It’s a cup holder usually for outdoor use. You turn cup’s up side down generally they are the small thin style glass cup.

Kitten in the basket was the best. Laughed out loud very very adorable 😸

Leave the candleholder black. The contrast is great

Laura, I think the outfit you wore in today's episode is by far my most favorite thing I've ever seen you wear. You looked so posh & well put together. I adored it.

That bit of Jean Pierre's green eyes rising out of the basket was priceless. Watched it 4x!

Laura, I wanted to let you know that I try and let most of the ads run when I watch ur videos. Why you ask- because about a year ago ( pre COVID-19) , I wanted to plan an Italy trip and you were so sweet to answer my questions and make suggestions and references. The fact that you took the time to help me really touched my heart. I didn’t get to go but one day I will. Kindness goes a long way.. thanks girl!

I'm sad too! They are not defending their friendship (which would be human nature if they were still besties) on the written remark statements both have made. And the studio they were working towards a few months ago never came to fruition. They both just say they decided not to film together this year to focus more on their own channels...yet we've had videos every Friday of 2021 until last Friday. Makes me so sad...I hope I'm wrong. Laura & Selena I hope (if it's true) that you can mend your sweet friendship and learn and grow together! Sending you good vibes!

I really surprised myself at how sad I was not for us their fans but for their friendship😔

I still keep my guess at mail. Looks like a carier for a secretary to bring the mail to her/his boss

It's paper (or possible originally small cloth) napkins, but you put them in wrong. You fold the napkins into a triangle and hook a bunch of say five around each individual spoke so that the top of the triangle reaches the top of that spoke, and they curve outwards around each individual spoke. Look up vintage skirt napkin holder to get a visual reference as to how to fold them

Hi Laura. I would keep the candlestick black. Looks amazing in the corner near the clock. I think the holder looked great with the paper napkins. Thanks for your amazing channel.

If I’ve said it once, I said it a million times.... I find better deals at antique/vintage malls than my local GW. 👍🏾

the little rack is ABSOLUTELY a 45 holder- it’s designed exactly like the MCM ones for LPs

Love the earrings and the bun - a very sophisticated look on you today Laura :)

Definitely for 45's - many many years ago my friends older brother had one of these for his 45's!

Your outfit is spot on, you look like you are in a Seventeen mag from the sixties! Like something I could find on South Street back then! Believe me, I lived it, I'm 72. I rocked the suede vests, hot pants, suede boots, leather bag, and turtleneck sweater look, oh. and micro minnies. You're beautiful!

Not to jump right in but please tell us what is happening with Recycled Life?? No collaborating videos with Selina anymore, no store front?? You did so much work on it already? It makes me feel sad. You both are so fun together. You lift us up so much, and your fun loving laughter has really gotten a lot of us through these hard times. I understand you both have your own dreams but it's still sad. I hope that you both are still friends because that's the most important thing and maybe a change of heart!? 🤗 Ps Kittys in the basket perfect!! 😀

Leave the candle holder black but get smaller flameless candles with timers so they will come on same time everyday

Love that giant basket and the kitty cats are adorable. Loving your taste!

Oh My God Do Not Paint That Hanging Candleholder! Brass would be a sacrilege, first, and the finish being a bit distressed is totally gorgeous and appropriate for a second. It looks fantastic in that corner.

I love and can’t get over seeing you visit these goodwills that are so familiar to me! So much good stuff out there!

I love watching your videos! You always find the most amazing things!!

Laura, You have the best eye. I love when you find items in stores etc. and then you show how you use them in your home. I love your videos. Can’t wait some time to come out to the West Coast and get some baskets.

I just want to say I absolutely love your channel so much! I liked it before when you were with your friend but I love you solo so much better! I love seeing your hubby make surprise off camera appearances and the playful interactions between you two! Hope to see more of you both (you and Hubs) together in the future!!

I love going to Monticello's! So much to see. Thank you for taking us along.

Mail for sure. We had one when I was a kid! Sat on the hallway table.

I love your enthusiasm, your cool style and your education of so many thrift items....thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!

Man, when you were sorta hesitant about that wood pedestal bowl...I was yelling "take it!", lol. Good video. Thanks.

You always find amasing wood items I m a bit jealous. Love the ""fruitbowl"

Cool wine holder! My mom had the metal napkin holder when I was younger. It came with a set for drinkware/barware stuff. When my mom passed away, I gave away a lot of vintage things that I now wished that I kept, but I can't keep everything. I started my collection of pottery in the '70s. You have a great eye for vintage pottery.

Love the wine holder very much. Good haul. The places you went to had great item. Thanks for sharing.

I love the giant native American basket, and the hand ring holder and the coasters of the wine holder. Good finds! See you on your next!

Oh, that kilim bag was so beautiful and a pretty good deal! Also, thanks for sharing your finds and esthetic- I live somewhere in europe but your love of pottery has made me pay attention to pottery pieces while thrifting and I've actually found some amazing pieces like a lot of midcentury stuff or a Raku vase mare by a german potter worth at least 100$. Wouldn't even have looked if it weren't for your videos so thank you!

I am really enjoying your weekly videos. I have learned so much.I think the paper napkins looked best in your brass holder.

It is definitely for mail. It goes on the table in the front hall, or on a desk. It's like a vertical inbox.

Morning Laura lovely to see you thrifting,it’s 7,o’clock here in uk sending much love Ann uk xxxx

Laura, super fun video...great finds...loved seeing your kitties in the big basket, so sweet!

I soooo look forward to your videos. They have it all shopping, vintage, cool tips, awesome cat and hubby cameos. Aww can't forget the music. You are my favorite on You Tube 💛

Defo for 45s as I had one too. OMG cuteness overload when the cat popped up in the basket! Keep the candle holder black for sure. Thank you for these thrifting videos Laura - loving them!

I definitely ask about items behind the counter at antique stores!!! I think your stand worked best with the records. ☺️ Great shopping as always. ❤️

I love what you find today. Keep the black color of the candle holder. The wine holder is the holy grail.

I like it for mail. 😉

Love your style! Clothes, decor and furniture!! 💗

I have that exact brass stand, gift from my Aunt and I have my bangle bracelets on it. It looks so cute with jewelry on it.🙂

I love all your finds, especially the wine bottle holder, fancy. Love your cat. So cute in your new basket. I recently used beeswax on some of my cabinetry and furniture it really does make a difference on wood.

I would probably use that little gold holder for my masks. Right now I have mine in a vintage napkin holder. But I do think it looks cute with the 45s in it!

I'm on my break at work and hit play as soon as I see your post. Then have to pause cuz I only have 15 minutes. Cant wait to get off work to watch the rest. (Will probably rewind to watch it all over from the beginning!! LOL) Love your style!! Great finds

That antique mall was fabulous ‼️. Love your videos‼️

The Gold thing I believe is to hold records I had a large one just like it until I got too many records for it

Love that coat on you! What a fantastic huge stuffed fun store. Thank you for the tour.

Definitely the 45's👍

Laura, mineral oil is a very good thing to treat your wood pieces with keeps them from drying out. I have many antique wood bowls and at least once a year I treat them to mineral oil to keep them from drying out they look beautiful! Just a tip for you.

That wood hand was fabulous.

This was a great episode! I really had fun watching it - thanks Laura!

Beautiful treasures, I love all the wonderful antic stores you visit. Beanies look fabulous on you. 💐🐣🐇

You're so lucky! Really! I'm happy for you ❤️❤️❤️. Keep up your awesome vids. You are spreading so much joy! Thank you for it! 💐💐💐

One of your best episodes!! Love when u find scores!!!

I say holder for 45's- I had something very similar when I was a kid next to my 'bouncy horse' and record player- I'm old 😉 What distracted me the most though was when you mentioned Lebanese food! I grew up on it- please share when you go back and get to eat there! 🌻

The last part of the video was so shocking and funny at the same time 🤯😂 I never imagined that someone might not know what that is 😂 I also looked at the comments (to see 800+ people are telling you what’s that 😅) and I only saw ONE correct comment. So shocked. Anyway, it's a cup holder/carrier, usually for outdoor use. I was born in 74 and this was something very common for almost-daily use in my childhood. EVERY household had this, specifically the plastic one, to carry the cups to backyards or picnics, or even to the table (instead of using tray). It has six sticks to hold a set of cups, and those little globes on the top of the sticks prevents the cups from scratching. All of them (any size, any material) had the same design.

So happy your channel popped up as a recommendation. I now am excited to go back to thrift stores with a much more discerning eye. 😳❤

🍃Laura🍃 I cannot express how much I adore your thrifting finds. Your taste in the mid-century items is second to none. Oh my goodness...you are so interesting and a complete ✨joy✨to view and learn from. Thank you so much for sharing your adventures. 👍🏻👏🏻 🙋🏼🇨🇦

Love this color on you!earings I love! I& I have been looking for a hand wine holder! Wow

Love the hand bottle holder, that's beautiful an the wooden bowl love it too. Such great pieces you find Laura l wish there was things here in Australia like that. Very hard to spot here🙄but still love to watch your channel your really inspiring make me want to go thrift shopping straight away😀🛍️Enjoy the rest of the week. Stay safe. 🛍️😘❤️

Great video, had fun tagging along with you. You're such a happy person, much success is coming your way.

Love the cat in the basket shot! Lol!

I think the brass rack is used to carry small juice glasses (place upside down on peg) to the table.

Thank you for sharing how you wash your vintage hats. I’m definitely going to try that 😊 I think that gold item at the end fits the napkins the best but mail does look great in it too. 👍🏼

I really enjoyed this video! You certainly have wonderful places to go thrifting/antiquing! I think the brass caddy is a napkin holder. Holders for 45 RPM records usually had slats to hold the individual record, as those made for the 33 1/3 records.

Very very cool stuff!!! 😎 I love wood objects too! I have found myself collecting hand carved animals especially! I just thrifted a small camel with a leather saddle from India for 50 cents!❤

Loved your hair in the bun and loved “going shopping” with you. 😍👍🏻

Hey Laura, fyi, the vase arrived in perfect condition today, great packing... I love it, thank you so much~♡~ by the way I do take the boxes and wrappings etc to our local antique store. They are soooo appreciative. I thought the gold small rack might be for "rinsed" pony beer bottles to let dry so you can collect your 5 cents at return😄 than thought too, small glass baby bottles drying rack, records or mail seemed more like it. Thought the toast was a possible option... but definitely a good catch when they popped up. Thanks again, take it easy~♡~

Displays in the antique mall are amazing!

Really cool stuff & the prices seem reasonable, I'd leave the candle holder black. Your area has the best items & better quality. Thanks for a great video. Lots of goodies🎆

I would use the brass holder to hold cookbooks open while cooking.

I love your videos. You have so many Goodwills and vintage stores around you The stores are so organized and nicely staged I believe the mystery item is a 2 slot letter/mail holder (saw something similar on eBay ,even had the coiled handle) Take care 🇨🇦 ❤️

I loved shopping with you!!!!! And your music is great!!!! Thanks..!!!!!

I’m really enjoying your videos!! I’m not into MCM but your finds are so unique and you have such a great eye for style!

Fun seeing your cat taking over the new basket! Mine used to do that and at Christmas I would give them shirt boxes with lots of tissue paper that they would hide in!❤️

Love love love 💗 your videos! Your decor and style are amazing ! I love how you incorporate live plants into your home decor. I was wondering if you could add into, one of your videos ,a bit about how you propagate from existing plants? Thanks! 🤗

My parents had a big brass rack with the coil thingy on top but it was divided with a wooden handle in the middle, for records but I think what you have is for mail on an entry table to keep it neat and tidy for when the Mr gets home! lol

Actually, I love the candle holder "as is"...I'm always partial to aged...

Love the hand wine rack and the little hand that you want to display jewelry, maybe you can just display by itself. Thank you for sharing Shalom

I love going along with you on your treasure hunts, Laura. I live in the Portland area so it's especially meaningful to me. BTW awhile back I donated the basket to the right of your new basket at 8:35 . Funny if it was once mine! Keep up the good work

I do love 💕💕 all of your finds! Also, you may not be old enough to remember that napkins used to be much larger than they are now, so yesterday's napkin would have fit perfectly.😘

Your tips are great ,I look up and find some great items love watching you thrift🐨🐨🐨🦘🦘🦘🥰

Great finds! I'd leave the candle holder black. It looks good there.

It's a napkin holder from the 1960's. We had one when i was a kid. It looks like the prongs have been squeezed together a little bit. I used to play with ours and squeeze the prongs too lol. The handle is for moving from the table to the countertop or wherever napkins were kept when not in use.

Those were different my dear. They had more sticks to create a wall-like effect to keep the napkins. This is a cup holder. Six sticks to hold a complete set of cups.

Fun video Laura!!! Napkin holder!!

I think you do a great choice with music choices in the background. Always enjoy your videos

I believe it’s for when you get mail you bring it in and just put it in it..but I also believe it’s for napkins..my top two.

It might be TV guides from back in the day. Thank you always enjoy your videos

My grandmother used to have that carrier on her desk. It held her bills/ mail.

Last item was definitely for mail, my grandmother had one, (in the late 60’s and 70’s) she always put everybody’s mail to pick up, bills to pay, postcards etc.

Love your groovy jacket, and I think the candle holder looks great black.
