    Hi George - just wanted to say that I always learn mucho from watching your videos - I'm originally from Imperial Beach and remember very well the drive in theater (Big Sky). Also wanted to tell you about the rabbit plate but others have already done that. Love your videos!

    So funny! I think we were actually at the playas flea the same day. I saw a lot of the same things you did so I’m assuming we were there at the same time 😊. If you ever come back down here maybe you’d be interested in going farther down to Ensenada. I love the thrifting there as well 😁. I just put my video up too for my playas trip. Thought that was coincidental.

    Good evening, George. Always fantastic to see Betty with you. I'd like to have one of the angry Duck hood ornaments, from the _Convoy_ movie, Rubber Duck truck. There's one of those carving blocks here...somewhere. Interesting old keys there. I have a turtle like the carved elephant, with one inside it. Mom got it for me years ago. The tallship, close to the armadillo purse, caught my eye. That Tupperware pickle caddy was unusual, in blue. I liked the crucifixes that were in the bin. I wish I still had the peddle car I had as a child. No idea what happened to it. The tumbler was Fenton's _Lattice and Grape_ pattern. Lots of really nice things there. It has to be fun shopping with Betty, too. Thanks for taking us along!

    • @TheAntiqueNomad
      @TheAntiqueNomad  16 дней назад +3

      Hi there! She is really great to show me around Mexico like this. I never thought about the angry duck, I remember that movie well from childhood and you just jogged my memory! I like the keys, any old keys can be interesting depending on shape and material. I like the puzzle turtles, don't see them often. The tall ship was neat, I couldn't imagine how I'd get it back in one piece! The blue Tupperware should've come with me because it's a good and unusual color. Thank you for Lattice and Grape, my carnival glass i.d. skills are limited to book research, I never saw enough in one place to really get it down. I'm so glad you could come with us!

      @@TheAntiqueNomad Betty seems so charming, and I imagine she knows how to make a deal, too. The last time I saw one of those Angry Duck hood ornaments, I almost caught a case of the vapours 😂 The price was Eeeek! I'd never seen the Tupperware pickle caddy in any colour other than green. I grew up around Carnival Glass, so some of the patterns I remember fairly well...others not so much. There were a lot of them, and some are difficult to distinguish from one maker to another. That looked like a really fun excursion.

    When I was a kid back in the 1960’s and into the 70’, we would go to Tijuana on occasion. It was so much fun to shop there. Wish I still had the leather purse I bought there. The tacos were always delicious. Thank you and Betty for a fun video.

Unfortunately, the ads always jolt me awake….

      Hi there! I do try to give values of some things when I know them, but it can be a bit awkward when I'm in a shop or in front of a dealer shopping because I don't want to alert them if I see a deal. Generally speaking, if I see something that's priced less than half of retail, I buy it.
