ins and outs of estate sale shopping. How to find them? What to look for? Finding deals? What’s worth splurging? Those jewelry pieces you picked up are incredible 😍
love your mask looks hand done where did you get? share please
This was so much fun! Thanks for taking us along. So many geeat things, 11:32 & 15:45 were two of my faves. Thanks for the bonus Japanese flower arranging at the end, I'm inspired!🌺🌹🥀
I would love go traveling with you to all these vintage shops love watching you ❤️👍 Australia xx
Thank you for demonstrating how the pieces are used in the vase - never heard of them until today.
The mid-century store is amazing. I collect vintage barware and she has the best Culver and George Briard pieces.
Hello Laura. I love your style and your channel. It's so much fun shopping along with you.
TFS
As soon as I saw the pendant, I thought it looked like a dove. The big blue stone in the cuff bracelet is beautiful; I’m wondering if it is an opal instead of turquoise? I would have brought the wicker chair home with me. You have so many amazing stores in your area.
Luv shopping with you. You are soo sweet & kind & have a great personality. And ur a fabulous decorator. Have a great week.🌻🌻🌻
It looks like a dove to me. I saw that before you even started talking about it.
Hi Laura, bello video y en compañìa de Michelle mucho mejor, las dos son hermosas y las compras de aqui... geniales. Abrazos desde Tijuana MÈXICO.
Super fun! Love the jewelry. Thanks for sharing!
I love all your videos! Because I learn so much with you, but I don’t know why you don’t have new ones? Thank you for Alabama
At 27:52 Minutes, you are picking up the little clip on badges you would get when you paid to go into a museum in the 1970s, 80's or 90's. I wish a saved all mine from the MET, but they were throw-away pieces. The ones you are picking up look exactly like the ones from the MET.
Thanks for bringing us along while you find great treasures. Your videos are very informative and I am learning a lot. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for joining us Michelle.... I love it when we get to hang out with both of you
P.s. Laura remember to check your Messenger on FB.... I left you a message
Laura, I am going to ask you to go on a mission. If you choose to accept it...I have a larger than average head and can never seem to find a hat to fit me. I love everything you love. I'm not kidding. I would love anything you could find. My head is like, 23 inches in circumference. It's crazy! I swear, if you find it, I'll buy it! Thanks! Tammie
Love the opal bear earrings. How can you tell real from fake opal?
Wow, you're in my neck of the woods! So many shops and goodies and eye candy as far as the eyes can see! Always come home with something!
Wish it were the original group,!!!
After watching ur flower arranging, I want to find some "frogs" n give it a go! Never ever thought of even attempting it, but thanks to u...i think i can, i think i can, i know i can, i can!!!!
Just found you! Loved when you and Vintage Bombshell made videos together! BUT I love your channel too! Please keep up the great work!
I wonder if the crescent shaped frog can sit next to a circle to make a wider/larger arrangement?
