The cast iron baking dish is a DRU. It was made along with Descoware in the 50’s. I have all the Dutch ovens that are light blue with white insides. I keep them bright white by soaking them with bleach when the discolor and I’ve used them for over 45 years and my grandma before me. The DRU dishes were added to her set because Descoware didn’t make dishes like that at that time. I wondered if they were the same company. You will love using them! When you passed that mirror you must have heard me gasp and yell “get that”! That had me written all over it and would have bought it too. So happy you did!!
So glad for this info! Thank you so much!!! 😊 Will the bleach work for other enamelware (like the other Dutch oven?). I hope so! So would my baking dish be from the ‘50’s? It’s in such great shape if it is. Yes, the mirror!! I loved it the minute I saw it 😀
I caught my breath when you unveiled the mirror - oh my, what a stunning piece. And of course, your cast iron finds were outstanding buys and finally the antique “bowl” will look so beautiful with fruit, or actually, anything you choose as an accent with that beauty. I look forward to your next video. Have a blessed weekend❣️
I love that blue & white dish. It would look so beautiful as a centerpiece on a table like you said for fruit or a plant. You have some wonderful treasures. Happy birthday to you & your daughter!
I hope to go some day. My mom comes from a small place named Meijel. Her family goes way back in that specific town. I would love to visit there some day!
Hi Barbara, love that you have a Dutch background too! I am becoming more interested in my heritage now, more than when I was younger. I want to honour that part of my family by including those pieces in my home ❤️
I too am attracted to mirrors. I don't know why because I'm not fond of looking in them!!! On a side note, we soak our black walnuts for about two days before cracking them. The nut meat comes out in larger pieces and the shell doesn't explode. Then roast them in the oven. We saw this on RUclips. Works great!
Oh what fun! Thank you for taking me thrift shopping. Love to go see what's out there and sometimes the price. Since I am older now, many things from the 70's were things I had at one time. Enjoyed the trip. Can we stop for coffee and pastries next time. Take care, Joan
I would love pastries and coffee ❤️ That would be nice!! I definitely have nostalgia for the things I grew up with, but I am attracted to items from the 30’s - 50’s. So expensive though. I mostly thrift shop and wait to find a treasure at a better price. But it’s nice to go antiquing and see everything all in one place. Very tempting on the budget 😂
i absolutely love the mirror. never seen anything like it. please show a picture of where you place it. God bless and happy blessed birthday to you and your daug.
My daughter and I are having the day in Salisbury united Kingdom in a couple of weeks scouring the charity stores plus a puruse around the antique shops. I love your blouse you are wearing I would love to know the make . Thank you for your nice video
My great grand parents on my father's side are from the Netherlands! Happy Birthday to you and your daughter! My birthday is today (October 30) It's the most beautiful time of year!
Hi Suzanne, you did very good on your shopping! Great prices for sure. The dish for $1. is very pretty and definitely older. Enjoyed the trip with you! Karla in Cali.
I love your content. Hoping one day when I’m in better living conditions (I don’t have my own home at the moment), I can emulate some of your lifestyle. Thank you for such a beautiful channel 🧡
Thank you so much! ❤️ If it is any consolation, we had to endure horrible living conditions before moving into the farmhouse. We were leasing the farm land for 4 years before getting into the house (someone else was renting it). We were in a townhouse complex with very little space, no yard, and neighbours always congregating right outside our windows. We had zero privacy! It was awful. But we always had hope. Just make steps towards your dreams, every day. It will work out in miraculous ways!! ❤️
On Fiestaware those little marks are called flea bites. I'm not sure on Wedgewood but it sure beautiful dish and I know you'll get a lot of use out of it. I love all your pieces and I can't wait to see you use them on your videos
Lol!! 😂 yes, me too! Unfortunately my local thrift store is charging $25-30 for slow cookers now (they have increased all the prices), which means I’d likely have to get one new. I am irritated with the price increase (they used to only cost $3). I have another thrift shop I go to out of town that still has reasonable prices, so I might hold out for a bit longer.
Happy Birthday Suzanne 🎉 great video I love seeing what can be thrifted in other places. I uploaded a thrift haul video a couple weeks ago if you are interested in comparing thrifting prices in Australia 💚

Hi Suzanne, you did very good on your shopping! Great prices for sure. The dish for $1. is very pretty and definitely older. Enjoyed the trip with you! Karla in Cali.
Thanks Karla! ❤️ It was a trip to remember. I don’t go antiquing often. Probably once to twice a year!
So much more rewarding to be patient and scoring bigtime thrifting. God has always provided for me in this way and very miraculously at times.
Yes, I agree!! That is why I only go antiquing (with money to spend) once or twice a year. Thrifting is definitely more rewarding! ❤️

Thank you! It is so helpful to find out these little tidbits of info from viewers!!! Love it ❤️
I would love to see you thrift an oval style crockpot/slow cooker. They are so much handier than the old small stockpot style.
Lol!! 😂 yes, me too! Unfortunately my local thrift store is charging $25-30 for slow cookers now (they have increased all the prices), which means I’d likely have to get one new. I am irritated with the price increase (they used to only cost $3).

Your mirror is a trumeau mirror.
