Last Thanksgiving my dad accidentally chipped the edge of my otherwise perfect serving dish. He was nervous to tell me about it but when he finally did he said "maybe one day when I'm gone you'll look at that chip and think of me". We both burst into tears and now that dish is my favorite thing in my kitchen.
I scored some adorable vintage angel figurines in a free box because their wings were missing. I'll just put some cute craft store wings on them and enjoy
Love this video! My mom and I collect vintage barbies and our favorite kinds are the ones from thrift stores that are in terrible condition because we love cleaning them up and fixing their hair, finding them new clothes, etc. It also saves us so much money and we've found some really valuable dolls this way.
I am allll for imperfect vintage! Lots of times it’s an easy fix, and other times I like the imperfections because they add character and imply a story. I’m glad you mentioned your vintage sheet collection is full of imperfections. I wondered how you’d found so many pristine vintage sheets!
Oh yay I almost cut that part out because I thought it was boring so I’m glad you got something out of it. Pristine sheets are way too expensive for me 😂😂😂 So glad you appreciate imperfect items 💕
I buy vintagd items that have pulled at my heart strings and can be used for another purpose, like a teapot missing the lid will become a plant holder or decor piece. I also pick up a lot of items from estate sells.
I love this video. I do sometimes buy items that are a bit damaged just because of the great looks of it. I also love to buy items that just speak to me and that I find out later that they are extra special and really worthy. Not that it makes a difference because I like it anyway. I also love living in the deep south of the Netherlands near to the German and Belgium border so I can visit fleamarkets in three countries. Just this morning I found a lovely set of Angels wall hanging in Germany for such a low price. And I bought a vintage easter bunny...so happy to find things I didn't even know I was looking for😉. I love the surprise of all those lovely items. Enjoy all your finds🎉🤩😘
I agree! Waste not, want not after all! I like getting stuff from the thrift store, especially vintage, since older stuff feel a LOT more sturdy than items I buy new today. Even if something's broken it still can be used, either repaired or as is! Like a chipped mug or one missing a handle works just as well for holding pens or something for example. (Had to convince a friend to not toss a brand new mug after she dropped and broke the handle off-she was just gonna toss the whole thing. Until something is literally inusuable it's better to try and find a new use!)
Emily you have made me think about Imperfect items!!!! I love Primitives and a lot of them are not perfect. And I love vintage Christmas 🤶 so the next times I go shopping I have a different perspective on chip and cracked items. Thank you so much.!!!!!
We had those cardboard bins with dividers growing up but they were plain brown :( I think we mostly used them horizontally. we used them for all kinds of things- shoes, art supplies, who knows what else. My mom might still have some in her basement. Wish we had the pretty design one you have. I love your perspective on buying imperfect things. I'm going to keep that in mind next time I'm shopping!
Great video and your dress is very pretty. No one would know about any flaws in your dress, collectibles, etc. unless you said something! You have a lovely style.
You could lay that box on its side and store just about anything in it, and then those loose shelves would just dividers so you don't have to worry about the strength of them. :)
I will always choose imperfect pieces that are cheap over pristine and expensive. Another reason I like to buy imperfect/cheap pieces are that when the time comes that they are not working with my decor anymore I don't get worked up over getting the money back. I just donate them and know someone else is gonna be happy finding a neat vintage item.
I agree, used items or damaged were well used and loved and make me feel happy when I continue to use them. Also, totally agree about buying non complete sets or with missing parts. You might find the missing piece next week or next year and get to reunite them. Plus, so much cheaper. ❤
I love the blue kitty teapot! I have the same one, also missing her lid, and she's been previously cracked and glued back together, but makes a cute vase for some silk flowers! And I think I paid 2 bucks for it!
i loooovvvvve this video. I have the same thougt about damaged items. I bought a set of pyrex nesting bowls with a few chips so I can just use them and don't worry about damaging them
I love piecing together my sets! I have most of the pink fridgies and am waiting on my last aqua/robins egg fridgie and 404 to complete those sets, all pieced together from various places. my biggest advice is to check most recent postings because you’ll find things that were just listed and it gives you the chance to snatch it up ☺️
I really enjoyed the fact that you repaired the lovely dress you were wearing.I to have repaired a couple of garments that I wear.They seem that much more comforting with the wear and repair. My grandmother so long ago taught me to make the repairs and I think of her especially while I sew.Thanks for your insight
Hi Emily! Aralee here. I too buy things with chips or paint loss, especially if they are for my own collection. I am also willing to buy pieces of sets, one item at a time, in an attempt to get the entire set for a much more reasonable price. I love how you're able to display all of your fun vintage sheets! 😊😊😊😊
If I’m in love with something I don’t really care the condition, I will buy it regardless. I thrifted a beautiful cut glass bowl that has chips in it but I’m obsessed with it! It sits proudly in my dining room!
Karla here. Thank you for a different viewpoint on less than perfect items. You gave me something to really think about. Also totally off topic but you look so pretty and spring like today!!
New subscriber! I just found you and I am enjoying the videos. You have really opened my eyes to looking at “ less perfect” things in a new way, thank you.
It depends on the item. Blow molds I'm ok with having damaged ones because they're so damn hard to find lol. I got some free ones off Facebook, including a large MCM looking star burst. The guy was going to toss them if someone didn't take them so I rescued them. The star burst needs to be restrung with lights and it's pretty flimsy...but other then that it's fine. But stuff like glassware/Pyrex...I'm much more picky. I really REALLY hate dishwasher damage. It just gets under my skin for some reason. I also don't like chips or cracks in things. I'm after the Merry Mushroom set as well (so is everyone else in America it seems like) and TBH...I don't think I would have bought the big one with a crack like that in it. Even for as cheap as it was. I'm also VERY picky about books and magazines. They have to be in pretty good shape...and no smells...the smell thing is hard because most of these books/magazines were stored in damp basements and such. I'm extremely sensitive to smells so I can pick up on things easily that others might not catch. I've had so many musty/moldy smelling books and magazines I've had to return...ugh. I still have some that I've sealed up in bags away from any other books...those ones I want to try to save but dealing with paper is hard.
Hi Emily, I completely agree with your philosophy of buying imperfect vintage item! I've always said that perfection is boring :) Thanks for this fun video.
I feel the same as you about imperfect items! I always say they were well loved!! I piece sets of pyrex when I can find them at the thrift store or estate sales! Thank you for this video!!❤❤❤
This video is wonderful! I could not tell at all that your Pyrex has dishwasher damage so you are 100% right. These are great tips on how to get vintage items on a great price ❤🎉
I think dishwasher damage is just a catch all phrase in Pyrex. When I see Pyrex from the 50's with the color rubbed off I do not think "dishwasher". People didn't even have dishwashers back then. My Grandmother's red Pyrex bowl had almost no color left in it and she never had a dishwasher in her life. She scrubbed that bowl a couple times a day for decades.
I’ve only ever bought Pyrex at garage sales. Definitely with dishwasher fading. But when it’s displayed, you don’t notice. I was lucky to be able to buy a complete set of merry mushroom canisters at an online auction for cheap because one of the lids is missing. I just display it with some utensils in it. It looks great!
I really should wait till videos are over to comment because I always hear other things I want to comment on Lol. I call my Mom the stain master because I can’t tell you the vintage linens and clothing I have gotten that had horrible stains and she miraculously gets the stains out! Also I got a few Halloween blow molds with some damage for so cheap and I also got the one with the ghost that is holding the pumpkin (the smaller older one) I got it for dirt cheap because it looked sooo stained up, well I got it used some Totally Awesome spray cleaner from Dollar Tree and it now looks BRAND NEW!
AHHHH I’m so excited for you that you cleaned that blow mold up and got it for cheap 👏👏👏 and I appreciate the double comment when you have multiple things to say 😂
Good suggestions however shipping to Canada is expensive so even a five dollar salt shaker would be $15 to $20 shipping so it is better to find one seller who will combine shipping. Some types of shipping through a broker wont let them combine purchases. So there are few bargains on line for us. Facebook market place is good but being in a small city, there is not that much cool vintage out there. And our thrift stores mark pyrex high, whether damaged or not or without a lid. If damaged, it is a bit cheaper but not cheap, if you know what I mean. So it is a long, hard search to find deals like yours. Church sales and estate sales are sometimes good although they are starting to look on line when pricing vintage stuff. Also, being in a small city, every dealer in town will be first in line at these sales. Sometimes it feels so frustrating and then a treasure falls into your lap. So you do a happy dance and forge ahead. You have amazing things and your displays are so wonderful. I am ok with flaws if for display. And as you said, no worries about mishaps. Thanks for your honest and cheery videos.
I’ve really only bought the Miss Priss Kitty on eBay otherwise I find everything in person. The merry mushroom canister was picked up an hour away from my town, I lined up that pickup with me going out of a town to that big city. Like I said in the video estate sales are difficult to buy at here but I got lucky with the damaged pumpkin. I work hard to find the great items I pick up and as someone who lives in Michigan, I’ve thrifted in Canada and had good luck over there. I always look whenever I travel or go to a different city so I encourage you to look outside your small town too!
I buy anything if it is cheap enough! Chipped, scuffed, ripped or torn if it is cheap and vintage then it is for me ☺️ Oh I had to add this, you really did have me rethink dishwasher damaged Pyrex. I am coming to the other side lol
Hi Emily here in Australia our Op shops (thrift stores) have a section for dog blankets! I have found many vintage crochet blankets here for $1 or $2 that maybe have a small hole that can be repaired or just need a good soak and dry in the sun ! Love your videos so much :)
Oh hi, Karina all the way in Australia! 🥹 Ooooooh that sounds like a swell deal, good for you looking around at different areas like the dog section! P.S. someday I hope to thrift in Australia for vintage sheets in fabric because whenever I see an amazing vintage sheet online it’s always in Australia 😭😂
@@emilyretro you should come here for sure! I have found some amazing vintage things including alot of sheets x Ps i love your channel so much i look forward to it each week:)

I hope you can find a Miss Priss Kitty!! It’s one of the few items I’ve bought online because I had no luck finding them in person at all. But I hope you stumble upon one ☺️💕
I would totally buy the Miss Priss is if was damaged! I’ve been really lucky finding Pyrex without damage but if it was a good pattern I wanted I wouldn’t care at all (:

Yard sales are a good source for inexpensive treasures. Patience and diligence will be rewarded.
I love so many things I see on thrifting videos that are chipped or cracked, I’d snap them up but resellers are always looking for perfect pieces.

My mom and I collect vintage barbies and our favorite kinds are the ones from thrift stores that are in terrible condition because we love cleaning them up and fixing their hair, finding them new clothes, etc. It also saves us so much money and we've found some really valuable dolls this way.
Omgggg I didn’t know you could fix vintage doll hair 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I see Barbie’s all the time and their hair is WILD I’m so glad you rescue them!

I'm the same as you with my vintage items. My weakness is 1940's and 50's tablecloths, and I use them all the time. Love your channel!
Omg do you actually use them on your table as they are intended? That’s wonderful!!! 🥹💕
@@emilyretro I do! They make me smile🥰
The Meijer and Kroger bags protecting the Merry Mushroom canister was it for me. Born and raised in Midland 😊
Ha ha. I'm so old I bought that witch blow mold brand new. Still have it too. Ha ha.

So enjoyed this! I totally agree with you! Thank you for sharing how you collect vintage, you are awesome❤
That divided box is for shoes. My grandmother had one. It goes long side down.
I don't mind a bit of use, my vintage items are for everyday use, so if it is imperfect already I don't need to fear what I might do.
Halloween and blow molds .... ❤

Great video and your dress is very pretty. No one would know about any flaws in your dress, collectibles, etc. unless you said something! You have a lovely style.
Do you like to buy perfect or imperfect vintage items? 🌻
I buy broken stuff all the time today I buy me a tall capodemonte piece with a chips on the back love it great price if I love it I buy it still
I have mismatched Pyrex dishes that I use every day. They are not perfect, but they are beautiful and are lovingly used.
That’s fantastic 🥹💕
Very nice additions to your collections! Another interesting video. I decorate with a lot of witches for Halloween. I like your witch!
You could lay that box on its side and store just about anything in it, and then those loose shelves would just dividers so you don't have to worry about the strength of them. :)
