Thrifting With The Old Curiosity Shop in West Virginia

Track: "HeartShaped Eyes", _glassbone
*******************************************************************************************************
About Me: I have been going to antique shops since I was in diapers. I grew up surrounded by items of decades past and have carried on that legacy as a 3rd generation collector and reseller. I am currently working part time and have a goal of trying to sell on both eBay and Amazon full time. I love thrifting, flea marketing, garage saleing, and antiquing, because I never know what I am going to find. The thrill of the hunt is what makes my adrenaline pump. Thrifting and antiquing are hobbies that pay for themselves. I like buying things for myself and for others whilst looking for things I can resell not only to make a profit, but to pay for the things I treasure. I started filming YouTube videos back in 2013 after I graduated high school. I love anything vintage, specifically the 1950’s. Even though the mid-century modern era is my all-time favorite era, the decades before that time and just slightly after that time all have something funky and cool that make it fun to mix and match in present day.

Great haul Vinny. Love the Americana piece & the RC bird figurine ❤❤❤

Great haul! The Royal Bayreuth _Rose Tapestry_ plate is a nice one. You got a real steal on that one. I really appreciate that you're not finicky about things, and that you don't always have to purchase items with ginormous resell value, or expect five-minute sales on what you buy. Those glass S & P shakers look like they could be Sneath Glass. They made a lot of glass items for the Hoosier, Kitchen Queen, Sellers, etc. cabinets. Bird figurines, like the Royal Copley one, look good in old birdcages. The Asian design floor vase is pretty. Great items!

Cute bird figurine! It is that time of the year & I’m glad spring is here!

The large vase has plumb blossoms on it, not cherry blossoms. Easily confused, both pretty. Nice find ♡

Any good thrift stores in the Beckley, WV area. My daughter’s soon to be fiancé lives near there and we will probably visit in the near future.
