Karen saw "cat water and food bowls". I saw "queso and salsa bowls".

I love purple clematis! My mom and grandmother had them. So pretty and bloom all summer!

The drawings of the Plaza are very cool! And I love the paint sample one you got for your office - very cool! 1976 Highlights - I guarantee I read everyone of those!

That 1st house estate sale was a gold mine!!! Three lamps for $30 - get outa here! But - you walked right by the estate jewelry cases!!!! I can't shop vicariously if you're going past my bling, Kelly!! 😃

How did I live in the KC area all those years and not make it to Corinthian Hall?? It's the "Philbrook of KC!" Love the architecture!!! That sundae looked delicious. No comment on that Fairy Temple drink?!? I was waiting for you to go to that tree - those glass ornaments were so cool!!!

Oh my word, I haven't seen those peppermint taffy candies with the tree in the middle forever! My dad loved those. That and ribbon candy - every year!

I spy the Little Golden Book "The Monster at the End of the Book"! One of my all-time, favorite read-aloud books to read to little toddlers & preschoolers! It's so cute and fun. I also saw those Guy's Barbecue Potato Chips!! Man I miss those - so good!

St Charles looks adorable. I bet it's fantastic at Christmas!

Love those tiles! That turned out so pretty!

Happy birthday and wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a happy new year! Hope you have a relaxing holiday season. From across the pond.

Yes! Nancy Drew clothes. Such a cool place.

What an interesting place that is. It's amazing that it was a family home, it's just so big. Thank you for taking me along on your adventure. Happy Birthday, Kelly! P.S. And ice cream, yum! One of my favorite food groups!

Hiya. Happy Future Birthday, Kelly. Were those tree decorations glass? Stay safe. All the best to you.

The garland matches great with the wreath. All the decor is very festive!🎄🎅❄️ Merry Christmas

I like the peppermint taffy candies, too! I also like the raspberry filled hard candies. Definitely a bowl of those screams "Grandma's house!" to me. lol The wreath that your sister-in-law made is so cute and pretty. The garland looks nice with it. Thanks for sharing! P.S. In a previous video (Menards Christmas décor trip) you asked me to tell you what new Christmas tree ornaments I bought. I sent an email to you with that info.

It was fun looking through all those handwritten recipes and ones clipped from newspapers and magazines, too. I wonder how many of these recipes she tried. I'm assuming it's a she who collected them. I have to say that probably 3/4 of the recipes sound awful. lol And I'll eat weird stuff. Thanks for sharing!

Fun fact! (Kinda?) my family and I have a ghost friend at the Lexington battle field! I forgot his name even though it’s quite easy to remember! I live near there and I enjoy seeing people go to visit Lexington and other places around! (I can’t tell where I live around there but it’s okay!)

So fun!! Thank you for sharing!

Thank you for this, we really liked it and appreciate your time and great comments! It's going to be a great Christmas and Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and family. May the blessings of health, goodwill, and happiness stay with all of you in the year ahead.

I forgot KC used to have two papers: The Times and the Star.

It is so fun to think of these ladies sharing recipes over the years and now you are reaping the benefits!

Hiya. Enjoyed that and managed to stop myself heading to the shops! Have saved the video for future reference, mind. Here's a hand-written recipe I found for stuffed shoulder of lamb - Bone lamb, Stuff, Tie, Oven cook at Gas Mark 4 for 1 hour. I did laugh at the simplicity. Happy Thanksgiving. Stay safe. All the best to you.

I love vintage cookbooks from the 50's and 60's and 70's-- I use my 1962 Bisquik one all the time- YUMS!- Kimberly

HAPPY THANKSGIVING blessings to you and yours... Kmberly

Great video, thank you! New subscriber here to ALL of your notifications! Kimberly

Look great! The cat is cracking me up. ❤

These look wonderful. I like these recipes that are simple to make, but because they have all those spices they are super tasty. I'm thinking they would be a perfect treat with a cup of tea. Thanks for sharing!

I have little to no Christmas spirit right now. Your trip to Menard's was fun and I especially liked seeing the ornaments. I'm thinking I should get all new ornaments this year just to shake things up so maybe a trip to Lowe's or Walmart (no Menard's here) is in order. Thanks for sharing!

Looks really yummy, Ill have to try it!

St. Charles, MO looks like a nice place to visit. I'll bet it's pretty for the Christmas season.

They have tons of cool items!

That looks delicious

Awesome!!

I had no idea anything this cool was in Missouri. Usually, you have to take a cruise or live out east to find 16 blocks of cool old buildings filled with shops!

Congratulations 🎉

They are all so cute! I like the first one (table) a lot, but the buildings are so fun too!

Pumpkin and coffee!!!

I really liked the pumpkin one but now that I see the town I like that one better, It's more cozy to me.

I apologize ahead of time for my word-vomit-of-ideas: I like the fall town scene, however it doesn't have a coffee specific feel. It's a great generic, extremely cozy small town feel but I don't feel coffee. I haven't read the book so I don't know how important coffee is to the story and therefore I don't know if it should be the table with the cup or the town. I'm thinking that if you go with the fall table/coffee cup cover then the Christmas one should be the table one just to keep the covers a little more consistent in style. If you choose the fall town scene, I like the Christmas marketplace cover that shows the two people. I don't get much Christmas vibe from the light blue marketplace cover. Unless you don't like when covers do this...I think Christmas covers should scream CHRISTMAS. The people-less marketplace cover is a pretty light blue, but I think it looks summery. Can there be Christmas lights on the market stall awnings? I think the candy canes, and the bow on the top of the stalls should be much bigger. If you choose the two people at the marketplace cover, I think it needs some more Christmas details. Christmas colors on the awnings, Christmas-y colors for the quilts or their clothing? Zhoosh it up! Should the people be holding to-go cups from the coffee shop? I'd better stop. I'm overstaying my welcome. Thanks for the video!

Hiya. Re the Fall cover, it's still the vivid pumpkin table cover for me, not the houses. For the Christmas cover, it's the empty, deserted Christmas Market one with no people around that works for me. It's all that and sinister, cold, brooding ... but WHY? Da-da-daah! The other cover with the couple looks TOO jolly, suggesting, yet again, another children's story. You're supposed to be Agatha Christie not Enid Blyton. Just another opinion. Stay safe. All the best to you.

#2!!!!

I vote number one!

I like the designs of the first one with the background of the 3rd (that purple is fantastic!).

First cover!! 😊

I like rhe pumpkin cover. Yes, having series that have similar feel for cover and title is a great way to pull me in when i am looking for cozy mysteries. I cant wait to read yours

Hiya. Tbh, I don't like any of them, but if I was standing in front of a Printer who was telling me to "pick one NOW, the presses have to roll", I'd go for Number 1. Reasons:- The first hints at a tentative connection to cause of death and motive or a complete red herring. The second looks more like a Bob The Builder story for children and the others bear no apparent relationship to the synopsis you read out. Just an opinion. Stay safe. All the best to you.

I think I like 2 and 4 the best : )
