I once picked up a cigar box of vintage costume jewelry at Canton for $5. Amongst the pieces was what seemed to me a nice solitaire diamond ring. Real? I took it to a jeweler to confirm my suspicions. It turned out to be a 3 1/4 carat diamond. Need I say it was fabulous? My son had it reset for his bride when he married.
Wow that’s a cool find!
Dang, that's awesome ❤
Great story!
Damn!!!
Wow what luck.
I bought those brass elephant earrings! It’s funny that you bought them in Texas, took them back to Oregon, and then shipped them to me - back in Texas. Meant to be!
Oh how funny!!! They are so cute! Little world travelers 😂 Thank you for supporting my dream/shop ❤️
I grew up in east Texas and always going to first Monday trades days. When I got married that’s where my family took me for cast iron and kitchen stuff. 12 years later and those items are still used in my kitchen daily. I came across this video by chance and it makes me miss home so much! Currently in Arizona. Definitely loving this video!
Do we ever forget living in Texas? I know I don't, but at some point in time I knew I could not go back, it is no longer the same area I knew....times change. But I will say, Texas will always live in my heart.
Have you been to Quartzsite, AZ in January? I live here in AZ too
I’m Romanian. I liked the book you found about Romanian folk art. A lot of the weaving art carpets /tapestry was hung on walls to keep a room warm and for decorations too. Since homes were heated by a terracotta wood heaters. My mom still has vintage weaved tapestry (the colors are still bright and vibrant) hanging in her bedroom. And she lives here in the USA.
Romanian textiles are so lovely, I have been to Romania three times and loved it. Hope all stays safe right now.
Greetings from rural Southwest Texas
I live 30 minutes from Canton and look at that gold squash blossom necklace every time I go, which is pretty much every month. The gentleman even let me try it on once. My dream to own that piece.
The only thing that I hated about this video……
WAS WHEN IT WAS OVER….😭😭😭
Man, this for me would be like being in HEAVEN 🥰
Thank you for shearing ❤️🙏❤️
Love from Iceland 🇮🇸 ❤️🦋🦋🦋
I'm obsessed with XO Maccenna she's a wonderful girl so creative love her ❤️❤️
Delighted you enjoyed our state; come again! I’m a Senior Citizen and have been going to Canton since I was a child. My grandma and I would drive over on First Monday to get baby chicks for the farm. In those early days, it was just an open field with folks selling whatever out of the back of their farm trucks. Now, it’s almost overwhelming.
How's the economy out there?
omgosh thank you for sharing that, so sweet to hear
Dark purple glass is Amethyst glass. The old lighter purple glass may be Sun Glass, which started out as clear glass, but the sun "damaged" the glass changing it a lavender color. Purple is usually the most collectable out of colored glass (just based on color) other than uranium glass. There are a lot of reproductions out there.
TM - Alicia, you know your glass! My Dad was very active one the Dallas bottle club. In the 70s we went to Canton alot. Great memories of my Dad!
@Rebecca Davis Dark purple glass is usually not usually old glass. The best way you can tell old glass from newer is if the glass has a seam. The more pronounced the seam, the newer the glass probably is. With blown glass it's a little harder to tell new from old, but if it's a bottle you can usually tell just based on the imperfections or the neck of the bottle.
I had that woven purse in the late 70’s, my mom lined it in a Thai batik for me. Loved it.
This is the best channel so far, you are my kindred spirit in thrifting. I love what you do and having a husband / partner sharing your likes just tops it off!
Thanks, I've learned so much and given away so much of what you collect from my Mom and Grandmother. I love the memories it all brings too!
Great flea market Laura. We don't have anything like that in Australia. Having lived in Japan for 17 years I immediately identified the owls as Japanese and was pleased you recognised their quality and bought them.
What a flea market! And I honestly had no idea my Peter Gabriel vinyl was so valuable at this point!
Happy Valentines Day everyone!!!! ❤️ Sending love and light to you all! Always a good day when Laura drops a new video! 💕
Happy Valentine’s Day!! 💕💕💕💕
Laura is ONE OF A KIND 😍
We also have the 80 mile yard sale every year here in Texas & you can get some really good stuff at great prices , it starts in waxahachie tx goes for miles and miles all along the side of 1 road people are set up having sales in there yards , when you come to Texas again be sure to go to waxahachie tx its about 30 minutes south of Dallas tx its package with antique , resale , thrift shops on every corner of down town by the old court house
I absolutely love Waxahachie!!!
Plus every year there’s the Texas Country Reporter event!!!
When is that? I want to do that to! I’m in Tx and we love traveling all over to thrift.
@@vintageuprisingtx It will be October 29 this year!!!
I stayed in Waxahachie during my husband’s job there and I loved it!!!
Also the courthouse is absolutely beautiful!!!
Which way? What road? Marlean Greene
When is that each year? I’m in Houston and would love to check that out!
That "spinner" lol, was a necktie holder. :-) I want to go to that flea market so baaad. What an amazing jewelry haul. Keep having fun!!
YES!!! I worked in a gold jewelry store in a flea market in the late 90s when gold was affordable and when a new store opened up, other owners would complain but the store owners I worked for would be happy. When I asked why, they said, we have great price per gram and the more stores here, the better because it will bring more customers and even if we have to drop our prices for gold per gram, we'll have more people shopping here to sell to and make more money in the end even if we make less profit per sale.
That was a black swallow tail butterfly. They are the state butterfly of Oklahoma, and we’ve raised a few of them when we saw one laying eggs on our parsley.
Yes! I raise them each year in San Antonio, as the momma butterflies always find my dill and parsley. The caterpillars are beautiful, too and love to pupate in grapevine.
I’m a vendor at Canton! The vendors with the big yellow school bus are our vendor neighbors now. Too bad we started being vendors just after you visited. I’m glad you loved it, it is such a great experience!
So awesome! We'll just have to come back for another visit 😉
Is this held the weekend after the first Monday or before the first Monday of every month?
Your videos are just so relaxing and interesting! You have an awesome personality - you are a joy to watch - I think I ve binged like 15 of your videos since yesterday when I discovered them. I am from Romania and it was awesome to see the book you found.
Peter Gabriel “So” is literally one of the best albums ever. What a great find! I’m going go dig mine out!
Welcome to Texas, I was born and raised in Texas and I love it❤️
I always take for granted how lucky I am to live less than an hour from Canton, Tx. My wife and I go at least 6 times a year.
That floral round needlework is absolutely stunning!!!! Love the green woven basket too and for $10 that’s a great price. The wooden owl 🦉 & black owl statues are all so cute ☺️ I love owls!
Love the positive energy you project. I am relieved that you had a great time in my home state. *Even though it was stinking hot* Please come back again.
I’m so glad I found this! I moved from Texas to North Carolina five years ago and I miss Canton so much!
I've live here for almost 20 years.... I live seeing people discover First Monday! I've been too it plenty and stay away from town during it as much as I can (traffic) but I do enjoy seeing people discover our town and what it holds!! First Monday is pretty incredible
I can't believe you guys flew down there to shop for only one day. That made it more of a work day, but Laura you found some nice jewelry, and Jess found his record. Thanks for the video
My grandparents started taking me there 45 years ago. It's always awesome & there are cute cottages & cabins to rent around Canton because you can't see it all even in 2 days.
I'm gonna be broke before I get through the first building! Girl, I know the feeling! Loved your finds!
Planning a future trip!
I love Makenna! She has great flea market/antique videos too. This looked so fun!
I am so glad you were able to make it to Texas. I live in Tyler, about an hour from Canton & have visited there several times. I also like to go digging through stuff & usually will always find a little treasure. Enjoyed the video & was impressed with all the nice things you said about Canton & their fantastic First Monday Trades Weekend. Happy travels.
I live about 4hrs from Canton but have been there and LUV Dog Alley. It's a weeks worth of walking at First Monday. Glad you had so much fun and found so much!!! :)
What a fun trip Laura, can’t wait to see the other video! 😊❤️
I can't wait to go to the flea market again when the weather is nice! This gave me Spring fever! LOL! Nice finds, as always! Thanks for taking us along!
Great finds Laura, I just love this huge Texas antiques market - absolute gem! I love lots of items you are buying , my favourite so far are the brass deer, a wonderful round hand made cloth and the silver rings of course ... Beautiful. Peter Gabriel's album - what a treat too! Cannot wait for the next episode !
I've had a poster of the lady with lilies since the 80s. The lady rumored to be Frieda. Also have one painted on tin from Mexico. I have that Peter Gabriel album. Really good. You could fill your shop & sell it all! That weaving book!
I once bought an antique piano stool at the Canton sale. I put it in the trunk of my car and when I got home the stool was in pieces, the round seat was the only part that was intact.
Love, love, love all of your videos, and especially this one! Family and friends in the great State of Texas. Perfect soundtrack for your episode. Looking forward to the next one.
Oh be still my heart!! It's been 40 years since my trip to Canton! The "camp ground" area is great! It's truly a pickers paradise!! Girl takes your truck next time! Get the u-haul trailer when you get there! You can pick all the way there and back! Do they still have the lemonade vendors? Oh yum! Thank so much for this adventure!! Love love love watching you! And yes Jesse would look so cute on that scooter!
Wow, That's huge. Lot of beautiful things too. I love the needle point tablecloth. Thanks Laura
As a little girl I went to Canton with my grandmother and mother … I remember the sand was so hot that it burned my feet … though my Keds tennis shoes. My grandmother made a mad hatter’s hat out of a big brown grocery bag. 😝
That's a great record Jesse. I grew up in Texas, but it was before all the huge flea markets were down there. In the early 80s, we would go to Round Top, because my stepfather would participate in their chili cook off. It was before the the flea market got so huge. Love watching you shop. Thanks.
Absolutely loved this video!! Music in is also fantastic!!!! Thanks for bringing us on another adventure trip with you and Jess 🥰🐕
That knife block triggered a memory for me from when I was little. We had that same one only ours was painted with a rooster on the round shield area. It had a companion piece of a hamburger patty press, also painted with roosters and hung on the wall. (The memory is from the 50’s, but they may have been older than that)
So much fun watching you dig up for hidden flea market treasures ☺
Laura I enjoyed watching you and your husband shop. You picked some really great pieces. But the hi light for me was seeing that wardrobe for $100 dollars. I have not seen one of those since I was a young girl. My grandmother had one and me and my sister use to play hide and go seek. That was awesome. Thanks for the memories. It’s been 55 years since I remembered that
Oh my God girl, I'm still recovering from my shopping, lugging luggage trip in Mexico and you're making me check tickets already for a quick trip to Canton!! Really need to upgrade to a newer van : 0 )
I’m laughing, I remember the first time I went to Canton. The whole town is dedicated to first Monday! I am so jealous! Glad you had a blast!
What a wonderful vlog, thanks for taking us along. I too love to watch xo Macenna
The purple glass could be magnesium glass. The longer the sunlight hits it the more purple it gets. They weren't kidding when they say everything in Texas is bigger. Those bumble bees look huge! Lol!
Loved that you came to Texas! Texas is not the place to look for mid-century. I lived in So. California most of my life and saw the most 1950’s - 1970 decor in Long Beach, Laguna Beach and Palm Springs. The garage sales are wonderful. Hollywood Bowl flea Market and Long Beach are the best for mid-century.
I live near Round Top, TX and hardly ever see any mid century there.
Best of luck to you. Been watching you for several years and love your style! ♥️
I’m sooo jealous..watching McKenna and her mom go all the time makes me want to move to Texas!l.I’d be in heaven with all the thrifting..and I’d have to bring a truck for sure.I’m in NC ,,if I get there I may not come back hehe.lHappy shopping.lcant wait to see what u find.l
ThAnk you for the quick tour - you deserve a medal for doing it in such conditions!!
I used to go to Canton every month. I’m about 5 hours away in Louisiana. I’m glad you finally got here.
I was so ready for this video! Day 1….. definitely a successful thrifting day! ♥️
Thank you so much for the thrifting across the US, I can’t wait to go visit some of these places!!
Please get some larger size rings for your shop. 🥰🥰🥰
I try! Always looking but they’re harder to find. Just picked up a beautiful one today in Southern California that will be coming to the March 4th sale 😄
Happy Valentines to you guys too!
You and Macenna are some of my favorite RUclipsrs. I really enjoy watching you both!.
Oh the purple glass is amazing!!💜💜💜
Oh Happy Day! New Laura video. Happy Love Day 💘
That garden antique place was so fabulous. I loved the flowers.
DEAR LORD I HOPE JESSE DIDN'T LEAVE IS NEEEEWWWW ALBUM IN THE SUN !!! LOVING YOUR VIDEOS !
I am from near Houston and used to set up in Canton every month for about a year and a half. I loved it and everyone was so nice, customers and vendors. It’s grown so much since I was there. BTW…Peter Gabriel’s So is one of my favorites!
So many goodies!!!!! Those quilts, the horsr painting, the furniture, ringparadise , the kitty jacket and pants,The fireplace horst...

Yay! Love when new videos come out!
girl when you found them leather wallets I was like Yes! she was looking for that!!! lol I'm invested.
This has to be one of the many favorite blogs that I Love from you. Loved that market.👍
Oh my, what an adventure! I would need a month of Mondays to explore that Flea Market...
Lived in a suburb of Houston for 10 years, oldest daughter and family still live there! People in Texas are sooooo friendly! I miss it, but don’t miss the heat and that says a lot cause I live in FL. I regret never having gone to Canton, maybe I need to drag my daughter on a visit back!🤗
See all the fabric and embroidery made my heart sing. That is my thing.
Great video guys,had Soo much fun seeing all the cool stuff!
You make such great content - thank you for sharing your talent! Always so positive, thoughtful, and sweet!
Love how the colored glass bottles were displayed with back lighting!😊
We have been there many times and each time has been spectacular !
I liked your time at Canton. I have been there a lot of times and gotten some great things. Now I probably won’t be able to go back. So watching you there was great memories for me. Had booths and made some good buys to resell. You will go back, It’s great fun to shop and look. Used a grocery cart to drag around with us. Drank a lot of the lemonade. Had an RV parked right on the grounds so could go back and rest and run our air conditioner. Thanks for your sharing your trip.
This is one place I’ve always wanted to go! Happy Valentines Day!
Another great adventure! Thank you, Laura!
I am so happy your channel was recommended for me! Love,love love having your videos play while I am working!
I live in small town Overton Tx, abt an hour and half from Canton and I saw more on this video than I ever have going. I catch myself going thru the covered buildings and by the time I get to the outdoors, I'm tired and way too hot. Seems spring and fall bring lots of rainy first Mondays. Thank you for a fun look at Canton.
Hi, I live in East Tyler not far from Overton & like you I just get worn out in Overton, but I love to go. My boyfriends sister had a spot in the Pavilion, so we went several times last year to help her pack things up after the weekend. I did more shopping & looking around than helping. Canton really is fun but I don’t think I’ve ever gone thru all of it.
What a fun trip! I couldn't handle that heat very well though. I love that carved wood bottle you scored. It's gorgeous. Thank you for the shots of bees and that beautiful butterfly! And yes, next time bring a trailer. So much great stuff!
Great video! Tell Jesse that is one of the best albums to find. Love that one! I would go crazy in that place. So much to look at. Can’t wait to see more videos on your house! Looking forward to it! Till next time!👍🥰💜
Amazing Haul 😃 love that flea market and antique shops.Your videos are always relaxing and fun.
I had such fun thrifting with you - all without getting sweaty. I'm glad to see that Canton is a thrift market and not handicrafts.
I live in Texas and I have been to Canton, a few times. So. happy you came to visit. Sometimes it takes more than 2 days to go through that place and you still won't see everything. ❤❤❤
Hello, I just found your vlog yesterday and love what you do! I used to go to o Canton market with my grandparents & great granny. I bought my first piece of original fiestaware there. That was back in the 70s. Grandpa used to take chicken and cows to sell. I just love East TX.. Wonderful memories of mid 70s.
Happy Valentine's Day Laura from San Antonio Texas. y'all enjoy your trip.♥️♥️
Lots of good memories of Canton. Used to go with my parents as a kid.
Great finds! Enjoyed browsing the stores with you. Thanks for sharing
My husband has family living in Canton. We always plan our trips around First Monday. I go the 1st and last days.
Yes Texas reminded me of Macenna. Love watching you thrift shopping, it's so addictive. We don't have such thrift shopping ideas in India but I m obsessed with your videos
You are in a good State. Texas is awesome! We have everything that is amazing and special. our shopping, our restaurants, we do everything big in Texas. Our Festivals, Flee Markets, Garage sales, County Fairs, etc. Some parts of Texas have Little Mexico at every venue. Have Fun!
So excited to see you’re in Texas. I drove from Portland to Austin a few weeks ago & keep thinking I can get things I usually wouldn’t since I have a car to bring things home.🙆🏼♀️ You energy is always so fun! Hope I get to Canton while I’m here!
Awesome video of your visit to Canton. Thank you for sharing!
Omg! Please make all of your videos this long!! That was awesome 🙌🙌
Loved all the rings, Laura , great vlog, get pick you got there, happy Valentine's Day❣️❤️💞
Fun video as always! Gallery wall baskets are totally on trend and green is the 2022 “it” color. Great find!
Well done Laura and Jessie Happy Valentines Day
