It's called Mitchell Road Antiques, and I went with my friends Millie, Tasha and Caitlin.

That place is insane.

There is so much to look at, and you really need to set aside an entire day to go.

I didn't realize that at the time when I visited the first time, I thought, No, you an hour or two.

That'll be enough.

That was not enough.

So if any of you watched this video here that I posted last year, you might remember that there was some really amazing items.

I pointed out in that video that I said that I loved, but I couldn't quite justify buying them at the time.

I did end up going back, and in today's video, you're going to see some footage that I shot when I went there the second time, I set aside a full day for my second visit, and it really paid off because I found so many things that I wouldn't have seen if I just hurried through.

The thing about antique stores that are that big with that much stock is that it's very, very easy to miss things.

There's so many things on top of each other underneath each other around each other.

There were items I didn't see the first time that I went.

But when I saw them on my second trip, I knew I had to have them.

Now, there's a fun little game that I like to play with myself every Christmas at some point throughout the year.

If I see something that I really, really like, that it's quite pricey and I can't really justify buying it.

I say to myself, You know what?

I could buy this as a Christmas present for myself, and I will purchase the item and I will lock it away.

And I will not look at it again until Christmas.

So that is exactly what I did last year.

It's been exactly one year since I bought these items before I opened this box, and I show you guys what I bought.

I'm gonna put on some lo fi beats and show you guys a tour of Mitchell Road Antiques.

Yeah, yeah, yeah!

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!

Mhm.

Mm hmm.

Yeah, yeah.

Mhm, Yeah, sure.

Mhm.

Yeah.

Mm hmm.

Mhm.

Mhm.

Yeah.

Mhm.

Mhm.

Mhm.

okay?

Yeah.

Mhm.

Yeah, yeah.

Mhm, Yeah!

Mhm.

Okay, Yeah.

Mhm.

Yeah.

Okay.

Mhm.

Yeah.

Mhm.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Mhm.

Mhm.

Mm hmm.

Mhm.

Mhm.

Mhm.

Mhm.

Yeah.

Mm hmm.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

All right.

So now that we've had a look at the store, I'm so excited to finally have a look at what I got.

There are some items in here I definitely remember because I've been looking forward to opening them for the past 12 months.

But there's other things, but I may have bought impulsively, but I don't actually remember buying, so this is as much of a surprise for me as it is for you.

So, first off, this is a lamp shade that is part of an antique Murano glass lamp that I got.

It's a beautiful lamp shade.

I think that these lamps are from the sixties because I saw them on a vintage website once.

And the listing said that it was from around the sixties.

So that's the lamp shade for the lamp that's hiding in here somewhere.

I got this skirt, which is so beautiful.

This doesn't have any tag, no label, nothing, no information.

But it feels to me like it's made of wool.

It was in a vintage section of the antique store.

Whether or not it's vintage, I I don't entirely know.

Next this feels like a platter, huh?

A long time they've seen my old friend.

I had forgotten how big this was.

This is the blue and gold mirrored platter.

And funnily enough, the theme of my house wasn't blue and gold when I last went to this antique store.

But it is now big thanks to my past self forgetting something that matches my new aesthetic perfectly.

Oh, another thing that's blue and gold.

But I wonder if subconsciously I have ended up styling my house in a blue and gold theme because I brought so much of it in the past and I just had it all lying around, and it just made sense to use it all as my new style on the bottom.

Here it says, hand decorated Charles, where I'm definitely going to have to research some of the brands of the things that I've drifted over the years.

Because sometimes people pop into my comment section and say, Alex, that thing that you got when you were drifting is so rare.

It's worth thousands of dollars.

And here I am.

I've got no idea.

I'm just spray painting it for fun.

So I'm gonna have to do some Googling and look into this child's wear.

But no worries, my little friend.

You are not at risk of being spray painted.

This is very heavy.

Oh, my God.

I completely forgot about this.

This is actually a olive oil and vinegar bottle.

This is so beautiful.

So this is hand blown glass.

We've got a stopper here in a stopper here so that you can keep balsamic vinegar and olive oil in this.

It has this little metal kind of hook thing hanging off it here.

That someone's fashioned.

And I guess maybe they used to have that hanging in the kitchen.

I might get Sam to build me a timber stand for it because I really don't like the idea of hanging it.

I think it's too precious, and I really don't want to risk it breaking.

Uh huh.

I forgot I bought this in last year's thriftiness.

I kept finding these absolutely incredible onyx pieces.

I currently have two very tall on exercises that I use for propagation.

and this one.

I love the shape of it.

This urn shape is so beautiful.

Yeah, Another blue thing.

So this is very strange.

This is a glass light fitting.

It didn't come with any other pieces or parts.

This is a hanging light shade, and I believe that you're supposed to attach it to a single light bulb that is hanging out of the ceiling.

So I was thinking of repurposing it somehow.

I wouldn't mind getting Sam to build some little legs for it.

That could kind of sit like there and there, for example.

And I could use it like a vase.

It's just such a beautiful piece of glass.

I couldn't leave the store without it.

And little did I know that the theme of my house was going to end up blue and gold.

So that's a great success, too.

Oh, Oh, my God, I completely forgot.

I got this.

This is incredible.

This is hand blown glass.

This is again a vase that you use for, like a single flower or a couple of flowers on their stems.

This is so insane.

It's black glass.

And then in here it's iridescent.

Isn't that magical?

This is just so beautiful.

It's so beautiful.

Oh, my God.

Okay, who remembers this?

This is a little perfume bottle.

I showed this in my last video.

Isn't this insane?

It's so beautiful.

That's the little stopper.

And I believe that you would fill this with perfume.

And when you're ready to actually use the perfume, you just give it a tip, you douse the applicator, and then you would put the perfume on like this.

This is such a unique piece.

I've never seen anything like this before.

When I went back for this, I couldn't find it.

And I thought, someone must have bought it, but it actually just completely moved the entire stall where this was being sold, had just up and moved to another section of the store.

And I was gutted that I couldn't find it, but because I went there for such a long time and I took my time to walk around.

I did end up finding the store's new location, and I was so happy.

But I had completely forgotten that I actually managed to get this.

This is just so cute.

Yeah.

Oh, this is the lamp.

The lamp shade so this is a murano glass ball.

The cool thing about this is that after I ended up buying it a couple of days later, a vintage store that I follow on Instagram listed one identical to this.

And the crazy thing is they sold it for $800 from memory.

I think it was about $100.

It could possibly have been $200, but I remember at the time thinking Well, because it works and it's vintage Murano glass and it really is a collector's piece.

I'll go ahead and buy it.

And then when I saw it listed on that vintage store and I saw that someone actually bought one of these for $800 I was like Well, Not about investment on my part.

Getting this for under 200.

I remember what this is.

Just by feeling it, this is another glass lamp shade.

I got this from the same store that I got.

This one from this pastel colored glass is a dream, but this is another one that I would love to try to repurpose.

I may just get like a clear glass jar and sit it in the bottom, filled with water.

I can treat this almost like a vase.

I could have the thing sitting in the base that's got the water.

And I can have the flowers and everything coming out the top.

I think that that's going to certainly much better than trying to use this as a lamp shade boy, I think I know what this is from the feel of how heavy it is and the feel of the shape.

I think this is an incredible vase.

Yes.

Oh, this is what I was so excited to open.

This was the thing that made it so hard for me to leave this box of antiques untouched because this is one of two visors that I got.

Yeah.

Oh, my gosh.

Look at this.

Look.

Look at this.

My absolute favorite find.

So these are from Sweden.

The brand is a cost of boda handmade in Sweden.

These two matching vases, They are the most beautiful glass.

The little white one has flecks of speckled blue in it.

The purple one is just the most beautiful shade.

Look at these colors together.

Look at that.

Is that not absolutely insane?

Oh, hang on a second.

Have I forgotten?

Did help.

Did I really get?

I got 3rd 1.

I forgot it was a set of three.

They are truly magnificent from memory.

They were the most expensive things that I got at the store.

But I will treasure them forever.

So I don't mind.

No.

Yeah, This one.

I showed this in my first video.

And people like Alex, you've got to go back for it.

I remember it was quite expensive, and that's why I didn't buy it the first time.

But I couldn't stop thinking about it.

So glad I went back.

Look at this.

Isn't it stunning?

It's white and speckled gold, hand blown glass.

It's so beautiful.

This is incredible.

I'm so happy about this.

Oh, okay.

Right, right.

I You know what?

I got this because I was so into the whole Murano glass thing last year.

And now I'm being a lot more specific about what I buy to style my house with And because this is red and gold.

This to me, this is good for Christmas.

Yes, but any other time of the year, I would probably have this hidden away, which is a real shame because it's so beautiful.

So I may actually gift this to someone that can use it all year round and love it.

I think it may be a tea light holder.

I don't think it's a bars.

This is the only thing so far that I look back and I kind of regret buying it.

And finally, the very last item, which feels to me like a swan.

I think it is.

It is.

I did buy this.

I couldn't remember if I bought this or not.

This is a planter, a swan shaped planter, and once again, blue fits in perfectly with the theme of my house.
