Hi George. I am a subscriber and have enjoyed this video more than words can say! I am 70, so I can appreciate all the vintage jewelry, mine as well as my mother's which I got being an only child! Thank you for the detailed history you gave of all the pieces. I have several pieces of Kenneth J. Lane's jewelry and love them. I also have a large collection of vintage parures of pins, necklaces and earrings, most of which are signed. These days, due to illness, I only go out when I visit my doctors so I don'w wear any of it anymore. I am a collector at heart and have SO much of everything...I also collect Lladro, Cloisonne, oh, I could go on forever naming all my collections. My husband says that if I die before he does he is going to sell everything at $1.00 each and at the end of the sale he will have become a millionaire! He thinks he is being funny, but he is really not far off...LOL! Keep up the good work and keep your magnificent videos coming.

Oh be still my heart all was wonderful but that was the best collection of Costume Jewelry I have every seen Thank you George you were a wonderful guide with excellent commentary.

You have such a fun show it’s interesting to look at but at the end you Realize you’ve learned so much you are very educational , your like a encyclopedia LOL

I have boxes and boxes of vintage costume jewelry. It's my passion!

Thank you for sharing. I just love to see all the old beauties.

I'm drawn to brooches , I would love to see then make a comeback

As I try to part with items collected over many decades, which is a sad part of retirement I now want to start over! Even if I can't acquire many more antiques, I can certainly follow your wanderings & drool! Thanks for taking me on these Fabulous Wanderings with You!

I didn't see any poppet beads in all that jewelry. 😄That's OK, I have my own right here in my home. I love the old brooches and ones I have a couple old ones, but nothing with stones. I look for the old metal ones in different colors, so I can pin one on my little Vera Bradley purses. I walked into a Vera Bradley store one day and all the girls working there went crazy because I had a lime green flower pin on my purse to bring out the colors. They were all saying they wanted to find some too. I also have my mother's leather autograph book from her high school and what a riot it is to read the autographs. I wish I were closer to you so you could look at some of my things. I actually do have poppet beads that I have had since childhood. I am 77, so that gives you an idea of how long I have had them.

So many of my favorite things in this episode! Oh the barkcloth! My mother bought a brand new Pontiac Chiefton in 1955. My aunt who was a seamstress would make a set of seat covers front and back, out of bark cloth! There was a new set every 3-4 years, always bark cloth that my aunt would pull out of one of her many boxes. We had the best dressed car around!

We used those little tiny cardboard or plastic drawer organizers as earring separators when we were preteens for our little stud earrings, right after we got our ears pierced. I think the local earring store and Woolworths sold them for such a purpose.

Great stuff!!

Thank you George! Loved this!

I'd LOVE to have that Garfield (21:47), just because I am a Garfield fan! I have Garfield slippers, socks, cups, decorator plates for shelf/wall & etc! And thank you for showing that material! It took me back to my childhood! My mom did a lot of sewing & I remember seeing so many of those designs while growing up! Also enjoyed the vintage jewelry! Can't seem to find any where I live!

That cloth made me think back to our table clothes

About 7-8 years ago myself along with probably a dozen other sales reps (We work for a 102 year old Chicago based restaurant supplier) were flown to WV to the Homer Laughlin China plant, Fiestaware probably best known for but hand painted and decal applied custom plates were a real art form to view the making of. A lot of classic plain white China lines as well. The most incredible part was the showroom I believe is not even open to the public in the 2nd floor where every China ever produced was on display. As amazing as the 150 year old built in cabinetry that displayed it all. They’ve been purchased by Steelite China since along with Hall ceramics located not far from the HL plant. It was like going way back in time watching the many employees in the factory with the brick floors made of oak bricks!

Another, I found myself verclempt, moved to tears by these gorgeous, delicious, phenomenal brooches. I've worn them everyday of my 35 year career, all thrifted & I have some beautiful ones but I've tended to be drawn to the fun & funky ones, the bigger the better. Since retirement, I've began to use them in decorating, placing them in strategic places, crafting with some, framing others in small vintage frames, placing them in small bottles, vases, jars~esp the tremblers & the bigger bling. But nothing I've seen compares with the staggering beauty you showed. Ok, watched it twice thru, I'm freezing. I'll be watching it again, trying to absorb the info you are sharing. I recently told my fav resellers I will only buy 4" & above to try to limit my buying. At first it was met with disbelief, but Jeana, Trisha & others have met that challenge a tad too well, LOL.
