I was thinking a seal, assuming it might have been made on the coast of Oregon and knowing there are so many seals in the area.

Me and a stranger in a goodwill today bonded over our shared love for you and your videos. Hope you had a good trip! Wish I could go to your antique show!

This is the second time you've picked an item from my tribe, Papago (Tohono O'odham). Last time you got a beautiful basket.

Laura,the large brush you say is a shaving brush,not far off, it is a barber brush to use to brush away hair after a haircut. Love your videos

The wooden-handled brush with the longer bristles, might actually be a barber's brush. I inherited a similar one that was from the 1940-50s that my grandmother used in her beauty shop many years ago to brush off hair trimmings after finishing a hair cut.

I think it might be a japanese or chinese calligraphy brush. These come in various sizes, are round and the bristles are quite long relative to the handle.

I am *obsessed* with that bird textile on the wall behind you in your recap at the end.

I’ve been watching you for years. You taught my eyes go straight towards anything wood. I’ve always had a love for it, especially hand carved and vintage. I always get very inspired by your videos. Edited to add, it cracks me up the change in music when you spot the penguin ice buckets. 😂

I still need to find the beginning of the penguin bucket story!

The bottle is St. John's Bay Rum Men's Cologne. It's a great look, definitely look great with many different décor styles. Loved the wreath. Great picks.

A-frames are so cool! I don't think that's a shaving brush, but is used by barbers to brush hair off of the neck after a haircut and to apply talcum powder to the back of the neck after shaving it close with a straight razor. My dad was a barber in the early 60's and he always had one in his kit whenever he would cut my hair as a kid in the 80's.

It makes me smile when you highlight the Penguin Servers! I have a 50s one on display (Mom’s), and a 70s one in the cupboard (a wedding gift). If they could talk, oh, the stories they could tell!

My dad had one of those brushes when I grew up in the forties and fifties. He used it when he cut someone’s hair to brush the hair off the neck after the cut.

You are the best ambassador for the Oregon coast! Your videos are spectacular. Thanks to you I have developed a newfound appreciation for those vintage midcentury items that I grew up with and have now started acquiring a few pieces. Strangely enough I recently picked up a vintage shaving brush. I use mine for dusting small glass and pottery pieces. So glad I discovered your channel late one night. Your enthusiasm and willingness to share knowledge is much appreciated.

Laura, I know this isn't much, but I wanted to thank you for being such a positive inspiration in my business life. I have learned so much from you!

@@JenFlutterby Good job! What a fun find!

Loved the Japanese wooden doll and the Mexican wreath. The wooden brush was used by a Barbour. I have fond memories going with my dad to get a hair cut when Iwasalittlegirl. The Barbour used the brush to apply powder to the back of my dad's neck after shaving it, and to brush away hair cuttings. It brought back some very special memories from my childhood. Great video!

Not a shaving brush. My grandfather was a barber and I inherited a majority of his utensils. This brush was used to brush a customer’s neck and shoulders after a haircut. Yours could be from the late 30s. He worked at Ford Motor Company and had a barber shop in his basement. He fathered nine children, feeding seven boys was always a challenge. 🙂

I love the Oregon Coast. Literally have been swinging on those iconic swings. Miss Laura, you don’t disappoint. Like ever!!!

The long handled brush is a barber's brush used for clean-up after the hair cut. I had a barber in the family, so I know what it is.

Today, I found 2 antique Kokeshi wooden dolls at the Goodwill bins! Love the one you got!

I think the shell-covered planter is like things people used to make in the 1970s. Also, the critter's face looks more like a seal's than a beaver's to me, but it could be a beaver. Nice episode! Very engaging.

That vintage brush is a barbershop brush for whisting hair from the clients neck and shoulders after being finished.

The addition to the liquor bottle is called "caning", and is mostly used as the seat and back of vintage chairs.

Your taste is impeccable! I love your calm, soothing voice and your kind nature really shines through!!

Hi Laura, I thought I might be able to help a little bit about a Kokeshi doll. The bottom left says 無心（mushin）in Japanese , looks like that is the title of the doll. I could find the same artist same title kokeshi on Japanese websites. ( for selling) I could not find the explanation of why the title is 無心, but it means mental state free from emotion. ( you can Google in English and you’ll find the meaning) The artist name is 渡辺正雄 ( Masao Watansbe) the artist has received prizes from Japan Prime minister for great artist. He was born in 1917- . Kokeshi doll I see in the Japanese website has the painted face and clothes, maybe what you have once had painting and faded. I also found that this artist’s kokeshi is different from Traditional, but called sosaku kokeshi which means creative kokeshi.

The beach scenes were the best! I love love love water & sand, such a pretty spot!

I have so many wonderful memories of Rockaway Beach. I spent every spring break there in high school with my best friends (my best friend’s grandma owned a house there). I also worked for the Tllamook Railroad at one time & traveled through Rockaway many times on the trains. Now time to watch the video😊

I had never heard of a penguin ice bucket before watching your channel and I have to say that I think it's hilarious and makes me chuckle every time!🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧 PS - I have a green pottery vase like the one you picked up, but it has frogs on it. I got it in Nicaragua directly from the artist. So cool.

The blue striped jugs are beautiful!

I love watching your videos, we do not share the same decor style at all, but your enthusiasm is contagious, and you have taught me how to better find items that I love. Thanks for being you and a ray of sunshine.

I think the bottle was a bay rum men's cologne. I bought one for my Dad. 😊

I have a myrtle wood perfume bottle that was my mothers. I cherish it. I recently found a second one at the bins of all places. I always watch your videos looking for Salty and Peppys. :) The collection has grown since you saw it, however many years ago that was.

25:34: you can buy those brushes today too. This one may be for shaving but as you said it is large and mine is is the same size and is for dusting. I recently bought it at the Bürstenmanufaktur in Dresden.
