can seeds from the 80s and 90s still grow or am i just planting hope?

So my coworker handed me a bunch of old seed packets—like, seriously vintage. We’re talking 1988, 1996, and 1998. I couldn’t resist the challenge. I tossed a few into some soil, watered them, and crossed my fingers. I’ve heard that storing seeds in a cool, dry place helps them last, so I figured, why not give it a shot? Watching for sprouts is half the fun. I check every morning, hoping for that first green peek. Even if only a couple make it, it feels like I’m bringing a little piece of the past back to life. It’s wild how gardening can turn something forgotten into a tiny miracle. If you ever find old seeds, don’t toss them—try planting and see what happens! gardening #plantlife #seedstarting #vintagefinds #gardening #plantlife #seedstarting #vintagefinds

F1 Poster’s Value Had Her in Stitches

Imagine grabbing a vintage F1 Monaco Grand Prix poster for $1,200 and thinking it’s just a cool piece for your wall—then finding out on Antiques Roadshow it’s actually worth up to $3,500! The guest literally couldn’t stop laughing at the expert’s appraisal. Turns out, motorsports memorabilia is big money: another guest brought a signed Indy 500 flag that was valued at $10,000. Who knew racing history could be this valuable (and hilarious)? #AntiquesRoadshow #F1 #Motorsports #VintageFinds #UnexpectedValue #Cars

Goose Cookie Jars Are Back & Cuter Than Ever

Vintage goose cookie jars are suddenly everywhere again, and honestly, I’m obsessed. Remember those quirky ceramic geese with bows and bonnets from Grandma’s kitchen? They’re making a comeback thanks to thrifting and the whole cottagecore vibe. People are hunting them down at Goodwill and estate sales, and they’re even trending on TikTok. Sure, they’re not airtight, but who cares when they’re this adorable? Would you add one to your kitchen? #vintagefinds #cottagecore #thrifted #homedecor #goosecookiejar #grandmacore #Home

My childhood gold mine 😏 How 2 cent bottles led to 10K baseball cards

Grocery shopping in the 80s and especially the 60s meant glass bottles, and almost all were redeemable. We're talking 2¢ for a regular soda, 5¢ for a big one! Kids were the real pros. Three empties could get you a Milky Way and Bazooka gum. Even better, for just 2¢ you could grab a Topps baseball card. We collected all the big stars, especially those Yankees. Those 2-cent cards are now worth hundreds to over ten thousand dollars! All from an empty pop bottle. It's truly mind-blowing how things change. 😌 #Nostalgia #80sKid #60sVibes #VintageFinds #ChildhoodMemories #BaseballCards #RetroVibes #OldPhotos

East Peoria’s hidden gem for vintage finds

Pleasant Hill Antique Mall in East Peoria isn’t just another antique shop—it’s a full-on nostalgia trip where every corner hides a story. Locals know the thrill: you might walk in for a cookie jar and leave with a 1950s fishing lure, a stack of vinyl, or a quirky painting. The prices are fair, the vendors are friendly, and the atmosphere feels more like a community treasure hunt than a store. It’s the kind of place where strangers swap memories over old toys and glassware. What’s the best thing you’ve ever found at a vintage shop? #Business #EastPeoria #VintageFinds
