I once picked up a cigar box of vintage costume jewelry at Canton for $5. Amongst the pieces was what seemed to me a nice solitaire diamond ring. Real? I took it to a jeweler to confirm my suspicions. It turned out to be a 3 1/4 carat diamond. Need I say it was fabulous? My son had it reset for his bride when he married.

Oh how funny!!! They are so cute! Little world travelers 😂 Thank you for supporting my dream/shop ❤️

I live 30 minutes from Canton and look at that gold squash blossom necklace every time I go, which is pretty much every month. The gentleman even let me try it on once. My dream to own that piece.

I grew up in east Texas and always going to first Monday trades days. When I got married that’s where my family took me for cast iron and kitchen stuff. 12 years later and those items are still used in my kitchen daily. I came across this video by chance and it makes me miss home so much! Currently in Arizona. Definitely loving this video!

I’m Romanian. I liked the book you found about Romanian folk art. A lot of the weaving art carpets /tapestry was hung on walls to keep a room warm and for decorations too. Since homes were heated by a terracotta wood heaters. My mom still has vintage weaved tapestry (the colors are still bright and vibrant) hanging in her bedroom. And she lives here in the USA.

Delighted you enjoyed our state; come again! I’m a Senior Citizen and have been going to Canton since I was a child. My grandma and I would drive over on First Monday to get baby chicks for the farm. In those early days, it was just an open field with folks selling whatever out of the back of their farm trucks. Now, it’s almost overwhelming.

Dark purple glass is Amethyst glass. The old lighter purple glass may be Sun Glass, which started out as clear glass, but the sun "damaged" the glass changing it a lavender color. Purple is usually the most collectable out of colored glass (just based on color) other than uranium glass. There are a lot of reproductions out there.

@Rebecca Davis Dark purple glass is usually not usually old glass. The best way you can tell old glass from newer is if the glass has a seam. The more pronounced the seam, the newer the glass probably is. With blown glass it's a little harder to tell new from old, but if it's a bottle you can usually tell just based on the imperfections or the neck of the bottle.

That was a black swallow tail butterfly. They are the state butterfly of Oklahoma, and we’ve raised a few of them when we saw one laying eggs on our parsley.

Yes! I raise them each year in San Antonio, as the momma butterflies always find my dill and parsley. The caterpillars are beautiful, too and love to pupate in grapevine.

I had that woven purse in the late 70’s, my mom lined it in a Thai batik for me. Loved it.

Great flea market Laura. We don't have anything like that in Australia. Having lived in Japan for 17 years I immediately identified the owls as Japanese and was pleased you recognised their quality and bought them.

What a flea market! And I honestly had no idea my Peter Gabriel vinyl was so valuable at this point!

Your videos are just so relaxing and interesting! You have an awesome personality - you are a joy to watch - I think I ve binged like 15 of your videos since yesterday when I discovered them. I am from Romania and it was awesome to see the book you found.

That "spinner" lol, was a necktie holder. :-) I want to go to that flea market so baaad. What an amazing jewelry haul. Keep having fun!!

This is the best channel so far, you are my kindred spirit in thrifting. I love what you do and having a husband / partner sharing your likes just tops it off! Thanks, I've learned so much and given away so much of what you collect from my Mom and Grandmother. I love the memories it all brings too!

The only thing that I hated about this video…… WAS WHEN IT WAS OVER….😭😭😭 Man, this for me would be like being in HEAVEN 🥰 Thank you for shearing ❤️🙏❤️ Love from Iceland 🇮🇸 ❤️🦋🦋🦋

YES!!! I worked in a gold jewelry store in a flea market in the late 90s when gold was affordable and when a new store opened up, other owners would complain but the store owners I worked for would be happy. When I asked why, they said, we have great price per gram and the more stores here, the better because it will bring more customers and even if we have to drop our prices for gold per gram, we'll have more people shopping here to sell to and make more money in the end even if we make less profit per sale.

Please get some larger size rings for your shop. 🥰🥰🥰

I try! Always looking but they’re harder to find. Just picked up a beautiful one today in Southern California that will be coming to the March 4th sale 😄

I once bought an antique piano stool at the Canton sale. I put it in the trunk of my car and when I got home the stool was in pieces, the round seat was the only part that was intact.

Welcome to Texas, I was born and raised in Texas and I love it❤️

That romanian weaving book is such a good score that we actually don't find here in Romania.

Peter Gabriel “So” is literally one of the best albums ever. What a great find! I’m going go dig mine out!

I’m so glad I found this! I moved from Texas to North Carolina five years ago and I miss Canton so much!

girl when you found them leather wallets I was like Yes! she was looking for that!!! lol I'm invested.

I’m sooo jealous..watching McKenna and her mom go all the time makes me want to move to Texas!l.I’d be in heaven with all the thrifting..and I’d have to bring a truck for sure.I’m in NC ,,if I get there I may not come back hehe.lHappy shopping.lcant wait to see what u find.l

DEAR LORD I HOPE JESSE DIDN'T LEAVE IS NEEEEWWWW ALBUM IN THE SUN !!! LOVING YOUR VIDEOS !

THAT WOOD WARDROBE 😳😳😳 $100 -- that needs to be mine !!!

As a little girl I went to Canton with my grandmother and mother … I remember the sand was so hot that it burned my feet … though my Keds tennis shoes. My grandmother made a mad hatter’s hat out of a big brown grocery bag. 😝

My grandparents started taking me there 45 years ago. It's always awesome & there are cute cottages & cabins to rent around Canton because you can't see it all even in 2 days.

I'm gonna be broke before I get through the first building! Girl, I know the feeling! Loved your finds! Planning a future trip!

This used to be called the Dog Sale many years ago. It's where people from all over the area would bring their hunting dogs to sell. Our family still calls it the Dog Sale.

I've had a poster of the lady with lilies since the 80s. The lady rumored to be Frieda. Also have one painted on tin from Mexico. I have that Peter Gabriel album. Really good. You could fill your shop & sell it all! That weaving book!

That floral round needlework is absolutely stunning!!!! Love the green woven basket too and for $10 that’s a great price. The wooden owl 🦉 & black owl statues are all so cute ☺️ I love owls!

I live in small town Overton Tx, abt an hour and half from Canton and I saw more on this video than I ever have going. I catch myself going thru the covered buildings and by the time I get to the outdoors, I'm tired and way too hot. Seems spring and fall bring lots of rainy first Mondays. Thank you for a fun look at Canton.

Hi, I live in East Tyler not far from Overton & like you I just get worn out in Overton, but I love to go. My boyfriends sister had a spot in the Pavilion, so we went several times last year to help her pack things up after the weekend. I did more shopping & looking around than helping. Canton really is fun but I don’t think I’ve ever gone thru all of it.

The purple glass could be magnesium glass. The longer the sunlight hits it the more purple it gets. They weren't kidding when they say everything in Texas is bigger. Those bumble bees look huge! Lol!

Loved that you came to Texas! Texas is not the place to look for mid-century. I lived in So. California most of my life and saw the most 1950’s - 1970 decor in Long Beach, Laguna Beach and Palm Springs. The garage sales are wonderful. Hollywood Bowl flea Market and Long Beach are the best for mid-century. I live near Round Top, TX and hardly ever see any mid century there. Best of luck to you. Been watching you for several years and love your style! ♥️

Laura I enjoyed watching you and your husband shop. You picked some really great pieces. But the hi light for me was seeing that wardrobe for $100 dollars. I have not seen one of those since I was a young girl. My grandmother had one and me and my sister use to play hide and go seek. That was awesome. Thanks for the memories. It’s been 55 years since I remembered that

Laura, I just saw your video on Utube of the Canton trip. I live in Texas and only 1hr. away from there. We love going and one time was in a Tornado Warning and had to take shelter there in one of the Pavillions they have designated for these storms. It was heading straight toward us but turned right before it got to the Flea Market and hit the ground on I-20. On your next trip to Texas you need to put another town on your list. It's east of Canton and around an hour. And that's Gladewater, the whole downtown is anything but antique store's. At least it was before this inflation!! Gladewater Attractions We love to visit Gladewater, just a quick drive north of Tyler on U.S. Highway 271, and only 13 miles west of Longview on U.S. 80. It's a great place for exploring East Texas history, and is known for its large number of antique stores, antique malls, and festivals.

I can't believe you guys flew down there to shop for only one day. That made it more of a work day, but Laura you found some nice jewelry, and Jess found his record. Thanks for the video

Good way to keep cool, wet wash rag on your neck. Trick I learned on World's longest Yard Sale. People sold them. Always love your pickin adventures.

Get the u-haul trailer when you get there! You can pick all the way there and back! Do they still have the lemonade vendors? Oh yum! Thank so much for this adventure!! Love love love watching you! And yes Jesse would look so cute on that scooter!

I love Makenna! She has great flea market/antique videos too. This looked so fun!

I am so glad you were able to make it to Texas. I live in Tyler, about an hour from Canton & have visited there several times. I also like to go digging through stuff & usually will always find a little treasure. Enjoyed the video & was impressed with all the nice things you said about Canton & their fantastic First Monday Trades Weekend. Happy travels.

Oh my God girl, I'm still recovering from my shopping, lugging luggage trip in Mexico and you're making me check tickets already for a quick trip to Canton!! Really need to upgrade to a newer van : 0 )

I live in Texas and I have been to Canton, a few times. So. happy you came to visit. Sometimes it takes more than 2 days to go through that place and you still won't see everything. ❤❤❤

That knife block triggered a memory for me from when I was little. We had that same one only ours was painted with a rooster on the round shield area. It had a companion piece of a hamburger patty press, also painted with roosters and hung on the wall. (The memory is from the 50’s, but they may have been older than that)

Next time in Texas if you make it to the Austin area you should check out our large thrift shop. We buy from storage units exclusively no left over garage sale leftovers. We have been doing this for just over nine years in the small town of Lockhart and have grown to over 4,000 square foot shop. We are called “Upscale Resale” and are open everyday 10-6. We always have a large selection of very unusual items that you will never find in other mainstream thrift shops.

I've live here for almost 20 years.... I live seeing people discover First Monday! I've been too it plenty and stay away from town during it as much as I can (traffic) but I do enjoy seeing people discover our town and what it holds!! First Monday is pretty incredible

I can't wait to go to the flea market again when the weather is nice! This gave me Spring fever! LOL! Nice finds, as always! Thanks for taking us along!

You need to come back when it's cooler and not during covid. Been going there for 50 years.

Why am I up at 6am on a Saturday binge watching all your videos when I should be editing for my new KZread channel I just started!!! Your videos are so addictive! I used to go to the flee market here in California when I was a little girl and this video just made me wanna share that memory with my daughters. So thank you 🤎🤎

Hi!! Congratulations on your new channel!! ❤️❤️

My grandparents used to set up in canton every month for years. When I was a kid I would get to go with them in the summer months.

loved the music soundtrack! There was one song in there that I wished I could just get in there and strum my guitar and just play simple chords to the fiddle solos. This makes me want to go to Texas and buy me some turquoise and silver jewelry. I would have had to get one of those carts.

I can't get past the haunting face right in the middle of the $100 wardrobe at 36:11 !!! FREAKY !!!!

Great finds Laura, I just love this huge Texas antiques market - absolute gem! I love lots of items you are buying , my favourite so far are the brass deer, a wonderful round hand made cloth and the silver rings of course ... Beautiful. Peter Gabriel's album - what a treat too! Cannot wait for the next episode !

Hello from Texas, hope you enjoyed your stay! I love XO MaCenna! I have watched her videos for a while. Her TX home is not far from where I grew up, so enthusiastically I was SO into their renovation! I love thrifting in my State, but can’t wait to thrift elsewhere! Love, good, and safe vibes from SATX ✌🏼

What a fun trip Laura, can’t wait to see the other video! 😊❤️

“Eco Relics” in Jacksonville, Florida has an amazing selection of hardware from renovated and restored homes in Riverside. 😊

That's a great record Jesse. I grew up in Texas, but it was before all the huge flea markets were down there. In the early 80s, we would go to Round Top, because my stepfather would participate in their chili cook off. It was before the the flea market got so huge. Love watching you shop. Thanks.
