Loved the purse. I personally like it as is with the green patina. It would be beautiful hanging with some lace and dried flowers tucked in; like a wall pocket.
My favorite has got to be Mr. LUIS!!!! That character and his tail steals the show every time!!!😊 I also really liked the table runner...lovely colors!
Great mind thrift alike LOL! With Kaitlin just starting out in her first home, she needs all the help she can get. I am fortunate that I am able to help her. Hugs.
Nice haul, Joanne. My favorite is the Willow figure and the witch. Thanks for sharing. Have a Blessed day. BTW, on the vintage bag, suede can be revived by holding it over a kettle of steaming water then lightly brushing. I had suede shoes when I was a teen and the store clerk gave me that tip.
The antique/vintage handbag frame has a brass content. With time brass or copper will form verdigris which is a form of oxidation. (You sometimes see verdigris on old jewelry which is contagious to other jewelry) Fresh lemon juice on a Q-tip should remove. Wire brush will scratch most likely. 😻
It was so hard to pick a favorite item but I think the acrylic items as a whole were the best to me, then the Tupperware and the baby heads! Looks like Louis does not like the camera getting more attention than him-LOL! Thank you also for the vintage Halloween pail tip- will look out for that in the future. Halloween is my favorite holiday!
Oh absolutely, Louis must be the center of attention. He is such a ham. You're welcome for that tip, I learned it from someone else, so I am passing it on. Hugs.
Cats nibble when they love you! My cat will do it when he thinks he is notvgetting enough attention.probably a Louis thing as well. ❤ I don't do H but I love the storage items you scored for your daughter.
Louis must love the heck out of me then. I think they do call those 'love bites' right? It isn't hard at all. He never breaks the skin or leaves a mark of any kind. Louis is like having a toddler around the house 24/7. Hugs.
Hi Joanne Really enjoyed the auction. I went a couple weeks ago. I bought a antique desk. It was my first. And😮 so much fun. Great treasure you found. See ya in the next one. Happy shopping and a great week. Hugs to you and your critters.
The auction was such fun and they did an amazing job. This was the first time have done a live auction. They hold online auctions every week. It was even the first time for some of the auctioneers. Hugs.
Hi, Joanne! Loved the haul. My favorite was the witch. She is cute! That plastic container you thought you could use for makeup brushes looks like it had a lid. Like those storage containers. I have several that I use for dry goods. Hugs to all! 🐈⬛🥰💜👍🐈⬛ I did watch the beginning of the auction but forgot to go back because I was making dinner. I will watch it later.
I mentioned the containers to my daughter, and she didn't seem too impressed. But is she doesn't use them; I am sure that I will. Watch the auction video as background when you are doing something else. Hugs.
Just a thought about the styrofoam skull - I’d leave the teeth white and simply outline them with black marker. I think I saw a bar code on the pumpkin bucket label. Bar codes were not used until 1974, so maybe the 1968 on the pumpkin bucket was the year that the company opened, or the year they copyrighted the specific design of the pumpkin, but the pumpkin had to be 1974 or later to have a bar code. 2 favorites this week - the Willow Tree and the lantern. And maybe the witch.
The bar code you saw was from the thrift store price sticker. The bucket doesn't have one. The 1968 is the year it was produced. So happy I found that piece at such a great price. It was my lucky find for sure. Hugs.
You are a fantastic Mom buying all those organization containers for your daughter! I could take a lesson from you on how to organize my house. I used to be great at it but now I've lost my way. I can't find anything in my house. It's become a sickness hahahaha!
I am not the most organized person I know but I try. If you start out organized, it is so much easier than trying to start it mid-way. That is what I am trying to instill in her. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't LOL! Hugs.
I love the witch! It looks like it matches an Owl I found last week in Cary. My grandsons love Owls, so I took it to them. I wanted to go to your booth, but they close at 5 and I'm in Raleigh Thursdays from 5-6 :( I might have to see if I can get there on a Saturday. She's a perfect match for the owl!
How cool. I wish the mall was open until 6pm during the week, but I guess they have their reason why they close at 5pm. Hope you can make it on Saturday. Hugs.
My favorite is the Amber lantern. Very unique. The little air plant holders are so cute. Love the haul. Have you finished decorating your daughters rooms. Hope we get to see it. Lewis wants attention from mama. Lol
I have not finished Kaitlin's room. I am planning on going tomorrow to put the second coat of paint on the whole room then the fun of decorating can start. Hugs from Louis and the rest of my crew.
Your purse clasp is probably brass, the green is polish residue. Just use a wet brush to get it off. You could use brass cleaner and a toothbrush to clean it completely. Just make sure you protect the material part.
My favorite was the vintage purse ❤hello Louis 😘💙
I just love vintage purses. Louis and the crew send hugs.
Loved the purse. I personally like it as is with the green patina. It would be beautiful hanging with some lace and dried flowers tucked in; like a wall pocket.
I may just try the purse as is first and see if someone would like it in this state and if not, then clean it up. Thanks for the thought. Hugs.
That table runner is beautiful. Looks high quality. Hugs!
It is a very thick, heavy runner. No tag on it, so I don't know who made it or where it came from. Hugs.
Love the amber lantern so pretty and fitting for the fall season. Hugs
I completely agree. Hugs.
I love how your sweet cat enjoys free range in your home!!❤❤
He should, he owns it (or at least he thinks he does LOL!) Hugs.
My fave is your fave … again! I watched some of that auction! Looking forward to seeing your haul! Hugs! 💓💓💓
Oh, my goodness, we had such a good time. I just can't wait for the next one. What a great way to spend a Saturday evening. Hugs.
My favorite has got to be Mr. LUIS!!!! That character and his tail steals the show every time!!!😊 I also really liked the table runner...lovely colors!
I think that tail has a mind of its own. Hugs.
Another great episode. I love the amber lantern! It just inspires visions of cozy autumn evenings!
It really does, doesn't it. I love the fall. Hugs.
The pumpkin bucket is my favorite and perfect for Halloween 🧡🎃 Wonderful haul Joanne! 😊💕💕💕
That was a lucky find and a great price. Hope you are doing great. Hugs.
I liked the witch. Have a great week ❤️🖐
She is cute, isn't she. Hugs.
My favorites are the amber lantern and the pumpkin pail. I like things dated sixties or older.😊
I feel so lucky to have found that pail. Hugs.
I’m with you, Joanne, I absolutely love the lantern. It will look beautiful cleaned up with a candle in it.❤
The lantern is cleaned up with a candle in it ready to go to the booth to find a new home! Hugs.
I like the woven table runner.
That is a well-made table runner. I do think someone is going to want that on their fall table. Hugs.
Yes my favourite is your favourite lol. Also love all the tupperware. ❤❤❤
I still pick up TW if it is complete and in good condition. Hugs.
JOANNE..LOVE THE LANTERN TOO…AND YOURE A THOUGHTFUL MOTHER THINKING OF YOUR DAUGHTER ALWAYS WHEN
SHOP..
Great mind thrift alike LOL! With Kaitlin just starting out in her first home, she needs all the help she can get. I am fortunate that I am able to help her. Hugs.
I really like the babydoll heads! I think they make for awesome decorations!
I agree! Hugs.
Nice haul, Joanne. My favorite is the Willow figure and the witch. Thanks for sharing. Have a Blessed day. BTW, on the vintage bag, suede can be revived by holding it over a kettle of steaming water then lightly brushing. I had suede shoes when I was a teen and the store clerk gave me that tip.
You're the best, Margaret. Thanks for sharing that tip. Wishing you a wonderful week. Hugs.
LOVE the vintage pumpkin pail!!!!!
I was very lucky to have found that and at such a great price. Hugs.
There is usually a year on the bottom of those pumpkin buckets too. Crazy to think the ones made in 2000 are now considered vintage!
The vintage one with the metal studs had a year, the others did not. Hugs.
I love the amber lantern.
Me too. Hugs.
My favorite is the table runner! Great colors!
It seems to be very good quality too. Hugs.

Joanne, try using white vinegar on the green spots on the frame of the leather purse. Use a q-tip. Should clean it off.
Thanks for the tip! I'll give it a try. Sounds much easier than rubbing with a wire brush. Hugs.
Cats nibble when they love you! My cat will do it when he thinks he is notvgetting enough attention.probably a Louis thing as well. ❤ I don't do H but I love the storage items you scored for your daughter.
Louis must love the heck out of me then. I think they do call those 'love bites' right? It isn't hard at all. He never breaks the skin or leaves a mark of any kind. Louis is like having a toddler around the house 24/7. Hugs.
Your favorite is mine also! The amber lantern is beautiful! Like the witch and the Rae Dunn pieces too. Thank you for sharing. Have a blessed week. 🤗
Thank you for sharing your favorites and for watching. Hugs.
My favorite is also the amber candle holder.
Great minds thrift alike! Hugs.

I'll bet it is beautiful. Hugs.
Hi Louis 😊Favorite is the candle Lantern.

So glad you enjoyed the auction. It was long, but fun. Hugs.
The amber lantern is my favorite.
It cleaned up beautifully. Hugs.
Love the witch!
Isn't she a cutie. Hugs.
I love the witch! It looks like it matches an Owl I found last week in Cary. My grandsons love Owls, so I took it to them.

@@batthriftcrazy1959 I agree. 6 would allow people working until 5 to pop in too! I'm aiming for Saturday!

My favorite is the Amber lantern. Very unique. The little air plant holders are so cute. Love the haul. Have you finished decorating your daughters rooms. Hope we get to see it. Lewis wants attention from mama. Lol

Tupperware ham keeper. Of course any meat could go in it.
A ham keeper. Thanks! Hugs.
Your purse clasp is probably brass, the green is polish residue. Just use a wet brush to get it off. You could use brass cleaner and a toothbrush to clean it completely. Just make sure you protect the material part.
Ok, thanks. Hugs.
The green can be polished on the bag😊
I have received many tips on how to clean it up. Hugs.
Hi nice meat saver keep on shopping kiss the cat love Patricia curry Danville VA ❤
Turns out the TW is for ham. Learn something new everyday. Hugs.
I see Louis is eating out of the purple bowl on your conter 😅😂
I know it is hard to tell from your vantage point, but that is actually their water fountain. He was getting a drink. Hugs.
That is a ham container
Thanks for the info. Hugs.
The creepy heads in the bag
Great Halloween choice. Hugs.
