Road Trip: El Cajon, California! Join the Journey on Picker Road

On this episode we hit the road to visit El Cajon, California. Just outside of San Diego, this fun little town had some great thrift stores and lots to look at. We're also very close to the border so we stopped in for some delicious rolled tacos!

    The clear crystal pieces with circle/hole in middle are ash trays. You put your cigarette in the hole until flame is snuffed out. That prevents burnt odor you get when you'd otherwise smash cigarette out. They are very desirable to smokers and a bit difficult to find.

Going to check out the Quality Thrift shop, had some interesting items. I always learn something from your videos. Until next time, keep picking!

But, you did have your two big guys with you.😉 Many nice Thrift Shops, and Goodwills around our beautiful City. That little Shop had some unique pieces. Not anything you'd expect. Cathleen

This reminds me of back home antiquing with my father ...Great family hold 'Picker Road' ♥️ I was wondering if that first dish you left behind because of it not having a mark... The very old pieces are not marked until a certain time . Sending all the good vibes and wishing you the best of luckon your well-deserved success. Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪 Claudia

    I know and understand the why but it always is interesting that at one point, the comment is that an object is way too light and later the object is way too heavy. Perspective is everything.

    So true. I have learned a great about the “feel” of good glass from Danni “The Niche Lady”. That’s why I comment when a piece of glass is too light to be of high quality. Many times when I comment that something is very heavy it is in reference to shipping. I am always trying to authentically describe to the viewer what I am handling. Thank you for watching!

    I love the color of your sweatshirt, Harlene. It is the same color as my boho living room😊 Can’t wait to watch now! Edit- I just realize you were in El Cajon. My son is the supervisor of the El Cajon police dept dispatch. He & his family live in Lakeside, which I will be traveling to this Saturday for a couple weeks. I get to visit that area (I’m in Portland, OR) at least 4 times a year. It’s such a beautiful place!

    The decanter with the bowling guy on it looks like slag glass and they was going for a little bit of money. The last time I looked them up. I think they had liquor in them at one time but then pacific ones went for a little bit of money because they were slag glass.
