About

I wander across the United Statesβ€”buying, selling, appraising and collecting antiques and vintage items. My journeys take me to antique malls, shows, estate sales & auctions. I enjoy sharing my passion for the objects and recollections of yesteryear. Join me as I travel coast-to-coast, scouring the countryside for interesting places to buy and sell cool old stuff. I might be at an antique show one week, digging through an estate the next, setting up a retail display or showing off the latest finds...it's a fun life, and I hope you'll subscribe and come along! I've found an amazing, warm, fun group of people among the community of collectors, resellers and decorators who make up this crazy antique and vintage collecting world. My desire is to extend those great experiences and fun to all of you who subscribe!

Video Description

Today’s hunt started with a quest for linens, and ended with a van full of treasures! You never know where the day will take you when vintage calls. πŸ”΄ George's Lymphoma GoFundMe: https://bit.ly/4k0WUIC There are no ordinary days in the life of a vintage and antique reseller. Join me for a full day of unexpected finds, from estate sales to old collections tucked away in basements and jewelry stores filled with sparkling history. We begin at Epic Estate Sales in Auburn, Washington, where I’m hoping to find vintage linens. Instead, I walk into a home brimming with forgotten charmβ€”quirky dog figurines, antique Easter glass, vintage toys, railroad lanterns, miniatures, pottery, and more. A porcelain flower pin tops off a surprisingly large pile of antique and vintage finds, setting the tone for the rest of the day. Next stop is Rhinestone Rosie’s in Seattle. If you love costume jewelry with stories behind every sparkle, you’ll love meeting Rosie! She’s not just a repair expertβ€”she’s an Antiques Roadshow appraiser with decades of knowledge. While we’re there, we browse her beautifully curated shop filled with vibrant colors and timeless designs. Before the van gets too full, we swing by Goodwill to donate a fish tank, then pick up a massive train collectionβ€”40 years in the makingβ€”and a few favorite pieces from a longtime consignor. Along the way, we spot Seattle landmarks, dig up a striking Art Deco caddy, and unearth a vintage photo that’s too good not to share! With a van bursting at the seams, we stop by my booth at Lander Street Vintage Mall. Several items just sold, so we restock with today's treasuresβ€”fall-hued dΓ©cor, mid-century glass, cocktailware, and whimsical figurines. A drum with a story, a World's Fair chair, and Hollywood-era posters round out the day. This is what passion turned profession really looks likeβ€”and we’re so glad you’re along for the ride! πŸ‘‰ Remember to like, comment, and subscribe for more antique & vintage adventures across the country! β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” β˜€οΈ Do you want more info about an item you own?
