I have orange pomanders from my grandmother that are over 100 years old! There’s no orange left (the cloves are held together by magic) and they smell heavenly.
I was wondering if Laura's older Pomanders still smelled! And now I know they do even after 100 years! Amazing ...
That is soo awsome!! I wish I had some from way back!! I bet they smell better to!!
@@alcg3981 love your profile picture
@@BrittanyS143 merci! I was standing at the water's edge in Juan-les-Pins looking toward Cannes at sunset.
Those are so special!
Hello Laura and Susan,
Every time you come together, a little bit of magic transpires. It reminds me of the quote by A. A. Milne:
“We didn’t realise we were making memories, we just knew we were having fun”.
perfect observation... 🥰
Lovely view of the proceedings, beyou9679!
BE YOU, what a perfect quote!
Oh so true…
Love the pomander scape with candle sticks and greens!
Such a lovely time making memories with your Mum and children. My Mother passed away in June and seeing videos like this is so bitter sweet. Remembering our christmas craft days just like yours is precious but knowing they are no more is hard. I'd love to see a Christmas tree inside the cut flower garden Shed I think it will finish it off nicely!!!❤❤❤❤ I've been following you for a few years from across the pond in Wales UK and love everything you do!🥰
I'm so sorry Amanda I know you have wonderful memories of her have a blessed Christmas
Thanks for sharing another festive holiday how-to with us. Your mom is a treasure box of traditional DIY's, sweetly passing on the traditions to her grandkids. She's giving me my own memories, encouraging me to make & give my own pomanders to others. Benjamin always adds his own expertise & Samantha is a fast learner. Such fun! BTW, cloves can be bought in bulk on Amazon.
I was asking my 87 yr old dad about Christmas from his childhood. He always mentions oranges. I asked if they were rare. He said well, they are most available at Christmas time. I never realized that and explains why they are always in fruit baskets and used for decorations.
You guys have become one of the best things about Monday morning 😊
…agreed, and Monday late evenings in the Southern Hemisphere. ❤
Every Morning !!❤💕😄
Benjamin is such polite little fella . "Will you open the door for me" Aww love it .
His side profile makes him look a little older but when you glimpse a full on face shot I remember just how young he is! The memories these babies will have with all these films , so magical!
Like mother like son of course :)
His parents taught by example.
Amazing video Laura!! I’m telling you she goes above and beyond to teach her audience how to do gardening! I absolutely LOVE HER!! Your amazing Laura!! You have inspired a lot of people including me and I’m only 15! And I’ve being gardening since I saw your planting bulbs in December video!! And now I teach others how to grow their own gardens on my channel Ultimate Gardening! I love you Laura and forever will be a great fan of you!💚
Your mom's Thanksgiving table scape was exquisite. Your a hard-working family and God has blessed you all for your faith, worship, and love. Thank-you for allowing us a glimpse of your lives.🦃Hope you all had a happy Thanksgiving.
Love Benjamin's smile pomander, he and Samantha were having so much fun with this project. You and your mother did such a great job. Glad you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Loved seeing the kids making the orange craft .. so cute. Your Mom’s dining room table was beautiful; she is a gift to all of you. 🥰
Benjamin, such a little gentleman.
You inspired me! I used to do these when my kids were little and I didn’t have extra money for decorations. My girls and I are going to get together and have a evening of making these and having hot cocoa and tea. Kids will be helping also. Thank you.
My 5th grade teacher had the class do these, but we didn't do designs, we covered the entire orange. I remember that more than anything about my grade school years. I'm 76 now and remember the oranges and cloves!
We did this also in 5th grade & its always been the best smell of fall & holiday's, I'm turning 66 on 12-21🌻✌
I’m storing up ideas of things to do with my brand new granddaughter when she grows up. Making memories! Love it!
Congratulations! Aren’t grandbabies the best thing in the whole world?
I love how Samantha and Benjamin got into the decorating of the oranges and that grandma and yourself Laura took the time and patience to help teach them how to do it. A memory they will cherish when they are older and see these videos.
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful family time with us. It warms my heart and soul.
My Mom died when I was 19 years old (I'm now 62).......so, I've missed so much in my life losing her when I was so young. I'm living vicariously through you in so many ways!
Thank you again so very much for sharing your love with us. ❤❤
Benjamin's smilely face Pomander made me giggle when he showed us and then again when Laura placed it into the decoration x 💜🍇🍆🙏😇🇦🇺🍆🍇💜🌼🕊️
Samantha licking the oranges cracked me up!
Please have your mom do a How To Video for her tablescapes!! HOLY MOLY SHE’S TALENTED! Would love to hear how she’s collected her items/decor.
I swear I could smell the fragrance from the cloves and oranges! Love you guys and the joy you bring to your viewers!
It's usually overlooked, but a B-I-G shoutout to your video editor! There's a lot of behind the scenes work here, making this video a joy to watch within a set time. Kudos & thanks for the seamless, expert editing work you do! It IS noticed!
Your mom's centerpiece on the table at the end of the video was just MARVELOUS! 😍😍
You know that you are a true Garden Answer junkie when at 1:40 you go „ah, that’s the vase that Laura bought that time when she and mom went antiquing” 😅
I tried these last year after watching your videos and had so much fun. It's now a new tradition I can share with my kids, too.
I enjoy watching all your videos and love when the kids and family are involved in fun projects like this.
Laura you amaze me, you never run out of creative ideas . Your arrangement looks so beautiful !!! It was fun watching the kids helping too.
Thank you for posting Susan’s spice recipe for enhancing the fragrance of the pomanders.
I love making them too PUSH PINS make even nicer holes for the cloves and have a nice handle as well.
These turned out beautifully... I'm so inspired!! Love your sweet Mom and of course the kiddos! I noticed Samantha Grace using her left hand a lot while making the Pomanders. Do you think she's going to be a lefty like your Mom? Thanks for sharing your precious family with all of us!!!
Benjamin’s happy face 😊 design made me smile
Good morning, Laura & Susan ☕️Breakfast of champions right there! Love it. 😂 What a fun project. Samantha Grace appears to be a lefty like her Nana. She is so stinkin’ cute. Your tray and Susan’s table came out gorgeous. Love all the turkeys 🦃. Have a Blessed Day 😊🐈
What an inspiration! Using the tray for a base is a great idea. Samantha Grace takes after her mom & gram can’t believe her dexterity ❤
I love your relationship with your beautiful Mom🥲 This is a great idea,I’m going to do this with my grands ❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽
It is so nice to see your kids get involved especially Benjamin.
Happy face… cute
The pomanders are also awesome floating in a wassail bowl
Samantha, so smart ,so pretty.
It’s called sleet that’s what the little itty-bitty snow balls looks like Sleet!
Sleet is type of precipitation distinct from snow, hail, and freezing rain. It forms under certain weather conditions, when a temperature inversion causes snow to melt, then refreeze.
SusieQ Martin. I live in Minnesota, we get sleet a LOT, not a favorite weather condition!
Happy Holidays to all !
How very sweet for the kids. Love to see everyone enjoying time with mom and grandma, too, ❤️ so sweet ! Blessings from Dallas, Texas 👋👋👋
That looked like fun. Thank you to Mom for sharing her recipe. Her table looked absolutely gorgeous!
So lovely to see family projects
Many thanks to your mom for being in the videos! It’s fun to see the kid’s learning skills.
Hello! Missed y’all. No highlights yesterday (totally understand - family time). Mimi & I hope you had a fabulous wonderful joyous Thanksgiving with family & friends. Nice to have our ray of sunshine back in the garden. You have inspired us and our garden thanks you for it.
Greetings from Windermere, Florida zone 9b USA 🇺🇸 🍊🇺🇸
Susan, you really are an excellent teacher In All Things Romancing!!!!
You have created the next generation of Romancers and now a Wee-Ones will Benjamin and Samantha 💙💓🍊
Thanks for sharing those tips on preserving👍
Happy Gardening Everyone 🎅🎄🤶
Beautiful arrangement. Lovely to see the kids involved with this project! Lovely to see your Mum has healed up after her accident.❤
Beautiful, natural and simple.
I just found a way to entertain 9 kids at one of our family Christmas’!
We made these as kids as well! But we didn't have such a glorious place to do that activity! The shed is really fantastic! 😀
You could put a bandaide on your finger while doing this also for extra cushion. Thanks for the fun idea!
Too funny the ad before the video, was a felco’s ad with you making a wreath😄I thought it was the real video 😊
We made these years ago when my mom was a Boy Scout Den Mother. It was one of the best crafts I remember making because it was fun and smelled so wonderful. We put tulle netting around them and tied them with a ribbon so they could be hung up in closets and on door handles. They made great, inexpensive gifts. The cloves acted as moth repellents, too, which was great since we still had coats made of 100% wool. And you are right! They lasted for a long time. Eventually the oranges would shrink down, and some of the cloves would fall out. Since we had covered them in the netting, the cloves were contained within the pomanders. This was such a lovely video that brought back many happy memories to me.
I have one from my youngest son. Who is thirty nine now. And his son my sweet grandson and I made them three years ago Chace is twelve now. I treasure them. They still smell wonderful, but are light as feathers. ❤
I usually call this the funny season, but Benjamin reminded me to smile and be kind. Tell Mom thanks for sharing the recipe. Hope you don't mind me adopting your mother. Many blessings on this Holiday 2022.
Mom's Thanksgiving table looks Stunning & so welcoming!
Thanks for another great project idea! 🍊🧡
Happy holidays!
You and your mom are so creative. Your piece you made for your counter looked so pretty after adding in the candles and the greenery and all. Your moms table was absolutely beautiful. I see where you get it from Laura.
I have tears in my eyes, this brought back memories of my Mom. When we were in grade school and would make these for the Nuns at school for the holidays!!
I love the older ones too! Thanks for this video, really nice.
They turned out so pretty 🤩! Samantha and Benjamin adorable 🥰🥰! Beautiful arrangements 🤗🙏🤗❤️ thank you for the recipe Susan ❣️
Benjamin’s smiley face is adorable
Our class made these one year, we used silk ribbon, they do smell so good, my mother was so happy when I brought mine home.
How exciting and fun. Making some great family memories 🍊
A quick tip to help keep your indoor Christmas greenery from dropping needles. After you trim them dip the cut ends in wax to seal the stems.
Laura , those are Gorgeous. I can’t make them for Thanksgiving but I can for Christmas . I know my little great grand daughter will love doing this. She will be 5 in 14 days. Thank you for sharing this lovely tradition ❤. Ann from Va.
Yeah, the oranges and cloves turned out beautifully. Little Samantha did an excellent job helping. Loved it!
Thank you so much for another wonderful video. I'm definitely going to try this project with my granddaughter. I'd like to know if we could ever meet Aaron's parents? I'm sure you do fun things like this with his mom and the kids. It would be fun to see the two grandmas together. Do they not like being filmed? I've been wondering why we don't ever see them. Thanks for sharing a fun day with us.
I love the orange pomanders. They turned out amazing. Your copper tray is so beautiful (all of my favorite colors!) and I bet it smells amazing with all of the spice, citrus, pine and eucalyptus perfuming the kitchen♡ Every year I help a friend decorate her home for Christmas. We always hang a fresh Noble Fir wreath in her informal dining room. She leaves it up through February and sometimes well into March with very minimal shedding. Noble is an incredible pine to use! Thank you, Laura and Susan for helping kick start my Christmas spirit!♡
We used to make these every year as children for a Christingle service. We put a cross of ribbon in red on them that also became a hanging loop. We would then put the cloves in the segments with enough gap to let the orange dry & shrink. You then hang them in your wardrobe.
It’s nice Samantha was included in this activity
What a fun project with your mom and the kids.😊
I just love seeing your moms home. I decorate much the same.
She has love inside her, and it shows and pours out into all she touches. Her grandchildren will love her as I'm sure her son inlaws do too. Truly a good woman. Don't see many like her anymore.
Your mom’s table is fantastic!
A beautiful warm display with the pomades in both yours and your mother's kitchens. I especially liked the copper tray with the three candles.
A fun project and a great conversation piece around the table. Thanks Laura!
Your countertop display became more and more fab as you worked 😍 Also loving your mother’s holiday table so so much 🤩❤️
Samantha’s getting so big she’s beautiful! And I love how Benjamin is always there to help. He’s a little man. You guys had a great time today. It’s always so relaxing watching your channel. Everything is always so festive. ❤🙏🙏
OMG your beautiful children, are so big and sweet!!!!💛💚💜💛💙
Enjoyed seeing the kids so engaged in this fun project. Tell Benjamin we loved his smiley face clove orange. There are lots of UA-camrs but we feel like your family are our good neighbors that live just down the street. Thanks Laura for sharing with us.
Benjamin’s smiley face is so cute!
Your mom’s table looks wonderful! Would like to know how you cook your turkey? Oven, roaster, in a bag, etc. 😊
The Thanksgiving table setting is gorgeous at your Mom and Dad's. Laura, your centerpiece looks beautiful as well.
Great fun and building those memories with the kids. I'm watching my grandkids this weekend, guess what we are going to do ‼️🎄⛄💕
Loved watching you, your Mom and the kids making pomanders in the beautiful cut flower shed! I have been doing this for many years. LOVE the scent in the house it means CHRISTMAS to me!!
Such patience! Love the family togetherness!!!!!!!
I ♥️ your children sharing your time too.
A lick from Samantha made all those pomanders extra special! Cuteness overload! 😍
It's lovely to see the kids enjoying it
Your arrangement and your Mom's tablescape are beautiful. Making memories with your babies/ grandkids, priceless.
Fantastic memories yall will have for many many many generations to come.
My little brother and I used to make these for our elementary teachers for Christmas. We covered the ENTIRE orange and attached a decorative bow and hanging loop for inside their clothes closets. Thankyou for bringing back this special memory😃!
I remember the live video with you and Aaron from a few years ago when you demonstrated making pomanders...boy, does that seem so long ago!
I miss the chaos of having wild and crazy young kids full of excitement and exuberance for all things those kids of mine would make me laugh until I cried. That was my favorite part of the video today ❤. I enjoy all of your videos and gardening is a passion I love it so much. But being a mama I have no words to explain it, y’all know.
I get sentimental around the holidays wanting my kids young again. But I now have grandchildren such a treasure it’s Christmas again!
Y’all shot this on my B day 🎉
I will be making those for my diningroom this week, plus dehydrating orange slices to hang on the feather tree in the diningroom. I have some that I made decades ago, petrified now, but I had covered them with the cloves and put ribbon on them, and they have resided in a bowl if feels like forever. Need to grab my grandchildren and teach them. Merry Merry!
oh, this is lovely, and look at Samantha go! the apple (or in this case, orange??) doesn't fall far from the tree... won't be long she will be helping just like Benjamin does... love how you allow them to help and express their own creativity... it's always a great time when you and your mom work together on things - thanks for taking us along! and now i have another idea for the grands over the holidays (yesterday we made fairy gardens with succulents)... inspiration from you every day!! 🥰❤thanks for the video!! 🥰❤
Absolutely the best way to use your time-having fun with family! The flower shed is the perfect place to do his project. I’ve made these clove oranges for a long time and enjoy it just like it was the first time Idid it😊
This was an awesome video. Benjamin is so grown. He is lovely to watch. Samantha, she’s sweet and feisty. Mom is so creative. Especially like her budget friendly ideas becsuse stuff is so costly. At the holidays when you are trying to chose budget for decor versus Christmas meal for 20 family members. Good has got so expensive.
🎶🎶love the piano music! Sounds like Snoopy could dance to it!!🎶❤️
Brings back fun memories of making these with my daughter and mother. ❤
Love your Mother’s table decorations!!!!!
You ladies are so talented.
Glad to see your Mom getting around so well!👌
Here in the south we call the tiny snowballs sleet. Thanks for sharing this project!
I love this! So sweet that you and your Mom shared this little fun project!!! So festive
