HI every-one hope you're day was great & God bless all of you.

Justine, I live in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I have a friend (also in Pittsburgh) who is an expert dressmaker and I'm sure she could adjust your dress to add more room in the bust without altering the design. If this is want you want to do, let me know and I will give you my contact information. From my experience working with alterations, I advise you to take care of this sooner than later. You might have to order the dress's fabric from France...in order to make it slightly larger. It could take weeks or months just to receive the fabric from Europe. I wish you the best and appreciate your videos! I've learned a lot from watching them!

My wife is keeps asking for a fireplace that we can cook in. Thanks a lot 🙂

Also, the painting on the glass is called reverse painting, because it is done in reverse. by painting the smallest details on the back of the glass first and filling in the larger and larger details till the picture is finished.

I've seen the world's oldest all original clock. It had been running since 1390! A few years ago, they finally had to do some repair work, so I believe it's no longer all original parts, but still one of the oldest in the world. It's also an astronomical clock with the earth in the center.

For the clock, when it next chimes on the hour. Turn the minute hand backwards, stopping at each chime until you reach the time it is chiming... Then move that minute hand forward again at each chime until you reach actual time. Works on our clock.

As a person who has worked on many period costumes (mostly for operas and operettas) I know there are ways that a good seamstress can alter it... I know you don't like to think of that, but it's true. Good corsets help also, but I'm sure you know all about that. Anyway... hope something works out for you and I know you will be gorgeous in your dress no matter what. Hugs!! 🥰

Possibly they called it a Nuns cake, because Nuns live together, thus passing it around to do the mixing. Just a thought.

Seriously though, the non-educated or less educated nuns did the manual labor like cooking, laundry and growing vegetables, while the more educated ones did the artsy and intellectual stuff, like hand painting sacred books, embroidering altar cloths and priest's vestments, or checking the accounting books. If they only had women from wealthy families, they could hire some of the local women to do the chores. This wasn't a "privilege" thing. It just made sense to assign to the educated nuns the kind of work they did, and likewise to the non-educated, because teaching someone to paint or embroider takes a lot of time. The educated nuns have been painting and embroidering since childhood because that was the "education" given to females at the time. Nowadays, it's more equal since everybody gets more or less the same quality of education, so they rotate chores amongst themselves.

Justine. If your wedding dress laces up you can use a stomacher to cover the gap between the lacing. I don't know if it's back or front lacing but you can still use a triangle or rectangle in a similar color or a contrast color. I know you can't get the same fabric but a stomacher would work.

I dropped 70 lbs on Keto, but I'm insulin resistant and had to get down from being pre-diabetic levels (normal hemoglobin a1c now). If you REALLY want sugar or chocolate, erythritol is a good sugar-free alternative and Whole Foods sells it organic and non-gmo. Lily's chocolate is a sugar-free chocolate that's sweetened with stevia. Zevia is a good stevia sweetened sugar-free "soda", I like their cream soda and ginger and cherry ones.

The only thing I could find out about Nun's Cake is it's a variation on pound cake and was typically made with orange flower water (hard to find these days). From Colonial Williamsburg's site.

Smithfield was a huge meat-market in London. So, the wife in the cartoon really was being sold like a piece of meat. The cartoon's concept reminds me of a sketch on the 1975 British series, "Rutland Weekend Television", in which Eric Idle played a farmer who raised beauty queens.

The idea behind so many early American clocks having an image of Mt. Vernon on them, was that we were a young country, and the best we could come up with for decorating our clocks as the Europeans did with their famous castles and palaces - was the home of our Hero - George Washington's Mt. Vernon. It was like.... "Well, we've got Mt. Vernon!"

You mentioned fitting into your wedding dress. I have lost weight doing a carnivore diet, seriously the weight came off without even trying and I didn't have to starve myself, I added more non carby veg back in so I guess now I eat keto and feel amazing as well. Please consider it and watch Dr. Ken Bery here on youtube regarding this. 💝

When my grandmother clock gets out of whack I stop the pendulum, and slowly advance the hands stopping at each hour (or quarter hour, depending on when yours chimes). You have to let it chime, you cannot just whip the hands around. But my clock is not an antique so you should check with a professional!

Justine... Mix: 3 TBS apple cider vinegar 2 TBS lemon juice 1 TBS raw honey 1 tsp cinnamon 1 cup of water DRINK AT BEDTIME TO LOSE 10 LBS IN 2 WEEKS.

I live in Connecticut and Thomaston Connecticut was named after Seth Thomas. Very famous famous for his clockworks. And by the way that mold most likely was for ice cream as that was all the rage in the Victorian 1800s.

Plain cake but hardly easy! My theory is this on the Nuns cake. A Nun wanted to get out of doing other chores around the Abbey so she claimed the cake took 2 hours to mix the batter...then she claimed it took 3 hours to bake which left her baking a cake all day long. Just my theory lol. Loved the mold.

Called a "Pillar and Scroll" clock - and were made through the 1820s into the 1830s. Has a wooden mechanism, and these were one of the earliest mass-produced clocks in the US. Seth Thomas, Eli Terry, Silas Hoadley, etc. were among the first manufacturers of these. I love it! It's a treasure - hold on to it! (To correct the strike - CAREFULLY move the hour hand to line up with the amount of strikes once it goes off on the hour) And yes, it's going to be temperamental - the wooden mechanism can even swell and contract with the the weather. Think of it this way....if you were nearing two hundred years old, you can afford to be fussy!

You can fix the chiming on your own. Set the clock hands to the hour that the chimes ring for, then slowly progress the minute hand (large arm) so you hear the progressive chimes ring, until finally the clock syncs to the actual time. I am in Connecticut, the land of Seth Thomas. I am also a member of the Sons of the American Revolution (SAR) as one of my ancestors, Jesse Burr (the famous Vice President Aaron Burr is my third cousin 7 times or 7 generations removed).

I agree, drink some water before you eat. You are young, still have a high metabolism maybe some brisk walking ror 30 minutes to an hour in the mornings. Watching what you eat, or maybe smaller portions. You can do it! You still have time. You two are just the sweetest. 😄

If the chime is simply off- time, there is usually a wire "lever" that releases the chime flywheel. It's often visible at the base of the face piece. Try releasing it by lifting it up without moving the dial hands, essentially catching the number of chimes up to the correct hour.

Another show, yeah😊

Hi Kids It’s Wednesday I can’t wait to see you guys 🙏🙏🙏❤

Justine, if you really want to loose a lot of weight quickly you should go lowcarb/carnivore for a couple of months. You're allowed to eat cheese burgers (without the bread, sauce & fries!) as well as any meat, fish, & most animal based products (cheese, bacon, eggs etc.... !!!!). It's hard at the beginning but after a week or so it becomes natural. It's amazing as it also helps with many health problems. Good luck !

Just got our Pioneer Days road trip planning started with my Wife. I am looking forward to meeting y'all in person. Fan in Fate, Tx

They should've EDITED that receipt of the TWO. HOUR. CAKE. 😂 Love the clock!! 😍 Love the chicken mold! 😍

Wow what I find impressive is Seth Thomas' business continued from 1807 - 2009! Amazing!

I had to lose 12 lbs to fit into my wedding dress, and i had two months. Also a dress that could NOT be altered. I walked A LOT. I toned down my carbs, but not a crazy diet. I walked 30 minutes in the morning, 1+hour in the evening. Every day. No soda. No candy. I got there, you will too. If it is the bust line - there may be a garment that can adress that for you. Try different options like minimizers? Or custom

Kind of funny about the rose water; my dad used to put rose water in filling of a strawberry pie! Others seemed to like it. I don't really remember how it tasted though.

The receipt has enough to feed a whole village. I wonder if the nuns sustained themselves with bake sales and maybe these were sold as little cakes. Or possibly given as "offerings" when visiting the sick and the poor. I like to imagine that nuns did make them and the only leavening is from the air beaten into the eggs for 2 hours ☺

You definitely made me laugh so hard!!! So much fun watching you stirring for 2 hours. Maybe it’s called nuns cake because it took a lot of nuns to take turns beating it.

I want to come to Pioneer Days so badly….maybe 2025…..this June 2024 my daughter’s wedding!! Can’t wait to see pictures y’all share of your wedding!

My husband is Tunisian and they use a lot of rose water in desserts. When I seed a pomegranate to snack on we will top it with rose water and honey,

Beautiful clocks. I actually have an antique Seth Thomas that I inherited from my grandparents. It's a tabletop style. Justine, I hope you are able to wear your dress ! Ron, I'm surprised you liked the cake as much as you did with the caraway seeds !

The extra cake you cut off the bottom would've made a cute "nest"for the chickie.

Definately take it to a clock smith have it cleaned and synchronized. Then you are correct, Justine, it needs to be level. I have an Friedrich Mauthe German Clock 1860 and it works so good. Wind it weekly and its perfect. Have the click smith teach you how to set the hour arm if it ever gets off sync. Also clocks are better or do better if one person is the one that takes care of them on a schedule. I’m so excited you guys have got a clock that is awesome. I call clocks the heartbeat of the home and I think that they are so important in the rhythm of every day life so I do hope you enjoy it.

Your clock is a pillar and scroll case shelf or mantle clock. It's very lovely. We have an Eli Terry pillar and scroll clock from about 1817, and Seth Thomas adopted Terry's original design. Seth Thomas is thought to have made about 4000 clocks in his time!
