"I know everything!" While smiles creepily.
It's a very small town, lol!
The saloon, general store, post office, her place is so many things!! Of course she knows everything 😏
@@cabincrafts2239 Awe, Hi Kandye! I think you're just lovely. Thank you for being a part of these videos ☺️
@@heatherofthemountains thank you Heather. You're very kind!
@@cabincrafts2239 I got nothing on you though! YOU are a sweetheart ❤️
This was such a nice video! I love Kandye’s “lessons”, and her teaching Justine much like a mother would teach a daughter, that (in the story) Justine never had. And in teaching Justine, she teaches us💕
When I was a kid in the 1960's -- a time quickly receding into ancient history, somewhere on a list with 1820 -- lots of those stars were made with strips of colored paper. Usually two colors were used for each star. Sometimes they were dipped in paraffin (wax here in the US) and sometimes glitter and such was added.
I was able to learn the first two basket weaves but never had anyone who would take the time to SLOWLY teach me the rest. People that knew how to do it, did it very fast and they got faster with the curls in the middle. I have not seen any of these stars for years. When I remember them, commercially made fluffy ribbon bows -- shiny ribbon impaled upon a plastic spike -- were just becoming common. I think these commercial products were partly responsible for edging out the paper stars.
Thank you so much for showing us how these were done.
I also dip mine in paraffin and throw mica glitter on them while they're still wet. We didn't dip them on the video due to time, plus, I keep my wax in a modern crock pot. Not too early anerican, lol!
I love listening to candy, she would be a great friend to all ❤️
So glad that Kandy gets to be in your videos.She does so well with you.I’d love to see more of her.
I went to Salem College founded in 1772 by the Moravians in Salem, NC!! Made those stars, the beeswax candles, the molasses cookies and the Love feast buns.
Hello from Central Florida!
Justine, please don't sell yourself short. You are a great lady. You are kind and considerate to people. You are poised. You make and keep a warm, cozy and clean home. You are a wonderful cook. I agree with your friend Anne.
Very little waste in times past. I think it's only since the 1980s that most people became wasteful. I think we need to go back to those ways.
I'd love to see a tutorial on how to make this star! Maybe it can be a good craft for my grandchildren!
I wish I was in Florida right now. It's cold and miserable in Toronto.
@@explodingkitten3331 And, I'd switch in a heartbeat! Miss the change of seasons 😪 . I grew up in NY and actually miss the snow ❄.
For Justine not being able to “read very well” she’s doing an amazing job. My great grandfather was the oldest son of sharecroppers and he stopped going to school in the 3rd grade. Up until the day he died (2019). He studied the dictionary and when he turned 90 he got his GED
Good for your great grandpa!
My grandfather (born 1901) was about the same. He had 17 brothers and sisters. They lived in tents growing up. Quit school in second grade to work. He could only write his name.
Love this. Beautiful star she made
You're welcome!
I'm from Bethlehem, PA and the Moravian stars hang on most porches during Christmas time.
I know! I would love to visit your town and also Old Salem, NC
My grandmother lived through The Depression and she saved paper & twine too.
My grandmother saved EVERYTHING!
Justine is Adorable, and I love the Tavern, and I love what Kandye* does there.
Wow Kandye that is beautiful and quite the talent 💕thank you for sharing it with us!
My pleasure!
It’s such a great tradition, those with more talents teaching newbies!
You are definitely a most elegant lady, Justine, and I love this story line!! I’m from a small farm in Mississippi and growing up we would walk through the woods and collect pine cones and holly and ivy to decorate our mantle at Christmas. The house smelled so wonderfully! Also, there might be some berries that are indigenous to your area that could provide some colors to your decor! Merry Christmas from Mississippi!!
Does your family still own it?
@@explodingkitten3331 As a matter of fact we do! It was my grandfather’s land which was passed to my mom (she was an only child) and now to my brother and I.
Hiya fellow Mississippian. 😊 We have a small farm on family land as well. We also decorate with pinecones and with privet limbs when they put on the berries.
I loved this episode. I loved hearing Kandye's people were from Germany. Ah, yes, the simple days where their American heritage was young and people brought their customs to this wonderful country. I love this about America and I am happy you included it! It shows that the things that we are so familiar with now, didn't necessarily exist for everybody back then, but people found joy in sharing their traditions with each other. This was lovely, thank you Justine and Kandye!
You're welcome! My peasure!
Wow, I had no idea pepper was such a premium item. And salt too! Look at all those beautiful gifts.
Cool I learned something new today, that’s been around along time.I love history.
I am Addicted to this Channel - Such A Sweet and Fun Story Line And I Adore The History! The Cooking and Baking is great too. LOVE that Star! Thanks for the work and effort to bring this to us! ❤️👍
I enjoyed doing it!
Love this! Such a sweet friendship. What a beautiful star!
Thanks!
Your new boss, your friend is certainly perfect for her role You and her are very good together It was very interesting I hope you and Ron have a Merry Christmas. God bless y'all
🌲⭐💩♥️😍
Just love how a vehicle drives by at 2:27 lol.
I live in Germany and we have a lot of those stars, also bigger ones, hanging in the windows, most of them glowing red or yellow. I always wanted to know how to make such a star by yourself, thank you 👍🏻
I love the creativity of old cultures 🥰
I'm from Indonesia. God bless you Justine 💞💞🤗
I’m here! (In cold west Wales, UK 🏴)
Cold here too Alex ❤⛄
We’ve been waiting for you for so long! What took you so long? 😃🤣
Hello Alex!
This video just warms my heart. I remember my mother and grandmother taught me how to make the stars when I was a kid. It just brought me back. Thank you Kandye for showing how to make the stars.
I so look forward to your videos. Keep 'em coming.
My mom grew up Moravian! I love that you are making these!
I love Moravian stars. I’m going to try copying what Candy did here at home. Especially love the tidbit about sugar cones being wrapped in blue paper. It makes me wonder if that could be a reason friends who have Eastern European heritage have blue stars in their Christmas decorations.
I'm a paper crafter. I would LOVE to see a tutorial on that Moravian star again, close up.🙂
I want to try this!
I will see if Ron and Justine will let me do a slower video.
Maybe Google a tutorial ( I will- luv'd the stars). Because I want to see more time spent on Kandye and the possum eater river rat.
@@selah7779 OH my gosh! That's too funny!
I love to see you open packages and gifts.
Enjoyed watching Candy making the star. Great history lesson. Love the videos.
Wow, Justine sure made a good impression on that girl!
Wow! She is very talented and you are a grand lady Justine ☺️
Thank you, and yes she is!
I have heard of these beautiful paper stars, the Polish people make something much different, theirs look like sea urchins , and of course Origami comes to mind, thanks so much for sharing !
I don't know why this made me tear up. Just thinking how wonderful to have such a friend and how sweet you are about compliments. This video seems to cross over between real life and story.
Another fantastic video! I love this storyline. I’m going to find a video to teach me to make the stars, Kandye makes this look soooooo easy! ❤️
I am definitely going to try to make Moravian stars for Christmas! Loved the video. You are a great lady Justine! Hello from 🇨🇦.
Wow! What a beautiful piece of history. Thank you
Thank you for this video, I really enjoy your videos. I used to tell my sister that I was born in the wrong era. Well, except for loving hot showers. "
That was very nice of a friend to send that ❤️
I like your new boss, I hope you do a lot more videos with her
Wow, loved the star she made!
That star is wonderful. Yes, we need a detailed tutorial on how to make them!
Oh what fun, making a beautiful star!! What a wonderful surprise for Justine!!
Thanks! It was fun!
Just beautiful! Thank you Lasses!
I love both of your channels
What a thoughtful gift! All the essentials and special treats too. The paper star was incredible. Thanks.
GREAT VIDEO! Love it Thank you!!
A delightful glimpse of a lost world.....
How the colonials lived.....my own people were
English colonials here in Australia and I often
think about them and their tenacity to live
their lives, raise children,work with only the very basics.
However they did, they survived and thrived and
here were are to prove the point.
Justine would know about saving paper. Future gift wrapping. Cut it for writing paper, wadding for ammo, covering windows in winter for extra insulation, making seasonal decorations, temporary fix in winter for chinking falling out (or old rags), packing for sending gifts, toys (paper birds, whistles), signs, notices, fire starting, so much more... Twine for wrapping things, measuring, gardening, hanging things, cutting and charging for spark catchers, again, so much more.
Could you explain wadding for ammo? 🏴 here... I've never even seen a gun other than in the films lol
@@chaotic_crafter Wadding is for shotguns and muzzle loaders. For modern shotguns, wadding is generally plastic and keeps the shot separated from the gunpowder within the shell. Olden times for muzzle loaders (like muskets) they used paper wadding that was pushed down with a rod. First the powder, then the wad, then the ball or shot.
@@julien.4617 thanks Julie, that is really interesting. I would never have thought of this...
People made their own dye back then,out of berries and other things. all dyes came from natural sources, such as insects, roots, or minerals. Producing them was difficult and expensive. In 1856, an 18-year-old English chemist, William Henry Perkin, accidentally discovered one of the first synthetic dyes. ... He called the dye mauveine.
If my memory serves me any at all, I believe that your paper could also be used to temporarily patch a broken pane of glass in your wonderful windows. I believe the paper would have been oiled first to protect from weather.
Love the Star!
"I know everything!" Lol I go through your mail. 🤣
That was so beautiful.
Jasmine, you have a great friend.
That was so beautiful relationship between you both.
You are truely grand Justine!!!💗
I have made these and they grace my tree each year. My town of Nazareth, PA was founded by the Moravians. You made a lovely star. We also have them made from stained glass.
R u Amish?
@@explodingkitten3331 No. Just happen to live in a town founded by William Penn's daughter and then sold to the Moravians. I'm actually Catholic which is a minority here.
I love anything Moravian! Love the glass ones too!
Those stars are absolutely gorgeous!
Wonderful gifts for Grand Lady Justine!
Hope you master the art of making the stars Justine. They are beautiful!
Look for some natural pigments to prepare for dying paper to make different colored stars.
God bless y'all!
oh yes we need Kandye to do a VERY slow motion tutorial so those of us who are geometry challenged can learn to make this pretty thing. PLEASE
I disagree. She will not be canceled. We just love her and all of the people we have met.
How pretty that little star is...I would like to learn how to make those, even for bows. Thank you for another wonderful video ☺️
Thanks! I'll see if I can get them to let me do a slower instructional video.
Love your videos! This one I really enjoyed. We live very close to "Old Salem" in Winston Salem ,NC. Lots of Moravian history there. Beautiful Moravian stars and wonderful thin spice cookies.
That star is so pretty! When I was a little girl, the girl club I belonged to taught us how to make Juleheter - Danish paper hearts. They are strips of paper woven into heart shaped baskets to hold candy on the Christmas tree.
I've seen those. I like them too!
JulehJerter 😉💕
@@masharozalija9187 😊🧡🧡🎄
Justine can you have a girls night at your cabin and we can all make those paper stars? Or maybe Candy could show us all but just slow it down a lot 😂 I really want to make one
Hi Amy, I want to make one too! I thought maybe we could slow the video down and see if we could work out how Candy did that beautiful star 🌟
Maybe Ican get Ron or Justine to let me do a step by step slower for you all.
A present wowza very nice of your old friend
She definitely made it look easy! Great job!
Nice gift for Justine! Expensive during those days.
So beautiful! This was the first time I’ve heard you reference a convent.
Loved watching the two of you! I wish I would have made it to the live stream. The star is beautiful! 😊
Thanks!
The leftover scraps of paper would make nice rolled beads
I'm here, in NC Mountains...waiting. Cold here too.
Happy Holidays ALL!
Interesting! Would love to visit NC
Happy Holidays Marian
I went to University with a lovely girl who was of Swiss extraction, and she made me a star like this. I still have it, and often wondered how it was made. Please get Candy to do a tutorial!!! I'd love to make one of my own! Thank you so much for sharing this video, Justine! ~Janet in Canada
Moravian Star tutorial- TH-cam. It's a good one. Step by step and precise.
Thought it humorous that Kandye reflexively looked to her wrist when you said there’s about 40 minutes before you open 😀
Pretty star and what a great gift.
It was funny hearing the sounds of the cars driving past
I know lol
oh it would be fun if they made matching aprons to wear in the shoppe with that fabric - it does kind of match the curtains at the windows.
Wiiiitccchhhh! That’s witchcraft what she was doing with that paper. 😂
Ok Ron spill the beans...what did you get Justine?
He shot her a fine buck ! Meat for her larder and a skin for making moccasins!
What a lovely gift from your childhood friend... I wasn’t aware of Jessica’s background, living in a convent. I knew she was employed by her cousin and lived with them before she married Ron. The round box that your gifts were mailed in also looks very pretty and maybe your could use/make something handy or stylish out of it. I enjoyed Kandye’s Paper Star demonstration too! ♥️👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
That is beautiful
Hi Ron and Justine 💕
Love the stars and how to make them. Thank you 🥰👍💐great series. Just found it recently.
What a beautiful gift for you Justine. Thank you for another video from you and Ron
Presents,so nice. Love that paper star,Kandye with a K. Happy Holidays!🎄
Something so simple and so beautiful...Keep those videos coming and Merry Christmas..🎄
Thank you, and a very merry Christmas to you!
I love Kandy's jokes, she is funny.
I only remember making paper strips and attaching the ends to make rings. Then keep attaching till you had the desired length to put on the tree or someplace else. I really like the paper star. Will see if I can make one lol.
There are slower TH-cam instructions out there I'm sure.
I also loved the Moravian Star that Kandye made. I think I will make some and hang them up even after Christmas. I might even make some pastel color ones for Easter and hang on front porch -God Willing.
( The tutorial takes about 20 + minutes)
I think with Ron and Justine's current budget it would be difficult to repeat or do tutorials.
*It might be great to see more on their plot regarding Kandye and the river rat vs tutorial, due to limited budget.
And....Ron and the deer. What will they cook with the deer he caught, etc?
▪︎Found a great tutorial on TH-cam "Moravian Star tutorial"- TH-cam. It's a good one. Step by step and precise. Just in case anyone is interested.
A beautiful way to save paper and twig. Nothing to waste.
I love this instruction for the Moravian star! Want to try it! Merry Christmas
very cool!....thanks for the lesson!
You're welcome!
Wow. That was such a good watch.
Love these videos 💜
I use paper to roll tubes for weaving bowls, ornaments, trays, beads etc. It makes beautiful ornaments
I’m here too!
The star is beautiful
Thank you!
Awesome!
