Fun flips! Love the print in the Golden frame. If people understood how many books are thrown away at thrift stores, because people isn't buying them.. I work at a thrift stores and we recycle 90 % of the books, because they will not sell. Goodwill bins is the last stop, so if you rescue a book there and use it for the prints, that's great!!

As far as the book, people it was 50 cents and heading to the dump if not for you rescuing it. You have given its pages new life in so many more ways than on a shelf or coffee table. I vote green.

Hi Corey..just started binge watching your videos…they are great!!! I do floral arrangements…just a fyi..glue your moss in first…ez peasy then your florals! So much easier girlie!

The green topiary ball is nice. It would also look cute with some sort of limb broken off and pressed into foam that you push into.th3 bottom of the vase. The hot glue the little green topiary so it looks like a little tree in the pot. The separation the little branch creates between the pot and the topiary ball will give it a more balanced weight appearance.

I think you are so sweet, and I’m not sure why but todays video made me chuckle. Watching you try to attach the wood round to the brass Hosley candle holder had me giggling ( Hosley is vintage brass from India I have one of their brass boxes). I know it wasn’t easy but it was the right call it looked great! I think the green looked better than the white in the rich persons pot 😂. That brown bunny sure made the rounds in this video…I felt so bad for him when the white bunny took his place in the last vignette, lol. I love older books, and I usually hate to see them taken apart, but in this instance I totally get where you are coming from🥰.

Thank you for showing the PRICES per item so clearly, Corey!! And thanks too, for referencing the feedback about making color copies rather than tearing out the pages. You are the BEST for listening to your audience feedback! 😇 The child foam indents were precious. I think by not gluing down the foam down inside though, and instead just pushing it in tightly, would have allowed for more uses by the customer (switch-outs) of the little metal watering can. Thanks for showing the shopping then flipping integrated as you've done. Loved it!! Great job!!
