Hi to you both! Thanks so much for watching our videos and letting us know that you love the windows! ;-) Your message certainly helps make our efforts worthwhile. We hope our fall ones will be fun for you to see. We are already working together on one! Hope you both have a blessed rest of your summer. We're already excited about fall!

Hi! Yes, it is that mall. Thanks for watching. I Googled 'Burnsville,' and they said this: People also ask... Is Burnsville a suburb of Minneapolis? Established in 1858 and incorporated in 1964, Burnsville is now the ninth largest suburb in the metro area and a commuter's dream with easy access to Minneapolis and Saint Paul." Have a good weekend!

@@Crazy4Retro thank you Peggy for answering and I do like to watch your videos

Hi Jo!😊Thanks much for watching this video and commenting. 1959 Certainly was a good year, since you were born then. ;-) I was born in 1949. So very long ago! We hope you are doing well and wish you a great week ahead.

Hi Kris! Thanks much for watching this video and letting me know you enjoyed being distracted. We're so sorry you are sad. So many things going on that are depressing in the news. God is in control. Sending prayers for your comfort and healing if you are having personal sadness or difficulties. We wish you a blessed week ahead.

@@Crazy4Retro Thank you.

Hi Carolyn! Thanks much for watching this video and letting me know you enjoyed seeing that wall pocket! I hope it finds a great new home ;-) We wish you a blessed week ahead.

Hi Diane! Thanks so much for watching this thrifting video and writing your always fun message❣️ Yeah, those raspberries deserved the raspberries! I was wishing I had a sound to insert of someone doing that! 😆 Thanks for letting me know what items you liked. We hope you have a blessed week ahead. 🌼🌸🏵

1:47 Peg, did you buy the Orange Platinumite sugar/creamer duo? I hope so.

Hi Sister Shirley! No, I didn't buy them. It's very pretty, but I have a black milk glass set that I thrifted a couple of years ago, and I have used that for Halloween videos.🖤🧡🖤 Thanks for asking! Have a great day!

Hello Laurie! 😊Thanks very much for watching this video and letting me know you enjoyed thrifting with us again! Thank you for your kind acknowledgement that it is definitely a lot of work to put all of our video clips together and do my best to keep it interesting. ;-) We hope you are doing well this summer and wish you a blessed week ahead.

Hello Mehri! 😊Thanks very much for watching this video and letting me know you enjoyed thrifting with us. We hope you are doing well and wish you a blessed week ahead.

Hi Christine! Thanks much for watching this video and letting me know you enjoyed seeing that sweet lamb and that I did bring her home. We hope you are doing well and wish you a blessed week ahead.

Hi, I'm sorry, but I have no idea what you are talking about. I haven't seen any message from you today on dolphins, and I checked the 'Held For Review' section. There are no messages there either. Please send your message again and see if it works. Try not to judge too quickly. YT has control over my messages when some words come up that may be controversial. For instance, every time someone says "little girl" it can end up in the Held for Review section. I don't even think to look there very much. Thanks for watching and writing.

Hello Carol in CA! 😊Thanks very much for watching this video and letting me know you enjoyed thrifting with us. We hope you are doing well and wish you a blessed week ahead.

Hello Jillene! 😊Thanks very much for watching this video and letting me know you enjoyed thrifting with us again! We hope you are doing well, too, and wish you a blessed week ahead.

Hello Amalia! 😊Thanks very much for watching this video and letting me know you enjoyed thrifting with us again. I did bring home the little lamb but not a teapot. It was pretty but I sure am out of storage space. We hope you are doing well and wish you a blessed week ahead.

Hi Dale, We're sorry that you have that problem. I can hear high-pitched noises very well compared to Norm, but I don't really notice the racks and hangers any worse than all the other noises at thrift stores. You must not be able to shop at the stores. I have watched thrifting videos done by other channels where they use voice-over narration and I thinks it sounds like 'acting' and not very good actually, because they are attempting to make it sound like us viewers are watching them discover items 'live'. That is not something I want to do to my videos. My viewers have expressed that they enjoy hearing my true live reactions, be it joy or otherwise. You have told me about your disappointment in these videos before, so again, we're sorry you have to "MUTE" us. You can still read what we're saying by chosing Closed Captioning. It's pretty accurate. We thank you very much for your support and messages. We hope you are doing well and have a blessed season.

Hi again, Dale. I have a question for you. I'm wondering what equipment you use to watch YT videos on (phone, TV, or computer)? You're probably very aware, but I'd to toss this out there to you. TV's have several choices for sound. If you are watching YT on your TV and you have chosen a setting that creates more treble (like maybe VOICE), then you may very well hear the high pitched metal scraping more. Thanks for understanding my thoughts on your unique problem with our videos.

@@Crazy4Retro There is NO problem at your end at all! It's me that has the problem! It's an ASMR thing for me...squeaky doors and screeching sounds just do me in and I cringe every time! Forks scrapping on teeth...ish! I can't do thrift stores because of the sliding hangers unless I use earbuds. I love your content and always watch you two and your adventures. I live on the coast in Washington state but was born in Alexandria Minnesota. I return to the Villard area to pay my respects to my parents grave site on occasion and hopefully will visit some of your favorite antique shops while I am there. I'd love to "bump" into you!

Hi Dale! Thanks much for more information on the sounds that make you cringe. I'm sure that's very difficult to deal with at times. I've had tinnitus, ringing in my ears, for very many years that drives me a little crazy at night when I hear it the most. I've looked into recent claims that there are cures, but I'm doubtful at the time. I also have extremely good hearing, compared to Norm, who I have to shout at a lot. When we are in public, like a restaurant especially, and they drop dishes and buss the tables, the crashing noises make me jump terribly and upset me. I jump and cringe badly when a child screams out or babies cry loudly near us. Our nephew and niece have 2 small dogs and their loud shrill barks just pierce my brain. I just can't take it. I'm very disturbed by those types of sudden loud, sharp sounds. Norm finds it surprising, but he has poor hearing. Thanks for letting us know that you are from Alexandria. That's cool. I've wanted to find antique shops up there, but it's quite a drive for us trying to make it a one-day trip. It would be nice to bump into you as well. :-) We hope your summer is blessed.

Hello Gloria! 😊Thanks much for watching this video and letting me know you enjoyed thrifting with us. We hope you are doing well and wish you a blessed week ahead.

@@Crazy4Retro 🙏🏼

Thank you, Rita! I hope you are doing well.💕

Hi Christine! Thanks so much for watching our videos and writing your always sweet messages! We hope you are having a good summer. May God bless you.🏵🌸🌼

I just found your comment from a week ago. I remember writing back to you and thanking you for your information regarding the candlesticks. I said that I would do my best to remember your identification in future videos. So I'm confused as to where my response went. I'm still seeing yours, so I don't know why you can't see it. If I accidentally deleted it by swiping somehow, why am I still seeing it on my channel, but you're not able to? This is what I see: Hi, Peggy - The "fish" on your milk glass candlesticks aren't koi but are actually classical Italianate dolphins. I did answer you, but I don't see my response anymore, sorry.

P.S. I also found it confusing that you wrote to me about the dolphins on a previous kitchen video and not the correct one. That most likely explains why you think it's missing under the later video from last week.

Thank you for your information. I will try to remember to call the fish 'Italianate dolphins' instead.

Hi Carol! Thank you very much for watching this video and your sweet message! Yes, Norm designed the layout of our ponds and 2 waterfalls way back in July of 1999. We are blessed to have a very open view all these 35 years we've lived here. We are grateful that the neighbor in back never planted trees on his long yard. He had two sons and they loved baseball so they were always out there practicing. He also had hunting dogs. Anyway, we love not having huge trees blocking our view of the sky and everyone's yards back there. I've spent all these years gardening with Norm's help to find perennials that we might enjoy out there. I'm the one that studied plants and got him to put in so many of the fun ornamental grasses. Our yard slopes down so it's always been more wet back there. It's been very rewarding but so much work. I just can't do it anymore and it's getting harder for Norm too to take over the weeding. For several years now, he's even had to do most of the fall cleanup too. He loves our backyard and I'm so glad that he is able to still work out there. I feel guilty that I just hurt my hands and most every other joint when trying to water, trim or dig to plant any annuals. We have been taking out some of the more difficult perennials over the past few years. We should be doing much more to simplify things further. But that takes Norm's time and as most everyone knows, he had a very rough couple of years with 2 major surgeries. It's been nice that he's finally able to try to do more outside this summer. He still gets pretty sore though when he overdoes things. Thanks again for asking. As you can tell, I always love talking about our garden and ponds. I started a video last year all about it from it's beginnings in 1999. We have lots of old photos and videos of all the years and changes. I hope someday I can get some time to work on it to finish. I'm glad you liked this video! You have a great week! Hugs!

You're right, Shirley! It is one of our neighbor's many Russian Olive trees. They have always had a wet backyard because they sit lower than us other neighbors (sad for them). So previous owners planted a willow right by his house in the backyard there and 4 Russian Olives around his deck. They've all gotten huge, but he's lost many major branches from them in storms. I've always thought that they are too soft and break easily in storms. Fast growing trees are softer wood, of course. Norm's sister and brother-in-law lost one at their house too from a storm. The tree you are seeing is about half of the original because of lost branches. He is yearly cutting and cutting back damage on them. So, my personal thoughts are that I'm not so sure they are ideal. Just a side note...he is terrible at taking care of his yard and trees. He's left very dead and dying shrubs along our property line for decades that we've tried to hide from our view. So unsightly and we just don't understand the reasoning to never ever trim a bush to keep it healthy. Sorry to elaborate, but it's really a sore subject for Norm and I. We live between 3 much younger men who do nothing but bare minimum yard mowing and that's it. The rest is terrible to look at (tall weeds going to seed, etc.) Norm has tried to help every year. Sorry to vent, you hit a nerve. LOL

Hi Margy! Thanks very much for all your sweet messages! ;-) We're so glad you have enjoyed this video! We are wishing you a very blessed week ahead.

Hi Sister Shirley! Thanks very much for all your questions and sweet messages! ;-) We're so glad you have enjoyed this video and especially the garden! We are wishing you a very blessed week ahead.

Hi! I'm happy to hear you love that bigger clock. It was my very first MCM clock purchased many years ago. We just found those sconces last year here in Minneapolis. I didn't even know where I was going to put them, but couldn't resist getting them because we've never seen them before. It took me a while to think about that clock, (that I actually had stored in a closet), too realize that it would most likely go with the sconces. So, I told Norm my thoughts about putting them together on that small wall. It meant that we had to move another MCM large black mesh and gold clock to the top of the stairwell instead of being the one over the bookcase. We already had a sturdy nail there over the stairwell, so I was thrilled that we worked out that move. Shirley, I get bored with things sometimes too quickly and am always thinking about rearranging stuff, especially when we make new wall decor purchases. LOL I still have a very nice Elgin? starburst clock in a closet that I wish we could get put up somewhere! ;-)

Thank you, Gareth! So nice of you to always send your kind and fun messages. ;-) I agree with you, I don't generally think of Peacocks as tropical, but the website that was selling these as new mugs also referred to them as for Tiki parties and drinks. So I was just repeating what I read about them. We're glad you are having cool weather there considering much of our country has terrible triple-digit temps. I can't imagine living with that and imagine what our AC bill would be. :-( Nice of you to write again, Pal! Hugs & love, too!

@@Crazy4Retro at lease you have the option of AC lol here it's not a thing really. New builds are putting in ac as the past few years we have had some very hot almost 40°c weather so you can imagine what this is like in a home without ac lol. Yeppers sweet Peggy you can only go by what is stated on the webpage for those vase cups. Stay well.

Hi Jillene! Thanks very much for all your kind messages! ;-) We're so glad you have enjoyed this video! We feel badly for those like you who are dealing with such very high temperatures! You are brave. I pray you can get some relief soon. We are wishing you a very blessed week ahead.

What un to see you exploring blue glass and vintage items. Highly successful!
