The beauty of your home, your choice of music, and careful editing create a sense of calm, so welcome in the upcoming hectic holidays. I feel myself relaxing in the first few minutes of your videos. I'm glad you're reminding us to slow down and enjoy each season.
I would love to see you do the candied peels, and those cranberries too. Thank you for being such a fun teacher and being consistent putting out your video’s. Even the short one’s are welcome. ❤️❤️❤️

I agree. Actually, every time you've said "If you'd like to see how..." (to make a recipe, to make YT videos, to make a craft, etc-- all the extras you ask about) I'd love to see it. Even if I don't plan to DO it, I love to see your process. You have such a great way of explaining and showing, it makes everything seem possible :-) oh, and don't forget what you were going to tell us about the pineapples... next time!!
Linda, I always find something to inspire me from your lovely videos.
Your videos are always so creative and calming!
The snow gently coming down and that scenery ..O my.. so pretty. So happy you had a lovely time with your family. 🦃 Yes I would be interested in seeing how you sugar the cranberries and orange peels.
Yes, isn't it wonderful how our heavenly Father created so much on this earth to enjoy! God is so awesome! I love to decorate with items from nature as well. Your property is so nice and rustic!
You crack me up "oh Hello! " "putting away Thanksgiving" I like the unique originality of your videos Thank You for sharing a day in your BEAUTIFUL atmosphere God Bless
Thank you. It's an absolute pleasure to listen to your calming voice and, as you said, be present in the moment. So important these days. Can't wait to see your Christmas preparations. I love seeing the scenery where you live, it's so different to where I am in Western Canada.
Can't wait to see your Christmas decorating...you do such a beautiful job.
I loved your video and I couldn't help but notice that your daughter has a eye for decorating,color and grouping the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
Awe Mother Nature at her best. Thank you Linda for reminding us to live in the moment.
Me too, would love to see the candied Orange peels! Thank you, Linda!
Thoroughly enjoy your decorating and consignment projects. Perhaps if you have time in the Spring, you could show us how to design some table arrangements. There always seems to be a "dead" decorating time after Christmas and before Spring gets underway. Lovely shot of "Willow"!
Love the mini salt and pepper sets. Your lamp is gorgeous. Love the comfy, cozy feeling of your home.
What a lovely, calming, delightful video this is. I love the total way you present your videos. Thank you so much, Linda. 🧡🤍💛👏 🎄
Oh yes, would love recipes, please. I remember, as a child, many a snowy Thanksgiving in Pennsylvania. Love all your videos, even watching you fill salt and pepper shakers. Thank you for taking the time and effort to produce and share them.🦃😊
Love, love, love the background music too! Ahhh such a lovely break from my crazy work day. ❤️💕❤️
You are such a joy to listen and watch! I love how you take time to stop and enjoy the moment…. your home is so delightful and cozy, those lamps are GORGEOUS!!!!!! Thank you for sharing ☺️
Your videos are pure joy, what a magical home you have! Charming, cozy, colonial… I cannot WAIT to see it decked out for Christmas ✨ 🎄

Ornamented by Mother Nature! So sweet.
I loved the melting ice on the outside branches. I also am so glad that Willow is enjoying her new home, she is so cute.
I love so much your video... good ideas, nice atmosfere, deep and elegant lifestyle... Thank you from Italy
Well Linda, when I first began following you I simply could not quite believe what real ‘kindred spirits’ we were and are. Before you shared the gorgeous painting of the beautiful sailing ship you had found somewhere, I wanted a ship’s print or painting in my dining room and had found one (yet to be framed or find a frame😊)-but I do know mine can’t compare to your find. Nonetheless, I LOVE IT, and am anxious to see it on my wall too 😊It just went on from there! One video after another you introduced things I either have, or hope to have, in SO many of which we share the same taste. Then, you exhibited your skill at doing many different things. I am somewhat more timid about attempting projects (caulking is impossible for my hands, even with the tubes!) but watching you dive right in had given me courage! So, I want to tell you that - I am ever so THANKFUL FOR YOU at this Thanksgiving time. We, your kindred spirits, are SO fortunate you take the time and trouble to do ALL that you do!! SO glad your family had a beautiful Thanksgiving! VERY excited about CHRISTMAS DECORATING 🎄!

Yes, Janice, I agree 100% with your comments about kindred spirit and how Linda's diving in gives courage! I have her videos playing as I prepare for our Thanksgiving. It helps give the house such a cozy, happy feeling.
I do believe your daughter has your creative gene !!!
Thanks for reminding us to live in the moment, I think so many of us forget to do that! Can't wait to see more videos!
Really enjoyed the soft calming effect your video had. No rushing around, everything so beautiful.
I love you’re videos. The photography, your voice, the music are always a pleasure. I would love to have the recipes you mentioned. Can hardly wait to do the cranberries and oranges, they were beautiful additions to the boards. Thank you for sharing you’re talents and time.
Your home was so pretty and I know it felt wonderful for Thanksgiving. I would love to see how you make the cranberry pops and orange slices. Can't wait to see what you do for Christmas.
Loving this video ! My favorite with the dew drops are the beautiful spiderwebs with the mist in the background!! Such a magical sight to see ! Thanks for sharing the beauty of the season!
Everything looked beautiful! Looking forward to your first Christmas in Sugarwood!
I had opened this when it posted but the week got away from me and coming back to it after seeing the latest post (November 27) and you said what I felt in that video. I want to enjoy the moment, the holiday and family. We forgot to take pictures but it was so long since we gathered that it was overwhelming, strange and oh so happy. These past two years are making me appreciate moments, events with updated appreciation that I already have and cherish. I watch your videos and it is a happy, relaxing therapy session bringing me back to center. Thank you, Linda. 💕
The snow coming down...is magical...
That was so enjoyable! Everything, the music, the different things you shared with us. I am getting attached to Sugarwood! Your table was lovely and graceful! I really look forward to your videos.
Love, love, love your videos for the calmness. Your home is beautiful, your decorating is tasteful and elegant. Do share recipes when you make something, that would be so fun. Can’t wait for your Christmas videos to start for my inspiration.
I loved this video very much. It was very authentic ...Dirty dishes are a part of gatherings. Enjoying Family time is the most important part of any gathering!!
Thanks for living in the moment. I really appreciate you not rushing to put up Christmas. As much as I love Christmas, it can wait it’s turn! 🤣 I would love to see how you and your daughter made those candied fruits!
Salt glass containers can 'sweat' with condensation - its a good idea to put a few grains on white rice in the shaker before you add the salt. Then the salt will not clump because the rice absorbs any moisture. A wonderful video - I love your home.

It is effective but gross,when my husband and I were courting,we ate at my future in-laws and I thought that there were maggots in the salt shaker! Ewww😵💫😖😵

Love how you savor the smallest details & awaken us to them. Precious shot of Willow gazing outside! Your video is about life & I am glad you show a mess here & there. Makes it real! I would love the recipes - those cranberry pops look delicious! Your soothing voice & creative mind are elements I savor & enjoy. Thanks, Linda, Happy Thanksgiving to you & your entire family.
THE CHEESE BOARD LOOKS SO YUMMY AND THE GOLDEN BIRDS ARE BEAUTIFUL!!!🧡✨✨
Yes please. I love the simple elegance of home made old fashion candies and sweets. 🍭🍭🍬🍬🍫🍫
Hello Using a piece of scrolled paper to fill the salt and pepper shakers is an old custom that my grandmother taught my sister and I when we were about 6 and 7. (I am now 73 years old.) Ladies looking presentable at all times is another old custom for most families, jeans, no matter how much they cost, were not for well manner females. Dress slacks with a suitable blouse or sweater was and still is an attractive outfit. Linda...presentation is everything.
Your videos always inspire me! I especially appreciate your reminder to stay in the moment and enjoy!
I am really enjoying watching you make you new house a home. Its beautiful.
Driving to Keene,NH and seeing our MT Monadnock covered with snow... magical!
The view of the snow from your window was so beautiful and just perfect for your gathering. So glad you shared it in your video. It really puts you in the holiday spirit. Hugs from Texas.
Linda, thank you for keeping it real!
Your place is beautiful & you are blessed ! And yes I enjoy things simple too .. some times I’m outside & im talking to myself & looking at the trees , flowers , sky .. just what ever .. and I’m like “well , hello Beautiful “ to whatever I see , like the drops on the limbs or a spider web that the sun hits & it glistens … the world is a beautiful thing , if people would just stop … Look & Listen . ♥️♥️♥️
Can’t wait to see your Christmas decorating!
You have such a calm and soothing voice. Your home was beautiful for Thanksgiving, the decor was perfect. Nothing missing for this perfect holiday except Willow.🙂
I am so happy that I took your advise on the window candles. I'm loving them. Perfect height, brightness and remote. Also love that I could take the "candle" out and use my pewter candle stick holders.
Thank you for sharing the beauty of your life and home! 🥰
Thank you for your wonderful videos and inviting us into your new beautiful home, looking forward to seeing your Christmas decor
I enjoyed your Thanksgiving decor. I can't wait to see your Christmas decor.
There is something so relaxing about just putzing and decorating, that is how I do it. Alwags tweakibg and adfing things till the very day. 😁. Your home is lovely.
Dear Linda such JOY to watch you. You make me happy.Those lamps you’re Mom got you are perfect. Love, how you decorate. Would love to watch you teach us how to make the candy fruit peel. It seems you’re family had a lovely Thanksgiving...🍁🦃🍂🦃 Happy Christmas decorating.🎄🎄
So magical and homey. Just beautiful!❤️
I absolutely love your videos. Your voice is so soothing. I can sit and watch these videos all day.
Always enjoy watching your holiday videos it’s such an inspiration to me ❤️
That "apple jelly candy" is something thats been around for YEARS! 😂 Its called Aplets: Its a lokum-type confection associated with Washington State. The candy is similar to Turkish Delight, and was first developed in 1918 by apple farmers as a way to dispose of surplus crops. Aplets & Cotllets are small, jelly-like confections baked in powdered-sugar around walnuts. They are similar in taste and consistency to Turkish Delight, on which they are based, but the pectin in the fruit acts as a gelling agent. Aplets are made with apples and Cotlets are made with apricots. Blessings, Washington State 💖🌲🍎
Yes, please. I would like the recipe for the orange peel and the cranberries as well as your daughters recipe. Thank you Linda for sharing. ♥️
Much has happened in my life since last year at this time, and I truly share your sentiment to be grateful and live in the moment! Thanksgiving is one of the most beautiful and reverant seasons of the year! I never again want to rush into the Christmas season ahead of time, without thoroughly enjoying the invigorating chill as the green leaves of Summer slowly change into the splendor of Fall, and welcomes one and all to cozy up where it is warm! I don't take for granted the food in my pantry and the bounty of Mother Earth! I am grateful for the blessings I have in my life! Time seems to slow down to allow for all that is important to give my life more meaning, if I will just allow it to happen! Happy Thanksgiving To All---2022!
I always enjoy your videos Linda and I can’t wait for the next one.. As always thank you for sharing and giving wonderful ideas..
I always enjoy our virtual visits in your beautiful home!
Yes, please list those candied recipes. They looked so festive! Glad you all had a great time. Hi to your mom! Loved seeing Willow at the end! ❤️
I enjoy watching your video's. They take me away from a stressful world. I would like to see you make the candied orange peels. Thank you!
I hope to see a video of you making cranberry pops and your daughters recipe. I really like the fact that you do voiceover is so soothing and it gives the videos a nice flow.
Wonderful looking cheese platter..and table centerpieces!Everything you do is so lovely..thoughtful..and just plain classy..Can't wait till your next video!
Hi Linda and Happy Thanksgiving! I so enjoy all your videos!! Linda... I really believe you are living your dream and I am so happy for you!! God Bless You and your beautiful family!! Looking forward to your next video! Hugs! :)
Linda, you did a beautiful After -Thanksgiving video, so calming and relaxing. Thank you for sharing. 😚
The gentle snow falling was such a pretty scene. Glad you all had the chance to be together for an early Thanksgiving. Your Christmas decor is going to be wonderful I’m sure 😊🎄.
Everything is so beautiful ❤️🌲💚 I love your story about your kids and the candles!! I love it when out adult kiddos, still act like kids, such fun memories 🥰
I love the lamp by the wheat arrangement. So cute and 65 dollars for both is a great bargain. Still am enjoying you walk through the house. love it and know you do too. Just enjoy you completely. Love MJ
The sugared cranberry pops look intriguing. I’d like the recipe.
As I fully expected....... I love your new home, Sugarwood! And, YES! Please share your recipe for candied citrus peel! You never disappoint Linda. I share so much of your taste for simple but fine living. Thank you for these short visits into your New England world!
Love this vid. Especially, watching the snow and listening to your stories. The wallpaper was such a cool find.
YES to the recipes!
Oh, I miss CT! First snow of the season.is just beautiful. We live in AZ so we often have warm temps around the holidays and a couple of snow falls in Jan. I look forward to your Christmas decorating in your new house. I will live vicariously through you, Linda. Cheers, Mandy from Tucson🌵
I have a set of a dozen of those same salt and pepper miniatures. They look so cute on the table.
Yes, I would like for you to share the recipes just because of not wasting the peels... Thank you for sharing!!! Have a blessed and fabulous holiday season😊🦃🎄❤😊
Great video! I love the lamps. The mugs are a fantastic find too. I certainly would’ve snatched them up if I’d seen them at a local shop. I’m hosting Thanksgiving on Thursday and so it’s a busy week. Nice to take a break with you.
☃️ ~Loved this Miss Linda; so peaceful! ❄🦃❄
Beautiful video, loved seeing the first snow fall, so cozy and warm in your lovely home.
The snow was lovely. I enjoyed this relaxing video.
HappBut THANK YOU, for squeezing " us "in , you are such a calming "port" in this day and age. YES, I would love to know how to make the Cranberry Pops, Candied Orange Peel, Apple Butter Candy. Taking time for yourself is great. Please take care of yourself and have a wonderful Holiday at Surgarwoods.
You make everything so magical to watch. I always looks forward to your videos.
This was wonderful , Linda . Thank you for sharing and that you all had a great time making memories at Sugar Wood
I would love the recipes for the apple butter cookies and the cranberries! Thank you for another very enjoyable video.
Lovely !
As soon as I watched your video, I got the inspiration for my table centrepiece, thank you and your ideas are wonderful.
I cannot wait to see what you’re going to be doing for Christmas 🎄
Years ago my brother lived in Concord, NH We decided to go there for Thanksgiving and it was beautiful. The ground was covered with snow and the little pond behind his house was frozen over. It was truly a New England Thanksgiving. I can not believe how quickly you have settled in and l can not wait to see your Christmas decorating videos.
I really enjoyed seeing your lovely home and having a sneak peek into your old fashioned Thanksgiving! Family, food, games…I live for those moments. The candles cracked me up! My “kids” are 20,22, and 25 and they STILL do that too!!! Once home, always home I guess❤️ Thank you for the inspiration! Oh yes-I adore candied grapefruit and orange peel. I dip the tips of them in chocolate.
Thanks Linda. So appreciated.
Thank you for sharing
I did order the candles you recommended. Nice. Thank you.
Yes I would love the recipes!
Beautiful finds! Tip for the salt funnel, if you cut your funnel in half so there’s not so much height from the wide top where you pour the salt, down to the narrow tip where it pours into the shaker, it will be easier to see how much more salt or pepper is needed and won’t over fill your shaker:)
