Better than the Thrift Store! Finding Lost Antiques & Vintage

We get a little lost today, and stumble upon some lost treasures in the process! A "lost" thrift store chain and a nearly-lost antique shop in a bypassed town are the source of our finds today. Will these forgotten places have antiques and vintage our collectors love to find?

We start at Volunteers of America, perhaps the most forgotten of the five nationwide thrift store chains in the USA. It's restocking time at their Lansing, Michigan store...what will roll out on the next cart? We tag along as they pull out fresh finds in hopes that something we love pops up.

But time is short, and we're directionally confused...which is how we wind up in Middleton, at the only antique store for miles in any direction! It's a shop full of beautiful, high-style Victorian furniture, ravishing glass lamps, sparkly beaded bags and all things truly antique...so what's that shelf of 1960s glass doing in the middle of it all?

We find a real score in this one, using the trick of looking for the lost and forgotten thing that doesn't match the rest of the shop! You'll have to watch the video to find out what our prize is, but it's a real find in a place where the unusual abounds.

In the meantime, we get to see an amazing 19th century Dutch baby sleigh, a carved Black Forest bedroom suite worth five figures and a bunch of fun small vintage collectibles, enough of which come home with us that we're glad we got lost! Here's to future serendipitous wrong turns.
