Mary, many years ago, my sister and I wanted the same thing for flowers! She found one and put Mums in it. Then, one snowy Fall night in NEOhio, she heard a loud meow coming from the Bassinet. Sure enough, there was a small kitten, covered in snow. She took the kitten in and named her, Sally Snowflake. Sally ruled their farm for 17 years! 😘❤

That's a great story!

how wonderful to be able to spend the day with your sister doing something you both love. Great treasures found, even better memories made ... thanks ever so much for taking us along with y'all

I suffer from anxiety and pannick attacks, lately even more so with everything going on. I have been watching your videos for a few years, you are such a therapy, your voice is calm, your surroundings, diys, everything! I work in the health field so it gets pretty crazy during the day, especially Fridays! So you are my therapy this morning, sipping my coffee and watching your video! You are my adult version of Mister Rogers ❤

Enjoyed this video so very much Mary. Mostly the part where you and your sister are sharing your giggles. My sister passed 1 1/2 years ago. This brought back so many memories of us shopping, being silly. A sister relationship is like no other, beautiful. Of course it brought tears too, because I do miss her always but also so many beloved memories. It was sweet to see that you and Marlene share that special bond as only sisters can. I love all of your videos but this is my favorite by far. What I needed today. Thank you for sharing this. It really touched my heart. God bless you both.

I love pouring over china and old things in antique stores and thrift stores. I used to go to farm auctions with my mom in central Missouri and we both loved looking at everything. She would buy household items for my dad’s foreign students, who would be arriving with nothing for their apartments. The auctioneers eventually knew her by name and they would call her name if there were a box of kitchen stuff and ask if she were bidding on this lot. She’d get a big box of cutlery, cookware and bits and bobs for a dollar because people didn’t want old stuff. I have to really hold myself back when I go looking because I’ll see something I didn’t plan on buying. And I get it. Especially china plates. Any old Japanese, German, English or American orphaned but lovely plates and saucers fall victim to my eye!

I had one of those bassinets for my daughter 44 years ago. I made a yellow and white gingham smocked skirt for it. I was so proud of how it looked. She screamed every time we put her in it. EVERY TIME! Bless her little heart.

Antique outings with a sister or a friend is day blessed with enjoyment.

I could spend an entire day in a store like that. And thanks for taking us on a virtual tour. Have a blessed day!

There was a nice old sink John wouldn't even have to drag out of the woods.

I grew up with 4 brothers, but it still warms my heart to see sisters enjoying time together as I imagine that's what it's like having a sister❤️ And I also have developed an obsession with dishes! Enjoy and God bless!

Always fun to hang with your Sister and have a good time reminiscing and having the giggles!!! So glad you find the bassinet you were looking for. TFS. 😊👍❤

Love it when you actually find what you're looking for when you're out looking for it!! I can just picture a couple of big beautiful ferns cascading from it! I can't wait for the visual reveal. I still have the one I bought used when I was expecting for our daughter 19 years ago (I gave either $10 or $20 for it, that included the white eyelet bedding and ruffle skirt). I was literally just thinking yesterday that I probably should just get rid of it, but now I won't, even though I think mine rocks.

Thanks for taking us along with you today Mary. Love sister time, it’s great therapy. Can’t wait to see what you do with the bassinet. And eventually you’ll have a little grand baby in it!!🩷

So glad you found the bassinet. I know that feeling of seeing something all the time … and then when you want it, you can’t find it. Those spring pics look perfect in your she shed. I have admired them in previous videos. 🌷

My husband is going to be thrilled to know that I have a craving to go antiquing now!😂 Wonderful video!!

Nothing much better than time with a sister sharing giggles and memories. ❤ I can't wait to see that precious bassinet filled with ferns, how great that you found one right away! Loved all your finds, thanks for taking us along.

Oh, Charley Pride. Was so saddened when he succumbed to COVID. His records were playing in my home a lot when I was growing up and I still love his music.

So much fun to go antique shopping with your sisters. Now, we live in different states, but still good memories and fun times. Thank you for sharing; take care.

My granddaughter is home from school and watching your video with me today. Zoe who is 7 years old said Nannie Mary is very pretty and she wanted to know about the horse and carriage try to explain the best I knew how for her age. Told her we would look more up on the internet. I love that my grandchildren love to know about other people in other states I have Native American grandparents on my side of the family they love telling others about their Native American great grandparents! This is what The USA is all about! Thank you, Mary for your content! We are From Clemson, South Carolina!

I love visits to antique stores. I love dishes also. I have that pretty blue flowered china set that you were looking at. It was my grandmothers and she collected it at the grocery store in the early 1960s. I have added to it over the years and plan to gift it to my 2 granddaughters. Love your videos.

Thought I recognized it! Kroger's maybe?

I did have a great day watching you Mary I always loved watching you I put my phone on the windowsill and wash my dishes in the morning and watch her tutorials I love I just love watching see what you get like a lot of things I like and you helped me to do some decorating in my house thank you for what you do keep up the good work God bless you

The falling snow was beautiful to see. Glad you found some of the things you wanted. Thanks for sharing your special time with your sister.

I feel the same about dishes! Didn’t care when I was younger, but now that I’m like 50 I must think they are all so pretty!

Oh , yes do enjoy your precious time with your sister . I recently lost one of my two oldest sisters from cancer . I miss her very much ! We never know how long we’ll have those we love . So important to cherish the time God allows us to have together !

Mary, Mary, Mary....OH! HOW I LOVE MARY!

Oh I love looking at old things. One of the very few things I do not care for is glassware. Aren’t you glad we are all different? Love your channel.

Good morning, Miss Mary! This was a delightful video with a trip to the antique shop. Thanks for sharing your time with your sister and the memories you both share. I'm curious to see how your bassinet planter turns out! Have a lovely day.🌹

Nice to see you and your sister shopping for cool antiques.

I had all my babies in a bassinet like that next to my bed when they came home from the hospital. What a great idea for a new life for old bassinets.

Me too 😍

I love hearing your stories about your upbringing.

I used a child toy version of bassinet for plants. Living on roofed porch, it’s lastest two years and still looks great ‼️👏👏👏.

The bassinet is gorgeous. You got some nice things on this trip. It’s always fun shopping at flea markets and antique malls with your sister. So many things that were just part of our childhood or early years of marriage are considered vintage and frequently pricier than when we got them. But we’re vintage too because we’re in our 70s.

Love that you and your sis got to do this together. Love all your videos

I've been watching your videos for a long while now, and just the other day I realized I was not subscribed! I am now. I love you and your videos. You are such a hard worker...among many other things!!!!

Sister time is so wonderful! My sisters and I Love spending time together no matter what we do, making new memories with my oldest best friends!!!

Mary, l spent the last few days getting caught up on your vlogs. It is a bit of a surprise of how your ventures and opportunities have grown. So happy that John and the rest of your family and friends are a part of the activity too. I encourage you to stay grounded and keep the Lord as your employer. I know you know this, but just want to tell you that I pray for you while I watch the video. Peace to you my sister in Christ.

Yes please, more videos like this. I love seeing the antiques but I'm 65 yrs old now and a really bad back. Really enjoyed that!

Lovely video. I so miss the American roads, houses and antique malls. Love it all 🇬🇧🇺🇸🌸🌸

Boy did seeing the bassinet bring back memories of when my sister was a baby. My brother and I were at the movies, while our dad went to pick our mum and baby sister up from the hospital. Opening the front door, and seeing our mum in the kitchen, and the basinett across the room, I remember running over and looking in to see my new baby sister. Thank you for sharing this video with you and your sister. I was also happy seeing you grab the cast iron skillet. I don't know how many videos I watched of you being at thrift shops, and antique malls where you just past them over. Cast iron in CA is not plentiful, and when you do find one, it's outrageous in price. That was a beautiful skillet.

Nothing better than time with a sister. My sister and I will get the giggles and it is the best!!

Your cats would have LOVED that bassinet!

You and your sister seem to be having a great time. 💕💕💕

I used to have a booth in an antique mall. I had a bassinet that I painted a soft green, and then hot glued Spanish moss and tiny rose buds all around the rim and the bonnet. I sold it to a lady to use in a church for when they had baby showers. It would be used to hold the unwrapped gifts. I love the way they all look.

Awesome day ! Love antique shopping !!

My sister and I visited Homes County this last fall. We had a wonderful time going through the many antique and thrift stores in the area. It was fun to see you in the same stores we visited. You are right about doing these things with a sister. It adds so much fun when you have someone there with the same memories as you. Blessings, Janell

It's been a few years since I visited those antique malls. I'm ready! The rose pictures would fit perfectly in my bedroom!😉

Several things you saw and said touched my heart. When seeing antiques, I also think about the history and the people who may have used and touched those items. We also had the gold mirror tray! ☺️Lastly, my sister and I still get the giggles when we shop together, also. ♥️

Always, I have loved dishes. I have so many patterns .

I have a baby bassinet just like that! My father-in-law (now 92) slept in it first, then my husband (and his siblings) then MY kids (and the cousins) then my grandkids and NOW it is being used at my daughter's house for her 4-month old nephew she babysits every day. I LOVE that thing!

Love when you share your memories along with the visit to the antique mall! 🌸

My sister and I have enjoyed “Girl’s Day Out” for over 35 years. We thrift, yard sale, and antique,. Oh, and a lot of giggling too. ☺️. Such a joy. You got some great finds. Fun looking shops!

I so enjoyed antique shopping with you and your sister, and especially the memories. That is why I love antiques too--the thoughts o work-worn hands making linens beautiful in the evenings, or building things of wood, or cooking in those best-of-all cast iron skillets! I would love to see more like this. 😍

I got so excited when you find your beautiful bassinet….can’t wait to see..how you decor …I love and enjoy your videos so much..🙏🙏🙏💕🪴🌿🪴🪴🪴🪴🪴🪴🙋🏻‍♀️🌻

Thank you for taking along enjoyed it very much.

I love those pictures you got and the bassinet. 💕

I enjoyed listening to stories from your past. Amish life fascinates me and I'd love to hear more about what it was like

Maybe you can put clear plastic around the inside of the bassinet so it won't get wet or dirty inside. And just take the ferns out to water them. So glad you were able to find it. Antiquing with family is always an adventure in memories. Stay Safe and have a Blessed Week.

Great finds & happy day with your sweet sis! Thanks for taking us along!!

Its always so fun sharing your day, thanks Mary! 💕

It was a lot of fun shopping the antique stores with you and your sister, Mary! The bassinet looks to be in excellent condition! I recognized the pictures that are in your she-shed. They are beautiful! 💕🌸

Hi Mary! My daughter, who lives in California, has the bassinet that was bought for my parents by my grandparents in Northeast Ohio when I was born. I was the first grandchild for them in Lake County. Since that time, and up to and including my own grandchildren, 22 babies have slept in that bassinet. All the parents have signed their babies names and birth dates on the bottom so that we have a permanent record. Ours even has the exact same pattern woven in to it. My mother painted the woven design at some point but it is now back to white, as it was originally. Thanks for sharing your purpose for yours. Debbie

Oh the bassinet! So fun. My mother and all of her sisters used the same bassinet for their babies. I and several of my cousins also used it. It finally ended up in my cousin's flower shop, with plants in it. Such memories! Looks like a fun outing with your sister.

Mary I love watching your videos. I have the whole set of the blue garland dishes. The ones that you showed. Love ❤️ them.

I'm surprised the catalog survived. Mom (81) says they always had one in the out house. I also remember a couple of dry animal corn cobs without the corn (haha!). The out house was closer than the 1959 porcelain in the far reaches of the cold basement. Hope this doesn't offend. I'm a RN now. We can talk about anything these days. Love the shop with you videos. Once again, thank you for the memories.

What a lovely addition having your sister on the video. I enjoyed hearing about your memories of the different items.

My favorite days are spent with my sisters. We all like to go "thrifting" together. We just enjoy each other's company and feed off of each other with ideas of recycling and/or repurposing. It looks like you had a nice day.

My husband, son and I love to peruse and reminisce in antique malls. I see so many items my grandparents would have used, things that take me right back to Grandma's house. We even see items from our own childhoods. I always think about what history and usage a piece has seen.

So happy you had a great day with your sister and found good things 🙏🙏❤️

When I was young, that Nancy Drew book you were looking at was my favorite! "The Hidden Staircase"....very scary!

I love going on the shopping trip with you and your sister!! Thank you for taking us along. I loved seeing everything!

So nice to be able to spend time with your sister! She and I definitely get the the giggles!

I hope you will show us how your bassinet turns out. I am very anxious to see Mary I love your channel and your talent in turning trash to Treasure!!

Mary, such a great shop along. I wish I had some nice antique stores near where I live, in upstate NY. I read all of the Nancy Drew books, when I was younger. I also read another series about a nurse, her name was Cherry Ames. I have no idea where all of the books ended up. I’m sure that in one of our moves or after I got married, my Mom donated them. The same with my Barbies. My Mom was a professional seamstress and she made matching clothes for me and my Barbie doll. Those were the days🙂

Such fun!....I totally understand the "giggles" after spending a day with my sister going through antique shops also!

I did see the pictures! So glad that you and your sister ha such a good time! Memories are so important, especially as I grow older. Blessings!

Super … it was so good to see you out there enjoying time with your sister…!

🤗 That was fun Mary, thank you to you and your sister for sharing your day! So nice that you found just what you were looking for! I can’t wait to see it with plants in it. Take care.❤️

You are a breath of fresh air. Thanks for taking us along on your shopping trip. I really enjoy your channel!❤️

Loved your memories!

My kiddos always tease me about my attraction to dishes. So nice to hear someone else feels the same pull towards pretty dishes. 😊

I love looking through antique stores too. I could spend hours and hours doing that. There are so many interesting things, and yes, so many memories. The bassinet is in beautiful condition. Can't wait to see your display.

So wonderful when we have an idea and find exactly what we were hoping to find! Happy for you! You found some beautiful treasures!

I only live 30 minutes from you. I really like The Antique Barn on the corner there on State Route 39.

So much fun! Thank you for sharing 😊❣️

I love to do something fun with my sister also. Glad you had fun. When I look for something new for my home, I like to find vintage or something up cycled. So much more appealing to me than just buying new.

Loved it. Reminiscing is very good for the soul!!!!!

Well I believe that was the same bassinet I had for my baby dolls when I was very young…the one you bought was in great shape…Great finds too!!

So happy to see you and your sister having such a fun day together and also find your beautiful bassinet…🥰🇦🇺

I always love seeing the antique shops in your area 😊❤️.

Thank you for taking us along with you and your sister. I look forward to the Wednesday videos and today's was extra nice!

Love it when you speak Dutch.

Thanks for the ride! Love shopping with you! 💕🤗

I had that exact bassinet for my daughter in 1987.

How much fun! I wish I could tag along with you ladies and chuckle and laugh! You have such a keen eye for beautiful things to re-purpose!

Thank you Mary for sharing I am looking forward to seeing your plants in that bassinet have a good week❤️

Thanks Mary. That was fun!

Can't wait to see the bassinet finished. I know it will be lovely. Sisters are so much fun to spend time with. Maybe because we get each other. I'm glad you two enjoyed your morning. Enjoyed the video.

Two things I loved in this video. One is the bassinet, which I know you will be having grandbaby someday and your nieces and nephews will have babies someday so I know it will get a lot of use. The other thing I love was you and your sister speaking Dutch and laughing. We couldn't understand the Dutch but we could understand the laughter. Laughter is the universal language!

Enjoyed it. Glad you found what you were looking for. Thank you for sharing ❤

I love going too! Even if I don't buy anything, to see things you remember from your childhood that you had or your grandparents had, it's just so fun.
