The colors from the 70’s is definitely making a come back. Who would have ever thought the orange and greens from that time would ever come back?! Everything old is new again.

Thank you! I try to make my videos the way I prefer to watch thrifting videos - minimized background noise, voice over, no music!

The London Bridge in Lake Havasu is authentic, including lampost that were made from cannons, post war use. Its definately a neat structure to admire. Often confused however, with the famous Tower Bridge, which is, of course, still standing in London. There have actually been three different London Bridges, as they have decayed and been replaced again, throughout history.

That little glass with the balls is Candlewick by Imperial. In Maine wgere I have a booth, people still collect them. Some of the old Readers Digest books have the most beautiful endpapers. My dollhouse club made shallow room boxes out of them, replacing the pages with a foamcore box; they were awesome!

If you can't tell the diff between knitting and crocheting a good thing to do would be to look at a book like the Reader's Digest Guide to Needlework. You will learn much needed expertise. Btw, skein is pronounced Skane.
