Sponsorships with integrity are fabulous. You are providing a wonderful service for people and deserve to be making money for your work. Perfect combination of service, love and providing for yourself and family. I just happened to run across this first video I've seen of yours on Yahoo news on my phone. So glad I did. Thank you.
Yes, I want to get the drapes too after I get the pergola and put it together. I was going to order the pergola directly from the link you posted but I lost that video before I could save it. I did save the coupon code for $100 off. I sure hope that works going directly to their site as well. I was hurt badly in an ATV accident and can't do much now. So I will be anxious to get my fiance to put it up so I'll at least be able to enjoy the outdoors in comfort. Thanks!
What a beautiful transformation for both day and evening relaxation and fellowship. Thank you for asking our opinion about sponsorships. I don't mind them at all when they are short and sweet and include an honest review of the product just as you did today. I am turned off however, when the videos seem like one big commercial with just a few crafts thrown in. I really had not thought about it till your question but realized that I rarely look at some previously favorite crafters now because of how their channel had moved toward that approach. You strike me as one who would be wise enough to find that perfect balance of sharing good products with us without over-shadowing your wonderful content.
Sherry, your patio turned out so welcoming and beautiful. As far as sponsored videos, as long as you don’t spend too much video time promoting and stick to your theory of only promoting items you would buy, I say go for it! It’s a way for us to learn what new items are available as well. Chances are, if you think it’s quality enough to promote, then we will enjoy learning about the products.
Great transformation of your outdoor space in just two weeks but the curtains are the greatest contributor to the beauty and utility of your patio. As for sponsorship, sending a big woohoo to Nicetown for providing their product, but your integrity in selecting or denying promotion is on point. As a viewer, I appreciate seeing how a product can be successfully used projects (such as IOD) but trust that you won't allow these companies to use your channel as an infomercial site. Bottom line; use items as you see fit but hold the line against commercialism which, imo would weaken the relationship of trust that you have with your viewers/subscribers. Maybe in an upcoming video you can share a sentence-length summary with us of how the majority of your viewers responded to this question. Whew! My response is wordy but I've finished my coffee and am ready to follow your invite to 'let's get started' on this new day full of creative possibilities! Thanks Sherry. Have a wonderful day!
It turned out just gorgeous. Another job well done 😁👍🏻. I don’t mind sponsored video’s and appreciate your honesty about the product. One thing I don’t care for is when a channel turns to having every single video sponsored. Hope you have a great day!!! 😊
I second this! Some channels have almost every video sponsored and I just skip that portion because I find I don't value the content creators opinion as much. However, one every now and then for a product the content creator really believes in is different and appropriate. Sherry, I get so much inspiraton from you and I absolutely love all you did to your patio.
@@CanterburyCottage I do check the Amazon list of links posted below the video when you recommend something--like your wonderful shade structure last week.
Absolutely magical, Sherry! I didn’t think I was going to love the birdhouse chandelier but I think it is one of my favorites now. I say ONE because it is impossible to have only one. I am so glad you feel that way about sponsoring products. I see SO many pushing products that you can tell it isn’t something they truly stand behind. I saw a precious lady yesterday who was sent sheets and she now says she is in love with the sheets and will purchase several more sets. Everything is so expensive and I understand that it is SO nice to receive free products for the cost of time on a video but I appreciate it so much more if it is products truly worth the viewers time and money. I think that is called INTEGRITY and in our world today it is becoming a rather rare quality…yet another reason we are blessed by you!
I agree about the sponsors we really do want someone's honest opinion about products. I love someone that has integrity, there is a sad lack of it anymore. So thank you for being honest! Have a great rest of your week!!
I believe if you promote a product that the product must be something you find to have value and would be worthwhile for your audience. Thank you for showing objects that we might not know about or realize their quality.
Hello Sherry ! Wow, wow, and another WOW!! The patio is just calling you to sit down and relax when ever you can....we all need a place like that right? I feel you handle the sponsorship exactly right...and you gave us a opinion were to buy drapes online that we can trust...I like that. Buy the way, I was right what was in the package, if only I could think like you all the time!!😉 Have a lovely week!! 🙋♀️✌❤
I think that if it's a product that you would buy, as you said, then I think it's productive for you and your sponsor...this is how we find out about some things we haven't or are thinking about buying. I just love everything you have created.
This sponsorship seems appropriate. The curtains certainly brought together the look of your patio, giving it shade and coziness. I love the finished product. I have to admit, when you said you last week you were going to do more, I was skeptical, but the finished outdoor room is lovely. 🏩
Honestly your such a sweet heart...wonderful that you are being sponsored I know yr integrity and you won't drown us in ads and such..promote away you have earned it..🙂🇦🇺
Good morning Sherry, you have created such a welcoming area on your porch, it's gorgeous...I can't wait for Tuesday's to see another video from you. As far as sponsorship goes, do whatever your heart desires honey. You are a real gem 💎 Sherry. I'm just thrilled that I found your channel ❤
Thank you, Kimberly! You are so very sweet! I certainly won’t do many sponsorships because so many offers that I receive are things I wouldn’t buy or use.
Good morning Sherry ~ I actually like when a You Tuber SHARES a product with us. I value your talent using items and value your OPINION on a product. Today’s product is something I have been considering for our Maine Coon Cat’s outside enclosure. It is on the 2nd floor over a flat roof, I have been worried about my husband shoveling snow off it for years and being in his 70’s and no children around…I fixed that issue! LOL!!! Used some of my retirement money and enclosed it with a peeked roof and pet screen ( 24ft by 16 ft ) it is like being in a tree house now! CATS LOVE IT… we love it for them… but most of it faces south… so it gets hot hot hot ! I have to have a window open half way for them to go in and out…so heat comes in during summer . Not so wonderful with A/C running. So those curtains sound wonderful for my issue ! I’m checking them out! I have not stopped thinking about the chandelier with the Bird Houses on it for a week ! I want to find one for our Granddaughter’s Bridal Shower that is “Vintage Garden Party” Themed. It will be inside next May in New York State… we could have snow still… but the thought is there! LOL!! I could attach it to a post in a pretty way to hang ! But I love that chandelier of yours! THEN… oh my goodness, the lamp shade made planter base !!! Another thing I have been trying to figure out !!! I want small ones that look like wrought iron flower pots for centerpieces. Low sitting on the table… I could thrift small chandelier shades with the wire frame and go that line! THANK YOU for the inspiration!! I don’t have a “patio” or a porch ( the cat enclosure I suppose can count…🤣 ) but I have gotten so many amazing ideas for this series on your patio !!! Thank you so much for sharing your incredible visions and talent…and now products with us !! God bless 💛💛💛🙏💛💛💛
Good morning, Jayne! I love that you have an outdoor room for your cats.😻 I have tried to block off our patio, so our cat won’t try to get out. However, if we don’t keep a close eye on her, she always manages to find a way off the patio. I would love to see pictures from your granddaughter’s bridal shower. Perhaps, you could post a few pictures on my Facebook group page.
Your videos are the best part of Tuesday. Sponsorships are good for your channel, but like you said….only if you believe in the product & would purchase it! Once again, great ideas…my favorite was the rock formations. So clever.
So cozy and lovely. The curtains are great. If you believe in the product or are honest about it, I think any sponsor would be lucky to have you mention them. We take notice.
I think it’s wonderful that you found a sponsor…purely selfish reason…find items that I might not have found that is recommended by a friend!!! Know this will help you grow your channel!!! Love your videos 🥰
Hi Sherry, I love your video’s I look forward to watching your new one every week. I have used your ideas several times. I’m on the fence about the sponsorships, sometimes the item takes away from the crafting and thrifting part of that channel. I love the idea of using old thrifted items ❤️. Just my thought 🤷🏻♀️ I’ll still keep watching!!
I think sponsorships are fine as long as they fit with the esthetic of your channel and this did! Happy for you and hope there are more sponsorships to come 😀
Video sponsorships are great things because it brings products to your viewers that they might not otherwise ever know about. Those outdoor curtains are beautiful and the prices are so affordable (even in this economy). Your viewers love your style and if you would buy a product yourself it’s a pretty good bet your viewers would too. Your patio makeover is phenomenal. Just such an excellent beautiful job.
I found my gazebo sheer curtains for my gazebo at Family Dollar here in Colorado. Your curtains are beautiful - will check them out!!! Job well done!!!
Very inspiring Sherri. I thinks it’s a compliment when people ask you to sponsor their products. You deserve to be offered these as long as you stay true to you. 🌷
Beautiful job, Sherry. You are such a hard worker. I don't know what sponsorship means to you, or what it does for you, but I feel it's just another intrusion from a world that is constantly bombarding us with stuff. Have a nice day.
Sponsorships don’t bother me as long as they are relevant and in context, you did that perfectly, your patio is beautiful and I have so many new ideas to spruce up mine!
I love your patio. It’s so welcoming. I agree completely in refraining from supporting sponsors that you personally would not support. I love your channel so much, and look forward to watching your videos on Tuesday mornings.
I think my favorites this week were the rock flowers--so simple but so wonderful! I also love what you did with the lamp shade. I prefer your double planter over the commercial ones I've seen. I really need to rethink passing those old lampshades by when I'm in the thrift store! I don't mind sponsorships if they are for products you truly recommend and especially, if they correlate with the rest of the video in some way. Besides, if getting some sponsors enables you to keep creating the weekly videos I so enjoy, that's even better!!
The last 10 years have me feeling worn. Having so much of my life turned upside down, I never thought I would ever care again about making my home space happy , and charming!! Thank you for your channel. I’m gonna try a few things just so beautiful and simple. God bless you
I am very sorry that the past few years have been so difficult for you. I do think that crafting and decorating can be therapeutic, so I am glad that you feel up to doing these thinks again. Bless you, too! 🥰
The addition of the curtains just set the atmosphere. Such a homey comfortable space. I used drop cloths for my screened in space. Just ordered the solar lights. Lighting always feels cozy to me. Thank you for all your wonderful ideas!
love, love, love the hedgehog and the fairy door! how cute! On sponsorships...you do you. as long as youtubers don't have a sponsorship in every single video, don't mind them. and it helps you! so go for it.
You have once again outdone yourself ! Cozy, delightful., comfortable, unique ! I enjoyed everything including the magical lil touches. The sponsorships did not offend nor aggravate me at all. You have never crammed products down our throats ! You normally build everything from scratch and that's fascinating too 😘
Thanks! I do feel that viewers expect me to find inexpensive ways of decorating, so a part of me felt that I should have tried making the curtains. However, I would have needed a lot of fabric and probably would not have saved that much money.
What an absolutely beautiful place to spend summer. I hope you make time for yourself to lounge around that gorgeous patio and I love the lantern fountain that was totally ingenious
Oh Sherry! Oh my goodness!!!!! Your patio is absolutely stunning! Where do I even start? I loved all of the cute, whimsical ideas that you incorporated. I never thought of putting a fairy door against the house ...how cute, and adorable. The stone shapes were fun too! I loved the water fountain, and lampshade planter. If I had a pergola, I would absolutely love the curtains that you used from NiceTown. Even though I don't have one, I appreciate learning about those quality curtains, especially since you are so conscientious of what you promote. I also have to tell you that this video definitely showcased your sweet personality. I look forward to your videos every Tuesday morning, and I have to tell you that you are definitely comfortable on camera now. It was so great to watch, as I felt you were having such a nice conversation that flowed so easily with us viewers. Stellar video today! Thank you for always sharing such easy, affordable, and imaginative ideas.
Thank you, Lori! I really appreciate your kind words. It is so strange talking to a camera (at least for me), so I am glad that I am feeling and looking more comfortable-it only took me a year!!!😜
So many love ideas, Sherry! As for sponsorships, if you want them go ahead and have them. It's your channel, and business, you have the right to get and give endorsements that suit your aesthetic. Blessings on all fronts!
I admire your integrity when it comes to video sponsorships. I have no problem with a creator featuring a product they like, it helps me out when I am shopping if I know someone I trust is using a product. Your patio is Lovely, day and night! I've been thinking of adding some string lights and seating to my kitchen garden area and you have inspired me to go ahead with it. Thank you.
Thank you, Charlotte! I think the rocks and the fairy door are two of my favorite things on my patio because they are a fun surprise when friends visit me.
Good morning from South Georgia, Sherry. The additions you made to your patio were fantastic today! Loved the curtains and solar lighting especially. Your continued ingenuity is always awe inspiring. Also the use of the fairy door kit attached to your house was whimsical. I liked everything really! As to the sponsorship question, I am of the volition that if talking about the sponsor takes more than a minute of your video that it may prove to be detrimental to your channel. But the decision is yours to make. I’ll still support you no matter what your decide.
Thank you, Lee! I totally agree that 60 second sponsorships are the maximum length that I am willing to do. I am loving my solar lights even from inside my family!
I don't mind sponsorships as long as its a product you can really use and give your honest opinion of. Now outdoor curtains are something almost anyone can use so it was a good one to pick and definitely fit in this video. They added a beauty and warmth to your project.
I absolutely love spending Tues mornings watching your latest video!!! Your creativity is limitless and inspiring! Your patio is gorgeous and I’m sure you’ll enjoy the beautiful space you created! Thank you for sharing your ideas and projects with us!!!🪴🍄
Great great job on the patio !! You always amaze me with your ideas ???? About your question- me myself fast forward through them. But I certainly understand the need to have them. You tube is a business and there are expenses Good luck with your choice. I’ll keep watching but I’ll just fast forward. Lol
The water feature and the chandelier are just gorgeous! I don't mind sponsored videos as long as they are genuinely something that you continue to use in your home or platforms to do with creativity such as etsy, etc. ❤
Oh my goodness your back patio looks like an outdoor space at a fancy resort with Sherrys special touch of whimsy. The fairy door and flowers in the stone path! Love it so much! Yes Sherry you must keep your integrity and believe in the products you are decorating with. On other hand a certain product might open your creativity which we all are excited to see what you do next! I love all you do. You can be selective!
Love the patio, it is so beautiful. As far as sponsorships, I agree with you about if it is something that you were planning on purchasing anyway. I appreciate you testing the curtains out and letting us know what you liked about them. I enjoy your videos very much and look forward to them every week.
a sponsored video that appears to be an honest assessment of a product is fine. What I don't appreciate is when there are multiple products throughout the video that just sound like a continuous commercial. I look forward to your video every week, I enjoy your crafting ones but like to see how you decorate your home as well. The patio is beautiful, good job.
Once again you blew me away with so many ideas to inspire and choose from. I realize that a lot of behind the scenes work time goes into each of these videos. That being said, I join your other commentators on the use of sponsors. I too have moved away from too many sponsored You Tubers. I look forward to Tuesday mornings because I get to visit with you. Thank you.
. You did it again and blew me away with your creative talent! The curtains are awesome and if you say you like them I'm sure they are a worthy purchase. Bring us more please. 0ne question Sherry, do you have the time to relax on that patio??
The patio looks AMAZING!!!!!! Those curtains and solar lights really add a classy, soft element to the purgola. I don't mind the sponsorship as long as it is something you love and recommend for quality, durability and not just for money. Thank you for sharing this amazing transformation.
Hi Sherry. Your outdoor space is just beautiful. So pretty and cozy and relaxing. I see many gatherings and memories being made in your future. I, like many of your other subscribers, don't mind the sponsored videos IF, the host is being truly honest about the product and not just doing it for commercial gain. As subscribers, I think it doesn't take us too long to figure out which youtubers do that. I do appreciate learning about new products and companies that perhaps I have never been aware of before. The curtains made that final touch to complete the look of your pergola. They are perfect!!! For all of us who watch you, we trust your opinion. Thank you for that!!! 🤗 Thank you for caring about what we think!!! 🤗
Sherry❤️I absolutely love the complete makeover…I wouldn’t change a thing. Thank You for asking about sponsorship…it’s nice to watch through your episodes without it being interrupted by a person/crafter selling dog runs…house security systems…ect…and things that have nothing to do with the projects…the one you did today was very appropriate for this episode…and looked so beautiful…this sponsor was a good choice. Love all your episodes and hope they don’t change from what you believe in sharing with us. Thanks Sherry❤️see you next week.
Thank you, Beverley! Some of the companies that have reached out to me for sponsorships, clearly haven’t done their research. My viewers do not want me to tell them about video games (which is a common request)! And, what do I know about video games?!!!😜
A job well done. Now you can sit back and enjoy it! It's beautiful. I agree, sponsor items you will actually use and can recommend based on their quality and functionality. After all, sponsorship is one of the perks of all your efforts on You Tube! ❤️
Wow, you are the “Fairy Godmother” to those of us with a Cottage Soul! Thank you for the inspiration and the step by step instructions. I wish you success in all your goals. 🥰
Your patio looks lovely. A beautiful relaxing space. I have a few water features too that all run on solar. You have given me a few good ideas. I love the curtains. 🌻😊
I kept saying over and over! She is a genius. And I love the curtains and respect your decision to promote only products you would buy for yourself. I have so many ideas now to go off on. I think I will buy those curtains for my gazebos.
I usually fast forward through sponsorships, but you integrated this one so well into what you were actually doing. This video inspired me so much to work on my screened porch. Thank you!!!
Ohhhhhh your patio is just SPECTACULAR!!!!! It's all those small touches that have a MAJOR IMPACT to the wow factor. I truly love watching your channel!!!!! You always remind me to think outside of the box when I'm thrifting/garage saling. As far as sponsors, I think it's ok. As long as you enjoy the item or need/want it. However, with limits.
I think it’s great to use sponsorships, and of course you need to be honest on your review of them. There are a lot of great products you use in your work and it passes them on to your viewers. You’ve earned it.
I'm glad you said you would only promote a company that you would buy from. We need more honesty in this world. Thank you for your videos. I'm always here watching. 🌺❤🌺
It's really important that you really believe in what you advertise. Salute to you! Keep the video flowing... I've been so amazed of your creativeness.
Wow! What a beautiful transformation! I really love the birdhouse chandelier now with the greenery! Everything is gorgeous! And that fairy door… sweet!
Your pergola looks just beautiful. You are so creative. As far as having sponsors, I don’t mind an occasional one, especially when you show how you are using it. I love those curtains. I do find myself buying things I like on vlogs. Enjoy your new outdoor design.
Your patio is lovely! My favorite had to be the flower rocks. It was so simple, but it added little surprises for a big impact. As far as sponsors, you did the hard work to grow your channel. You should be rewarded for that! Plus I also like to see what TH-camrs I follow recommend. Thank you for creating another wonderful video. I have gotten so many creative ideas from you!
Thanks for your honesty about the sponsorship Sherry. I, for one, appreciate it. Love the final look of your patio, I’m inspired. Particularly love your pebble design, the position of the fairy door and the animal stickers. Thanks for sharing. 😊
I think sponsorships are a good thing because I have seen products I would not have ever known about! To me it’s a win win! I love your content and I love the patio! Now enjoy it!
Your patio is so cozy! The curtains really add that finishing touch. I didn’t mind the sponsorship because you kept it short and I appreciate hearing about products that are new to me. I just worry about the wood sticking out of its container. I would be looking at all your pretty things and scratch my ankles against it walking by. Could you turn it parallel inside the box instead of having it protrude out? I always look forward to Tuesday’s! You are such a hard worker and come up with great ideas! Thank you for sharing them!💕
Love the patio! Regarding sponsors, this is your channel and if a sponsor reaches out to you and you like their product-accept it. It helps your channel grow and you get products u love !!!
Sherry, I believe in sponsorships if it's something you believe in. If it's not something that you use and think is a great product then no. I love all your new additions. The new fountain is beautiful. You were so right, of course, about the size of those light's around the pergola, and with all the lights in the plants and your beautiful birdhouse chandelier it creates such a wonderful embiance. I just love it.
*Sherry, it all looks so welcoming, inviting, whimsical and cozy. The addition of the curtains, solar lights, water features, DIY planters, sofa and birdhouse chandelier really set apart your outdoor room and truly made it an extension of your home. 🏡 As for sponsorships; as long as you stick to how you described the way you view them and the standards they must meet with the 60 second promotion, I welcome them, because I like learning about products I may never otherwise hear about that are affordable and practical. Your "gate keeper" mindset is what we need to provide us with trustworthy products you truly support and use that dovetail seamlessly into what your channel is all about❣️😊*
👍👍👍On sponsorships of things you’d actually purchase. My jaw-dropper today is how your Patio looks illuminated at night! What a WOW!!!!! This whole project was an incredible, inspirational transformation! 👏👏👏💕💕💕
I loved the solar lights! around the patio, and yes I appreciate the curtains you put up they're wonderful. I made mine out of painters drop cloth with ties at the top but yours were cheaper but most elegant looking than I have ...I'll be looking for them for next summer to put around my porch. They're beautiful. I appreciate everything you do.,all your ideals are fun, and doable! Love them all!

I have not stopped thinking about the chandelier with the Bird Houses on it for a week ! I want to find one for our Granddaughter’s Bridal Shower that is “Vintage Garden Party” Themed. It will be inside next May in New York State… we could have snow still… but the thought is there! LOL!! I could attach it to a post in a pretty way to hang ! But I love that chandelier of yours! THEN… oh my goodness, the lamp shade made planter base !!! Another thing I have been trying to figure out !!! I want small ones that look like wrought iron flower pots for centerpieces. Low sitting on the table… I could thrift small chandelier shades with the wire frame and go that line! THANK YOU for the inspiration!!
I don’t have a “patio” or a porch ( the cat enclosure I suppose can count…🤣 ) but I have gotten so many amazing ideas for this series on your patio !!!
Thank you so much for sharing your incredible visions and talent…and now products with us !!
God bless 💛💛💛🙏💛💛💛
Good morning, Jayne! I love that you have an outdoor room for your cats.😻 I have tried to block off our patio, so our cat won’t try to get out. However, if we don’t keep a close eye on her, she always manages to find a way off the patio. I would love to see pictures from your granddaughter’s bridal shower. Perhaps, you could post a few pictures on my Facebook group page.
Your videos are the best part of Tuesday. Sponsorships are good for your channel, but like you said….only if you believe in the product & would purchase it! Once again, great ideas…my favorite was the rock formations. So clever.
So cozy and lovely. The curtains are great. If you believe in the product or are honest about it, I think any sponsor would be lucky to have you mention them. We take notice.
LOVE, LOVE , LOVE THE PATIO!!!!
I think it’s wonderful that you found a sponsor…purely selfish reason…find items that I might not have found that is recommended by a friend!!! Know this will help you grow your channel!!! Love your videos 🥰
Hi Sherry, I love your video’s I look forward to watching your new one every week. I have used your ideas several times. I’m on the fence about the sponsorships, sometimes the item takes away from the crafting and thrifting part of that channel. I love the idea of using old thrifted items ❤️. Just my thought 🤷🏻♀️ I’ll still keep watching!!
You will see me next Tuesday.Great ideas like rocks and the fairy door thanks for sharing 👍🤗
You did it again, out of the ballpark! 💕
I think sponsorships are fine as long as they fit with the esthetic of your channel and this did! Happy for you and hope there are more sponsorships to come 😀
I’ve no idea how you come up with your genius ideas week on week but I love that you do ! You are simply the best!
I don't mind sponsorships. Appreciate that you chose something consistent with the content of your channel.
Video sponsorships are great things because it brings products to your viewers that they might not otherwise ever know about. Those outdoor curtains are beautiful and the prices are so affordable (even in this economy). Your viewers love your style and if you would buy a product yourself it’s a pretty good bet your viewers would too. Your patio makeover is phenomenal. Just such an excellent beautiful job.
Sponsors only if you use them!!! Truly 💜 your style!!! Thinking outside the box is your gift to all of us!!! Thanks for making my day better!!!
I found my gazebo sheer curtains for my gazebo at Family Dollar here in Colorado. Your curtains are beautiful - will check them out!!! Job well done!!!
P.S. I used Children's jump ropes as my tie backs. Gazebo is in bright summer colors!!!
So warm and inviting! I’m not big on sponsorships I usually fast forward past them.
Very inspiring Sherri. I thinks it’s a compliment when people ask you to sponsor their products. You deserve to be offered these as long as you stay true to you. 🌷
Beautiful job, Sherry. You are such a hard worker. I don't know what sponsorship means to you, or what it does for you, but I feel it's just another intrusion from a world that is constantly bombarding us with stuff. Have a nice day.
Sponsorships don’t bother me as long as they are relevant and in context, you did that perfectly, your patio is beautiful and I have so many new ideas to spruce up mine!
I love your patio. It’s so welcoming. I agree completely in refraining from supporting sponsors that you personally would not support. I love your channel so much, and look forward to watching your videos on Tuesday mornings.
Looks like a very high end make over!
I think my favorites this week were the rock flowers--so simple but so wonderful! I also love what you did with the lamp shade. I prefer your double planter over the commercial ones I've seen. I really need to rethink passing those old lampshades by when I'm in the thrift store! I don't mind sponsorships if they are for products you truly recommend and especially, if they correlate with the rest of the video in some way. Besides, if getting some sponsors enables you to keep creating the weekly videos I so enjoy, that's even better!!
Looks gorgeous but day and by night! Kudos!
Blessings!
The last 10 years have me feeling worn. Having so much of my life turned upside down, I never thought I would ever care again about making my home space happy , and charming!!
Thank you for your channel. I’m gonna try a few things just so beautiful and simple. God bless you
I am very sorry that the past few years have been so difficult for you. I do think that crafting and decorating can be therapeutic, so I am glad that you feel up to doing these thinks again. Bless you, too! 🥰
The addition of the curtains just set the atmosphere. Such a homey comfortable space. I used drop cloths for my screened in space. Just ordered the solar lights. Lighting always feels cozy to me. Thank you for all your wonderful ideas!
Thank you, Sheila! Love the idea of using drop cloths as outdoor curtains. I’m loving my solar lights at night (even from inside my home).
love, love, love the hedgehog and the fairy door! how cute! On sponsorships...you do you. as long as youtubers don't have a sponsorship in every single video, don't mind them. and it helps you! so go for it.
Everything turned out beautifully.
I wish i was sitting on your patio having coffee with you!!!
I don’t know what I like best. The
Fountain? It’s just over the top! ❤❤❤
You have once again outdone yourself !
Cozy, delightful., comfortable, unique !
I enjoyed everything including the magical lil touches.
The sponsorships did not offend nor aggravate me at all.
You have never crammed products down our throats !
You normally build everything from scratch and that's fascinating too 😘
Thanks! I do feel that viewers expect me to find inexpensive ways of decorating, so a part of me felt that I should have tried making the curtains. However, I would have needed a lot of fabric and probably would not have saved that much money.
What an absolutely beautiful place to spend summer. I hope you make time for yourself to lounge around that gorgeous patio and I love the lantern fountain that was totally ingenious
I didn’t think the patio could look any prettier, but as always you amazed me. If you like a product and would recommend it, get the sponsorships!
Oh Sherry! Oh my goodness!!!!! Your patio is absolutely stunning! Where do I even start? I loved all of the cute, whimsical ideas that you incorporated. I never thought of putting a fairy door against the house ...how cute, and adorable. The stone shapes were fun too! I loved the water fountain, and lampshade planter. If I had a pergola, I would absolutely love the curtains that you used from NiceTown. Even though I don't have one, I appreciate learning about those quality curtains, especially since you are so conscientious of what you promote. I also have to tell you that this video definitely showcased your sweet personality. I look forward to your videos every Tuesday morning, and I have to tell you that you are definitely comfortable on camera now. It was so great to watch, as I felt you were having such a nice conversation that flowed so easily with us viewers. Stellar video today! Thank you for always sharing such easy, affordable, and imaginative ideas.
Thank you, Lori! I really appreciate your kind words. It is so strange talking to a camera (at least for me), so I am glad that I am feeling and looking more comfortable-it only took me a year!!!😜
So pretty and magical! I don't mind the sponsorship "commercials".
Thank you for being a real person who is truthful. And not out just to make a quick buck.
I look forward to your channel weekly.
So many love ideas, Sherry!
As for sponsorships, if you want them go ahead and have them. It's your channel, and business, you have the right to get and give endorsements that suit your aesthetic. Blessings on all fronts!
I admire your integrity when it comes to video sponsorships. I have no problem with a creator featuring a product they like, it helps me out when I am shopping if I know someone I trust is using a product. Your patio is Lovely, day and night! I've been thinking of adding some string lights and seating to my kitchen garden area and you have inspired me to go ahead with it. Thank you.
The curtains are so perfect. I love what you've been able to do!! Its gorgeous. I even love the little rocks!!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Thank you, Charlotte! I think the rocks and the fairy door are two of my favorite things on my patio because they are a fun surprise when friends visit me.
It's all in the details. The little surprises that catch the eye. Great job!
Very lovely. I love my solar lights. Best invention. You could spray your rock flowers with glow in the dark paint.
You work hard to provide your followers with inspiration and ideas on a frugal budget. You deserve to utilize sponsorship!
Your porch looks elegant, ♥️it. Wonderful idea’s
Good morning from South Georgia, Sherry. The additions you made to your patio were fantastic today! Loved the curtains and solar lighting especially. Your continued ingenuity is always awe inspiring. Also the use of the fairy door kit attached to your house was whimsical. I liked everything really! As to the sponsorship question, I am of the volition that if talking about the sponsor takes more than a minute of your video that it may prove to be detrimental to your channel. But the decision is yours to make. I’ll still support you no matter what your decide.
Thank you, Lee! I totally agree that 60 second sponsorships are the maximum length that I am willing to do. I am loving my solar lights even from inside my family!
I don't mind sponsorships as long as its a product you can really use and give your honest opinion of. Now outdoor curtains are something almost anyone can use so it was a good one to pick and definitely fit in this video. They added a beauty and warmth to your project.
I absolutely love spending Tues mornings watching your latest video!!! Your creativity is limitless and inspiring! Your patio is gorgeous and I’m sure you’ll enjoy the beautiful space you created! Thank you for sharing your ideas and projects with us!!!🪴🍄
Great great job on the patio !! You always amaze me with your ideas
???? About your question- me myself fast forward through them. But I certainly understand the need to have them. You tube is a business and there are expenses
Good luck with your choice.
I’ll keep watching but I’ll just fast forward. Lol
The water feature and the chandelier are just gorgeous! I don't mind sponsored videos as long as they are genuinely something that you continue to use in your home or platforms to do with creativity such as etsy, etc. ❤
Oh my goodness your back patio looks like an outdoor space at a fancy resort with Sherrys special touch of whimsy. The fairy door and flowers in the stone path! Love it so much! Yes Sherry you must keep your integrity and believe in the products you are decorating with. On other hand a certain product might open your creativity which we all are excited to see what you do next! I love all you do. You can be selective!
So pretty. I think it's great to have sponsors to make space look beautiful.
I so look forward to Tuesdays. Im inspired by the makeover. Thank you
Love the patio, it is so beautiful. As far as sponsorships, I agree with you about if it is something that you were planning on purchasing anyway. I appreciate you testing the curtains out and letting us know what you liked about them. I enjoy your videos very much and look forward to them every week.
a sponsored video that appears to be an honest assessment of a product is fine. What I don't appreciate is when there are multiple products throughout the video that just sound like a continuous commercial.
I look forward to your video every week, I enjoy your crafting ones but like to see how you decorate your home as well. The patio is beautiful, good job.
The patio come out welcoming. Enjoy your hard work
Once again you blew me away with so many ideas to inspire and choose from. I realize that a lot of behind the scenes work time goes into each of these videos. That being said, I join your other commentators on the use of sponsors. I too have moved away from too many sponsored You Tubers. I look forward to Tuesday mornings because I get to visit with you. Thank you.
. You did it again and blew me away with your creative talent! The curtains are awesome and if you say you like them I'm sure they are a worthy purchase. Bring us more please. 0ne question Sherry, do you have the time to relax on that patio??
The patio looks AMAZING!!!!!! Those curtains and solar lights really add a classy, soft element to the purgola.
I don't mind the sponsorship as long as it is something you love and recommend for quality, durability and not just for money.
Thank you for sharing this amazing transformation.
Hi Sherry.
Your outdoor space is just beautiful. So pretty and cozy and relaxing.
I see many gatherings and memories being made in your future.
I, like many of your other subscribers, don't mind the sponsored videos IF, the host is being truly honest about the product and not just doing it for commercial gain. As subscribers, I think it doesn't take us too long to figure out which youtubers do that. I do appreciate learning about new products and companies that perhaps I have never been aware of before. The curtains made that final touch to complete the look of your pergola. They are perfect!!!
For all of us who watch you, we trust your opinion. Thank you for that!!! 🤗
Thank you for caring about what we think!!! 🤗
Sherry❤️I absolutely love the complete makeover…I wouldn’t change a thing.
Thank You for asking about sponsorship…it’s nice to watch through your episodes without it being interrupted by a person/crafter selling dog runs…house security systems…ect…and things that have nothing to do with the projects…the one you did today was very appropriate for this episode…and looked so beautiful…this sponsor was a good choice.
Love all your episodes and hope they don’t change from what you believe in sharing with us.
Thanks Sherry❤️see you next week.
Thank you, Beverley! Some of the companies that have reached out to me for sponsorships, clearly haven’t done their research. My viewers do not want me to tell them about video games (which is a common request)! And, what do I know about video games?!!!😜
I love how your patio turned. So beautiful and inviting!🌺🌸🌺Chelli
Everything turned out great! I don’t mind sponsored videos as long as they’re sincere and not just gratuitous.
A job well done. Now you can sit back and enjoy it! It's beautiful. I agree, sponsor items you will actually use and can recommend based on their quality and functionality. After all, sponsorship is one of the perks of all your efforts on You Tube! ❤️
Oh my goodness, Sherry, those stone flowers and butterflies, and the little fairy door! Everything looks so wonderful and inviting. ❤️
Wow, you are the “Fairy Godmother” to those of us with a Cottage Soul! Thank you for the inspiration and the step by step instructions. I wish you success in all your goals. 🥰
Your patio looks lovely. A beautiful relaxing space. I have a few water features too that all run on solar. You have given me a few good ideas. I love the curtains. 🌻😊
Good morning, Sherry! Your outdoor space is simply enchanting. It is truly magazine material. The drapery is perfect . Well done as always. ❤
I kept saying over and over! She is a genius. And I love the curtains and respect your decision to promote only products you would buy for yourself. I have so many ideas now to go off on. I think I will buy those curtains for my gazebos.
I usually fast forward through sponsorships, but you integrated this one so well into what you were actually doing. This video inspired me so much to work on my screened porch. Thank you!!!
Ohhhhhh your patio is just SPECTACULAR!!!!! It's all those small touches that have a MAJOR IMPACT to the wow factor. I truly love watching your channel!!!!! You always remind me to think outside of the box when I'm thrifting/garage saling. As far as sponsors, I think it's ok. As long as you enjoy the item or need/want it. However, with limits.
I think it’s great to use sponsorships, and of course you need to be honest on your review of them. There are a lot of great products you use in your work and it passes them on to your viewers. You’ve earned it.
I'm glad you said you would only promote a company that you would buy from. We need more honesty in this world. Thank you for your videos. I'm always here watching. 🌺❤🌺
It's really important that you really believe in what you advertise. Salute to you!
Keep the video flowing...
I've been so amazed of your creativeness.
Wow! What a beautiful transformation! I really love the birdhouse chandelier now with the greenery! Everything is gorgeous! And that fairy door… sweet!
So beautiful as usual you nailed it🧚🏻♀️
Your pergola looks just beautiful. You are so creative. As far as having sponsors, I don’t mind an occasional one, especially when you show how you are using it. I love those curtains. I do find myself buying things I like on vlogs. Enjoy your new outdoor design.
Your patio is lovely! My favorite had to be the flower rocks. It was so simple, but it added little surprises for a big impact. As far as sponsors, you did the hard work to grow your channel. You should be rewarded for that! Plus I also like to see what TH-camrs I follow recommend. Thank you for creating another wonderful video. I have gotten so many creative ideas from you!
Thanks for your honesty about the sponsorship Sherry. I, for one, appreciate it. Love the final look of your patio, I’m inspired. Particularly love your pebble design, the position of the fairy door and the animal stickers. Thanks for sharing. 😊
It turned out ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS..I will be over Saturday at 2:00 and bring fruit salad..!!!! LOL..!!!!!
Your video was so inspiring ❤️ the curtains were beautiful thank you for sharing the company 😊
I think sponsorships are a good thing because I have seen products I would not have ever known about! To me it’s a win win! I love your content and I love the patio! Now enjoy it!
Your patio is so cozy! The curtains really add that finishing touch. I didn’t mind the sponsorship because you kept it short and I appreciate hearing about products that are new to me. I just worry about the wood sticking out of its container. I would be looking at all your pretty things and scratch my ankles against it walking by. Could you turn it parallel inside the box instead of having it protrude out? I always look forward to Tuesday’s! You are such a hard worker and come up with great ideas! Thank you for sharing them!💕
Love the patio! Regarding sponsors, this is your channel and if a sponsor reaches out to you and you like their product-accept it. It helps your channel grow and you get products u love !!!
Sherry, I believe in sponsorships if it's something you believe in. If it's not something that you use and think is a great product then no. I love all your new additions. The new fountain is beautiful. You were so right, of course, about the size of those light's around the pergola, and with all the lights in the plants and your beautiful birdhouse chandelier it creates such a wonderful embiance. I just love it.
*Sherry, it all looks so welcoming, inviting, whimsical and cozy. The addition of the curtains, solar lights, water features, DIY planters, sofa and birdhouse chandelier really set apart your outdoor room and truly made it an extension of your home. 🏡 As for sponsorships; as long as you stick to how you described the way you view them and the standards they must meet with the 60 second promotion, I welcome them, because I like learning about products I may never otherwise hear about that are affordable and practical. Your "gate keeper" mindset is what we need to provide us with trustworthy products you truly support and use that dovetail seamlessly into what your channel is all about❣️😊*
👍👍👍On sponsorships of things you’d actually purchase. My jaw-dropper today is how your Patio looks illuminated at night! What a WOW!!!!! This whole project was an incredible, inspirational transformation! 👏👏👏💕💕💕
I loved the solar lights! around the patio, and yes I appreciate the curtains you put up they're wonderful. I made mine out of painters drop cloth with ties at the top but yours were cheaper but most elegant looking than I have ...I'll be looking for them for next summer to put around my porch. They're beautiful. I appreciate everything you do.,all your ideals are fun, and doable! Love them all!
Thank you! Using drop cloths is a great idea, especially if you want a farmhouse look!
all the additional trim gave your patio an upscale but welcoming look. Excellent job.
very nice Sherry. all the little embellishments added up to a big impact.
