In this final episode of Season 2, Bex shares her experience as a vendor at her first-ever in-person vintage market, the Mid-Century Modern Show and Sale in Calgary, Alberta. Bex describes how nervous she was beforehand and how much preparation goes into a market booth, from sorting inventory to pricing all items for sale. From setting up her booth, friendly fellow vendors, curious customers, and all the things she learned that she didn't know she didn't know, this episode is a walk-through of Bex's first vendor experience. And it was a good one.One of the first things Bex learned was to get in fast and early to allow enough time to think about the display, sort and pack inventory, and price everything. She didn't sign up until a month prior to the show, so she welcomed a friend's help in preparing. Setting up her booth the night before gave her a crash course in clever and creative booth design. Her takeaway was to think vertically and invest in shelves for her next show. Bex relays how neighbor vendors helped ease her nerves, stories of customer encounters, the Pyrex colors people seemed most interested in, and why it was such a great experience for her that she wishes she'd done it earlier. If you missed Bex at this market, she has three more coming up throughout the summer. Thank you for joining Season 2 of Pyrex With Bex. Season 3 is coming soon, and she hopes you'll be with her for those episodes as well. —Contact Rebecca Scott | Pyrex With Bex: Website: PyrexWithBex.comInstagram: @pyrexwithbexWhatnot: PyrexWithBex—TranscriptBex Scott: [00:00:02] Hey everybody, it's Bex Scott and welcome to the Pyrex with Bex podcast, where you guessed it, I talk about vintage Pyrex, but also all things vintage housewares. I'll take you on my latest thrifting adventures, talk about reselling, chat with other enthusiasts about their collections, and learn about a bunch of really awesome items from the past. Subscribe now on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you love listening to podcasts so you don't miss a beat. Hey everybody, this is Bex Scott and you are listening to the Pyrex with Bex podcast. As promised, this is the episode to end season two, where I'm going to talk to you about my experience at the Mid-Century Modern Show and Sale. It happened April 12th in Calgary and it was the most amazing vintage market I have ever been to. This was my very first experience being a vendor at a market for vintage and I have to say, it was incredible. I wish that I had had the courage to do this before, with this hobby and the side business that I have selling vintage, but that was a lesson that I learned that I love doing markets. They are very stressful and a lot of work, but I think as you do more, it will probably get easier. So this one was in Calgary at the Hillhurst Sunnyside Community Center, and I signed up probably just over a month before it happened, so I didn't have a ton of time to prepare. It might seem like a lot of time, but one of the things I learned is you need to get in there fast, early, so that you have time to think about your display, pack all of your inventory, sort, price everything. Bex Scott: [00:01:50] So I think I started pricing about three weeks or four weeks, let's say four weeks before, and I had a lot of inventory. I went through all of my boxes in my basement. There were probably 30 banker's boxes of vintage items. And knowing that this was mid-century modern, a lot of it was the higher end collectible items. Definitely not garage sale items. I'm used to holding garage sales, doing that, this was not that kind of a crowd. So I started going through all of my boxes, and it probably took me about three weeks to sift through everything, decide what I was going to take there, wrap it all up nicely, put what was on or inside each of the boxes on labels. And that was for the non Pyrex items. So that I felt was a little bit easier to do. The tricky part came with sorting my Pyrex and pricing it and going through everything that I had. And I have to say, I didn't know that I was hiding so much of it in my basement. Luckily, my amazing friend Amanda came over and she helped me kind of push through my anxiety and keep me going that day, pricing everything. It took us about 3.5 hours to go through all the Pyrex, and I had a bunch of full sets, a bunch of just random casseroles and bowls, and we sat there and put everything into the set. Bex Scott: [00:03:24] We priced everything. We did it by color. So I had a little sheet that I printed out that said, purple is this price, blue is this price, yellow is this price. One of my main takeaways? Make sure your stickers aren't too sticky. These were the stickiest stickers I have ever experienced in my life, and this is a public service announcement to anybody who bought my Pyrex at that market. I apologize for the amount of Goo Gone or soaking you guys are going to have to do. Please know I put the stickers on the inside of the bowls so that none of the pattern would be affected, and that you could just soak the bowl in the sink. I hope. So, that was my number one learning. Get better stickers. After we put all of the stickers and prices on the Pyrex, I did smarten up and I got tiny little stickers that were a lot easier to remove. So apologies to everybody if you're out there in the world picking my stickers off. Anyway, so we got all of the Pyrex packed up, labeled, and then about maybe 3 or 4 days before I had my son help me load our big Excursion. So it was floor to ceiling packed with everything. Bex Scott: [00:04:44] And this might seem silly, but I was convinced that I wouldn't have enough inventory. I had booked a ten by ten booth, had no idea how big that is because spatially I'm unable to figure out how big that is in my head. That was three tables and two chairs, and I just have to say that I had more than enough, which is kind of embarrassing because maybe next year I might need two booths. But I packed up the Excursion and I live in Innisfail, which is about an hour away from Calgary, so I had to make sure that everything was ready to go because I couldn't come back home to get anything. And the sale is only one day. So I ended up staying in Calgary with my parents. Everything was packed up, ready to go, and then at the last minute, I decided that I needed to make a sign and postcards for myself. Why I decided to do this like three days before, I don't understand, but I think I was procrastinating because I was nervous. So I designed these postcards to promote the podcast and my Instagram. If you're not following me on Instagram, it's at Pyrex with Bex, and I got them all ordered. I didn't factor in having to pick them up in Calgary and I wasn't there. So this is the first time I've ever used Uber as a courier. Let me tell you, it works. It's a little bit over the top. Bex Scott: [00:06:11] It's expensive, but I didn't plan ahead, so that's my fault. And I was punished with the courier expense of having to pick up my signage for the show. But it's really cool if you guys ever need a courier, you just go on to the Uber website and you can book somebody to go into the shop, pick it up for you, and deliver it for you. So it worked really well. Luckily, I had my signage and my postcards for the show. So we get to the night before and they graciously let us set up for two hours and I get there, my parents, they went with me to help me unpack everything, and I was a nervous wreck. Like everybody there had obviously done this before. They all knew each other. Some people I went in and they were already set up. I think I was there like half an hour after the time that you were allowed to set everything up and they were already done. They were good. I was in awe. So I think it took us a good 20 minutes to even figure out how to set the tables up properly, so that people could walk into the booth and see everything. But we were there from about maybe 20 after 8 to 830 at night until 10:00, and got a good chunk of it, set up everything out. I had already done all the price tags, which was amazing. But looking around at all of these vendor booths, they know exactly what they're doing. Bex Scott: [00:07:37] They have amazing vintage shelves. That's another takeaway that I came away with, is that you need height. You need to go vertical with your displays. You can't just have it flat on a table. So for my markets going forward, or if anybody is going to be doing a market, make sure that you invest in some nice wooden shelves. You could even bring furniture to stack things on. It just makes your booth that much more beautiful and easy for people to go through. And it also adds another layer so that you can add more in. So that was my main downfall, I would say. I ran out of space and Pyrex takes up a lot of room. So if you are selling items that are larger, having a bookshelf, furniture, something to go vertically, is a must. But these vendors had beautiful booths. They were set up like they were in an antique mall. They had furniture. They had shelves. They had, there was one booth that had flat boards set up with pegs, and they had dozens of mugs on them where people could just come look at them, pick a mug off the wall. It was brilliant. There's one booth that was set up like a dining room. It was amazing. The vendors sat at the dining room table and you could go in and just look around at all the things on the perimeter of their booth, around the table. Bex Scott: [00:08:57] Other people had great signage. I was really impressed. So I took a lot away in that sense about what to do, what not to do. My booth was stuffed with things, but overall it worked out. So the night before, we're setting everything up and I have to say, the other vendors are so nice. You can tell that they've really built a community around doing these markets, and a lot of them sell, they're vendors at Ella Grace and other vintage malls and markets, and they all kind of go around together and they know each other and they're all very supportive. So I was between two really awesome gentlemen, very helpful. They gave me tips. We were joking around with each other. They helped a lot with the nerves of being a first time vendor, and it was nice to see what some of the more experienced people, what they do throughout the day. So I even made a few sales, which was nice. You go around and you look at the vendor booths and you do some pre-shopping, which is kind of cool. I stayed pretty close to my booth because I was worried about spending too much money because the items were really great, but met some really awesome people. So we went back the day of they opened at seven for vendors to set up until 10:00. And this is where the nerves really hit me. Bex Scott: [00:10:24] I was very nervous. The imposter syndrome was aggressive. I was looking around thinking, I'm not a real collector. Why am I here? My booth isn't set up like it should be. These people have been doing this for years. And then the worry about your pricing sets in, and I don't think I was the only one, because I overheard little snippets of conversations and people going around and looking at what each other had things priced at. People were adjusting their prices at the last minute. I know I definitely was. I was putting stickers over. I'm like, it's too much, it's too much because I had that fear of, you'll remember from my earlier podcasts in season one, I had a garage sale and it was quite the experience. People haggling, they wanted everything for a dollar, but I failed to realize that the people coming into this show are collectors. They respect what you do as a reseller and a collector, and they are looking for pieces to add to their collections in their homes, and they are willing to pay for your time of finding it, cleaning it, researching pricing, and they just genuinely value what you've done. So I was really impressed. I have to say, all of the vendors, all of the customers were very respectful. A few did ask for a better deal, but that was because they were buying in bulk, and that, to me, is totally acceptable. All of my prices I had wiggle room on, so I was expecting people to ask for a deal or ask for a bit of a lower price. And that's all part of the fun of it. But everybody was very respectful. Bex Scott: [00:12:05] So one of the highlights of my experience was a customer that came in, and I think he was well known to the community. He bought this brass horn from somebody and he was honking it for probably a good ten minutes straight. I had no idea what was going on, but you could see all the other vendors kind of giving him looks like they knew who he was, and they were just chirping at him to stop. But he came into my booth and I had these copper candlesticks, and he wanted to buy them. And I said to him, well, I'm glad that these are going to a good home. And he looked at me and he said, you don't know that. It caught me so off guard I said, oh, are they going to a good home? And he just gave me this look and that probably made my whole day. I love it when people come in, they have a good sense of humor and you can joke around with them. But then it got me thinking. You truly don't know where these items are going. They could be going to a very bad home, but that's okay. Wherever they go after, I hope they're being enjoyed. So that was great getting to meet some new people. Bex Scott: [00:13:17] Lots of people were looking for, obviously, pink Pyrex. I had only two casseroles, the Gooseberry casseroles, and they ended up selling the night before the show even started to another vendor. And one of my other takeaways is that I need to look for more turquoise and more pink because, as you would expect, people are asking for those colors and those patterns. And it was really nice to hear some of the stories about why people were looking for the pink Pyrex, and it was mostly because that's the pattern in the set that their grandmothers used. One lady was looking for it because she wanted to remember her grandma, and she was trying to complete her collection. So there was another vendor who had a full set of the Gooseberry Cinderella bowls, and I heard that she sold them for $450. So that is a huge win for her. Amazing. The set is beautiful and I hope whoever bought that, I hope it was the lady who was trying to complete her grandmother's set, because that to me is really special. It was funny because a lot of people who came around, I recognized them from Facebook Marketplace. I do a lot of selling on marketplace, and you get to know a lot of your customers there. You recognize their pictures and they kind of recognize you and tell you about some of the items that they've bought from you and how they're enjoying them. Bex Scott: [00:14:47] There was even a man who came around and he said he was fully renovating his whole house. He gutted it and it was all going to be mid-century modern. So he was coming around and shopping for all of the accessories and furniture that he was going to put in it, which, that would be a dream to me, being able to renovate the whole house, make it mid-century modern. I would probably need an interior decorator to come in and do it because I would be very overwhelmed, wouldn't know enough about the style, how to do it, but that would be really fun. So overall amazing show. I ended up selling probably about half of my inventory, which was way more than I ever expected. The organizer told me that 800 people came through. When you're in the moment and you're just focusing on talking to customers and making sales, it really doesn't feel like that many people because you're so, you're in tunnel vision, but 800 people. Amazing. The next show is in October, so I'm hoping to be a vendor there as well, but I would say I learned a lot. There was also a wonderful woman who came in, and she was known by all of the vendors as well, and she was selling live. I don't think it was Whatnot, but it was something similar. But she set up in my booth for probably 45 minutes, and she was selling my vintage greeting cards to her customers in Beijing. Bex Scott: [00:16:22] So it was all live. She was going through every single card. People were telling her which ones they wanted to buy. She ended up buying a cosmetic case suitcase from me, a Cabbage Patch doll, an awesome throw that had a design from the town of Olds, a really old teddy bear, and a few other things. But I thought it was really cool that me being a Whatnot seller, I've never sold on Whatnot live in a thrift store or at a market. But she was giving her, and I respect what she was doing because she worked hard for that that day. She didn't stop at all. Saw her buzzing between each booth and then going and loading up her car with the items for her customers. She was just the sweetest lady ever, so that's an awesome option, I think that you don't have to have a booth. You can also be on the other side where you're doing a live sale, so that's something I've always wanted to try in Whatnot. I know that it's a bit controversial. People think that it's silly to be selling live and kind of buying things live at a thrift store or a market, but it's another way to make great money, meet some awesome people, and serve your customers live without having to have a full inventory in your basement or in a shop, something like that. So I loved meeting her and seeing that happen as well. Bex Scott: [00:17:51] And yeah, my only regret is that I didn't walk around enough. I walked around to say hi to some of my friends to see how their booths were and how they were doing, but my main focus was on getting through the market because it was my first one, meeting as many people as I could, and just making sure that it all went off without a hitch, went smoothly. I would say that it did. Shout out to the organizers of the Mid-Century Modern Show and Sale. Tracy, you did an amazing job. It was so smoothly run. Everybody was polite, helpful. Customers were great and I cannot wait to do another one. So find me on Instagram @PyrexWithBex or Whatnot, same handle, at Pyrex With Bex. Let me know if you've done any markets, if you have any tips, if you have any coming up. I am doing three more markets this summer. So if you listen to my podcast, feel free to come around and say hi to me. One of them is in Camrose, one is in Okotoks, and the other is a little further north in Alberta. But I hope that you have enjoyed season two of Pyrex with Bex, and I'm very excited for season three to be released. And it is going to be a full season of just interviewing other collectors and resellers. So I hope that you guys will tune in for that. And thank you so much for all of your support. 

Sprinting against Jasper Philipsen, navigating a slippery go-kart track, powering up a climb in Spain trying to put out more watts than three other finalists—those were some of the challenges Noah Ramsay faced this past December as he competed in Zwift Academy for its prize of a spot on the Alpecin-Deceuninck development team. In the end, Ramsay won.The pro road contract marks a big switch in Ramsay's cycling career. For the past few years, cross country has been the focus of the 22-year-old rider. This past fall, he was 11th at the Lake Placid World Cup XCO race and fifth in the short track event at the Mont-Sainte-Anne World Cup. Despite Ramsay's promise on the singletrack, he didn't have a team that could help him further his racing career. In August, a friend of Ramsay's recommended he try out for the Zwift Academy, a talent-identification competition supported by the virtual training platform. Ramsay made it to the finals, which were held in Spain this past December.In this episode of the Canadian Cycling Magazine Podcast, Ramsay tells the behind-the-scenes story of his Zwift Academy win. Also, Ramsay's coach Peter Glassford of The Consummate Athlete gives an account of the rider's talents that have gotten him to the Alpecin-Deceuninck development team. Ramsay looks ahead to his upcoming road season, discusses his hopes for the next few years and muses about where mountain biking might fit in with his new road career.Also in this episode, editors Matthew Pioro and Matt Hansen, as well as feature writer Jake Williams, discuss the men's and women's Strade Bianche, and look to Trofeo Alfredo Binda and Milan-San Remo. For the Classicissima, the focus is more on the women's race, which is back after a 20-year hiatus.

As a kid, Mathias Guillemette would get stuffed into the back seat of his parents car, wedged between a cooler and luggage, bikes all around, his older brother crammed in there too on their way to a Quebec race anywhere from three to seven hours away from their home in Trois-Rivières. There was also time on the velodromes in Bromont and Milton, Ont. During the past few years, Guillemette's competed in some of the world's top track cycling events, including the Track Champions League, where he's won an elimination race, and the Paris Olympics.  This year, Guillemette's cycling career is taking a new direction. He's landed a spot on the Tudor Pro Cycling continental-level development team. At 23, he's a senior rider with some teammates four years younger than him. In this episode of the Canadian Cycling Magazine Podcast, you'll find out how Guillemette, with a little tip from another track cyclist turned roadie, got on to the Swiss team and how his skills on the track might translate to success on the road with the devo team and the ProTeam.This episode of the Canadian Cycling Magazine Podcast is supported by MS Bike.

Bex Scott welcomes guest Dariya from The Thrifty Fox Shop to talk about her love of Pyrex and how many vintage collections she maintains. Bex met Dariya on Instagram and credits her with getting Bex onto Whatnot. They talk extensively about Pyrex, from their favorite pieces to their greatest finds, but as Dariya has an enthusiasm for a great variety of vintage items, there's more than Pyrex to explore in this episode.  Dariya, like many collectors, got into vintage collecting via her mom. She truly leaned into Pyrex around age sixteen and hasn't stopped since. Pyrex and thrifting for vintage items is a family affair for Dariya too, as both her mom and sister are as avid about collecting as she is. She shares some of her most memorable Pyrex finds with Bex and they discuss their most and least loved patterns as well as which Pyrex dish both their husbands manage to explode during use. Beyond Pyrex, Dariya introduces Bex to her love of crewel embroidery, vintage mushrooms, glass animals, lucite flowers, vintage linens, brass, and many more of her very eclectic collections. Dariya's philosophy is to collect what makes you happy and decorate the same way, so tune in to find out just what pieces bring her the most joy in her home. Resources discussed in this episode:WhatnotPink Butterprint PyrexStarburst PyrexAmethyst Viking swung vaseZodiac 475 casserole dishOld Orchard PyrexCatherine Holm turquoise bowlStrawberry Hill pottery mouseWabasso Flower Power floral sheets“Stranger Things” rainbow sheets@ThriftersDelight on InstagramFika Coffee House in Camrose, Alberta—Contact Dariya | The Thrifty Fox ShopInstagram: @TheThriftyFoxShopPoshmark: @dariyasimsEtsy: The Thrifty Fox ShopContact Rebecca Scott | Pyrex With Bex: Website: PyrexWithBex.comInstagram: @pyrexwithbex—TranscriptBex Scott: [00:00:02] Hey everybody, it's Bex Scott and welcome to the Pyrex with Bex podcast where, you guessed it, I talk about vintage Pyrex, but also all things vintage housewares.

And on today's episode, I have my friend and fellow vintage reseller Dariya from the Thrifty Fox Shop. Welcome, Dariya. Dariya: [00:00:43] Hello. Bex Scott: [00:00:44] How's it going? Dariya: [00:00:45] Oh, good. Bex Scott: [00:00:47] Nice. I see you have your awesome Halloween display behind you. Dariya: [00:00:51] I do. We couldn't wait to start decorating for October, so we started in mid-September for decorating Halloween. Yeah. Bex Scott: [00:00:59] That's how my family is but with Christmas. Dariya: [00:01:01] Oh, fair. Bex Scott: [00:01:02] My mom starts decorating the day after Halloween for Christmas, so I've kind of-- Dariya: [00:01:05] -- oh, wow-- Bex Scott: [00:01:06] -- got that Christmas bug from her. Dariya: [00:01:08] Yeah. That makes sense. Bex Scott: [00:01:10] Mhm. So I wanted to start off kind of with how we met. So we met on Instagram. I was following you for a while. And then I came across your Instagram story about your Whatnot show. And it was a Christmas show which is one of my favorite things obviously. And I watched your show got some amazing things from you and you helped me get into the Whatnot selling, which I'm very grateful for that. Dariya: [00:01:37] I actually didn't know that. Bex Scott: [00:01:38] You're the first person I found out about Whatnot through. And you made selling look so easy. And I remember a while back in some of the episodes I was talking about how I thought Whatnot was difficult because you have to be, like, on for an entire hour and talking and kind of, I'm a very severe introvert, so doing Whatnot is kind of stress-inducing. But I've loved it so far. Dariya: [00:02:05] Yeah, once you get into it, then you find yourself more comfortable and stuff. Yeah, because I'm also an introvert and I never thought I'd ever do lives in my entire life. But hey, look at us go. Bex Scott: [00:02:16] Yeah, yeah, yeah. Your one year just passed on Whatnot. And I think mine is coming up sometime soon, so. Dariya: [00:02:23] Yeah. You'll have to do a show. Bex Scott: [00:02:24] Yeah. For everybody listening, come find us on Whatnot. We have an awesome group of Canadian sellers. So how did your Pyrex and your vintage collecting begin? Dariya: [00:02:35] With my mom. She's always, yeah, it's always someone in the family that gets you hooked. Yeah. My mom always loved, like, antiques and vintage. And so, you know, growing up around that. And then I kind of got my own style going, which has changed drastically over the last, like, years. When I started collecting, which was probably when I was 16, I started collecting, I've always like collected knickknacks, like ever since I was a little girl. But Pyrex was when around 16 when I started collecting all the Pyrex and I've never stopped. Bex Scott: [00:03:09] It's good. A good collection you have going. Then for all that time, I. Dariya: [00:03:12] Think of all the stuff I left behind at that time when all the prices were good. So many regrets. Bex Scott: [00:03:17] Yeah, that's what a lot of collectors I've talked to say. Like, if they would have known that, they should have just grabbed things when they saw it. Yeah. Dariya: [00:03:26] And the stuff that I started collecting nowadays and just thinking about what I could have left behind back then. Oh, man. Yeah. Bex Scott: [00:03:35] So your mom kind of got you into it. Does your mom still collect Pyrex? Dariya: [00:03:40] She does. Yeah, and so does my sister. So all three of us collect Pyrex and other collections we kind of share the same love for. So we're either fighting or finding each other stuff. Bex Scott: [00:03:52] Yeah, I was going to say, when you go thrifting together, how do you decide who gets to keep what? Dariya: [00:03:56] Basically, whoever finds it, gets it. Or else if one of us has something, then we'll, yeah, let whoever has it get the first dibs. But it's a competition sometimes, that's for sure. Bex Scott: [00:04:09] I guess I'm lucky that way that I don't have any family competition. If anybody finds anything, they know to just give it straight to me. And I don't have to fight my mom over anything. Dariya: [00:04:19] Well, and whenever one of us starts a new collection, we all get hooked. So then it's like there's no winning. Bex Scott: [00:04:26] That's awesome. Dariya: [00:04:27] Yeah. Bex Scott: [00:04:27] I guess on the flip side, that would be really fun if you had people in your family who you could go thrifting with and kind of had the same interests as you. Dariya: [00:04:35] Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Bex Scott: [00:04:37] Cool. And what have been your best Pyrex finds so far? Dariya: [00:04:42] I think my best one was the two pieces of pink Butterprint at a garage sale and, in Alberta, which you never see pink Butterprint? And it was posted online and I, like, messaged them because it was a bit of a drive and I had like two little kids, so I was like, okay, like I'd love to get these, but would you be able to hold them? Because I don't want to drive there and get there and them not being there. So they held them for me and I paid 60 bucks for two of them, which is high for a garage sale. But like, again, pink Butterprint. Bex Scott: [00:05:13] That's good. Dariya: [00:05:14] Yeah, yeah. So I kept one and then gave one to my sister. Bex Scott: [00:05:18] Lucky sister. Dariya: [00:05:20] I know. Would have been nice if there was three. And then I could have given one to my mom too, but yeah. Bex Scott: [00:05:26] Yeah. Dariya: [00:05:26] No, I think that was, I was trying to, like, wrack my brain and that was definitely one of my best Pyrex scores. Bex Scott: [00:05:33] Yeah. That's really good. Especially at a garage sale. That never happens. Dariya: [00:05:37] And I'm so curious as to how they got the pink Butterprint, because I think it was only for the States and you had to get them through coupons or something? So it's curious to know how they got all the way up to Alberta. Bex Scott: [00:05:50] Interesting. Yeah, I think I found a set of the Butterprint. It was in a Value Village and only one of the bowls was good, but it was still, it was still a good find, right? Dariya: [00:06:03] Yeah, yeah, I'd love to find an orange. The orange Butterprint, but... Bex Scott: [00:06:08] Oh yeah. Yeah. I keep seeing listings through Facebook for them and I'm tempted. Dariya: [00:06:13] But that price tag. Bex Scott: [00:06:15] Yeah like $750, $1000. Dariya: [00:06:18] Yeah. No. Nope. Bex Scott: [00:06:22] Cool. And what would you say is your holy grail piece, if you, you might already have it. But if you don't have it what would it be? Dariya: [00:06:28] I don't actually. I still need that Starburst Pyrex. I was trying to think. Starburst, I kind of have three. Starburst. What's the - Pink Stems. And then this isn't Pyrex, but I really love like, a amethyst. Amethyst, Amethyst, Amethyst I don't know, um, Vikings swung vase. So those are like my three holy grails. Yeah, yeah. But yeah. Do you have a Starburst? Bex Scott: [00:06:54] I don't. Dariya: [00:06:55] I know, like, they're like they seem common enough. But the price tag again is just like, hmm, yeah. Bex Scott: [00:07:02] And you see photos of people who have like ten of them in their collection. Dariya: [00:07:05] Just hand one over to me. Please, please. I did see a Starburst at a antique, at the Antique Mall in Edmonton. Bex Scott: [00:07:13] Oh, yeah. Dariya: [00:07:14] And I think it was like $2,000. So I was like, oh, that was like, look at you from through the glass. Bex Scott: [00:07:19] Yeah. Take a picture. And then just, that's as close as I'm going to get. Dariya: [00:07:22] Pretty much. I was like, I was right beside it, but that's about it. Yeah. Bex Scott: [00:07:26] Yeah. And do you want the turquoist? Turquoist? That's not a word. Turquoise. That's my my 14 year old son, he's infected me. He says turquoist. I'm gonna have to tell him now. He's gonna be proud. Dariya: [00:07:36] Yeah. You know, my husband's always, like, deliberately mispronouncing things. And now I call, like, quesadilla a quesadillo. You know, I'm, like, so dumb, so dumb. Bex Scott: [00:07:47] Try this again. Turquoise. Oh my gosh. Yeah. Do you want that one or, I think there's a cream one, right? Dariya: [00:07:53] I'd probably want the turquoise. Yeah. The cream one's nice, but like. And there's a black one too, I think. Bex Scott: [00:07:58] Yes. Yeah. Dariya: [00:08:00] I mean, the black one would be nice for a Halloween display. Bex Scott: [00:08:02] It would. Yeah. Dariya: [00:08:04] But I would definitely take the turquoise one. Bex Scott: [00:08:06] Me too. Dariya: [00:08:07] Mhm. Just need to thrift one. Bex Scott: [00:08:09] Oh that would be great. Dariya: [00:08:11] Right? Bex Scott: [00:08:11] That would be a start the car moment. I'd push everybody away in the aisles. Give it to me. Dariya: [00:08:16] Yeah. I must go pay for this. Bex Scott: [00:08:18] Yeah. And do you have any favorite patterns outside of your holy grail? Dariya: [00:08:27] I have to say, I mean, I love a lot of the patterns, but my favorite one is the Zodiac one, which is right there. You can see behind me. Yeah. The Zodiac 475 casserole dish. I didn't even know I wanted it, and then my husband surprised me with it for Christmas one year. And it's like, hands down, the best Christmas present ever. Bex Scott: [00:08:48] No kidding. Dariya: [00:08:49] I kind of forgot that there was a Zodiac Pyrex available, so when I opened it up for Christmas, I was so excited. And yeah, it's definitely my favorite. Favorite Christmas gift ever. Bex Scott: [00:08:58] That's a good gift from your husband. He's great at gift giving. Dariya: [00:09:02] Yeah, he did pretty good. They need to make more of the Zodiac line. I'm, too bad that they didn't, but I can see how the gold is kind of hard and. Mhm. Bex Scott: [00:09:11] Yeah. Dariya: [00:09:12] You need that one. Bex Scott: [00:09:13] Are there any patterns that you really dislike? Dariya: [00:09:16] I mean I'm not a big fan of the Woodland Pyrex. I know a lot of people like that. I don't mind the lighter brown one, but the dark brown one is like mmm. And then I'm trying to think, there's another brown one I'm not a big fan of. Bex Scott: [00:09:29] The Old Orchard one? Dariya: [00:09:30] Yeah. Yeah. The Old Orchard one. Yeah. Other than that I'm like, I don't mind any of the other Pyrex, but the Old Orchard one just grinds my gears. Bex Scott: [00:09:40] Yeah. It's weird. Dariya: [00:09:42] Yeah. And I know some people like to exclusively collect that one, but I'm like, no. Bex Scott: [00:09:47] It must have been, I don't know, it would be interesting to get in the mind of whoever designed that one because-- Dariya: [00:09:54] Right? Yeah. Bex Scott: [00:09:55] Maybe the colors on its own without the design on top would be kind of okay? Dariya: [00:10:01] But yeah. Yeah, it's that design. I wouldn't mind it so much without the design. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Bex Scott: [00:10:09] And do you use your Pyrex is a big question for collectors. Dariya: [00:10:12] I'm like 50/50. I use, I have Pyrex, my Pyrex cupboard of items that I use and then my display Pyrex, which is like usually the harder to find or harder to replace pieces I display only. And I don't let my husband or children touch. But yeah, you got like those workhorses people call them. Yeah, I use those and I use my Autumn Harvest set of mixing bowls quite frequently. But yeah. So I'm like 50/50 split. Bex Scott: [00:10:43] That's how I am as well. I have my pink cabinet that I've actually started to take pieces of it out to let my son, he made banana bread with it yesterday. Dariya: [00:10:56] Oh, nice. Bex Scott: [00:10:57] He was very gentle, which is good. Dariya: [00:10:58] Yeah. Yeah. I've had a few Pyrex explode in the oven, so I'm like, definitely not my, can't put my favorite pieces in the oven. Yeah. Yeah. But I could display with like cookies or something in them. Bex Scott: [00:11:14] Mhm. I brought home a Bertha, I can't remember which one it was, but my husband used it on the stove top. Dariya: [00:11:23] Oh no. Bex Scott: [00:11:23] And I told him to take a video of himself cooking. I didn't know he was going to use it on the stove top. It was going to be like a cooking kind of Pyrex thing. Yeah. And it blew up in the video, and he was doing some kind of roast with wine. And it, in the video, I have to find it and put it on my Instagram. Dariya: [00:11:41] You will. Bex Scott: [00:11:42] I know I've talked about it before, but red wine exploded everywhere, all over the ceiling, all over the walls. And he called me and he's like, I did something bad. Dariya: [00:11:53] Very bad. It was the Big Bertha for me too, but in the oven that exploded. So there must be something with those big Bertha's. Bex Scott: [00:12:03] Yeah, because they're just too big. Dariya: [00:12:05] Yeah, and it was, like, pristine condition, too. And, like, I couldn't find any flaw in it, so there must have been just like, some kind of, like, small little hairline crack somewhere or something that I just couldn't see. And yeah. So that's wild that it, but worse for you. Because everywhere, like, at least it was contained in the oven for us. Bex Scott: [00:12:25] Luckily he had it all cleaned up by the time I got home. And then I was able to find another one like a week later. Dariya: [00:12:32] Oh thank goodness. Because yeah, I'd be like, I'm not cleaning that up. That was on you. Bex Scott: [00:12:35] No, no. That's like a hazmat level. Bring somebody in. Clean every surface. Wine everywhere. Dariya: [00:12:42] Yeah. Yeah, totally. Oh my goodness. Bex Scott: [00:12:46] What else do you love to collect? I know on your Instagram you have the best taste and your photos are amazing. I always like creeping to see what you have new for me to buy. Dariya: [00:12:58] I start a new collection somewhere or something. I wrote, I wrote down some of my collections because I was like, I'm going to forget. And even this isn't even all that I collected. There's so much more. But I think, oh, here we go. So I have, I put too much first of all, and then I collect, vintage crewel embroideries, anything like vintage mushroom, like Merry Mushroom, any kind of any groovy mushroom thing. Vintage glass, like swung vases and like glass animals I've kind of starting to get into. Vintage pottery, Lucite flowers, linens, vintage Halloween and Christmas. Vintage brass. Lefton pink poodle chef. And I could go on and on, but like, that's like the main ones. Bex Scott: [00:13:45] Yeah. Dariya: [00:13:45] But yeah, like, there's so many. Like any MCM groovy thing I can get my hands on, which is so hard to find where I am. Bex Scott: [00:13:53] Yeah. No kidding. Especially nice mushroom stuff. I have the worst luck finding it, and whenever I do, it's very overpriced. Or it's broken. Dariya: [00:14:06] Yeah, yeah, I usually I, yeah, rarely do I find something in the wild anymore. I usually have to buy something for my mushroom collection. Yeah. Oh. Bex Scott: [00:14:16] And you, what's the word, you crewel. Is that how you say it, you crewel? Dariya: [00:14:20] Crewel? Yeah, I know my husband always jokes that I'm so cruel to my crewel. I'm like, funny dad joke. Bex Scott: [00:14:29] And how long have you been doing that for? Dariya: [00:14:32] I'm trying to. I think I want to say when the pandemic started is when I really started taking it up. And I bought a few kits online to try, and then, yeah, I was just hooked. So that would have been, what, like five years? Six years? No, four years. Four years ish. So four years I've been doing it and yeah, I, I love it. And then I got my mom into it and my sister tried, but she doesn't have the patience for it. So I just make crewels for her. She buys me kits and then I do them up for her. But it's nice because I have like followers that like, keep an eye out for crewel kits for me and I'll, they'll mail them to me and it's awesome. Bex Scott: [00:15:14] That's fun. Yeah. It's like your own little personal shoppers. Dariya: [00:15:18] Yeah. They're like, I found this and I thought of you immediately. I was like, perfect. I will take it. Thank you. Bex Scott: [00:15:26] I started a crewel last year and I still haven't finished it. Dariya: [00:15:32] I know it's, sometimes I like don't pick it up for a couple days and then I'm like, I need to get back into it. Yeah. Bex Scott: [00:15:39] Okay. And what would you say is your all time favorite piece of vintage that you've thrifted? Dariya: [00:15:44] A Catherine Holm like Turquoise Bowl, and it's probably like the nine inch one for $1. It was like years ago, probably like seven years ago, but it was like my best find ever. And it was sitting in the thrift store window. It was like a small town thrift store, and I could see it from the outside. And I was walking in with my sister in law, and I basically pushed back past her, and I was like, I gotta go, I gotta go, and I grabbed it and yeah, it was a dollar. Bex Scott: [00:16:13] Oh, wow. Dariya: [00:16:14] I've never, ever thrifted another Catherine Holm or found one like for that price in the wild before. It was crazy. Bex Scott: [00:16:21] And did you keep that? Dariya: [00:16:21] And in amazing shape. Oh, yeah. Yeah. It's upstairs in my room. I'm like, I don't think I could ever part with it just because it was such a good deal. Bex Scott: [00:16:27] No kidding. Dariya: [00:16:28] Yeah, Bex Scott: [00:16:29] I have never. I don't have any Catherine Holm because I'm too scared to start that collection because it's so expensive. Dariya: [00:16:36] I guess I should say I do have a Catherine Holm collection too, and it is expensive, but I've, like I found. Well, I guess this isn't a thrift find, but it kind of is, it was on Etsy and from a shop in France. I got the green shaker canister sets from Catherine Holm for $20. Bex Scott: [00:16:57] Wow. Dariya: [00:16:57] Yeah. And the shipping for here was only $30, so it was like 50 bucks for the set. And usually those are like a couple hundred at least. And it was a brand new in the box, too. They had never been used. So. Bex Scott: [00:17:08] Do you think they just didn't know what it was? Dariya: [00:17:11] I think so because most of their stuff in their shop was like teacups and like plates and like that kind of stuff. So this was kind of like something wholly different for them. And it was labeled like enamel shaker set. Bex Scott: [00:17:23] Oh, yeah. Dariya: [00:17:24] Or spice set. Yeah. So I was like, oh, wow. And it had been listed for months too. And I just must have searched the right thing. And it came up and I was like, okay, add to cart. And yeah, they were in pristine condition when they arrived. And so that's another Catherine Holm score I had. Bex Scott: [00:17:40] That's amazing. Dariya: [00:17:41] Apparently I get some scores with the Catherine Holm. Bex Scott: [00:17:43] I need your luck. That'd be great. Yeah. I think back to how many things I've sold over the years that I probably didn't know what they were, and somebody got an amazing deal. Dariya: [00:17:54] Right? Yeah, I think about that too, especially in the early days of reselling, like, oh. Bex Scott: [00:18:01] Why are 20 people contacting me all at once for this bowl? Oh. That was a mistake. Dariya: [00:18:07] Yeah. But like, I'm not going to be one of those people who, like, say, oh, I'm going to raise the price. Like, I'll sell it for what I listed it for because that's my loss that I didn't research enough. But I hate it when some people say, yeah, it's available, you can come pick it up and then like an hour later, they're like, oh, apparently I can get more for it. So now I'm starting a bidding war and I'm like, oh no. Bex Scott: [00:18:27] That's so shifty. Dariya: [00:18:29] Yeah, it is. Just is. You got to honor that price you give because that's your mistake. Bex Scott: [00:18:34] Yeah, yeah. There's somebody that did that around my area with some mid-century lamps. And they were the really nice tall ones with, like, the atomic looking. Dariya: [00:18:44] Oh, yeah. Yeah. Bex Scott: [00:18:45] What's it called lamp pole? Yeah, but that's not. It's not a... yeah. Yeah and I wanted to buy them, and then they didn't get back to me, and they were relisted for like, 100 something dollars instead of 20. So. Dariya: [00:19:02] Yeah. Of course. Yeah. Yeah. That's so annoying. Marketplace sucks for that. Bex Scott: [00:19:07] It does. It's a fun hunt still, though. Dariya: [00:19:10] So it is. Yeah. Yeah. There's still gems to be found. Bex Scott: [00:19:12] Yeah. What would you say you know the most about in all of your collecting journey? Dariya: [00:19:21] Probably Pyrex, because it's the oldest collection I have. And then crewel embroidery and vintage linens would be like second. But I'm slowly learning more and more about vintage glass and how many different, like, vintage glass. Like whether it's Scandinavian or American glass. I'm still slowly learning more about that, which is kind of my goal, because there's just so much to learn about and know about. Same with, like, pottery. Vintage pottery. Bex Scott: [00:19:52] Oh, yeah. Dariya: [00:19:52] Canadian pottery. There's some really great pottery pieces out there, so I'm kind of starting to learn more. Watch some, like Whatnot pottery shows and like, learn more about the designers and stuff. So that's like kind of my goal to learn more about vintage pottery and glass. Bex Scott: [00:20:10] That's something that I've wanted to learn about as well, because I see so much pottery when I go thrifting. And then I look at the bottom and there's some artist signature, and then I get overwhelmed and yeah, I can't Google Lens it, so I give up. Dariya: [00:20:24] Yeah, yeah. Same. So I'm like I try and go with my gut. Sometimes my gut like is wrong and I leave something behind. And then I'm like, I shouldn't have left that. But yeah, but yeah, if it's nice and cute I'll still buy it. Just got to imagine if it's going to stay in my house for a while or if it's going to go. Bex Scott: [00:20:41] Yeah. Dariya: [00:20:42] Yeah. But Strawberry Hill Pottery I'm really liking. Bex Scott: [00:20:46] Oh yeah I think I've seen that. Dariya: [00:20:47] Their designs are gorgeous. Yeah, I got a mouse off of Marketplace. Cute. And then I found a bluebird on Whatnot, and it was, like, only $10 on Whatnot, so I was like, oh, I'll take that. Bex Scott: [00:21:01] Yeah, I'll have to look that up. Bluebirds, all the little, the Lefton and the Norcrest bluebirds. Dariya: [00:21:09] Yeah. You'd like this one because it's really pretty and it's kind of got that Bluebird vibe. Bex Scott: [00:21:15] Nice. And you mentioned vintage linens. I love vintage linens as well. Dariya: [00:21:20] I know I bought some many a linen from you. Bex Scott: [00:21:26] Oh, it's always exciting when you find the really brightly colored, like, great condition ones. I see so many that are faded or you think they're good, and then you start opening them and there's weird stains and holes, and... Dariya: [00:21:38] It's because they always have them in their garages. I go to a garage sale and they've got the pretty Wabasso sheets hung over their like, garage furniture, and I'm just like, I'll buy that. Like, I really like that. And I'll say like, oh, I use that on my bed right now. And they're like, why? I'm like, yeah, that's it's cute. Bex Scott: [00:21:55] Yeah, I'll buy your painting dropcloth that's on your garage floor. Dariya: [00:22:00] Exactly. Like how dare you? They're just looking at me like I'm crazy. Yeah. I have so many linens. Bex Scott: [00:22:09] And do they have specific pattern names? Because I don't know a lot about them. But are there patterns that are more sought after or...? Dariya: [00:22:17] Usually like the brand. Like, I know there are pattern names, but I can't remember off the top of my head, but like Wabasso like with the groovy floral daisies and stuff like that. And they come in different color schemes and in the rainbow. I can't remember the brand, but the rainbow, 80s rainbow sheets, they got really famous after Stranger Things. Bex Scott: [00:22:37] Right! Yeah. Dariya: [00:22:37] Yeah. So those are always like pretty sought after and higher end items. But yeah, I always just, anything groovy-ish, floral, like a rainbow, I always grab and my closet is overflowing with linens. But I use them and they're great. Honestly, they're great sheets. Bex Scott: [00:22:58] Mhm. I remember finding a set at the Salvation Army and I took them up to the till and the lady was like, why would you want to buy these? I remember these from when I was a teenager and they're so ugly. I was like, well thanks. Dariya: [00:23:11] Yeah. But not everyone thinks they're ugly because people are still buying them. Bex Scott: [00:23:15] Yeah, I'm going to use these and I'm going to love them. Dariya: [00:23:17] Yes. Give them a life. And I like how people upcycle with them, too, even if they're, you know, they may not be perfect to use anymore on the bed, but like, they can upcycle and make bags out of them and stuff, so it's great. Bex Scott: [00:23:29] Yeah. Or the, I asked my mom if she could take an old vintage towel and make, like, shorts or a hoodie for me, I love that. Dariya: [00:23:39] I bought a vintage towel shirt from someone in Calgary and it's so awesome. Like, and it's so cute and comfy in the summertime too. And yeah, I've even seen, like, bucket hats. Bex Scott: [00:23:50] Oh, that would be nice too. Dariya: [00:23:52] And there's someone on Instagram, I think it was Thrifters Delight on Instagram who took towel scraps and glued them to her vans. So then they looked like towel shoes. Bex Scott: [00:24:03] That's awesome. Dariya: [00:24:03] They're, and it was like, I'm not making it sound great, but it's like amazing looking. Like, you'll have to look it up too. I want to try that someday. Bex Scott: [00:24:12] Yeah. I saw somebody on Instagram who took old, like, Disney duvets and made them into little jackets. Dariya: [00:24:19] Yeah, like little puffer jackets and stuff. They're like $350. I need to be talented enough to sew myself, but I am not. Home Ec was not my strong point. Bex Scott: [00:24:31] Neither. No. Oh, yeah. I remember doing Home Ec with my friend and her sewing machine caught on fire, and I think that was the end of it for me. I was like, nope, I'm not sewing. Dariya: [00:24:41] Yeah, yeah. No, I would not either. Well, that was with me and IE class like first day teacher left me with the bandsaw and I nearly sliced my finger off and I had to go to the hospital and get stitches. Bex Scott: [00:24:53] Oh that's scary. Dariya: [00:24:54] I never went back into that class again. I was exempt. Bex Scott: [00:25:00] Almost lost a limb. Exempt. Dariya: [00:25:02] Yeah, yeah. They're like, she's not allowed in there. Bex Scott: [00:25:05] Yeah. Oh, and do you decorate your house with your vintage finds? Dariya: [00:25:12] Oh, yes. My husband built me a bunch of, like, floating shelves for the living room. So I have, like, six shelves, and they're honestly, they're, like, filled to the brim, but they look good. Bex Scott: [00:25:22] That's amazing. Dariya: [00:25:23] And, yeah, like, all my walls, I have, like, a mushroom gallery wall and, yeah, everywhere and anywhere I can get a little collection in and it's kind of fun too, because while I buy finished crewels, I also do a lot of the kits up myself, so I'm slowly adding to my wall each year. So it's like kind of like I can be proud of the decor because it's kind of something I'm doing on my own. So yeah. Bex Scott: [00:25:49] That's awesome. Dariya: [00:25:50] Yeah, it changes every year. Bex Scott: [00:25:52] Yeah. And then you can see the progress you've made, especially with the crewels. What it started off with and then... Dariya: [00:25:57] Yeah, I was like, oh I can't believe I did that at the beginning. Oh yeah. Bex Scott: [00:26:05] And how have you found reselling so far? I know that you've been reselling for quite a while, right? Dariya: [00:26:12] Yeah. When my first son was born, I kind of started not too long after he was born, I want to say, yeah, a few months. I just, like, I've always, like, loved buying vintage and then I kind of caught the bug to do a bit of reselling. And since I wasn't working anymore, it was kind of my way of like, earning my own money because, I mean, it was like, obviously my husband's money is my money too. But I wanted like, my own little squirrel nest for fun money and stuff like that. So that's kind of how I started. And I've just, yeah, I've really enjoyed doing it. It's been pretty good. I mean, it always has, I notice, like, it slows down and then it gets busy again. And, but that's kind of how I roll too, because I just list and post when I have the time. So, yeah, Christmas time is always nice and busy. Bex Scott: [00:27:04] Yeah. And it's fun finding all the little gifts you think people would like to buy in the Christmas decor. Dariya: [00:27:10] Yeah, yeah. I've had a couple times where I don't, I don't know if I pronounce this right, but Aritzia? Or is that, did I say that right? The clothing brand? Well, they bought some brass pieces from me, so. Bex Scott: [00:27:24] Oh, really? Dariya: [00:27:24] So I ship it to them. So that was fun. Bex Scott: [00:27:26] That's really cool. Dariya: [00:27:27] Yeah. I've always wanted, like, a movie set or something to buy something for me. So I was like, I'll take this. Bex Scott: [00:27:31] That's awesome. Dariya: [00:27:33] Yeah. Bex Scott: [00:27:34] I had a movie set buy an ice bucket from me once. Dariya: [00:27:37] Ooh that's exciting. Bex Scott: [00:27:38] And I can't remember what show it went into. It was a Netflix show, but that was the only thing that went somewhere else. Dariya: [00:27:45] Still so exciting. Yeah. Yeah. Bex Scott: [00:27:50] Nice. And where can people find you to buy your items? Dariya: [00:27:55] Instagram. Etsy though I'm kind of solely, just I think I'm going to slowly be closing up on Etsy soon and focusing on other areas. I started on eBay and then Whatnot, of course, and Knickknacks as well. Starting kind of there. It's a lot. Yeah. Bex Scott: [00:28:14] Yeah. I signed up to sell on knickknacks, and I haven't done anything with it yet. Dariya: [00:28:19] Yeah, I've done a couple shows. It's great, but it's just, yeah, one more thing for me to try and balance. So, I mean, once all the kids are in school and stuff, I can focus a bit more on online. But, yeah and then I do a few markets. I co-host a vintage market a couple times a year at Fika Coffee House in Camrose. We have like a backyard market. So yeah, you should come do it sometime. Bex Scott: [00:28:42] Yeah, I would love to. Dariya: [00:28:42] We have one this Saturday, so that's our last one of the year. And then I do an occasional market in Edmonton as well, but I'm mostly online for now. Just works perfectly for my schedule. Bex Scott: [00:28:54] Yeah. Yeah. Online is great. I, usually I started with Facebook Marketplace and then went to Whatnot and Poshmark and I used to sell a ton on Poshmark and I've kind of just let it die off. But I've gotten a few sales lately that were just out of the blue. Maybe I should go back on there. Dariya: [00:29:17] I know, yeah, like I get a random sale or two on Poshmark, but I'm like not too focused on it anymore, but it's kind of where I put like my last chance items, I guess. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but I'm enjoying eBay, actually. I don't know why it took me so long to try it out, but yeah, I had a vintage toy collection on consignment. So I was like, well, I'll try eBay because that kind of seems like the place to do it. Bex Scott: [00:29:41] It's good for toys. Dariya: [00:29:42] And it's been, yeah, it's been good, so I'm liking it. Bex Scott: [00:29:45] I might have to pick your brain about eBay, because I've always been too scared to try it out. Dariya: [00:29:49] Yeah. Me too for some reason, I don't know why. And it's actually really easy. So. And yeah, so I think I'm going to start moving my Etsy listings over to eBay and close out my Etsy shop. Yeah. Bex Scott: [00:30:01] So is your handle the same across all platforms? Thrifty Fox Shop? Dariya: [00:30:06] Yeah. Yeah. Bex Scott: [00:30:07] Perfect. So everybody can find you on all of those. Dariya: [00:30:10] Yes, exactly. Make it easy. Bex Scott: [00:30:14] And do you have any closing remarks or tips or tricks for people who want to get into vintage collecting or reselling? Dariya: [00:30:24] For reselling I say like, focus on the things that you're passionate about, because again, when you're reselling, you can tell whether you're passionate about something or if it's just something that you just picked up to sell, and it makes a difference. And because I always, I'm very picky about what I buy to resell, because I have to like it myself in order to resell it, so I'm very picky that way. But then it kind of like makes you form your shop personality, right? So you're known for selling this or, you know, mid-century modern items or kitschy items or, and you don't have to stay within those parameters, but like, that's like the main focus. And I think that helps a lot too, in gaining followers. Bex Scott: [00:31:08] Yeah I agree. Dariya: [00:31:10] Yeah. And for collecting I, honestly just collect what you love. Like some people say that they want to stay in a certain like type, like boho or, you know, and I'm like, I'm all over the place. I'm mid-century modern, I'm kitschy, I'm boho. I'm like all kinds of different. And so it's just like, collect what you love, decorate how you love to decorate. Like, I always get like, oh, but like, what about the resale value of your house? And I'm like, I don't care. Bex Scott: [00:31:38] Yeah, this is what I love. I'm going to do it. Dariya: [00:31:41] Yeah. This is what makes me happy and I'm going to paint my house a certain color to match my vintage decor. And it's, yeah, that's, I don't know why people have to live in a box and not decorate or anything. Just. Bex Scott: [00:31:53] Yeah, exactly. Dariya: [00:31:54] Decorate how you want, buy what you want. You'll be happy for it. Bex Scott: [00:31:59] I agree with all of those points. Yeah, yeah. Perfect. Well, thank you so much for being on the show today. And everybody make sure you go find Dariya on all of the platforms she mentioned at the Thrifty Fox Shop. Dariya: [00:32:15] Awesome. And I'll see you on Whatnot again. Bex Scott: [00:32:17] Yes. Sounds good. Dariya: [00:32:19] This Sunday actually. Bex Scott: [00:32:20] Yeah. It's coming up fast. Dariya: [00:32:21] Yeah. Got to get prepared.

Chad Hughes invites James Thurston, a longtime friend and experienced land agent, to the show to discuss insights on their generation and its alignment with the industry. James Thurston reflects on his journey, emphasizing the importance of networking and building relationships during his time in the land agent program. He shares how chance and curiosity led him to the field, working on the Alliance pipeline and later in various locations across Western Canada.James explores the unique characteristics of his and Chad's generation, shaped by a lack of parental presence during childhood, fostering resilience, self-sufficiency, and a nomadic mindset. He highlights the generation's ability to adapt to industry changes, particularly during the boom in coal bed methane, and how they navigated through subsequent challenges like the 2008 financial crisis and the fracking revolution. Despite the positive traits, James acknowledges the downsides, such as reluctance to ask for help and potential loneliness.Chad and James touch on the evolution of the land agent role, from individual well projects to centralized pad locations and a shift to Crown land. James emphasizes the importance of adaptability and problem-solving in the ever-changing industry. Their conversation reveals the unique characteristics of their generation and its impact on their successful navigation through the dynamic landscape of land agency.“... if I didn't know the answer, I really made a conscious effort to seek it out. And it was a lot harder back then. As you remember, we didn't have the internet like we do now. We didn't have access to information, but I did have a large network of friends from Olds. And, you know, I leaned on that. … we had to all kind of learn from each other, you know, there was a lot of talk. There was a lot of consensus. There was a lot of sitting at a table and working things out and bouncing ideas off each other and really being open to that idea that not every problem has a simple solution.” - James ThurstonAbout James Thurston:For nearly 23 years, James has journeyed through Western Canada acquiring land and overseeing large-scale acquisitions. His path started in Camrose, Alberta, where he joined a small but busy land broker. Over the course of five years, he dedicated himself to acquiring hundreds of upstream projects. It was a time of growth and development, both personally and professionally. But when the call of opportunity beckoned, James found himself in Calgary. There, he took on the role of an in-house landman at Penn West overseeing large-scale drilling programs in West Central Alberta. As the company underwent transitions, James recognized the need for a new path and that journey brought him to Shell in 2014. He's been able to leverage his skills and knowledge and enjoy a successful career at Shell during an ever-changing time.James is also a proud husband and father of four young children who keep him on his feet and have helped him grow as a person and as a project manager and landman.---Chad Hughes | CEO, Entrepreneurial Leader, Author: website |linkedinJames Thurston | Discipline Lead, Surface Land, Shell Canada: website | linkedin

Expanding transit access for low-income Albertans Good day ladies and gentlemen, this is IRC news and I am Joy Stephen, an authorized Canadian Immigration practitioner bringing out this special edition of Immigration news from Provincial News, Alberta. This news was released by the government on 26/09/2023. I am coming to you from the Polinsys studios in Cambridge, Ontario. Today is the 27/09/2023 Many Albertans rely on public transportation to help them get to work, appointments and attend recreational activities. To help combat high inflation, Alberta's government introduced additional funding in February to provide low-income Albertans with more affordable access to transit service. In addition to Edmonton and Calgary, 10 Alberta communities have low-income transit passes. With this additional funding and to reduce financial barriers to transit, low-income Albertans in Camrose, Hinton, Leduc, Lethbridge, Red Deer and Spruce Grove will now be able to apply for a low-income transit pass.

Join us as we talk to a local Leah Serna who owns Studio Nine Yoga Studios in Camrose To Leah Marie Serna, yoga involves being devoted to living a life of self-discovery, to be willing to look inward and to experience the freedom of a peaceful and joyful existence.   Leah's 'IN' to yoga opened up 30 years ago, when she began to awaken to self-healing and inner connection. She was introduced to Hatha yoga and meditation during an extended stay at Muktananda's (Gurumayi's) ashram in the sacred Tansa Valley in India, and maintained this sense of connection over the years through her continuing yoga practice. She has also attended many Vipassana 10-day courses in Merritt, BC and Alberta to explore the depths of meditation more intensely.   Leah has trained to a 500 hr teaching level and has been teaching yoga exclusively for the past 7 years.     Nutrition goes hand-in-hand with yoga (she also graduated as a Certified Holistic Nutritional Consultant from the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition in 2011) and trained for 300hrs as a Yoga and Ayurveda Wellness Consultant.   Leah was born and raised in Alberta (Sherwood Park and then Ferintosh), and in her child raising years, she lived on the West coast of BC for 20 years (16 of which she lived on Bowen Island with her husband, 2 boys and 2 step-children). Five years ago, she and her family moved back to Alberta, and feel happy to be back on the prairies under the big skies. Currently Leah is co-owner, studio manager and is teaching yoga classes at Studio Nine in Camrose, Alberta.    Thank you forlistening to our podcast.

Kyler Kupka grew up in Camrose, Alberta, which is about a three-hour drive to the north of Calgary. He grew up working on a family farm and his dad built a pretty cool outdoor rink for him every year that was so close that Kupka brought a toaster and bread to the warming house. His twin brother did not play hockey, but both his older brother and father played hockey, though Kupka has played at the highest levels among them. Kupka was off to a great start this season (2 goals, 6 assists in his first 8 games) when he had to go in for an appendectomy. He could not skate for three weeks, but has come back and is having the best season of his career. Kupka talks about all of this and helps preview this weekend's playoff series against Minnesota Duluth with The Rink Live's Mick Hatten on this episode of the Huskies Hockey Insider podcast.

In 2015, he was named the 11U ‘AA' Player of the Year, and followed that up with the 13U ‘AA' honours in 2016 and the 13U ‘AAA' in 2017. The Camrose product added another one to his mantle this November by picking up the 2022 18U ‘AAA' Player of the Year Award, after torching Baseball Alberta Elite League pitching with a .505 batting average with the Red Deer Carstar Braves. He followed that up with a great performance with the silver medal-winning Team Alberta at the Canada Summer Games. Galenza, who moved to Red Deer to join Jason Chatwood at St. Joseph High School Academy, now has his sights set on the next step of his baseball journey with the Colby Community College Trojans, where he already has a semester under his belt. We caught up with the 5-foot-8, 190-pound catcher this week to talk about it all, including getting some baseball life advice from 2022 MLB Draft Pick and Alberta's own Matt Coutney.

He welcomes patients from all over the South Edmonton area including Terwillegar South, Magrath Heights, Twin Brooks, Haddow, Windermere and Riverbend just to name a few. Many of his patients travel in from Leduc, Beaumont, Devon, Spruce Grove, Stony Plain and even as far as Edson, Whitecourt, and Camrose!Dr. Sunny's education included: University at Buffalo Dental School 2005; University of Florida Orthodontic Fellowship 2006; University of Minnesota Orthodontic Residency 2008; and University of Alberta Nursing 2000-2001.Fun facts about Dr. Sunny: Dr. Sunny was raised in North Edmonton and attended Queen Elizabeth High School.

In fact, he and his wife got married there 3 years ago.In his spare time, you can often find him on the golf course, trying to improve his game!DescriptionDentists diagnose, treat, prevent and control disorders of the teeth and mouth. They work in private practice or may be employed in hospitals, clinics, public health facilities or universities. Dentists may specialize in such areas as oral and maxillofacial surgery, orthodontics, pediatric dentistry, periodontics, endodontics, prosthodontics, oral pathology, oral radiology or public health dentistry.Job ForecastOver the 2016-2018 period, employment growth in this occupational group was substantially above the average for all occupations. The unemployment rate fell to reach 0.9% in 2018, a rate slightly below its long-term trend and significantly below the national average of 5.8%. However, the large majority of workers in this occupation are self-employed (87%), which explains the low unemployment rate. On the other hand, the number of usual hours of work has remained very stable over the past years, a characteristic that is different from the downward trend observed for the overall Canadian labour market. Hence, analysis of key labour market indicators suggests that the number of job seekers was sufficient to fill the job openings in this occupational group.Employment RequirementsThis is what you typically need for the job:One to four years of pre-dentistry university studies or, in Quebec, completion of a college program in sciences and A university degree from a recognized dental program are required.Licensing by a provincial or territorial regulatory body is required.Dentists in general practice can move into a specialized practice through advanced training.Licensing for specializations is required.Need More?Check out our Career Crisis Interview Series: https://thejobtalk.com/help

Every town deserves a big, first class music festival, especially the small towns.  That's what Keynon Ternovoy always thought growing up in St. Paul.   When a promotion to show appreciation for the agriculture industry in Camrose reunited him with family friend and international country music recording artist, Brett Kissel, the idea for one was cemented in Keynon's mind.  With an eclectic post secondary education that includes marketing and business administration to an English literature degree to radio and television arts diploma to pursue a career in TV sports broadcasting, Keynon spins a great story that all helped him to create the annual Centerfield Music Festival, St. Paul has come to enjoy.  His love of his hometown and the people in it is a driving force behind this endeavor and is one of many reasons Keynon Ternovoy is completely interesting!

When it comes to benzo withdrawal, all roads lead to anxiety. Anxiety is not only the most persistent and pervasive symptom of withdrawal, but it's also the catalyst which makes all the others worse. In today's episode, we learn about this mysterious emotional juggernaut called anxiety. What is it? What causes it? Why is it worse in withdrawal? And most of all, what can be done to help ease it? We also have two benzo stories, several news items, and a welcome message to the caregiver. https://www.easinganxiety.com/post/anxiety-the-beast-of-benzo-withdrawal-bfp009Video ID: BFP009 Chapters 00:00 Quote00:40 Introduction07:05 Mailbag13:04 Benzo News18:03 Benzo Stories: Intro19:43 Kathy's Story24:02 Jeff's Story31:30 Feature: Anxiety in Withdrawal47:08 Closing  Resources The following resource links are provided as a courtesy to our listeners.

Anxiety and Its Disorders. 2nd ed. New York: The Guilford Press, 2002.Helliwell, J., R. Layard and J. Sachs. World Happiness Report 2017. New York: Sustainable Development Solutions Network, 2017. http://worldhappiness.report/#happiness2017.  Introduction In today's intro, we opened with the quote from Kierkegaard, which I've reprinted below: And no Grand Inquisitor has in readiness such terrible tortures as has anxiety, and no spy knows to attack more artfully, choosing the instant when you are weakest, nor knows how to lay traps where you will be caught and ensnared, as anxiety knows how, and no sharp-witted judge knows how to interrogate, to examine you as anxiety does, which never lets you escape, neither at work nor at play, neither by day nor by night.— Soren Kierkegaard, “The Concept of Dread,” 1844 I followed that up with my pleasant surprise at the increase in likes of the Benzo Free Facebook page and how rapidly it has been increasing. And then I jumped into a welcome message for the caregiver. I wanted to let all of the listeners know that this podcast was as much for them as it was for the patient, and to share a genuine thank you for all they do. We also have some interviews coming and I'll start the first one this weekend. And I closed by mentioning that this episode will probably run a little long, which it did.  Mailbag This is where we share questions and comments which were discussed: Did you use any nutritional supplements during your taper and withdrawal?This question was submitted by Jill. I don't have a clear answer for this one since I cannot recommend medication nor supplements nor give such advice. My experience during withdrawal includes B12 supplements prescribed by my doctor since my levels were low, kefir milk which helped my stomach for a while, and I was able to discontinue my stomach medication, again per doctor's instruction. A normal healthy diet which includes generous amounts of fruit and vegetables and a source of protein and fats (from meat or vegetables), and not too much pure sugar or “junk foods,” provides all the nutrients a person needs. There is no general need for dietary supplements or extra vitamins or minerals or for “detoxifying” measures. All these can be harmful in excess. — Prof. Ashton, The Ashton Manual COMMENT from Kathryn, in Camrose, Alberta, CanadaKathryn shared her concerns about a comment I made in a previous episode where I stated that I was “grateful to Dr. Ashton for my sobriety.” Kathryn voiced her concern that the term “sobriety” made it sound like I was referring to addiction. I was not trying to imply anything with that comment and stated that I understood the issue around certain terminology and benzo dependence. I also stated that even if someone is dependent and addicted to benzos, whether they got them on the street or from a prescription, that they are just as welcome here as anyone else.  Benzo News Here are the news articles shared in today's podcast: The Deadly Worst-Cast Scenario for America's Xanax ObsessionThis article highlighted the difficulties in Scotland when the government tried to crack-down on benzodiazepines. It includes an interview with Dr. Christy Huff of the Benzodiazepine Information Coalition (BIC). “The Deadly Worst-Case Scenario for America's Xanax Obsession” by Maria Szalavitz on published on Vice.com“Yes, Benzos Are Bad For You” by Dr. Allen FrancesI wanted to bring this article from 2016 back to the attention of the listeners because it is one of the best articles, written by a top-notch U.S. psychiatrist, which lays out the danger and damage caused by benzos. “Yes, Benzos Are Bad For You” by Dr. Allen Frances published on HuffingtonPost.comWhich Misused Prescription Meds Send Americans to the ER? A recent report by US News and World Report states that benzodiazepines such as alprazolam (Xanax) and lorazepam (Ativan) are “most commonly implicated in health crisis that lead to an ER visit, followed by prescription opioids.” Of the 360,000 ER visits researchers identified which involved misuse of pharmaceuticals, “benzodiazepines were the primary prescription drug in 47 percent of cases.”“Which Misused Prescription Meds Sent Americans to the ER?” by Dennis Thompson published on U.S. News and World Report  Benzo Stories I shared two stories today. One from Kathy in Windsor, Colorado and one from Jeff, in Winfield, Illinois. Jeff's story was the first one submitted to us in audio format, so it was a pleasure to hear him share it in his own voice.  Feature Today's featured topic: Anxiety: The Beast of Benzo Withdrawal Today's topic is all about anxiety and we spent a lot of time on it. It is the first in our series on symptoms, and I thought anxiety was a great place to start. In the episode, I discussed an intro to anxiety and shared possible causes. Then I moved onto anxiety in benzo withdrawal, and closed out with a section on how to ease the burden of anxiety.  The PodcastThe Benzo Free Podcast provides information, support, and community to those who struggle with the long-term effects of anxiety medications such as benzodiazepines (Xanax, Ativan, Klonopin, Valium) and Z-drugs (Ambien, Lunesta, Sonata).
