A Day of Estate Sale, Garage Sale & Thrift Shopping Deals!

I’m in Pinellas County, Florida and am selling so much at the Florida antique shows this season that I need a day to go thrifting myself! Curbdigger Carl and I hop in the van for an afternoon of freestyle thrifting, garage sale hunting and estate sale shopping, in search of things to enhance our customers’ collections…and maybe our own as well.
We warm up with a half-off estate sale, a cul-de-sac community sale and a garage sale, where we find a good amount of vintage and even some true antiques…Heywood Wakefield furniture, Royal Albert ware and 1950s kitchen & kitsch all vie for our consideration. We find a few things cheaply right off the bat, which whets our appetites for more!
Next stop is an amazing 1920s Florida home, with a bevy of cool things ranging from brass 1890s bells and mission oak furniture to a fine 1910s fire screen that has to go with me to my next show. There’s some pretty cool old things hanging in the trees too, as we introduce you to a crazy fern you won’t see elsewhere in the USA!
Then it’s on to Sheriff’s Youth Ranch Thrift Shop, where a viewer sends us to find 19th century English ironstone, a vibrant 1970s Haeger vase (just $3!) and a chrome deco-revival coffee table from around 1980 that is worth pulling the van up to load. All this great selection, in just a few stops…why bother with chain thrifts when you can find these sorts of deals here?
Our last stop takes us to a crazy last-minute estate sale, where the lack of lead time means some really good mid-century furniture is going begging! What can we do when there’s more great stuff at rock-bottom prices than we can fit in the van? Stay tuned!

    The long case clock may be a 18th-19th century Swedish piece. The clockmaker's name is certainly Swedish. The painted decoration is a characteristic feature of Scandinavian furniture from those centuries. A rather rare piece here in the US. At the right price it could be a great find.

I liked the Syracuse Maple Leaf dinnerware, but Salem China made a Maple Leaf pattern of which I'd really like to have a set. Some of the smaller bells interested me. I have a small bell that has a sterling silver cob of corn as the handle. Ambulance is about to leave hospital, so I'm off. Looks like it was fun shopping.

Your vast wealth of knowledge is very impressive. Now I'm a new subscriber. Also, I'm a native Floridian now living in Sebring. I love the area but the thrift store options leave a lot to be desired. It's fun to see what nearby areas have to offer.

But not much pops up when searching those criteria. Beautiful piece and I am sure a bargain price as I would think this clock is worth several thousand.

When my all boy cousins decided they wouldn't let me play baseball with me I had sat through many a boring conversations about what he was working on at work. Things like how he made a coffee pot keep the coffee voter for a longer time. Why couldn't I have had a cousin who was a girl.

    Once on spoon river scenic drive i was decribing the sattributes of a rocking chair to my cousin. I hzd heard its design on antiques road show. It had rabbit ears. I picked it up and carried to cashier. She said oh thats sold. I said how is it sold when im holding ot She said oh that lady just bought it. The lady was standing nearby listening to me describe it. Like? What? I wished her a broken toe when she tripped over it.
