Can I just come to your house? I promise to sit quietly, with a book and a cup of tea, and just soak in all the atmosphere! You create the world I would like to live in!!
Me too we won’t be any trouble x
100 percent agree
Me too?
Me too!!🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️. I’ll pay admission!!
And me! I'll just have to fly in from England ❤
Oh my gracious goodness! You are a magician! I can hardly wait until you post a new video as each one is so fantastic! You give me such inspiration. Thank you!
Thank you so much! You are so very kind, Janice!
Have to agree a 100%. Sherry definitely has a touch of magic in her finger tips. ♥️🥰👍
I'm guessing the cardinal on the book nest only eats bookworms!
😂😂
Cute
Hahaha
And everyone knows that Cardinals are well RED ♥️. Heh heh
The tophat would be a perfect New Years Eve decoration along with a silver champagne bucket, an empty bottle of champagne, champagne flutes, faux plastic bubbles purchased from Temu, a clock set to midnight, etc.😊❤
Love this multipurpose idea, Vicki!!!
@CanterburyCottage 🫠🤩
Use Top Hat for Kentucky Derby decor. Or add bunny ears for Easter
@beckihaff5151 Great minds! haha I was also thinking Kentucky Derby with horses, ribbons, and trophies. I love a theme.😄❤️
Sherry, this is quite possibly my favorite of all your videos that I have seen! Girl you outdid yourself! Merry early Christmas!
Oh, wow, thank you, Kelley! That is so sweet to say! ☺️
@@CanterburyCottage
It all looks so perfect!! Charles Dickens is a Cousin of mine and he would be touched by this... Beautiful!!
We might be related because he is also related to me. My family did a family tree back in the early 2000’s. We found out that he is an Uncle.
The houses are so much cuter than the expensive ones 100% 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
HURRAH, another Canterbury Cottage video.💕🤗💕
Your library looks gorgeous Sherry! Love the red afghan on your plaid couch!🥰❤️❤️❤️
I love how you did the fruit and berry wreath! It reminds me of the Ghost of Christmas Present with all his bounty.
Oh, Gina, I wish I had thought of that to say in the video (but I didn’t)!
You never fail to amaze me with your creations. And vintage Christmas is my favorite.
Thank you so much, Joan! Vintage is my favorite, too!
WOW Sherri, you’ve made this room and all these thrifted items look AMAZNG. Everything you touch looks amazing anyway. You are so clever and God surely has given you a triple lot of talent. Your house always looks stunning. TFS and have a blessing filled week.
I do not want to repeat the things that everyone has written (i agree with the positive responses). So, You have truly inspired me to think outside of the box. Thank you for being you. Fabulous.
Wow, thank you! That is a genuinely lovely compliment!
I love the storybook village houses - especially at night !
Oh, thank you, Christine! 😊
Hello Sherry!! I'm not sure how you do it but in every video she hit it out of the park! So thankful for you, your talent and channel. Thanks for sharing your special gifts with us. Hello to Sweet Edgar 😊
Red and green are such classic Christmas colors sherry x
Your library looks very nice and festive!
The children's chair warmed my heart as it is identical to mine. I still have it, and got it from my Grandma when I was 3 years old and that was 1965. What a treasure for $3.99. I love your channel so much! Thank you Sherry!
I love the “book nest”
Thank you, Chalma! ☺️
Thank you for answering my request for plastic fruit ideas. My husband inherited a bag of these from his grandma estate. I wanted to use them in our decor this year. I know he will be pleased to have them displayed in such a thoughtful way. I hope your Christmas will be everything you'd like it to be. Thank you for all of your hard work. You inspire us all.
You are so welcome! Your comment definitely gave me the idea to incorporate fruit into my Christmas decor this year!
😮😮😮😮That was my face through the entire video! I just love the Dickens christmas vibe❤
You are so gifted and I love watching you.
I ❤ Abe, the typewriter vignette, the book nest, the leather horse & table display, the red blanket on the plaid sofa & the whole vibe!! Thank you for reminding me of the spills of velvet ribbon I forget I have (EVERY year)!! 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
Thank you, Angie! Yes, more velvet ribbon, please!
You always make JAW DROPPING, STUNNING master pieces! Bravo 👏 Like the library fruit wreath. OMG!!! Gorgeous
Love everything you do. Abe is forever grateful for including him in the festivities. ❤️
Oh, thank you! It didn’t occur to me at the time, but Abe and Dickens were alive during the same time period! I wonder how Mary Todd decorated the White House.
I loved your very Dickens Christmas. All the little bows were the finishing touch! TFS
I really really really love that fruit on that reef it kind of put in mind about old-fashioned Christmas and that’s what I wanna create in my house old-fashioned Christmas with all the play and fruit decoration because that’s what they had back in the day
I love your home and style. Everyone is so minimalist these days. Your style is so perfect everywhere you look. It is so inviting and unique. I kinda of decorate the same I love to see all my favorite pieces.
You’re so awesome Sherry! Look what you did to give that tree new life even after not getting all the pieces❤
Loved what you have done to decorate your home. I adore the idea of the book nest. I’m always pleased to see one of your videos come up at this time . As it coincides with my bed time.A warm and one of your videos sets me up for a great nights rest. Thank you Sherry.
Everything turned out so nice. I wish I had your talent to see things and then design and make. Thank you so much for your videos.
You did it again! Everything looks wonderful….so lovely and Creative!
I admire you so much I know you inspire so many of us that like thrift finds! Thanks,have a great week,Terri
Sherry! You are so very creative! And yes, Abe looks smashing in his red ribbon! I loved this Dickens inspired video.
Love it!!!! A Christmas Carol (with George C. Scott) is my favorite Christmas movie. This is beautiful.
You make me so excited to decorate for christmas!! However, my husband and I have a deal that I won't start on Christmas until after Thanksgiving. 😂😂 I usually start adding SUBTLE touches early, though.
With each display i thought, "This is my favorite" then you did another one! Now they're all my favorite. Thank you, Sherry for inspiring us every week.
I just love your house ,very nostalgic❤
Thank you so much, Adrianah!
Wow everything looks awesome, especially the Library. Love your ideas.❤
I was simply transformed, every nook in the library beckoned me to world long long ago, where I would truly love to visit. The beautiful serenity in your home would transform anyone to a world long long ago. I loved every piece of decor and watching you transform things that were made magical right in front of my eyes❤️ I agree with others may I come and just sit a while❤️ absolutely stunning!
WOW!!!! So very very festive and beautiful!! Sooooo many ideas!!!
I look forward to your new video every Monday. You never fail to come up with unique ideas and such beautiful things! I love how you work birds into so many pieces. My mother used to love birds, butterflies and hummingbirds and it always makes me think of her when I see your bird friends. ❤ You are a fearless crafter! Watching you has inspired me so much! I feel like you’ve given me permission to take things apart, to make something new, to paint t over real wood, to cut up a tapestry pillow to make a Christmas tree on a stand and cut up an old sweater, that I will never wear again to make a pumpkin! Thank you Sherry for the inspiration to give me the confidence to be a braver crafter! I just wish I had a bigger house to have more room to display more projects! Much love and gratitude!❤
I live in the English countryside in a 300 yr old cottage....and yet with your Dickensian style decorating you manage to make your home look more 'cozy, moody English country house' than ours! x
Your stuff is so good! I ♥️ Christmas! Thanks for the Christmas cheer!
Good afternoon, Sherry! Oh my goodness! This is the theme I'm going to do this Christmas! Perfect timing!!! ❤, Bobbie.
P.S. My goodness, your library & kitchen turned out absolutely gorgeous. Looks like a traditional English home. ❤❤❤
Loved the plaid and red velvet ribbon
I don't know how anyone could watch this channel even once and not subscribe! I take away fresh ideas each and every time.
You are wildly creative! Love everything! I adore your black bookcase and red leather chair…my colors! Adore your table center piece! ❤❤❤
So, so beautiful, Sherry! Your creativity is off the charts. Your creative ideas are always so approachable and lovely. The book bird's nest is one of my favorites. Thank you, Sherry, for sharing your creative genius with us.
Mondays are always happy when I receive your creative ideas. Thank you because I now look at thrift store items with a multi-purpose eye and new boldness to try crafts.
Hi Sherry. 3 years ago I broke both arms when my dog saw a racoon. Down a flight of cement stairs I went. Being an artist like yourself it took most of the year before I was back at it. I began watching your videos then and reached out to you twice. Both times you responded and I felt so special. Well I am still watching and your projects fill me with so much inspiration. I just wanted to wish you a warm merry Christmas and all the best to you and yours.
Everything was just perfect. All the pictures were my favorite. ❤️
You are amazing! If I had bought that tree and found all the parts weren't there, I would have been heart broken! Yet you found a beautiful way to give that baby a new life! It looked fantastic!
I loved everything. Your talent is remarkable. The Christmas tree was so nice.
I must admit I love the green and red. So festive.
Oh my goodness!!! I would love to come to your home and look at every detail of all your decor and furnishings!! Absolutely stunning!!!❤
I really enjoy every single one of your creations you do with birds this book nest idea is fantastic
I love the small chair by the tree. I cant resist picking up old children"s chairs when I come across them! They look wonderful holding anything, from a plant to a stack of books. And they are often only a few dollars.
Soo nostalgic and reminiscent of simpler times! Gorgeous and the music perfect!!!❤
Those rooms came out so cute. I love the fruit wreath and the bird's nest in the books. You always have such great ideas and place them in your home in beautiful ways. Your videos always brighten up my Mondays! Thank you for sharing your talents.
Everything is just gorgeous. It fits your library room beautifully.
Oh, Sherry! There aren’t words sufficient to describe how much like Christmas it is, to watch your channel and see the things you present to us. It’s absolutely delightful! I love the decor you presented. Thank you for sharing your lovely house and decor and your wonderful personality.♥️🥰
I love EVERY THING you do! The birds nest has to be my favorite! Thank you!
It's so beautiful, warm, and cozy!!
So...that bird nest book you made is probably the most creative and adorable thing I have ever seen! WOW! 🥰 You are so talented. I could watch your videos forever and never stop being amazed!
Love your things you made, the lamp you made into the candlestick look, the nest with the bird and the old book in the lantern and lots of others. I especially like your little tabby kitty adding to the scenery.
I love how the tree turned out! I could spend hours reading a book curled up on your sofa!!
Wow what a feast for the eyes! Your library is the stuff of vintage Christmas dreams!
LOL, as I watched your video, I'd tell myself, "That's my favorite!" Then another segment would be shown and I'd say, "Wait, that's my favorite too!" Decided all of your makeovers in thei video are my favorites!
Your library looks beautiful, so warm and cosy especially at night with the candles, I could sit in there for hours! 😊❤
Everything is lovely
Love how your fur baby supervises you. I just dont know how we craft without them. Lol
Reminders of Christmas years ago. Just beautiful! Looking forward to more beautiful ideas. 🤗
Everything turned out gorgeous 😍
Thank you, Rasha (or is it Rashara?)!😊
@@CanterburyCottage Rasha 😊
Wow, the leather horse was such a great find, and the red ribbon is so festive, thanks for sharing ❤
Thank you, Stacia! I actually found two horses, and someone almost took them out of my cart at Goodwill when I was looking away!😊
@CanterburyCottage I have had that happen also, some people are crazy
My favorite project today were the metal houses with book pages decoupaged on them. What a transformation 😮❤❤
I just love your style. It’s so warm and calming. It would be a perfect setting for tea and biscuits.🥰❤️
That quote from A Christmas Carol is my favorite too. I try to find a place to display it each year. I love you channel, Sherry. You inspire me every time.
Most people would have given up on the incomplete Christmas tree but not you!
It is a beautiful addition to your home. ❤️
Actually the container is a improvement. God works in mysterious ways 😊
It's all so PERFECT & on theme !! Just amazing, thank you.
Your home is the most beautiful I have ever seen. That red plaid is beautiful. My home is decorated with Cardinals and wood type ornaments. I love that open book nest, it is so clever. I have an old bird cage I need to bring out for that. Thanks so much, can’t wait for next week.
I am 9 minutes and 35 seconds in and I just had to pause and come and say "WoW...Sherry...that wreath with the fruit is absolutely stunning!!" You are such a talented lady. Sending all good wishes from the UK. 🎄🍓🍐🍋🍎🍒🎄
Beautiful Tree! Everything is Beautiful!!
Love it, love it, love it all, especially the fruit in the wreath and the black and gold framed images from a Christmas Carol! You got my mind ticking. Thank you so much for sharing!
I loved everything! Your home is so cozy and welcoming! I'm not surprised everyone wants to visit!!!
Your library looks just like one you would see in an opulent English estate!! Beautiful! Thank you for sharing your ideas!
I love the table with the top hat and horse! So many great ideas packed into this video. 😊
So pretty, festive, and relaxing. Thank you
Love the final reveals you have added tfs!
Thanks for sharing all the Christmas decorations made from your thrifted finds 😊😊😊
I do love all your little touches!
Your home is so charming. Perfect for curling up with a good book. ❤️
I love you creativity in everything you do. What a joy your home must be
Stunning cozy place for the holidays!!!
you have a magic touch to decorating vintage any thing. I love what you did on this video.
WONDERFUL!!!!!!
Thank you, Monique!☺️
What a wonderful bunch of Christmas projects you've made!❤ them all❤
What a cozy Christmas room. I love the traditional colors instead of all white or gold or a lot of other modern looks. My favorite is the houses, so cute!
Thank you so much! I’ve always loved traditional red and green Christmas decor.
So beautiful, cozy and classic!! I love plaids and the thermos bottles were a great addition to the classic Christmas theme. Great job!
This just hit the spot. I had yesterday off for veterans Day, so I saved the video for today. Much appreciated after a hectic day. The fox ornament has such a cheeky expression 😂. TFS. ❤❤😊😊
