ABBY ABBY ABBY!!! if you want an indigenous fashion reference from last year, Quannah Chasinghorse, a native american model, had all of her jewelry and accessories loaned to her from her aunties at the MET Gala. She's an activist for indiginous rights and the facial tattoos she has are also legitimate. She's not talked about very much but I figured she would be important to acknowledge in the discourse.
I’m really just typing this to appease the algorithm overload and demonstrate engagement so Abby’s videos can reach more viewers. I love everything she’s showing us and wish her and her’s all blessings and peace.
I imagine that the Beard Brothers button had to do with the Centennial celebration of the town on the button. In the seventies, part of those celebrations included enforcing the defunct beard laws from the mid-nineteenth century. If you were a man who didn’t have a beard during the celebration period, you would be “arrested” and fined a minimal.amount that would go to a charity. I remember my father had a beard for a couple of months in the mid-seventies for that reason. I know, ancient history to you.
@@AbbyCox I was thinking, as I looked at it, that it would be the perfect little purse for medications, such as for when it's "That Time of the Month" -- one pocket for your B Vitamins, one for pain killers, etc. so you can keep them clean from purse lint, without all the bulk of several pill bottles. Just a thought.
@@CapriUni That’s exactly what I thought. I’m the person who always have most minor medical emergencies ready in my purse, so I thought this would be a perfect pill / bandage case
Brothers of the Brush are local historical groups, often celebrating centennial or other interval events. They wore beards and historical costumes so commemorate the history of the community. Cool find.
I live pretty close to Modesto and I go there often! Love the McHenry Mansion so much and I highly recommend it. I think it’s so cool that one of my favorite RUclipsrs has a button from Modesto! Also, fun fact, George Lucas was born in Modesto.
I had a button bracelet nearly identical to the one you just received back n the early ‘80s! I loved looking at those buttons and imagining where they came from…I was 7 and it was a hand-me-down, I thought they were salvaged buttons 🤣🤣. I bet you were an outstanding professor. Sending good vibes for your house closings, both the sale and purchase, and hope everything’s “like buttah” so you get some stress relief. You may appreciate my latest acquisition… a 125 year old Swedish “Slanty” spinning wheel. I’ve been learning to spin for a few months, and she kind of dropped in my lap, so to speak! She needs some loving cleaning and re-oiling, but that’s about it before she’s spinning like new, again. I’m so excited!!! (My son named her Brunnhilde, Hilde for short 🤣)
My mum actually used to have one of those tiny shell purses, hers had a itty-bitty gold chain as a strap. It was completely useless as it was far too small to do anything with but it was cute so she kept it for decades.
The first box reminded me a bit of the box Rachel Masky recently unboxed. Both you and her kept up a smiling face but ... Love the second box. Love the fact that you had the change to teach even more. You're a natural teacher I think.
Oh man, Rachel’s was a straight up rip off. 😂 She was very classy not to name her source. Because Abby’s first box was advertised as “eclectic”, it’s not quite on the same level. But I agree, the second was much more impressive.
Ngl when you mentioned Claudia, i legit cheered to myself. I always heard people say Mary-Anne or Stacie were the best but Claudia's creativity helped me explore all sorts of fashion and crafts.
I missed seeing you!! Loved opening the mystery boxes with you! You should make a copy of that green velvet and lace bodice. Just sayin... You'd look great in it. I'd love watching you figure out how to create all the missing pieces. You're a genius at that.
The little shell purse was by far the gem of the first box. Loved the button bracelet too! (Much sympathy for it not fitting, I have thick-ish wrists) The photo from the second box makes me wish someone somewhere would do a mystery box that was just old photos and vintage ephemera. Love your content!!
My understanding of Brothers of the Brush is they are basically a group of dudes that wanted to stop shaving. A lot of groups did it to celebrate anniversaries; judging by the dates, I’m guessing the pin was to celebrate Modesto, California first centennial.
Loving the chill catchup! I had second hand anxiety for you and the dogs omg I’m so glad everyone is okayyy. Also WOW that green blouse is amazing, potential recreation vid? :3
Sending you good thoughts. I'm in awe of anyone who picks up and moves from one house *before* having a house ready to move *into* -- to me, that's as brave as getting into a rocket heading to an alien planet, somewhere. Good luck on the moving in part of your journey. May you find comfort in setting down roots, and may all your new neighbors be awesome.🤟🏼
Absolutely- especially with pets in tow!! Yikes! 😱 That limbo time in between closing sake of old house & moving into a new one sounds very disconnected and stressful. Do hope the final home turns out awesome for Abby & all the rest of the gang...
The first box didn't seem to reach a $100 value. The second box seemed to far exceed a $100 value. If I'm wrong I apologize - or maybe the first box added the shipping cost?
Omg that green velvet piece is GORGEOUS!!! I recently ordered a mystery box from Witchy Vintage and OH! the treasures! My wallet certainly does NOT thank you for introducing me to them!
Oh I loved the second box! The green velvet had a very pretty colour (at least on camera). And you look so cute with that hat ^^ Good luck for all the moving things you're going through right now!
I’m glad to hear that you are getting closer to having your new place. Have you thought about giving us a video on how you sent up your sewing room. I’m always hoping for some tips or tricks that will help me. Looking forward to seeing you all settled in your new place
I've been doing an bit of a binge of your channel, I can't sew and the thought of patterns gives me anxiety but your joy and enthusiasm for your craft is infectious. Also side benefit is the accidental learning through osmosis, I'm recognising silhouettes when watching stuff and then working out the rough date/era... My husband loves this😐
It's nice to know cute things exist in Indiana! I recently moved here and have really been struggling to find anything cute or costume-y, although the pandemic is certainly not helping. Probably not many people in the area watching, but for what it's worth there is at least one person interested in hearing about local stuff!
Cute witchy vintage box!. I agree with you about more hats and veils! My mother was an elegant and careful dresser and I have a number of her vintage hats from the late 50s to early 60s. It's fun to pop them on for no particular reason.
I used to live in Modesto California as a kid. That button was for the towns centennial in 1970. All the men were encouraged to grow beards. First and only time I saw my father with a beard. Lol!
I am sorry about the puppy drama, that is not cool. As a cat mom with a feline who has a chronic health condition that needs meds and care, I have so much empathy for finding a vet while not being settled. All the hugs, glad to hear that meds took care of the situations for the puppers. These mystery boxes were pretty good. I worry about getting one with things I wouldn't be able to use, guess that is part of the game. Love the clothing pieces accessories hat/veil wow. Good luck with the move and new house, excited for you and your family.
Dear Abby. (hahaha hehe) I wanted to let you know that the selling/buying of houses and moving release the same chemicals in the brain as a death in the family. With your protracted move, your brain is, basically, dealing with a very long deathlike situation. There is no need to apologize or worry about how you are feeling. It's normal and OK. The Witchy Vintage box was breathtaking.
Having done it a few times I agree with that description. Also there is frequently a culture shock because nowhere is like anywhere else and while it maybe small language differences it can totally feel like the last straw. I am amazed she can still function enough to make videos.
Makes a lot of sense! You're saying goodbye to a place that's familiar, and often having to relinquish close association with friends & family too if shifting long-distance like Abby is 😔 I find the whole packing and unpacking process is exhausting on its own too; usually seems to create a form of decision fatigue?
Truly??? We are actually 2.5 weeks away from what sounds like it will be a VERY similar...errr...adventure...and I am both super scared and impatient to get it started (the sooner we begin, the sooner it ends...I think!). I did NOT factor in grief in my preparations from this chaotic, whirlwind upheaval. 😬 Perhaps I should just stay off RUclips in my free moments so I don't inadvertently add more anxiety. 🤦🏼♀️
@@jaelynrae6045 just be aware of it so it doesn't catch you unaware and smack you right in the neck. Trust me, knowing and expecting it reduces the worst effects. I have moved across country several times and knowing helps so much. Enjoy your adventure!
NGL i want that fashion fails book SO bad. I love tacky, weird, eccentric, dated books. Especially fashion & science (i have a book on dinosaurs from the 70s and it's great)
I'm really loving this trend of showing how long the add is! I usually watch it the first time but when I rewatch videos I skip it (unless is Micarah Tewers). So is very helpful!
I am impressed that the white hat stayed on Abby's head the whole time. Good posture! I am always up for an unboxing of a mystery collection. In the early days of internet shopping (yes I am that old), many boxes turned out to be accidental mysteries and sometimes even a paradox (like why I ordered tissue paper but received shredded wheat cereal, we will never know for certain). Moving is stressful, take time to sleep/rest now as a new house can be like a baby, very needy at inconvenient times.
We moved last September. Buying, selling and moving house is such a pain in the ass, worth it but so not fun. However these boxes were fun. I loved the hat and the green bodice. Hope the process of closing goes smoothly.
I love a good mystery box! There's just something so magical about finding out what's inside, even if you don't quite know what to do with it. And at the very least it'll be a good story later!
Moving is stressful enough when you can leave one house and move into the next in one day, so I feel for you with your having to take so long over the process. I hope the rest of it goes smoothly for you, As a dog owner I also know how stressful it is to have ill animals, and you do not have a vet yet. loved this video, but then love your videos, so no surprise.
I love the chill chat!!! Yes you’ve had a lot of stress. It’s April, and you’ll be closing on your house soon. So Yay!!! The stress will get less soon. I’m so glad you got to work at the university. That’s awesome. You didn’t irritate me with the pin. It just showed that you didn’t put it on in the mirror.
If you'd like to see more indigenous fashion from various nations, I'd recommend giving Beyond Buckskin a look. It also doesn't hurt to support indigenous artists and designers directly. They feature Diné to Métis, so a wide variety of culture. One of my favourite respectful honourings was at the Revenant premier, where Melaw Nakehk'o wore a dress by Christi Belcourt. Absolutely amazing.
I know where that is! Ate in that restaurant one time. There is a quilt show in town in Feb or March in town if you’re every interested. You can find antiques, fabrics and sewing accessories sometimes. There are usually some nice special shows in town at that time. Loved the little museum and old house museums in town. Love Bloomington/ Nashville area. And don’t worry, I’m not going to stalk you, don’t even know when I will be in that area anytime in the future and it’s at least 4 hours or more from me, just fun to recognize a place.
Hope everything works out for you! We just closed on our house on Thursday, so I totally get the levels of stress (but also the levels of relief) you feel during this process!! I’d also be down for a mild roasting of Met Gala fashion…
You can tea 🍵 with Abby us anytime 😊 Your a good sport putting on that little cupie hat 😀 I liked the pin . Glad dogs and you came out ok. Hopefully moving will go quickly 👍
Hello! I hope you have a cheery day. I finally finished up what I had to sew for today and get to sit with my feet up and hand quilt! I hope you have a wonderful week ahead! Thank you for sharing your video!
Like button pressed. Moving is the worst. I hope all goes well. Take some time, light some candles, and try to be zen. Sounds crazy but it does help. Too many moves under my belt to count.
this was so much fun. I feel for you and the houses selling /buying...mouses, babies getting sick all that moving across country is not fun but an adventure that I hope I am finished with since I have done it 4 times in the past 20 years .....all major huge PITA one international! Can not wait to see you new house.
I’m enjoying your unboxing adventure. I don’t think I have watched an unboxing of anything but the Japanese snacks… which I still need to try. Witchy Vintage always has such lovely things.
I click the like for all videos I enjoy, or even would watch the creator again! (Sometimes I have to go back and do it, tho; cooking and crafting are not very click friendly) I really enjoy the what's in the box. Abby, I hope your life gets more and more pleasant and settled... really soon! If you ever have little to no spoons to do much editing, but, want to get something out there, maybe you could do a live chat or vlog type GRWM, food prep, dog walk, shopping or silliness/rant blip. I bet many of us just like listening to your knowledge &/or opinions.
My dad grew up in Modesto, I wonder if he remembers the centennial! He would be too young to have a beard, but my grandfather was the county librarian and always wore one.
So glad to see you. I've missed you. I love your historical commentaries even though I no longer sew or have any historical garments. Of course I'm old enough that if I still had any of the clothes I had as a child or even a young adult--they would be considered antiques!!
Here for chill unboxing time with Abby ™️ I’m glad y’all are ok now! And I’m excited about future house times ahhh!!! Mimi had told me to send you guys lots of love.
Did you see Quannah Chasinghorse at the Met? She 100% understood the assignment, but no one talked about her, sadly. She looked STUNNING and had great Native American inspired style (the dress took inspiration, but from my understanding her jewelry was gifted from her aunt, who was a former Miss Navajo). If you didn’t see her, I’d 100% look her up - she looked like a goddess and her interview was great
Re: Brothers of the Brush - my home town had something similar for their 150th celebration in 1967. Facial hair wasn't big then so they gave notice early, then held a beard contest they also called Brothers of the Brush.
I feel your pain on the mouse issue. I went to a retreat where the cabin had a mouse problem. I woke up to one dropping onto my face in the middle of the night. I didn't get much sleep that weekend.
I stayed in an air b&b with mice years ago i put my snacks in a cubbord and then when i went to get them the next day it was just an empty packet with a corner cheewed out
@@ronistitch6510 poor mice .-. I love mice their so darn cute my animal loving self would safely trap them and bring them somewhere not as uhhh inconvient
The Coin purse is to separate coins into compartments- pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters. That’s just genius. 😍💕 That last blouse was so cute. How sad that the fabric was disintegrating. And how did they wash those types of things? 😔
As someone who is extremely allergic to sunlight (and lives in Australia)... I am all about hats, parasols, gloves, and mourning veils as everyday fashion.🧛🏻♀☂👒🧤
you showed the little houses and I was like "oh yeah, we have a lot of the dutch colonials in my hometown" then you said this was in bloomington, IN (not my home town, but very close)- I had no idea this little place even existed nearby lol. But it definitely has a number of styles that are very common in the little place I grew up.
Oh I love this! The tiny stories from behind the scenes were so fun. I hope your new house will give you the happiness and freedom you deserve ♡ so excited you got to be the professor. Can't imagine how fun that would be!

OMG YESS!!! I thought or her as well when Abby brought up Indigenous fashion!!!!
What a stunning human!! Thanks for making me aware of her
Sadly she has said she's never felt more alone and out of place then at the Gala and won't be returning
Oooo she was hands down the most incredibly dressed person at that Met Gala!!!

The shell's a burrowing clam called a geoduck. Abalone are snails, so they only have one shell instead of paired valves.
Ahh! Thank you!
Pronounced "gooey-duck." :)
@@AbbyCox I was thinking, as I looked at it, that it would be the perfect little purse for medications, such as for when it's "That Time of the Month" -- one pocket for your B Vitamins, one for pain killers, etc. so you can keep them clean from purse lint, without all the bulk of several pill bottles. Just a thought.
It looked like a needle holder to me.
@@CapriUni That’s exactly what I thought. I’m the person who always have most minor medical emergencies ready in my purse, so I thought this would be a perfect pill / bandage case
Raise your hand if you would watch the shit out of a History of Boobs or Butts-level Abby Cox rant/analysis of the Met Gala!

Most definitely!
Yes yes yes! Partially because last year was a disgrace!
Yes. With a full review of last year as a warm up?
Yes
Brothers of the Brush are local historical groups, often celebrating centennial or other interval events. They wore beards and historical costumes so commemorate the history of the community. Cool find.
So right in Abby's wheelhouse. So awesome.
That looks like it's for the Modesto, CA centennial.
@@mandariley I was wondering if that's the Modesto it was talking about.
Thanks! I’m only reading the comments to find out. 😀
I live pretty close to Modesto and I go there often! Love the McHenry Mansion so much and I highly recommend it. I think it’s so cool that one of my favorite RUclipsrs has a button from Modesto! Also, fun fact, George Lucas was born in Modesto.
I guess that "clam purse" is for carrying coins, so they don't get lost all over your bag. Here in Spain we call it "monedero"

Hope everything works out for you! We just closed on our house on Thursday, so I totally get the levels of stress (but also the levels of relief) you feel during this process!! I’d also be down for a mild roasting of Met Gala fashion…
You can tea 🍵 with Abby us anytime 😊
Your a good sport putting on that little cupie hat 😀 I liked the pin . Glad dogs and you came out ok. Hopefully moving will go quickly 👍
Hello! I hope you have a cheery day. I finally finished up what I had to sew for today and get to sit with my feet up and hand quilt! I hope you have a wonderful week ahead! Thank you for sharing your video!
Is that Collar JET?!? It's GORGEOUS (Yes, Nicole Needs That!) Amazing that the Veil hasn't Shattered 🎉2nd box ROCKED!
I absolutely love your glee with opening the boxes.. and I am so sorry to hear that you are having such stress and bad luck with your air b&b's.
Abby! This is my first time watching one of your videos. And I am hooked! May be hook and eye😜
Like button pressed. Moving is the worst. I hope all goes well. Take some time, light some candles, and try to be zen. Sounds crazy but it does help. Too many moves under my belt to count.
The shell purse is cute for medications on the go (much cuter than orange medication bottles), money, or emergency sewing kits.
this was so much fun. I feel for you and the houses selling /buying...mouses, babies getting sick all that moving across country is not fun but an adventure that I hope I am finished with since I have done it 4 times in the past 20 years .....all major huge PITA one international! Can not wait to see you new house.
I love how excited you get over historical pieces! It's too cute 🥰
I’m enjoying your unboxing adventure. I don’t think I have watched an unboxing of anything but the Japanese snacks… which I still need to try. Witchy Vintage always has such lovely things.
I so agree about the Met! There were so many different possibilities that people could have chosen and yet...nope. Fingers crossed for this year...
I click the like for all videos I enjoy, or even would watch the creator again! (Sometimes I have to go back and do it, tho; cooking and crafting are not very click friendly)
I really enjoy the what's in the box.
Abby, I hope your life gets more and more pleasant and settled... really soon!
If you ever have little to no spoons to do much editing, but, want to get something out there, maybe you could do a live chat or vlog type GRWM, food prep, dog walk, shopping or silliness/rant blip. I bet many of us just like listening to your knowledge &/or opinions.
My dad grew up in Modesto, I wonder if he remembers the centennial! He would be too young to have a beard, but my grandfather was the county librarian and always wore one.
The Historical Fashion Mystery Box is like the gift that keeps on giving. Such cute items 👏🏽
Love that little shell purse. I would totally put it in my sewing kit with something ? In it. Maybe blunt large needles.
Keep smiling! Glad to hear the puppies are ok and you are as well.
So glad to see you. I've missed you. I love your historical commentaries even though I no longer sew or have any historical garments. Of course I'm old enough that if I still had any of the clothes I had as a child or even a young adult--they would be considered antiques!!
Here for chill unboxing time with Abby ™️
I’m glad y’all are ok now! And I’m excited about future house times ahhh!!! Mimi had told me to send you guys lots of love.
Oh I loved the 1970s bracelet
The fact that you used a clip from GMM to emphasize the point, was solid proof that I need this video right now.
I am here for the mystery boxes.
That last green piece is SO gorgeous
Did you see Quannah Chasinghorse at the Met? She 100% understood the assignment, but no one talked about her, sadly. She looked STUNNING and had great Native American inspired style (the dress took inspiration, but from my understanding her jewelry was gifted from her aunt, who was a former Miss Navajo). If you didn’t see her, I’d 100% look her up - she looked like a goddess and her interview was great
She and Nikki were my favorites!
@@AbbyCox yuuuus they were both so lovely!
Love your energy and enjoy the time I spend with your videos. Thank you for sharing.
Re: Brothers of the Brush - my home town had something similar for their 150th celebration in 1967. Facial hair wasn't big then so they gave notice early, then held a beard contest they also called Brothers of the Brush.
Sponsor ribbon/time tracker thingie along the bottom = GENIUS. ❤🔥
I find it distressing that I was alive and very aware for almost everything in the eccentric box. I remember making those button bracelets.
I feel your pain on the mouse issue. I went to a retreat where the cabin had a mouse problem. I woke up to one dropping onto my face in the middle of the night. I didn't get much sleep that weekend.
I stayed in an air b&b with mice years ago i put my snacks in a cubbord and then when i went to get them the next day it was just an empty packet with a corner cheewed out
I would have freaked out!
@@ronistitch6510 poor mice .-. I love mice their so darn cute my animal loving self would safely trap them and bring them somewhere not as uhhh inconvient
@@Silver_wind_1987_ i let the air b&b owner know i didnt put it in the reviue that felt harsh
@@ronistitch6510 true mice happen...they can get in through many places
Just got home from work. It as wonderful to sit down and have a chat!
The Coin purse is to separate coins into compartments- pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters. That’s just genius. 😍💕
That last blouse was so cute. How sad that the fabric was disintegrating. And how did they wash those types of things? 😔
Please give us a met gala special 💖 I love that last piece, how gorgeous! And the gif references you peppered in were top notch.
We love a mystery box!
Also, I hope everything goes super smoothly for you this month ♡
As someone who is extremely allergic to sunlight (and lives in Australia)... I am all about hats, parasols, gloves, and mourning veils as everyday fashion.🧛🏻♀☂👒🧤
Glad you've got a better place to stay now! I always enjoy your content and how it's both entertaining and genuine.
you showed the little houses and I was like "oh yeah, we have a lot of the dutch colonials in my hometown" then you said this was in bloomington, IN (not my home town, but very close)- I had no idea this little place even existed nearby lol. But it definitely has a number of styles that are very common in the little place I grew up.
Oh I love this! The tiny stories from behind the scenes were so fun. I hope your new house will give you the happiness and freedom you deserve ♡ so excited you got to be the professor. Can't imagine how fun that would be!
You could probably use the shell purse as a small sewing kit. Keep needles and thread and pins. If drugs don't spark joy
Love the mushroom hat... now i need one... hmmm maybe knitted.
that green though on that last item... I'm in love 🖤🖤🖤
That princess sticker book unlocked a hidden memory from 2004 when I owned that exact one
Missed you too Abby! So good to hear from you. 😃❤️
I love this format and about shrieked when you showed the clip of good mythical morning who are another family favorite of ours xoxo
Oh my god I have missed you and your videos!! I love the idea of mystery boxes filled with historical/vintage items. That's so cool!
