Absolutely yes on the fashion video. I've been looking for a leather fringe jacket and/or purse...like the ones you have. Why oh why did I get rid of the ones I had on the 70s???? 🧡💛💚💙💜

I think that chenille “top” is actually a bed jacket, like a short robe worn over PJs 😊

My Granny wore them and always looked great!!

I resale china quite often, but it isn’t easy. I find that serving pieces do really well or a five piece place setting or single bowls, plates, cups for people to buy to replace broken pieces. Large sets - no matter how fabulous - just don’t sell and it’s really sad to break up a set that has survived decades together!

I just had to pause the vid at 13:00 and take in ALL the Beauty & talent that i was looking at on my screen🤩 (especailly w/ 🐈‍⬛ included) You're amazing Laura!!💞

I used to live in the PNW and the Goodwills are much nicer compared the Goodwills in the South East from my experience, especially for home goods.

Your casual table setting has me craving some wine and cheese! Maybe a charcuterie board? Off I go to shop my home to make a lovely table, inspired by you, Laura!

Omg that alabaster platter was gorgeous and she put it back!!!

That framed art work looks amazing on your wall. Great eye! Love it!

The ibex painting is stunning as is the whole vignette! ❤️

I’ve managed a couple of thrift stores in Northern California. Dishes are a hard sell partly because people just don’t have room to store them. We always break up sets. Otherwise they just do not sell. So glad we don’t have to deal with shipping! There is a big thrifting community in the Bay Area.

I love how you can look at a piece and know how to style it...

I was surprised that you were choosing colored items! YAY! Your palette is usually from Pale Beige to dark, dark brown even black!! Lots of turquoise jewelry, wooden bowls, earth toned ceramics, etc. LOL LOVE your style!!

Loved that mug not too glossy for me. Goodwill has gotten too high. $49.99 was so overpriced for that jacket.

Hi Laura, I never dreamed I would like mid-century decor, but you have totally changed my perspective, and now I love it! I believe you might be using altar linens, as your napkins, in your 2nd table scape.

Your hair is getting sooo long! I love it! The Vino decanter is from the 70’s. I had it, was a set with Parmesan cheese, big pasta bowl, individual pasta bowls and antipasto bowl!!

Laura, thank you for putting out great videos, I really enjoy going with you on your thrift shopping adventures and your travel adventures. I usually learn a lot about art, architecture and history when you look and purchase items. I am looking forward to all your future videos sharing your latest travel trip. You are so gifted and talented in staging the items you purchase in a variety of ways that helps all of us think about the items we thrift and how to use them around our home or office. Keep up the great work you do.

I was so happy to see a new video from you and I can’t wait to see your trip to Europe and what you found. ❤

I love when you clothes shop!! 🙌🏽

When I was young I would decorate my whole house for seasons and holidays. Now as I am older I like to at least do a flag and wreath on front area and set the table with just linens and centerpiece. My neighbor across the street tells me he knows what the time of year it is when he leaves the house. Lol TFS

It’s always so nice to log in to KZread & see a new video from you, Laura. You work so hard to bring us such quality videos & I just want you to know that your time is recognized & appreciated! I’m glad you made it home safely & are able to enjoy our last weekend of summer weather. What a beautiful weekend we’ve had! xo ☀️

I work at an opportunity shop. And we have a lot of trouble selling dishes! We usually sell them item by item.

I’ve had luck selling dish sets both online and in my vintage booth. I do usually separate them into small groups, though (4 bowls, 4 plates, etc).

Wow!!You channel has grown so much so many subs!!!Congrats!!!Been here since you first started!!Love Goodwill hauls🍁🍂

You literally do magic with your styling

I adore the reindeer picture. ( The antlers going forward and backward suggest reindeer.) I always break up a dish set into twos, and do quite well. You can sell the singles as replacements. So happy for the forward trajectory of your business, Laura!

Fun thrifting with you🎉😊

On dinnerware: one of my first-ever resales was a small collection of 28 pieces of Villeroy & Boch "Acapulco" dinnerware that I purchased for $29 and sold for $1200! It has a huge cult following. Another is Rorstrand's "Mon Amie" pattern. I try and limit the dinnerware to Arabia Finland, Hornsea, etc. and stick to mid-20th Century ones that appeal to avid collectors.

I love that pattern. I have also sold that brand for good money.

I really loved the platter you found.. it's a keeper for sure 😀

Hello Laura, l like your purchases this time. Even though your taste is different to mine, l have to say that you REALLY know how to co-ordinate the pieces together well. I was born early 50's and lived through the 70's and 80's, and now l usually hate anything from that time, but you make it look so much fun. Did you do a course to learn this or is it an inate way you do things? We tend to favour more the English style often. All the best from Australia. Xxxx

“Con el pan y el vino se anda el camino” as we say in Spain😂😂

Girl, these wine glasses are to die for!

Tae setting #1 was amazing!!❤ You are so talented

Fall setting #2 for me I loved the pink coloring cups and like the cheese plate better and risky vase, Europe wow

I love the picture you found. I see people calling it an antelope, but to me it looks like a reindeer or caribou. Either way, it’s beautiful! I really like the platter for the cheese and fruit tray. And agree with you that leaving it out for display is the way to go. I recently acquired a “tray” that my mom made with tiles from the 50’s. I grew up with it as base under electric fry pans. We now use it in table displays. When it’s not in use, it is placed as a “back splash “ behind the range top.

Can’t wait for the clothing haul!

Table #2!!! Love it 😊

I definitely preferred the first table setting for a Fall style. The rose-stemmed goblets are lovely, but I think the unique shape of the bowls are much more appealing than the stems. They remind me of Ikea's Dyrgrip style - not fancy but striking and I keep buying these for regular use again and again!

I sell dishes. Yes, they are a slow mover. I piece them out in sets of 2 or 4. I offer combine shipping if it is safe to do. The last set of dishes were Mikasa Christmas dishes. One buyer purchased the 4 dinner plates, 4 salad plates and 4 bowls. I was only able to combine ship just the plates, due to size and weight.

Youre am amazing interior decorator, Laura. Im always amazed. Wow'd me ❤

Yay! You're back!!!

Here in Denmark we don't really decorate for every seasons. The only time we decorate is for christmas. We normally decorate for christmas by december 1st. And we take it down again with in the first week of january.

Most people are looking for replacement pieces, others want to increase their collection by add place settings….. thus you need to be flexible and be open to requests

Antelope pic is great!

I found you through All Put Together. I’ve been watching. You have some great finds!

I do well selling dishes. Specifically Plates and barware. I sell them individually because most are vintage and people want replacements.

Nice table decor ❤ thank u for sharing

Great video. I enjoy watching how you style items. And yes, I sell dishes and have done well with them. I sell in complete sets. I was actually washing two sets when you posed the question.😄 I will admit that packaging/shipping an entire set can be stressful.

I wonder if dishes not selling has to do with people’s hesitation about using items that could possibly be full of lead. I came across an article that led me to a few days of researching this, and I was dismayed to discover that most dinnerware prior to the late 1990s isn’t safe to cook with and eat on. I used to collect Corelle and Corning ware, and the manufacturer actually recommends that pieces prior to 2005 be used for decorative purposes only. ☹️That shocked me. I still do a lot of thrifting and vintage shopping, but I now avoid dishes unless they’re newer.

@bunchielove6893

Yes. It started with the Pyrex debate but collectors still buy them for display.

For fall I decorate in harvest genre first then quickly go into Halloween.

I love you're 'styling'!!

For some reason I really liked Fall setting #2 best. It was beautiful. Good job!

I have a vintage mall space, and plates do not sell well for me at all. However, I'm kinda thinking that the younger folks will be getting into sets since they tend to go against what us older folks are doing. 😆 I love how you styled your finds - as always!

I also love the antelope. It looks beautiful with all your lovely things. The glasses with the crystal like base is super as well. One nit-pic comment.. You never lay the table with the knife blade pointing outwards, always towards the plate. That holds true in Europe as well. I love watching you.. You must be wonderful to have as a friend.

Beautiful pieces❤

Dear Laura, I love your latest videos. I wanted to mention Heart of Ohio Antique A new to KZread family that the Crazy Lamp Lady recommended. They have a lot of rare antiques. (Soooooo much jewelry too.) They have online auctions, huge warehouses, etc. My husband and I love their channel.

I agree...dishes don't sell in my booth at Black Barrel Vintage Monroe, WA at all! But I hope you'll visit and highlight our shop sometime...its awesome! You are sooo fun and inspiring to me!
