    We are a family of four, working hard to eat healthily, live frugally, pay off our mortgage early and save/invest for retirement. We’ve lived below the poverty line for many years and have now got our heads above that line. Our household income remains well below the national average in the UK but we have paid off all of our debt, including our mortgage.
    It’s all hands on deck to save and invest for our retirement and for our children’s futures. We hope that we can put them in a position where they don’t have to struggle financially, as we have, and that we can break the generational cycle of poverty that we have experienced.
    We all have different issues with food, including food sensitivities, so I shop to work around those considerations.

    I’m sure all of your viewers can appreciate the need for you to keep aspects of your life private. I don’t know what you are experiencing but I do know I think you are just lovely, wish that I could help, and hope the best for you. You don’t need to share or tell us anything. We’re just happy to see you when we do. 😊

    When you said you'd have to find your loop....is that a magnifying glass? The coat from Wales is beautiful. My parents were married in Wales during WWII. They loved it there and said it was so gorgeous. The Scottish sweater is a marvelous color. So wonderful to see you again with all your treasures. We have missed you!! Love from Debbie and Dexter-Dog my sweet rescued Chihuahua companion living a quiet crafty life in southern California. USA. The boat painting is fabulous!!🐶🐾🐣🐥🐰💙💚😄

    I’ve just got home after major repair surgery to my shoulder so in a lot of pain but I found this lovely vlog and first up you hold up a beautiful Johnson’s jug - My Mum had this set❤️ What a treat to see that pattern again. Thank you Tess made my day😍 I hope whatever is making life difficult starts to ease, sending love 💗

    Strangely just before you said it I thought the Johnson Bros jug would be lovely for custard! We are a big custard family 😂 Yes, I have loads of jugs, I find them hard to resist.

    Thanx Tess... I love op shop finds and I would love to clean up and sell beautiful pieces like what you have found if I didn't have so much going on in life.
    Maybe when I work less this could be a kind of job I could do 🧡💛

    Hi Tess, the ‘ring’ is similar to a thimble. The wide part fits over your finger pad. Good kit for sashimi. X

    Oh I really like the mirrors 💕 I have posted a few items for sale myself today. I bought a side table a while back, I gave only £5 for it, then, when I came home with it, I found out its a really expensive table, made of birch from a well known Norwegian designer. The brass bracket label is stillunderneath. So I am trying to get £150 for it, which is cheap. They sell new for around £700. Used anywhere from my price up to the sales price. Then I posted a couple of table lamps. And snow chains. Hope it will sell, because I have a lot of things coming up, like the chimney sweeper, car service and the garbage collecting, all in one month. I have saved up a little buffer, but hope not to dip into that. 😊 You can´t go wrong with wool 💕

    Awe, fab to see a video from you. Currently 12AM, in bed with a cup of coffee and watching your video. Some fantastic finds, I adore the jug, I instantly thought flowers so maybe Slimming world is working as I never associated food with it 😂🤣. I also love the coat. I'd wear it with jeans, brown pointy toe ankle boots and a white or cream blouse.
    I am going to have a nosey at your etsy page, I haven't had a look from before Christmas.
    I hope you are OK and the 3 lovely males in your house are also OK.
    You still smile, but you aren't just as sparkly Tess. Life is wonderful at throwing us a curve ball, whether we want it or not, or whether we have the time or not. In fact, life can be very cheeky and bold when it wants to be .
    Great to see your happy wee face and listen to your lovely voice, and I know I speak for everyone when I say look after yourself and your boys, we will all still be here. I hope things will soon become less manic and you get more 'me' time. Gosh as mums and even wives Tess we need meeeeeeeeeeeeee time . Take care and God bless xxx

    I’m from Wales. Living in Oxford now but I really miss Wales. I saw you were in Bridgend and Cowbridge a little while ago - my old stomping ground! Anyway my Nan had a coat exactly like that. I can still see her wearing it in my minds eye xx. Lovely to see you back xx

  • @candaces3959

    Happy to see you back and well. Always love your videos and love to see what you have been able to find in charity shops and for free! You have a great sense of what is worthwhile and pretty and you have really good luck. I guess over time one develops a sense for these things. Anyway, life can get busy and complicated so don't worry about not posting so regularly. I always look to see if you've posted anything and look forward for when you do. Be well!

    We have very, very little vintage anything here. I sold on ebay for several years and loved looking for goodies. I gravitated toward vintage, too. Then, i sold at a shop in town until they closed for renovations. I love the mantle clock! It’s not chunky like so many. The coat is lovely, too!

  • @mikebashford8198
    @mikebashford8198 2 роки тому +1

    Looks like a ring for a Pashmina scarf. And that jug is a lot more elegant than the 1 pint graduated Pyrex jug I normally use to serve custard.

    What a beautiful jug! I love blue and white come to think of it, I like most bright colours. I also think that ring is a scarf loop. Love that Welsh weave in that wool jacket, and it looks couture, the size 16 is probably old sizes and I wonder if it is vintage. Glad you were able to get out with your busy schedule...please take care.

    I think it is a scarf clip. My mum had something similar. If it’s not one, it looks like it would work as one - perfect I should think with a fine silk scarf.
    Great to see you back Tess.
