Today, Bex Scott takes us back in time to the days of the 1950s housewife. An article from the New Zealand Herald in 2018 shared a vintage 1950s article on how to attract men and Bex dives into it with us to see how many, if any, of the old tips are valid. Take a trip in Bex's time machine and learn, from different articles, how to find a husband, how to keep him happy once married, and how to keep looking pretty for this coveted man. How cringe-worthy is this article by today's standards? Join Bex to find out. Modern dating often involves online dating so in fifty years we may look back on this era and find it extremely cringe-worthy as well. For now, 1950s sensibilities are on glorious display in this vintage article. The article was originally published under the title 129 Ways to Get a Husband in McCall's magazine and was aimed at women who weren't married by the ripe old age of seventeen. The suggestions range from simple - “walk a dog” - to baffling - “read the obituaries to find eligible widowers”. Of course, snagging a husband is only half the battle. Once married, he has to be kept happy. Those suggestions, from a 1950s Home Ec book, range from the expected - “have dinner ready when he comes home” - to the old school - “arrange his pillow and offer to take off his shoes”. Deep dive into the mind-blowing world of 50s husband hunting with Bex.Resources discussed in this episode:“Husband Hunting: Cringeworthy 1950s article advises women on how to attract men” NZ Herald, November 7, 2018—Contact 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. 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. On today's episode, I wanted to go into a topic that interests me and I'm sure interests quite a few of you as well. It's the 1950s housewife. So we just got through the holiday season. We're in January now. By the time you listen to this episode, it's probably going to be way past that. But over the holidays, I always like going through cookbooks, reading old magazines, and learning a little bit more about the 1950s and 1960s and doing some research. And this past holiday season, I came across a bunch of really good recipes, articles and books. But one in particular that I wanted to talk about today was based off of an article from a while back. It was actually published on November 7th in 2018, in the New Zealand Herald. And the title was Husband Hunting, Cringeworthy 1950s Article Advises Women on How to Attract Men. And this headline caught me right after I read it. Bex Scott: [00:01:50] I had to go through online dating before I met my husband. Dated a whole bunch of really interesting guys, not so great guys. Just ask anybody in my family. I was very lucky to find my husband and now not have to worry about how to attract a man, as this article title says. But I always find it very interesting to learn about what women had to do, or what was kind of expected of them in that time period with beauty, with how they were supposed to act, etiquette in general, and kind of what the world expected of women in the 1950s. And I think this article sums it up perfectly. So I'm going to go through it with you. And they have the actual article from, so they wrote about it in the New Zealand Herald, but they also have the 1950s article in full here that I will read for you. And I think you guys are going to get a kick out of some of it and probably cringe at most of it, but I'd love to know what you think after this episode. Bex Scott: [00:03:02] Okay, so they start off by saying a magazine from the 1950s features a cringe worthy advice column for single women on how to attract men. The article, headlined 129 Ways to Get a Husband from the American magazine McCall's, includes hilarious and bizarre tips where most would never be used in this era, I'm sure. Photos of the advice column were posted on Facebook, with the post quickly becoming viral. So this is in 2018. The post had been shared over 13,000 times and had caused widespread controversy, quickly racking up more than 4600 likes and thousands of comments from shocked and amused users. The feature, aimed at women who weren't married by 17, was created with the help of 16 people who used a brainstorming technique to see if they could come up with fresh ideas on how to find a husband. The first 30 pointers reveal where to find him, giving single women creative tips on how to run into their potential new husband. This section includes advice as simple as get a dog and walk it to very cynical ideas like read obituaries to find eligible widowers. Bex Scott: [00:04:16] Okay, so there's 13 different numbers here that they've listed on where to find your husband. Number one, get a dog and walk it. Number two, have your car break down at strategic places. That sounds very sketchy to me. I would not advise this in 2025 at all. Number three, attend night school, take courses men like. Okay. Number four, join a hiking club. I know many people, I have many friends who've actually done this and met some very nice men. So a hiking club is not a bad number here. Number five, look in the census reports for places with the most single men. Nevada has 125 males for every 100 females. Number six, read the obituaries to find eligible widowers. That is crazy. We're not going to do that. Number seven, take up golf and go to different golf courses. Okay, that could be a solid go-to. Number eight, take several short vacations at different places rather than one long one at one place. Number nine, sit on a park bench and feed the pigeons. Number ten, take a bicycle trip through Europe. Mm. That sounds very romantic and not realistic to find a man on a bicycle trip. You never know. I've known people who've met their significant other on a nice European trip. Number 11, get a job in a medical, dental or law school. Number 12, become a nurse or an airline stewardess. They have very high marriage rates. Number 13, ask your friends husbands who the eligible men are in their offices. Bex Scott: [00:06:10] Okay, so the next piece of advice is how to let him know you're there. Giving women cunning ideas to get a man's attention. Okay, so here are all 41 of the ways to let him know you're there. So feel free to try any of these if you'd like. Okay. Be nice to everybody, they may have an eligible brother or son. Get a government job overseas. Forget discretion every once in a while and call them up. Carry a hat box. I wonder what that would do now? Probably not too much. If you carried a hat box, people would be wondering what was in the box. Make a lot of money. Okay. Learn several funny stories and learn to tell them well, but make sure you don't tell them to him more than once. Walk up to him and tell him you need some advice. Dropping the handkerchief still works. You could do that with a Kleenex, but I highly doubt that a man is going to pick up your Kleenex. Have your father buy some theater tickets that have to be got rid of. Don't let him fish for your name the next time you meet. None of this guess who stuff. Bex Scott: [00:07:35] Next, single women are given advice on how to look good to him. Suggesting what cosmetics and items to wear. Get better looking glasses. Men still make passes at girls who wear glasses. Or you could try contact lenses, number 49 advises. Wear high heels most of the time, they're sexier. Unless he happens to be shorter than you, another pointer said. Okay, so here we go, continuing on. If you're at a resort, have the bellboy page you. Buy a convertible. Men like to ride in them. Learn how to bake tasty apple pies. Bring one into the office and let the eligible bachelor taste it. Laugh at his jokes. If there's a wallflower among the men you know, why not cultivate him. Oh cultivate the flower? For all you know, he may be a diamond in the rough. Accidentally have your purse fly open, scattering its contents all over the street. I don't think I'd want any, no, no, I don't want anybody knowing what's in my purse. Not that there's anything bad in there, but probably a lot of Pyrex. No, I'm kidding. I didn't have Pyrex back in the day in my purse. Bex Scott: [00:07:35] Okay. How to look good to him. So this is the next section. Men like to think they're authorities on perfume. Ask his advice on what kind you should wear. Practice your drinking with your women friends first. If you dye your hair, pick a shade and stick to it. Tell him he's handsome. Take good care of your health, men don't like girls who are ill. That's an obvious one. If you look good in sweaters, wear one on every third date. Dress differently from the other girls in the office. Get a sunburn. What? Watch your vocabulary. Blah blah blah. Oh, my gosh, that's a great word to stumble on. Watch your vocabulary. There we go. Go on a diet if you need to. What? When you're with him, order your steak rare. Don't tell him about your allergies. Oh, great, so he can try and kill you. That's a good one. European women use their eyes to good advantage. Practice in front of a mirror. Buy a full length mirror, and take a good look before you go to greet him. What does that mean? That's rude. Change the shade of your stockings and be sure to keep the seams straight. Get the fresh scrubbed look by scrubbing. If he has bought you any trinket or accessory, wear it. Use the ashtray. Don't crush out cigarettes in coffee cups. Polish up on making introductions. Learn to do them gracefully. Don't be too fussy. Stick to your moral standards. Don't whine. Girls who whine, stay on the vine. Bex Scott: [00:10:29] Okay. So in the final part of the feature, the magazine provided women guidance on how to land him. Tips ranged from ask him for her recipes to find out about girls he hasn't married. Don't repeat the same mistakes they made. Okay, here we go. How to land him? Listen up everyone. Show him you can have fun on a cheap date but don't overdo it. Don't let your parents treat him like a potential husband. Ask your parents to disappear when you're entertaining. Double date with a gay, happily married couple. Let him see what it's like. Tell his friends nice things about him. Send his mother a birthday card. Ask his mother for her recipes. Talk to his father about business and agree that taxes are too high. Well that would, yeah, that would work with my dad. He enjoys talking about taxes and politics. Buy his sister's children an occasional present. On the first date tell him you aren't thinking of getting married. What? How is that helpful? Don't talk about how many children you want. If he's a fisherman, learn to scale and clean fish. Don't tell him everything about yourself at the start, hold something in reserve. When you're out strolling with him, don't insist on stopping at every shop window. Don't tell him how much your clothes cost. Learn how to sew and wear something you've made yourself. Don't gossip about him. Never let him know he's the only one even if you have to stay home 1 or 2 nights a week. Wow. Don't be a pushover when he's trying to make a date. Very early in your dating, why not get a favorite song that you both regard as your own? Find out about the girls he hasn't married. Don't repeat the mistakes they made. Don't discuss your former boyfriends. That's a good one. If you are widowed or divorced, don't constantly discuss your former husband. Be flexible. If he decides to skip the dance and go on the lake, you go, even if you're wearing your best evening gown. Hide your Phi Beta Kappa key if you own one. Later on, junior can play with it. Oh. That's cute. Turn wolves into husband material by assuming they have honor. Resist the urge to make him over, before marriage that is. Learn where to draw the line, but do it gracefully. Remain innocent, but not ignorant. Bex Scott: [00:13:04] If all else fails, the magazine offered a section Wild Ideas, Anything Goes, which included tips such as get a hunting license and advertise for male co-owner of a boat. Okay, so we are still in the section of how to land him. Okay, a few more here. Make your home comfortable when he calls. Large ashtrays, comfortable chairs. Learn to play poker. If he's rich, tell him you like his money. The honesty will intrigue him. Wow. No, don't do that now. No. Never let him believe your career is more important to you than marriage. But on your first date, you're supposed to tell him that you're not interested in getting married. This makes no sense. Buy him an amusing or particularly appropriate present every once in a while, but don't make it too expensive. Clip and mail him a funny cartoon that means something to both of you. Oh my gosh, I thought they were going to say clip a piece of your hair. Oh, okay, we're still safe. Don't tell dirty stories. Stop being a momma's girl. Don't let him think he'll have in-law trouble even if you know he will. Point out to him that the death rate of single men is twice that of married men. Wow. That's subtle. Okay, here are the Wild Ideas, Anything Goes. Go to Yale. Get a hunting license. If your mother is fat, tell him you take after your father. If he's fat too, tell him you're adopted. Oh my gosh! Wow. Stow away on a battleship. Rent a billboard and post your picture and telephone number on it. Paint your name and number on the roof and say give me a buzz, pilots. Start a whispering campaign on how sought after you are. Sink at a fashionable beach at high noon. Ride the airport bus back and forth from the airport. Bribe ferris wheel operator to get you stuck on the top of a ferris wheel. Stand on a busy street corner with a lasso. Carry a camera and ask strange, handsome men if they would mind snapping your picture. Ask your mother to take in male boarders. What? Wow. Make and sell toupees. Bald men are easy catches. That's terrible. Advertise for male co-owner of a boat. If you see a man with a flat, offer to fix it. Is that before or after you're breaking down in different places around the city like they mentioned before? If you see a man with a flat, offer to fix it. Okay, said that one. Carry a tow chain in the trunk of your automobile. Let it be known in your office that you have a button box and will sew on bachelor's loose buttons. Don't marry him if he has too many loose buttons. The end. Bex Scott: [00:15:56] Okay, so that was the article, and I actually only read the first few lines of it and waited to read it on the podcast, so I'm pretty shocked about a lot of those. Oh my gosh. Okay, so after digging deep into that topic, I thought it would be fun to talk about how once you've found your husband, how to look after your husband. So this is from a 1950s Home Ec book, and it's an article clipping, kind of in the same vein as the other article. But you've already landed your husband, you're married, and now this is what you have to do to keep him happy. Okay, so number one, have dinner ready. Plan ahead even the night before to have a delicious meal on time. This is a way of letting him know that you have been thinking about him, and are concerned about his needs. Most men are hungry when they come home, and the prospects of a good meal are part of the warm welcome needed. Number two is prepare yourself. Take 15 minutes to rest so you'll be refreshed when he arrives. Touch up your makeup, put a ribbon in your hair and be fresh looking. He has just been with a lot of work weary people. Be a little gay and a little more interesting. His boring day may need a lift. Clear away the clutter. Make one last trip through the main part of the of the house just before your husband arrives, gathering up school books, toys, paper, etc.. Then run a dust cloth over the tables. Your husband will feel he has reached a haven of rest and order, and it will give you a lift too. Bex Scott: [00:17:41] Number three. Prepare the children. Take a few minutes to wash the children's hands and faces if they are small. Comb their hair and if necessary, change their clothes. They're little treasures and he would like to see them playing the part. There's definitely been a large number of times where my husband comes home from going out somewhere, and our two year old is just running around in a diaper. So I would have already failed this number here. Next, minimize all noise. At the time of his arrival, eliminate all noise of washer, dryer, dishwasher, or vacuum. Try to encourage the children to be quiet. Be happy to see him. Greet him with a warm smile and be glad to see him. Some don'ts. Don't greet him with problems or complaints. Don't complain if he's late for dinner. Count this as minor compared with what he might have gone through that day. Make him comfortable. Have him lean back in a comfortable chair. Suggest he lie down in the bedroom. Have a cool or warm drink ready for him. Arrange his pillow and offer to take off his shoes. Speak in a low, soft, soothing and pleasant voice. Allow him to relax and unwind. Listen to him. You may have a million things to tell him, but his arrival at home is not the time. Let him talk first. Make the evening his. Never complain if he does not take you out to dinner or to other forms of entertainment. Instead, try to understand his world of strain and pressure, his need to come home and relax. The goal? Try to make your home a place of peace in order where your husband can renew himself in body and spirit. Wow. Okay. Thank goodness times have changed because I think I failed a good number of those points. Bex Scott: [00:19:35] Next up is the beauty schedule for busy young wives. So this was an interesting one because I know that well, it kind of depends on what type of beauty you're interested in, self-care, if you're interested in a lot of makeup, if you like to get your hair done frequently. It depends on your beauty rituals and routines on how you'll see this one but I don't do a lot in terms of hair and makeup. I'm pretty easy that way. So this was, I read through this schedule of the week and it was definitely interesting for me. Okay, so it says can you look your most attractive at a moment's notice? The secret is to have a weekly beauty plan like the one we outline here. 30 minutes or less a day is all the time it takes to keep you at your prettiest and ready for holiday partying anytime your husband says the word. Okay, here we go. Monday. A facial helps you start the week with a bright outlook. First, cleanse your face well with cream. Then apply a mask to your throat and face, being careful to keep it away from your eyes. This stimulates surface circulation and tightens pores. Remove the mask following directions on package about time and method. You'll feel and look fresher. Tuesday. Because you're on your feet so much, treat yourself to a pedicure and foot exercises. Only way pedicure differs from a manicure as you file toenails straight across. Easier on stockings and discourages ingrown nails. While your polish dries, spread and clench your toes by picking up marbles or roll a small bottle back and forth with the ball of each foot. Bex Scott: [00:21:25] Wednesday. Use a razor, depilatory wax or abrasive to de-fuzz your legs and underarms. Remember, this is a feminine must all year round. Not in the winter. Just kidding. Not really. And don't forget your eyebrows. Use tweezers to eliminate stray hairs and give a clean look. Follow the natural outline of your eyebrows for most flattering results. To complete the job apply a mild, soothing antiseptic. Thursday. Shampoo your hair or, if it doesn't need washing every week - every week, wow - give your scalp a thorough, relaxing massage. Before washing, brush your hair well. Then apply shampoo. Work up a good lather and scrub your scalp with your fingertips or a brush. Rinse well. Towel dry, again massaging scalp. It's a good time to wash your comb and brush too. Definitely if you're not even washing your hair once a week. Friday. Fit your weekly manicure into the day schedule. This includes shaping your nails, pushing back the cuticle, and applying polish. First a base coat, then two coats of colored polish topped with a sealer coat. Before starting assemble all the items you will need. Use a flat working surface to speed up the job and achieve a neater and smoother results. And last we have Saturday and Sunday. Reap the rewards of time well spent during the other five days of the week, and brush up on any grooming details that you find require a little extra attention. Now you know that with only a few minutes warning, you can step out looking and feeling your best. Above all, your husband will be more encouraged to suggest last minute plans. Bex Scott: [00:23:09] Well, that last article has made me realize how much I need to step it up during the week. I need to have my weekly beauty regimen. No, I don't think I'll go that far into things. But that is what I found for this episode on the 1950s housewife. How to find your man, how to keep him happy after you've married him, and how to keep yourself looking pretty for your man. So I would love to hear your feedback about what we just went through. Do you agree with parts of it? Do you think it's all crazy? You can find me on Instagram at Pyrex with Bex. I would love to chat with you. Thanks, everybody.

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.

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. 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.

In BaT Podcast Episode 84 Alex interviews the overwhelmingly knowledgeable Kim Barnes, who is the business development manager for vintage tire fitments at Michelin as well as a concours judge, car and motorcycle collector, and all-around friend of BaT. They talk about her love of cars as a child of the '60s and '70s, stemming in no small part from the split-window Corvette driven by her aptly named second-grade teacher, Miss Passion; keeping an AMC Gremlin trading card for decades until finally acquiring the real thing; starting a Schwinn bicycle restoration business in her mother's townhouse at the age of 12; daily driving an MGB GT for 350k miles; the highly effective, at least for one teenager, automotive product placement in Charlie's Angels; starting out on the auto show circuit at 16; being forced to take Home Ec instead of auto shop in school; the importance of mentoring young people; meeting her husband on a blind date predicated only by their mutual car enthusiasm; her path to her dream job at Michelin; fightin' words about stock vs modified tire sizes; a deep, deep dive into the various ranges of classic tires offered by Michelin; a simplified explanation of the main difference between bias-ply and radial tires; getting into concours judging via her own restored Sunbeam Alpine; tracking her Buell Thunderbolt; and skipping right to the top of the 964 heap. <span data-mce-type="bookmark" style="display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;" class="mce_SELRES_start"> </span><span data-mce-type="bookmark" style="display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;" class="mce_SELRES_start"> </span> The full episode is linked above—or you can listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Hey Full House Fans, Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast. Today, I'm continuing The Not So Great Of Season 8 (IMO) Series with S8E16: Air Jesse, which aired on February 7, 1995. In this episode, after being recruited by D.J. to play in a charity basketball game, Jesse gets tips from Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Jesse CANNOT make a basket and knows nothing about basketball. What the heck! He played 2 on 2 with Danny, Joey, and Cousin Steve in Season 1. Did 7 years of knowing how to play just disappear? Kareem takes pity on Jesse, because apparently if you're a grown man you should automatically know how to play basketball. No way Nick Katsopolis wouldn't have taught his son how to play, he knows about baseball. He would know about this sport too. Jesse finds his magic sweet spot on the court that guarantees a basket every time the ball comes near it. He just wants his son's to be proud of him. Newsflash they already are, because you're their dad. Also in this episode as a side plot Stephanie makes a horrendous looking blouse in Home Ec and gives it to Becky after she assumes Becky loves it. This blouse is a hodge podge nightmare come to life, multiple buttons of various sizes here, there and everywhere. No article of clothing needs that many buttons. EVER! Becky trying to spare Steph's feelings with her honest opinion wears the blouse out of guilt to a charity basketball game (which Jesse and the boys are playing in) when a reporter/fan/stalker of Becky shows up to snap a photo for her scrap book or which ever paper she claims to work for, Becky's true feelings about the blouse come out when Becky realizes her picture wearing the blouse with be on every door step in San Francisco, I mean she's a co host of Wake Up San Francisco, she has an image to project and protect, viewers only see her in blazers and matching slacks or dresses, top of the line WUS approved apparel, heaven forbid she wear something that screams fashion police nightmare outside of work. Kimmy still 7 years later (See Season 1 Just One of The Guys Season 1 for example) cannot keep her hands off the players butts (she's their coach) apparently both DJ and Kimmy are hosting this basketball charity event to raise money for a cause of some kind. Crazy pants episode for sure. Join me next week when I cover the last episode in this Series, Full House S8E20: Up On The Roof, which aired on March 14, 1995. In this episode D.J., wanting to do an elaborate senior prank, lifts her principal's car onto the roof of the school using a crane; Becky offers to teach Michelle to cook. Have a great week everyone! I hope you enjoy the Podcast Episode!

When most people think of home economics, they imagine women baking muffins and caring for practice babies. But in this throwback episode, we're learning that the field was much more than just “stitching and stirring.” It was an empowering way for women to gain respect and recognition. Journalist and author Danielle Dreilinger joins V for a look back at the history of home economics and how it shaped American culture. We'll hear about the personal lives of home economics women who decided to either stay at home or join the workforce. Plus, what role HBCUs and science universities like MIT played in creating this field, and how unsung economists of color helped push the movement forward.  Follow Danielle on Twitter at @djdreilinger.

Back when I was in middle school, we took a survivalism class. It was called home ec. All girls had to take it. The boys took shop. We learned to sew and cook; they learned to change their oil and hammer a nail.  We should never have dropped those mandatory classes. Now we have young parents who can't cook a potato or change the oil in their car.

Peg Wagner owns and operates Above and Beyond Window Design out of her home, working with mostly designers. She fabricates window treatments, pillows, cushions, and roman shades, as well as sells hard treatments. Peg has a bachelor's degree in education with a major in Home Ec. (Back in the day when they called it that.) Sewing was in her background. In 2008, while working part-time in a design store she was introduced to CHF academy. It was near Charlotte NC and her next-door neighbors had just moved to Charlotte. Peg took the opportunity to go and take 3 classes while staying in the evening with her former neighbors. She was hooked from day one and her only regret is that she didn't know about this industry sooner. Peg has met the most amazing, dynamic, generous women at the CWC conferences and classes. Before that, she was a “stay-at-home” mom of 2, while helping with her husband's business as a sales rep in the ski and outdoor industry. His office was at home and he traveled to the states of MI, IN, and Ohio. Peg was able to manage the office while kids were in school and then take them to sporting practices and events when school was out. Peg and her husband live in Traverse City, MI and have 2 grown children and 6 grandchildren, 4 of which live one house away from us. Peg knows that is most grandparents' dream come true and does not take that for granted. In her free time, she likes to mountain bike, road bike, ski, and hike. Peg feels it's super important to have an outlet to stay physically active so we can keep doing the things we love to do.   Links and Resources; CWC    The Sew Much More Podcast is sponsored by;   The Workroom Channel   Scarlet Thread Consulting   The WCAA   The Curtains and Soft Furnishings Resource Library   Merril Y Landis, LTD   Angel's Distributing, LLC   National Upholstery Association

Danielle Dreilinger is the North Carolina Storytelling Reporter for the USA Today Network and the author of The Secret History of Home Economics: How Trailblazing Women Harnessed the Power of Home and Changed the Way We Live, which was published in 2021. Prior to researching her book, Danielle covered the charter school movement for NOLA.com. In this episode, Danielle discusses her book and the surprising impact that the home economics movement has on the way we live today. Danielle also shares home economics impacts on public education, from paving the way for free school lunches to teaching generations of students about food safety and home maintenance. We then dive into the future of home economics classes and how they might be poised for a resurgence given the rising importance of social-emotional learning and students' interest in sustainable living. Danielle can be reached via Twitter at @djdreilinger or through her website at thedailyreason.com. Superintendents interested in learning more about home economics should reach out to the American Association of Family and Consumer Sciences (https://www.aafcs.org/) which has chapters in every state.Subscribe to SchoolCEO at SchoolCEO.com for more advice, stories, and strategies for leading your schools.

How do we support our young people in becoming independent, thriving, adaptable, confident learners? How do we encourage them to develop a sense of their own agency and shape their lives, rather than having their lives dictated to them? And what is the role of schools in creating capable, responsible adults -- not just high-stat students who achieve academically but struggle to “adult” beyond the classroom?The impact of the college admissions race on students and schools is becoming increasingly clear. While students pursue an ever-growing number of advanced courses, impressive extracurricular achievements and other “resume-builders” to boost their chances of getting into top colleges, educators and parents are taking stock of the other skills that seem to have fallen by the wayside. Is the pursuit of academic excellence at all costs leading to a generation of students who don't know how to handle the basic tasks of adulthood? Julie Lythcott-Haims, NY Times bestselling author of “Your Turn,” “Real American,” and “How to Raise an Adult,” joins New View EDU to shed light on how our current concepts in education may be inadvertently restricting students' growth.In this episode, hosts Tim Fish and Lisa Kay Solomon talk with Julie about her personal concept of “rooting for humans” and her investment in helping all people thrive. A former dean at Stanford, Julie shares how her own observations about the emerging harm of helicopter parenting led her to begin exploring how young people suffer when they're deprived of opportunities to develop agency, self-determination and problem-solving skills. She urges school leaders to consider how responsibility and care for the community can be infused into the school experience from the youngest ages, rather than left as “community service hours” check boxes for older students to complete. And in the wake of the pandemic, Julie encourages all adults to reconsider their definitions of both service and success -- understanding that no child can be considered to have “failed” when confronted with a global crisis, and that for many students, stepping up to help at home to fulfill a need may have been the highest form of service possible.More deeply, Julie examines the ways in which true inclusion and care for every student make a stark difference in the educational landscape. Who “matters” in each school and classroom, and how can educators examine the evidence presented to them that shows which students feel seen and which don't? What can educators do to commit to creating school cultures where each and every student feels that they matter deeply to someone? And how can school leaders ensure that everyone within their communities understands, commits to and lives the values upon which the school is founded, using those values to invest deeply in relationships that uplift every person?Some of the key questions Tim and Lisa explore in this interview include:What opportunity currently exists for school leaders to let go of practices that don't serve their values, and embrace changes that do?How do we design schools to deliberately embrace relationship-building and connection as core concepts, not secondary to test prep and rigor?In what ways might we be able to redefine concepts like SEL and service learning to become more joyful, integrated and internalized, and less performative?How can schools create cultures that support “fending” skills from the youngest ages, and why is it important to do so?Resource List:Your Turn: Julie's bestselling book about “how to be an adult.”The Your Turn Study Guide: A helpful resource for using Julie's book to start “fending” and finding your voice. Julie's inspiring talks: Watch Julie speak on topics relevant to parents, educators, and young people who are trying to grow into competent adults.Hunt, Gather, Parent: The new book by Michaeleen Doucleff Julie mentions in this interview The Daily SEL Leader: Julie's recommended book for educators looking to improve their SEL practices Hella Social Impact and Vaya Consulting: Two organizations Julie recommends to help schools level up their DEI efforts.In This Episode:“You don't just sort of give someone the opportunity to fend at their 18th birthday. It doesn't happen that way. Fending is intrinsically about skills. You don't, we don't go from handling everything for kids to them suddenly being capable of doing for themselves. That's called being cut off cold turkey, and it's cruel, and it leads to, you know, can lead to real devastating results. So we are definitely in for a reframe.” (8:16)“At a very practical level, Home Ec and shop class-- Home Ec and shop class were terrific places to learn some of the fending skills. And in many communities, those courses have gone the way of the dinosaur because we've gotten so enamored of what we think of as enrichment, which we think is only the hardcore academic stuff. So we've jettisoned the stuff of life out the window, and we shouldn't be surprised that we graduate people with high GPAs, who cannot do much for themselves.” (10:17)“I try to hone in on the root, the Latin root educare, you know, educate, educare. Educare, I'm told-- I was never a student of Latin, but I have learned-- means to bring forth. And I tell educators, what's your subject? And they'll say French, Latin, Spanish, Math, English, History, Art, Music, et cetera. And I'll challenge that. I'll say, isn't your student the subject? Aren't you bringing your student forth, and simply your expertise-- math-- is, is what you use to bring them forth?” (14:15)“Our educators are hurting. They're, they're stretched so thin. They've been burning the candle at both ends and in the middle. And we all need to restore the self, if we have any hope of being of use to other humans. And when we can walk that walk, then I think we are reshaping education and reshaping the experience our children have within it.” (20:15)“You know, for some kids, they're just proud they're alive, and we need to celebrate that because people were pushed to the brink. So celebrating, recognizing the stronger capacities and emotional strength that was built because of this struggle. That would be an important thing, I think, to embed at least into this coming fall, if not to make it a part of a much bigger practice.” (27:31)Full TranscriptAbout Our Guest:Julie Lythcott-Haims believes in humans and is deeply interested in what gets in our way.
