    The mission thrift shop in Belleville Ontario is an amazing second hand shop. The better quality items make it worthwhile checking out. The staff are all volunteers, and so helpful. They give their profits after expenses to support the missions. Love that

      Yes it's a great organization! Our local Calgary one near me is also volunteer run. So glad they opened up close by.

    I love Mission Thrift Store in Red Deer. Really good prices and usually they have 50% off a colour tag on Mondays. They recently started a rewards program as well. Unfortunately they don’t have a big enough space for big furniture. You scored with that teak hutch! Love it.

    . I really like the brass planter set. Loved all the silver-plate trays I didn't notice the prices.

    • @bluehousevintage
      @bluehousevintage  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yay me too! I haven't seen a set like that before so I figured it was worth the splurge! The planter set was $20 and the Egyptian tray was $15 - I passed on it but looking back I should have taken the chance on it.

    I just discovered your channel, I subscribed and have been binge watching. Hi from near Ottawa Ontario. 👋
    I have a You Tube channel where I thrift shop and decorate. I don’t resell, just shop for myself.
    Wanted to say I love the options you have for thrifting, I have to travel at least 20 minutes to find thrift shops or antique stores. One of the largest ones is Value Village, but they have raised their prices so much, it is hard to find a deal.
    Keep up the good work, I am truly enjoying your channel😊. Marlene
    P.s. I love the flower frog ❤

    I just got to the creepy mobile part- I was literally laughing out loud! Yes!!!! Its super creepy😂
    Maybe like, it used to be colorful or something and its worn off??
    I found your channel a few weeks ago. I like all the videos I've seen so far! I like that you seem genuine and - idk- not overly edited.
    I'm new at reselling. I've had a tiny tiny corner in a local antique store for about a year, but am going to be able to move in to an actual booth space next month!! I've never sold online, but I want to! I don't know why, but I'm intimidated by the thought of it- which is how I started watching TH-cam videos of other resellers.
    Anyway, I appreciate your channel.

    • @bluehousevintage
      @bluehousevintage  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Thanks for the sweet compliments, Nathan! Congrats on your booth - that's super exciting. Definitely would be something I would love to be able to do one day. And it's so funny about the mobile - one of my subscribers said she would buy it so I went back and got it and it's already shipped off to her! So goes to show - the really unique items truly are ones to look for!
      Hope you keep watching!

    I had a silver shell like that. It is for butter or Kaviar. Normally there should be a matching glas plate in it , some even come with a little knife . As I don’t have the time to carb my butter into little flakes and drape that into the shell and don’t like Kaviar, I put bath bombs in it and put it onto the bathroom window sill. Unfortunately it didn’t take long until it rusted.

    • @bluehousevintage
      @bluehousevintage  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Oh really that's interesting! Nice to know for next time. The bath bomb idea was cute, too bad it didn't work out. Thanks for watching and for the tip on the shell, I appreciate it!

    I'd like to see more French Country decor. Especially artwork. It's very difficult finding nice French Country artwork. I wished you had picked up that candle holder that had the amber glass in the middle. I would have snatched that up right away. The shakers are definitely copper.

    • @bluehousevintage
      @bluehousevintage  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I'm going to have to go back in the video and remind myself about the candle holder with the amber glass. French country is a bit harder to find in my marketplace - or maybe my eyes just aren't trained for picking it out? Thanks for the feedback and I'll definitely keep my eye open - and thanks for the tip on the copper shakers :)

    Where do I start… you did ask a lot of questions😂. As an estate sale, thrift store, antique shopper of many decades, I felt so bad for you #88! I have collected everything under the sun so I’m always looking for the unique, and unusual….I loved, loved, loved that mobile( not for a child’s room), and I would have purchased it from you in a heartbeat. No question it’s most likely a handmade artisan piece, possibly African. I don’t think you made a mistake leaving behind the Egyptian tray, but I would have taken the brass shell piece. The three brass planters, and the miniature kettle are very pretty. I too would have picked up that distressed wood block with the holes for sure…I can think of so many ways to use it. I love the six drawer teak dresser, that was a steal…in New York you couldn’t touch it for less than $200, and that would be considered inexpensive. I really dislike when a room looks like someone went into a store and bought everything. Adding pieces over time makes a home so much more attractive, and it’s rewarding. I have two 30x15 storage units packed to the gills. I’m not a reseller, but I’m thinking about having an estate sale so I can start all over again🤣🤣.

      I think the shell was an ashtray as there looked to be a hole in the side. I was yelling at the tv, “don’t leave it behind!” many times during the video and wishing I could control the camera for a second look. 😂 It was a great shopping trip, thank you!

    I find the Canadian thrift stores are getting a bit pricey. If you are a reseller there is not much meat on the bone left. I also find the people in charge of pricing are not very consistent. But seeing I am hooked on thrifting, it is what it is.

    • @bluehousevintage
      @bluehousevintage  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Totally agree- everything in Canada is just getting over the top in price. It’s very expensive to be a Canadian right now! But I guess we just need to look harder and be more selective!

    Hi🙋🏼‍♀️ I definitely would of picked up the brown or burgundy square flower frog, or whatever it is but that’s what I would use it for, also all the brass pieces, I was going to say I think you should pick up Mexican pottery I saw a couple pieces you left behind sometimes they are vintage and others not but either way it sells, a lot of vintage sellers also pick it up just because it sells well, only pieces aren’t that popular are the souvenir ones because they are mostly made for tourists to pick up even though I still like them the difference is they’ll say Mexico where you can see it and usually the designer pieces have a signature on the bottom. But anyways just a suggestion😊 looking forward your next one👏🏻😊

    • @bluehousevintage
      @bluehousevintage  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Thanks for the suggestion - I'll research Mexican pottery so I can know it when I see it. I'm glad someone likes the mystery square! I'll try it as a flower frog and see how that goes. Thanks for tuning in!

    All coffee cups/mugs are 24 cents at my local thrift store.I don't patronize Goodwill anymore. WAY out of my price range. My local cell afghans/quilts/blankets for $2 each. Sometimes half price!!! Talk about a thrift store. Their items are all donated and ALL sales go to needy persons.The people who work there are all volunteers. What a good Christian organization.😊😇

    • @bluehousevintage

      That sounds like an awesome thrift store. I personally think all the mugs and glasses should be 25 or 50 cents - there are so many of them! Sometimes the thrift stores here get very crowded with items because they are charging too much. Then it all goes to the goodwill bins and then to the dump. Sad.
