The Hauls

Jocelyn hauls her finds while on her shopping trips to her various locales.  Some of the hauls are live. Both are fun to watch! https://youtu.be/alQtDLMLQI8 She also hauls her “mystery boxes” and discovers the treasures along with the viewers. https://youtu.be/FgE1gHCq3-Y Jocelyn’s knowledge of all manner of items is astounding and it is so interesting to hear her speak about the items, their history and origin, among other things. She researches very carefully and her ability to tell the “story” of an item is fascinating.

Jocelyn recently participated in a “Show off your Bunker” challenge in which she shared videos of her dining and living rooms. https://youtu.be/0Y3u77oMbw4, https://youtu.be/K4WAG8WBDGA What fun to see all the thrifted items she chose to keep and how she decorates with the items!

Jocelyn’s Journey

Jocelyn started her youTube career with a channel about her adventures in metal detecting! She grew that channel, Relic Recoverist, to over 75,000 subscribers and made it her full-time job. She had experience in picking from prior years as an estate sale expert. So, she started Crazy Lamp Lady as a way to vlog her picking and show her hauls as she began picking in the metal detecting off-season. The channel has exploded with views and subscribers and is now her primary channel. There are a couple of great videos documenting her youTube story. https://youtu.be/yoimr4TLikQ https://youtu.be/eqRYbv4KrCo  

It bears mentioning that her boyfriend, Andrew, is often along for the “picking” and he adds another opinion and shares his vast knowledge of numerous categories of items. He and Jocelyn are opening a brick and mortar shop which will be called “Banana Box Antiques.” The shop is planned to open by the end of the year.
