I love the dogs, and I appreciate your including your 'moment' as we all experience them!
Thank you!
Ugh, I was thinking I was the only one who did that. 😯
Linda,believe me, we all have those moments! Thank you for leaving that “moment” in the video. Many of us can relate!
I’m a native of coastal Georgia, who loves the Traditional style with a twist of Cozy. Many of my new neighbors are from the northeast and have retired on the north Florida, SEGeorgia coast. They decided to try the Coastal style and I am able to thrift their discarded treasures. I’ve lived in several central and eastern states and always gravitate to the Traditional style. It’s just so comfortable.
Sweet Willow! It's too precious how she claimed her bunny! ❤
Lady, you amaze me! Moving the grandfather clock..you are not going to wait for anyone for help. I just love your home so much, it is so warm and inviting.
You are NOT ALONE in your ‘moment’ if that offers any comfort 😊
Quick question- why would you place the grandfather clock over the air vent on the floor???
Also, the store you went to had lovely items however, they were astronomically expensive. It’s nice if you can afford a $125 dish or a $6500 cabinet. It is too rich for most of us, but it is nice for those that can afford it. 😊 love your lovely home and decorating tips! Thanks for your videos! ❤️
I was also wondering about the clock over the floor vent. I would think it would not be safe or good for the clock.
Linda, I learn so much from you and I love your fun personality. Love the dogs and I like you, let my mind take me to a creative place, that I am happy with. Oh! that sweet Willow is the cutest ever.💐❤️
I once heard this analogy,that I prefer to think of ,when becoming forgettable. As we age,so does our brain become more congested with memories,acquired information,ect. That it takes alittle longer,to find room for a momentary thought . Hence,our brain is like a computer,and sometimes it has to be rebooted,or more memory added,🥰 Thank you , for another calming video,to start my day with. PS: I also , am a English porcelain Dog collector,( I love them).
You can tell Willow is a sweet, gentle dog. When the car drove past your home, she didn't charge at the window! I like to move furniture around too, but when I come home from work, they magically returned to their original place. Ben is a good guy! Love, love your purchases. Glad you chose the ceramic dogs.
It is so enjoyable for me to watch your projects and thrift finds, happy spring. Hi to sweet Willow. Yes ,that skirt is fab.
Thank you so much!
I do the same thing Linda, with the brain thing! I just love your videos! I could watch you all day!.I like the thrifting!!!❤❤❤
Willow loving her "baby rabbit" is adorable! The big basket is gorgeous and a great price. A definite lucky find. Thrifting is soooo fun!.
Willow with her baby! 🩷
Fabulous finds…skirt, dogs and mini colander. I have one and use it all the time! It’s refreshing to know I’m not the only one who has “moments”! You ARE a kindred spirit!!
What a great consignment haul. I would have bought them all myself.
Beautiful painting! can't wait to see how you use it! And that skirt is so fun and looks wonderfully twirly ;-) No doubt the Kindred Spirit whose Peter Rabbit was chosen as Willow's new friend feels incredibly honored.
The clip at the end with Willow is so sweet ❤🐇
Willow finally caught a bunny! I love how sweet she is with it! Love your videos & content so much! That feather duster is everything!! I can see you all dressed up with your new skirt just flitting around with the duster; so much fun! ☺🪶
Awww, sweet Willow!! So tender and caring with her new bunny! Linda- I was holding my breath watching you drag that huge grandfather clock!! However I must confess that I do the same thing sometimes rather than waiting for my husband to help me! 🙂I love different decor styles and I love decorating books as well. The porcelain dogs are just beautiful, great find! Thank you and have a great week!
Our first and middle names are not the only thing we have in common. I just gave the same skirt away to our local thrift shop. Hilarious!
Too funny!
Willow is such a sweet girl!
Great finds! Loved the wide selection of herbs at the greenhouse!
I really like that green basket as a centerpiece on your table, its different 🪴
Linda, I love when you go consignment shopping. I love it too! I have been collecting anything dog related for over 51 years now. My collection started when my aunt from Ireland gave me my first little dog figure. I couldn't believe that you were moving your grandfather clock by yourself. Just don't hurt yourself. BTW, did you place it over a heating register? Will that hurt the clock if so? I would hate to see anything happened to that beautiful clock. Keep showing us all your treasures and finds.
I also questioned the placement, perhaps the heating register is not functioning and therefore useless. ?
You have such a good eye for lovely things. And patience to search for them, plus imagination for their uses.
I love seeing Willow always enjoying her window seat spot, looking out the window...❤
Cute strainer, 2 decades ago I ran across one that size in copper with brass handles. It sat beside my kitchen sink for years. Now I want to find it and polish it up so I can enjoy it again.
I love your big basket. I use something similar to fill my fireplace for summer months... usually filled with faux spirea.
Thanks for all the inspiration you give us. Ive been bogged down in outdoor work for weeks. I love being outdoors in spring, but I get behind on housework during this period. I cleaned and put out a few things for Easter some of which are still out.
You inspired me to want to rearrange furniture, dust and make my house fresh.💖
You always find the most beautiful items!!! Be still my heart....Willow...with the story of the bunny!
Willow is so precious with her bunny. ❤
The dogs would of been mine...for sure...love❤
The big basket..so good!
Our style...same.❤
Susan Branch and Mary Englebreit are still alive and making things that look beautiful with Mackenzie-Childs! I have books and calendars from them all, including Suzy Toronto! I love checkerboard. Silhouettes too! I used A COLLANDER for the Solar Eclipse!
Oh my gosh, that large print that you were putting in your car brought back so many fond memories. My mom had that in the dining area of our kitchen for years. I’ve always loved it, I wonder if she still has it. Will you be using it in Sugarwood?
Willow and her baby just melts me. I loved today’s video.
Good morning! Immediately went to eBay and found the Country Living book….if you like it, I know I will…..love your decorating style!
I love that huge basket, your books, your small colondar. And Willow was so cutlte with her Peter Rabbit. She's adorable.
I so enjoy your time with all of us. It is very inspiring and I enjoy the times we go shopping with you. Thank you for all you do.
I am absolutely enthralled with all the greenery you scored out thrifting, that’s a weakness for me. I love tucking greenery throughout my home. ❤
I absolutely LOVE the big basket! You got great finds. Willow is so so adorable🥰🥰. She deserved the little rabbit baby.
Love the dog figurine (happy you got that). Love those comb back Windsor chairs, too, I could see them in your kitchen with a round table. 😊
I learned how to wind our inheritance clock from one of your videos, I didn't even know the glass front opened( till i saw you open yours) and I got close and saw the hinge on the side.. amazing it still had the key!! thanks Linda!!!🎉 Ours is a Regulator A.
Love all your fabulous finds. Those salt and Pepper shakers are beautiful, not to mention the dogs. Do you have the name brand of the shakers?
Thank you, Linda; so fun to see all of your interesting finds! Happy Sunday!❤
What a treat to drink a cup of coffee and enjoy your video!
Willow is adorable with her new baby bunny🐇❤
Hi Linda! Willow looks so cozy sitting there be the window! I could picture myself sitting there with him and looking out at that lovely view! I love your home so much….and that kitchen…My goodness it’s gorgeous!!! I absolutely love your sense of humor Linda! You always put a smile on my face after watching your videos. I could sit at talk to you for hours! I’m so looking forward to my fall and Christmas boxes. Can’t wait to order a Halloween one too!
Willow touched my heart with her Donald Duck..... she is so sweet.
Always enjoy you videos. I usually watch them more than once😊
The dog statue is so beautiful!! Maybe I missed Ho much you paid for that. My favourite thrift is are pretty much anything dog related. I have a Bloodhound, and my favourite find is a large reproduction painting of “Dignity and Impudence “ by Sir Edward Henry Landseer 1839. I just love it!
Oh Linda, you have acquired a “Fly Lady” feather duster. The purple feathers are her signature. I have one. You’ll love it.
Another stellar video , you make me feel like I’m sitting at the table with you . Such a warm feeling .❤
What great finds! Willow, at the end with her rabbit, adorable! Have a beautiful week! 💗
Hi Linda! I laughed when I saw you dragging the clock across the floor!! I thought I was the only one who did stuff like that!!! LOL! Awe sweet Willow!! She is the best!! How sweet how she adopted the little bunny!! Hugs! :)
lol I’m glad I’m not the only one that has moments - enjoyed the video!
I love the little effort to make a moment special.
Linda,
Enjoy your videos each week and had to binge watch them as I discovered your channel this winter. We have so many interests and pleasures in common, I feel I've definitely found a kindred spirit. I live in Bennington,VT and travel through many of the towns you visit and mention as places of interest. I too, garden, cook, decorate/design and quilt, along with visiting antiques shops and most of all love thrifting and filling my 1790 home with treasures! Enjoyed your "moment" as it happens to all of us that have a creative mind that is always in motion. The Yankee ingenuity that you exhibit in your endeavors around your home make you a true New Englander. Sugarwood is a dream home in and outside; enjoy your future years of living there.
I purchased your vanilla and it's a delight to bake with, thanks you!
I love “ a creative mind always in motion” explanation for our lapses! I’m glad you are enjoying the vanilla!
Hello again Linda..Love the items that you have ..I always enjoy the videos regardless what they are ..And Willow is a happy girl with her bunny..So sweet.. Again thank You for everything you do.. Until next time..
Loved watching. Such a beautiful home and very well kept. Homemaking is a joy and you can tell it is a passion for you.
Hello Linda, such an enjoyable video today, especially enjoyed your sharing about Willow and her wagging tail with the Peter Rabbit. 🐰 Also seeing the interesting items from your antiquing trip, which I always enjoy that you take us along. Drawing a blank about the colander, which is so cute & useful, happens to all of us. I love the big basket, thank you for being a great inspiration ☮ Blessings
A fun vlog again today. Hi Willow sitting on the window seat and so sweet with her new bunny. Have a good week Linda.
You always come across the best finds. Willow is so cute! TFS! 🩷🪴🌷
Hi Linda, I agree sometimes just doing a little special treatment as having coffee from a beautiful silver pot and teacup makes the world a better place. I also have a skirt like the one you bought in a beautiful blue with the black flowers, makes me feel happy when I’m wearing it. Your channel always inspires me to treat myself nice
Really enjoyed seeing all of your consignment finds! Love the beautiful ostrich feather duster! I could play with that all day just for the fun of it! When I was young I always wished I could have one (or two!) of those giant Las Vegas showgirl Ostrich feather fans to dance around with like Rosemary Clooney in the movie White Christmas! Ostrich feathers are just so fun and magical! I'm almost 74 and I still think they'd be fun! You made me chuckle when you couldn't think of colander!!! LOL I do that quite often myself! Glad you didn't edit it out! lol The black metal cones actually jogged my mind to remember that I have a similar brass one from the late 70's that I used to have on the brick wall behind our woodstove. I think I will dig it out and give it a black spray and reuse it with some greenery. Thanks for the inspiration! 😊 ~M~
Hi Linda, Thank you for sharing I love all the pieces that you found. I'm sure you will find many uses for all of them. Love the dog statue! The books look like great books as well. Happy gardening! 🌱🌿🌷🌞🐞🐝
Wonderful thrift finds! Can’t wait to see how you use them. Kudos to you for moving that clock by yourself. Thanks for taking us shopping.
Great haul! I too have an ostrich feather duster! I love the dogs❤ I have a collection of about 5 or 6 that my grandmother had. She worked in a fine department store here in Cincinnati called Shillitos and then Pogues! She purchased them, in their fine china collectibles department. They are a treasure to me 😊
Awww so sweet that Willow got a new friend. ❤ enjoyed visiting with you today and it's always a joy I look forward to it. My lilacs opened up today. I so love smelling them. Lilly's of the valley will soon open up too. We had a total eclipse here in Indiana and the sky was so beautiful and I thought of you because you would have appreciated the oddness and colors were so like morning breaking through . A neighbor's rooster crowed too. Love the large basket 🧺 Have a great week ❤
My daughter send me a meme: “Be careful out there driving folks my car just slid into another garden center “ 😂 my daughter knows me well!
Love that!
I love the music that you use for your videos so magical! Puts me in such a great mood❤
Linda, we are the same age and I appreciate that you show your forgetful moments. I don’t like when I have them either 🥴. You found some cute things. If you ever want to come to Georgia, I will take you thrifting and antique shopping. We could have some great fun🥰
Thank you for your "moment"....helps me know I'm not the only one lol lol. All your finds are beautiful. Love Willow ❤❤❤
I love those two pictures on the wall beside the clock.
Awe willow claimed the bunny so sweet loved every item you bought it’s fun to take a day and just go and see what’s at the nursery or consignment shopping love your video
I love your channel, my dog Reagan and I love watching your channel and we love watching for Willow , Reagan loves seeing her ❤
I enjoy seeing how you decorate your home,it is beautiful and you give me so much inspiration. Also your thrift finds and crafts. You should sell the feather dusters and furniture oil you use.
I do sell the oil. I forgot to link it. 😖
A great haul , lol I do have that Mary E. Book I love mine
That skirt is absolutely beautiful
Love willow with his baby lol
So sweet
I love being home doing different things around my home with a cup of coffee
Happy Sunday
That is so me! Glad I me not alone in trying to come up with a name! Lovely finds.
Thank you Linda for introducing us to so many things!
Love your thrifted finds! You have such great taste in everything you choose.
Linda, here's a suggestion for the square wreath. Find a wooden frame that you love that the interior measurements are 2-3 inches wider than the outside of the wreath and hang the frame around the wreath to make it larger.
Am another great video. Great love that little colander and the doggies. Oh my goodness just everything. Have a great week.❤
Great video today as always Linda. Enjoyed watching you show your thrifted treasures. I loved the dogs but the feather duster is amazing.
Don’t worry! I too have a “moment” and often at least once a day and it no longer bothers me. I blame it on “information overload”…. Our brains can only hold just so much. Love the dogs! I would have bought them too!
❤❤❤❤Willow!❤❤❤❤. Adore your style. I'm going to have to expand my consignment hunting. Depleted in my area of Southern Maine. 😮
Linda, I almost had heart failure when you were dragging your tall case clock. I thought the bonnet would come off and break. You go girl! I’m addicted to the dogs. I’m partial to the Staffordshire dogs. Glad to see that you have added. Oh and those toleware wall pockets. Another wonderful find. Absolutely love your style. ❤
Oh I was being very careful of the top. It's used to me dragging it around for years. LOL
I love the dogs and everything you find out shopping!
Your “moment “ had me cracking up. My “moment “ was at Christmas several years ago. I was getting ready to drain the water of the potatoes and couldn’t think of the name “Colander “ to save my life ,so I asked my daughter” where’s your bowl with the holes in it ?” Oh my ! Everyone was cracking up and have never let me forget it ! Blessings to you.
You have such good taste. I need to go to that antique store! I bought a small colander a couple years ago and I swear I use it more than my regular sized one. Mostly for rinsing berries...Thank you for making my Sunday more pleasant. ☕
Love the dogs and the colander. I have the odd moment like that too when it takes me a minute to think of the word. Really don’t like when that happens, but I know it will eventually pop into my head. Lovely haul. I need to start going to these places again and picking up some things. Had stopped because I just had too much stuff. Well I have declutteted a lot, so now time to start again. God Bless.
The clock is a vibe. I’m in love. ❤
So many beautiful things in the antique co-op !!! I will be Googling the driving distance from Keene to New Milford . Thank you !
Linda, when you drew a blank, I thought..welcome to my world. Isn’t it crazy…how the mind takes a break. It comes but might be a minute or two. 🤪
Thank you! I was mesmerized from start to finish! ❤
My favorite, the lovely dogs.
Love all your wonderful treasures ! You always find the best stuff❤
I so look forward to your videos. ❤Thanks for doing these 😊
Great finds Linda, you will love your feather duster, I use one all the time. My favourite find is the skirt it will look lovely with a black top! But Willow took centre stage at the end with her Peter Rabbit toy…. That Face..🥰
So enjoyed this video Linda !! Love your finds and oh ny gosh so glad to see that I'm ot the only one having those MOMENTS !!!
I have a smaller version of that square faux wreath. I find it very versatile. I love your shopping adventures😊
Love all the things you find, And I was thrilled to see you bought Mary Englebreit's Home Sweet Home. I have that book! Haven't looked at it for years..Will have to dig it up. Always look forward to your video's on Sunday when I come home from Church. You really have a beautiful home.
Thanks for another Linda.
🎉Nice😊 loved the pretty skirt and dogs. Can never pass up a basket.
I enjoy watching your hauls and how you plan to use them in your home. I have a teapot that I love and rather than just a single cup of tea, sometimes I prefer to use tea leaves to make a special brew in my pretty teapot.
I have those memory blips all the time! Crazy, huh? Loved seeing all your finds. You have great taste. Makes me want to get in the car and go shopping.
Your thrift store are so much better than ours here in south east Texas. And, I LOVE your house.
Willow reminds me of my Shadow who is no longer with us, she’s so cute. Love watching videos of your thrift finds, so fun!
It would be so fun shopping with you. I love your style!
The trick to keeping Myrtles alive is keeping 8:21 them damp at all times. If they dry out their gone and there no coming back. Sometimes in the heat you may have to water them daily to keep them damp. They love water.
