In 1981 I got married in a Jessica McClintock Gunne Sax dress. I had been buying and wearing Gunne Sax skirts, blouses and dresses and thought having one of her wedding dresses would be the ultimate experience. It was beautiful; net and lace and a victorian collar. My mother attached a veil to a picture brim hat for me to wear. I was so happy. There used to be a Gunne Sax outlet in San Francisco; my husband would take me there when we'd go visit his parents in California and I'd come out of there with skirts, dresses and yards of lace for next to nothing. Those were the days.
Laci, I enjoy your videos so much! I was born in 46, so I grew up in the fifties. My favorite collection is kitchenware by Knowlesware from the 40’s and 50’s. My mother had the pitcher and my first piece was the pitcher and lid in perfect condition. Over several years and after visiting antique stores throughout southern Texas, I have a very nice collection and I display it in my kitchen. It is a creamy white color and it is called “Fruit”. The fruit is in beautiful pastels: a pink apple, a purplish plum, a yellow pear and blueberries. I am also very proud of other vintage ware pieces, such as Corningware, Pyrex, refrigerator ware and I especially love my colorful aluminum glasses. Again, I absolutely love your videos! You make me want to find more space in my kitchen! Sorry this is so long, but I just wanted to share so much with you!😊
When I was 13 yrs old (mid 1960's) I purchased (with money I had earned babysitting /25 cents per hour) my first interior decorating item. It was a pair of siamese cat figurines like the ones you have. I felt VERY sophisticated.
@@themissingtoothbrush6615 No. The going rate for babysitting in the late 1960's was 25 cents per hour. It didn't go up to 50 cents until the 1970s. In fact, when I got my first "real" job in 1975, minimum wage was only about $1.15 hour.
Laci my little girl just got glasses for the first time and I immediately brought her to your channel so she could see how adorable glasses can be. Thanks for being adorable. 😍♥️
Same Pyrex divided snowflake casserole dish with lid here in Bucks County, PA priced at $46, here at a "vintage" shop. Laci Fay you got a bargain at $8 total. Thumbs up!
Haha thank you! Idk where everyone was while I was filming this one! Johnny Cash was no where to be found! He likes to go hide and take naps sometimes.
New subscriber here. I’m a 60’s child and I’m loving your videos. Brings back lots of memories and you look sooo beautiful . Thanks for the awesome videos. Your thrift prices are great ours are way too high. Here in Ca.
Sounds like it’s time to turn one of your rooms into a dressing room to accommodate a big vintage wardrobe 😏😉 We have a dressing room and I have no regrets lol.
Tip: for your poodle garbage can, Menards sells a clear "paint" that stops/covers rust and then you can paint over it. I just used in on original handrails on my 1958 home😉
My mom had electrolux vacuum. I love thrift stores the items sold bring back memories. I was born 1957. I like to see items of that era. I love 50's music.
The blue bulbs, we had on our tree when i was growing up, but all different colors. When I had a record player and the record was scratched, if you set something on the back of the needle (I had a small magnet) it will help keep the record from skipping. All the clothes look so pretty on you. Thanks for sharing Laci.🦩🐈
Omg the Asian figure planters are sooo adorable! You have a good eye!! 😍❤️ And I agree, thrift stores need to have thrift store prices since everything they receive is d-o-n-a-t-e-d!!
4:08 I know that box anywhere! I have a Veg-O-Matic in my great grandmother's shed!! Trust me, if I had the space in my bedroom, I'd bring in every single thing from that shed😂 I did bring in her 1950s radio, 1950s sewing machine, 1950s flour/sugar/coffee/tea tins, and 1930s guitar. Edit: Maybe the toes on the salt and pepper shakers are sticking out like that because the polish on her toes is still drying😂 17:27 I have the January 20, 1958 edition of Life, and more in the shed, I'm sure! I know you said some dresses weren't your style, but I thought you looked lovely in everything! Also, quick shoutout to my great grandma and my grandmother for saving these wonderful things for all these years❤
I absolutely love love LOVED the black with pink pintucked chiffon and sotache detail dress! It's so elegant!! The collection of kitties were also delightful - I've never seen one while thrifting but it's certainly a dream! My best recent finds were an immaculate 1920s peach silk step-in, a 1950s full-skirted black and orange dress, a 1960s white and yellow embroidered wiggle dress with matching sleeveless duster, a 1960s black wool knit wiggle dress with 3/4 sleeves, and a WW2-era purple formal silk kimono in excellent shape and a rare color for its age. It's been a REALLY good last few months in thrifting land!
I've noticed my thrift store prices are getting ridiculous for used items. And they hike the prices on pyrex versus other crockery...same with clothing. I try to go when they have sales, but I like to go often so I don't miss out 😁
I am happy I stumbled on you. I was born 1958. You “show and tell”. I am a man yet wish the days when men and women dressed as “Ladies and Gentlemen”. Today we (society) accepts anything. I own a 2004 Ford Thunderbird yes, it is a retro. I am stating this because it is unique in style and has more character than the vehicles of today. Like you Laci I collect old stuff however, you are a period specific and I like that. Well enough for now. Keep up your dream and I will watch you in your other “episodes”.
I love thrift store finds. In the early 1920’s when radio was new, my grand mother was the assistant to the lady that did the “on air cooking show” at KDKA in PA. I later found a spiral bound cook book from the time, I believe the author was the same woman. (My grandmother passed long ago so I couldn’t verify. ). My grand father was an engineer at KDKA during the first radio broadcast. I love antique radios and phonographs. Love to read the old Life magazines too. Especially the ads! Thank for doing this video. It’s just so much fun!
Absolutely love the things you found thrifting, especially the cats. I went to a local charity store yesterday and found some sunburst Christmas tree ornaments from 1968. They are definitely going on the tree this year.
Love all your finds! Bunny salt and pepper was my favorite....I love bunnies!! Have a real one too! Those ice lights, I had one in the 60's that was a night light! Love the cute trash can! Keep it as is! The old vacuum should still work, they lasted forever!! I think you can use cotton balls with essential oils on them for smells! The kitties are so cute!! My grandma collected little dog china animals. Gunne Sax are late 70's early 80's popular, my sister wore a lot of them. You are so cute in the black and pink dress...just so lovely!! The sundress is darling on you! You can find a cute bolero or wrap to go with it. The Mexican dress is so cute!! I love this haul you did...need to cook something with your new books and the great veg-a-matic!! I remember the commercials too!
The Islands was a hotel in Phoenix back in the day. Van Buren St/Grand Ave was the main drag and at the advent of the automobile, many people began travelling and so many motels/hotels (and restaurants) went up. A lot were themed. The Islands (and The KonTiki) were polynesian themed, with tiki torches, palm trees, lots of plants and bamboo. The attendants were similarly attired in beachy uniforms. Circa 40's-70's
Wife and I watch you. Your 100% right on the thrift store pricing comment! My wife and I have been surprised at some of those prices considering donated stock and minimal overhead....some Goodwills are known to be more like greedwills! The mom and pop or mission thrift stores are the absolute best!
I too have a set of the feet salt and peppers! They were my mom and dad's and I recall as a child being fascinated by them and used to play with them (gently of course!) They have pride of place on my mid century whatnot shelves.
Love your vids! Anytime I am crunching and stressing out at work…putting your vids on and listening is so calming! You’ve got me through many end of month crunches! ♥️
For that wiggle dress at least for now until you find something to go with it you can use scarves to drape over your shoulders to give it a more fancy nighttime look! 💕
I love everything! I love the bunny salt shakers! the tiki gear--totally need to have a tiki party video! And I love all the dresses, especially that black with the pink collar. I think Mexican-looking dress would be great for a Disney's Encanto look video! :)
The Harvey's Casino Top of the Wheel mugs there are 4 different ones, were still being sold in the 80's. I grew up in Tahoe and actually worked at Harvey's Casino when it was still family owned in the 80's Good times! Love the Asian figurines I look for those first when I treasure hunt, I mean shop for vintage LOL Love your style and thank you for all the wonderful content!
I am so envious of your frosted bulbs! We have vintage strings from my childhood and they are so expensive to try and replace. I wish they would reproduce them! The plastic over the bulb really diffuses the light and looks gorgeous. One of my favorite memories from being a kid is inching my way under the Christmas tree (It was always in a corner and always had to be a long needled white pine because I hated short needles. XD) And I loved looking up through the branches at the lights and tinsel. It smelled amazing and looked beautiful! I would occasionally take naps there while we had the tree up. [edit] I've seen a couple people mention using essential oils in the vacuum attachment -if you want to go that route I would speak to your vet first. A lot of essential oils are pretty toxic to kitties even in small doses.
When I was in high school, Gunne Sax was super popular. There was an outlet in San Francisco and everyone tried to get up there to get their dresses for prom.
I’m an Arizona native. The islands is a burger restaurant that is “ island” themed. They’ve had specials for as long as i can remember that you can buy expensive drinks in tiki mugs. The restaurant was created in 1982.
💖 I luv vintage kitchen items, salt and pepper shakers and cookbooks are my fav to collect. Anything unique and Pyrex....ok, basically anything kitchen related 😊😁
When I was a kid (I’m 63 ) my Mom had the cat that’s on your TV , it was part of a set that was the Mama cat. There was a large brandy glass from which a kitten was hanging off the lip of the glass and there was a praying mouse inside the brandy glass. I loved it so much my Mom let me keep it on my dresser. It was about 1963. Thanks for the memory.
I love your channel! The vacuum takes me back to childhood days. Mum had that one. It was in a closet under the steps and it had a nest of mice make a home in it! I believe the hose was cloth over a coiled spring. Good luck on finding one.
The Islands was a bar and restaurant that opened in 1958 it's no longer in operation. In mid 70s it was known as Tommy Wongs's Island - Tommy Wong had purchased the restaurant and owned it for few years towards the end. Some time in the 80s, the building was razed. I loved your finds!! How I wish I can go shopping with you LOL I never seem to find anything this good. Thank you for making my Monday WAY better!!!
Great show! I loved the vintage kitties. And, my favorite dress was the very last one. I think it looks more Gypsy than Mexican. My mom had an outfit that looked very similar, only it was a skirt with a peasant type top that tucked in and worn with a wide belt! When I was about nine or ten, she tailored it down to fit me as a Halloween costume! (She was quite the seamstress!) Add a head scarf, gaudy jewelry, and bright makeup and voila, you got a little Gypsy girl! Haha! I'm looking forward to your next video! They make me smile! Thank for that!! Peace and joy to you and yours.
I would LOVE that cream cheese sammie! It was their attempt at healthy lol. Think of the sandwich filling as if it was a chip dip. I make veggie dip often for company and they love it. I use the Knorr dry mix for it. I was born in 1959, and it was very common to have jello with grated veggies, then it was topped with a small dollop of mayo. It's delicious! Your videos are always fun to watch. tfs 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡 My Mom had the hugging s&p shakers but hers were medium brown bears. The black dress is just stunning !!!! I LOVE it !!!! You bring back a lot of memories Thanks ! :) 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
One of the cool things with bakalite in the day was the colours. I'm looking for a bakalite radio for our antique room 🤔☕. Our Electrolux vacuum came with a rug shampoo attachment, funny thing is it worked !
I have two of those little people carrying water buckets figures like yours! My godparents were stationed in Japan in the 1960s, and they sent my parents quite a few things, most of which I now have. Mine have red and green shirts instead of blue.
I have some 1958 cookbooks that Mom received when my parents got married. Some of the jello mold recipes in those books are super scary! lol I also used their old Electrolux vacuum up until around 2016 until it finally died. They don’t make vacuums like that anymore.
Love your channel! The Islands in Phoenix Az The Islands was a Polynesian restaurant just south of Camelback Road in Phoenix, operating from 1958 through at least the '70s. It had four rooms: the Tapa Bar, the Tiki Room, the Cannibal Room, and the Waterfall Room, which was available for private events when it wasn't used for live music and dancing,Some time in the '80s, the building was razed.
Hey sweetheart! I love the ‘feet’ salt n pepper shakers! So out there!!🥰 Some wonderful pieces doll, hurrah to thrifting🙌 So up for another gadget demo! Xx💜
My great-aunt had a collection of salt/pepper shakers. I use to love looking at all of them when I was a kid. She had a small room with shelves, full of them.
Laci, are you watching Ratched on Netflix? All set in 1940s CA. Beautiful wardrobes, autos, buildings, fixtures etc. Filled with outstanding fashion & Art deco EVERYTHING! I am a new sub to your channel & I do not know how I missed you for so long. I adore your home & sensibiity, I myself am only a collector of vintage not a dresser nor living in vintage. I have a smallish Bakelite, CA pottery, Hull, McCoy, Shawnee & a few unsigned unknown pieces of pottery. A smallish vintage jewelry collection & some other vintage household odds & ends. I have quite a few vintage cookbooks that I love. Much love to you & yours, Laci I am so glad I found you & your wonderful channel.♥️♥️♥️
Of course the hoarder house would have a vacuum cleaner in good condition lol 😂 they never used it. Great find on everything & yes thrift store shouldn't be charging the full value of an item 🤦🏼♀️
Great finds! And lovely house❤️. I like thrifting but I live in London and it's a mixed bag. Some shops are like high end boutiques. You learn what shops to avoid as they clearly look items up on ebay and come up with crazy prizes. Of course, thrift stores here are for charities but come on, somebody donated that. And lately, people has been donated way too much to the point shops have been refusing donations.
I really enjoy your videos. I love the clothing and your home decor. I am gonna purchase a couple dresses myself, thanks to you. You are very classy. Thank you, stay healthy 😊
K-Y brand dresses created a lot of Patio dresses and square dance dresses. The style you have would have been worn for poolside parties, barbeque, picnics and of course dances. My husband and I are avid square dancers and I'm thankful and blessed top have a stack of beautiful square dance dresses passed down through various clubs and thrifted from eBay. Lucky lady, whatever you paid for that dress it was a bargain!
Of course you had to have the poodle trash can! Bejeweled, pink and with a poodle .... come on!! And that bag of cats is amazing. Great finds, all around, and at such amazing prices. Way to go!
Just found this gorgeous channel! OMG! I so love your style and aesthetic! I love wearing a classic look also, but from the sixties and seventies. I can’t wait to watch all your videos, so excited 🥰
I have an Osterizer with the original recipe book too. I still use it. Have newspapers from JFK assassination and a paper record with a speech from Ronald Reagan that came in the mail when he was campaigning for CA governor. Love that wastebasket! The dresses are gorgeous and look great on you. What fun!
My mother would only buy and use Electrolux brand vacume cleaners I love vintage yesterday at an antique store I bought a large white Persian kitty With with green eyes love it
I love your videos. I recognize so much. Its wonderful to see you treasure things that in my childhood was so worn out and trashed. Great to see them reclaimed.
My son is a vacuum collector and he said you can get a hose for it but it won’t be an original because the originals were made with felt and didn’t stand the test of time. You can get one that would work, though, on line at evacuumstore. Look for Electrolux model XXX hose. Good luck😊
I think you could easily fix the garbage can. Use a small soft wire brush tool(they sell them in a variety set at Dollar store) gently remove the large bubbles of rust, then hand apply rust-oleum (spray it on something that you can dip a brush or qtip in) dabbing it on the rusted areas(use the kind of rust- oleum that turns rust back into metal), then you could even find a matching nail polish to dab over those areas😊 Happy Repairing! 💕 Think it would make a great project video. You could try it on one area, then film another area?
The electrolux vacuum is such a score!!! It was the vacuum Igrew up with and took from home (originally a grandparent's hand-me-down to my dad) when I moved to college, (im 39 years old) it was the best vacuum I have ever used, nothing new compares!!! Hope u find all the attachments!!!
What a fun find video,,love the kitties and shakers ,love everything,,,I found three vintage kitty brooches on eBay as nothing around our charity shops at min,,I'm going to share my kitty's with you so look out for postage all the way from n, Ireland ,u,k,, dresses are gorgeous on you ,,so happy to be a vintage neighbour,,,❤️🍵🙋
With the wastebasket how about just a white border of white Rust O Leum (?) paint? Will stop the rust and won't ruin the rest of the finish or the dog. Have to do a demo with the vacum when you get all the parts. Love the "wiggle" dress on you. How about an evening shawl? Something kind of "floaty"?

I REMEMBER RIDING ON THE ELECTROLUX VACUUM AS A KID IN THE 50's WHEN MOM WAS VACUUMING. SHE WAS STILL USING THAT VACUUM IN THE 80's. LOL!!
Stuff was made to last back in the day. I think I’ve purchased 2 vacuums in 5 years!

My Mom sold Elextrolux lol they did last a long time as long as you could get bags for them lol ;)
My grandmother gave me hers from the 80's and it works fantastic and I anticipate having for my whole life.
Same Pyrex divided snowflake casserole dish with lid here in Bucks County, PA priced at $46, here at a "vintage" shop. Laci Fay you got a bargain at $8 total. Thumbs up!
The little bloopers at the beginning of your videos are so funny! Especially when they involve the cats.

Hi Lacy I love ❤️ your 1950s home 🏠 it’s soo cute 😊.I love watching your videos
We had that exact Veg-O-Matic when I was a kid. We used it to cut potatoes into french fries that we would fry in a big, green enamel deep fryer.
I too have a set of the feet salt and peppers! They were my mom and dad's and I recall as a child being fascinated by them and used to play with them (gently of course!) They have pride of place on my mid century whatnot shelves.

The peach lace dress you got for free took me back. I had the identical dress in yellow for my prom in 1981! Looks good on you.
When I was in high school, Gunne Sax was super popular. There was an outlet in San Francisco and everyone tried to get up there to get their dresses for prom.
That name sounds so scandinavian....
When my sister graduated from hs (1978) she wore a white Gunne Sax dress. She was so proud it was "Gunne Sax:; meant nothing to me.
$2 for all those kitties... you are so lucky. ♥️
I’m an Arizona native. The islands is a burger restaurant that is “ island” themed. They’ve had specials for as long as i can remember that you can buy expensive drinks in tiki mugs. The restaurant was created in 1982.
Wow Laci! Had to comment on how good you look in all your clothes you thrifted! You really know how to model with so much class!!
💖 I luv vintage kitchen items, salt and pepper shakers and cookbooks are my fav to collect. Anything unique and Pyrex....ok, basically anything kitchen related 😊😁
When I was a kid (I’m 63 ) my Mom had the cat that’s on your TV , it was part of a set that was the Mama cat. There was a large brandy glass from which a kitten was hanging off the lip of the glass and there was a praying mouse inside the brandy glass. I loved it so much my Mom let me keep it on my dresser. It was about 1963. Thanks for the memory.
I love your channel! The vacuum takes me back to childhood days. Mum had that one. It was in a closet under the steps and it had a nest of mice make a home in it! I believe the hose was cloth over a coiled spring. Good luck on finding one.
The Islands was a bar and restaurant that opened in 1958 it's no longer in operation. In mid 70s it was known as Tommy Wongs's Island - Tommy Wong had purchased the restaurant and owned it for few years towards the end. Some time in the 80s, the building was razed. I loved your finds!! How I wish I can go shopping with you LOL I never seem to find anything this good. Thank you for making my Monday WAY better!!!
Love the opening smirk face we soooo need a funko doll of that !!!! Stay awesome
What nice finds! I love the cats and the salt and pepper shakers! Also clothes are cute!
Love the poodle rubbish bin. Use fine sandpaper to get the rust off. Then use matching nail polish or craft enamel paint used for painting models.
You have the best thrift stores! I LOVE the feet salt and pepper shakers...lol. My favorite dress was the black and pink one. ♥️
Love your show. Totally unique. Your blue, oriental planter may be, in fact, a toothpick holder. Look in to that.
I thought the same thing.
Great show! I loved the vintage kitties. And, my favorite dress was the very last one. I think it looks more Gypsy than Mexican. My mom had an outfit that looked very similar, only it was a skirt with a peasant type top that tucked in and worn with a wide belt! When I was about nine or ten, she tailored it down to fit me as a Halloween costume! (She was quite the seamstress!) Add a head scarf, gaudy jewelry, and bright makeup and voila, you got a little Gypsy girl! Haha! I'm looking forward to your next video! They make me smile! Thank for that!! Peace and joy to you and yours.
You look great in everything you try on. I love all your thrifted and vintage items!
We used to make french fries with the Veg o Matic when I was growing up!
I would LOVE that cream cheese sammie! It was their attempt at healthy lol. Think of the sandwich filling as if it was a chip dip. I make veggie dip often for company and they love it. I use the Knorr dry mix for it. I was born in 1959, and it was very common to have jello with grated veggies, then it was topped with a small dollop of mayo. It's delicious! Your videos are always fun to watch. tfs 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡 My Mom had the hugging s&p shakers but hers were medium brown bears. The black dress is just stunning !!!! I LOVE it !!!! You bring back a lot of memories Thanks ! :) 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
We had those torches around our pool in the mid/ late 60's. They were so festive at night.
One of the cool things with bakalite in the day was the colours. I'm looking for a bakalite radio for our antique room 🤔☕. Our Electrolux vacuum came with a rug shampoo attachment, funny thing is it worked !
Loving your 1950/ 60s haul. I love the 1960s and 70s. Not into 80 and beyond stuff.
I have two of those little people carrying water buckets figures like yours! My godparents were stationed in Japan in the 1960s, and they sent my parents quite a few things, most of which I now have. Mine have red and green shirts instead of blue.
I have some 1958 cookbooks that Mom received when my parents got married. Some of the jello mold recipes in those books are super scary! lol
I also used their old Electrolux vacuum up until around 2016 until it finally died. They don’t make vacuums like that anymore.
Wow how cool I love the fact that she loves all her precious antique items it is a trip haha but a good one back to the 40’s
The mexican style dress looks super cute on you! Not everyone could pull off a colorful puffy dress like that. 👏
Love your channel! The Islands in Phoenix Az The Islands was a Polynesian restaurant just south of Camelback Road in Phoenix, operating from 1958 through at least the '70s. It had four rooms: the Tapa Bar, the Tiki Room, the Cannibal Room, and the Waterfall Room, which was available for private events when it wasn't used for live music and dancing,Some time in the '80s, the building was razed.
I can see how happy you are in the Mexican dress!! It is so beautiful! I love the back train-ish style too!!
The scent you could use, would be Downey pearl's. Beautiful job on the shine on the vacuum 👍.
Hey sweetheart!
I love the ‘feet’ salt n pepper shakers! So out there!!🥰
Some wonderful pieces doll, hurrah to thrifting🙌 So up for another gadget demo! Xx💜
My great-aunt had a collection of salt/pepper shakers. I use to love looking at all of them when I was a kid. She had a small room with shelves, full of them.
@@rosew1 How wonderful! 🥰
I love all the dresses. They all look gorgeous on you.
Laci, are you watching Ratched on Netflix? All set in 1940s CA. Beautiful wardrobes, autos, buildings, fixtures etc. Filled with outstanding fashion & Art deco EVERYTHING! I am a new sub to your channel & I do not know how I missed you for so long. I adore your home & sensibiity, I myself am only a collector of vintage not a dresser nor living in vintage. I have a smallish Bakelite, CA pottery, Hull, McCoy, Shawnee & a few unsigned unknown pieces of pottery. A smallish vintage jewelry collection & some other vintage household odds & ends. I have quite a few vintage cookbooks that I love. Much love to you & yours, Laci I am so glad I found you & your wonderful channel.♥️♥️♥️
Love it! The trash can great find!
Of course the hoarder house would have a vacuum cleaner in good condition lol 😂 they never used it. Great find on everything & yes thrift store shouldn't be charging the full value of an item 🤦🏼♀️
Lol right?! It probably sat for years! Thank you!!
Great finds! And lovely house❤️. I like thrifting but I live in London and it's a mixed bag. Some shops are like high end boutiques. You learn what shops to avoid as they clearly look items up on ebay and come up with crazy prizes. Of course, thrift stores here are for charities but come on, somebody donated that. And lately, people has been donated way too much to the point shops have been refusing donations.
I really enjoy your videos. I love the clothing and your home decor. I am gonna purchase a couple dresses myself, thanks to you. You are very classy. Thank you, stay healthy 😊
Ugh that last multi color dress. So gorgeous. Reminds me of Kathryn Grayson in Anchors Aweigh
Oh my! I was so excited to see the frosted bulbs. It took me back to my childhood Christmas 🎄.
K-Y brand dresses created a lot of Patio dresses and square dance dresses. The style you have would have been worn for poolside parties, barbeque, picnics and of course dances. My husband and I are avid square dancers and I'm thankful and blessed top have a stack of beautiful square dance dresses passed down through various clubs and thrifted from eBay. Lucky lady, whatever you paid for that dress it was a bargain!
Omg! The black 1940's dress 💖🥰 Zoom "tea party" ☕🍸
Wouldn’t that be fun!
Of course you had to have the poodle trash can! Bejeweled, pink and with a poodle .... come on!! And that bag of cats is amazing. Great finds, all around, and at such amazing prices. Way to go!
What great exciting finds 😍 oh my gosh the pink Poodle trash bin
I am a genuine 1950s girl. My birthday is 1955 January 1st, born one minute after midnight. You have really captured the period.
Just found this gorgeous channel! OMG! I so love your style and aesthetic! I love wearing a classic look also, but from the sixties and seventies. I can’t wait to watch all your videos, so excited 🥰
We used to have those frosted bulb Christmas lights when I was growing up. Very cool!
The salt and pepper shakers are too cute!! And the kitties!
I have an Osterizer with the original recipe book too. I still use it. Have newspapers from JFK assassination and a paper record with a speech from Ronald Reagan that came in the mail when he was campaigning for CA governor. Love that wastebasket! The dresses are gorgeous and look great on you. What fun!
My mother would only buy and use Electrolux brand vacume cleaners I love vintage yesterday at an antique store I bought a large white Persian kitty
With with green eyes love it
Love everything you showed us. I love to "collect", and decorate my house with vintage and retro also.
I love your videos. I recognize so much. Its wonderful to see you treasure things that in my childhood was so worn out and trashed. Great to see them reclaimed.
My son is a vacuum collector and he said you can get a hose for it but it won’t be an original because the originals were made with felt and didn’t stand the test of time. You can get one that would work, though, on line at evacuumstore. Look for Electrolux model XXX hose. Good luck😊
I think you could easily fix the garbage can. Use a small soft wire brush tool(they sell them in a variety set at Dollar store) gently remove the large bubbles of rust, then hand apply rust-oleum (spray it on something that you can dip a brush or qtip in) dabbing it on the rusted areas(use the kind of rust- oleum that turns rust back into metal), then you could even find a matching nail polish to dab over those areas😊 Happy Repairing! 💕
Think it would make a great project video. You could try it on one area, then film another area?
The electrolux vacuum is such a score!!! It was the vacuum Igrew up with and took from home (originally a grandparent's hand-me-down to my dad) when I moved to college, (im 39 years old) it was the best vacuum I have ever used, nothing new compares!!! Hope u find all the attachments!!!
Oh that’s awesome! Yes! I’m excited to piece it together.
What a fun find video,,love the kitties and shakers ,love everything,,,I found three vintage kitty brooches on eBay as nothing around our charity shops at min,,I'm going to share my kitty's with you so look out for postage all the way from n, Ireland ,u,k,, dresses are gorgeous on you ,,so happy to be a vintage neighbour,,,❤️🍵🙋
Loved the salt and pepper shakers and the black and pink 40’s dress! They were my favorites.
The Electrolux is FANTASTIC 🎉
Just joined you and love this! OMG would SO love a vintage gadget vid! I'm a 50s kid so have great memories
With the wastebasket how about just a white border of white Rust O Leum (?) paint? Will stop the rust and won't ruin the rest of the finish or the dog. Have to do a demo with the vacum when you get all the parts. Love the "wiggle" dress on you. How about an evening shawl? Something kind of "floaty"?
