With everything going on in the world today, this brought me great joy. Thank you. I will be putting up my Christmas decorations extra early this year. ❤
Yes indeed! We do need a little Christmas. Thank you Mary for the delightful video and the tutorial on making those charming Christmas ornaments. I love your decorations for your home as well. And Roscoe is adorable . 💕💕
Thank you for showcasing this beautiful book . I have her book French Country Gatherings, and love having replicated her gatherings. Christmas has always been a wonderful and magical time for me.
I agree. The more the merrier! In fact I like pre-Christmas as much as anytime of the yr! So go ahead load us up on the merriment of Christmas readiness!!! Oh, and maybe 1 or 2 Fridays for Thanksgiving. 😉🦃🦃☺️🎄🎄🎄
Wow! Mary, you always manage to create nothing short of pure magic for us followers to enjoy each Friday. If it's Friday, it's Tartan Topiary time, in our household. Also, I think Roscoe makes an especially charming co-host. He's perfection.
I so enjoy your channel, featured books, crafts, and recipes. Your voice is so soothing and your sense of humor is wonderful. Thank you! Oh, and yes to another Christmas book in October.
October is a bit early for Christmas decorations but sometimes you have to go with the fabulous joy and excitement a glittering tree provides for you and your guest's
Yes Mary, please share another Christmas book in October or as soon as possible. Christmas makes me happy and I love seeing beautiful Christmas decor and ideas. Thanks for sharing this beautiful book.
My grandmother told me that the sticky webs are poisonous spiders so be careful….I do love your kitty…does he get mad when you have a mess while you are decorating….my old cat just hated mess….I want to thankyou again for all of your videos and reviews on these gorgeous books…hugs carolyn from Columbus GA
As always you provide us with must needed distractions and the anticipation for the coming holidays. Thank you, look forward to all the books and the after fun you create. ❤
That is great to know and I appreciate it. I felt the same way about the distraction. My thoughts have been heavy this week with all that is going on on the world and this book took me to a happy place.
@@thetartantopiary I know how you feel, the world is upside down and it does weigh heavy. I live in Canada 🇨🇦 Edmonton Alberta where, even though there is violence and even discrimination, that was almost non existent 30 years ago, I still feel blessed with all I have and I think this plays a part in the feelings that some days erupt with such intense guilt, it is hard to get out of that space. This is why, you contribute so much to a normality that we all crave. So please know you bring joy to an otherwise stressful world we live in. Escape is a wonderful thing and if we can hold on to the feelings they invoke, our day going forward will have the light shine a bit brighter. Thank you ❤️ Monique
Well I couldn’t sleep it’s 3:30 AM in mid Missouri. This is just what I needed to watch. It’s never too early to drink a cup of coffee and watch a very good tutorial on the beginnings of Christmas. I was a little sad it End it too soon. I guess I will find another one that you have on here about Christmas even if it was last year’s lol. I’m in the mood for Christmas. Thank you.
Yes to more Christmas books! With the word the way it is at the moment it was so lovely to escape between the pages of that beautiful book for a short while and watch you lovely video. I recently found your channel and have been binge watching episodes. Thank for bringing me joy. Xx
Never too early for the magic of Christmas. Every video of yours is pure delight and brings joy to my soul. Thank you for the happiness you provide with your many talents and calm, soothing voice.
Thank you for this lovely video!! After watching, I ordered this book as a Christmas gift to myself. 😊 The world needs more Christmas so I say "yes please" also. 💖💚❤
Puff the Magic Dragon,a happier and more simpler time,and Woolworths candy,what happened to penny candy?I guess the answer is blowing in the wind.God bless you for giving us beauty and joy when you appear
What a lovely book ... Allison Courtney does it so well. This book, yes, is all Christmas oriented, but it also has a pleasant feeling of home life and decor that supports the Holiday. A book like this in October, supports gently the coming season; it's not blatant so it's easy to enjoy it. Thank you for sharing this one, too!
I love your voice . It’s uniquely your and I so enjoy your book reviews on interior designs . Your attention to details are greatly appreciated. Thank you for sharing , you do a Marvellous job .
Mary and Rosco...I so enjoyed this video. The book is grand and more of the same in October would be fitting. Loved watching you decorate and clean the front porch. Thank you and hope this video finds you well and happy as we all approach Thanksgiving and so much in our country to be thankful for. See ya next week ~ 🎃🎄💕
You are right about that! My thoughts have been heavy this week and it was nice to get outside of my head while I prepared for this video! Have a great weekend.
We shouldn’t put a time when to decorate (my opinion) whatever makes one happy and in a cozy mood. I love Autumn Season especially and you making Christmas items added to both Seasons. They turned out beautiful! Thanks for sharing your video! Helps to keep our minds off things…❤
Thank you so much for reviewing this beautiful book...and sharing the joy. As with many others, I certainly needed a lift this year and your review brought me such joy,
Great xmas book! Yes, please do share more xmas books. It helps me get inspired and start early with preparation. & thank you for the ornament recipe, I will try it too! 😊 Your porch is lovely! ❤ Thank you Mary!
Yes, I always love any Christmas decorating ideas. I am planning on decorating for Christmas this year by Thanksgiving. This way our family can enjoy Thanksgiving and Christmas a little longer. I think we all need the wonderful spirit it gives us!! Thank you for sharing Courtney's vision in decorating. I love it!!
When my children were young, I looked forward to the late evening of October 31st, after the candy was eaten and the children were in bed, to when I could finally take put a Christmas decoration or two. Yes to more Christmas books in October, please.
Hi Mary, This book is a lovely intro to Christmas. I also appreciated that you made the ornaments and the pine cone looked beautiful in your flower arrangement. Watching you clean and decorate the porch was a great transition to fall. Your decorations are in such good taste and pleasing to the eye. Looking forward to the next one….thank you!
