Surprise Antique Mall Stop Makes Vintage Shopping Excitement!
This road is amazing! One listed estate sale brought me here, but three more sales and now an unexpected antique mall is turning the highway into Independence, Missouri an antique and vintage picker's paradise.
Elsie Bett's Antique Mall is a revelation that makes us stop the van before we get to Independence Temple, a Mormon holy site that was our original destination. The sign claims antiques, vintage, retro and repurposed ware dwell inside...but will we find things we can afford to buy and bring to our serious collectors?
The answer quickly proves to be yes! Pieces of 1920s Czech jewelry, Murano glass earrings, a scarce pair of cafe ware shakers and a Tiffin satin compote in a color few people (including the dealer) realize glows under a black light all prove well priced for what they are, and they're coming with me to my next antique show.
For a suburban antique center, this place is refreshingly filled with real vintage and antiques, which makes it fun to see the whole place. We compare newer Satsuma cats to old, see a stove from an unusual maker, and comb through displays of everything from Big Little Books to 1950s lettuce ware in this fun and fortuitous stop! We'll remember this place in our future antiquing excursions in the Kansas City area.

Hi Everyone!
Always a treat! Ty, George!❤❤❤
The afghan pattern is called "Mile a Minute" you make lots of strips then crochet then together. It's the only pattern I don't have a problem with lol.
What a buffet of history for the eyes⚘
The blue afgan is newer. It’s called a ‘Mile-a-Minute’ pattern. I’m a crocheter and I think those are some of my favorite afghans to crochet.
Love George! Wow! What he knows is just amazing! I repeat-watch the some of the same videos, learn something new every time. ❤

Hello Sir George, So happy to be joining you from Pembroke Pines, FL. Kelly
George I so appreciate all your knowledge! Thank you!
that is a really flashy hat really like it you look good in it🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
I am surprised that you didn’t get that afghan. I think a lot of people would pay double the price for something that intricate.
I worked at a pediatric group in Memphis. Two of the doctors were getting up in years and a lot of the equipment we had reflected that. Don’t get me wrong, it was all perfectly functional! Anyway, we had those canisters for gauze etc. One day I accidentally knocked the cotton ball canister off the counter and it broke! My doctor I worked with was in a room steps away and he said, “what was that?” I answered, cotton balls to which he replied, “that did not sound like cotton balls!!” Of course it didn’t, but it gave us a good laugh!! Thanks for the memory❣️

Wild George watermelon exciting in adventure. I love it when you're going to these different stores. And show us the different things and find out more information about different items. Be safe in your travels.😊😊😊😊😊😊
I bag similar Czech necklaces every chance I get. 20s American fiigree too. (Mine!Mine! as the seagulls said)
Good evening everyone!
I sure hated missing the live feed again, but enjoyed the replay very much! The name of the store reminded me of Elsie, the cow. She had a bell around her neck. When I was a little girl, my second cousin had a pink, Elsie, the cow with a veil around her neck, and I was in it enamored by her. I have never seen another one.

The veiled Elsie! That's a hard piece to find intact now.
Thank you , George for showing us all of the items you were exploring today !
I always learn so much from you when you shop these markets. It’s fun to meander around with you. Have fun on the next adventure. Deb 😊
Elsie Bell's is one of my favorite antique malls to visit. I agree with you about the fine displays. How fun to see you at one of my favorite places!! Love your videos and your generosity in sharing knowledge.

Hello from Beach Park Illinois!
Sure do love shopping with you George😊
George, things from the 90's are vintage now. I know what you mean in reference to the phone but it's been 20+ years since the 90's so they can label as vintage. I am specific about age on my vintage items if I know it but not everyone bothers. The cards of buttons were really well priced, I would have grabbed a card or 2. I have a real weakness for buttons, some are such works of art. This was a really nice shop. Oh, that afghan looked like it was made from a "mile a minute" pattern. Those stripe are quick to crochet and then crochet together. Really big in the 70's/80's.
That shop was super fantastic! Everything was displayed beautifully and that u for taking us along.

Love the D. F. Haynes and Son Pitcher. Based on a quick bit of research it was made in Baltimore, Maryland. I recently picked up some of their pieces that advertise the Leisy Brewing Company from Peoria Ill circa 1905. They are also Egyptian themed.
Fun video! Our 6th grade class trip was to Beach Bend Park!

Hey George!! I want to tell you that I love seeing you in both “reseller” groups. No idea what happened that the Crazy Lamp Lady and her friends are no longer invited to “hang” with the larger reseller group. I really just appreciate you. As always I enjoyed all your shopping.
That Glowy green glass was nice as well as some of the other glass too. I really liked the buttons though. I would actually use them on clothes and give them some pizz zazz and bling. Love the name of the store as well, reminds me of my Grandma. Have a great day and safe travels
Nice tour of a lovely place with great staging. I saw quite a few pieces of Blenko glass, couldn't see the prices, though. I love all the button cards! Thanks, George

I remember retro used to mean vintage (At least that's what I remember from the very early 2000s) and then vintage came around and they started calling vintage looking new stuff retro. The oval table at 6:44 had marquetry vs parquetry. I see marquetry as organic designs and parquetry (Think of parquet flooring.) as geometric designs. It's funny that we know asbestos is bad for our lungs, but have you ever breathed in fiberglass insulation batting? 7:40 It's kind of the elephant in the room but it's still highly sold and used. (If I were a millionaire I'd use a safer alternative, but like always, healthy is always more expensive.

We built our house in 1982. My husband and I did most of the work ourselves, except for the framing in. We laid the fiberglass insulation in our attic in the winter time. The coat I wore while we installed it had to be thrown away. To this day, I can just look at fiberglass insulation and break out into an itch !

Good evening, George! That Haynes pitcher, with the Egyptian theme, really caught my eye. I always wanted a Warwick tankard set with the monks on it. I like old handkerchiefs, but I'm really picky about the patterns on them. Those Czech jewelry pieces are beauties. There were a lot of smalls there that would be fun to sort through. Thanks for the take-along!

Hidi, George, your audio is usually at a sound level that is strain and stress free! This upload was not, unfortunately. Your device or equipment may have changed or not at the usual setting, but whatever the cause, it’s too bad because your KZread presentations are usually heard on my nearly new iPad Pro with comfort and ease. Don’t be concerned, You’ll have to do a lot worse than have low sound for me to fail to listen to everything that you broadcast! However, if you can check your sound recording in some way and improve on it, it would be appreciated. Now, to something besides constructive criticism: I love how you strategize as you thrift, or shop! I follow along with you through the shop or mall spaces, as the case may be, and learn something every time. Thank you, my friend George, for your frankness and down to earth approach to shopping for vintage and the antique. ❤🎉❤🎉❤
