Don’t take a shot every time I say Bitossi in this episode or you’ll be hungover for a week 🤣🤣🤣 But I’ll give a virtual high five to anyone who can guess correctly how many times I say BITOSSI! 😂🥳
I guess 30 times🙋♀️
I thought it was Pitossi🤣…I need a shot now for that blunder…cheers!
🥴 🥴 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

The brass lamp is an exciting find. It is not actually an incense holder. It is a diya or ghee lamp and is used in worship of God. A wick made of cotton and soaked in ghee (clarified butter) is placed in each of the receptacles, lit and offered to God as part of worship or puja. There is a handle at the back of the lamp so it can be held and moved around gently in a clockwise direction. Ghee lamps radiate the most beautiful pure golden light. They beautifully illuminate the form of God that is being worshipped. The golden color is similar to the sun at sunrise. Some Ayurvedic practitioners recommend gently gazing at the light to bring the color gold into the body via the eyes. It’s a beautiful lamp and looks nicely made. Best wishes 😊🙏
thanks for the explanation - I knew that it was for something like that, but I didn't know the details. I had seen these lamps at Hindu ceremonies and Diwali but didn't know exactly how they're used.
Yes! I just finished commenting about this too, but you explained more details. Lovely!
That is so beautiful, thank you so much for sharing this! I love learning about other beliefs and their traditions.🥰
Thank you so much for taking the time to share all of this! I’ll share an update with everyone in an upcoming video ❤️
@@leftcoastrevivals It’s my pleasure ☺️ It’s nice to know what things are used for. I saw you pick a simpler one up but not purchase it in one of your videos a few months ago. This one is a beauty..
I watched your channel at work ( on break😉) got done with work walked into my local thrift store and found a bitossi $5.00 must have been a sign. I couldn't believe, 😂
Keep the clocks the way they are.. get them working of course!
We think your Bitossi display looks excellent! Varied in color, texture and size - a beautiful display and a great wrap-up of where and how you thrifted them.
Yes, it is wonderful.
Thank you! It sure is fun to see them all together!
Your “incense burner” is actually an Indian religious oil lamp. Probably not antique but definitely worth more than you bought it for and very cute!
I am so happy for you, Laura! You look beyond radiantly happy to have found that lovely Bitosi vase. You are my thrifting heroine, Laura, and I live through you vicariously!
Girl, you are amazing! You are so good at what you do. You have a pleasant voice, enthusiastic, knowledgeable, you explain, you love mid-century, you are artsy. You are just everything in one package! Pretty too! I enjoy your channel very much. Jesse is a keeper too!!❤
Love your coatrack idea for purses and tote bags. I can't imagine an image in the clocks with all of that intricate artwork. I guess some black and whites photos could work nicely and you can even cut them to fit on top of the glass without disturbing the clock. But I think the clock itself is so charming and sweet to admire even if it doesn't work. It brings the attention to the framework and artistry. Laura, you find the most beautiful and interesting treasure. It's always a pleasure watching your videos.
You deserve that Bitossi because you work really hard and it was meant to be ❤️❤️❤️
Okay I’m officially addicted to this channel‼️❤️
I was literally heart pounding with you when you said Bitossi because we all know your affection for it. The thrift Gods definitely sent you the bat signal on this trip.
And I almost didn’t stop!!
Girl! I am giddy for you! Every so often, I find a treasure that just puts me over the edge. Nothing this fab, though. So cool!!!
Love that you found such a gem! Your joy passes on to your viewers ❣️ Thank you so much for sharing your finds and your knowledge!
Such an amazing haul! I think that dog statue was from the 1980s during the Miami Vice Art Deco revival. (I refer to it as Miami Vice because it was popular when the show was a hit and featured some of Miami's great Art Deco styling in pastel colors.) The greyhound statues were a big deal during that era. You might remember the massive one from the Friends TV show.
To remove surface rust lay the candle holder in a bath of white vinegar or coca cola overnight.
White vinegar definitely works
Girl,I'm drunk...on your junk haul!What a Bonanza!❤
Wow! --- GREAT Bitossi, Laura! --- SCORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It'll look GORGEOUS with your collection! 😃😃😃
I share them all in the end of the video. It goes so well with them 😄😄😄
$2.99 Bitossi!!!!!! This is one of my favorite hauls you've made from thrift stores. That couch! That dog! The cake stand! I'm pretty jealous. Just saying.
I agree, this was an incredible thrifting trip. So many treasures in so few places. I am also very jealous, lol!
I love all of the Bitosis displayed together. Lots of impact.
As my husband would say, Laura is luckier than a two-peckered dog! Definitely the QUEEN of the thrift stores! ❤
I’m dying laughing!!!
Vase is by Fratelli Fanciullacci …They are MY favorite ❣️. I have 3 of the Sgrafitto vases and som other things. I do find Bitossi fairly often thrifting her in Denmark
Your swedish candle holder is a advent candle holder, You light one candle each sunday in december, in the 79s in advent colrbr purple / lilac candles, now we do it with white candles.
Thanks so much for not making us wait until the end to watch you find that ABSOLUTE GEM! Way to go, Laura! 🎉❤
What a golden thrift day! All the original art! Wowza
Yahoo for the greyhound!! Anyone in my greyhound rescue group would be delighted to have that in their collection 😀
My husband and rescue mostly Pitbul mixes but we have been discussing adopting a greyhound as well. Are they as chill and easy as most people say? Are they mostly dog friendly?
My favorite gentle rust remover is Never Dull Wadding Polish. It is oily saturated batting packed in a can, rub rub rub to lift oxidation and rust. Keep turning to fresh side and Using fresh pieces as needed. I have also had success putting rusted item in ziploc bag, spraying it down with WD-40, and leaving that sit for days. Then working on it a while, scrubbing with balls of foil and fresh super fine steel wool. then putting fresh WD 40 on it and giving it more bag time, days more. Repeat as needed...to be gentle, it takes patience and re-visiting. Like you are the Dr and the item is the patient, best results are from being careful and going in stages. If you want to really poke and scrape at a rust spot, use a wooden tool like a toothpick ( be prepared to go through lots of them) or a bamboo skewer, or a plastic or nylon clay sculpting tool. Do not poke or scrape with a metal tool, that will lead to nasty scratches on the metal item. You may want to put an old towel or tshirt rag in the sink when washing metal to keep from scratching or marking the sink ❤
Stunning Bitossi!
Love that cakestand!
Love the sculpt of the dog.
Your Bitossi bird is so cute!
I am so happy and full of joy for you and your Bitossi.
That critter's a LEOPARD Laura. As in the saying "a leopard never changes his spots." (My grandma referring to my, at times very work averse, grandad on a day, many years ago, when he disappeared for hours leaving us to do all the hard physical work.) I'd asked her how on earth how she could put up with that. She'd replied that she and pop were like 2 draught horses in harness; they'd plodded along together for so long that neither would be able to cope on their own. Then she added, "And of course, a leopard never changes his spots!" So, every time I see a pic or video of a leopard, I think about my pop and that conversation with my grandmother! Also, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the Bitossi! You clever, lucky thing, you!
But cheetahs have spots too... And they are leaner, like this little critter seems to be.
Hi Laura, At 14:09 when you show your collection of Bitossi ,you have a painting on the wall. Not sure if you know it's by Canadian "Group of Seven " artist Tom Thomson. It's called, "The Jack Pine" 1916-1917. It's supposed to convey the Northern Ontario landscape. The artist died the same year this painting was finished . The original was oil on canvas. Wish it was an original. 🤑
Here’s the video where I find it! Goodwill score 🥳🥳 ruclips.net/video/0FkvG0m_r5A/видео.htmlsi=gjr_wIszpqKxKPxO
@@leftcoastrevivals oh! I watched that episode too. I don't remember that part. 🤔 Maybe my dogs were needing my attention at that moment. Thanks! Great score! 😁
Such fun to see and hear about your Bitossi collection. Looking forward to our Belgium adventure.
Single salt or pepper shakers can also be used for spices at the table when not everyone is a fan eg cinnamon, nutmeg etc
The joy on your face was infectious! I’m so happy for you!
Oprah quote Joy is one part inner peace, one part giddy delight and 100% attainable.”
You definitely had giddy delight finding that Bittosi vase!
Found a mushroom made of myrtlewood here in Atlanta today..I thank you for introducing me to this beautiful wood.
Wood mushrooms were used for darning socks😊
I can't tell you how excited I got when you found the Bitossi - I'm on the east coast in Canada and we don't get a lot of Bitossi but we do get a lot of West German pottery and there are a lot of dedicated collectors around here - I collect it as well and am always on the hunt - so I know how amazing it feels to find those special pieces! Cheers, I'm super happy for you!
Wow! I love that feeling. What a treasure. ❤
Hi Laura, been an avid watcher for years. I'd LOVE to see how you clean up all your finds. From wicker baskets, brass, wood and everything else. It would be great to see. So many times I've been put off by the 'state' of items but your guidance would be great. Thank you and love from Ireland xx
Your Lorenzo kitty is so beautiful! Great picking trip.
Hi, Its Indian incense and diya(we light it with ghee/oil with cotton wick) stand. We use it in prayer room or for decoration during festivals.
Thank you for sharing this info!! I’ll google it and see how it’s done. ❤️
Please leave the clocks as they are - they are so beautiful and unique! I love some many of the things you found today. I can't make up my mind which I like the best. The Hollywood Glam lamps are FAB-u-lous. The greyhound or whippet is breathtaking! I think it's original to the thirties. I don't believe a reproduction could be so perfectly formed. The clocks are amazing! The style and color are superb. Etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. Congratulations.
I can’t believe you had such an amazing picking day, every where you went there were crazy good finds! Wow, wow,wow!
The art was just unbelievable. 🥰And a giant Bitossi,what? For $2.99, what?🤭☺️
Thank you for showing your collection of Bitossi pottery. You've confirmed that my ochre/gold with orange ashtray is really a Bitossi as it is identical to your blue ones in all but color. I always enjoy your posts. 💛🧡💛from Seattle!
Wowza -- great luck this trip with those finds!🤩
I share your excitement, Laura. That is gorgeous!
Clocks are parquetry. Marquetry is organic design inlay while parquetry is geometric, like parquet floors being geometric designs. What wonderful Bitossi collection. I have a nice Italian pottery collection as well. On that candelabra where you left some rust, I'd spray it with a clear lacquer to darken the rust and seal it. I do that and it works wonderfully because it preserves the patina and adds character.
Omgosh! The finds just keep coming. How exciting for you.
I am so 'J' of your Bitossi collection. Love all the pieces and almost fell off my chair when I saw the clip of the Birds by Bitossi, omg!!! I have going to hunt for them now. And the pottery with the ladies is by Fanciullaci
Thank you for another wonderful video I love how you teach us about all the stuff you find. I love the Bitossi bird. I will go out a look for them now
Wow! So happy for you finding that great Bitossi!
I think this was one of you best ever hauls. Loved everything. The art was fabulous and those lamps just stunning! Great seeing your Bitossi pieces together with another favourite, your gorgeous Fratelli Fanciullacci ladies.
Will be going to the market in Bruges. Hope I will see you there!
Loved this adventure !!! Congratulations on the great first find !! ❤️🦘
I loved this video! This was an absolutely fabulous trip. So many great finds. I love the artwork the cat sculpture is fabulous. I don't think it is from the 30s or 40s because of the rough bottom. It is absolutely beautiful. I love thrifting with you. I no longer live anywhere near any thrift shops, so I get my fix through you. Thank you.
Great episode, your excitement is contagious!
WoW! I was shaking too! And I was so anxious that something mat be happened to it! And so relieved when I saw it at your home, beautifully staged! It looks briljant! So happy for you!!! ❤️
You inspired me so much that I visited a local flea market in N Georgia and found a 13” Aldo Londi Rimini blue Bitossi Vase! Thank you for all your lessons!❤️
Over the moon happy and excited for you. I know the feeling when you find a incredible treasure. ENJOY.
Amazing Bitossi. That sofa/couch is flipping fabulous. I’m in love. You have such a good eye for detail xx
Oh, that couch. We were so happy to get rid of those things.
@@visitingfromsantafe1329 that’s my childhood. I bask in all it patterned glory 💋💋
I’m so happy for you ! I could feel your joy through the screen. lol Bitossi or bust.
IT was a great pleasure! Thank U very much.🎉❤
Good to see my FAVORITE LEFT COAST GIRL🧡🧡🧡
Loved seeing your styled Bitossi collection!!
I think the faces on the wooden plate medallion with the wooly faces around the edge are called Greenman from Scotland or Ireland. I also Love your Bitossi collection!!
Your oak peg board looks Great over your seat at home! I don’t see anything wrong with hanging it low. It fits the space well and has a purpose! Go for it!
So many good finds!!! I have a trip to Oregon coming up and I’m so excited to do some thrifting 🥰
Love it when you post more than once a week. Great haul❤
Laura, I enjoy watching your videos. Found my first piece of Bitossi.
Congrats on your new piece! Would love to see how you clean the Hollywood Regency lamps/crystals.
I know that feeling of the great find, Laura. So happy for you that you found that lovely piece of Bitossi at such a bargain price.Thank you for such a fun shopping video! ✌🏼
The fruit still life is so life like!! What a steal!! I also love the copper crane. I just can’t get over how cheap everything is out there!
I’d be the worst with buying and reselling because if I found a $1500 vase at a charity thrift shop for $2.99, I’d probably tell them they needed to charge me more. I’d feel too guilty.
I personally wouldn't take those clocks out. The charm of them would be ruined (just my op) They have such beautiful looking details that would be lost. Of course again, just my 2c. thanks for the show.
In my opinion one of your best hauls ever- I pretty much loved everything as diverse as each item was. I'd really love to see your Swedish candle holder when it's completely refurbed. Love the deco dog and the crane cake plate. Amazing finds!
Very interesting to see your whole Bitossi collection! Yes, it's the hunt that is so fun too...
Oh my I grew up watching my late dad re upholsterer furniture 😂❤❤❤that couch. He would say, you grab it girl.😂 a few minutes in the men standing in a row look like ..karen lavender clotheslines hubby. Funny
I can't believe the beautiful things available in the first store guys.❤❤❤your videos sweetie
Omg I love your style so much! I think when you come to Australia you’re going to love some of our mid century pottery. It’s so Freeeessshhh!
Vinegar and oil oil and steel wool will scrub that rust off and preserve it. Best hack for wrought iron and other pitted antique metal.
Laura, I absolutely 💯 ❤love your Bittosi😅all together! Different colors and styles ✨️! ✨️ they look FANTABULOUS 😊❤❤
I am a proud owner and fan of the greyhound. I myself have a blue Italian grey…or iggy. The statue is lovely and art deco maybe, but in all honesty they pose all the time. This is just a look lol. It may be an Iggy, or it may be a whippet, but I kind of feel it’s either a pose of an iggy or a large greyhound. The whippet was recent in being acknowledged by AKC (?) because they are derived by breeding a couple different breeds together. what a great find for someone wish I’d found it for 12.99😊
Where did you find your greyhound statue?
@@maggiemay0328 Looks like she means a live dog 😊
@@wolfysays6311 Thank you for clarifying!
I have the same brown and blue Bitossi you have at 18.34. Your new bitossi looks like a birch tree😊
I was thinking the same about a birch tree.
You have the best haul I’ve seen in a long time lucky you 🎉
I think the faces on the wooden plate medallion with the wooly faces around the edge are called Greenman from Scotland or Ireland.
Can’t wait to see what you do with the couch!! As always great haul❤
Amazing velvet couch....no words! Spectacular price! ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for teaching me about Bitossi…. Because I actually found one today. A Rosenthal x Bitossi vase 😊
Loved todays episode with lotsa ideas back home with the goodies you bought. ❤
Wow, you hit the jack pot with the Bitossi. This was a special thirty trip!
It was meant for you!! So thrilled for your new Bitossi!
Oh wow. What a score on the Bitossi!!! And that couch, love it!!
So glad it’s FriYay….means I can see your thrifting trips. I love you to pieces.
Happy Friday!
First Comment! Woo Hoo! Can't wait to see what you find Laura! How wonderful you found the Bitossi!
My mum had an amazing friend who had a spectacular collection of Blue Mountain pottery. He husband had a wall of glass shelves and lights for her to display it during her life.
My mum was heart broken to hear after she passed away that one of her sons trashed the lot.
Please make sure your Petosi is never lost but passed to your niece.
I love how you have styled them together. It is perfect.
I have a book of Erte and his work is stunning. I actually found a second of the same book and bought it so I have two in case I ever want to rip out the pages from one and frame them.
I was just watching this video and I saw how on the bottom of your Bitossi it said Rosenthal Netter and I had just recently picked up a beautiful ceramic curved lidded box that said Italy and it was numbered and it said Rosenthal Netter on a sticker….I really wasn’t familiar with Bitossi until I started watching your videos… but never occurred to me that it was a Bitossi……I just stopped the video right now to check out my piece …..IT IS….. I just bought it for $22 because I liked it…..I’m soooooooo excited! I own a Bitossi and I wouldn’t even know it if I hadn’t watched your video! Thank you so much! PS. My name is Laura too……lol.
I JUST MISSED a gorgeous blue Rosenthal Netter (Bitossi) vase at my local hospice shop one day. It was in someone else’s cart & I think she, too, knew what it was. I was so sad.
Noooo the bitossi pottery altogether, the way you have it is BEEOOOOOOTIFUL o my gosh!!!!!!!! what finds in this episode, holeee!!!!!! crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Loooove the intro. the whole video is brilliant and yes i watch the older ones all the time absolutely delightful beautiful beautiful
I always, always look forward to your latest thrifting videos!
Beautiful items❣️
I'm so happy for you. It's not 3:55 my style, but I know how it feels when you find something rare that you collect and love. It's an adrenaline high. 😊
I love the Bitossi display!
Oh my goodness Laura, congratulations on some truly awesome and stunning finds. What a haul!!!❤
I love all the Bitossi together!
The Bitossi gods are with you
Thanks for a fun and so interesting video! You are amazing!!!
