It was the Avon Cape Cod collection that got me into collecting many years ago. One day I decided I would check out a local antique store and the set of Cape Cod caught my eyes. Once I was told it was by Avon, I had to have every piece I could find. My mom was big on Avon many years ago and anything by Avon reminded me of her. I now have a very large collection of Cape Cod and it brings me beautiful memories of my mom.
So far I’ve found 3 decanters and 2 ice buckets. I cried my eyes out when the ice bucket slipped from my hand as I was washing it. (it had the handle!) 3 large pieces on my granite countertop. Last night I broke a wine glass, last week a MCM or antique, etched beer stein (both very thin), same granite……I’m going back to laminate! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Growing up we had the Johnson Bros Fruit Sampler dishes - sweet memories ♥I have a 6-piece bowl set of the Haviland Limoge bowls you found there and I just love them. Oh, I love the Japanese lacquered boxes and the ideas you had on what store in them. Great finds - thank you for taking us along.
Hi Mary Beth! I purchased 12 of the Cape Cod Ruby Red dinner plates years ago in a thrift store in great condition! Their absolutely beautiful! I use them year round. My Christmas table looks extra special when they are used. Stay well!
I have two of the Japanese jewellery boxes; one belonged to my mother, one to my mother in law. They were brought back as souvenirs by men serving in the forces in the early 1950s.
Lady MaryBeth can you make a video that will give me some ideas on how to decorate a long table that is only used on holidays and special occasions. We have a dining room table that can be expanded to fit 8 then we pull up a table that can add 5 more place settings. Because I am using two separate tables I need decorations down the center to make the table more cohesive yet not block the view of guests during conversations. Thank you in advance.
I just love your videos! They’ve inspired me to shop my local thrift and Good Will stores. Your Texas stores look more like gift shops while here in Southern New England ours often resemble garage sales. But I still love the hunt! I would love to find a Fostoria American ice bucket!
I really enjoy your videos. I have the exact same Japanese jewelry box you showed first. It’s actually from the early 1940’s. My father was in WWII and sent it home from the South Pacific to his little sister who left it to me. I think it was a popular souvenir item back then.
I am so jealous of the Goodwills that i see other people shopping at. Ours seem like nasty trashy junk shops. No jewelry, either. I was told Goodwill stores do not carry jewelry. It is all online. But i enjoy seeing what you always find.
You have really changed the way I shop. Finding beautiful and affordable items at Houston area thrift and antique stores. Thanks for the inspiration! ❤❤
Always love watching your videos. ❤ Side note on sea turtle heads book ends: if real, a no no under Convention Of International Trade of Endangered Species.
Waterford Cake Plate for 10.00, listed for 199.99 retail was my major find this weekend and a pair of Waterford Salt and Pepper shakers for 25.00 retailing at 175.00.
I have the cape code vinegar bottle and salt and pepper my mom had. My daughter in law has the 6 small goblets. I did sell to large goblets for 20 to a couple who were going to use them at their wedding table a couple years ago.
I have the two tiered hor d'oeuvre server and the pedestal cake stand from Avon (like this) that I use for Xmas. Got it at a thrift for 2.99 each, love em
Love the gurgle pot! I found one at my local Good Will - same color but larger $4.99 just last week - was thrilled as I have slays wanted one! Beautiful finds! I love shopping Good Will!
The colored lithograph of The Village Elms was gorgeous. I'm a sucker for great art! 🖼❤Your Goodwill does a nice job with the "treasure island" section...wish mine had those!
Wonderful fines today, really love the Decanter and Jade piece Also love My take on Home and Garden channel with Jeff and Angela thank you for another wonderful video. Take good care Love from Clarksville Tennessee 💜
I’m always amazed by all the beautiful items you find. But even more by their prices! The decanter and the crystal basket, so pretty! Außerdem lerne ich gern über all die verschiedenen Dinge , und ich bin wirklich beeindruckt von Ihrem vielfältigem Wissen 😊 Oh my gosh!😮 that Avon collection for 29,99? That’s incredible!!
I have several Gail Pittman pieces. Now that they are no longer made, does this increase the value? Also, last week I found a small, ceramic, deviled egg plate (6 slots) with a thistle hand painted in the center, Scottish perhaps?. No back stamp, Any ideas?
I love the delft shoes. in Dutch German.. I do have some Dublin in me and English. I guess I’m a Heinz 57. I did the 23 and me and found that my ancestors pretty much come from these areas. There’s a tiny bit of Scandinavia 6% and Italian which I found funny. My grandfather was full-blooded German, and on my dad’s side I don’t really know. My brother always told me we were Dutch and I always thought How would you know? But he was right
What a wonderful Goodwill! The two in my area are the pits!! Expensive and junky stuff! I would have bought that Cape Cod by Avon. Such great things they have there! Thanks for the shopping trip!
Wow, your Good Will is absolutely beautiful. The ones in our area are horrible. One just opened open very close by and I want to visit with Clorox and cleaning materials.
When they keep bringing out more amazing pieces it must be hard to leave😂. Love everything you found but the mirrored riser is my fav. I hope you will share how you styled it.
Lucky me, I found Block square 5 spot tea light candle holder about 3 months ago. Last month I found its twin! Keep you eyes op❤en for what you already have, there may be another put out on another day.
I love the Delft tulip vase you show in the promo. I have been looking for one while thrifting. I also look for the Gouda ware as it is my all time favorite. I have some pieces from my Oma.
New subbie from Canada. Clean & well displayed Goodwin. Kudos to the staff there. I do not have a Goodwin near me however there is a Value Village thrift store which is great for treasure hunting. The picture frames were a great find & price. Thank you for posting educational & interesting videos!!!
I found the Haviland Limoges poppy pattern, 6 dinner plates and 6 bread plates, for $12 at a thrift store. I mix it with a green and white floral suisse langenthal pattern I haven't been able to identify. They look great together.
Hello MaryBeth! I am brand new to your channel. I found you totally by mistake and I’m so glad I did! I enjoy your videos very much. I would love a video on your “story”. What brought you to RUclips, your family, your background. I loved your video from your home in Germany!! The German Christmas markets are on my bucket list! 😀
Delighted to hear from you! Have mentioned my background and story in several segments. I am a 17th Century Colonial Dame, Daughter of the American Revolution, and 6th generation Daughter of the Republic of Texas. My husband is German, and we keep homes in Texas and Germany. Started my career with Waterford Crystal, and have been in the tabletop industry over 30 years. You might catch a podcast I did early in the channel with Theodore Leaf. His podcast is Canyon Home.
I will buy that Fostoria ice bucket if you are selling. My mother had an extensive collection of American Fostoria, which my sister and I have in storage. I have started collecting for sentimental reasons. I would LOVE THAT Ice Bucket. Also, looking for the American Fostoria dinner bell.
I was honoured to be invited to a Chinese tea ceremony in Singapore. The tea pot and cups were all very small. I don’t know if the ones you found were for the tea ceremony or just for the tourist market. Loved that large Japanese box x
@@LadyMaryBeth I have visited 6 or 8 times working with the tourist board and it’s one of my favourite countries. Will meet you there and show you my favourite places.
Hello,thank you for your nice videos,the brownish decanter depression press glass and gobelets with the greek key are actually greek,there’s an inscription written in greek on it.
Your stores look clean and organized with good prices. I've given up on the thrift store in my MN city. They are expensive, have Target junk and are really dirty. Clothing and shoes are in rough shape, Dishes are chipped or cracked and they still want $5. Appliances don't work, art is faded etc..
Not sure about cost, but items sell quickly here. You could look at shopgoodwill.com for other items. Be sure to look about overseas shipping before bidding.
@@suzannekosic4088 Much like Waterford and other high end brands, jewelry items are donated by estates and those cleaning out their homes. Might be in handbags or boxes and overlooked. Some are unaware of the value if it did not belong to them.

You are the most incredible encyclopedia of information. I now look at glass and crystal in a different light. Thank you so much for sharing! ❤️❤️❤️
Makes us appreciate more knowing the history and craftsmanship. I am always learning, too.

Thanks for the warm welcome! Always a pleasure to shop in your store. 🥰
I learn so much from you .Those picture frames are beautiful I never take the time to look over picture frames but I will now thank you. ❤❤❤
The crystal decanter is beautiful and the ice bucket as well . Great gift’s . Just love it ❤
Was expecting my friend would want the crystal decanter. He declined, so I left it for someone else to discover.
So far I’ve found 3 decanters and 2 ice buckets. I cried my eyes out when the ice bucket slipped from my hand as I was washing it. (it had the handle!) 3 large pieces on my granite countertop.

Morning lady Mary Beth,it’s 5 am here in uk .always enjoy coming with you much lv Ann ❤️❤️❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Just waking up in Texas. Thanks for watching so early. 😉
I do collect Avon Cape Cod! The large pitcher would be a lovely addition What a clever idea to use the little Dutch shoes on your Christmas tree. S.
The price was great on the 22 piece set of Cape Cod.
The lady you met had a great idea. Bet she does well. Very nice things. Thank you for taking us. 👍💕
i love the mirror riser. the frames were a great deal.

Thinking these are resin. Crossed my mind as well.
I too thought about that. I was feeling sad if real. Glad to know they are not.
@debbiefriedt7264 I was so sad as well. My husband used to be part of a marine biology research program and sea turtles are his favorite. 😊

Men in the Korean Conflict went on R&R in Japan. My dad brought home a lot of objects.
I wish I lived closer so I could visit that Goodwill! Ours always has just junk😊
Maybe there is a charity resale in your area.
Lots of great finds ❤😊My favorite would be the western tray,so beautiful ❤️😊
Perfect for Rodeo season. Bet it sold quickly. 🩵
Love your channel. I have learned so much from you!

Your vldeos are always an event! 😊
My local good will is huge but has very little hard goods mostly clothing. My only scores are crafting supplies or toys for my classroom.

Amazing finds
Wow, your Good Will is absolutely beautiful. The ones in our area are horrible. One just opened open very close by and I want to visit with Clorox and cleaning materials.
Goodwill online at www.shopgoodwill.com is another option, and doesn’t require Clorox. 😉
When they keep bringing out more amazing pieces it must be hard to leave😂. Love everything you found but the mirrored riser is my fav. I hope you will share how you styled it.
I have the Waterford King’s bowl displayed on the mirrored riser. Will share soon in a post on social media.

I just let my grandmother 's Avon Cape Cod go when we cleared out her home. I just didn't have room for it.
I completely understand. Nice of you to let someone give new life to the Cape Cod collection.
Goodwill has gone crazy with those antique store prizes.
Some of the prices were exceptionally good. It’s a treasure hunt.
Estou louca pra conseguir um vaso de peixe com a boca aberta.
Mas está difícil!!
There is the Gurglepot brand, inspired by an antique French design. Hope you find one!

Sorry to hear that. Each Goodwill region operates independently. They need to up their game.
There are 3 in my area, two of them are so junkie and 1 is only fair.. Hoping they will get better!!
What is the price of the decanter in terms of indian rupees??
I want to buy
