You’re not doing anything weird. In fact, what you are doing is quite rare. You are able to connect with youth through their modern medium, without being “cringe.” In fact you’re quite the opposite. Genuine, honest, kind hearted and you embrace the age gap which so many people have a hard time coming to grips with. The kids of today lack the type of energy you are conveying, and I have no doubt that leads to your success. That’s not to say you aren’t entertaining other age groups. You certainly are! I hope your children are supportive. Congrats. Great speaking voice - soothing - … and you’re also interesting because even though you are speaking of your past, it’s selfless.
I fully subscribe to your words. In addition, the theme he uses seems very original to me, it transports us back in time. A great job! Congratulations Jeannie!🩵
ASMR is a very very important community. No need to be embarrassed. What you provide is a very necessary service for the betterment of peoples mental health all over. As a viewer I can undoubtedly say we love having you with us! We appreciate you so much!
@@mrsprimo999 I didn't think that way as a teen either. Things like this didn't start to become important to me until my mid 20s. (I'm 27 now) It will happen!
"Mom has a secret life we don't know about" -- lol. Happy you are moving up the reveal date, your children will be so proud of you when they read the appreciative comments from folks from all over the world, of all ages thanking you for your calming, soothing, positive, re-assuring, comforting videos. God bless you and your family Jeannie!
My 8 month old son had kidney surgery today at Arkansas Childrens Hospital…he’s good and in his recovery room, and your voice is my wind down from this long and draining day. I hope your kids know how grateful your fans are for you and the ASMR art you create. 💕💗
I am a very quiet viewer and I only discovered your channel a few weeks ago, but your videos make me feel safe. I just wanted to point that out. Thank you for what you are doing! Much love from Germany
i don’t normally listen to videos if they involve the asmrtist rambling about their real life, but your personality shines through so wonderfully in the way you speak that i couldn’t stop watching! you seem so delightfully authentic and deserve many, many more subscribers.
Jeannie your story in the beginning had me CRACKING UP 😂 trust me when the kids hear how well you’re doing on here and how many people you’ve helped out, I know they’ll be proud 😊 I would also be glad to send a video over your way for the big reveal!
Usually hearing about asmrtists/youtubers personal life makes me uneasy and I just skip to the part I came to see... but you hiding your asmr career from your relatives, being afraid they'll find out before you tell them and being challenged by instagram and video clips was so funny and so sweet! If my mum had an asmr channel I'd be proud and impressed! I'm sure your family felt the same 😊
You can “remove follower” until your secret is out! And “hide my story” should work but they’ll still see their posts if they still follow you and/or you’re public! Hope this helps ☺️ excited to hear what they think!
@@JeannieBASMR don't post any more on Instagram til the reveal!!! OMG this is so exciting!! I have never made a video of myself in my life, so I will try something new and send it just for you!! :) Sending LOVE and THANKS from New Orleans 🥰🥰🥰
@jeannie b. asmr I wouldn't post any more of the "new video is up" posts on Instagram...but keep the more personal posts for now. I believe she could still search your name and see your posts unless you have your profile set to "private."
What a fun problem to have! Yes I do think telling them the secret at Christmas is a great idea. Hello Jeannie’s family (when you see this). We love, love, love your mum’s content. Xx
I'm on my lunch break at work and I'm laughing hysterically. I can't believe you're hiding from your kids lol. You always brighten my day. In reference to the quick videos, what would you like us to say? Not sure I would do it though. No promises. Love the blouse, as always you look beautiful!
I find myself homesick for days gone by. I grew up during the 80s and 90s, but I long for simpler times. Your channel is absolutely enchanting and I’m ecstatic that I’ve found you! Thank you for wholesome, vintage ASMR ❤❤
I'm an 80s child and I have a catalog from every year in that decade. They are expensive! We bring them out at Christmas and relive our childhoods. I love your channel!
Tell your kids you are the next big ASMR artist! Your voice is so amazing, soothing, and sends some serious tingles! Not to mention you are just such a lovely woman with such a welcoming presence. Thank you for being you! :)
The Betty's tea caught me off guard! I'm from Harrogate where the original tea rooms are, i knew that it was famous but never realised it was world famous! Glad you enjoy it and love the video!
So excited to hear how the family reacts. I think they will be so proud. You've made this such a welcome space for all of us. Thank you Jeannie! Sending you all the positivity from South Africa.
I’m excited to watch this. My siblings and I had a fairly tumultuous childhood but one thing that always brought us joy was going through the Sears Christmas catalog and choosing what we would like Santa to bring. We chose pages and pages worth. Obviously we didn’t receive most of them but it was fun to wish and dream. I remember like it was yesterday. ❤️
@@JeannieBASMR I’m watching now and just saw the plaid pants for boys. We have many photos of my brothers in those groovy trousers. 😂😂 Thanks for triggering some fun memories. You’re fantastic! ❤️
I was having a very anxious day, feeling totally off-kilter. I put this video on and felt instantly soothed. You have a very calming presence! I'm sure your family will understand your new pursuit in an instant.
I would love if my mom or grandmother had an asmr channel like yours. You tell such wonderful stories from your life. Long after you are gone your kids and grandkids will be able to access your gentle voice whenever they miss you. What a blessing that is!
You’re truly one of my favorite ASMRtists! You have such a comforting, warm, and kind aura about you and we can feel it through your videos! I hope your children are as proud of you as we all are as your loyal subscribers 🤍
You radiate positivity and tranquility; I cannot thank you enough for starting this channel, just what I’ve been needing! Sending you much love, Bori xx
Hello from York! 😊 I will look out for Carol 😊 I have been following your channel for a while and feel blessed to have discovered you. When you mentioned Betty's in a previous video I couldn't believe it as I live in York! Thank you so much for all your videos. They have helped me a lot with insomnia and anxiety and racing thoughts. You are wonderful 😘❤️ thank you xxx
@@JeannieBASMR as York isn't a big city I wouldn't be surprised if I've crossed paths with Carole at some point 😂 it's a small world 🌎 When I passed Betty's yesterday I was admiring the beautiful Christmas window display and thought 'i should send a photo of this to Jeannie!' ❤️
@@gabigorin1326 Oh, if you pass Betty’s again, take a selfie with and send to me! Or tag me or whatever! Lol!! We should let them know how popular they are on my channel! 🤣😄😄
I grew up in the 80’s and 90’s and my sister and I spent hours going through the Sears catalog and circling everything we wanted. Kids today will never know how something so simple brought us so much joy.
Ah, the Bicentennial Year. I remember that era with such nostalgia. I think I've mentioned that very year on your channel, before. :) I seriously doubt that I'll see the TriCentennial, and, NO, I wasn't around for the First Centennial, LOL. So, I'm glad I was around for the 200 Year one. It truly was a once in a lifetime event. And it was just a very cool year.
How funny! The photo of the red womens suit you said hid a multitude of sins....is the exact outfit my mom wore bringing me and my twin home from the hospital in 1977! She was 38 and my dad was 48. She went in to be induced with a single baby and surprise, there were two of us! We came home in a Dodge Dart. That catalog brings back memories. I was always so excited to get that catalog every year, of course I'd flip directly to the toy section.
This was just great - thank you Jeannie! I love hearing the stories from the 70's my grandmother tell - South Africa only got television for the first time in 1976, and my grandparents were some of the first people in town to get a set and put up a TV tower. Despite the bad reception, they used to get so many visitors over the weekends who would want to look at this new wonder, that my grandfather took his harvest yellow Mercedes Benz out from the garage for fear the floor of the lounge above it might collapse 😂 (this happened once at a different house...) The TV set also had wood siding and no remote control - my grandmother still had it 40 years later and I remember when I first watched The Sound of Music with her, I had to get up to turn the volume button up or down on the set itself. She also still had a microwave with wood siding and turnable controls when I was small, and she said that when microwaves first came out here, someone at a cafe heated up a whole can of food in it and that's how the community found out why you shouldn't do that 🙈 We take modern technology and colour schemes which do not give you headaches so much for granted these days! It's great to hear from people who lived through the time of innovations.
I absolutely love watching these kinds of videos and what appeals these videos to me a lot is that I wasn’t born anywhere near the 1976’s so seeing what was trending is so intriguing! ☺️
It's almost 2am in Australia and I've just discovered your channel. You have such a genuinely beautiful personality and calming voice. I hope you reach your 100k soon. I love diving into other time periods for a glimpse into the past. Thank you 🤗
This was really a hoot! I was 6 years old at Christmas 1976, and I probably went through that same catalog at the time marking out what I wanted for Christmas! One of the kids outfits that was shown I actually had. I couldn't believe it! Thank you for the fun time machine trip!
I’m an 80’s baby and my mom speaks so much about her teen years in the 70’s and seeing your videos make me so happy cause I now know why my mom loved the 70’s so much. You also help me sleep in peace ❤ Can’t wait to hear what your kids think of your TH-cam channel
It’s so funny because I’m a vintage reseller and I see so many things in this catalog that I’ve thrifted and sold! The mushroom canisters are very trendy right now 🍄❤️
I love this video ☺️ from a 19 year old girl I think 70’s style is awesome and timeless! I’m sure your family will appreciate your content like we all do! ❤ 🤗
It was too perfect when she said “the beautiful browns and golds of the 70s” and then the very next page was filled with brown and gold corduroy suits 😂
This is hands down one of the best ASMR experiences I’m had in a very long time. What a sincere, charming personality. The first part of the video feels like a conversation with a friend. Thanks for a great video, Jeannie.
Oh I’m dying!!’ 😂😂😂 you are so fun and sneaky! I was working out three days ago and I thought, “ I wonder if she has told her family yet.” I think I’m getting pretty invested in this story!😂🎉
I’ve never been so patient with hearing someone’s story! I loved it! I’m so glad that I found your account ~you are beautiful ~and your voice is extremely calming 🥰🥰
I found your channel about a month ago and have fallen asleep to your voice every night since then . The only problem is that you are so interesting to listen to that I go back and listen again while I’m awake. I appreciate your vulnerability so much . I also have no doubt that your kids will love what your new venture is....and that they already think their mom is a rockstar! You inspire me !
Awesome video!! I was born in the late 70’s so this was like a nostalgic trip back in time. Thank you Jeannie for all of your wonderful content it is pure bliss & relaxing.
"old is gold" .. I love any vintage item ❤️ I always watch the old Egyptian movies ( black and white) because I adore these times ♥️ specially the fashion it was really stunning and wonderful 💞
Your last few remarks are so true!!! You truly are in my humble opinion the best representation of a true American woman🇺🇸 When I think of the long lost nostalgia americana I think of the good old days, when our ‘Merica was still young and naive. But when I think of the true American girl, from your name to everything else, I think of you Jennie B! Thank you for bringing us the best from the past with these amazing videos 👏👏
Your watch!!!!!!! Omg I swear I had one just like that when I was like 8/9 yrs old!!!! I was born in 1980. I love your top!!!!! Plus I love watching your videos!!!!! ❤
You might get to 65K before Christmas. So that solves that problem immediately. Less than 700 away. You'll get there sooner than you think! On a side note, I found you through Rea Moon and am glad I did. You both bring maturity and elegance to a niche that started with a bunch of kids from my generation. These videos help build presence and peace. Keep up the good work.
Just found this channel, your voice is so relaxing. As an 18 (almost 19) year old I absolutely love older styles ranging from the 50’s to the 80’s. Love the video 😊
I love this so much, I was laughing out loud when you described how you were gonna talk to your kids in a video :) I cannot wait to hear about their reactions, I imagine they'll think it's so funny and then be so proud
I remember when I was a kid back in 1976/My Grandma had catalogs and I would look at them if I got bored /,This brings back my childhood memories /Thank You
What makes vintage catalogue browsing very interesting is the cost comparisons (adjusted for inflation) in today's dollars. Color television was still quite expensive and even then, was not yet in every home. Many folks would "rent to own" such appliances. The TV at $349 in 1976 would convert to the equivalent of about $1700 in 2022. Not cheap, even for a less than premium brand. Microwaves were outrageously expensive too, and were still a novelty. My family didn't get our first color TV until 1974 when my dad had "saved" enough to purchase outright. It was a Motorola "Quasar" with 'solid-state works in a drawer' that had the first transistor module panels that would easily slide out if it necessitated repair. He made his decision based on the ratings of Consumer Reports magazine. I also recall "Zenith" was another popular top brand of the era. These gadgets were almost as expensive as buying a car in those days.
I looked up the price of the microwave and was floored. $279 in 1976 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $1,461.25 today, an increase of $1,182.25 over 46 years. The dollar had an average inflation rate of 3.67% per year between 1976 and today, producing a cumulative price increase of 423.75%.
@@therealJamieJoy Yes, microwaves were actually out of reach price-wise for most until the early 1980's. I recall the first one to the domestic market was the "Amana Radar Range" and it cost almost $500 in 1967. For comparison, one could buy a brand new 'entry level' car for between 2 - 3 grand in those days. So imagine how expensive that toy would have been for the kitchen. Remember too, that credit cards in those days were only given to folks with a very high and long-established credit-score, so purchasing expensive items was only within the realm for those that could truly afford them without creating a crushing burden of debt. A very different world we live in now.
@@c3cubed We had a microwave in the mid 70s as did both my sets of grandparents. I realize how privileged my family was at times when I don't expect it. We didn't live ostentatiously but did have a lot of home luxuries. For example, we had one of those HUGE Tvs that sat on the floor with a real wood cabinet and built-in speakers on each side. My father had a reel-to-reel deck for music.I don't think my families used credit cards, but they did have "charge cards" for various shops and they were paid at the end of the month -- like American Express type cards but for a few local department stores, including Sears. Thank you for the conversation. I have learned a lot looking into these exchange rates and looking up old products.
@@therealJamieJoy Yes, charge cards were popular, but only for those with good credit. I do remember my mom using a "Chargex" card in dept stores... It was the precursor to what later became Visa.
I used to have a picture of me at about age 6 in 1973 or so wearing my favorite outfit, a bright red and blue plaid pants and a matching red shirt! Much like the one on a page of your catalog!
Oh, Jeannie, this is really special for me. Every year as a child we would look through Sears catalog to choose what to put on Santa's list. 1976 was my last "magical" Christmas where I really knew about Santa, but I truly and definitely did NOT want to know. I had a little brother who would have been just turning six years old at the time. I'm convinced my family went hard on keeping the secret because knowing me I would have ruined it completely for my sweet little brother. hahahaaa I'm actually happy I was able to enjoy the magic this one last time. Thank you, Jeannie. ❤💚❤💚❤💚
Thankyou, I live in a small town in France and work at a boulangerie, gotta get up so early and I couldn't sleep for sooo long but you have changed that, love it, goodnight x
This is brilliant 😂 I’m not sure how you can put the cat back in the bag short of just deleting your instagram until you’re ready to let everyone know…? You’re great at what you do and it obviously brings you and your audience a lot of joy, what more could someone want 😊
1976 was the year my son was born... a good year! Love your channel Jeannie... blessings and Grace to you xxx P.S I used to live in Yorkshire and we went to Betty's in York and Harrogate and Ilkley for breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea. It's the best! XXX
As your TH-cam /Subscriber adopted daughter (self-proclaimed lol). I don't mind you doing ASMR videos. Believe me when I said that you have helped a lot of us, to feel relaxed. You personally helped me, while I was having a panic attack, a few weeks ago. So thank you, from my bottom of my heart. You deserve all the incoming subscribers. Have a nice day.
I really apreeciate your voice, the tranquility on it and its amazing to see all your cool colletions of magazines. Its like time machine. I make me so in piece ,you're a blesse.I have so many panic ataques and i'm really thankfull that you're spending this time with me, with us.Thank tou so much miss Jeannie.🤍
Hi Jeannie, I am reading a journal from 1975 and 1976 and the writer talks about items she bought from a catalogue. I have been able to source the catalogue and the exact pair of shoes and dress in it! Unfortunately it is a PDF version so I can't flip through, but it is so exciting to see the things that people wore. Many of them can be picked up in vintage fairs and the shoes are like those I buy nowadays. I love your videos! And the cat of course.
The cuts to your husband doing the Sears Catalog Model pose were funny AF 😂😂 I love all the plant stands, my mom said gratuitous houseplants were VERY popular back in the '70s (especially with those macramé hangers) and I wish I had some of them.
I definitely agree Jeannie, do it at Christmas before they catch on themselves, especially as I know you mentioned you were eager to film the video regardless so this way you won't have to be overly eager and desperate for the excitement like a kid on Xmas morning. An idea instead of just videos for the reveal is comments, for those who wouldn't want to film themselves? Loving the videos as always, and love the blouse! Xx Plus the crinkles, the second I heard one I had shivers, truly meant to be, such incredible sounds!! P.S. Hi Carole! 👋
Good morning from the little farm town of Collinsville, OK! Population 8,000. I’m a Cherokee Nation citizen living in the Cherokee Nation. Just thought you would like to know how widespread your reach is. Great video, Jeannie. Can’t wait for the big reveal.

I think I've mentioned that very year on your channel, before. :) I seriously doubt that I'll see the TriCentennial, and, NO, I wasn't around for the First Centennial, LOL. So, I'm glad I was around for the 200 Year one. It truly was a once in a lifetime event. And it was just a very cool year.
Your videos are unique. There is no such thing on TH-cam. Please continue. It's amazing!
Gosh, thank you so much!
I used to love going through the JC Penney catalog every Christmas 💚
How funny! The photo of the red womens suit you said hid a multitude of sins....is the exact outfit my mom wore bringing me and my twin home from the hospital in 1977! She was 38 and my dad was 48. She went in to be induced with a single baby and surprise, there were two of us! We came home in a Dodge Dart. That catalog brings back memories. I was always so excited to get that catalog every year, of course I'd flip directly to the toy section.
What a great story! And my first car was a 67 Dodge Dart! 😁
This was just great - thank you Jeannie!
I love hearing the stories from the 70's my grandmother tell - South Africa only got television for the first time in 1976, and my grandparents were some of the first people in town to get a set and put up a TV tower. Despite the bad reception, they used to get so many visitors over the weekends who would want to look at this new wonder, that my grandfather took his harvest yellow Mercedes Benz out from the garage for fear the floor of the lounge above it might collapse 😂 (this happened once at a different house...)
The TV set also had wood siding and no remote control - my grandmother still had it 40 years later and I remember when I first watched The Sound of Music with her, I had to get up to turn the volume button up or down on the set itself.
She also still had a microwave with wood siding and turnable controls when I was small, and she said that when microwaves first came out here, someone at a cafe heated up a whole can of food in it and that's how the community found out why you shouldn't do that 🙈
We take modern technology and colour schemes which do not give you headaches so much for granted these days! It's great to hear from people who lived through the time of innovations.
I love your story! Thank you for sharing this!
Greetings from York Jeannie, I’ll watch out for Carole! I love your channel, your voice is so relaxing xxx
Jeannie has a really great energy. Super warm and positive.
Thank you so much! 🥰
I absolutely love watching these kinds of videos and what appeals these videos to me a lot is that I wasn’t born anywhere near the 1976’s so seeing what was trending is so intriguing! ☺️
Glad you enjoyed it!
It's almost 2am in Australia and I've just discovered your channel. You have such a genuinely beautiful personality and calming voice. I hope you reach your 100k soon. I love diving into other time periods for a glimpse into the past. Thank you 🤗
Thank you so much!!
I really hope your family will be proud of you because we are all behind you. Your videos are so delicate and really relaxing! We love you Jeannie! 🥰
And, It's great to see you have UK friends!! I'm from the UK 😍
Thank you, lovely Jodie!
This was really a hoot! I was 6 years old at Christmas 1976, and I probably went through that same catalog at the time marking out what I wanted for Christmas! One of the kids outfits that was shown I actually had. I couldn't believe it! Thank you for the fun time machine trip!
I saw a few outfits..a night gown...toys... Halloween costume..😁
I’m an 80’s baby and my mom speaks so much about her teen years in the 70’s and seeing your videos make me so happy cause I now know why my mom loved the 70’s so much. You also help me sleep in peace ❤ Can’t wait to hear what your kids think of your TH-cam channel
They are proud of me…but in all honesty, they don’t watch my channel! 😊🤣
It’s so funny because I’m a vintage reseller and I see so many things in this catalog that I’ve thrifted and sold! The mushroom canisters are very trendy right now 🍄❤️
Me too!
I love that there's someone my mom's age doing ASMR! It's very calming and comforting 🥰
Glad to be of comfort, dear Melissa! XO
I love this video ☺️ from a 19 year old girl I think 70’s style is awesome and timeless! I’m sure your family will appreciate your content like we all do! ❤ 🤗
Thank you so much!!
Oh my God the comfort I felt immediately upon hearing your voice. It felt like a warm hug 😭 subscribing immediately 💖🙏
Wow, thank you! I appreciate this!
It was too perfect when she said “the beautiful browns and golds of the 70s” and then the very next page was filled with brown and gold corduroy suits 😂
So so excited for your big reveal Jeannie! I'll definitely send over a wee video. It's the least I can do for how much you have helped me ❤️
🥰♥️♥️♥️
You are such a gem, kinda reminds me of my grandma who passed nearly 10 years ago. I wish you nothing but the best, for everything
♥️♥️♥️
Jeannie reminds me a lot of Lady Diana! She is just as beautiful and classy as she was. Wow!
Thank you!
This is hands down one of the best ASMR experiences I’m had in a very long time. What a sincere, charming personality. The first part of the video feels like a conversation with a friend.
Thanks for a great video, Jeannie.
Wow, thank you! I appreciate you, friend! 🥰
Same. This is totally different from the other ASMR I usually watch, but in the best way. She really seems lovely.
Oh I’m dying!!’ 😂😂😂 you are so fun and sneaky! I was working out three days ago and I thought, “ I wonder if she has told her family yet.” I think I’m getting pretty invested in this story!😂🎉
I think your daughter should totally be proud of you! You are awesome!
I’ve never been so patient with hearing someone’s story! I loved it! I’m so glad that I found your account ~you are beautiful ~and your voice is extremely calming 🥰🥰
My grandmother passed away before I was bored, so lucky to watch an elegant old lady ASMR channel. Thanks, Jeannie.❤🥺
I remember the last time I went to a sears back in 2015. Sad to see so many nostalgic department stores are gone! Amazing vid per usual ❤
Thank you, Kay! XO
I found your channel about a month ago and have fallen asleep to your voice every night since then . The only problem is that you are so interesting to listen to that I go back and listen again while I’m awake. I appreciate your vulnerability so much .
I also have no doubt that your kids will love what your new venture is....and that they already think their mom is a rockstar! You inspire me !
Aw! I love this! Thank you for sharing with me! And welcome!!!♥️♥️♥️
Be proud of what you do! You‘re a so wonderful Asmr-Artist…🤗
Soft spoken and classy I love it. Relaxation at its finest. Thank you for sharing this superb gift you grant us. 💝
Awesome video!! I was born in the late 70’s so this was like a nostalgic trip back in time. Thank you Jeannie for all of your wonderful content it is pure bliss & relaxing.
The puffed sleeves on your shirt make me think of Anne Shirley in Anne of Green Gables. I absolutely love that story.
Loved that show!
"old is gold" .. I love any vintage item ❤️ I always watch the old Egyptian movies ( black and white) because I adore these times ♥️ specially the fashion it was really stunning and wonderful 💞
I love that - “old is gold!” ♥️🥰♥️
You are so funny 😆. I really love watching your videos when I get to bed ❤️ it’s soothing, homey, like a precious mom kind of thing 🙏
Your last few remarks are so true!!! You truly are in my humble opinion the best representation of a true American woman🇺🇸 When I think of the long lost nostalgia americana I think of the good old days, when our ‘Merica was still young and naive. But when I think of the true American girl, from your name to everything else, I think of you Jennie B! Thank you for bringing us the best from the past with these amazing videos 👏👏
Wow, thank you!
This was so cool and relaxing seeing some of the fashion of the 70's✨💜
Oh how excited I was when the Sears Wish Book came! I’m certain I looked through that very one as a child. I was mesmerized by the clothes.
They were awesome! 😁
Your watch!!!!!!! Omg I swear I had one just like that when I was like 8/9 yrs old!!!! I was born in 1980. I love your top!!!!! Plus I love watching your videos!!!!! ❤
Aw, thank you so much!
You might get to 65K before Christmas. So that solves that problem immediately. Less than 700 away. You'll get there sooner than you think! On a side note, I found you through Rea Moon and am glad I did. You both bring maturity and elegance to a niche that started with a bunch of kids from my generation. These videos help build presence and peace. Keep up the good work.
Aw, thanks! I love Rea! She’s a kick! We’ve developed a friendship and I’m just so thrilled to be in such excellent company!
🥰♥️🥰♥️🥰♥️🥰♥️🥰
I just bought Jean Nate bc I was feeling nostalgic. I wear it to work. It makes me feel calm and cozy.
Just found this channel, your voice is so relaxing. As an 18 (almost 19) year old I absolutely love older styles ranging from the 50’s to the 80’s. Love the video 😊
Welcome! I love having younger folks here!
Well this brought back a lot of good memories. My dad worked for Sears & Roebuck and many things in that catalog we had!
I love this so much, I was laughing out loud when you described how you were gonna talk to your kids in a video :) I cannot wait to hear about their reactions, I imagine they'll think it's so funny and then be so proud
Thank you, Anna! 🥰
I remember when I was a kid back in 1976/My Grandma had catalogs and I would look at them if I got bored /,This brings back my childhood memories /Thank You
It is my honor!
This is so exciting!! I do enjoy the content and absolutely calms after a long day with a teen, 5yo and baby!! So thanks 😊
How rad ur a rock star now they gonnaa love it!! Great job!!
What makes vintage catalogue browsing very interesting is the cost comparisons (adjusted for inflation) in today's dollars. Color television was still quite expensive and even then, was not yet in every home. Many folks would "rent to own" such appliances. The TV at $349 in 1976 would convert to the equivalent of about $1700 in 2022. Not cheap, even for a less than premium brand. Microwaves were outrageously expensive too, and were still a novelty. My family didn't get our first color TV until 1974 when my dad had "saved" enough to purchase outright. It was a Motorola "Quasar" with 'solid-state works in a drawer' that had the first transistor module panels that would easily slide out if it necessitated repair. He made his decision based on the ratings of Consumer Reports magazine. I also recall "Zenith" was another popular top brand of the era. These gadgets were almost as expensive as buying a car in those days.
Yes! I agree!
I looked up the price of the microwave and was floored. $279 in 1976 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $1,461.25 today, an increase of $1,182.25 over 46 years. The dollar had an average inflation rate of 3.67% per year between 1976 and today, producing a cumulative price increase of 423.75%.
@@therealJamieJoy Yes, microwaves were actually out of reach price-wise for most until the early 1980's. I recall the first one to the domestic market was the "Amana Radar Range" and it cost almost $500 in 1967. For comparison, one could buy a brand new 'entry level' car for between 2 - 3 grand in those days. So imagine how expensive that toy would have been for the kitchen. Remember too, that credit cards in those days were only given to folks with a very high and long-established credit-score, so purchasing expensive items was only within the realm for those that could truly afford them without creating a crushing burden of debt. A very different world we live in now.
@@c3cubed We had a microwave in the mid 70s as did both my sets of grandparents. I realize how privileged my family was at times when I don't expect it. We didn't live ostentatiously but did have a lot of home luxuries. For example, we had one of those HUGE Tvs that sat on the floor with a real wood cabinet and built-in speakers on each side. My father had a reel-to-reel deck for music.I don't think my families used credit cards, but they did have "charge cards" for various shops and they were paid at the end of the month -- like American Express type cards but for a few local department stores, including Sears. Thank you for the conversation. I have learned a lot looking into these exchange rates and looking up old products.
@@therealJamieJoy Yes, charge cards were popular, but only for those with good credit. I do remember my mom using a "Chargex" card in dept stores... It was the precursor to what later became Visa.
I used to have a picture of me at about age 6 in 1973 or so wearing my favorite outfit, a bright red and blue plaid pants and a matching red shirt! Much like the one on a page of your catalog!
I love this. So unique! 💗💗💗😍
Thank you! 🥰
Oh yay!!!! an ACTUAL Sears WishList Catalog!?!? Oh my goodness, the nostalgia!
Oh, Jeannie, this is really special for me. Every year as a child we would look through Sears catalog to choose what to put on Santa's list. 1976 was my last "magical" Christmas where I really knew about Santa, but I truly and definitely did NOT want to know. I had a little brother who would have been just turning six years old at the time. I'm convinced my family went hard on keeping the secret because knowing me I would have ruined it completely for my sweet little brother. hahahaaa I'm actually happy I was able to enjoy the magic this one last time. Thank you, Jeannie. ❤💚❤💚❤💚
That’s so special! Glad you shared this memory! ♥️
Thankyou, I live in a small town in France and work at a boulangerie, gotta get up so early and I couldn't sleep for sooo long but you have changed that, love it, goodnight x
Oh my…French bread…I love it so much!!! 🥖
So excited for this- thank you, Jeannie!!! I love your videos.
Thank you so much, Andrea! ♥️🥰
Wow you mentioned York and Yorkshire. That made this Yorkshire lass smile. Bettys Tea Rooms are fab. Absolutely loving this channel
One of my best friends, Carole, lives in York! 🥰😁
This is brilliant 😂 I’m not sure how you can put the cat back in the bag short of just deleting your instagram until you’re ready to let everyone know…? You’re great at what you do and it obviously brings you and your audience a lot of joy, what more could someone want 😊
She hasn’t figured out that I deleted her. Lol! I’ll add her back afterwards. ♥️🤣
1976 was the year my son was born... a good year! Love your channel Jeannie... blessings and Grace to you xxx
P.S I used to live in Yorkshire and we went to Betty's in York and Harrogate and Ilkley for breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea. It's the best! XXX
As your TH-cam /Subscriber adopted daughter (self-proclaimed lol). I don't mind you doing ASMR videos. Believe me when I said that you have helped a lot of us, to feel relaxed. You personally helped me, while I was having a panic attack, a few weeks ago. So thank you, from my bottom of my heart. You deserve all the incoming subscribers. Have a nice day.
This is lovely to read, Imar! 🥰
I’m her adopted daughter, too. We’re sisters. 😂
@@Amy-jj8gy Yay! I have a new sister. 🥰
I’m her adopted daughter as well! Welcome to the family 🥰

Thank you so much!! 😊
I had the big frog head to put my toys in!!! Memories!! 😄
We want to know your kids' reaction when they know about your status of very popular ASMR host. Best end of the year surprise for them !! 🙌💐
Definitely!
Hi Jeannie, I am reading a journal from 1975 and 1976 and the writer talks about items she bought from a catalogue. I have been able to source the catalogue and the exact pair of shoes and dress in it! Unfortunately it is a PDF version so I can't flip through, but it is so exciting to see the things that people wore. Many of them can be picked up in vintage fairs and the shoes are like those I buy nowadays. I love your videos! And the cat of course.
That is so cool!! I love when I find things that relate to what I’m reading! Thanks for this!!
The cuts to your husband doing the Sears Catalog Model pose were funny AF 😂😂
I love all the plant stands, my mom said gratuitous houseplants were VERY popular back in the '70s (especially with those macramé hangers) and I wish I had some of them.
I showed him his photos and he laughed as well! And yes, I wish I had the macrame I made!
I definitely agree Jeannie, do it at Christmas before they catch on themselves, especially as I know you mentioned you were eager to film the video regardless so this way you won't have to be overly eager and desperate for the excitement like a kid on Xmas morning.
An idea instead of just videos for the reveal is comments, for those who wouldn't want to film themselves?
Loving the videos as always, and love the blouse! Xx
Plus the crinkles, the second I heard one I had shivers, truly meant to be, such incredible sounds!!
P.S.
Hi Carole! 👋
Yes! The comments, too! Thank you for that reminder!🥰
Girl, don’t be nervous, I can’t wait to hear all the awesome news!! You got this!
Brilliant, I find these videos relaxing. Thank you
Good morning from the little farm town of Collinsville, OK! Population 8,000. I’m a Cherokee Nation citizen living in the Cherokee Nation. Just thought you would like to know how widespread your reach is. Great video, Jeannie. Can’t wait for the big reveal.
This is so special to read!! Thank you for this!! 🥰♥️♥️♥️♥️
