In the UK, we generally refer to floral designs like that as made by Sanderson. It is a company set up in London in the 1860s and made wallpaper and fabric which became popular with the royal family and aristocracy and is also described as chintz. Its heyday was the early part of the 20th century to the 1930s but was adopted into most homes after that. Hence the 1970s phrase 'chucking out the chintz' when it became less fashionable. But it regained favour in the 80s and saw several companies copy its prints. There is a website called the Rosarian Library which documents a lot of the prints. It is still a viable company and now also owns William Morris designs. It is highly collectable and can be very expensive. Yours is a copy but look out for the Sanderson name which would be written in the selvedge of curtains.

We sold ice dyed items at Morningstar Flea Market for a hot minute. I seldom got to shop there. There are cool places to the west of you on the Lincoln Highway, as well. Head to Hanover, New Oxford and Gettysburg! Someday, I’ll be back there in a rented van! Love your videos! I used to dabble for many years on EBay, but just jumped back in with both feet and made a fantastic score on day ONE!

Hey Karen love watching you. That pan you loved so much that had the burnt yuck in it? Well all ya have to do is put it on the stove with water in it say half full with 1/4 cup or 1/2 cup of powdered detergent in it and bring to boil and then let simmer for 15 minutes then bring to boil again for about 10 minutes check to see how loose it is Should be loose enough to rinse out and scrub with some fine steal wool or plastic fuzzy scrubber and dish soap All good. So it really isn’t that hard to clean. I guess it depends on how much you would get for the pan to make it worth your time. But LeCruse don’t know if I spelled that correctly but I know new they are expensive. Have a great shopping trip! OH! Great find on the purse!! That was Lovely!❤️

We should stop blaming Resellers for high Goodwill prices, and instead blame Goodwill for high Goodwill prices. 1. Goodwill should care about (re)selling their merchandise, not about who's buying it. 2. High priced items will not sell to Resellers for obvious reasons. 3. High priced items definitely won't sell to their target buyers: the needy, or the thrifters. 4. High priced items (received for free) too often end up unsold and trashed, or at the bins at best. Seems like the Good Will is more an attribute of the donors than of the store, at least in recent years. Not a smart business model and Resellers have nothing to do with it. Selling more items in a shorter time should not result into drastically raising the prices, but rather into raising the inventory. Anything else will not be sustainable in the long run - smth will have to give.

Lamp, Wood Base: the wood base may have been added for stability, or it might have had a different base section that broke, so it needed a replacement of the same thickness. Many lamps of that era have a long treaded hollow rod that goes from the lamp socket all the way down to the base. A nut, recessed into the base holds all the separate pieces together. So, getting it off the wood might be as simple as un-screwing the nut and pulling off the wood base. The cord runs through the hollow tube, so you might have to disassemble the elec plug to get it off fully, but that lamp is interesting enough to just offer the dismantled parts.
