Beautiful home, beautiful music and in one of my favorite parts of the country. New England is not only magical but also has a fairy tale quality that I have not seen anywhere else.

I loved a Ethan Allen many years ago with their americana decor, so disappointed with them these past years with their ultra modern looks. Love all these inspirations. ❤️🎄enjoy! Love your honesty in your successes and failure, it’s so true this is how most of us rebels learn.

I love Ethan Allen's Colonial / Early American look too! Slowly but surely bringing the look to my home. I positively love Linda Smith Davis's home and decorating style!!!

Linda, I candied pears, made cinnamon gingerbread men, cut out paper stars, made rag ribbons, and gathered green. Much of my inspiration came from watching your videos. I’ve enjoyed every second, but the real satisfaction is admiring the results... thank you, Cindy K.

I lived in NH for 20 years and currently live in Colorado. I feel like I’m back in NH when I hang out with you.........so lovely. Thank you😀

Your childhood cookie cutters look wonderful on the tree! And adding cloves to the orange slices must smell heavenly! When I was a child, we made dough ornaments in school, so when I was an adult and heard about gingerbread ones, I swore I would try them someday. That recipe looks easy to use - thanks for sharing it!

Easy recipe, but a bit messy on the hands when kneading. ;-). The cloves in the orange slice does smell heavenly!

The kitchen is very beautiful and I love your decorating ideas. Thank you for sharing.

I know what you're saying,when you're just not in the mood to start decorating, once you start it's a big job. It took me five full days to decorate our city condo and a long weekend to do our Lake House. I'm pooped, but with my feet up with a glass of wine and a newly groomed Finn with his head resting on my lap, I'm happy and content. Love the idea of a kitchen tree, maybe l could do that yet....!!!!😳😊 Thanks for a great video 😊🍁

You are not alone. I don't like the look of modern cookie cutters either. I love your home, but especially your kitchen! Gorgeous

I enjoyed the show and I am in Oklahoma so fonud alot to do Mary short

So warm and homey. That what Christmas needs more of this year. Beautiful.

Love the cookie cutters on the tree!

Truly one of the better Home Decorating Channels here. So many people go out and buy everything new from Stores and match everything. Love that you also use Fresh Greens...

Wow, thank you!

Just beautiful Linda.....I’m very nostalgic so I just love the cookie cutters from your childhood . And yes I wouldn’t put the colored cookie cutters Out because they didn’t match the others..😂😂😂. Can you say OCD. I’m in love with the fruit theme, the tree looks amazing and I love what you did to your hutch. The view from you kitchen window is just everything. Your home is so welcoming and cozy. Looking forward to more Thank you 🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲

Your house is just beautiful. You are not alone on the hiding of the cookie cutters. They are gorgeous in shapes, and practical with the rubber for pushing down... but not to look at in a glass canister! Thanks for the video. So enjoyed it. Hugs from Maine.

I'm glad you agree about the cookie cutters! Others are chiming in they agree too. Phew! LOL

I am totally with you on the cookie cutters! Lol! I would have done the same thing. The kitchen tree is beautiful. My Mum and I have been watching you since last Christmas - it’s nice to come full circle. 😊 We enjoy your videos. We are from Massachusetts (Lunenburg) originally (now in southern NH) so it’s always fun when you go out and about to Massachusetts stores and sites. And of course we can relate to the New England decor. We’ve been here since the 1630s too (well, not us - our family. Ha ha!). So also enjoy when you talk about your ancestors/family. Thank you for this channel and sharing your beautiful home and creations with us

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! I love that you wear your Dad's coat. My Dad passed 37 years ago and I kept his favorite jacket. I still have it. When my daughters were young we made the cinnamon ornaments. I too found out the plastic wrap is needed! Looking forward to your whole house tour.

Omg! I remember having that angel cookie cutter as a child😃

Your home is beyond gorgeous! Reminds me of the colonial home I grew up. So funny when you said you wondered why your gingerbread cookies didn't look like everybody else's. I used to wonder that about my sandwiches because my mom would use pumpernickel bread while everyone else's parents made their sandwiches with white. It is funny what we think of as kids and how we remember those things into adulthood.

Your home is my dream home! I love every single thing about it and I always learn something from you.

You’re not alone..I’ve been collecting cookie cutter ornaments for about 25 years. My favorite are the gigantic Martha Stewart cookie cutters from the 1980’s. I’m always on the hunt for them at tag sales, estate sales, etc. Love the video❤️

I love it ! Made me want to try all this !

Your house is immaculate and a model for others - thank you for all the warm, cozy Christmas tips.

Yes beautiful , the copper cookie cutters look amazing 🤗💕🎄

Miss Linda, your videos are breathtaking. Your home is filled with Christmas cheer. Everything is beautiful. God Bless!

Gorgeous! I love old homes! That tree in the kitchen is beautiful! I love those chairs near your grandfather clock!

I hope you enjoy the tour of our kitchen decorated for Christmas. This year I am going with a Traditional Colonial New England style.

I really want to try making these cinnamon ornaments this year...thanks for sharing Linda..🥰🇦🇺

I have learned SO much from your posts! I’ve NEVER heard of applesauce cookies for decorating! Thank You!

Love your new kitchen -and your Christmas decorations, especially the tree! I don’t think you need to add ribbon to the ornaments- looks very colonial and lovely just the way it is! You’ve inspired me to do a kitchen tree- and I can use my collection of whale cookie cutters (we live at the beach). Thankyou and Happy First Day of Advent! 🎄🎄

A lot of nice decorating. I am still putzing, decorating here and there. Still need to pick up a few wreaths and still doing decorating crafts too. Still early yet. But almost there. I love every year changing things a bit here and there.

Looks good love traditional smells..remember as a kid..love it a plan to do it..we all some spirit for christmas..

Linda, this video is Beautiful and Magical. You decorated so beautifully. Thank you for sharing. Fabulous. 💗

BEAUTIFUL home, love it all

Your tree is beautiful. You've given me some wonderful ideas. Thank you for sharing all you crafts and decorating ideas.💗💗

Your home is a place of enchantment! It is so beautiful.

You're not alone with the cookie cutters... I keep my plastic ones in Ziploc bags according to season. You are so inspiring!! Thank you!!

Morning Linda love the Christmas tree cookies and cookie cutters great idea. Linda I love how you follow tradition that means so much thank you so much for sharing have a good and blessed day God bless.🙏🏻🎄🌲👍🏻👏🏻🍁🐿

I really enjoy your thrifting videos. I think we are indeed kindred sprits and not too distant neighbors as I regularly shop most of the stores you mention. You have even highlighted items i also own! ...(and i am a patron of christine mconnel. Who is amazing if your viewers need another endorsement:)) I moved frequently as s child and grew up restoring historic homes. I think our mothers were similar! I was also a dealer in the northwest and am now redoing several houses in SW NH. I have been here about 15 years and have to say consignment shops are much more prevalent here than in the west, where thrift stores dominate. Its a different type of bargain hunting, but still fun. Maybe our paths will cross one day! Thx for introducing me to some new stores in the area. Happy holidays and joyous remodeling!

Beautiful! And, no, you aren't alone concerning the cookie cutters! I have my old vintage ones in the big jars on my counter and the newer ones in a drawer!

BEAUTIFUL 💖 I love making apple sauce and cinnamon ornaments too. I will try adding clove next time . 😉

Love that big island!!

In have the same angel cookie cutter that I used as a little girl & last year, I used it & a few others from the same set on my little kitchen Christmas tree. I’ll do the same this year but I haven’t started decorating in the kitchen just yet. I hope to post my home tour next week. I love the orange slices on your tree & the applesauce ornaments. I saw Hillary make those & just loved them.

Your kitchen Christmas tree is beautiful and your copper childhood ornaments add the finishing touch! I am going to try the cinnamon applesauce ornaments. I also keep my metal cookie cutters (some with wood handles from my grandmother) in a jar like yours and keep my plastic cookie cutters separate in the pantry.....of course!

Your kitchen must smell divine. Thank you for the applesauce and cinnamon recipe. Your tree looks amazing with all your pretty decorations. 😊

Love the kitchen tree! The natural/fruit/colonial style really speaks to me! Beautiful!

I just love your decorated tree , it looks vintage , everything looks beautiful , simple but elegant ! 🎄❤️🎄

I want you to know how I look forward to every one of your videos. Love your decor and I can't say enough of how I appreciate you and your traditional inspiration to all of us. Just so lovely. Happy Holidays and stay blessed in the coming years.

Linda, really lovely...you are so correct..you have to be in the right mood to decorate. I just had a burst of energy and inspiration and just finished my two trees and mantels. Thanks for all your wonderful videos and motivation🎄🎄❄️👍

I do the same thing with my cookie cutters. I have the antique candy containers you would see in a 5 and dime store. I have 3 and they are full!! I love the ornaments you made and what you did in your kitchen.

Getting inspiration!! I love the kitchen Christmas tree. That is the spirit of a cozy old world Christmas I’m looking for this year!

What a beautiful tree! Love everything on it! I also have the same cranberry garland that I use and the very same copper cookie cutters but never thought to put those on my tree, love them! I have made cinnamon/applesauce little snowmen when my kids were young but I believe the recipe I used was for equal parts of both? You have inspired me to go find it and make some ornaments! I look forward to your videos, love them all, Thank You!!!

So nice and beautiful can wait to see the home tour 🌲🤗❤️

Your videos always bring me calm and joy! Thank you!!! Last weekend I made mini applesauce cinnamon ornaments for my mini kitchen Christmas tree. Like you, I thought parchment paper would work...nope! And, I also found myself rolling outside the plastic. hah! My kitchen smells divine and I adore my little tree. Next I’m on to orange and apple slices. Have a great day!!!

It looks lovely, Linda. Thank you for sharing it. I also wear my Dad's old gardening jacket and it reminds me of him and how much he loved his garden. ❤️

I LOVE all your videos & have been meaning to say how much I really enjoy the musical accompaniment you choose!! It’s just another touch that really adds so much ❤️

So pretty! I'm definitely going to dig out my cookie cutters and make these ornaments. When I taught 1st grade, I made these with my students...then they gifted them to their parents. 😃

We love Hilary's channel she's so amazing & sweet been watching her since she started on Utube ....

Lovely kitchen Christmas tree and the start up for the kitchen decor is looking mighty fine. I did some dried oranges and I’m delighted with them. Have a wonderful day and be blessed.

Linda, I love to watch as you make the seasonal changes to your home. Always beautiful ❤️

I put my cookie cutters in stacking christmas themed round lidded boxes and put on top shelf of pantry.

Beauty is in the detailis! Thank you so much for the video🌲💚❤️

I miss Ethsn Allen😥 yes same here, I play Christmas music and suddenly I'm in the mood. The cinnamon ornaments were wildly popular in the mid 80's. We had tab curtains (I miss Country Curtains) on a wooden rod and hung the gingerbread boys on red ribbons on the wooden rod berween the curtains at diff. lengths. Love all your videos and finds.

You're off to a grand start! Love the nostalgia on your tree, to me that means so much. Thank you again for a great video❤

Oh, Linda! I can hardly wait to see the final tour. So far, your Christmas decor is wonderful.

I can just smell all the good spices

There are so many things I like. Just watched Hillary make the applesauce ornaments. Usually attach a pineapple to the top of our lamppost. Will be using several of your ideas. 🌞

The tree is so simple and beautiful ❤️ I wish I could smell it

Looking forward to 2023 videos!!!🎊 🎉

Oh I just love your kitchen tree. It’s precious. Can’t wait for the continuation 😊

You're tree is beautiful! I love that you can actually see the lovely green and structure of the tree. It calms my soul to see the simple beauty.

Thank you for this week idea! I’m teaching preschool virtually this week, and might just share this idea with my class. What a fun experience!

I love your kitchen tree! Can't wait to see how everything turns out. ❤🌲

The kitchen Christmas looks great with the fruit, etc.. I just love it and I’m going to try it next year.

I think it's wonderful how you admit you sometimes are not motivated...in July I'm motivated and then when Christmas comes...it's like bleh :)

Just lovely!!

Just wonderful!

I love a traditional Christmas look! So beautiful!🎄❤️

You are definitely not alone!😊

What a lovely slice of festive Americana, I especially liked the oranges on the silver tea service platter!

You inspired me to make a tree for my kitchen. It smells so good with the dried fruit and cinnamon ornaments.

You have a truly beautiful home.Love from England,U.K. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

So beautiful! Love New England!

Thank you I enjoyed that so much, so natural looking.

What a WONDERFUL video!!! Boy, as a New Englander, this is so uplifting as we navigate this lonely, isolating horrid pandemic! It makes us feel like we’re right there at your house! ( I remember making those ornaments in the 80’s!)

What I love about your home, is seems minimalish and yet decorated so beautifully, and feels cozy and warm.. great decorating..... it’s all gorgeous

So lovely and tasteful. It brings back so many memories of Christmas past. Love it.🎄

The kitchen looks so beautiful! I never heard of the apple sauce ornaments now I have to try them. Thank you for sharing your beautiful house with all of us!

This is so lovely. I almost think I can smell those glorious aromas.❤🌲💚

Me to hi from USA 🇺🇸

I don't have room for a Christmas tree in the kitchen but I thought I might make a window Garland using some of your ornament ideas. That is the cookie cut outs, the studded orange slices. 🌲

Hi Linda, everything looks so lovely. I like the faux baby's breath on the tree. It adds a special touch. I thought of you the other day when I made some mini pies like you did with your apple filling! I may not make a full pie again since they were so pretty and good. Thanks for the inspiration.

Wonderful tour with so many heartfelt touches. I think you are wise to pause and wait until inspiration returns - as it will. The best decorations always come from the heart!

You are NOT alone about the cookie cutters😀

We have those with the handles on them too. Classic!!!

Your home is just beautiful! Love the applesauce ornaments!

Love your 2020 Christmas kitchen decor. So creative and beautiful Linda! Thank you for sharing!

I love the kitchen Christmas tree!! 🎄♥️ So festive!

Linda, just love what you have done so far. I did my orange slices. Turned out perfect. They are hung on my dining room tree and look like little stained glass windows. Don’t be concerned about losing your mojo. I think we have all had our moments lately. Thank you for kitchen decorating and wonderful ideas. Take care.❤️Leslie

Love your videos! Everyone loved your pecan pie recipe! Your videos are never long enough - you always leave me wanting more.
