So Good, We Went Back! Thrift Shopping Antiques & Vintage

Sometimes, the second time is sweeter than the first! A collector friend takes us to "Treasure Marts" of Mount Dora, Florida, a vendor mall where decorator and new things conceal some wonderful (and wonderfully low-priced) antique and vintage items in their midst. We find vibrant vintage enamelware, a cozy quaint afghan, 1970's MCM modernist designer furniture and inexpensive Victorian enameled glass and spoon-carved furniture while I get my first impression of this place. $15 later, we pack our goodies out to the car and talk of the need to come shop here again sometime...
...but so soon? Just two weeks later, a rained out Sunday at my Renninger's Antique Show booth leaves me at loose ends, when some favorite KZread friends and creators call and ask me to join them at this promising looking thrift mall they saw online...and it's "Treasure Marts" again! So I change into dry clothes and shop near the front while I await them, and am pleasantly surprised to find fresh things I didn't see the first time. Pierrot clowns by a 1980s firm that riffed on the original 1930s versions go up to the counter, and I scout a Westmoreland box and a big, bright two-tone Italian console bowl from the 1960s that I leave to see whether my colleagues will notice it.
Somehow, they sneak in behind me, and next thing I know, we're in the middle of the mall, where we meet up just in time to share the excitement of two Viking Glass 'Bluenique' 1960s pieces we all love! Sandy of @myflippingvanlife4437 has the covered candy, while Jocelyn @CrazyLampLady has the three-pronged triangle vase that's a miniature version of my favorite Viking vase in my own collection!
We comb the rest of the mall together, reading poetry in the form of 1920s Edgar Guest mottoes, sending goodies like painted parking signs and wild rooster figures to the hold area, and running into another friend who also ditched the soggy antique show to come find a prize in the form of an MCM ceramic mask. Turns out it pays to go back to vintage thrift places often!

    Glad to see you finding a good variety of items that will sell at your various shops and shows, at prices where you can make profit, and still have satisfied customers. I remember having some of these pieces as a child and teen. Seeing my life now being solidly Vintage was a bit of a shock when it first happened…of course, pieces I bought as Vintage in my day are now antique. It seems to shift every 25-30 years or so. For me, classic, high end items from the years I lived have staying power. It isn’t the fads that changed as often as people changed their underwear that hold value, where high quality goods do. Single focus collections also tend to drop in value while name/brand, and scarcity, as well as true artisanship and quality materials tend to hold their value, and increase as time is added to the equation. A big box of *Furbies* will fetch less than a classic styled Irish Round Tower Tweed women’s suit, which will command higher prices in today’s market, if properly stored and cared for. So much needs to be considered when building a collection from any given period.🖤🇨🇦

    The hairdos and dresses ( "robe de style") on the two pink boudoir lamps date from the early to mid 20s at the latest. I would think that is a more accurate way to date them, as I doubt they would sell a decade or more later when the fashions were definitely passe. Also..I love your channel!

    While you are absolutely correct that the fashions were dated, the glass firms didn't do a lot of fired-on colors until the 1930s, and there were dresser jars with those older styles still being made as well

    Good evening, George. I liked the Victorian settee set. The Victorian water set was a nice one, at a really good price. I won't be adding anymore to my collection, though. I liked the fish brooch. I used to have a large red antique scale, with a brass tray and weights. I sold it when I moved here with mom. It weighed a ton. I didn't know Royal Worcester was no longer in business. That's sad. They made really nice porcelain. I like the dome-topped trunks best...keeps them from getting cluttered. I have one that belonged to my great-grandfather. I liked the green barrel decanter. They work great for Absinthe drip. Love the brass mortar and pestle. Fun shop-along!
