The jar, styled with wood around it, looked beautiful with the flowers-because the wood brought out the rich color in center of the flowers. Before you styled them I would’ve said no to the floral.

I am not a flowery girl but the yellow flowers did make that jar pop. My vote is to keep it the way it is. Awesome video.

As a potter, I must warn you about crazing. It is actually a 'break' in the glaze. If you put wet food, greasy food (i.e., dips) in the serving pieces, it will seep into the piece and stain. You need to be careful with crazed pieces The FABULOUS fabric window coverings are custom so yes, handmade, not "homemade". LOVE today's finds!! edit - I think the flowers on the pretty pedestal jar is a decal or transfer. If you scrub or use a chemical to remove it, it could damage the surface.

The flower side makes the arrangement of items appear organic. I think keeping the flowers on it whoever buys it can have more options to use it in different ways.

My only complaint today is that I am out of Laura videos to watch! You are my absolute guilty pleasure. Thank you for being you! You are my best friend out thrifting with me (in my mind) lol 💙

About 13 minutes in - Laura, I hope that the idea you released into the Universe, about the 1970's Mikasa Dahlia set, comes to fruition! You deserve to have your name out there as the incredible stylist that you are! Any TV or movie set would be lucky to tap your talents! I look forward to seeing your name in the credits! Then, I can tell everyone that, "Hey, I know that girl!" So, here I am, adding my positive energy to yours as your ideas seek their home amongst the ☆stars☆

Disillusionment warning : I once talked to a woman in a thrift store who was a “picker”/ “prop sourcer” for movies and tv , and I told her I thought that would be such a fun job. She said it is …except when you need to find 70s and all you find is 90s…😮. Maybe the way around that is to buy everything from every era!😁

Laura, you have opened my eyes in the ways that I style my home so much. I live at the beach and I love my very rustic coastal style decor. But you have totally shown me that I can mix other styles in and it looks amazing. Everything in my home is handed down or Thrifted except our mattresses. And if I didn’t thrift the piece I used Thrifted or found materials to build it myself. I never would have thought to pick up that little black dog but I love it and I have added pieces from mid-century to Victorian to modern here and there in my home yet still maintaining that rustic beach cottage look. We moved six months ago into our little forever home, and I just finished decorating it about three weeks ago. I took my time and used all the things that bring me joy. I will always be changing things out and enjoying new pieces and letting other pieces go to their new forever home. I cannot thank you enough for showing me how adding brass or other things I would never have thought to add to my decor, because I thought I didn’t like those type of things, but it makes my rustic wood stand out and seem even warmer somehow. A friend of mine , that I hadn’t seen in years ,and her daughter were vacationing in my area so they came by for a visit . Her daughter, who was four the last time I saw them is now a photographer and asked if she could photograph my home for a spread she has been thinking of putting together on California Coastal homes. I literally laughed out loud because I have seen the spreads that she does and they are not of homes full of Thrifted and handmade items. She said that is exactly why she wanted to photograph my home, because she has been wanting to do a piece on how to decorate beautifully without spending a fortune🤯🤭Everything is still in the planning stages but just being asked was so thrilling and such a huge compliment. This NEVER would have happened without you inspiring me to try something new 😁❤️

Hey Laura, I think you should keep the flowers on the apothecary jar. There is something special about keeping an object as is, even if it is not your aesthetic. Preserving an object so it can be enjoyed and admired by future owners who may love the flowers. You can enjoy it as a plain jar, just by turning it around like you did in your video.

I am not a flowery girl but the yellow flowers did make that jar pop. My vote is to keep it the way it is. It was washed out with the white wall. Awesome video.

The little wooden duck next to the wooden candle holder being left behind broke my heart 😢😢

The bar cart I believe is a tea trolley

I LOVE that you got that full green Mikasa set, even if it was pricey when it was all added up. You did the vintage community a service! If that was left at goodwill, a piece would have been picked up here and there and the entire set would have been separated and never reunited. Even if your profit isn't great, you did a wonderful job for the preservation of vintage so that it can be cherished as it should have been and eventually become an antique!

This series has been the best yet Laura! Way to go girl!!!

Quite surprised that I loved the flowers. They simply popped in a good way when you styled them up. Plus they are well executed!

I LOVE the colors on that 1970's Mikasa set! Earth tones RULED in that decade, so Avocado Green and Harvest Gold things abounded. SO fun!

I don't think they donated their collection. I think the kids did after they passed away. I had to donate some of my mom's things to the German recycling center after she passed. I could only afford to ship 2 shipping containers to the states. I am glad I took all the good stuff as all the glassware and dishes were thrown into boxes to be recycled. I still cried. I tried to give furniture away but everyone wanted the free stuff delivered and I had no car. I shipped all the vintage and antique things to the states.😢 still paying for it. Lol

Girl, I cannot say it enough; I ABSOLUTELY LOVE ❤YOUR STYLE!

In that setting with all the wood I like the flowers best

You would be an ideal picker for a television show and you have the most kind personality and grace to mingle your way up...said anyone that watched your channel 😊

I think the pitcher with the flowers on it it's rather German; with typical German flowers as edelweiss, gentian, cowslip and lady's slipper orchid. Flowers from the Alps, so it could be South German or possibly Austrian or Swiss. Greetings from Germany! ;)

Laura, you are so positive and full of joy! Pair that with your knowledge of vintage items, and you've made such a must see channel! I love this current series!

I like the jar without the flowers. It looks more high end, classier

Without the flowers, for sure!!! Makes it classy and timeless.

This series is amazing. Your videos are perfectly paced with stellar content balance. Your demeanour is positive and relaxing. Delightful! Wishing you continued success.

Love the jar with the flower side showing, however it is beautiful both ways.

5 minutes in, I say, "Yes, Yes, Yes!" to the flowers on the milk white pedestal container! They are lovely!

Hi Laura! "China painting" was a huge fad among American women in the late 19th / early 20th century. They bought porcelain blanks from Europe (such as the Limoges piece you found) and applied enamel decorations over the glaze. They fired them with little portable kilns :) Decorating porcelain was one of the few socially acceptable art forms for women. They began forming societies to sell and exhibit their work. Some copied designs from special publications but many women used porcelain as a canvas to produce original - and very beautiful- art works! Whenever I come across hand-painted porcelain in thrift stores, I always pause to appreciate it :)

Apothecary Jar: I love both. Depending on what you’re displaying it with, both ways would work. Just put the flower in the back when you don’t want to use it. 😊

You are by far the most creative stylist of the items you find. Now when I thrift, I look at items and think of the ways it can be styled up. You are an inspiration.

The curtain material would make gorgeous and easy to make pillow covers.

You found such great stuff again today. I like your filming pace, giving us a chance to really look with you. Your editing techniques are great too - The car commentary and clips of the items styled keep things interesting and varied. You're a pro.

Hi Laura, been having fun thrifting again. Thought you would enjoy a little chuckle. When I go through the glassware aisle, when I spot a couple of glasses that are super cute, I look to see if there are more that got separated and I join them together.

The Mikasa set is a great investment, especially since they're marked Ben Seibel. They're also BeAuTiFuL. :)

The pitcher at 26:10 could be Austrian, Bavarian or Swiss. The flowers are from the Alps (the Blue is Enzian, the white is Edelweiss, the orchid is called Frauenschuh) greetings from Austria

I have a vintage decanter that I fill with bubble bath ! Looks very pretty in my bathroom :)

Loving your outfit today, with the black and white shirt and coordinating earrings! Oh, and can’t forget the awesome hat! You always look great, but I especially like this one. 😊. As for the curtains, I think it would make a beautiful garment of some kind. A kimono jacket would have simple lines and would look nice with black pants or a skirt. Good luck if you decide to go for it!

Your Goodwill stores in the PNW have beautiful items that I don’t see in the Goodwill stores on the east coast. Awesome find on the Italian lamp, I was thrilled for you! Loving this series.

I am loving these Goodwill videos so much. Got really sick for several days and these helped lift my spirits during that time. Such great taste you have and beautiful finds.

I like the flowers showing on the jar

I love that fabric!! I say find the time to use it for a project.❤ I 'm a sewer and quilter.I liked the darker shade for the small white lamp.

flowers on the vase. leave them is my vote.

I enjoy watching you learn! I've been flea marketing and antiquing for over 40 years and have learned so much.

Love how your cat got right into your basket and wanted to play with the ribbon you were taking off! Love those cats! The basket was very sturdy, nice find. I agree with the previous comment that the curtains would make a nice kimono jacket for you. Love love love the antique bar cart you gave us a peak at! I want that! Lol but difficult to get to N.H. This GoodWill hunt of 55 stores will certainly boost your income! I cannot believe the great items you found today!

The pink rosebud vase looks like it would match perfectly with the Franciscan Dessert Rose dishes.

I am loving this series... Your outfit on this video is SSSOOOOOOO cute!!!!

I love the sunflowers!!

Darker shade for the calla lily lamp definitely! PS they are my favorite flower.

The white apothecary was very pretty, but please don't try to remove the daisies. If you don't want to see it just turn it around. The daisies are lovely and I would love it.

Make yourself a long vest using the gorgeous fabric - and a matching bag with cognac suede accents ❤

There must be a film industry association you could contact. Lots of films made in British Columbia. Set designers would love the Dahlia print Mikala. When I was in Montreal there was a vintage store where I bought some jewelry and the woman who owned it was a set designer and grabbed the vintage stuff they get rid of once the film is done. So much potential there!

Ok so I absolutely loved the opaque jar in white I thought it was stunning. When you turned it around and I saw the enamel flowers my heart fell No you can’t remove enamel but if it’s just hand painted you can. When you styled it just in its own glory no flowers I thought it was simply elegant but when you turned the flower side around I was shocked to discover it in all its glory. It made the vignette to be honest. It looks elegant , natural, and absolutely bounced of the screen. So yes Laura you made this minimalist non fussy glass obsessed girl fall in love with fussy flowers lol. Well done 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻. I am now team flowers😂

I love when you choose color! You definitely made the right call on the 4th piece of glass, it looked cheap.

Been to Granada as a UW student (go Dawgs) and its a magical place, known for incredible pottery and mosaics with a heavy influence from Morocco and the gypsy culture ("gitanos" are one of the oldest cultures in the world and are nomadic, but originated in the Basque region (border of Spain and France). Go to Gordoba! The entire city is built into the mountain with a beautiful Mosque made of stunning, hand-placed mosaics and you can even enjoy fondu in caves that overlook the palace, Ahambra. While I loved the pottery in Spain, the best I've found was Portugal 🇵🇹 ❤

Thank you, Laura for bringing us along on your Goodwill tour. This has been such an amazing and fun series to watch.

That apothecary jar is exactly why I love things with a design on only one side. I prefer the plain white myself. But someone else may prefer the flowers, or may want to enjoy both at different times. I would leave it as is and enjoy the versatility.That’s just my two cents worth.😊

Love it with the flowers 💐

I am LOVING this series! I've become an avid thrifter in the past year or so, and I've developed a great love of studio pottery. Today I found a gorgeous ikebana vase, the first one I've found in the wild. The cashier was very intrigued by it, so I got to tell her what I've learned about them.

with the flowers!🥰

I love the flowers on the candy jar.

If you decide to do a project, they would make great placemats and table runners. Imagine the possibilities! Beautiful brass vases and candles, serving ware to compliment the gold, and then the endless color combinations for the place settings and glassware!

Love the Mikasa plates. I would def use those every day🙂 The basket is Lorenzo approved😺

Wow! That lamp was a great find!

Loving your videos with hubby! You’re both very awesome and inspiring people.

Wow, another Laura visits Goodwill episode! Couldn't get here fast enough...what a wonderful haul! So thankful Jesse suggested this series!

I love seeing if I can spot what you're going to pick off the shelf. So fun.

Laura, all I can say about your impeccable buys in this episode is "So Cool!'. I'm enjoying every episode of this series, don't want it to end. I like the jar very much, both ways, with flowers and without. I really think the finish would be destroyed if you try to remove the flowers and they are pretty anyway. : )
