That hideous chair could go two ways - you’d have to find the right fabric but it could be made to look like a seashell or you could go mad and use bright red leather or a British racing green coloured leather to reupholster
Aw, I collect, "Made in Occupied Japan," Children's play set dishes - Contemporary. My grandmas started me on those. 101 yr old Auntie, firstborn of 8 & mom, baby of the bunch, had me learning about costume jewelry, buying it. Just lost both. Funniest thing, mom wanted Swarovski and Tourmaline, so spent 4 years trying to find what she wants. Then, she got sick. But those Swarovski beads, discontinued and Tourmaline went right through the roof!! So, mom helped me, in a strange way.
@@TheAntiqueNomad Yes, she did! It began when we robbed of our favorite gems and jewelry, while I was a Sophomore in HS. She soon married my stepdad, he heard what happened, one emotional Friday. That weekend, he surprised us with a 6" faceting machine, along with semiprecious rough! We three, learned to use it, together, while my siblings did other things. We didn't replace, we created new jewelry, some with ostentatiously huge stones! We also took on the challenge of cabbing Star Rubies and Sapphires! My fave: Faceting grandma's fire opal! Took the 3 of us, taking turns working it fast and furious, stopping before it got hot! Gorgeous 😍
We have refurbished a China cabinet and put in our master bathroom for towels and toiletries. Looks really pretty! I have a mid century cabinet I keep my Scooby Doo collection in. The back is papered with 1960’s “groovy” wallpaper. Thinking of finding some Scooby Doo paper instead. I have seen the top portions of cabinets incorporated in with existing kitchen cabinetry. Some put sinks in old dressers. Looks great! There are all kinds of things to do! Put a China cabinet in the bedroom for sweaters! I have a hutch in my closet for our underwear and socks. Works out wonderfully! Just get creative!
Hi, just for your infomation, you were in the Waynesburg PA Hidden Treasures store, NOT Franklin PA. I know this because I shop there all the time! Glad you liked it and found some good items.
It was very close to Waynesburg, but not in the town proper. I suppose I should have been more specific and said, "Franklin Township." That's what Google said, anyway. Yes, I did find some good things there!
I just picked up a Stanford 9 in ch green and cream glazed vase from Crazy Lamp Lady. Such gorgeous stuff, and since I grew up near there, I’m remembering how much was around. On a mission to poll my cousins and see who wants to trade!
Oh, fun! It's great when you have a group and can trade with them. I'm glad Jocelyn had a nice green example of Stanford, she gets really fun stuff and she's in the right place to find more interesting variations, I rarely see the green
Love the strolls through the thrift stores and the information imparted - thanks as always. And just a comment about Balmoral - you were right it seems like King Charles is seriously considering making Balmoral into a memorial to the Queen Early days yet what form it would take but it is on the table
That thrift store was amazing! So many good things in one location. “This is hideous!” Haaaaa That made me laugh so hard when you said that about the chair. 😆
Love the hideous! Lol. I have an an olive green den/library just waiting for a reading chair, to go with a unique brass floor lamp I already have. Perfection.❤ Love, love the chest of drawers just before it with the small top drawers. Very interesting. . The waterfall chifferobe along the wall. Those prices are incredible.
You know what, I could see that! I think if it was in the right fall coloring, this chair could really be right somewhere. The small top drawers were a great feature on that piece! I'm glad you appreciate the furniture, I want to show people what a bargain it is so the pieces might find new homes
@@TheAntiqueNomad I love old furniture. It is such great way to furnish a first home, apartment or dorm room. There's so much character. Thank you for all you do.
Hi George. That chair would be tamed 🤣 some by placing it in a room with solid colors. With a vintage throw laid across. A nice comfy chair for a bedroom corner to sit and put your sock n shoes on. With some rich wood bedroom furniture. BUT The chest of drawers with the log cabin etched between the 2 drawers? If you push slightly on it does it pop opened for a "hidden cubby" or reach under it and slide a drawer? It seems odd for that to be just a wasted decorative space between the 2 drawers. Hmm Nice Store. Glad you stopped for gas. Safe Travels 🌹
I think that's a really good and thoughtful way to style that chair, it could be a fun pop of color if it was the only pattern in the room! I would have thought that panel would reveal a drawer but I guess it was just decoration
@@TheAntiqueNomad Thank you for replying to my comment. I am behind in watching my favorites. This year without my Sweet Momma and Sissy (who passed 2wks apart )has been emotional. It was last August but I don't even remember last Christmas. And this year everything has been hitting me. My little 12yr old Chihuahua who is my hairy son has been having seizures , he had a stroke and went blind completely with the 1st one 3wks ago. Now he has heart failure. I promise to get caught up. I adore watching your adventures and the knowledge you share. Merry Christmas Blessings George 🎄💝🎄🎅
LOL George..do thrift stores just fall into your lap or what? 😂 I love the dollhouse w/ furniture & the child's lusterware tea set💙. Awesome deal on the Bakelite earrings 🧡. Great tour for a spontaneous pit stop!!👍
I would put a window with bars in each door of that TV cabinet, paint it, and use it for a dog kennel for bedtime. It would look a lot better than those big ugly wire cages do.
I enjoyed your venture in these thrift stores, you go into details about some of the interesting pieces. Which gives me something to hunt for when I go to the thrift stores. Love it. Have a great day
I think it but don't usually say it...this time, a few people really disagreed, and they had some good ideas how to style it that I think would give it new life
I find ice buckets IMPOSSIBLE to sell. Even cool vintage ones. One bad omen is-- you STILL find old ones "in the wild" .... meaning it's universally known they are a hard sell. 🤨
Good evening, George! I have an "Iris and Herringbone" water set, but mine is in marigold. The clear ones are older but don't seem to price as much as the marigold. OMG!!! Don't say the blue geese are coming back 🤣 I hated those things when they were..."popular"😐😂 Those vase/lamp conversions make me sad. I liked the green Czech decanter set better than the purple 😉😆 I like the Napco head vases best of any of them. There were some interesting ones there, though. I'd like to have a Marilyn Monroe and a Jackie Kennedy. Loved that turn of the century cabinet with the "sweeps" on each side! Lots of nice, interesting things in all those shops! Thanks for the take-along!!!
Hello! I am so dreadfully behind but finally catching up on old comments, I am very appreciative of them even if it takes awhile to say so! I like the Marigold Iris beverage set a lot. I was not a blue geese fan either, but you know someone's grandma had it and loved it, so it will come back...the green was in better condition, so I bought it...I'd also love to have a Marilyn and Jackie Kennedy head vase, but I never have found any I could afford! Thanks for watching and letting me know your thoughts, I always enjoy reading them
@@TheAntiqueNomad Well, I guess, if it does come back, I could use the blue geese things in the garage...to store nails and screws 😏😆🤣 Yeah, the MM and Jackie Kennedy head vases can be eyewatering in price. I've seen some of them priced well over the $1000.00 mark. That was some time ago, though, and I have no idea what they price now. If you've noticed, I usually comment only on items that interest me. The MCM stuff really doesn't catch my attention too much, (and I just really don't like kitsch), but there are a few pieces with designs that interest me. I'm happy you bought the green set!
I got several comments like that, and one person even said how they would use it in a way that I have to admit sounded really good! It just goes to show that one person's judgements are specific to their taste and are not the way everyone should view things
What a fun walk through. So many interesting things . I always enjoy your comments on the items. I learn so much Thank you for sharing. Please Stay Safe, Happy And Healthy. Have A Wonderful Day
So sorry I missed it live but Holy Cow 33K subscribers! Soon to be 33 MILLION because you are the best! Love and hugs and thank yous from AL! Tim and I enjoyed the rewatch
Aww thanks! I'm glad you had fun with this one. I like the vanity table to end table idea a lot, there's a lot of demand for end tables! Navy velvet would be good to tone that down and yet have interest in the shape
So did a lot of people! One even described how she'd use it in a way that made me think I was wrong about it...it all depends on visualizing the place something should be
Given away on The Price is Right - you crack me up! I know it's too early for you to know but I hope everything in Florida is safe. I have a lot of friends in the path of Ian. Hope all is well.
I went to St Louis and totally scored in their thrift stores. I found Dresden lace figurines, some beautiful MCM tumblers and Roseville candleholders for $3.99!!! In mint condition.
I’m surprised how many Rock ‘em, Sock ‘em Robots I see in vintage stores. I remember Christmas 1964 when the neighborhood kids all wanted them for Christmas. (I didn’t want them, though…)
That's right, they were new then! I think it was a way to take out your aggressions without really fighting...although my viewers all said it started a few fights in their homes lol
I didn't arrive until Aug.of 1970 but I wanted those badly. I had to disassemble and see how they worked. As I did anything w movement. Lol. Enjoy your afternoon!
Those two places were nice & tidy. I know with vendor's booths we have to utilize our real estate well & sometimes it seems cluttered or controlled chaos (altho your's always look nice, George). I just sold a bookcase i was using for display so on the hunt for another.
That's a great problem to have, but you sure get a shock when you come in and everything that was on the bookcase is now on the floor! It's hard to strike a balance between needing to sell enough stock to cover rent and make something, while merchandising in a way that features the best items and makes people visualize having it in their homes! A good merchandiser would do what I do and then edit by taking a box or two out...but as much as I travel, I just have to let it be stuffed so there's enough left as things sell between my visits.
Thank you for an enjoyable time. I kept thinking the pink and gray geese you looked at reminded me of howard pierce pottery. Do you know if his pottery is something that is less collectable now?
I still love it, and he has adherents, but it isn't as big a seller these days. Scarce pieces still go really well though, and I don't think prices have really fallen, just the turn is slower.
I think that would be a better color for it! Although...one viewer described how she would use it in a certain setting, and I have to admit it sounded like it would be attractive
I am collecting Morgan silver dollars from the 1800s currently...I also like Victorian fans, Eastlake furniture, marble top tables...and if you can find original fairy lamps from that era, that's another cool thing! But I really like antique advertising and trade cards and early chromolithography the most from that era
11:02 Lady head vases were over priced and over valued even way back in the beginning of the collectible universe in the early 1980s. There is an unending supply of them and when you see the prices ; it's like "OK, move on". NEVER room for resale with Lady Heads. I just don't get it. They should be $20.00 to $40.00 (NOT $40.00 - $80.00) .
Thanks so very very much George.
Thanks George!!
George, thank you for all the hours of true pleasure you have added to my life!
I'm so glad for that! Thank you
Thanks so much for the education. 🤗
Ha. Lmao .... "To pull the trigger"
❤
Thank you George. You always make me smile.
Me too ! 😊
thought nthe skeletons in the chairs were fun for Halloween, and yes, that dog needs to go out lol
That was one long conversation 😆 lol I'm dying 💚💀💚
😂
That hideous chair could go two ways - you’d have to find the right fabric but it could be made to look like a seashell or you could go mad and use bright red leather or a British racing green coloured leather to reupholster
Ooh I like the latter idea! Although for my house, the seashell would be much more appropriate.
Thank u so much for educating us!
We had the Rock ‘‘em Sock ‘em robots when I was little. It was a fun game
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Aw, I collect, "Made in Occupied Japan," Children's play set dishes - Contemporary. My grandmas started me on those. 101 yr old Auntie, firstborn of 8 & mom, baby of the bunch, had me learning about costume jewelry, buying it. Just lost both. Funniest thing, mom wanted Swarovski and Tourmaline, so spent 4 years trying to find what she wants. Then, she got sick. But those Swarovski beads, discontinued and Tourmaline went right through the roof!! So, mom helped me, in a strange way.
Neat! I like those sets a lot, it's sad to have those people pass but so grateful for what they taught us. Mom had good and trendsetting taste!
@@TheAntiqueNomad Yes, she did! It began when we robbed of our favorite gems and jewelry, while I was a Sophomore in HS. She soon married my stepdad, he heard what happened, one emotional Friday. That weekend, he surprised us with a 6" faceting machine, along with semiprecious rough! We three, learned to use it, together, while my siblings did other things.

I so enjoy your sense of humour!🇨🇦
Thank you! I have fun doing this and it just comes out

Next time stop in my hometown of Pittsburgh! I’d be happy to share my thrifting spots!
Yes please! I've never gotten to Pittsburgh and it's high on my list
@@TheAntiqueNomad I think you would really enjoy a visit! Maybe when the weather is a little better 🥶
LOL George..do thrift stores just fall into your lap or what? 😂 I love the dollhouse w/ furniture & the child's lusterware tea set💙. Awesome deal on the Bakelite earrings 🧡. Great tour for a spontaneous pit stop!!👍
I guess they do, that was a real surprise! I'm glad I got to share my good fortune
I would put a window with bars in each door of that TV cabinet, paint it, and use it for a dog kennel for bedtime. It would look a lot better than those big ugly wire cages do.
I just saw where someone else was using an old TV cabinet as a pet bed! I never thought of it
I want to be out thrifting and have George walk in! These places are not that far from me.
It could happen!
I enjoyed your venture in these thrift stores, you go into details about some of the interesting pieces. Which gives me something to hunt for when I go to the thrift stores. Love it. Have a great day
That makes me happy! I want people to enjoy and preserve all this cool old stuff so it doesn't disappear
You are so knowledgeable, and I love your humor! I tend to use the word “hideous “ quite often when looking at vintage furniture! 😆😉
I think it but don't usually say it...this time, a few people really disagreed, and they had some good ideas how to style it that I think would give it new life
20"25 I HAVE A NEMADJI POTTERY VASE WITH THE INDIAN HEAD ON THE BACK
Like that stuff!
🤣🤣🤣💙 funniest intro
😂😂😂😂😂
That place in Zanesville is just down the road a bit from Columbus where I live. Will have to check it out.
Yes! Well worth it
I find ice buckets IMPOSSIBLE to sell. Even cool vintage ones. One bad omen is-- you STILL find old ones "in the wild" .... meaning it's universally known they are a hard sell. 🤨
Great show and thanks George.
Thank you so much for watching with us!
I have that cat - been looking for the salt shakers for a couple years!

Your unexpected “This is hideous” cracked me up.
Someone liked it, and had a really good idea how to style it, so I guess hideous is subjective...I couldn't see it in my mind's eye though
I love that “hideous” chair and would love it in my home.

So cool! Good shopping in Pennsylvania

3:50 I HAVE A GEORGES BRIARD ICE BUCKET IN MINT CONDITION ( ok in very good condition )
I like his buckets especially well!
Well, I have a chair exactly like the "hideous" one, except mine is off white. Lol
I think that would be a better color for it! Although...one viewer described how she would use it in a certain setting, and I have to admit it sounded like it would be attractive
Do you ever get to northern Ohio?? I am in Northeast ... I see ur in Southwest ohio & have been to marietta
I did the Geagua show in 2020 but haven't gotten back up there since
I just saw that piece of Nemadji pottery for sale on Etsy for about $200! Did u get it?
I didn't
I know it's a broad question, but if you were to start collecting something from the 1800's, what would it be?
I am collecting Morgan silver dollars from the 1800s currently...I also like Victorian fans, Eastlake furniture, marble top tables...and if you can find original fairy lamps from that era, that's another cool thing! But I really like antique advertising and trade cards and early chromolithography the most from that era
I’ve been to that Hidden Treasures Antique store! Thanks for the video!
So cool!
