Hi Sheila! Thanks so much, kind friend, for watching this and letting me know you enjoyed the craziest song from our teenage years. I just remembered now, too, that I was actually an official member of their Fan Club with memorabilia, I assume. Sadly, Steve Ward passed away very young in 1989. I think he was actually the drummer. Have a great weekend, Sheila❣️

Hi Jo! Thanks for sharing that fact. I've only seen 3 pairs over the last several years in the wild, including this set. One of them I purchased that I think is by Blue Mountain Pottery. Thanks again for watching this and writing! Hope you have a great weekend! 😊

@@Crazy4Retro how cool is that, what a lovely memory of your brother sparked by these birds and the song. As always I'm looking forward to seeing the video and your reaction when you first laid eyes on this trio. Oh and be on the look out for a small parcel from me within the next month or so. ❤️📦

Oh, Gareth! You're just such a generous and fun friend to us!! 😘 That's very exciting!! We'll be watching for your sweet 📦! 🤗

Hi Gareth! 👋 Thanks much for letting me know you heartily ❤️ approve! 😁 I was very surprised because just one of those birds can be pricey. I feel fortunate and plan to show them for October décor when I use a lot of black pieces. 🖤🖤🖤 We hope you are doing great! 🤗

@@Crazy4Retro they were a great price for sure. How are you both? Sending hugs as always.

Hey Gareth! Wanted to let you know that I added and pinned a fun comment on this YT Short. I think you'll enjoy reading it. Thanks again for your great support! ❤

Awww, thanks so much, Linda!💕 So sweet of you to feel that way! 🤗 It's great to hear from you! Have a blessed week ahead.

Hi Sheila! Thank you for sharing your fun past! Barbies and all their adorable accessories sure bring back memories. I still have a little note that my mom wrote that said I received my 1st Barbie at age 10. So that would make it 1959 (blonde ponytail, black and white stripe bathing suit). She had a collection of old Barbies and Ken dolls that us kids later sold after she passed in 2000. I went through a newer Barbie collecting phase in the early 90s. I had most of her fun cars, too.😊 I don't have any now, though. These dolls are in a cabinet in the Hopkins Antique Mall in Hopkins, MN. Just had to finally share them. Have a great week! 💕

@Crazy4Retro I bet her collection was really fun. How sweet you have her note. 💕

Hi! Please watch my attached video showing my dining area vintage collection on that wall. Thanks! 😊

Hi Diane! Thank you for watching another video! We are glad you enjoyed seeing things at that big mall and also hearing our crazy joking. There was so much more of expensive items in locked cabinets there that we aren't really interested in, mainly because they are very pricey or too antique for us. It would have taken a lot of time to film all of that fancy stuff. I just like looking at the things mostly on open shelving there that are affordable. Yes, that was a pretty set of Roselane birds, but I have been trying hard to be choosey. I am very spoiled having found so many gorgeous CA Originals MCM birds with gold accents. (I was very happy purchasing that turquoise and gold tall Swan, in Hastings, MN last week. I hope to share it soon.) So I can live without the plainer pottery birds, unless I found something very, very inexpensive or thrifted one. Norm is so generous and is quick to want to spoil me with anything that I'm admiring. That's sweet, but I need to cut way back now, as best as I can. ;-) I'm always going to weaken for something spectacular, if it's within reason for price. I am honestly out of shelf space in our basement laundry room storage area, and the garage, and our shed, too. ;-( Thanks much, Diane, for your fun message, as always. We wish you a blessed week ahead!

Hi! Sure! 😊 The number is 952-894-7200. We'd prefer that you don't identify our channel at this time. Tell them a friend sent you a video, and you spotted the Warner Brothers Sniffles the Mouse S&P set for $29 in the last cabinet, right side, down from their checkout counter, I believe. It looks like a sticker says, "Key 15". I hope that is helpful. They are in with lots of other Disney S&P sets. Thanks much for watching and writing! It is at Antiques Minnesota Inc.

Hi Maria! Thank you for watching our video! We are glad you enjoyed seeing things at that mall. There was so much more, expensive items, in locked cabinets that we aren't as interested in, mainly because they are very expensive. It would have taken a lot of time to film all of that fancy stuff. I just like looking at the things mostly on open shelving there that are affordable. We wish you a blessed week ahead! ;-)

Hi Jillene! Thank you for watching our video! We are glad if you enjoyed that mall. Thank you, too, for mentioning you love my geese and swans! ;-) We wish you a blessed week ahead!

Hugs and prayers, Debra, for God's comfort and healing. We're so sorry to know that about you. Forgive us if you shared it earlier, and we've not remembered. Life is so difficult with chronic pain. I, too, have quite a bit of that, which makes me lose strength from inactivity. It can be depressing. I know that there are so many who have much worse pain daily than myself. It can be hard for others to grasp and understand. We thank you for sharing your very difficult situation. It's so kind of you to let us know that we can give you some time to be distracted with the videos. I do have times when I question my interest in keeping up our channel. It is a daily job because I'm slow and very particular about our content. Your message makes us grateful to learn we can bring some joy to you and others who are suffering in ways or have too much stress in their lives. We are very blessed by our holy Father 🙏 to have our abilities at our old age. Thank you again, Debra, for your kind words and may He bless you in some ways each day. Much love from us both.❤️

I'm sorry for your pain. Thankfully, one of God's healing gifts to us is the peace and joy of companionship-even vicariously through the web. Peg's voice is very soothing to listen to, and the vicarious pleasure of walking through a myriad of charming vintage things is a blessed distraction. May God bring you healing.

Hi Kathy! Thank you for watching our video! We are glad if you enjoyed that mall. We wish you a great week ahead! ;-)

Hi Gloria! Thank you for watching our video! We are glad if you enjoyed that mall and our crazy joking. We wish you a great week ahead! ;-)

Hi Mehri! Thank you for watching our video! We are glad you enjoyed seeing things at that mall. We wish you a blessed week ahead! ;-)

Hi Jill! Thank you for watching our video! We are glad you enjoyed seeing things at that mall. The August Angel was adorable. Early "Happy Birthday!" to your son! My mom was also born in August on the 17th. We miss her. I agree, Russian items I've seen have always been colorful and fun. I'm sorry that I didn't react better to the sweet horse. I meant that I felt sorry for the peaceful Russian people who don't have any say to stop the aggressive wars. We wish you a blessed week ahead! ;-)

Hi David! Thank you for watching this on Saturday! We are glad if you enjoyed that mall. Have a great week ahead! ;-)

Hi Christine! Thank you for watching our video on Saturday! We are glad if you enjoyed that mall and seeing the cute tomato S&P's. ;-) We wish you a blessed week ahead!

Hi Carol! Thank you for watching our video! We are glad you enjoyed seeing that mall. It definitely has a lot of expensive things locked in glass cabinets. We are very familiar with those expensive items, so I don't bother much to look in them. I wander along the edges where there's a lot of open shelving and more average priced items. I'm sure everyone would enjoy us panning those middle pricey cabinets just to see vintage items, but it would have taken a very long time to film all that. The back of the store has less expensive items too. Thanks again for writing to us! We wish you a blessed week ahead! ;-)

Hi! Yes, we absolutely feel terrible about the war on Ukraine! I was referring to the peaceful people in Russia having a horrible dictator that they can't manage to overthrow. I feel sorry for them and many other countries in the same situation. I certainly wasn't saying anything to support that evil regime!

Hi Rob & Lisa! Thank you for watching our video! We are glad if you enjoyed seeing what we decided to show. We may visit there only a few times a year. I haven't seen a lot of change. But I usually find something reasonably priced. Thanks much for writing. Hi from Norm. He's doing pretty good, so he's trying to do a lot of things outdoors to keep up this place. He tends to overdo it and then he has a lot of pain by evening. I'm always appreciative that he wants to tackle so many things by himself considering his age. This morning he was experiencing numbness and tingling in his fingers because he overdid some repair of our front steps at the threshold. He was caulking and sealing a big space that opened (from settling) with a fancy weather stripping or trim piece of some sort that he found at Menards. It looks nice, but it's easy to hurt your wrist and hand tendons doing stuff like that. :-( He's always been a hard worker, like both our dear dads. We hope you two are enjoying your summer. Have a great week ahead!

Hi Oscar! Thanks so much for watching our videos and taking the time to write to us! We're glad you enjoyed the aluminum tree! 😊 Have a great July, and we look forward to hearing from you again. ❤️🤍💚

Hi Kay! Thank you so much for your sweet messages all year! 🤗 We hope your 4th was memorable and wish you a blessed July. ❤️🤍💙

Hi Becky! Thanks so much for watching our video and writing your fun message❣️ Yup, you have a strong constitution, too!😁 Those were the good ol' days. We hope you are having a lovely holiday weekend. 🇺🇸❤️🤍💙🇺🇸

Hi Sheila! Thank you so much for your sweet message.❤️ I'm sure it's been difficult to be without your father. It took me 2 years to get past the grief with losing each parent.😞 I'm looking forward to seeing them again, though.

That's a fun memory that your father loved smiley faces!😊 We wish you a blessed holiday and all of July.
