    1000 times better than anything you would have gotten at Hobby Lobby!!!

      I agree, so beautiful 💜

      For sure so much better than anything store bought! 😅 Love the mirror! ❤

      Especially since they are crooks stealing artifacts from foreign countries and against women’s health care! I don’t understand why anyone especially women shop there or promote them! 😮

      Mary you are amazing as usual. My mother would call this making something out of nothing. Kudos to you.

      the "premade decor" at Hobby Lobby is not that pretty. Your mantel is much more beautiful.

    The wheat jar was a surprise how pretty it turned out .

    You can also use the wine rack as a towel holder in the bathroom

    @jackiebrotzman7197 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +17

    These are my favorite kind of videos that you do! Making something out of nothing is not something that everyone can do - and you do it with beautiful grace. I love your early fall mantle.

    That wheat jar turned out wonderfully! I'd not seen that done before.

    The fabric/canvas pumpkins are very creative! Original and very nice.
    Secretly a bit fed up with all those Halloween pumpkins. This is much nicer.

    As usual everything looks great! You have such a vision for all your finds! I always love hearing the birds when you are working outdoors! Thank you for sharing!

  • @janetstover7793
    @janetstover7793 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    I prefer this over "store bought" purchases. This gives a more natural fall feeling, whereas the purchases are fake and have that overwhelming sense.

  • @krickette5569
    @krickette5569 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +46

    Curating your mantle and decor from thrifted finds is So much better than buying them new. In my opinion. Upcycling thrifted things gives your space more of a homemade feel and injects more of your personality into the space. I Love the wheat jar!

  • @diannehiggs
    @diannehiggs 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +18

    The technique on the jar is amazing! Everything looked so pretty🤩

    @angelahagood3639 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I’ve never been to Hobby Lobby, but your handcrafted thrift finds are one of a kind! People who aren’t creative, like me, are the ones that need already made decor, but not you Mary! You take simple, plain things and turn them into works of art!!! 🙌🏻🥰

  • @araceligomez3735
    @araceligomez3735 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

    Such an entertaining channel. Love all your projects. Those thrift store prices were amazing. Love to see your videos as you travel because I love seeing those Amish buggies on the road. You live in a beautiful part of the country. No chilly mornings here where I live. We are still feeling the heat of summer. Thank you.

  • @bonnieskorupski
    @bonnieskorupski 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

    I was at Michaels today looking for Fall decorations and walked out with nothing. To me, you get much a better quality repurposing thrift store finds. Heading to the thrift store tomorrow. Thanks for the inspiration, Mary! :)

    Mary I wish you well at your booth event-I remember watching a few yrs back when the microburst hit and so much product was damaged but,thank God no one was badly hurt I also recall how shook up you (us viewers)and everyone else there was! Praying for good weather and Memories ✨🤍🙏

  • @melodierussell3825
    @melodierussell3825 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    This turned out so beautifully! The vision you have and the new life that you give to older items is so much better than any cookie cutter item that is massed produced at the big box stores. ❤

    Amazed how you painted the wheat brown and the rest of the jar white! Mirror looks so much better sanded! Beautiful mantle scape!

  • @alicejump2290
    @alicejump2290 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Really created a fine mantle out of thrift store almost junk items! Knowing how to pull together your own individual style and the skill to transform the items is paramount! Blessed fall days!

    On the large pumpkin you can fill in the face with spackeling, wood filler or bondo, sand it.

  • @khantuta

    @diannerempel8262 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

    Your mantel turned out great. I was wondering about the wine rack, but you made it look great! I also love the cute fabric pumpkins. Tip: I keep the stems from pumpkins and squash that I harvest and dry them. I then use them for adding realistic stems to my pumpkin creations.

  • @annmiller7977

    That idea for the wine rack is SO AWESOME!!! I see them all the time in thrift stores and wonder what I can do with them. Thanks once again for an inspiring video!❤

  • @MamaT160
    @MamaT160 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    I laughed out loud when you said "two fairly hideous pumpkins." 😂 They weren't hideous when you got done with them. I love what you did with all the elements for your mantle. I appreciate your creativity and inspiration.

  • @stemple8188
    @stemple8188 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    It’s been such a lovely ride with you as you are growing in leaps and bounds first goes the editing, the music, the different things that you pop in there. I love the one of you under the canopy that made me laugh out loud. Enjoy.

    Even though I love & shop at Hobby Lobby, I decorate my home with items from all over, thrifted & new. I love what you did with your mantle. Once again, you've shown us outside the box decor. ❤

  • @eydiegarcelon8889
    @eydiegarcelon8889 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    This all turned out beautifully. Your little wheat jar, took me instantly back to my childhood! My Mom had about 6 of these, that she used as little canisters on the counter. So just a fun little memory for me of my Mom and childhood. 💜

  • @christinesmith1026
    @christinesmith1026 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Love your ideas. I doodle as well. I've been crafting since a child. My mom was a crafter. I ended up being a commercial artist. I still craft most days. I'm retired now. I love your work. Yes,this is a gift from God. I'm so grateful He gave me and you the ability to do so. See you next video. 👍🤗🙂

    Always, love your thrift over haul. I use a wine rack to display my rolling pins. Maybe slats of barn wood ran thru vertically and use to display littles. As for seasonal use maybe Christmas ornaments dangling inside.

    One tip I’ve seen watching furniture flippers is, they spray a layer of shellac to block the old finish from bleeding. Very beautiful.😊❤

    @joaroy6028 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    You could paint the gold oval frame and put a fall looking cloth under the glass, or print off a fall looking print and put under the glass and make a tray out of it. Great finds!
