Thank you! Too many of us don’t consider others enough 😏

I once found 382.00 in a pair of pants pocket. I worked as a Bank teller ; after a while I was able to tell money 💵 just by touch !!! I was so excited, I looked around to see if it was some kind of prankster setting people up ,but there was NO ONE around. The store was basically empty. I didn't waste it ,used it for bills, food and gas .

The little Lane cedar chest was a promotion given to female high school graduates from the local furniture company. Promoting purchase of your "Hope Chest." Came with a key. I received mine in 1976.

I've found jewelry inside jewelry boxes.

When you walked out empty handed, first thought was the two subscribers grabbed the good stuff already. ;)

You could also find a decorative box that is missing its lid and use the pewter frame as the top to make a fun kleenex box cover. Or make a box to fit.

The first time I ever went thrifting, back in 1984, I found $45 in a pants pocket. And my finds that day rang up at $43!

I found a bunch of crisp $2 bills in a vintage purse at the thrift about a decade ago. Super lucky find!

Love you and enjoyed everything you Selected with your treasures. You have amazing taste and I learned a lot. Wish you the best.

3.01 am here in the UK and I’m wide awake, I love I’m here for this, I adore your channel ❤

I found $200 in a DVD case at the bins. $5 inside of a pair of jeans. Four $2 bills inside of a wedding card from the 90s that was never opened, etc... A friend of mine found $803 at the bins in an old book that had been hollowed out for a hiding place. And I seen a guy at the bins find $2000 folded up inside of a hat. But I go to the bins 3 days a week so you are bound to find money eventually.

I found a $100 banknote, (Australian) in a old record, about 27 years ago. They were just released about then. The pewter frame would be nice as a light switch cover too.😉🤗🇦🇺🏖

The handmade red plaid coat is amazing and the suede elbows are patches, not pads. Became popular because they protected fine wool sweaters elbows, which are quick to wear out or develop holes with lots of wear. They became sexy I guess when college professors began to sport them. 🙂

I did hear about a person who bought an old teddy bear at the Goodwill and discovered that someone had hidden a bunch of cash in it!

Great finds! My daughter found five hundred dollar’s in a pocket of a jacket. But it was from a jacket her employer had given her about a year past so she gave it back to her.

I love when pottery has a “grungy” looking bottom; it usually means it’s vintage.

My sister in law found diamonds in a bag full of costume jewelry. 💎 💎 💎😲

That nautical themed, black topped, teal colored with nautilus shells stenciled, in white we bought at Vancouver Retails.

So I'm watching you (with my earbuds in) pick up the vase, and I'm like (outloud) "That is a fabulous vase," you put it in the cart and I'm like (outloud) "Yes! We're taking it home!"

I don't know if you know the history of that Lane cedar box you looked at in the ReTails Store. In the 60s and 70s, and maybe even longer, the Lane company provided all the senior girls in high school with these boxes through the local furniture store. It was an incentive to remind the girls, they should be buying a Lane Hope Chest for their future marriage! LOL! Still have mine from suburban Chicago, oh, and I married my high school sweetheart 44 years ago!

I film estate sales and it's impossible to get footage with no one in it when there can be over 100 people inside at the same time. You don't need consent to film. In public spaces you actually have every right to film even if someone tells you not to. I actually strap a GoPro to my chest for my own safety when I go to a sell because I'm typically first in line and sometimes there is someone behind me that gets irate because I was first and snagged the tag off of an item before they could get to it. I had someone come into an estate sale literally screaming because she tried to pay even though I had the tag already in my hand. We had to get the people running the estate sale to tell her that it's not theirs because I was first to grab the tag. People can be ruthless, and it has almost caused a fight several times. I should count the stories in one of my videos.

We still do not have the same kind of goodwill or thrift store you go to.I still enjoy watching your videos. Your sister is so lucky to have you doing over her bedroom

Cant wait to see your sisters make over. Great video Laura

Lol. I love you and watching your videos. So pleasant. I share your videos with my daughter.

I found a $20, $10, and once I was at the bins and found a pocketful of gold and diamond rings in a back pants pocket! I heard the little noise when I picked up the pants and when I reached my hand in and pulled out the pile of gold I was floored!

Love your red plaid Oregon Lumberjayne jacket! Excited to see more short videos dropping. Will be nice to see your sister's makeover.

I have a Lane Cedar chest just like the one you saw. I got it from my BIL when he worked at McMahan's furniture store in CA in the 60's. I was surprised at the $1.99 price tag

Yes, I have. Found ¥70,000 (about $700) in a cabinet back when thrifting wasn’t that big in the Philippines yet. It was bonkers, I couldn’t believe it!

Oh, that teak tray is such a good find

My friend Karen was always buying purses at the thrift store, and switched purses up all the time. She had bought a pink and gray mini-size backpack and had tucked her credit card into one of its many little zipper pockets after a purchase, and wanted to return the card to her wallet. She was sitting in the car with a stunned look on her face, she looked so taken aback I asked if she was feeling okay. Oh, no. She'd just discovered in one of the backpack's pockets, THREE ONE HUNDRED DOLLAR BILLS AND A CANADIAN TEN!!! That's what I get for never buying purses... ha

I went to an auction with my dad when I was little. He bought a random box of junk, emptied it into the trunk and then threw the box to a pile of other boxes for people to use. He heard a rattle when he threw it. He almost ignored it...but he went to check it out and it was a Black Hills Gold ring! I still have it. :)

Tq Laura for showing us how to pick up beautiful pcs And the thrill of seeing the price of 1.99! The excitement never stops🫠

Guess what I bought today? A Don Freedman! It is round with a woman standing before a palm tree. She is holding a strand of pearls and has another strand in her hair. I haven't been able to find one exactly like it, but the price was worth the search. And I didn't even know about them until I heard you talking about them in your studio! The colors are sort of pale pink and grey - perfect for my bedroom - and the palm tree will be great when I move to Florida! I am very excited.
