Thanks for joining me as hubby and I do some thrift shopping in Delaware! Stay tuned to the end to see what we bought! Be sure to give us a thumbs up and subscribe! Thanks!
great to re-do vintage finds. WE just called "Early Attic" when i got married 45 years ago! I am still thrilled with the hunt! Thanks for your inspiration!!
Lol! Same for me too! I see fun and creativity there! Agree 100%. It’s minimalism…no warmth! I decorate, craft, refinish for me! It’s an opportunity for creativity galore! I would love to see how your husband revives the old skillets!
So glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for chiming in😊 I will pass on that message to my hubby and see if he is willing to share the process for cast iron restoration!
Thank you for giving us a tour of Oma's. I have visited several times since I saw your episode and have found sooo many treasures. Oma is definitely a treasure also. She is so sweet. Her prices are amazing.
Sounds like you have shopped at Oma’s too! She has so many treasures - let’s try to get these pieces and keep them around longer and out of the landfills😊
Oh my goodness. Im 74 and I learned shorthand in Business College,lol. I don’t remember how many words a minute I could do but I received an A+ in the class. I would have loved that book…ahhhh Nostalgia,lol. I think that was a toy fence for a farm toy.
My grandparents in Texas lived in the country and I remember my grandmother used to bury the glass medicine bottles in a section of the yard. I've seen baskets like those, they are picnic baskets, they would have some utensils and napkins as a set. I wish we were neighbors, that looks like so much fun thrifting and looking at the old stuff. I am over 60 and recognize a lot from that old barn.
Woohoo for Texas! I was born in Austin! I’m regretting not getting those medicine bottles- I might have to go back! I think you are spot on about that basket! Thanks😊😊
Patriots! Love it! Yes, the new stuff these days is sketchy at best. Thank you for repurposing so many good quality items, keeping them out of the junk pile. Can’t wait to see what you’ll do with your treasures!
Our good will has gotten expensive for the quality of products. I hope you the cooper vase and silver. I agree with you about the quality and the old stuff. Gorgeous plate.
I think the wood thing you were looking at is a folding fence. Seems like Hearthsong used to sell something like that with their horses and barn. I think😊
Oh my, Oma’s is wonderful. Agree about today’s furniture. I have an apartment that consists of mostly thrifted and “good” old furniture. Love your shows.
So much fun watching the 2 of you! Warms my heart and broke out laughing at Steve getting ready to fight for those brass candlesticks! Love him!!! Your handsome costar!! 💕 One's is AMAZING!! So wish I lived closer and could go picking there. I am on the hunt for either wrought iron fencing or an old wrought iron bed to display in the garden and I betcha she has a BUNCH! We gotta get back to the good ole days of American made! Right there with you both!! 'Merica 💓💓
Thanks! He is such a funny man! Steve has been telling me fibs for the last 40 years and I love it. He has some good comebacks😂😂 your garden pieces sound awesome! I hope you find them😊
You guys are a few years younger than me (1959), but I have the same memories! I took Gregg shorthand in HS and worked as a legal secretary in NY for many years. When I became a teacher, I would write words in shorthand on the board, and my kids would freak out when I read the words back to them!! Any way to get their attention! Love your videos; I will be commenting on each one that I watch, so fair warning!! lol
Haha!! I would be thrilled if you commented on the videos you watch! It helps me so much 😊 One of my sisters took shorthand and used it for work a lot. She still uses it when jotting notes to herself!
Missed the beginning but watching out now! Oma's Oldies was amazing! I could stay there all day and still not see it all. I really enjoyed watching and listening to you shop.❤❤
I agree with you 100% Support American made all the way, as much as you can at least! TFS God Bless You & God Bless America! Land that I love, Stand beside her and...
Cindy, you are a woman after my own heart! I agree with you 100% on many of the things you talked about, our tastes are the same, and I would have loved shopping with you at Oma's Oldies! Like you did with your children, my parents shopped that way with me and my siblings, and so it's in my blood! I loved all of your purchases and can't wait to see what you do with everything! BTW, you cracked me up at the beginning of the video when you picked up the silver pitcher that had a broken foot and said "I don't think I want to go down that road again"! See you soon!
Thank you Lori! We are in good company 😊 I have so many sweet memories of shopping at Oma’s for the last 35+ years! I will be sure to go back in the coming weeks so stay tuned! Thanks for watching 🥰
@@ReinventedDelaware Yes it is. Thanks for replying. It give others ideas of what to look for and at the same time it's frustrating knowing you'll never find the same item and you love it so much. Lol. I honestly didn't realize it was a live as I was getting ready for church. I thought I'd watch. I'll cat h your live next time and watch tonight's live tomorrow. God bless and Happy crafting!!
Looking forward to you painting the bag, interested in what colour you chose. I took shorthand in high school along with typing I and II and business math. The rough looking dresser, I would turn into a bathroom vanity, or redo it and use it for it’s purpose. My daughter had that type of child’s chair/ step stool. I think the lid was on backwards as well on the basket. I also, think that’s a cute idea, hopefully you bought those two pieces and show us on your tutorial vlog. It’s a shame the bees were preventing you from getting the banister! Would be interested in seeing what you do with it. Love the story of the barn, shame you can no longer go in there! I wholeheartedly agree with you about not taking care of things, if you take the time to redo the items they will last longer than the things you buy nowadays! Things were made to last back then, plus they took pride in their things.
So true - craftsman took pride in what they made. Now we are in a ‘throw it out and get a new one’ mindset. Agh!! BTW, that dresser would have made a lovely bathroom vanity. Here is one we made a couple of years ago: www.reinventeddelaware.com/repurposed-dresser-converted-to-bathroom-vanity/ Thanks for watching and I’m so glad you enjoyed the video!
Just watched the tutorial you suggested and loved it! I definitely am going to give it a go. My next door neighbour is a builder and he does bathroom instillations and is going to help me. Sorry, no offence to my hubby, but he wouldn’t be able to help me! Lol!
I love how much you get to go thrifting!!! I’m so jealous! Going garage sale-ing tomorrow and I’m so excited!!! ❤ thanks for taking us along with you!! PS I’m on the lookout for ironstone plates for the wall too 😉
I’m all about urinals and chamber pots and any cool lids - can’t wait to see the ideas for them - right now I just have a bunch! I am plant a couple succulents in the one glass urinal I believe it will be quite the conversation piece
Hi! I finally got to finish, I still got my sister short handed book, when I was young I always thought that was amazing! I live in a small town, the goodwill store here is expensive, Belk is in the same strip mall, you can get clothes on clearance better prices than the Goodwill . Thanks!
Our Goodwill individually prices household items. The only things with fixed prices are clothes. I'm in Florida and our Goodwill usually overprices stuff. I've seen stuff from the Dollar Tree picked up to $5.00. it's ridiculous!
Cindy, you n I have a lot in common…. You love the old. I have to agree with you. It is so sad to see all that was made in the good ole’ USA is still standing tall… lasting! If I ended up at that Linda’s I would thought I died n went to Heaven. Oh my goodness, I’d be there for days. So much to see n I have no problem digging through anything. I collect Ironstone n I bet I’d find some cool pieces there. I like all the goodies you found. The plates are cool. The basket you got at Goodwill is not backwards. The lid is on correctly. The square like holes was the opening n most likely had leather straps that flipped down to another piece n had a little brass like piece that turned to lock it. Don’t change it. Put ribbon on them n you can tie it closed. Hope that helps. I’m really excited to see how you do that blue n red bag. Will keep my eye out for the video when it comes out. You had a successful day. Gosh wish I lived close to Delaware but I’m in Florida. That’s to long of a drive for me LOL. ♥️♥️😊👍👍🌟🌟
You and I are in good company! 🇺🇸🇺🇸 Isn’t Linda’s amazing? Thanks for the info about the basket - I’m going to try to find a picture of it new so I can get a clear idea in my head. Thanks so much for commenting and watching 😊😊
@@ReinventedDelaware Your so welcome. I enjoy what you do as I try to do the same but the best part is you like old wood n if it can be saved instead of painting it that’s a winner to me. If you ever have a vacation n wanting to come to Florida I’m in Sarasota. We have the best beaches with pure white sand. You your husband are welcomed to stay at my house. I have a big bedroom n I’m a heck of lot cheaper than a Air BnB or Motels. I lost my husband a year ago with dementia n it sure would be nice to have company. I try to stay busy but it still gets lonely. We celebrated 52 years together in 2021 n a year later he was gone. I do have Fri but they never come around.
@@shellydehart8217 you are so sweet to offer! Thank you so much 😊 Feel free to watch any of the videos we share and consider it a little visit from me. Big hugs to you 🥰🥰
I’ve heard that! Our local Good will stores are all priced this way. The home goods section sometimes has different prices on more valuable pieces. Sometimes those prices are high IMHO😊
My area too. The Goodwill outlet is the best place to purchase things of that nature at a deal. Though your taking a chance that more is wrong with the piece. Prices have gone stupid crazy on Goodwill's. I mean there is no delivery charges 🤷 no extra gas being used. Buying at the outlet for a bundled price by weight is great.
@@aunt_b3365 I wish we had a Goodwill outlet near us. I will be visiting family in Virginia soon and they have one near them so…. Maybe I will stop in!
Thanks for joining me as hubby and I do some thrift shopping in Delaware! Stay tuned to the end to see what we bought! Be sure to give us a thumbs up and subscribe! Thanks!
great to re-do vintage finds. WE just called "Early Attic" when i got married 45 years ago! I am still thrilled with the hunt! Thanks for your inspiration!!
Omgoodness, I love that "Early Attic" - that is the perfect term! Thanks for watching!
That wooden piece that unfolded is a wooden fence for toy animals. My boys had one when they were little 25 years ago.
Omgoodness I bet you are right! I can just imagine a little farm scene with this little fence! Thank you😊
Lol! Same for me too! I see fun and creativity there! Agree 100%. It’s minimalism…no warmth! I decorate, craft, refinish for me! It’s an opportunity for creativity galore! I would love to see how your husband revives the old skillets!

That’s so exciting that you have been able to shop at Oma’s! She has amazing deals😊
Enjoy your channel. I to was born in1963! Love Seeing other people who share my love wanting to preserve our past treasures😀
1963 was a good year! Let’s continue to hunt out vintage goodies and give them a second chance🥰
What a great place! Please show more of these picking adventures!!!
We are planning on it! Thanks for watching 🥰
Oma’s is a treasure trove ❤❤. I absolutely agree with you about valuing the older American made items. We need to preserve as much of it as we can!
Sounds like you have shopped at Oma’s too! She has so many treasures - let’s try to get these pieces and keep them around longer and out of the landfills😊
Amen on that one. We just don't make things as good as yesteryear. 😢
@@aunt_b3365 Truth!!
Oh my goodness. Im 74 and I learned shorthand in Business College,lol. I don’t remember how many words a minute I could do but I received an A+ in the class. I would have loved that book…ahhhh Nostalgia,lol. I think that was a toy fence for a farm toy.
I think you are correct about the toy fence folding thingy! BTW, I went back for the shorthand book and it was already sold🥲

Now, I can hardly wait to watch. I love looking at old things. Dear to my heart.
@@aunt_b3365 The old stuff is dear to my heart too😊
I would love to get in that building! I could spend the day there!!! Ty for sharing
Me too! We used to be able to get in but it’s closed down now. All the good stuff is in there and it drives me crazy that I can’t get in!😳
Patriots! Love it! Yes, the new stuff these days is sketchy at best. Thank you for repurposing so many good quality items, keeping them out of the junk pile. Can’t wait to see what you’ll do with your treasures!
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 all the way!! Stay tuned for upcoming projects my friend 😊
This is history..... What treasures.
Truth!! Linda’s shop is a treasure !
Our good will has gotten expensive for the quality of products. I hope you the cooper vase and silver. I agree with you about the quality and the old stuff. Gorgeous plate.
That’s too bad about the prices. So far our goodwill still has reasonable prices 😊

I bet you are right! Thank you😊
Oh my, Oma’s is wonderful. Agree about today’s furniture. I have an apartment that consists of mostly thrifted and “good” old furniture. Love your shows.
I bet you have some great pieces for your place😊 Thanks for watching and I’m so glad you enjoy the videos!

Loved seeing Oma’s! F I ever find myself in Delaware, I’ll definitely visit 😊

My kind of place I agree on what you were talking about 🇺🇸 USA

I collected 1961 plates and then used them for my birthday dinner!
Such a great idea!😊

Okey dokey! We will look for some cast iron and I will have him show us how!
Sterno cans for the chafing dish. Squirrel!! At Linda's shop.

Our area thrift store has a color code each week. If your item is greem tagged and its green week, then whatever the price, its only 2 dollars.

The green-and-white bowl is Currier and Ives

Ughhh Oma's stupid computer! 😒
I completely understand😊
