  • I've been looking for one of these since Jocelyn the Crazy Lamp Lady started buying them on her channel and I FINALLY found one, waaaaay up on the top shelf. I couldn't believe it was there!!!!!
    Hello Everyone! Its Tiffany with Thrifting Vegas. I shop at thrift stores, estate sales, garage sales and discount stores for items I can resell for a profit on online platforms like eBay, Poshmark and Offer-Up.
    Join me as I hit Goodwill for a Monday afternoon shop. The store was empty, and by the look of the shelves they were just getting ready to restock, but I found plenty of treasures and even a couple of 50% off blue tags!! Thrift with me and learn what to bolo and what to leave on the shelf and why. I found a set of ceramic persian cats from 1976, an amazing beaded copper wire Bonsai Tree, a woven basket, a turned pine wood goblet, a vintage Magic Mountain Theme Park Ashtray, a Vera Bradley cross body purse and a Seymour Mann ceramic Capo Di Monte Rose Basket!!!! Thanks to my friends Alex of ‪@chaptertwovintageco‬ for teaching me to look for Bath and Body Works collectables; and Yvon ‪@YvonThriftyRich‬ for all the yellow emoji happy face mugs I have sold! Stay to see everything I purchased in my haul featuring my cats Bandit and Ziggy. I show you everything I found, what I paid and what I expect to get for it.

    When I moved a few years ago, I donated my whole duck collection of around 100 items. From salt and pepper shakers to big cookie jars and everything in between. When I went into the thrift store a week later, my ducks had a 6 foot table dedicated to them in the center aisle. The staff put them all out at once. A man and woman were looking them over, I overheard him say to the woman 'I guess a crazy duck lady died'. 🤣🤣🤣

    The cat laying down with the ball of yarn has been in my family for as long as I have been alive. My grandmother made it before I was born...it's yellow lol. I remember always looking at it as a kid and secretly wishing it was mine. Well fast Forward many years and with the passing of my dad my step mom gave me the yellow cat. It was such a bitter sweet moment but I was happy to have it my possession. Now the yellow cat lives with me and it sits under an end table just like it lived for years when I was growing up😊

      The large cat is very similar to the one I have from my grandmas. The only difference is my cat's eyes are an iridescent/opalescence eye. My grandma had it as long as I can remember and I'm 50.

    Tiffany, the large cat was something that my mother painted in the early eighties. My father passed in 79 and prior to that, she was caring for him, so I know hers was done in the early eighties. She did a ceramics class just to get out of the house. The pieces were already created and fired, so you only had to go in and paint them (and the eyes, of course, were the biggest part of it) then they would glaze it for you and after 2 or 3 classes you were finished and could do another piece. I also have a pencil cup with a horse rearing on its hind legs that is attached that she also did. The coloring doesn't reflect much depth as far as the horse's body and mane go, but I still treasure it, because she made it for me.

    I find it interesting that those ceramic cats from the 70's/80's are such a huge hit now. My mom and I both made a set of those cats in the early 80's in a ceramics class and I let mine go at a garage sale about 10 years ago... I think I maybe got $5 for each of them. I made mine in a mother of pearl glaze and green eyes... they were beautiful.

    The galloping horses are my favorite piece from today's haul. They are gorgeous. The Mother cat and 2 small kittens are a set, she is very lovely. My mother got her set in the early 1970s, hand made by a local lady who gave green eyes and nylon whiskers to the mother cat. I still remember her joy and delight when she saw them. They now are fond remembrances of her for the 4 generations who have come after her.

    First time to your channel. Used to have an antique shop, stand alone, in Sacramento. I'm now 70 years old and don't move as well as I used to. Severe arthritis has put an end to those days. (My doctor actually attributes much of it to years of moving heavy furniture, from purchase to restoring to rearranging the shop, and carrying so many heavy boxes. It didn't matter if it was cut glass, heavy Heisey, depression glass, tools, primitives or cast iron. It seems every box was heavy. Unless it was all primitive tim items. Even paper items were heavy if you had many in a box.)
    I do, though, very much miss the days of thrifting, scouring, hunting and the thrill of finding. Although it was not so much in stores fo me, but sometimes, , it was more garage sales, street sales and we were often invited into whole estates either for pricing or purchase. Oh, and the treasures we'd find. Isn't it amazing what people have and take for granted or not know what they have? And sad in a way that even though the children often know how much something was valued by their parents that they have no interest in it. Often not even in keeping one item for sentimental reasons. However, In the long run I guess so much the better for us, right? I do miss the scavenger days of going through old barns and old buildings in the country and outer skirts of towns. I think I'm going to enjoy your channel.
    About the wooden goblet you plan to oil I'm thinking it looks like olive wood. Having visited Israel I know that selling olive wood items is quite a little industry there. The wood graining of olive wood is pretty distinctive. Once you know it, you spot it easily. Kind of like quarter sawn oak. You might check online for "olive wood pieces from Israel".Check out the beautiful graining. You might even be able to find the same one, depending on how long ago it was purchased or has continued to be produced. Now my eyes are not as good as the used to be especially when viewing your channel on my phone but I do believe it is Olive wood
    I look forward to watching more of your videos. Not only is it fun to see what you find it is nostalgic for me

      Hello Deborah and welcome to my channel! What an interesting message, thank you very much! Like you, I spend many hours lifting and moving heavy boxes, and I also love the thrill of the hunt when thrifting! I appreciate the olive wood information, thank you! Sending prayers for good health. 😊❤

    I couldn't believe that Patricia Nash you found, right after you said something like "oh, I never look at the purses" or something like that. I love Patricia Nash and I cannot afford her, but I did find a little wallet crossbody of hers, very good condition,brown, not painted, the next day at Goodwill.

    I have the exact same large kitty. My mom did ceramics in the Sixties and early Seventies. I believe my cat was painted in late Sixties, maybe 1965, 1966, 1967?? Mine is matte finish, bone color and antiqued in brown with green eyes. Love it!

    Shopping at Goodwill is so exciting to me. It's amazing what people give away of which they don't know the value. Especially near the wealthy section of town. I don't sell the items, I keep them!

    • @eileengoostree3631
      @eileengoostree3631 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I believe some original owners pass this earthly time and then their possessions end up at Goodwill. Some are downsizing and believe in helping others so off to Goodwill things go.

      I know a lot of items end up at thrifty stores when someone passes away. Of course not all items but it happens quite often. Cherish them and give them a good home. It’s what they would of wanted ..

    Love the kitties! My Grandma had all of those! I went thrifting today and come across 2 life size roosters at $10 each. They're beautiful and in perfect condition. Got home with them and decided to look them up. The bottom has the green felt on the bottom to keep them from scratching furniture and/or floors. Found them both and they're Fitz and Floyd! They're selling for around $225 - $250+!!!! Of course I'm not selling them but was never so ecstatic to find the treasures were quiet valuable vintage pieces! To think I was considering painting them grey to incorporate them into a French Country decor! Happy hunting and good luck

    It's so interesting to watch and see you find what you call "vintage" and we had in our ceramic shop. In the end we had over 8000 molds. Our classes were teaching from greenware to finished piece. My grandmother started in the 50's and my Mom and I ended in the 90's...so sad what it has become.

    Everytime I see a Video like this all I can think of is the Show "HOARDERS"!! That's how those ppl get their Houses so junked up! They buy stuff & say they are "Collectors" or will resell for Profit, but never do! I've been in Charity Shops at various times & I can never get past the Smell of Old Items & the Depressing Spirit that's attached to the items! It's like walking into a refuse bin! 😱 Bravo to you if you can do it, successfully! I wish you & your Descendents (who would have to do a Clear Out if you get sick or pass away) all the best!! 😊🌷🐤🐇

    That white cat is also a project piece. I painted one in the 70's to look like my cat at the time. Unfortunately it got broken on one of my moves. It was the exact same mold as the one you found.
