I found a West Germany pottery vase for 5 euros, a fun pottery jar with ‘Afternoon delights’ inscribed on it and a couple possibly very valuable Harry Potter books for 2 euros each. Going back tomorrow.

Glad you enjoy 1st Monday Trades Day in Canton, TX. I live about 10 miles from the grounds and go almost every month except for the hottest months like July, August and September and we always start in the same open area by the Civic Center like you did. It is my husband's and myself favorite part of the flea market.

Love a slightly tipsy Laura.... Thanks for all the tips that were flowing...you're epic :) And Nancy as a substitute banter partner for when Jesse can't join you is fun too. Cant wait for the next Laura and Nancy in Canton instalment :)

The item you called a “stamp” is a meat tenderizer it’s wooden handle is missing. My mom used one like it all the time.

❤Thanks for taking us shopping! LOVE THE JENNY LIND SPINDLE BED! I grew up with the twin bed version, I used to lie in bed and turn-twist the the spindles, ever so gently, making them squeak, just to hear them. Hello to Nancy! Nancy, you are an all-in trouper! Thank you for your contribution and committment to bringing it all to the rest of us!

Laura sometimes get things wrong. But her knowledge is wide and impressive. Can't fault her for research.

Your video brought back some wonderful memories of going to Taxco and First Monday with my mom many years ago. We traveled a lot. We even drove a F-150 with stick shift from Mississippi to Alaska and back one summer. We never had reservations or schedules to keep. We camped mostly. I’m so grateful I got to have those experiences with her.

We were stationed in Germany from 72 to 96. I loved shopping the flea markets. I started as a teenager. It was so much fun. I have so many collections. Then later I took those bus tours of factories and have those collections. Now when we go shopping I love collecting European things. I also got a lot of old things from my grandmothers house and just shipped some of my mothers things to the states. My house is full. Lol.

Love the gold & silver bracelet Laura and would have loved to have seen your wedding ring with it!!

BTW, i loved your animated, wine induced giddiness! You're so cute.

PS I do like the color of the planter, and the abstract splatter...I like it as a neutral with a lot of heart and soul! Sometimes when something is out of your comfort zone, it seems weird until you try it out with other things that you are already used to. I call it EYE-STRETCHING, when I am taking in a new design or color combo or some off-beat proportional combo. The waterfall willow droopy curves are so fun on the bracket part! Whoever designed that and put it together had it going on, it is lucky that the pieces stayed together and un-altered

love your term "eye-stretching". I've bought a few items that you could call "eye stretching", brought it home, lived with it for awhile (put it in my home and just "lived with it"), and found that over time, I really grew to like it. I find it exciting that I can "grow my taste" in the fact that even at my age, I can learn to like something different than my "status quo".

"Junk drunk"!! Love it!

You guys should make traveling Jean jackets…make it a thing for you guys

love this idea!

For the planter, I would take an old pair of black leggings, put the planter in a leg to find the best fitting spot, and cut to fit with room to tuck over the planter edge. Then I'd line the inside with plastic and plant it up. This way, you get the look you want, and don't alter the original piece. Great finds all around in this video!

So much great jewelry! Canton is so much fun. We live about 50 miles from Canton.

You need to have the Texas applied to the center back of blue Jean jackets.

A fantastic video. Ya'll make great pickin' partners. Fantastic finds. You mentioned "heat lightening," there actually is no such thing. The lightening is from a far away storm that you cannot hear the thunder from. I'm a southern gal who grew up with the term, and didn't learn differently until more recent years. I used to sleep with my Grandmommie when we visited. She always had the window and curtains open in the summer. I used to lay there in bed watching what was referred to as "heat lightening" off in the distance until I dozed off. A sweet memory feeling secure and peaceful.

There are many types of lightning, and when googled you can find "heat lightning" also known as silent lightning. Lightning w/o visible clouds is referred to as heat lightning.

I’m happy to see you enjoying yourself with your friend! Is such a beautiful farm and all the beautiful animals!!

I love the planter as it is.

My grandparents starting taking me about 55 years ago. Love it. Hope you girls have a blast.

I grew up going there!!When i was a kid i would save months to go to First Monday to buy my rocks.I still have some!!My Dad would chomp on a 🦃 leg!!!

Loving the “Happy Hour Hall”!

I'm originally from Duluth, so the Fitgers bottle opener was a fun walk down memory lane. The Fitgers bottling plant was repurposed as a great boutique shopping "mall" with many unique shops when I was last in Duluth about 15 yrs (or more) ago. 😂

The wall brass planter would be dope as a bangle/bracelet jewelry holder and store the pot or sell it.

It's the law of attraction laura. You're sending messages into the universe and they respond. Ive had that happen to me quite a few time. Things I needed were right there in front of my nose😊❤❤❤

If one wanted to refinish furniture there is an abundance of pieces here it looks like. And omg…the turquoise jewelry! Fabulous.

You are simply delightful. When I feel blue, I look for you to help me up!

My wooden bed was made in 1898. I love it.

I loved how in the very beginning (your first vendor) said he was flexible on his prices...."I'm not married to any of this." I loved his attitude! I really enjoy your videos and am looking forward to part 2 of your Canton experience. As a side bar, the title of your video is "The World's Largest Flea Market/Canton Texas....haven't you heard? Everything's bigger in Texas! 😁😄😉

Someone probably already said in the vast comments, but the Bill & Lou Zuni earrings are by Bill & Lou Laweka. I had the exact same pair of clip-ons in coral. Congratulations! And fun trip with Nancy!

That beautiful planter is throwing out some Art Deco vibes! I love it!

That turquoise plate is gorgeous!!

The gold and silver bracelet has a the Tudor rose in the center. It’s also part of my logo Edgewater Rose Regalia ❤

Hi 😂 happy to see you in Canton, TX. I live 2 hours from there. If I thought we could meet up, I would drive there just to see you.....I love to watch your videos.....shout out to Beverly and Carolyn in Texas......

Well...That was fun !! Looking forward to next week 🤗❤

You two are so much fun together!

I Loved Everything about this Episode! It was Fabulous ❤

I think that sterling pendant was the Bear Kachina. I'm not sure, just learning about Kachinas, but it was an intriguingly storybook version, more Western fairy tale-ish I mean, not the more traditional Hopi rendering. Really such an interesting object! I think my favorite thing you found though was the green turquoise ring. SO beautiful. I'm much more partial to green turquoise than bright blue.

I just can’t begin ☺️ What a wonderful place, what wonderful finds, such beautiful, fancy pretties❤ I’m definitely in love and to think I had no idea Canton, Texas existed. That’s why I follow you 🥰

Beautifully kept animals at the Airbnb.

Hopefully you enjoyed your trip here! Come back anytime 😀

OMG I would lose my mind if I went to a market that big 😂

Awe I am jealous! I wanted to go there! My spouse would not stop. He knew it would be an all day event for me!

Last week when I commented on a stormy night in Texas and you said you were in Canton.....I hoped that you would find a nice place to stay and plenty of turquoise and silver....... and it looks like you did both!!......oh and you also met a Rhonda which is also my name!....lol

I went to the Canton flea market many years ago and bought a Bichon puppy. I wasn’t into shopping back then but I wish I could go back now and go junking!

Hello from Australia. Your flea market finds have re-ignited my passion for Op shopping. Love watching.

That black and white beaded necklace looks more like a hat band to me…use the slider to size to the crown of your cowboy hat.

Laura, you scored HUGE on the jewelry! Love pretty much everything you purchased from "Granny"!

15:15 I have that DeGrazia sun catcher ! I have quite a few of them actually. My former mother-in-law was a huge DeGrazia collector & I was blessed to be given part of her collection when she passed. ❤

Love picking up West Germany vases and I love my East German pottery I bought in East Berlin in 1986.

Laura, I love your new sliver and gold Bracelet💜💜💜

If you wanted to modify that pink vase while you use it, use acrylic paint. You can easily peel it off when you are ready to sell.

Seeing all that STUFF makes my heart go pitter patter! What FUN!!!!!!!!

Center the Texas “patch” on the back of a blue jean jacket!

What a beautiful backdrop at your AirBnB as you showed your haul, Laura. The colours are so restful. The colours - BLUE AND GREEN!

I just love to "go" picking with you! Your enthusiasm is contagious. Did you and Nancy meet when she came on one of your trip? A compatible travel friend is such a treat!

Hello, make sure you come the first weekend in October to Las Vegas. Go to Boulder City, Nv (1/2 hour drive). Boulder City has so many Antique/thrift shops plus this is also the weekend of Art in the Park (a craft/antique/art festival for free). This little town comes alive with festivities, people and thrifting. It’s a wonderful weekend. Bring a van to transport your new treasures!

Oh, additionally, I know you wouldn’t change the wall planter, but I loved the idea of the black matte paint. The current glaze is busy and takes away from the cool brass!

Oh!! This is between our house and my cousin’s. Next time we drive down we are meeting her here for a massive shop. Thx!

Wow….that is truly the mother load of flea markets! 💕

England has the best mudlarking.

Hi from Waco! Been trying to plan to go to Canton for a year or so now lol I’ll make it one day! Thanks for all the wonderful videos! I learn so much

Ya, its definitely the decision making that made you tired lol!❤ Cute finds! love the crosses❤

I think your brass wall would be beautiful if the pottery portion was cobalt blue. Not sure how you feel about altering the original, but brass and blue are gorgeous together. 😊

Your planter would look great with a string of pearls plant

Antiques and Great Pyrenees...this was definitely my favorite video !!! ❤️🐾🐾🐾

Pack away the pink planter piece, and use the metal part for hanging jewelry or belt. Put it all together again when you sell it!

My husband and I shopped Canton back in the day (1978)!! When we were young married college kids, looking for cheap, but substantial furniture. As I write this, I'm looking at an old trunk we refinished and have used as our coffee table ever since! Haven't been to Canton since that one and only year (78-79) we lived in TX, but I hear it's not the same "field" (no buildings) of very cheap antiques it once was.

It’s so funny. I am watching this and I’ve been to all these locations but I’m like oh that store is still there. Oh that store is still there. I’m so happy to watch this and enjoy your purchases vicariously.

I got a sister like that! She can find anything and everything!

I only live 30 minutes from there and go whenever my husband gives me permission! LOVE Canton Trade Days! I wish I knew you were headed there. Would have loved to say “hello” and point you to some fabulous vendors!

Woohoo was looking for something to watch perfect timing! 😊

You have such great adventures! Thank you for taking us all with you to Canton Flea Market. Loved that spool bed you saw, agree that price was fantastic. I am from East Coast, New England area (NH) so of course I love spooled beds. Great jewelry, I liked that elongated all sterling ring and of course the Italian gild and silver bracelet. Hope I see day 2!!!

I don't know about mudlarking is better in Portland than in London.😅

Those Texas souvenirs i would add felt to the back and hand sew it to make them more rigid for hanging on the Christmas tree 🤩

"It does have that formaldehyde smell" OMG I can't stop laughing and you know why.

You should paint the planter black, would be stunning with the brass!

Omg, that place is mahoosive, love it. We have a large vintage flea market near us (at the Bath and west show ground - which you guys should go to). But, this is something else.

At the 26:38 mark, those three bracelets look amazing together!!

I've been once years ago and I live in Texas. TEXAS IS THE PLACE TO BE!. MAKES WANT TO GO

Loved the video I saw the Jewelry and thought now Laura will be fine there you got some beautiful stuff every piece love it all 💗💗💗💗💗💗

Oh my gosh! Such beautiful jewelry & other goodies! Love me some Canton shopping but I haven’t been for a long time. I like going w/ you, I can take the heat & humidity easier!! (btw-I live in Houston, so Canton weather is nothing to us 🥴) I was thinking, that long strand of semi precious stones, they remind me of what we called “twist beads” in the 80’s. We’d take two or three different kinds of strands, twist them together & fasten into a chocker length necklace. So fun! 😊

What a fantastic market. It's huge! I would be so overwhelmed. Loved your haul, beautiful jewellery. Looks like you and Nancy had so much fun. Hope you saved some of that LC energy for day 2. Can't wait to see part 2.❤

Love seeing you back in Texas!!! 🤠

Iam asking hubby to take us there next time he has some time off that jewelry section had me all excited 😊❤ you guys did good day one can't wait to see day 2!! ❤

Laura, always love your postings. When you learn to do kintsugi, please consider filming your process. I have watched a few other people, but would be very interested to see how you do it. Cheers from Seattle, Atarah
