I have found this video to be so useful. I am an antiques dealer in Ohio and every Christmas season, I sell Christmas ornaments. Finding clear information on vintage Christmas is difficult to find in the vintage FB groups is difficult. You have saved me a lot of research and reading. Please do more!
Of all the videos dealing with identifying the age of Christmas ornaments, I found yours the most infomative and easy to follow. You ladies play off of each other beautifully; each contributing a new bit of information in a relaxed manner, and waiting until the other has finished before speaking. Of concern, though, is the fiance business: Take the plunge: you're meant for each other.....Cheers and best wishes, The Hamster.
Popcorn figures, tinsel, angel hair, mercury beads, folding figurines..paper, spun heads, German paper mache and Italian nativities, crèche. Any information on removing stickers from old painted surfaces. Be safe.
This is AWESOME!!! Thank you ladies! I wish you would do this at least once a month (like a series) and cover other things vintage maybe other holidays, vintage home decor, linens, toys etc. 😉
Thank you for all the useful information. I too love the Christmas ceramic pieces! I shop vicariously through the two of you when I watch your thrifting videos.
One of my favorite vids from u guys! Def do a part 2!! I’m obsessed w vintage Xmas too. Vintage everything!!!!! I hope u do another Xmas decorate w me vid!
Awesome info! Thank you and yes please make more video's like this! I also like to look at the bottom of a piece to see if it has wear or dirt build up if there's no mark. A modern piece is always a lot cleaner on the bottom. And about the crazing, if it's intentionally created on a modern piece it's often a very regular pattern all over the piece while real crazing on vintage pieces is irregular and sometimes only in certain spots.
Loved this, so informative! For a part 2 would love to hear about tree toppers, garland, spinners, and bubble lights. You two are reigniting my love for vintage Christmas!!!
Hi! Please have a part 2 of what to look for in vintage Christmas!! I love all your stuff and videos. I really enjoyed today’s video. Big fan of vintage Christmas so it’s a big yes for me. Take care and stay safe. ♥️🇨🇦
I've been collecting vintage Xmas for over 50 years and have found one of the main indicators of repop ceramics is weight. In most cases cheap, made in China reproductions, are made of lightweight ceramic that chip and crack easily. After you handle the old stuff for a while, the new is pretty easy to pick out.
Thank you so much Laura and Janine for this video. It was very informative. Your two are very knowledgeable. You both have some amazing pieces. I love everything. Thanks again. I would love to see more videos like this. Take care.
Thank you both SO MUCH for all the time and effort you put into this video! I really appreciate it and love learning about my favorite vintage collectibles 😍
Great video ladies! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. I have never seen an ornament with a paper cap. I love chenille figurines and spun heads.
This was so informative! Thanks ao much for your wealth of knowledge on vintage christmas! My neighbor recently moved, and he put out old blow molds for free! I took all three of them! I thought of you girls, so be proud of me.Thanks Theresa
I LOVED this video! It took me back to my childhood. I was born in the ‘60’s and we had many of the decorations that you showed. Thank you for such a well put together video. I’m now a subscriber.
You know a good teaching video when 1) you watch it all the way through. 2) you rewind to hear/see something again and 3) you take a screen grab or two. 😊 Really enjoying your channel and info sharing! I started my channel with the same intent... to share as I learn. Thank you!
WOW!!!....THIS WAS FANTASTIC!!!...thank you so much for doing this video....Ive been collecting glass ornaments for a long time because I think they are so pretty but I always look for the best bargains since I break at the very least one or two each time I decorate my tree.....oopsie!!....so no expensive ornaments for me......lately Ive been really loving ceramic pieces and have been keeping an eye out for them whenever I go thrifting and you gave me some wonderful tips on what to look for.....I love holt howard but they are so stinkin expensive....maybe one day Ill find some in the wild!!!..;-)....thank you so much for doing this and I look forward to the next one.......keep up the terrific work girls!!
Thank you so much Debbie!! We’re so glad you enjoyed! We hear you on the ornaments, they are very fragile! We do hope you find a holt Howard in the wild one day! 🤩 thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for this video. I just bought some vintage/old ornaments and I chose them by remembering some of your comments throughout your videos since this video had not come out yet. I live in England so it is more difficult to find holiday decorations here in the wild. But I found a few glass ones and I cannot thank you enough for pointing out the tops and all their differences. This video now has all the information in one place!!
What a super job you both did with this video. Excellent info with good illustrations and all of those wonderful "look for" hints. I'd love to see more, maybe under the tree Christmas villages, and other holiday decorations as well. Thank you!
Wow, I loved this video. I learned so much. You ladies were very informative. Keep up the good work. Maybe on another video you can talk about ceramic trees. 😍
I just picked up a huge container of vintage Christmas ornaments ($15.00 !!) and hit on this video during my research. Thank you ~~ I'm a new subscriber.
Fantastic video! Thanks so much for taking the time to explain all the fine points of separating vintage from newer ornaments. I would love to see more on hand blown glass olrnaments from Germany and Poland. I also appreciate the link below. Never knew there was that much information out there. You guys rock!
I love the shiny bright ornaments and the indented ornaments are my favorite. I still do my tree in the old traditional way. With the old C6 or C7 lights, and the very old traditional ornaments. I probably always well. I sure do miss the icicles! There’s no way I’m going to use those LED lights ever!
I LOVED this. You’re both so knowledgeable and provided such a comprehensive guide. I’m just getting into vintage Christmas and now I appreciate the holiday decor so much more :) can’t wait to hit the thrift stores again!
This is just Absolutely Amazing! The vintage indents are my Absolute favorites! Have some and would love to have more, Wish they still made them today, The ones today are just not the same 😢 Ty you for Sharing!
That was great! So helpful and informative. You both find the best holiday treasures, thank you for sharing your adventures with us. I have also learned a ton and so grateful for the TH-cam community.
Such a great topic Super Great Content!! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. Now we all have a Shiny Brite Education. Lots of Love and Kindness.
Very interesting. Thank you. I have several un-silvered WWII era ornaments but only one that still has it's paper cap. My favorites are the Shiny Brite mica ornament (with scenes or words), and I have several complete with original boxes. My most treasured ornament set though is eight porcelain angel bells made in Japan in their original box which came from my childhood and were always on our tree.
🤩🎅👼🎄🌟🕯️🤶🎇 THANK YOU SO MUCH for this video! Will watch it repeatedly! LOVED IT!🥳🤸♀️(I'd watch a 3 hour Special, "Let's Learn Vintage Christmas with Laura & Jeannine".🤩 Anybody else? 🙋♀️🙋♂️)
You both are so adorable I love it! Thank you so much for all the info. It will really help when out in the hunt. This will really help me keep an eye out for those characteristics. This could totally be a series and I’d love it!
That was awesome! It was very informative. I love watching, and rewatching your videos…there is always some new detail to find. Keep up the great work!😀
I REALLY enjoyed this video. You ladies are knowledgeable. I like how you both explain the difference between a vintage piece or a reproduction piece. I'm going to have to rewatch this video so I can take notes. YES, please make a Part 2.
Thank for this video! I learned so much! I think of you two when I am on the hunt for vintage Christmas decor! Now I know how to identify the items I come across! Do more please!!
This video should win an award for doing such a good job of imparting so much information about such a fun subject. Thank you!
That is so sweet! Thank you!
Next... vintage light sets and fabrics (tree skirts, tablecloths, stockings, etc.) 😊
