When you put the camera inside the doll's house it looked like a real house! It's so precious, I love it and love the story ❤

This video touched my heart, my two daughters had a big dolls house and every Saturday morning my mum took them to dolls house club where they made special bits for their house then once a year there was an event at a church where they displayed it proudly. The club was full of old ladies but they loved it and now appreciate the time with their granny that passed away last year ❤

Seeing you with the dolls house was one of the sweetest things ever! It’s such a good reminder of how often our childhood memories influence our adult preferences.

Lydia you are not wrong in taking the doll's house back. Children always move on from their toy choices as they get older. It is a grt idea for you to have it & give it a make over.

Exactly! I think its super sweet of her to lend it to her in the first place

I've been absolutely loving the slower lifestyle type vlogs that you've been doing this last year. I don't know about anyone else, but for me your videos are a little sanctuary where I can escape for a little while, while also gaining inspiration to find little things to add to my own life to make it that much sweeter. Love love love!

I absolutely love your dolls house, and the fact that you lent it to your niece is so special, it’s only right you have it back… no one would ever judge you ❤ the flooring downstairs is stunning x

those bees are very intelligent when running towards Ali with all due respect, your husband is very handsome.

​@@mariaphelan3668I had the exact thoughts!

When the body speaks, we must listen. I’m so glad you took the time for yourself and had a relaxing weekend with your husband and enjoyed your garden and doggies. It’s important to take some time for ourselves and recharge and reset. Thank you Lydia for the reminder. 💕💕💕

Your dollhouse is absolutely beautiful, and what makes it even more special is the story behind it. When I was young, I always wanted a dollhouse but never had one. In my adult life, I finally bought one, and it now sits in my home office. Working on its different rooms brings me so much joy.

Display it in your office. It will look lovely and you can look at it in a space where you are always creatively engaged. Hope you keep those beautiful Tiffany inspired lamp shades.

Just a brilliant tip I was given by an older friend, when I lived in Tucson,Arizona, for burns (most effective if used as soon as possible). Take a raw potato, cut it in half. With a fork rake it so the potato starch comes up. Rub the potato on the burn…do this as long as that burning sensation lasts. The next morning it will be practically gone. At first I thought it was a bit crazy, but it REALLY worked. I hope that helps ❤ Joy from Michigan, USA

Hey Lydia, usually I’m a silent watcher and don’t really comment a whole lot but I have a suggestion for burn remedies! My partner used to work in kitchens and got burned quite a lot and passed this remedy onto me as I am quite clumsy too. It is an ointment called Flamazine. It takes the burning sensation right out of the burn and heals it like magic with no scarring!

Put your red light mask on it and it will vanish. Every day.

I’d always wanted a dollhouse as a child 🥹 such a beautiful gift from your grandfather 🤍

Honestly I would display it in the entry someplace and then I would add seasonal touches like tiny Christmas wreaths based on season or holidays.

Lydia, when your plan for the day ahead involves sorting your seasonal candles, you can truly appreciate what a good life you live!😂

I'm pausing mid way through as I had a thought. You need a vintage LV hat box for all your lovely hats! Its lovely that you lent you dolls house out and now have it back as it was made for you, so have fun with it!

I finally ordered Evergreen… I’ve not started reading it yet but as someone that owns quite an array and vast amount of books… it’s by far one of the best quality and most beautiful books 🤩❤️

For those that don’t use instagram or twitter please let us see you in the Ascot dress and hat ❤

Regarding the dolls house, it was generous for you to share your dolls house with your niece. If you don’t have a child who would want it, you could will it to your niece.

My Daughter & I built & decorated a Doll House! So much fun! Many years later still have it displayed & when Children visit they love to play with the House! Great hobby & many memories! ❤🏡

I honestly don't know why I haven't gotten it yet, But I just looked at your book for the first time! I don't know why, but while reading the bit with you and Carrie taking that walk, I started to tear up. Which, if I had any doubt, ensured me that I need to read your book! And I can relate so much to what you said you were feeling in bed. After my third miscarriage in less than two years, I had every possible negative thought about myself. And though I have gotten through that, the moments of grief are shorter and farther apart now, and I am starting to find myself... Thank you for being you.

You already had an avid follower in me, but I’m SO here for the dolls house journey. Can’t wait to see what you do with it ❤️

Yes he was very calm not like his wife who got a little burn. She wasnt very concerned about him. When she thought it was funny. I am disappointed with her. I had some respect for her but i dont think making fun of someone who must have been in pain in from of the camera and thinking that her audidncd would also be amused in not very maturs not least respectful to Ali who comes accross as a gentleman.

Lydia your Dolls house Brought back so many memories of my Belated dad ,😢 he built my Dolls house for my 6 th birthday i had so many years of joy with it , my parents sadly finally gave it to neighbors daughters ( when i was 18 ) . I still have some cups,saucers,cutlery in a box that i kept 😜. Looking forward to to your Renovation of dolls house Please show us your process from time to time ,be so interesting to see what you find to furnish it 😍. Have a Good weekend 🥰

I like the rustic floor, however I would reconsider having the same floor in the gym as it is important for your joints etc. to have a floor that it not rigid depending on what sport you might do in the future.

Summer has finally arrived here Lydia .. hurrah 👏🌞☺️

I’m from Australia and we grow Aloe Vera in our garden. It gets very hot here, so we use it for burns as well as sun burn. We will cut sticks off and peel them and put them in the freezer so when you burn yourself, you can pull it straight out and put on yourself. Growing it means we always have access to fresh aloe Vera as nothing beats fresh Lather it all over a burn and it’s very beneficial

Lydia. It’s so necessary for women to discuss their physical experience. I suffered debilitating illness from period pain and just thought it was ‘normal’ and then found out I had significant issues. Good on you for sharing. On the confusion issue… consider looking into ADHD as women can be grossly undiagnosed. How you describe it sounds familiar to me… I teach high school kids. Love watching your world unfold. Take care of yourself. I love that you prioritise self awareness.

자연속에서 건강한 여름을 기원해봅니다. 행복한 주말 보내세요!

Cannot wait to listen to summer on my walks 🌺🌼🌺🌼

I love this video! The home update, the summer capsule accessories, the gardening and the ultimate for me - the dolls house!

Can’t wait to see the doll house Reno, Lydia style.

Those precious objects……I understand completely Lydia …..I still have and use my night light that my grandpa bought before I was born….51years ago……it light my way to sleep every night since then…..getting very emotional over here……

Lydia when you burn something no matter is it big or small burn . Painful or not load it with ice as long as you can to freeze burning reaction. You can use special salves with hydrogen peroxide or perhaps wear special plaster for burns . To prevent scaring I would recommend to cover the area from sun exposure to prevent hyper pigmentation that can lead to scaring or uneven skin tone . Vitamin c serum great for healing and you can start using retinol once you can see your burn is almost healed . It will help your new cells to become stronger and even out skin tone .

I chuckle at the idea that Summer is your favorite season being that you present as a summer (light summer) as your color palette. Cool skin undertones and light clear eyes. You look your loveliest in light summer colors. I am an autumn and autumn happens to be my favorite season. I guess we tend to gravitate towards what's natural.😊

I really like the position of the camera while you were doing your tidy up in your gorgeous dressing room.

Lydia, love your dollhouse and how you’re going to design it. And how special is Ali bear from his grandfather. Thank you for sharing these very special sentimental things that come from your family. 😊❤️

You could put it in your office and dress it up for each holiday. Can’t wait to see it this Christmas!

It’s not terrible to take back your childhood dollhouse now that she’s grown out of playing with it! ♡ So sweet of you to give it a new life and let her use it. It now has two little girls who’ve loved it and cherished it and have memories associated with that special dollhouse… how sweet! ♡

We have dealt with many bee and wasp stings over the years. Apply Neosporin to a bandaid and then sprinkle it with meat tenderizer. Apply the bandaid to the sting. The meat tenderizer draws the inflammation out and reduces the swelling. We keep the kit in all the bathrooms for easy acccess. It works.

OMG that doll house is gorgeous! I almost cried! Beautiful Lydia! That is an outstanding new project and I know it will be even more beautiful when you are finished with it!

Oh my God this dolls house 🏠 made me smile, you are so lucky…. I can’t wait to see it finished. So happy for you ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Your new floor is amazing as it is so rustic and looks worn which gives it character. Some people like floors that look new and that is their choice. Your dolls house is amazing. An heirloom for you and well worth fixing up and cherishing.

OMG! your dollhouse looks so much like my first house I bought and lived in for years in Atlanta!

What a lovely vlog , especially about the dolls house ❤

Keeping the burn moist will promote skin elasticity and reduce scarring. Keep it moist consistently. Plain petroleum is the best. I hope this helps.

Lydia I would love to see a video from you on how you prepare for each season!😍

What a wonderful thing to do to lend your dolls house. ❤

We have 2 cats and every summer when we sleep with our windows open, our cats catch the bats, we often wake up with them in our bedroom (still alive). One morning my son had a headless one left at the bottom of his bed 😩

Another wonderful vlog 🌳💖

Absolutely LOVELY vlog. Love your sentimental doll house. ❤

So British with the ice and AC in the bedroom hahaha. I live in California and take all that for granted

Love the floor , i know what I'm going to say now is not the way you are going to do the interior of the room but it's just a way so others who reading this can get more ideas 💁🏻‍♀️ So with linnen & jute & light flowy curtains & a huge sofa with antique paintings with dark & light colors in on the wall with thick original golden frames & a huge natural fiber carpet in a super dark tone with on top a lighter eastern vintage carpet but 1 size smaller so that the darker one frames the top one. ✌🏻🌻

Those shoes ! So many memories 🥹🙏🏼✨

The floor looks beautiful and in keeping with the rest of your home. Well done.

The floor is lovely Reminds of Portuguese/ Spanish flooring

Doll house - how magical !! You are absolutely right, Lydia, keep it, have it on the display, enjoy it !! This is a piece of art !! ❤👌🔝❕❗

That dollhouse is so precious! I have two girls now and I can't wait for them to get into that stage in life. They were always so fun!

Caster oil for the burn Lydia. I gave myself a 3rd degree burn on my stomach with a hot water bottle, and rubbing on castor oil has made a massive difference.

the dollhouse is so sweet, loved that "tour" :) and i love that gramps' tomatoes are doing so well :) i really enjoyed this lovely relaxed vlog and thanks for the chat in the beginning and for explaining etc

Hi Lydia my husband had skin cancer removed from under his eye and what he was given to prevent scaring was a honey cream just a suggestion 😊

Ah, I think the dollhouse would look epic in the wisteria room ❤

You could try wrapping cling film over your burn, after you have applied cream. It helps absorption into the skin. Works for eczema x
