I discovered your youtube channel when I was recovering from minor surgery. You are so elegant, yet very practical. I found my first Waterford small vase the other day at goodwill, thank you for showing us how to check the markings to identify the item. I don't entertain very much, but you make me want to invite others over for a tea luncheon. Love all your ideas on tablescapping. I live in ohio and have been thrifting all my life, my father taught me to look for bargains since we had a large family. Everything you do is worth watching.
Rose, such a pleasure to hear from you! Happy to hear of your Waterford find. It's such a thrill to find a bargain that brings joy. Even better to invite friends and connect over a cup of tea. I appreciate you taking the time to message me.
Thanks. It was an interesting exchange of thoughts and comments that came of this. The German connection (with me) evoked lots of painful memories for the lady. Will share in the coming days on the community page. I don't want to get too personal about it. Need to think about how to highlight this unique experience.
I loved that tour, thanks for taking us with you, you are a wonderful teacher, I am always learning something new when I watch your videos. Thanks for sharing stay safe and have a blessed day my friend.
Hello Lady Mary Beth Thanks for taking us along.I am thinking about you sitting under your spectacular Chandelier.Enjoying with your family and friends.God Bless❤❤❤❤
It is still sitting on the floor of my dining room. The installer has not found time in his schedule. He wanted to drop by last night, but I was at the airport picking up my daughter from Germany.
There are so many wonderful places to browse and shop where you live. There is a dearth of good places where I live.😏 so it’s alot of fun to go shopping with you.☺️
“You don’t have to keep your collection forever” what sage advice. Tastes change- inspiration can present itself in an instant- and quite frankly, it is fun to mix things up. Thank you, LMB, another wonderful video. ….and that Danish tea set - be still my heart 💜
Thank you for sharing you Holiday styled home. You have certainly done wonders with your treasured finds. I appreciate your more formal take on decorating, over the more casual style shown lately.
I really enjoy it when you take us along to these shops that have such beautiful quality items. My local resale stores rarely have such nice things although I did score some Limoges plates recently. You have taught me to keep my eyes peeled for the good stuff.
Great furniture ! Wonderful crystal.....we would want the Wedgwood pitcher too....love the silverplate pedestal piece thank you for this tour Mary Beth...🌴👫🌷📷🎬
This was nice to see, Lady Mary Beth. I love your new pitcher. 15:39 It reminds me of the Wedgwood Strawberry & Vine pattern, and I hope you will enjoy having it in your home. Thanks for taking us along to this charity shop!
I'll have to just echo so many other commenters, what a wonderful place! I think if I lived within 200 miles of that store I'd be visiting regularly! And your narratives are so informative, thank you!
love your shows ,,wow you got alot of beautiful things ,,i really enjoy when we get to go with you shopping how you let us see alot of very nice stuff ,,than you show us what you got any tell us about them ,,thanks for takeing the time out of your life to share with us ,,,cant wait to see where we all get to go next ,,,
Thank you for inviting us along with you! The Charity Guild Shop is a long time favorite of mine, and it's been a long time since I've visited. Thank you for posting the pandemic hours. Your advice is always spot on, and your knowledge really enhances the shopping experience. My maternal grandfather came to the U.S. as a child of 9 years old in 1892. I spent so much time with my grandparents and his family growing up, so I have a love of all things Danish and Scandinavian. It was nice to see items, especially the glass piece, from the area. Again, many thanks!
What a wonderful heritage! Hope you are able to visit Denmark. The tea set was exquisite and I am quite sure not available in the U.S. Someone most likely brought this back from their travels.
@@LadyMaryBeth P.S. In my most likely way too long initial comment, I just also wanted to say how kind you are to relinquish your "dibs" to the lady from The Netherlands. I feel really sure she appreciated your thoughtfulness. Yes, a visit to Denmark is on my "must do" list. 🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻
Ευχαριστώ για το ταξίδι της ομορφιάς! Λένε ότι η ομορφιά θα σώσει τον κόσμο,και να που σληθεβει.Μας μαθενετε πολλα χρισιμα πραγματα και εχοντας τοσα όμορφα πράγματα - κρύσταλλο, κεραμικά, κηροπήγια,δεν τα χερομουνα.... ποτέ δεν έδωσα σημασία σε αυτή την ομορφιά μέχρι που σας γνώρισα Τώρα, μπορώ να επιτρέψω στον εαυτό μου να συλλογιστεί αυτήν την ομορφιά και να τη χρησιμοποιήσει κάθε μέρα. Στρώνω ένα όμορφο τραπέζι και ταίζω τα παιδιά μου με υπέροχα φαγητά,σε γαλλικά,γερμανικα, και ελληνικά σερβιτσια. Και τώρα δεν μαζεύουν σκόνη στην αποφυκη. Εχουν μια ορεοτατη θεση στην βιτρινα μου και τραβανε τα θαυμαστικά βλέμματα των καλεσμένων μας! Σας ευχαριστώ! Εχω βρει υπεροχα κρυσταλλα στην Γερμανια,Τσεχια και πρωην Σ.Ε.
Thank you for your fun shopping videos! I enjoy them very much. Here is an idea for you, I use a vintage Waterford decanter that I fill with mouth wash in our master bath. The beautiful decanter add a lovely sparkle to the bath.
So many pretties in your video...I'm trying to figure out when you were shopping as you point out the full price on items, but some items have the first discount is before June...
Hello lady Mary Beth....from new subscriber from Birmingham England!!!....just watched a video of your Royal Collection....and it was excellent...particularly the silver pin/brooch....made in Birmingham.....Where the Jewellery Quarter is world famous and makes ,still a huge range of silver(and gold articles....40% of all silver in the UK is produced here....so pleased you have a very fine piece from here👍🇬🇧!!!.....I was born in a place called Stourbridge in the county of Worcestershire.....famous for the China company ...and also great crystal glassware like Royal Brierley,Stuart and Webb Corbett glassworks which I loved so much and often visited their glass works and saw the amazing glass blowers and cutter/engravers!!!....thank you for your excellent videos and top quality pieces that you discuss (Sue Uk)
Sue, it’s a pleasure to hear from you! ☺️ Love to hear about the Birmingham silversmiths and the crystal brands. I have Royal Brierly candleholders that I acquired in New Orleans. Lovely! By the way, we have a Birmingham in Alabama that is a steel town. It’s also home to Tea Time and Southern Lady magazines, my favorites. ❤️
@@LadyMaryBeth much appreciated that you replied!....I have , of course ,known about Birmingham Alabama USA....but didn’t realise it was a steel making centre ....thank you ...I will find out more info!!...you can be sure that I will continue following your channel....the fine quality and knowledge is rare on utube.... sincere good wishes 🇬🇧 to🇺🇸!!
So glad to hear from you! ☺️ Got your last message about the kitchen canisters and then couldn’t find it again. It’s a pleasure to get your messages from Kenya. Greetings from Texas! 😘
I am shocked at the price of the Kjobenhavn - sometimes called lace and some times called butterfly lace - one tea pot on the secondhand market is usually around 2000.00 dollars. I wept when I saw the price for 20 pieces - it is the one pattern I have wanted my entire life and have never been able to get. I usually focus my efforts on art, but that porcelain is exquisit.
Would love to see a video of your various dish patterns...I'm trying to fathom a collection of 28+ 😊, suggestions on how you store them (if you do something special), where you store your collection, frequeny of use. If adding or given the opportunity of specific pieces, which besides dinner and salad plates are a must or wish list pieces? Largest/smallest collection (number of settings), largest number you have entertained using one or mixture of your collections. Are you a "resource" in your family/community for parties/occasions to fill in borrowed serving pieces and if so have you ever worried about breakage or damage? Is the collection utilized for more intimate gatherings with like minded enthusiasts that appreciate your beautiful items and the vast collection more to have varied and splendid settings/venues/themes or just a collection/addition of great pieces at great prices which results in more to work with for different table setting combinations? You have made references several times picking up a treasure for a table you are working on for the channel. Is it just for the channel or then used for impromptu dinner with friends/family? (The final product you film) Sorry for the questions...just found you and such a breathe of fresh air as opposed to the paper product one-use society we have become. Hopefully your channel inspires younger generations to see the true value of a beautifully laid table and revive the use of dishes and silverware. Thank you for your very inspirational content!!!
Pleased to read your message. Thanks for reaching out and following my channel. That is the goal to inspire younger generations to appreciate items they will inherit. Since they are all about recycling, then what is not to love? Would like to showcase my storage at some point. Will give a home and dish tour when we are in Germany this Summer. Had to laugh when you asked if I am a resource for family and friends. That would be an emphatic YES! Seems that I am always setting up their parties and loaning out my collections. Always happy to help beautify their events. Some items I acquire to complete a table to showcase or an upcoming party. I often host a yearly sale in Houston to offer some of these treasures.
Good Morning Lady Mary Beth, My name is Jennifer and I have learn a great deal from listening to your channel. Will you explain if you can about toxic lead being in some of the chinaware dishes and pottery Please.
Thanks for getting in touch. Seems to be a concern if the glaze is cracked or pitted. Here is a link that might be helpful. www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/is-it-safe-to-eat-off-vintage-plates-66089830/
I look forward to your postings; this one was very enjoyable; so many lovely things. Yesterday I thought of you while checking out the Oxford Antique Market in Oxford, Pa. Because I found a beautiful clear crystal basket, medium size & unusual shape, you came to mind. I decided to buy it since it was such a great price: $6.00. There is a mark on the bottom that looks like the letter S. Where do I search to discover what that stands for? Thanks for much for inspiring me.
What a great find for $6.00! Would love to have shopped with you at the antique mall. The “S” mark (with or without a circle) is most likely from LE Smith Glass Co.
It’s interesting hearing that you don’t have upscale charity thrift stores in Australia. Would be a good opportunity for a non-profit to open a shop. Many items are consigned and not only donated. Proceeds go back to the community.
@@LadyMaryBeth We have charity shops but all smalls and the items are not that good compare to American thrift shops. We have antique shops but prices are too expensive, because competitions are not that so great.
Just purchased a large box of very old porcelain and bisque figurines, at an estate sale. They are really dirty, how do I clean them? Several are hand painted. Love your videos.
That is awesome! I suggest you use Dawn dish soap and soak if possible. Then, use a soft cloth or sponge to clean. Be mindful of the detail if delicate.
I am a beginner thrifter. What is the purpose of the list of dates with the prices next to them at the bottom of the sale tag? I thought the price at the top is what you pay. Is Waterford Crystal always marked if the tag doesn't say what it is? If not marked, how does someone with an untrained eye tell the difference between Waterford and another maker?
I know you will enjoy finding bargains! Many charity thrift stores lower the price after each month it sits on the shelf. Refer to today’s date to see if it is automatically reduced. Waterford finds are often marked simply as crystal when they don’t recognize the brand. Look for the acid etch mark and telltale signs. I share some tips in the Waterford segment: ruclips.net/video/Oxuujmxr6BA/видео.html
Which part of Texas? I could recommend stores in other cities. I grew up thrifting and antique shopping with my parents. There was always a charity resale or church rummage sale. I volunteer in the community and it's my mission to share these stores that benefit great causes. Definitely a win-win!

Thank you, LMB, another wonderful video. ….and that Danish tea set - be still my heart 💜
Thanks for reaching out. Glad you agree that we can redefine ourselves with changing taste and style. ☺️
Thanks for showing it all I love to see the crystal the pottery the dish where the furniture all of it I like it all thank you for showing it all.
Thank you for sharing you Holiday styled home. You have certainly done wonders with your treasured finds. I appreciate your more formal take on decorating, over the more casual style shown lately.
I appreciate you!
Oh that settee, it makes my inner granny so happy. So beautiful in a bedroom.
Yes, would be great for a bedroom. ❤️
Love that you look at two of my favorite things - crystal and porcelain. I really liked some of the antique furniture.
Can’t get enough of the china, crystal, and silver. ☺️
The dessert set from Prussia was my favorite. What a find. !!!! So beautiful!!!
It was on the bottom of a shelf and we almost missed it. My friend is most pleased to add this to her collection.
I love following you. I'm addicted to fine China and linens. This is the best thing to being there.
Absolutely loved this shopping trip. So many beautiful things. Great learning about the different pieces. Well done.
I appreciate your kind comment!
I really enjoy it when you take us along to these shops that have such beautiful quality items. My local resale stores rarely have such nice things although I did score some Limoges plates recently. You have taught me to keep my eyes peeled for the good stuff.
Great furniture ! Wonderful crystal.....we would want the Wedgwood pitcher too....love the silverplate pedestal piece thank you for this tour Mary Beth...🌴👫🌷📷🎬
You would enjoy Houston thrifting. I can see you bringing a loaded truck back to Florida. 😉
This was nice to see, Lady Mary Beth. I love your new pitcher. 15:39 It reminds me of the Wedgwood Strawberry & Vine pattern, and I hope you will enjoy having it in your home. Thanks for taking us along to this charity shop!

Love the Prussian set and the salt cellars! As always you are so knowledgeable! I always enjoy you outings! Thank you.
I appreciate you so much! 😘
Thanks for sharing. I enjoy watching and seeing what is in the stores and what you buy. Love from Ohio
Thanks for watching! So in awe of all the vintage glass made in Ohio.
Oooohhh the pitcher is awesome🍶
Could not pass it up. So glad to get the Wedgwood pitcher for $18, 😉
💜💜Everything in that store was GORGEOUS💜💜
I always come home thinking I should have bought more. 😉
I absolutely enjoyed looking around with you and you explaining us everything you'd touched in that store. Thank you!
One of my favorite charity resale shops. Thanks for coming along. ☺️
What an amazing restore!
At least 3 lamps to take home there Lol 🌴📷💙🎬😎
Wishing I would have bought the Bleikristall lamps and maybe the Cobalt. Filming is such a distraction from shopping. 🛍 😂

Glad you enjoyed it! I could not help myself and had to see all the tabletop china, crystal, and silver.
I enjoy going shopping with you. Many beautiful items in the Catholic thrift shop. Keep on shopping
Thanks so much! It's a good thing I was busy filming. Otherwise, I would have bought more. Seeing items now that I really want.
Thank you for your fun shopping videos! I enjoy them very much. Here is an idea for you, I use a vintage Waterford decanter that I fill with mouth wash in our master bath. The beautiful decanter add a lovely sparkle to the bath.
Thanks for sharing!! Love to hear about alternate uses for Waterford and other table essentials. Adding sparkle is always a great idea.

So that's supposed to be the complete set of the plated silver ? If that's the whole set I'm missing 4 pieces
Some sets were originally offered with different options. Don't feel like your set is incomplete.
@@LadyMaryBeth i do love the design and the clawed feet especially. Maybe I'll get lucky and end up finding some sterling or other goodies
I love everything you shared!! How long does the sale go on? Where is it located?
See the video description for a link to Charity Guild Shop. They are located in Houston, Texas. Limited hours right now Thursday-Saturday I think.
Could you list the silver clearer again, please
