Giant Thrift Store Antique & Vintage Hunt | Everyone Wins!
This thrift store is spoiling us all with a bounty of antique and vintage finds our collectors are going to love! We're with Jocelyn @CrazyLampLady , Kate @Followthatbugvintage and Jacob @BernerBrotherAntiques , and we're having a friendly challenge of who can find the most (and the best) cool old stuff as we comb the shelves of Kettering, Ohio's Valley Thrift Store.
This might be the biggest thrift store on the planet, easily the size of a large grocery store and filled with aisles and racks of goodies. We each take an aisle and see who can pull out the best stuff...I find a Boy Scout bronze plate, a deco lampshade and a fondue pot on my aisle, while the others discover character glasses, a brass magazine rack, studio pottery and glass and a host of other fun things our collectors will enjoy seeing in our shops and online.
This place goes on and on, and we find some very special hats, Larry Laslo dinnerware, Cambridge glass, silk ties, MCM coffee sets...and at the last minute, a counter full of jewelry that makes me suddenly the big spender for the day (yes, some thrift stores still jewelry, and yes that is18 karat gold!). We shop, show and tell, and have a terrific time playing together in this huge emporium where the prices are good and the shopping is great! I wish all the thrifts I encounter were this much fun...

George, you may not have won a race yhere but you're ALWAYS #1 in my book!
George, that blue plastic wine glass, I think you’re supposed to stick it into the lawn….or better the beach, on a picnic 🧺
Thank you, George! You bring so much joy to people, and we appreciate you!❤❤❤

The green silk tie is beautiful. I think it would look great with a modern suit. ❣️
George, you crack me up. “Most collector plates can be used for skeet shooting targets” 😅😂
The vintage pink light cover..Amazon or EBay sells replacement chain kits for those. I’ve put one in my bedroom and love it.

Yay I just became a big fan of Jacob and Kate ~ great to see them ❣Blessings to you George and all 😻
The Cameo was a excellent score. Absolutely beautiful. I'm glad you purchased the tie with the Disney characters too. If i saw it I would buy too ❤
Whip it, whip it good! 😂😂😂😂
I think you won for most spectacular item. That cameo is stunning! You mentioned the cat is marked "JJ". Who is that? Oh, my gosh, the Thermoses. I rode my bike to elementary school in the '60s and we took our lunch. I was forever breaking the glass liner. My mom would get furious with me. 😂 I'm always thrilled when I see a thumbnail of you, George, because I know I'm going to learn so much. 😊

Thank you! I was pleased with the cameo and I would've liked that music cabinet if it had been priced. The black/white really was a good design, more mod than your usual taste but it worked somehow I thought!

@@TheAntiqueNomad That cameo, to me, was _the_ find. You might could've asked if the music cabinet was for sale. A price tag could have been removed from it, by another shopper...or shopper's child. Yeah, the black & white was much more mod than what I would usually go for, but the bamboo pattern, somehow, creates a sort of "bridge-link" between traditional and modern designs. Bamboo designs have the quality of being able to do that. It's like the Victorian pickled bamboo...it will work quite well in a modern setting.
I love your videos, and I always get excited to see Jocelyn there. 😊 She’s my all time favorite picker. And you’re my all time favorite antiques expert. ❤❤
That was fun! I saw Jacob's and Jocelyn's videos too.
When I had a Covid for a week a couple years ago, Lamp lady played in the background for most of my sickness duration. It was the right combo of relaxing and entertaining at the time but I must say I wish the algorthym gods pointed me to your channel George. It wouldve been a welcomed edition 😂
I’m Glad you got the cameo and I’m glad Jocelyn got the blue dog letter holder. Both well Rescued from the goodwill. 🎉🎉
Whoa, that Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass record was a blast from my past! My mom & dad had that in their fav LP stash on top of the cabinet stereo in our living room. Oops, did i just reveal my age 🤗
George, I always enjoy your videos so much, and continually learn from you! It’s great to see you in our area! I’ve been to this store 2-3 times in my life, and only live about 15 minutes from it! After I saw your video, my son and I went over, and found a few really nice things, even though we’re not, but SHOULD be, resellers!! Thanks again!!
What fun to see everyone together at a Goodwill. That looked like a great store. Please Stay Safe Happy and Healthy Have A Wonderful Day
That cameo was just lovely!

Hola Amigo, como estás Jorge? I enjoyed this video, cool to see you have fun with your friends 😊 This place is so big, you were not kiding. 👍 Another place to go when in Ohio.
Beautiful music cabinet!
George, somtimes when I'm shopping in the local goodwill or savers, I'll put a random item in the unattended shoppers cart. It's quirky and interesting to see if they buy it.😁

That pretty lamp shade, I’d try to find some sort of base to hold it , a round black metal wire type . You could put artificial flowers in it . Or how about pouring a candle in it ? That’s if that glass could stand heat from a flame .

I love the vintage glass ceiling shades. Lived in a pre civil war farm house and we had them in every rm. Wish i had a use for them now I would collect them! I did once see in a home magazine where the had mounted them to a wall, like a whole wall full. That colorful snake was eyecatching. Might have brought notice to your booth stands from afar. 😊.

I've seen this from Jocelyn and Jacob's POVs already. 03:45 Sit the lampshade in a brass holder. Add candle? One of those ball candles would work perfectly. 20:44 The pointy-bottom glasses are for use outdoors. You just stick them into the ground to hold them up. 28:34 I have that JJ pin somewhere! My local Ill Will stores don't put out any jewelry at all any more. As for filling a cart, you're lucky to NEED a cart.
Wow, that's a great deal on the cameo.

Just asked Siri to confirm my memory - The original Wynn Schuler's Restaurant was established in Marshall, MI...the building has now been razed ... that crock held cheese, if I remember correctly, with, as you said, a wire handle ... I have a nice memory of driving there with my uncle to meet my dad there ... I live in A2 and my dad lived in Chicago, so we three met halfway! Nice memory!

Win Schulers is in Marshall, not Battlecreek. I live in Marshall.
Wow, very cool place. Every year, I take my PTO time for vacay and include sourcing of some sort. This year was Peaches to Beaches. Last year was in MI. Year before was Flea Across Florida. Next year, I may have to go to Ohio and check that place out! (Though being a Michigan Wolverine, the thought of going to Ohio for anything makes me shudder! LOL). Bill Knapps was also a classic old restaurant that was in Battle Creek. They went out of business quite a while ago, but sold rights to some bakery items to be sold in stores yet. Every once in a while I see some old piece of memorabilia from that place. Great video.
