I’m a Tacoma girl too and I concur! This was so fun to watch. A few of us gals are going to antique row now and making a day of it in the New Year. Inspired by you!❤
@@gingeralebritt4662 that’s so sweet!! Have a wonderful time and find lots of treasures!! Maybe hit the McMenamins Elks for cocktails after!!💜Happy New Year!!!🎆
@ I have seen it!! I was just going through it two days ago in fact!! I’ve never purchased off of the website though, the auctions can run pretty high so it’s really only for collectors not so much for resellers. It’s definitely fun to look through though!! 😁💜
@@brigittelefever What you want to do is choose the "Olympic and Rainier region" in the filters because that's the Tacoma location that only charges 1 cent shipping. Then filter price low to high in the section of your choice. It's surprising what you can get in one bid or in a big lot of stuff in "buy it now"
The clock store would be the one store I would want to see, besides the first vintage clothing store. The hotel you stayed at wasmy favorite part of the video. What a special place. I love live music.
Thank you for watching!! Yes the McMenamins really know how to make their hotels into amazing experiences!! Perhaps the next time we go I’ll be brave enough to get to the back of the clock store, it’s frustrating to think there might have been the perfect treasure just feet away and I didn’t get to it!! I’m working hard on facing my fears!!
Hello.. I'm a new subscriber. I enjoyed your video, you have a calm voice and I really liked the way you touched on many different things. I'm from bellingham just north. To me coastal is the way!! Love cruzin shops for older lovely things, like me...
@@heynursie5918 well hello back!! Thank you for subscribing and your kind comment!! I love the coast!! If I could I’d live in Astoria!! Maybe someday. Glad to hear from a fellow vintage lover!! 😁💜
Hi Brigette, Your channel popped up on my YT feed this morning, 11/14. I grew up in Seattle, but now live in the Tacoma area. I have been going to all of the places that you featured in your video today for many years. I've been thrifting for about 35 years. There is one antique store on Antique Row that you didn't show. Talk about claustrophobic. I don't know how the owners even put new inventory in the store. You hit the 38th GW on a good day. I have never seen it that organized before. The McMenamin's Elks is a wonderful fairy tale location, but I love all of their locations. These guys are my hero's for saving historic buildings. Happy shopping!
I love the McMenamins brothers!! I actually worked for them from 1994 - 1998!! Those guys are so amazing and I’ve been to every location!! My favorite is Edgefield in Troutdale but second favorite is the Elks!! I did pass by that claustrophobic store but didn’t go in so I didn’t feature it in the video, it said “Men’s Vintage Accessories” on the window if that’s the one you’re referring to. My husband wanted to go in but one glance and I was out!! 😂. Thanks so much for sharing!!!💜
@@brigittelefever That is very cool working for the McMen Brothers. I've been told by various staff that they are good people to work for. My ex and I discovered Edgefield in the middle 90"s. That's my fav too. I also like The Kennedy School in Portland. I've stayed there and then went on the Irvington Historic Home Tour. I do love the Elks. It's wonderful to see the building come back to life. That overstuffed store has art, furniture and a ton of crap in it. I should drive up there, I'm in Lakewood, to see what the window says. Thanks for your reply!
Funny, I live in Tacoma & knew the Elks club had been renovated because I drive by it on the street behind. I had no idea it was a hotel now. Now I’m going to have to visit it. 😊
Oh you must check it out!! There’s even a hidden bar that is open on the weekends after 4pm you should try to find!! Definitely walk up to the top floor and see the arboretum and chandeliers too!! 💜🤩
I saw you on Andi's All Put Together latest garage sale video. You should consider showing sold comps rather than listed prices. That is what other youtubers I watch recommend.
Thank you so much!! I checked out your channel and it’s really good!! I had no idea vintage makeup could be so profitable!! I subscribed and am starting from the beginning and will watch up to current. You have such a sweet and soothing voice!! Great information as well!! 💜
Right!! Haha!! I’m determined to try it again next time but someone pointed out they might be so over stocked because their prices might be sky high. I will at least determine that and let everyone know!! 😊💜
About "La Galerie" When I enter an overstuffed store I get really exited, I can spend hours looking at everything, BUT if there are no price tags it always gives me the feeling that if there such a big inventory it could be that they're not selling because it's also overpriced. But then again you can also bargain if you charm the seller by getting severals items. Salut du Québec ⚜ first time on your channel.
Hello!! Thank you for watching!! Good point about the prices. Next time I go I’ll make sure to ask and see how the prices are!! I’m planning on trying that store again to face my fears in the future!!!
Love watching your videos-I live on the Oregon Coast. So I swear I am not a stalker, but this was a Groundhog Day video for me. My husband and I stayed at McMenamins Tacoma in the beginning of September. We were in the room next to you-at the corner of the building. Such amazing views! We went to all the same antique shops. Fun to look at everything, but definitely priced for collectors. If you would have continued toward the main busy street past Mecca Mercantile there was a shop called Urban Squirrel. Great vintage priced for me-a reseller! I bought a couple bags worth of treasure. Didn’t go thrifting but I may have to if we get up there again. As a side note, I also learned to drive in a VW Vanagon! We must be around the same age 😊
@@Summertimevintage Omg!! That’s so crazy!! We were actually there on Sept 12,13. We actually stayed in that corner room the first time we were there!! We plan on going back again in the spring and will totally hit up that Urban Squirrel next time, thanks for the heads up!! I absolutely love our Oregon coast! Do you sell in a store or online? I would love to see your shop!! Thank you so much for commenting, we are definitely kindred spirits!!💜💜💜
@ I only sell online right now-eBay and Posh. Getting ready to launch Etsy. I’m on the “list” at 3 different malls for a booth. The list are long here since it’s touristy!
@@mkaysartfuljourney1239 Oh yes, it's good. It's almost as big as the goodwill. If you donate anything in the back, they will give you a coupon too that you can shop with.
❤ You have a great point of view and a really nice voice to listen to. The visuals are causing me eyestrain because I want to see the items, but the camera is moving too quickly and kind of dancing and swimming around and not focusing (for me anyway)😢
@@BernadetteWohl I understand. Thanks for the input. The actual sound in the background is too disruptive with people talking and music that would cause a copyright strike so I put copyright free music in. I work very hard on choosing the music but I know it’s not for everyone. Music is a very personal thing and my videos are my personal way of expressing my art form of video editing. I appreciate your feedback.
Loved this. I'm a tacoma girl. You showcased Tacoma well.❤❤
Thank you!! I can’t wait to go back!! Such a beautiful city! 💜😁

Awe my home town! My daughter and I visit all these shops every summer! Thanks for sharing! New subscriber!!
Oh how nice!! Such a great area! I can’t wait to go back!! Thanks for subscribing! I appreciate it greatly!!!😁💜
Im in lakewood and was born in Tacoma and have never heard of any of these places, until you got to goodwill on 38th street. I used to work there.
Interesting. I bet you found some great deals and some fun treasures working there! Thanks for checking out my video!!💜
@brigittelefever Oh yes, I was the e-commerce picker for shopgoodwill online. Have you seen it? I miss that employee discount lol

How did I not know of this!?
We learn something new everyday!! 😉💜
I enjoyed this!
Thank you so much!! It makes all the work filming and editing worth it to hear comments like this!! 😁💜
Lovely trip!
Thank you!! I had so much, can’t wait to do it again!! 😁💜
What a fun roadtrip and great GW haul! I can empathize with you on the claustrophobia! Thank you for the video, all the best! Kris
Thanks Kris!! 💜

Yes!! So much fun!!💜
Cool stuff
@@lynndaniels6015 thank you so much!!!😊 💜
Fellow reseller channel here. This is such a well-done video. Great finds! I especially like the brass planter. Subscribing.

@brigittelefever thank you very much for the encouraging words and for watching my videos.
Your channel just showed up in my feed. I enjoyed what I saw.
You remind me of a shy version of Laura Caldwell.
Thank you so much!! That’s so kind of you to say!! 💜☺️
There’s a show next weekend in Chahalis WA. Called Intavintage.
@@mkaysartfuljourney1239 oh thank you!! I’ll see if I can attend!!! 😁💜
@@brigittelefever my neighbor will have a booth there. Not sure of her booth’s name.
I’m right there with you! My friend and I visited La Galerie and only made it 10 seconds before we turned around….comically too crowded! 😂
Right!! Haha!! I’m determined to try it again next time but someone pointed out they might be so over stocked because their prices might be sky high. I will at least determine that and let everyone know!! 😊💜

Value village is my thrifty store in Tacoma on 19th street. In n Tacoma

Hey..did you bring a black light?! Good to see if the glass things have unarium;)
I have two and repeatedly forget to bring them inside with me!! Yes!! Great to check for the “glowy glass”!!! 💚💚💚
Would have been nice to see some more 1960's furniture
I’ll try to get more shots of 1960’s furniture if I see it 😁
The embroidered pants you had on at McMinamins were soooooo cute!😊 Next time, go to dive bar Dirty Oscars and have the tater tots🤎
@@alikatzcreations oh thank you!! I made those and want to make more!! I’ll definitely check out that dive bar next time!! Thanks for the heads up!!💜😁
What is the address of the goodwill
@@lindapuregold 3121 S 38th St, Tacoma Washington. Sorry I didn’t put that in the video!! It’s such a great location!!

The music was ok for me but the fast panning made me dizzy.
