Loved your conversation with your friend Tam. I had to smile when she was talking about her husband. I tell people , my husband is like a burnt marshmallow - hard and crusty on the outside, and soft and smushy on the inside. We've been married 50 yrs. in August, would choose him again. He also loves people, the Lord, me, and our 5 kids, in laws, and 10 grands. Enjoy your flosstubes. Also, will need to go through my passed Mom's Longabergers (which she also collected) that my sister is storing. I don't remember her having the lid for the market basket.Will have to check. Also have a two drawer spool cabinet and just purchased a very rough 6 drawer last week. Kindred hearts. Thanks for the fun and inspiration.
Your husband sounds like Tam’s - he also loves big! How fun that you have 2 spool cabinets!!
I never knew vintage hoops were a thing! Thanks for sharing your finds. Christmas stitching is always acceptable year round. ❤
Oh you must try one, they are so good!!
Love every vintage machine I see. They’re such works of art, compared to our modern computerized machines. I bought myself a treadle machine for Christmas and am learning to restore them- I’ve bought 3 machines since and love to sew on all of them. They’re fun to use for decorative sewing. Thanks for sharing - I love to see what treasures are being discovered by other collectors.
How wonderful! I need to learn how to care for and maintain my featherweights!!!I agree l, they are wonderful decor!
I love it! Sewing machine deals in the parking lot 😆 Beautiful machines 👍🏼
Right! 🫣. Thank you!!
What wonderful treasures. Thanks for sharing. Sounds like Facebook Marketplace can be a new hobby. Love the Christmas project!
It’s a little addictive, I must warn you 😬
Ohh, I totally enjoyed this one!!! Loved those finds!!! Please do this again!! It was a treat!!!! I've wanted a Featherweight machine but know absolutely nothing about what to look for!! I've seen them on eBay but I don't want to get taken advantage of!! Thank you again for this!!! Love watching your flosstube ,checking to see what you've been up to!!. Take care !! See you next time!! Happy stitching!! 😊❤❤❤❤❤ Barbara S. 😊
Hi Barbara! There are some fb featherweight groups that can help you find a machine! Thank you for watching and for your encouragement!
Great finds on FB marketplace! I love Christmas stitching.
Thank you! Happy stitching!
❤❤❤great finds! Love the Christmas pattern and bag, too. 🎅❤️
Thank you so much. Happy stitching!
Such amazing finds…and the thrill of the hunt/find is so much fun. I’m stitching Christmas in July and enjoying every moment🎄🎅❤️
You’re so right, I’ve always loved the search!!
Thank you so much for the info ,just love the Longaberger basket with the lid soo cool.Its like Christmas finding all the goodies.Take care🥰❤
Isn’t it a fun basket! Now, to get it all set up for a retreat! Happy stitching!
Christmas is my favorite, stitch all year 🎄
What a great find with your sewing basket of goodies! I love the Christmas bag😊
Thank you! 😊
Christmas is my favorite holiday & the Christmas Eve service at my church is my very favorite of the year🎄
Oh I love that!
I’m so excited to find your channel. Ohio born and bred. One of my FW found online was from Mansfield where I grew up and it is a 1955 , my birth year and it belonged to the mother of the wonderful seller. I was so thrilled. I have lived near Lake Erie for the last 51 years with my husband who supports my addiction. My studio and cross stitch rooms are full of Longaberger . Mostly Patriotic, the storage baskets and large picnic baskets. Congratulations on your beautiful marketplace finds.
Oh how fun! I love that my first FW was from the granddaughter of her owner!! Also love that you’re a fellow Ohioan!
Great finds Holly. My husband bought me a featherweight in December and I love it . I named her Marion after my great grandmother . She worked for Goodyear during the war sewing seat covers for airplanes. She’s a workhorse. My mother-in-law worked for Longaberger so I have several baskets ! I also get some floss and notions from my antique and thrift store shopping . Central Ohio and Amish country have great stores .
Oh Marion is a perfect name!! My grandmother, Hazel, worked at an ammunition factory during WWII where she met my grandfather!
Oh my goodness Holly! Love all of your videos, but this one covers so many favorite things! I have a featherweight named Hazel, too, after my wonderful Grandma! ❤ I have many Longaberger baskets ( was a consultant yrs ago). I love using them in my craft room , but now will have to look for the travel lid ( prob donated or sold when I moved)! And your hoops , I collect those too! We love so many of the same things! Cross stitching, project bags, but most of all, our grandchildren & families! All of which makes my heart leap as if it’s Christmas! Love your relationship with Tam! ❤
We DO have so many shared loves! And a grandmother named Hazel too? Was yours southern too?
@@hobbiesofholly No, she was from Canada! 😂 I’m going to Shipshewana today( I’m in Indiana visiting my kids). I wish there was a cross stitch shop near here, esp since we don’t have any near us in Fl! But lots of quilting & antiques to see, so it’s so much fun! Hope you have a great day! 😊
@@deborahmiller4594 have so much fun!! Craft Gallery in Finley, OH and Riverside might be driving distance??
What a great idea for the travel lid now I just need to find one. I love all your collections they are so fun. Your girls trip sounds like it was so much fun too Happy Birthday ! Santa 🎉❤
Thanks so much! I hope you’ve had success finding the kid!
Fun Finds, cute basket topper, happy shopping!
Thank you! 🤗
Thank you for sharing your Longaberger Baskets. I have several baskets from years ago, parties & such. Now I look for them in Antique stores, I bought the Magazine Basket for reasonable price but wasn't sure what it was, now I know. I bought the Market basket from a party but never thought about the travel lid, now I will be on the hunt! 😊
I hope you find a lid, they really make a great stitchy basket!
Love your sweet videos!! You have great taste and have stitched some fantastic pieces! Love watching your FlossTube channel!!!❤️
You are so kind, thank you!
Christmas is the fun time of the year I am enjoying your flosstube
Thank you so much!!
Oh my goodness your “finds” are JUST LIKE Christmas in July!! You’ve revived my interest in Longaburger baskets - you remind me to look for and at all the various sizes for different uses! ☺️💖. Holly I’m so happy that you have chosen to make Flosstubes - - - your love and enthusiasm for your stitching and your friends always makes me happy, and you ALWAYS brighten my day! ☺️💖💖
Well your kind words brightened MY day! Thank you!!
Love the Christmas items! Also the Featherweights and Longaberger baskets!
Aren’t they fun!
❤ I loved seeing all your treasures!! I found several vintage hoops, buttons and floss in a thrift store grab bag! So fun to rescue things that we will use.
I love the Christmas project!! Looks like a fun stitch!
Now that is a fun thrift store find! I’m always on the lookout!
Love your video! The Aunt Martha are embroidery patterns. You iron them on the fabric and embroider. I love them!
I had an aunt Martha so I love their names!
I so enjoyed seeing your Market place purchases. I have loved those baskets forever and have a few of them myself. Collecting them has always been so fun. Seeing all the Christmas is making me want Christmas to hurry up and get here. Until next time, happy stitching 😊🪡🧵🌻
Thank you! Aren’t the LBs fun? I still get joy from them! Happy stitching!

Thanks Holly for information…I love vintage hoops in wood, my favorite to stitch with would love to acquire more I have yet to add the elusive Queen . I inherited a Featherweight a few years back in mint condition oh such a beauty ❣️ Lucky you to find such treasures enjoy…Happy Wednesday, LaNelle
LaNelle, what a wonderful thing to inherit! Aren’t vintage hoops the best!!

Wow! You found some incredible items. Your market baskets will be such great sewing centers for you. The sewing machines are fabulous! I love to celebrate Christmas in July! ❤️🎄
Thank you, Pat! They are bringing joy! Happy stitching!
Great marketplace finds! They definitely were Christmas in July finds for you 🎄
You are so right!
You found so many wonderful things! It truly is Christmas in July!
It really is!
Fun stuff. I have several longaberger baskets too. I had a lot more but we moved and I had to downsize. I’ve picked up more since then. We used to have so many parties that I’m sure my husband thought those ladies were daycare checks! I’ve not found a featherweight machine but someday. It will be like Christmas
Oh weren’t the LB parties fun!! Good luck on the featherweight hunt!
I love looking for vintage seeing items. Never thought of Facebook marketplace, will definitely try it. I collect of santa items will go nicely in my Christmas decor. Thank you for sharing.
I hope you’ve already found some treasures on your marketplace search!! Thank you for watching!
Christmas is my favorite holiday. I love your videos.
Mine too! Thank you for our sweet encouragement!
Hi! Christmas in July is a favorite of mine. Congratulations on all of your new treasures. Thanks for sharing all that you do and thanks for the “extra”. ❤
Oh thank you for your sweet encouragement!
Thanks again for the tip with kittens stitchers 5.00 patterns! Got them yesterday and they are wonderful! Gotta save my money now for longaberger!
Oh I’m glad you got some $5 patterns!! I got yet another order yesterday 🫣
I also purchase vintage sewing baskets and love seeing what treasures are inside. Christmas in July is what we all need with the very hot temps outside. 🎅
Isn’t it fun! I wish I had started looking for them sooner!
Christmas is my favorite things to stitch.
Mine too!
Nice finds Holly. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching!!
Lovely finds! I love Christmas in July everything! As always, thanks for sharing with us.
Ah thank you so much!
I love Christmas in July! Honestly I love it anytime. Your Singers are beautiful 😍
Thank you, Heather!
Hi. Nice to meet you. I had to let my Singer, called Ada after the person who gifted it to me, go to a collector as I couldn’t afford to get her fixed. I’d had her for 40+ years and loved her. Love the baskets. May have to put one on my Christmas list. 💐🌻
Oh I hope Ada is still making beautiful things and that the collector is enjoying her!!
You found Some amazing treasures!
I love Christmas!
Marilyn
Thank you, Marilyn! I love them too!
Oh how I love Christmas!! I also really enjoy your channel. I always look forward to the next one to come.😀
Thank you so much, Patty!
What great finds from Facebook marketplace. Christmas in July is so fun.
Aren’t they? I’ve found a few more this week!
I love your Longaberger baskets! I have the magazine basket but love the market baskets! Maybe I’ll put them on my vintage Christmas list. 😉
Oh I need to start a vintage Christmas list, how fun!
You have a beautiful sewing room.. so enjoy your floss-tubes! Blessings Christmas is my favorite holiday
Thank you, Kim!
Oh goodness, now I’ll be going down the basket rabbit hole 😂 I already have a few but love the ones you showed.
Aren’t they fun! The hunt for them is fun too 🥰
Beautiful treasures. I love Christmas in July!!!!
Thank you so much!!
Well another great video. You are a wealth of information. The basket is a gathering basket. The lids were made by a lady and her husband. The leman co. They lived in Ohio around your area. I sold those baskets in the 80’s, even had a group under me. Good money was made then. It’s sad to see what happened. Dave Longaberger was a visionary. I met him and all family members several times. I personally love the pottery. I have a lot of the baskets which I use also for everything. I believe it’s the small gathering and the bread basket that will sit on top of the magazine basket. You can also place basket on the wall and use the handle for a quilt, towel or dollie😊side note. Don’t spend more than 10, 15.00 for the baskets. I can usually find then for a couple of dollars. Plastic inserts are a bonus. My family are all from the ship she area. Did you go to middlebury? Did you do the quilt tour…they are made of flowers and they are beautiful. Please tell me you ate at the das essenhaus, and went to the roll and rise bakery. You could sample everything jams, jellies, Carmel Corn Pops. I could go on. I live 2 hrs away. There are lots of places to antique too. I will be there at the end of the month for are family reunion. Now you have enabled me to start looking for a lightweight.
We actually stayed in Middlebury! We got take out from Das Essenhaus, I believe. You have such a wealth of LB info! I never thought of a basket on top of the magazine basket!
Amazing vintage goodies. I love your christmas in July santa pattern.
Thanks so much!
Christmas in July has always been a fave of mine. Do fun to see all your fun finds.
Thank you!!
Holly!! Thank you for sharing!! I love the idea of the Longenberger car basket being transformed to a stitching basket!! I have not purchased anything from FB market place. So I will have to take a look. I have gotten into collecting hoops!! I will have to check out the Flosstube that you have recommended. I will be starting my Christmas stitching today. I appreciate you and Flosstube!! ❤
Aren’t vintage hoops fun? I can’t seem to stop searching for them!! Happy stitching!
You purchased some amazing finds. I love Christmas and have many Christmas Cross Stitcheries that I put out on display.
Thank you, I seem to just keep finding more 🥰
That is one cute Christmas bag! Thanks for the extra video.
Thanks for watching!
Interesting to see all your wonderful finds. I also live in Ohio. I’ve been sorting through my patterns, on these hot summer days to motivate me to start Christmas stitching.
Hello, fellow Ohioan! 🥰 thank you for watching and happy stitching!
What a wonderful fun video Holly. My first time watching you! I love my Longaberger and what a great way(s) to use them again. Christmas surprises are the best!
Thank you so much for watching, I hope you’ll come back!
Love all your Longenburger baskets. I have never had any. You have found some beautiful vintage sewing machines. The 301 Singer are fantastic also. I take my Featherweights to all my quilt retreats. Christmas
Thank you!! I’ve never been on a quilt retreat but I’d love to give them a try!!
So fun to find all of those treasures! I would love to stitch Christmas in July or August!
Aren’t they fun! Christmas stitching is fun no matter the month! 🥰
What a great find for the featherweight. I love stitching Christmas in July.
Featherweights are such fun machines! I couldn’t believe it when I got it home!’ Happy stitching!
Holly I have enjoyed your flosstube, binge watched over the 4th weekend all your past videos. Lucky shopper, your finds are amazing. Merry Christmas to you!
Oh thank you for binge watching!!
Beautiful finds!♥️
Thank you! 😊
Just loved your video and what you have been finding. It lovely that these items are still being loved and used. Christmas in July is a great time. Happy stitching 🧵
Thank you so much! It’s really fun finding new ways to use older things!
Congratulations on your featherweights. I love using mine! The Christmas bag is great. Take care!
Thank you, I just love them!
Very nice market place finds. I have sold things on there before. It paid for our vacation! I’ve been doing a lot of shopping on line and have even bought a Christmas gift already!! Happy stitching.
What a great way to pay for vaca!! Would you believe, I haven’t sold anything, instead I ask my daughter to do it. 😬. She’s the queen of selling so just keep asking her!
my mom and I have made a few trips out to the Longaberger Homestead from NJ and have even made some baskets while there..thanks for the fun ideas for what to do with my collection. I love them and will rework them into my craft room that I am always reorganizing
Oh how fun! I wish I had gone to make one!
I love to watch your videos and I really love the “Christmas “ bag and pattern. I never really got into the baskets but love your ideas. Something to keep in mind.
Oh thank you for watching! They were fun thing to collect over the years!
I really enjoy your FlossTubes, Holly. Christmas is my favorite holiday and with my birthday being in July, I like to combine and do some Christmas in July stitching. I love your use of the Longaberger baskets. I have several that I also use for stitching related things. 🥰
Thank you, Adrienne! Aren’t the LBs fun for stitchy use!
Happy birthday! Thank you for your kind words!
oh what beautiful finds for you. Enjoy! Happy Stitching! ❤️🌻👍🏼
Thank you so much!!
Wow your finds are amazing!!! Christmas is my favorite season!!
Thank you so much!
I love the signs that you found on Facebook marketplace. I haven't been as fortunate just looking. I'm also stitching Christmas in July and find that pattern very interesting. Enjoy the tips you gave on searching for items on Facebook marketplace.
Oh I’m so glad you enjoyed! Keep looking and happy stitching!
Ho! Ho! Ho! Merry Christmas in July! Longaberger baskets were a 'thing' in Central PA where I lived. Luv your flosstubes. Stay safe and healthy.
Thank you so much! I’m having fun using my baskets and hunting for new ones 🥰
I love seeing your longerberger baskets. Merry Christmas
Thank you, the baskets still make great storage solutions!
You hit the jackpot!!
So lucky to have found your flosstubes. Christmas stitching in July is so much fun
Thank you, I feel like it was the jackpot too! And thank you for finding my channel!
Yes stitching Christmas in July. Enjoy your videos. Never thought of searching FB for sewing baskets! Thx for the tip.
Thank you for watching! Sewing basket search has yielded even more hoops this week!
Christmas in July is so fun!! I love shopping Facebook marketplace, have found some good deals, actually decorated my craft room with some furniture from there!! Thanks for the fun video
Oh I bet your craft room is full of fun then! What’s the best thing you’ve found on marketplace?
Thank you for sharing your vintage finds. Christmas
Thank you for watching
What great finds-Christmas early!!!
Thank you!!!
My favorite time to decorate is Christmas. I have a couple of things to work on in July for the holiday season. Enjoyed the video.
Hope your Christmas stitching is going well this July! Thank you for watching!
Looking forward to meeting you in Florida. Great video! I love a Christmas tree!🎄
Florida’s will be such fun! You’ll find me sitting with Tam 🥰 see you there!
Wow, you really found some treasures!! I have my MIL’s black Singer in its cabinet she bought right after married in early 40’s. She left it to me knowing I sew (used to be costumes for kids, etc) until I collected fabric to try to quilt. Have a few tops made, have never had them quilted. I know it works but I haven’t tried it yet 😳😬. Those baskets are AMAZING as well!! I was trying to stitch Christmas in July but am busy with a birth sampler and knitting a blanket for my 4th granddaughter due this fall!! But as soon as I finish….😵💫. Blessings to you & your family!! Donna in GA
Hi Donna! What a treasure to have your MIL’s Singer! And congrats on the 4th grand coming!
I love a basket . I also love Christmas. I have an old Singer sewing machine that i just like to look at and read the old instruction booklet.... i always think about the people who used it before me.
Isn’t imagining what all that machine has sewn interesting! And the people who made things with it!
I can’t wait for Christmas! Love your videos!
Thank you so much! Happy stitching!
Christmas is my favorite and my Gram passed now but we had so many memories with Christmas and decorating.
Sweet memories are the best!
Wow! Featherweights are stunning! It is like finding a Christmas gift in the middle of summer!
You’re so right! They are beautiful little machines!
You and best friend Tam have a very special bond, and I enjoyed watching you interact . Christmas is the best time of year! ❤
Thank you, Tam is the best!!
Just love watching you. Christmas
Thank you for watching, it means the world!
This video is so great. And now I want a Singer 😂 I bought one more hoop while I was editing my own video. 🤦🏻♀️ Your FB Duchess is gorgeous. -Stephanie
I wonder how many is too many? Asking for a friend 🥰 hope your move is going smoothly!
Thank you for sharing your finds from FB Marketplace. I too love my collection of Longaberger baskets. Christmas is my favorite holiday and I enjoy stitching Christmas ornaments.
Thank you for watching! LB still bring joy after all these years!
I love stitching Christmas in July I love this extra video
Thank you for watching!!
Love your finds…I have 2 featherweights and love sewing on them, also. Christmas is always fun to stitch, think I have a Christmas project going all year , not just in July. ❤
Oh how fun! Do yours have names?
I love Longaberget baskets…I have quite a few. I have that travel one with lid….cute idea to make it practical for a retreat basket! I loved going to Longaberget in the Fall, I miss it. I’ll be updating my medium basket too!
Ah I love knowing other LB fans! They are still so pretty and functional! I hope your retreat basket turns out great!
