    Hello Teresa‼️ I want to let you know that I have to try painting a few glassware items, as you have done. I have been trying to find pink Christmas glassware of various types. You gave this great idea of spray painting some items that I already have on hand. I have always been leary of spray painting on glass. I now have the confidence to do so, thanks to you. I bought a 4-5 ft "pink flocked Christmas tree at an antique store for $20. It came with a beautiful skirt. I want to maybe dress it up and put it in the dining room, this year. I have some pretty pink bowls, plates, etc. Now I need to find my stash of Christmas mugs, knickknacks, and maybe some candlesticks to paint. I'm really excited to see the outcome.😮 You are my favorite crafter because I love how you transform unique items into Shabby Chic or French country decor.❣️ Many thanks for sharing your talents with all of us. Anxiously awaiting the next video ‼️🫶

    Just found your you tube. Seeing the field of cotton brought back memories. In our family were a lot of cotton pickers. I went to school through the week then on Saturday we picked with our dad. Then we got to go to town. My dad would give us a dollar. Back then I could buy several things for that $. I don't miss it. We were poor an would do jobs we didn't like to do make a dollar.

    Teresa these Diy's are stunning I love the white in most of these projects I have all three transfer books this year I told my husband I won't be throwing away the covers of these beautiful transfers you be silly after spending that much money on each book use everything you can. One of my favorite was that box that you use the Santa Claus transfer on plus the pitcher with those beautiful flowers I can't wait to find something to use that one on. You and Ben have a wonderful week sending you both lots of love your way.

    Teresa,
    I loved all your beautiful DIY’s. Thanks for all your ideas and ways to flips and change an ordinary piece of items at a thrift store of rummage or garage sale and make it have beauty and a new life in today’s society.
    The poor stool dedicated his legs and was reborn to a new life and age to overcome all the hardships he had been. Now, he will “RISE UP” and help any and all the others who need assistance: plants, vases, pictures, books, dishes, etc… The legs and cross bars can be used as peduncles, framing, trunks for Christmas or any tree, etc…
    So sorry for such a long comment.
    My husband’s family lives in the Mississippi Delta. Family reunion is always the first weekend of November. All you see when you go up there is a sea of cotton. The first time I went I was so intrigued. I had seen fields of cotton before, but not miles upon miles of cotton. You would also see bales of cotton were they had started the harvest. Sometimes the harvest would be completed. It always depended on the weather. There had also changed how the bales were covered. My first trip, the bales had no covering. About ten years they had a cheese cloth textured plastic material that was stretched over the bales with a number spray painted on it. Several years later and to date, they put a solid white plastic just like what is now put on big hay bales and they are spray painted a number.
    When we were on our way back to Laurel, Mississippi, a few times we would stop on side of the were a firmed had been harvested and cut a few stalks of cotton. I put them in a vase on my mantle. You can not get dust off of a cotton bole, even though, I had a house keeper that came every week and my a/c filter was changed monthly. We did live on a farm and a dirt road. That is life for you. You can’t dust cotton. As I has gotten a little more knowledgeable about crafting, I could have sprayed the boles of cotton with hairspray and it might have helped stiffen the boles of cotton and the dust could have shaken of and wiped of gently with a cloth. What do you think?
    Reunion is coming up in November. I don’t know if I will attend. My husband and in-laws passed away five years ago and it is just me and my son and 2 grandchildren here in Laurel. My health is not the best. It is a 4 hour drive. It reunion starts Friday night through Sunday morning breakfast. Will need hotel rooms.
    The grandkids are 2- little girl and the little boy will be 1- on November 4th, which is that Saturday of the reunion.
    I doubt we will go. Mom stated little man walked a few steps today, but he didn’t walk by himself again. I am pretty sure; he will be up and walking before his first birthday. Amazing, he has achieved and developed in areas quicker than his sister.
    She is not developmentally delayed or anything like that; she was on point or above on others. It’s amazing that these babies are doing so well with their developmental skills.
    I have a friend and her grandson was walking at 9 months old.
    Peanut May have been, if I had gotten his walker sooner, but I am on a limited income.

    I didn't grow up around a cotton field, but we did live in a mill village that was originally owned by the local cotton mill that made cotton material. My mom worked there along with a lot of her family, so the connection is still there. Thanks so much for sharing all of these beautiful decor pieces. I really love watching your videos on Sunday mornings as I'm drinking my coffee and getting ready to start my day. God bless you and Ben.

    Yes ….don’t forget to use those front covers on the Transfers Books ! Love the vessel that you used that pretty Transfer on. Love that Book and the Woodland Animal one. I have got to get brave and use the resin. I know it is easy, just need to jump in and do it…LOL!!!!
    Another beautiful video! I remember the first time I saw cotton fields in South Carolina when my sister lived there. So pretty ! But one must know how to pick it so you don’t get hurt! A kid from New York State had no idea ! LOL!
