Here’s the link to the Hulkin Shopping bag! 😍 bit.ly/Hulken

AAAHHHH! Laura, it is so funny how things happen. I give all the credit to God. Some people may say it’s the universe, but whatever you may think this is definitely one of those things. I had just finished watching your video and two houses down a Neighbor had had a yard sale. I was walking down to our mailboxes and I stopped to chat with her as she was still cleaning up to ask how she did. She said she did really well, but had some jewelry left that she was going to donate. She had already boxed up most of it but there were about 20 pieces still on the table. She said nobody had been interested in the brass jewelry and she had a lot of that left and if there’s anything laying here that you like, just take it . I started looking at it and saw some brass brutalist pieces which is one of my faves I chose 7 pieces. I was just picking what I liked I did not think to look for signatures . When I got home I was untangling a necklace and a bracelet and just about fell out of my chair when I saw Carl Tasha on the back of the turtle pendant on the necklace ! Then I checked the bracelet. AGAIN CARL TASHA!!! I checked the other 5 pieces and found 2 more CT pieces🤯!! I walked back down to my neighbors house and showed her the value of these pieces and what she could sell them for online and tried to give them back to her. she asked me if I was going to keep them or sell them and I said I chose those particular pieces because I had never seen anything quite like them and loved all of the 7 of them but could not keep the signed Tasha pieces. She said of course you can “they are your found treasure and they found their way to their forever home”🥹 I kept trying to give her money and she absolutely refused. I loved them before I ever saw the signature so the fact that they are by a known designer is just icing on the cake. I am going to help her go through the things that she already boxed up to look for signatures, and to help her sell them . I wanted to share this with you and thank you for your videos I have commented before how much I have learned from your channel, and how much I have been able to do with money I have made from recognizing and then selling things that your videos taught me about. I don’t know how to say thank you enough, but just know you have impacted mine and my families life in such an amazing way.😢

My vintage/antique seller friend was pulling out stuff to sell and I spotted one of those ice buckets. ( I had owned one ages ago but donated to a thrift) I commented on the bucket not mentioning how they always pop up in Laura's videos. My friend told me how valuable they are and hard to find. I just chuckled. 😄

We are so excited to see all the amazing treasures that you found! We hope to see you in June at the Washington State Fair and Events Center Center. We will be back in Portland next year too. Dates to be announced. Stay tuned!

I found a set of 8 tall fostoria glamour green goblets glasses and 8 short ones.. vintage and in perfect condition! $1.50 each… from Chandler, Arizona ❤️

I found your channel less than two weeks ago and only have 10 videos left to watch on the entire channel lol!!! EVERY SINGLE second I have to spare I’m watching a video. Your energy is infectious and can tell you have a beautiful soul. I live in Iowa but my daughter moved to Eugene to go to college at the U of O this past fall. I have been hoping to find a video of some good thrift stores in Eugene. If anyone has any recommendations please let me know ❤️😘your videos bring me pure joy! Keep up the amazing work 😊

Laura, I LOVE the moody boat & buildings painting! And how excited Jesse got over his EXIT sign!

Just a note, The Great Wave , is a woodblock not a painting.

It' not a new find, but it finally has a home in my new house in North Carolina. Over the fireplace in my bedroom! It is a HUGE Don Friedman textile piece. It is round. At least 4 or 5 feet across. Signed and with the button. It is a tall woman all in grey (the color of the walls in my new room!) she is standing in front of a palm tree with a large full moon behind her and two clouds on the side. And she hs pearls! Yes pearls. A strand of pearls around her hair and a second strand in her hand that she is like holding up in the moonlight. I bought it over a year ago for 16 dollars, but i had no place to put it in my NY house. Having a fireplace in my bedroom - with 10 foot ceilings made it the first thing I hung up - well actually she leans - although the piece has the metal structure to hang it. And it is heavy. But I can't find anything like it anywhere. I have seen several of his round pieces online - mostly birds, I even saw a photo of the back of one of them and the structure is identical. But I cannot find a single piece of his work with this woman I call the "Mystery Woman". Has anyone ever seen one of these? Hit me up with an e mail addy and I can send pics. She looks down on me when I sleep in my en suite bedroom - with a HUGE bathroom too! I think of her as a jewel thief. My vision is that she was at a party at someone's fancy tropical home and she snuck out of the party and stole the pearls from the bedroom. Now, she is standing in the moonlight holding her treasures. Due to a delay and a mover who quit leaving half of my belongings behind, I am finally getting my stuff tomorrow morning and I cannot wait to pull out some of the treasures I have collected and never used and style up that fireplace with MCM goodness,

The bronze sculpture reminds me of Salvador Dali Wailing Wall

My most recent thrift adventure garnered a midcentury necktie, a silk dress, and a see-thru top I can't wait to wear over tank tops this summer. My most recent vintage adventure had me going home with 3 pairs of vintage earrings and 3 vintage brooches. I am in the market for a couple pieces of second hand furniture - all in good time. Y'all got some cool stuff. I would love a Thriftapalooza adventure!

New Port Richey Florida I found a wonderful handmade Victorian Sideboard that is Child Sized. It has all the Gingerbread and Beveled Mirrors. I now search for more marvelous quality Child Sized Tea Sets and Dishes of the same era.

So glad Mr.Jesse can now find his way Out of the house...more slotted spoons await out there!❤That Exit sign would look great in the tiki bar/man cave!

Laura, I had those coyote earrings when we lived in Tucson years ago.

Hey googled. LM sculpture and it came back with L M Fluente. maybe ?

Like your husband, I’m a huge fan of “The Great Wave” as well. Did you know there is Lego art of it? I bought it when it dropped last year. I have never put anything together Lego wise but it came out beautifully! It sits up against my fireplace I don’t use because I live in Florida!😂

That look like an awesome place rummage around. Jesse’s light was really cool, that will great smart once done and with a bulb in. Also really liked the silver fish broach thingy.

Yay! Great lightweight rolling treasure bag; so happy to go shopping with you! Sharpens my Eye, its like shopping practice! Thank You!

I love watching you shop! Sometimes I see something that I grew up with, like the wooden fruit in this video. Or I see something that Grandma had. Or I see something I wish I had! I enjoy watching you a LOT!

I love Brutalist art work. You have an uncanny knack for finding them. I would check out the painting carefully. It is not to my taste but shows excellent bones...so to speak. I look forward to your next adventures.

I found a beautiful Czech glass deco necklace with green chrysoprase at the Larkin Antique pop-up in Hillsboro. I also found a couple nice African masks and a Kvalheim pottery vase at a GW in Beaverton.

What do I rave about first?? The phoenix necklace is just beyond. Now I’m searching. My next tattoo is a phoenix. I’m going out BIG! 😆 The rolling bag ppl need to sponsor y’all for sure!! I get so jazzed when I see you post a new video. ♥️

Beautiful haul!!! U must of been in heaven, when u were up to your elbows in silver jewelry!!! So many breathtaking finds!!!💞💞🙃💞💞

My Sat night ritual 🇦🇺 run a bath, pour a drink, watch Laura ❤❤❤

What fun.... Love the brutalist pieces. And I too love my Hulken Bag!

My mother used a bag like that for her grocery shopping.

I bought a lot of that Russian paper mashay in East Berlin in 1986 before the wall came down.

Interesting jewelery but nothing I would wear. You got some amazing deals too.

Another great video Laura. Hope the Japan trip is going well. In an Op (charity) Shop in Brisbane last week I found an amazing vintage 20 piece Japanese eggshell porcelain tea set. It has a brown and gold geometric pattern on the rim and a lithophane of a geisha in the bottom of the cups. It was in perfect condition and cost A$23 (about US$15). It was made for the western market which explains why I never saw one at the Oi Keiba-jo flea market.

Please share the exit sign when Jesse finishes it. Both of ya'll are so clever and fun to watch. 😃

Hahaha...I recognized the jewelry table. The vendor comes all the way to Cupertino (bay area) CA the first Saturday of the month.We have a fabulous flea mkt at our Junior College. She ALWAYS has great stuff. Small World!

That beautiful wooden box for $35 looked like koa wood. If it was, $35 would be a steal! Koa boxes this size would sell for $500-800!

The Exit peace looks like an Urn to me. Think about how clever that would be 😊

Hi Laura. I am a Mid Century Vintage Lover like you. I was born in 1956 so I grew up with it and still love it. Even so I have learned quite a bit about MCM from you. When I started collecting it was so much easier to find. I stupidly sold all my street scene paintings and can no longer find them anywhere. Anyway a question for you, MCM has been popular among young people for a while now, I suspect that may be fading a little. What will you be looking for when MCM no longer sells? Your opinion would be appreciated!!

The bronze kneeler looked Portuguese to me. Or, maybe Spanish? That's all I've got! I would hand sketch the marking/signature and post it on here and the other sites (yours and etc.). It was so difficult to see. Then, maybe a lens search of your sketch will even bring up something? Good luck. It is an outstanding piece!

Adorable little Alaskan baskets! Your lady is lucky Jessie 😊

OMG that Carl Tasha!! Epic. Love your videos 💕💕 and your sweet personality

Love when you two are together❤

I found a limited in number replicas autographed by the painter 1-1000. Lei Zhon-Xun. One is framed with back caption about the artist with address n phone number. No date(also info in Chinese). The sig is on the matting. Found the framed one first day and next day found two unframed. They looked to be on photo paper. The framed one is a bearded man holding two roosters. They remind me of watercolor? All I know🤷‍♀️. These were found on a senior center $2 bag day so had many more treasures in the bags🤩

O always enjoy when you show us how you style your finds! Inspirational.

I love the brutalist necklace holder!

I saw you on Abigail’s channel yesterday!

Wow! I love, love, love the Norwegian bronze necklace. What a fabulous piece! Also love the necklace stand. It looks amazing with the colored stone necklaces on it. I've seen Andi's and Abigail's vlogs of Thiftpalouza so was really looking forward to seeing yours and what beautiful things you picked up. My favourite recent find was a cloisonne bowl with lid from auction. It's already on display in my living room. Welcome back!

I ordered a Hulkin bag! Excited to out and use it.
