Thank you so much, Hillary! :-)

I love the thought we're all going back old school ☺️✨💫💜

Merry Belated Christmas Melissa, I am a Pastor's daughter and i have always had simple decor and always will. I loved this video of your's and i hope to buy a small home in an okder part of town next summer. My Mom passed away a couple years ago this was the 3rd Christmas withiut her. I was hoping to buy out my brother and sister to stay residing in her home which eoukd have been the perfect home for me. 3 of my wishes my Mom's house akready had. A small closed in porch for my wiodworking and crafting in tge summer, a gas stove which i prefer tor making my breads and muffins from scratch and my soups and enough yard for a small veggie garden which i had already cultivated the last couple years of living with her. But, i was not given tge opportunity to buy it and for now I am renting in a small village built for tte WW2 soldiers to come home to. I have the vintage black/white tile floor in my bathroom. I found a shower curtain in the same black and white check fabric with a large wide ruffle in the top. I gently cut off tge ruffle and made it into a valance for the bathroom window. I have been sewing since I was 5 and i have been beading since I was 9. When i move I hope to get a cat hopefully a younger adult cat. I grew up with Simiese cats and 2 black cats. Your cat looks so sweet. Right now on top of my refrigerator i have one if my Mom's copper jello molds i just display. My Mom left ne ger china closet and her harvest table, her living room set and her bedroom set. I need great help with stirafe ideas living in such a small dwelling. I was unabke to get a larger place to live with elevators due to covid so I was blessed to find this. I am within 10 min of my Dad's so I pick him up for church on Sundays. Your video is a breath of fresh air. Just last week a youtuber had the same Trader Joes had the same gingerbread house bags. I loved them but, they no longer have those bags. On ebay someone is selling each bag for $10 and I will do without those. Please excuse the typos. I tried to catch them all. I have carpal tunnel really bad from work right now and it affects my fingers also. Too much in this video to comment on but all WONDERFUL PROS. I hope to see you again, Blessings, Rebekah

I love the way the photo frames turned out.

Wrapping a gift in material is not only beautiful but so thoughtful for a person who loves to sew or craft. The wrapping becomes another gift itself. Everything you wrapped became an art form. Heck, I’m 61 and I wanted to get my dollies out and put them in that basket you transformed so beautifully. We don’t have a Trader Joe’s but now I want a paper bag. My Family also used paper bags for many things, especially wrapping our school books. For our school every year it was required to cover your school books. (I actually had forgotten that till right now). Anyway, all your ideas were so lovely. Thank you ~ Janet 😘

Aw thank you so much, Janet! :-) We used to wrap our school textbooks in paper bags too - and then we would decorate and personalize them. It was fun. Thanks for watching!

I love resourcefulness and thrifting ! You did a wonderful job with your projects. I so enjoy KZread’rs who do these things because in my personal life I’m ridiculed and made fun of for being thrifty, but I don’t have debt and they do ! Gift wrap is something I would never buy, there is so much “garbage” that makes wonderful wrap and gift tags. I use 5, 10 and 25 lb flour and sugar bags for gift bags, some things come with a double bag with an inside bag that is plain brown. But the “Dakota Maid” or “white Lilly” flour sack is adorable if you ask me ! The cellophane inner bag from cereal or cake mix is also a cute gift bag stuffed with crinkly paper and string tied. Newspaper and the funny pages are nice for birthdays and other gifts. Your imagination can not only make things adorable but also save a lot of money ❤ Blessings

This is the first time I have ever seen any of your videos, and this was absolutely charming!!! You shared such lovely items and ideas. In addition, the presentation was beautiful…and I loved the music, too. It was so peaceful and comforting. I will subscribe to your channel. Lovely!!! (I also love the name of your channel! My mother was a church organist for 45+ years, and I can remember, as a young child, sitting by her side on the organ bench as she was playing hymns during Sunday services.)
