I’m so happy with it!

Linda that’s awesome. What a great deal on the bowl! ❤️ last time I was at the Corbin Peddler’s Mall most of the booths were empty unless you’re talking about a different one. I live in Harlan, Kentucky so we’re practically neighbors! Thanks so much for watching!

@@Melissa.Ringstaff You’re welcome. Thanks for posting!

@@OrangeySky11❤️❤️❤️

Thank you Rita! It’s such a happy, cheerful quilt! ❤️

Hi Tammy! I hope you’re having a good week! I know we’re kindred spirits! So many good ideas for hankies! I may have to steal some of them! 😅 I would love to see your house! Thanks so much for hanging out with me. ❤️

We’re definitely kindred spirits! Do you live in the west part of West Virginia near Kentucky? I’m about 2 hours south east of London Kentucky. I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought the quilt was lovely. I’m so happy with it. 😊 I love that you rescued a sweet quilt and repaired it. What a great idea!

@@Melissa.Ringstaff Yes Have you heard of Marshall University? We live about thirty minutes from Huntington. I watched another video today . Yes, I have trouble with magazine racks doing that too. I have lots of albums piled up in the dining room. I am going to find a magazine rack like that to hold at least part of them, but need to find a record player at an estate sale. That was a great idea. You are going to be busy for your daughter’s wedding…sounds wonderful seeing everyone and I am sure it will be a beautiful wedding. Take time off and enjoy it all. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thank you Jo Ann! I appreciate you being here with me today! ❤️

Thank you Karen! I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought so!

Hi Katie! That’s so cool! Where are you from? I live in Harlan, Kentucky! Thanks so much for watching. I appreciate you being here! ❤️

Yay! I’m glad you liked the quilt too! And there’s just something about a good bowl lol. 😅

Thank you! I appreciate you saying that. Thanks so much for watching and visiting with me today! ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you Sandra! I love that you’re a quilter. What a special hobby. My mom has made me a couple of quilts too. I treasure them. This quilt makes me so happy! 🥰 Glad I’m not the only one who thought it was worth the price!

Thank you Carla! It’s definitely one of my favorites! Just such a cheerful quilt! I love that there are others like me who love old quilts too. 😊 I haven’t seen any other thrifting or antiquing TH-camrs buy them (of course I could totally be just missing them). Thank so much for watching!

I’m glad you like it! Thanks so much for watching!

Yes!! 🙌

Awww thank you! It makes my heart happy! 🥰 Thanks so much for watching, Eunice! It’s nice to see you again. I hope you are well!

Thank you! I thought it was a great deal!

Glad to know I’m not the only one struggling with magazines in my magazine racks! 😅 And Thank you! The wedding was perfect. I’ll have to share a couple photos!

Oh thank you Rita! We actually renovated the kitchen in 2018 after living with it in bad shape for 15 years. It was a 1940’s kitchen and falling apart. It really needed help. I miss the old custom cabinets and I had shelves on each side of the window that I loved. But we couldn’t find a cabinet maker to fix the doors and new hinges didn’t fit (the wood was thicker than newer cabinets and standard hinges didn’t fit) among other problems. I am very happy with the new kitchen though! I bet your kitchen is so cozy! I would love to see it!

@@Melissa.Ringstaff Hi Melissa People either love my kitchen or hate it. My friends are all pretty much into modern. They tell me I have a grandma’s kitchen and I say thank you. When we first married we had an apartment and we wanted modern, then a rented house and with older foster sons and we did not even try to decorate much. They were wild and things got broken . When we inherited this forties house that was originally my husband’s grandmother we suddenly switched gears. My husband had gotten a lot of old stuff from his other grandmother who lived way in the country and out it in storage . I never thought we would use any of it. Anyhow after I got used to this house I did everything in my power to make it look like a fifties kitchen because that is when his grandparents turned it from a fisherman’s cabin to a home. I love doilies, old wooden spoons, all the old red handled spoons and utensils they used then and rolling pins, and crocks. I have a whole set of salt and pepper shakers. I heard that is when you know you are getting older when you have a collection of them..lol I don’t care. I just found a number 2 crock like the one in your video today in London, Kentucky in our old dirt basement. I put it in the kitchen with canes and walking sticks. I try to quit collecting , because my family are all minimalists ….I am a maxamalist. I tell them to have an estate sale when we are boneless I love your kitchen and yes would not not mind upgrading one day. I love your kitchen . ❤️

❤️❤️❤️

Oh what sweet memories! I bet that was fun!

Me too!

Yes! 👏

Thank you Rita! These days I have a slower start to my mornings than I did when my kids were still at home. I don’t have to get up with the sun as often anymore 😅

One of my former clients died. She always sent me Mornings with Jesus . It is a devotional that comes from Guideposts. Her husband is in a nursing home, but I think he renewed that, Guideposts and Real Simple magazine. We have never met a better couple than them, and I miss her so much. We went to the nursing home to see him, but he was a shell of the man we knew before. ❤❤❤

Isn’t it so cheerful? Thank you! ❤️

Thank you! ❤️ The quilts were really nice! And the prices weren’t bad on most of them. I really liked that first one too!

Thank you! 😊 I appreciate you being here!

Ahh yes! I’ve had some good luck with them! I think I’ve been consciously looking for them. That helps 😅 thanks for watching Carla! I’m so glad you’re here! ❤️❤️❤️

Aww thanks Janet!! I appreciate you being here!

We love the old classics! We actually went and saw the Chuck Wagon Gang in concert a few years ago right here in Harlan, Kentucky. So much fun! They were super nice and my husband LOVED chatting with them. Serving trays in a rack is a great idea too! I might have to find another one and put it to use that way!

Thank you! I really do love the planter and pitcher. I’m glad you liked them. Thanks for watching!! ❤️

Oh I love that idea too! I have a huge collection of vintage cookbooks!

Awww thank you! How are you Donna?

Thank you, Eunice! It’s nice to see you again! I hope you are well! ❤️

So glad you’re here, Tammy! I hope you’re doing okay and your family is well!

Quilts can be so expensive!! I get excited when I find a good deal! Old church cookbooks are just so good. I have so many vintage cookbooks I love. A couple years ago as my kids got older and my youngest child moved to college I found myself with more time and no one to travel with (my husband doesn’t usually want to go or he’s working) so I just decided to be brave. It was so hard at first to travel alone. I felt vulnerable and anxious but it’s gotten easier! I’m more confident now. It just takes practice (if it’s something one wants to do). Did y’all get rain this week? I hope so!

@@Melissa.Ringstaff How kind of you to respond. We did get rain , but too late for our garden . I went out this evening, right before dark and pulled up all of our plants in the garden. We really enjoyed the tomatoes this year . Melissa, I do wish I liked driving better. First of all my dad scared my sister and me about driving on busy roads and we call a freeway..not really an interstate. He would scare us about driving it. Then when I was seventeen a friend and I got hit by a drunk driver and she had a broken pinkie and I had a rather large skull fracture above my left ear. I was in the hospital a week. My husband and I were hit head on by a very drunk and high on cocaine young guy when we were younger. My husband was not hurt, but I tore all the tendons or ligaments where the chest plate is ( if I do too much there is a hernia that pops out still, and hurts ) and I had nerve damage in my elbows and wrists…two surgeries there. So, sure that has not helped my dislike of driving.. When I had the skull fracture I heard the nurse say “ Oh my gosh …look at that skull fracture.” I was delirious and laughed and laughed. My dad was a big heck of a man, but when the hospital called him he cried. I was fine, but was told to eat jello with gelatin to heal. I remember my work called and told my mom said she is in the hospital with a skull fracture. They said we don’t care where she is , we need her to come back to work. As soon as summer came I quit that job with the lovely employers🤣. Anyhow, I don’t know if I will ever feel comfortable driving long distances. Luckily, my husband loves going to estate sales as long as there are plenty of manly stuff, especially tools. He also looks for useful household items like lightbulbs, cleaning stuff etc. We both like old stuff. I think your hair looks gorgeous. It is so thick. My hair has been cut by my hairstylist shorter than I like sometimes, but since I am married to him, I usually forgive him and it grows fast. We both are stylists…I think I told you that, but now he cuts grass on a seventy five acre farm and he has not been working because the grass is dead. Hopefully, we will get more rain. Take care my adventuresome friend. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

@@ritastutler1470oh wow! I’ve never been in an accident. I’m not sure how would feel about driving if I had been through everything you’ve been through. That’s scary! Your husband sounds like a wonderful man! And he cuts hair! Hope he’s able to get some work before winter. We need our grass mowed right now 😅 I’m scared to do it because we’re on a mountain hill and my husband hasn’t had time this week. Hope things get better. God bless!

Yes!! Great ideas!

I do get lucky a lot!

❤️❤️❤️

Hi Rita! So nice to see you! Red really is a happy color. It cheers me up. I’m glad to know others collect cross stitch too. I don’t see a lot of folks online use cross stitch in their decorations but maybe I’m not finding the right people. I just LOVE IT! 😊 Hope it’s cooling off there!

Ha thanks!! 😊

Thank you Donna. I love finding unique pieces to decorate with. I love making a cozy space with things that you can’t find just anywhere 😅 thanks so much for watching. It’s actually chilling here in Kentucky today which has been nice. We’re in the mountains and the climate is usually pretty good. What are temperatures where you are at?

Thank you Elaine! ❤️❤️

Oh thank you Melanie! I can’t wait to hang it! ❤️

Thank you! I can’t wait to get my laundry room done. Everything has been on stand still for months now since our contractor passed away. I do love these pieces! ❤️

Thank you Maya! I’m glad to know others enjoy vintage cross stitch too!! ❤️❤️❤️

Oh wow! Have fun!! Let me know if you find anything! ❤️❤️ Thank you for your sweet words!

I wonder if it was a ribbon spool maybe? I have no idea!

Yes!! I can just imagine so many ways to use it. Thanks so much for watching today Carla!

Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️
