Absolutely love everything you found on your trip. So many great ideas to use that brass base glass bowl. Use them to hold my face cloths in my bathrooms all the time. I change my different glass containers out quite often lol. Excited to see new candle collection this fall.
Oh my gosh right?! I thought so too!!! 😍 And you are too sweet! I just saw your shop order come through for a couple of pieces from the vintage market collection! I’ll pack that up and get it on it’s way to you this week! Thank you so much for supporting the shop and being excited for the candle collection, I appreciate you! 🥰❤️
@@brookesimplybliving I've always thought that these frilly decorative glass dishes would make stunning candles. So glad someone is actually doing it!! It would be too expensive for the viewers overseas like me to get them shipped to UK though. But I'd love to watch how you will make them. Best of luck in your venture! Hope you get a nice little side business going. So much better to reuse older well made items than some cheap looking reproduction they use in modern candles, even the very expensive ones. Well done!♥️💖
Yes! This will be my second candle collection, I just love that it gives these unused glasses a new life! Unfortunately yes it’s too expensive to ship outside of the U.S. ( more than the candle is even worth!) but thank you so much for your encouragement 🥰
I live 15 minutes from Canton First Monday flea market. Yes! The fields in the back are the BEST place to get AMAZING deals. 🤗🤗 Such a treasure hunt. And the permanent vendors inside are such lovely people. For anyone going, be sure and check out Thee Olde Apothecary booth. You will not be disappointed. I can’t believe you were able to only show such a few minutes of your time there. 😁. It’s easily a two day experience!
Ohhh I wish we had known so we could have found that booth! Unfortunately we live across the country and were only there for one quick day! But you are totally right I could have spent the whole weekend there!
I will definitely have a vanilla! And I don’t use dyes so all my candles are light colored and classic for the glass vessels because I totally agree with you! 😉👌🏼❤️
I had that dish with the lid in blue. After I sold it I saw some on Etsy maybe or Pinterest with candle wax. I can’t wait to find more so I can make candles! They also come in amber The brass has carving because it comes from India. I love anything that looks like a trophy. A trip to a Flea like that is my favorite!❤
Yay! You found some gorgeous pieces! I’m partial to the glass ones…I can never pass up an old sugar bowl! That glass/brass one will look great wherever you put it, even empty. I’m glad you had fun…that place looked dreamy! 🥰
Thank you!! It was definitely a lot of fun! Wished I lived closer so I could have come home with some really stunning ( but large 😅) pieces but it was still fun to go and look! I definitely just have the glass and brass piece just sitting in the middle of my living room dresser because I need to just stare at it haha. 🤣🥰
I can tell by the parking lots that it was a slow day at Canton and I doubt all the vendors were even there. I go there quite often and am disappointed that you did not get to visit it at its peak but it has been so hot here in Texas. That will make one fancy candle holder!
Yes! The temperatures of over 100 definitely deterred people and vendors I think because a lot of the lawns were empty. Being from S.C. and used to high humidity we honestly didn’t mind the dry heat so much haha, and we still had a good time looking around. But I would love to see it in its full glory one day!
Wonderful idea to use glass pieces to make candles out of. I collect old quaint teacups and am getting ready to make some candles out of those. I would get a glass plate and put it at the bottom of the crystal/brass piece. Then stack pillar candles at different heights inside. You can add greenery and berries at Xmad time. 😁 The plate will catch the wax, and give the candles a flat surface to stand on. Maybe 3 pillar candles. You could also put it in a bathroom and fill it with beautiful soaps. Or again, put a glass plate inside and put in a hand soap and hand cream dispenser, etc. The sky is the limit. I love rumaging at flea markets fir bargains. But, yes, curated items are more expensive unfortunately. It takes the fun out of finding those afforable bargains. I love the crock, the sled, and all your finds. Of course you can style the sled with greenery and candles, add a pop of red with fresh red apples, twine, pine cones, white pillar candles at different heights. Look on youtube for Xmas decor ideas in Germany. Although I am English, they are brilliant with sleds and Xmas decor in general. I collect all the 2nd hand decor magazines to get ideas. Enjoy. Love from Germany. Janine 😁💖🤗
Oh my gosh thank you so much Janine! I LOVE that idea about putting the plate inside and using it as a candle stand! That’s such a great way to use that piece! And thank you so much for your advice on styling the Christmas sled! I love the idea of using berries and pinecones and nature elements! Thank you so much for watching and for your advice all the way from Germany!!! 🥰❤️
Thank you! I’m so glad you enjoyed it! And haha yes!!!! that’s exactly what I did🤣, I just have it sitting in the middle of my dresser in the living room right now because I don’t know what else to do with it yet and I just need to look at it 😍
That flea market looks like a dream! I would’ve definitely bought that gorgeous tramp art box at 3:50 🤩 I travel an hour to a similar big antique fair here in Malvern, England. Great vid as always ✨
@@brookesimplybliving Not as good as what you have in the US !! British are only just waking up to decorating with vintage and they are mostly young people in big cities who learn about it on Pinterest and Instagram. Or from American RUclips channels like yours. I'm probably one of the very few Brits of my generation (not revealing my age as Ladies never do ! Haha but I've frown up children) who even like older items as people of my generation and older are getting rid of this "junk". It goes to charity shops sold for half a dollar and still nobody buys it apart from me and a few of the younger women. And antique dealers who then sell it for a lot on Ebay etc... Sadly, a lot of it just gets thrown away 😫
That’s crazy that there isn’t the same demand for it there as here, here it’s getting fought over! Like it’s almost hard to find great true antiques here and when you do most people mark them up significantly because they know the demand!
Is there any way you could show an up close picture of the can of black paint that you use for all your painted wood furniture, it looks so good and does it hold up pretty good on all that you do, thanks if possible, I love to watch you, very talented?
Thank you so much! Believe it or not it’s just Walmart brand paint, basic semi gloss black. 🤣 but I would say it holds up pretty well considering I don’t typically don’t use primer or probably the right techniques to get it to be really durable.
I have always wanted to go to Canton Flea!! My mom and I are trying to plan a trip! We're definitely going to Round Top in the Fall, but will have to find our way to Canton soon too :)
Y’all have to go!!! Even if you bring home nothing it was still totally fun to look around! I’ve never heard of Round Top, where is that?! Because it sounds like that’s where I need to plan my next trip haha. Definitely let me know if y’all find anything good there!!!
@@brookesimplybliving Round Top is a little more of a splurge, also in Texas. Highly recommend you look into it - it is a huge Antique fair that they host 3 times a year. I think it is only a few hours away from Canton, TX
Wow! That’s incredible! To be honest I’m not local to there at all, but yes I do believe it’s referred to as trade days sometimes now but it’s still referred to as the first Monday market as well!
okay i been so busy with life that i havent had time to comment on ur videos in a while but...girl..i love that ribbed glass vase omg its beautiful! u definitely have to put that on display! i hope i can get one of ur candles too, i love all the pieces u found! i screamed with u lol🥰
Girl you are totally fine! I’m the one who took an unplanned summer sabbatical 😅 but I’m back and I’m just glad that you could enjoy the video! But getting to hear from you and talk to you too is icing on the cake 🥰❤️ As for the brass and ribbed glass piece…. RIGHT?!!! I died haha. And for the candle collection… I really hope you can snag one too! I don’t know the exact date but I do know I’ll be sending out early access a day or two before the collection launches to everyone on my B.Mail list, so make sure you’re signed up for that and you should have a good chance! Thank you so much for screaming with me at these finds! I hope you enjoyed this lil thrift trip 🥰❤️
@@brookesimplybliving im definitely going to sign up for your email list when i get home, and yes so excited for the next upload! ill see you in the next video🥰
Awesome! Let me know if you have any trouble signing up but you should be able to find the link in any of my video descriptions. But thank you so much for being here and watching the videos! I’ll see you in the next one!! 🥰❤️
@@brookesimplybliving i couldnt wait til i got home, lol i just signed up ( my name is Ashton btw lol)! have an amazing weekend and again ty for sharing another sweet video🥰
Oh my gosh you are the best ❤️ Thank you so much Ashton! I see you on the list so you are all set for first dibs when the time comes 🥰 I hope you have a wonderful weekend too!
In the description of any of my videos there should be a link to ‘join the B.Mail club” , that’s where you can sign up for the shop updates and early access so that when the collection launches you will be the first to know and have early access to shop it before anyone else! 🥰
The glass with Brass pedestal, I would leave it empty. Styling it on top of your $1.00 book on your Coffee table 😊
Ohhhh yes so pretty! I have it just sitting in the middle of our living room dresser so I can just stare at it whenever I want haha 🤣
Absolutely love everything you found on your trip. So many great ideas to use that brass base glass bowl. Use them to hold my face cloths in my bathrooms all the time. I change my different glass containers out quite often lol. Excited to see new candle collection this fall.
Ooooh it would be stunning in a bathroom! I love that idea!!! Thank you!
The dish with the lid is adorable! Can't wait to shop your candles. ❤

Thanks for the review! You also got a vintage Walmart bag, minute 9 🙂
Haha oh my gosh you are so right! I didn’t even notice!!!! 😮
I have a similar glass dish w/brass base. I fashioned a bird nest with neutral pick berries & moss & placed a sweet bird in it.
Ooh my goodness Eleanor that sounds so precious!! ❤️ I love the idea of using it as a little base for a sweet moment! Thank you for sharing! 🥰
I love the little 2 handed glass candle idea. Id but that if the candle was vanilpa or maybe coconut. I like light natural colors.
I will definitely have a vanilla! And I don’t use dyes so all my candles are light colored and classic for the glass vessels because I totally agree with you! 😉👌🏼❤️
Great finds thanks for sharing.

Oh my gosh no way! That’s awesome!
The flea really is the best! Never know what you will find! 🥰❤️
That glass container with the brass pedestal is you could use it for jewelry or something like that!!
Ohhh that would be pretty! Thank you!

I love the art book ! ❤
Oh my gosh it was SUCH a crazy good find! I couldn’t believe it was only a dollar! 😳
Love all of your finds!!! Honeslty the glass on brass pedestal I would use it just as a statement piece for decor it’s beautiful as is 😍

I saw my booth in your video, the one with the church windows. I’m in the 6000 pavilion. Looks like you found some great finds.
Oh my gosh no way!!! We loved those church windows! Your booth was one of our favorites to look at , so many pretty things and styled so well!
@@brookesimplybliving thank you. Hope you come back again soon.
We would love to come back soon, we live alll the way over in SC but we definitely want to make another trip out there!
GREAT Video...
I’m so glad you loved it Elaine! 🥰❤️

Glass candy in the big dish.
Oh I hadn’t thought about glass candy! Thank you for the suggestion! 🥰❤️
I haven’t been to Canton First Monday in about 54 years. Last time I went, it covered just a block. Oh, is it called trade days now?
Wow! That’s incredible! To be honest I’m not local to there at all, but yes I do believe it’s referred to as trade days sometimes now but it’s still referred to as the first Monday market as well!
I really like your videos
I’m so so glad Clementine! ❤️

Because I’m addicted haha 😅
