The fabric might be good to use for sewing projects as your girls brush up their sewing skills. Maybe sew items they can gift to people. Tote or grocery bags, jewelry pouches, coin pouches, oven mitts or pot holders, apron or craft smocks. If any fabric piece isn't large enough they could be sewn together like a block or crazy quilt and then sewn into whatever their heart desires. Doll cloths or items for doll house etc. The potentials are limitless. ❤
I was thinking the same thing. Those fabric samples would make a cute quilt project for her daughters.
I was thinking the exact same thing,maybe your daughter could make napkins for dinner on the deck.
I recommend Jan Karon’s Mitford series for your summer reading. At Home in Mitford is the first one. She is currently writing #15!
I second that - love the series! And I normally read mystery/thrillers too
I read the series also and loved it. ❤
I LOVED listening to this series - he was such an amazing narrator.
I loved that series! I could easily reread them.
I love that series too!
That copper drainer would be beautiful holding a plant…..it it’s own container of course.
It’s really so pretty
Yes! I have a couple aluminum older ones on my front porch with annuals planted in them. Built in drainage with all the holes!
You’re my favorite TH-camr! I look so forward to your uploads! 🤗 Always inspiring! ❤
Thanks for being here!
I am always excited for Thursday morning vlogs from you! You are so productive and I love just watching you work around your home. Decluttering and organizing is so satisfying!! Have a blessed week, dear Hilary!❤
Thanks so much, have a lovely weekend!
I enjoyed seeing your cabinet declutter! It is so helpful to see how others organize their kitchen. Have a good day, Anne
Thank you Anne, God bless!
I used to think getting headaches/migraines during weather changes or extreme heat was just coincidental but some time ago I read about how weather changes can cause headaches/migraines. My mom used to say she knew it was going to rain when her arthritis acted up. Well, now I’m my mother but instead of arthritis, it’s headaches. 😂. Anyway, I accept that they will happen and try to limit outdoor time on hot and humid days. In NE Ohio we are dealing with similar weather.
You could use that pretty copper colander on the counter as a fruit bowl. Save some old towels for camp-outs, the dog, etc. Donate the vacuum parts; people often need them, dog chewed up the old ones, lost one, etc. You got so much done!
I always enjoy watching your videos.There's something special about them.
Thank you so much for being here!
Hi Hilary. Looked like you had a very productive day.Jude is growing up and is talking more. He's adorable. I like new towels. Take care and God bless you all. ❤️🤍💙
Be sure to save a few towels for Finn. I like to keep my "dog towels " separate from the others.
And for camping, swimming, working.....
Second the dog towels idea. Our dog’s towels are a different color than anyone else’s in the house and we keep dirty ones in a separate basket as well to wash with only dog bedding. No one likes dog hair on their face so anything dog is always a separate load.
Let your girls use the fabric for small sewing projects or even make a quilt. Love a good declutter! My house is so overdue and I do need to be more honest with myself!
That’s not a bad idea! I like to always keep a “moving mentality” when decluttering, like, would I want to pack this and take it with me if we were to move suddenly? Or I ask, would I buy this again right now? Those questions help me move things along and once the space is clear I never miss what used to be!
@@OldWorldHome that is such a great approach!
Organizing always feels good
Cutting paper is a great activity for three year olds! I saved junk mail for my kids to cut up!
Yes!!
Good morning! What a sweet, darling video! Thank you! Doesn't it feel SOO good to declutter?? (You inspired me!) I also love that you enlisted help!! YAY!! What a blessing to have help you feel good about! I'm looking forward to your kitchen update! Have a great weekend! :)
It’s seriously the best feeling, makes you appreciate what “makes the cut” all the more 💛
@@OldWorldHome Agreed!! Although I wish I were there to take the copper colander off your hands, haha!! :)
That darling copper colander would make a sweet planter for herbs etc! 🌱 Always love your organizing videos! ❤
Hope you're feeling better! So glad you and your kids are having a great summer.
Hey Laura, good evening and also how are you feeling today ?
Have a blessed (and cooler) weekend! Arlene
I am now doing meal prep, folding clothes, matching socks ect while watching vlogs. I used to only sit and watch as my relaxiation time, but found I got so far behind in getting things done. While watching yours today,
I washed, cut up some rhubarb for a crisp. It now in oven baking. I also. did some meal planning after going through fridge. Going to fold laundry on the bext vlog. Then I have to turn off and vaccum. With the extra time, I hope to do some decluttering. As always,I enjoyed your helpful ideas today.
Those vintage dishes are gorgeous!! 😍
Love your decluttering videos! You would be surprised as to how many people would love to have the vacuum attachments. I sold on Ebay, 4 small 10 year old never used Dyson attachments that i had hung on to all that time for $38!
When my daughter was learning to sew on the sewing machine she loved using fabric scraps for little projects. Your fabric is so pretty.
Thanks for taking us along! Encouraging to easily go through to do a quick declutter and straighten up areas. Definitely what I need.
Whew! Watching you tuckered me out! A "mother's helper," such a great idea! Enjoy summer!
I'm becoming a summer dress person. I went to Princeton so my grandson wanted to see the campus because he wants to go there. He's only 7 but he loved all the buildings. It was HOT. I wore a sundress and was so comfortable. i'm going to Florida in 2 weeks so I ordered a few more dresses to get me through hot days.
The cooper colender, could hold fruit on the counter, it's pretty. Agree with others, the material samples could be used by your daughter taking sewing lessons.
Hi! Please keep those dishes by the front door, they're beautiful 😍
Productive and very motivating video 😊
Thanks, Hilary! 🦋
I have the same copper colander that was my mom's. An idea you could do is make an arrangement in it for decor. Just an idea.
I’m doing the same thing here! Lots of declutterring!
You can use the copper colander as a planter and the maple syrup in the fridge.
Hilary,I highly recommend the classics. No fail choices.♥️
Ah: summer days! Wait thirty minutes and a ten minute rain! My keyboard misplaced the period and comma keys I am flustered, but watching your video made up for it all❤
You can give the fabric samples to your daughter for small sewing projects. 🥰💐🌞🏜💗✝🇺🇲
Always good to declutter. Thanks Hillary
Would love to know how you launder towels/wash cloths to keep them fluffy and looking nice.. After a while mine always get rough and "unfluffy".
Love a good declutter! We are in the middle of building our new home. I asked my father in law to make me a custom mantel that looks like yours. We will see if it happens but I enjoy your style. Thanks for sharing again as always!
Ooh how exciting! I’d love to see it when it’s done ☺️
Custom Mantle! Have your electrician install an outlett on the wall behind, for mini lights for Christmas garland and Village!
You always inspire me! ❤
You certainly stay busy!❤️
Never a dull moment that’s for sure 💛
Thank you very much for the video👏👏👏👏
Just wanted to mention for your daughters cake pops. Cooking with Karli has a Starbucks cake pop dupe recipe that is so easy to make. Just requires a freshly baked warm cake mix, so easy and delicious if she wants to make those. Her “recipe”/technique is online
I loved Louise Penny’s Gamache series. It starts with the book “Still Life.”
I have a friend who is in LOVE with those books, so I tried to listen to the Still Life audiobook twice now and I couldn't get into it. Maybe I need to try again!
Hillary, I enjoyed watching your video, and it was so mind relaxing, especially since I'm dealing with this Texas heat in Houston with no power.
Great video, Hilary ❤
hey girl- loved the video!😉 great job de cluttering😁👍
Thanks so much!
Have you read any of Janet Evanovich books? The Stephanie Plum series are good and fun reads.
You are right. I love them too
We just got power after the power outage due to Beryl..been terrible three days and nights of heat and humidity. I get headaches too when it's hot.Texas is 90s all the time..huh..there's so much pending work.
Loved the declutter..i did some garage cleaning and donated a bunch last week. More to do before summer ends. I have been so motivated seeing your bread machine but I don't want to invest in a brand new one. My kids are out of College and one is out of the house so I don't need to make bread as often as you do, at the same time it's healthier to make bread at home. Didn't see any at the donation centre I went to.
About books I love Freida McFaddens book but haven't read that one.Since we had no power I actually read books I have borrowed from the library..i finished The Perfect Son by Freida, it's really good. Reading Such a quiet place by Megan Miranda..loving it and Finding Cinderella by Colleen Hoover.
Hi Hilary, what is the brand of your bread maker? Does it work well? I’m looking to make bread at home and saw you use it in a previous video. I enjoy your content. Thanks for sharing. 😊
Thanks so much for being here! Mine is Oster. I’ve only ever used this one, so I can’t really compare it to anything, but I use it at least 2x a week and think it works great!
@@OldWorldHome Thanks Hilary for the info on the bread machine. I hope you have a blessed day!
I second the book First Lie Wins. Hope you enjoyed it.
Thank you so much for the book reviews, I just finished The Wife upstairs by Freda McFadden , so good.
HAPPY Thursday Hillary, family, and Finn fur baby! Enjoy your day! 🖌🖌🖌🖌🖌STTB
You too! 💛
Is this video extra dark or is it my iPad. I had trouble seeing. Thank you, I’ll love your channel.
Mine was ok
I think your fabric samples would have been cute to make a little quilt.
Did you read any of Charles Martin books? is my favourite author. but i only read in my native language, so i always wait until when the books are translated. I highly recommend my favorite 'When crickets cry' - Charles Martin!
I look forward to watching your videos on Thursday morning while having my coffee 😊. I noticed that your doors were open. Do you have air condition in your home?
We do, I like to leave the front door open with the screen door shut to let in sun 💛
I just finished reading a Lisa Unger book called Crazy Love You. I have a hard time quitting a book even if I hate it, which, this one I did! I’ve made up my mind that from now on, if I’m 50 pages in and not liking it, I’m giving myself permission to quit!
Hey 🌹
I have a book recommendation for you! "Homecoming" by Kate Morton. I could not put it down--it kept you hanging 'til the very end!
Ooh thanks!
What is the stain on your butcher block counters? Provincial? Early American? We have butcher block counters as well in a very light stain but I am itching to go dark!😊
It’s actually Jacobean, typically it would be too dark for my taste, but on our butcher block it looks much closer to the Dark Walnut we have on the floors 🤎
@@OldWorldHome oh wow! it definitely looks a touch lighter! Love it! Our floors are a bit more warm so im leaning more towards early american for ours!
My son started tearing paper at a very young age. This is how I kept him entertained in the car when we traveled. At age two he started cutting paper with plastic child safe scissors. This kept him entertained for long periods of time and it allowed me to get many chores done around the house. At about age four or five he started making things with toilet paper rolls and cereal boxes. Then he moved on to cardboard. He would make houses, small cars, action figures and toy guns with moving parts. In fourth grade he used cardboard to make a robot with flashing led lights for his Halloween costume and a functioning vending machine that dispensed snacks. Throughout the years he has made many amazing items out of cardboard. He’s now in high school and has moved on to making things out of wood. He has made a small picnic table for his 10 month old niece, a step ladder for his closet and a shelf with pegs for my bathroom to hang towels. It’s crazy to think that it all started when he was a baby/toddler so content to tear/cut paper. Maybe you have a little builder in the making too. 😊
Ah I love that you shared this, what a sweet kid, and yes that would be amazing if he did! 💛
I very much enjoy your book reviews. You seem to gravitate to the domestic thrillers genre (which I absolutely love as well). I finished the Teacher by Freida and I thought it was one of her better books. I am currently reading The Orphanage by the Lake which I am enjoying so far. Shari LaPena is coming out with a new one that I am excited about as well.
Ooh I love Shari! Excited for that, and thank you for the other suggestions 💛
Wouldn't Evie be able to use the fabric samples for sewing practice?
Good idea! They’re just very tiny, maybe 10” squares
@@OldWorldHome 10" squares in the Quilting World are considered LARGE! Lol! Tell Evie to cut them into 5" squares...and start a PatchWork Quilt...just sew the smaller squares together!
Copper colander would look nice with fresh fruit in it.
I was thinking the same thing! It’s so pretty.
@@olive1524yes! Hello 👋 from Poland 🇵🇱 and my rural living 😊
I would store my tomatoes or lemons, any kind of produce I don't refrigerate in that copper colander.
Love this! ❤
I recently read The Drowning Woman by Robyn Harding. It is a fast paced mystery with lots of twists and turns. I definitely recommend it.
Loved that one! Definitely kept you reading
Suggested book: All The Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr (Winner of Pulitzer Prize, New York Times bestseller - about a blind French girl and a German boy whose paths collide in occupied France as both try to survive the devastation of World War II.) It's absolutely beautiful and has so much heart. I couldn't put it down!
Oh yes, LOVED that book! 🥲
Hilary, why do you slog through books you aren't enjoying? First, I really enjoy your channel and respect your general philosophy of life. That's why I'm wondering about the books. Life is short, and so is leisure time. Wouldn't it be better to fill it with fabulous things every single moment? Again , I love your channel .
Sometimes I do let a book go, but other times I try to give them the benefit of the doubt to see if it’ll improve. Often there’s some element that keeps me reading, even if ultimately I don’t enjoy it in the end
Good Morning…I notice that you’re using BM ADVANCE on your cabinets…is that your go to paint and if so, do you rate it highly for wear…my cabinets need a touch up…what color are you using…thanks Hilary.
This is my first time using it and so far I’m very happy, but time will tell! The color is Natural Cream
Hi Hillary, as always we love your videos. My three year old loves cutting up paper just like Jude. 😊 Have you read Bluebird by Sharon Cameron before?
I haven’t!
Enjoyed 😅
Hi Hilary, Love your videos... I don't know if you got a new camera, but the in and out of focus was really hard on the eyes to watch.
Adorable dress! What brand is it?
Land’s End 💙
Was that your dishwasher in the background?
Bread maker :)
Goodmorning. I enjoy watching your channel. If you want a great read, Michael Crichton and James Patterson book is out called “Eruption”. It is a real page turner. Just saying
💕
What is the noise in the background? Just curious
I think it was the bread maker.
I think it’s the bread machine
Yup, bread maker 🍞 💛
*Couldn't you use the decaf coffee to coffee stain fabrics to make them look older and vintage? I am thinking of small decorative flags that come on dowels, white doilies you would rather have in an ecru color, or to age book or music pages you plan to use in Christmas crafts like paper wreaths?*
❤
Those ribs looked soooo good.
❤😊🕊️
😊👋👍
I'm in Florida, we've had mid to high 90's, heat index over 100 with 100 percent humidity. It's so hot, the air is thick. If it's that hot where you are, surprised you have the front door open, assuming you have ac running.
I leave it open to let the light in, with the storm door shut
Thank you.
Thank YOU
