My Favorite things, is my favorite. So glad you had a chance to see it and do a video. The dealer you talk about who is a subscriber, her booth is my favorite. When I go into My Favorite Things, I tell my teens, "I'm gonna go look at my favorite booth first. Her style is my style, feel like we are kindred spirits.
I am glad to have been introduced to the work of the photographer McKay. I liked the photo as well as the story behind it. However, I also appreciated the lighted lake piece for $75.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us! George, you are a walking encyclopedia...( you would say at that point " for the baby bloomers 'encyclopedia ' where we once read 📚 to accumulate knowledge" ..lol ) I am sponging this up and I even reverse your video, when I didn't get it all....... Thanks George...glad I found you 😊 Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
I’m late watching this, but that’s the story of my life. Plus my notifications are often late. I love these videos where you talk about all the things! I always learn something. One of my favorite things is umbrellas. I especially like the pagoda style like the one with the red ruffles that you pointed out. I would display them just like this in my house. 💚🥰
The colorful umbrella display was so cheerful and pretty. It reminds me of an airport I once flew through that had something akin to Japanese lanterns hanging overhead. Lots of fun red shapes. Wish I could remember where that was--somewhere between Tampa and Salt Lake City (maybe Denver? Dallas? who knows?).
Flashback…I had that same carved owl with orange felt eyes back in the late 70’s. I had an orange color themed bedroom. No surprise I gravitate toward Amberina glass now.
Your knowledge boggles me, & makes your videos so fun. You are kind and never rude or disparaging. My dad collected antiques (northern iowa) and I grew up going to farm auctions and antique stores with him. Collecting all my life. Hope you come through eastern Nebraska and Iowa one day. We have a thing or two!! Till your next video! PS. I was supposed to be a boy, so my nickname was George until adulthood. I still like it when an elderly relative calls me George. 🥳
"You are kind & never rude or disparaging." That's why I quit watching a reseller vlog. They had a "disparaging" time on a vid and I thought, "OK, it didn't bother them, but I don't have to continue watching." George is very respectful and he has a very good sense of humour but he doesn't get goofy and then stupid and then make fun of things that might be important to someone else. I appreciate his maturity and he can still have fun and be mature. Sorry, didn't mean to rant, but it was disappointing what the other reseller and her friend did right on camera.
@@barbarapettry6817 I couldn't agree more. Most of the other resellers are one-trick ponies. They also look at their subscribers as people lower than them, never to be spoken to in the comment section. There was one reseller that often answered questions in the comment section until she buddied up with a reseller who never did, and THAT reseller "set the other one straight" and she was never to be found in the comment section again. Resellers can't answer every single question but "never" just doesn't work for me. I get everything I need from this channel. The knowledge is here and the civility makes me comfortable. Ok - my rant is over, lol.
Congrats on having a great Spokane show! You are an extremely hard worker, very knowledgeable and generous with your knowledge, fair, honest and ethical. You deserve to have lots of good shows.
Just a gentle nudge in the right direction - the Rochester Stamping Co. was not a division of Fraunfelter. Rochester Stamping jobbed their porcelain blanks from Fraunfelter and then added their metal fittings to complete their sets. Royal Rochester was a trade name for their many beautiful coffee urns, percolators, tea pots, etc. Fraunfelter went out of business in the 30's and that's when Rochester Stamping went on to make all metal coffee sets.
"Just a gentle nudge in the right direction" What a very nice way to correct someone - That takes real practice - If You don't work in Customer Service, You really should. 🙂
I have watched several of your videos but did enjoy this one so much because you showed things I remember many pieces throught my life. I have always been a thrifter and just do not know what I would do with it all. I am retired and live in a small apartment with no room for much of anything. I do have a couple pieces I would like to give up for a price, but I have no idea what to ask for them. The biggie is my mother's baby doll still in her original clothes. She is about 12" her eyes open and close and she is nearly 100 years old. Since I am now in my late 70's it is time to give her up so she will not be left for some child to destroy. Wish I had a way of showing her to you. I have tried to find out from several people, but no one seems to know about dolls. Enough said. I will continue watching you and hoping to see something similar.
Hi George, I am happy for you to have done so well in your Spokane show. I ill have to catch up on your other channel to see it. I enjoyed watching come back with a few items from a shop that had higher than resale prices; you are right to look around, always find some things to buy in the right price range. Thanks again!
Thank you for acknowledging that not everything "modern" is bad! I've gotten tired of beautiful pieces being dismissed based on " China" or "modern". Although I do agree with the copycat dislike! You are an amazingly knowledgeable man George! So happy to watch you!
Thank you! I admit to dismissing a lot of new Chinese production because it's copying or aping true vintage designs, and I hate fakes. On the other hand, we've given over most home goods manufacturing to China, so we'd better like it! When they make things of original merit, I'm less concerned with country of origin
Vernonware Gingham! Very hard to find pattern compared to their other plaid patterns (e.g. Organdie, Homespun). I’ve never seen such a complete set before! I only have the divided vegetable dish, soup tureen, and small round platter. Thanks for sharing, George!
Good evening, George! I like that Egyptian papyrus print. I have several of them, but nowhere to hang them. That photo album, with the celluloid insert, was fantastic! I have one on a base that is double-doored. It has a diamond-shaped mirror in each "door". It was my grandmother's. I'd like to have those antique duck decoys. I would go absolutely nuts in that mineral and fossil case. I've always liked that sort of thing. Lots of interesting items there. Thanks for the take-along!!!
I see those Papyrus prints a lot but never really see them hung, same reason! I knew you'd like the celluloid album, it's coll that you have the double-door with diamond variety, I'm a fan and it's cool that it's a family piece. Decoys are more and more interesting to me lately! I admit fossils and minerals attract me but I've not collected them as yet...there's always time...
16:04 corner shelf...same company made wooden knife holders with the same flower design...in green or red...and other accessories....will have to look on the back of the knife holder to get you the company name
George I found a Jaru silver ceramic dog for $2.99 at Savers ... I recognized it only because of you and your shiney golf sphere in the plastic case ... Now what ? I collect all things dog but this is so not my style suggestions I'm gonna email you cuz I need appraisal help sos and lol ... You're the best thanks
That’s how some coin banks were made. I remember I had a cat shaped ceramic bank when I was a kid. My dad had to break it to get my “fortune” out. $20 in change. Bought my first bike with it. Late fifties.
LOL live hair...Just learned my newest BIL...sold skins to go to school...and saw an epic pic. Thrilled of course to see stories about this neck of the woods. ( 7 hrs counts)....I really appreciate the education...I really do..and then things come up again..what is it again..Stengel?? not age it is our pineal gland that needs clearing for memory...ahh yes all up on it..lol. We overdid it on strawberry and hummingbird things for one grandmother...but I just love that piece and your strawberry and your rolling pin...I had a handleless one bought in late eighties..and wood...and wondering if my dear mom now in heaven tossed it when she moved back. On the list...can not wait to see you somewhere...and buy..or soon maybe just email for something...take good care. LOL on those wooden owls..some things like that to me are terminal garage sale but not for some and I get it now..because well..darnit...and loved Donna's booth.
I once learned an editor I worked for in NYC put herself through college in Wisconsin selling some kind of animal pelts. Funny, since when I knew her she lived in Manhattan, but she was a Midwestern country girl at heart.
George, you have taught me so much.TY Did you know some alicite Aladdin lamps and finials will glow green under black light. I have a collection of electric and oil. Out of 4 finials I have only one glows. I have three oil and one electric lamp that glow.
There are two Cape Cod patterns. The deep red is by Wheaton Glass of New Jersey and made as Cape Cod for Avon, 1975-90. The clear with diamond and thumbrpint pattern is Cape Cod by Imperial Glass Co., 1940s-60s
Great video George! Thanks for sharing!
I am waiting for newest Live to start in alittle while. Looking forward to that 😊
Love Love that umbrella display!

@Maureen Fitzgerald, I went to college with a very sweet girl named Georgiana, who we called George for short.
@@twistoffate4791 I loved being called George or Georgie! Favorite nickname ever
Love all the history you know about so many things.
Congrats on having a great Spokane show! You are an extremely hard worker, very knowledgeable and generous with your knowledge, fair, honest and ethical. You deserve to have lots of good shows.
I love that you were shopping in Idaho! I live further down near Boise. Lovely antiques around here too.
I have one cousin & one friend who live in Boise.
Thanks George! So fun to shop with you! Love the way you teach us!

Oh, that makes more sense now! I've seen too many Royal Rochester items missing their metal fittings to have realized. Thank you!
Glad you had a good show in Spokane. This was a fun video, as usual.
So much fun there!
That second store was great!! Fun to see stuff that I don't normally see in stores.
Yes! I agree. I feel lucky to get to travel, things were distributed more regionally in the old days so you see different flavors in different areas

Wow! You are indeed a wealth of information. Thanks for sharing insights. I feel as if I had a private tour guide.

Another great video, thanks I learn so much from you. Enjoyed.
I shopped there with my granddaughter just a couple of months ago. We too loved the umbrellas!
Loved the show! How fun to see you go to Post Falls! I have bought often from Favorite Things!
Thanks! It was fun seeing it for the first time
Hi George! That vendor's mall was great! I loved the light up lake pic & would have taken that home in a heartbeat!
I love what I like and although I tend to like antique I can enjoy more modern as well
Thank You for being You !

Why does thrift sound so much like theft
Both words European origin, thrift is to conserve resources and one is to take them without paying
