There's nothing embarrassing about using something until it gets as worn as that towel. I actually admire it and think we need to do more of that. We have become such a throwaway society.
My favorite towel is an old linen printed with fruit. At some point it belonged to my MIL and she was born 1922. I use it every week to cover my bread Doug on its final rise. It’s tattered and worn but I can’t bring myself to toss it yet. I think now that I’ve made this comment, I’ll do my least favorite job and darn it to make it last until my kids probably throw it away upon my death. Or, might they ask, “what was so special about this towel that Mom would keep it past its time.”
My towels are worn and full of holes, and that's when they become absorbent . You shop the way I do, very practical but with a little home decor mixed in😊. Your kitchen is beautiful!
@@TXDHC I love that 🥰 I have a vintage towel that I use to cover my bread too. I think it’s sweet that you are going to darn it. It’s got memories attached ❤️
I chuckled at your very calm response to your Spode dishes. I watch a gal who collects Spode and just about does back flips each time she scores a piece of Spode from the thrift stores. You might want to do a bit of research on your very nice find…you might be surprised. I also have to congratulate Hunny for the copper find which is also a very good score. I absolutely love thrifting and getting things at very reasonable prices, it makes my heart happy. I have been married for 43 years and still go thrifting mostly at Habitat for Humanity these days. Most of my thrifting is done during Jacks dialysis days but I prefer to thrift with him. Life has really changed in our home in the past year with all the health issues Hunny has been through so now thrifting is a way for me to shut my mind off from so much uncertainty. Some days I just look and sometimes I find great treasures. I so enjoy all your vlogs but when you go thrifting it is a joy to see what you find. I am also a gardener and books are my winter gardening. I am so glad your daughter loves to get her hands in the soil, it’s a worth while skill for her entire life to have and it really helps the household budget when we grow right down to the flowers! As a master gardener I always want to see more young gardeners. Sending you many prayers and wishes as we are now deep into the holiday and winter season. I think of you often as the weather reports are heard knowing you get far more winter white up in the UP than I do down here in the middle of the mitten. Thanks for enlightening and an entertaining me with yet another very nice visit. Blessings to you and all your family!!!:):):)
That’s too funny 😂 I was rather calm ❤️❤️❤️ I love red and white dishes but I don’t collect any one kind. However, those are stunning pieces! I’m glad you get out and enjoy thrifting too. Prayers for Jack and all you are going through 🙏 hang in there. Blessings to you both ❤️
I look forward to your videos so much. Your videos bring me a sense of peace at a time in my life that is chaotic due to caring 24/7 for a family member with dementia. Thank you for the calm your videos bring to my life.
Oh Abby Jo…..What a beautiful video! The food looked absolutely delicious. Your latest work area is so charming, I love the bread box! You have a good eye for thrift store finds. I love that your daughters are gardeners and cooks! Thanks for all the attention to detail in your videos…. ❤️
Happy belated birthday! 🎉 So glad you found beautiful and fun things for your birthday selections. You and I have similar tastes!! ❤ Btw: the Spode cups and plate are very collectible in the red
Happy birthday! No shame in using your things to their fullest potential. I see it as honoring your hard earned dollars, the item, and the precious people who labored to make it.
I absolutely love your fines. I love, antiques and coziness I own an 1918 house and my theme is coziness and old fashion. Thank you for your videos. They really inspire me you are about happiness.
I love your new work area! So perfect! I think we have the same wishes for our Birthday’s! My Birthday was early November and my husband and I went to the Amish Countryside near us. I was able to go thrifting, and have lunch, and just did simple things. My husband who isn’t really a shopper always acts like it’s the best thing he’s ever done on my Birthday.😁 I love the red dishes you found! I think a studded orange with cloves, and pine on the side in that soup bowl would make a beautiful Christmas decoration! Thank you for a great video! It was wonderful!
Thank you dear! We are kindred spirits and of course we would love the same things ;) I love the idea for decorating with the red dishes. Blessings to you this week.
Another Michigander here (born and raised in Ann Arbor, now live just north of it) saying hello and how much I love your channel. I love northern Michigan and would live there if they had the medical care I need (stroke survivor)...we have a truly gorgeous state. Thank you for sharing your birthday haul, day out and Thanksgiving feast with us. I love how your daughters help so much! ❤ I love how down to earth you are Abby!
Recently I found a new thrift store in Southern California with just kitchen items. You would love it. For me it is hard to stay away. Your copper salt box is what I am going watch for
Thank you for sharing your home and family for the holiday. It all looks so yummy. I'm happy for you that you still have your children around. I don't get to see mine for the holidays anymore. They are having their own family gatherings now. But it is nice to have the memories.
November is also my birthday and wedding anniversary month! (Belated well-wishes to you on both of yours!) I love your plate rack and back splash! I had been thinking of putting up a brick back splash in our kitchen because it reminds me of my childhood home kitchen--and we finally did it this summer! I love it. Now for that plate rack....someone tell Santa! Love your channel. Our family is walking through a bad time with my Mom right now. She has Parkinson's and isn't well at all and just got out of the hospital. I'm trying to make Christmas--the lead up to it and everything--nice even though we are all a bit sad about my Mom's state of health. We still have a 140yo at home and I want her to have good holiday memories, and we have 2 grandchildren as well. Thanks for a calm, relaxing, hygge break in my day! God bless you.
Awww, I am so glad this can be a hygge break in your day :) And I hope you have a special time with your mom. Blessings and peace during these days of walking through sickness with a loved one.
Natasha you're so sweet and helpful. A very capable girl. I'm sure the little kids love you lots. Merry Christmas girls. Hi Daniel you are so sweet and kind to your family.
It's always such a joy to sit here on a quiet evening and watch one of your videos :) I love the way your creating such a beautiful home with all your lovely 'thrifted finds' too. You make everything, even a simple dinner seem very cozy, and inviting !! Many blessings to you ~ Linda
Happy Birthday, friend!❤️ I love your thrift finds! The dresser is so cute and perfect! That’s what I always choose to do for my birthday date, too - thrifting and a nice meal out.🥰 My favorite recent thrift finds are a cast iron Christmas tree stand, and a Johnson Bros “Coaching Scenes” platter. My husband also scored a nice pair of end tables/nightstands at the “Bonner Mall” yesterday. Your Thanksgiving feast looks like it was amazing, and I love your new work station!
Aww, thank you friend! Thrifting and a meal is a perfect birthday :) Sounds like you got some really nice thrift store scores, I love the Bonner Mall I miss shopping there. Have a blessed week dear.
You managed your voice challenges well, Abby Jo. I relate to what you say about things well used, valued and replaced thriftily as needed. Pleased you enjoyed time away with your husband on your shopping expedition ahead of the cold and snow. I'm in Sydney, Australia in hibernation due to heatwave but I enjoy homemaking and many of the cold climate traditions. Lovely that your garden supplies your kitchen: the connect between cooking and growing is precious. Greetings of the Season to you and you family!🥀🌻🌼
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Abby 🤗🤩😍🥳...and HAPPY THANKSGIVING ..To You,Daniel and family ...🍁🍂 A Fabulous video...fun time shopping and having a day out ..treating yourself with birthday goodies ..🎉 I love seeing your family gathering around. The kitchen to prepare and cook with you ..Precious moments to treasure ..then to enjoy good food and company ..💞
Abby Jo, I love thrifting and picking up special things. Your new work station is wonderful. I can just smell the good things coming out of your kitchen.
What a wonderful kitchen you have! And when I saw you purchase those dishes at the thrift shop, I didn’t realize I would get to see them put to use! You have taught your daughters exceptionally well, as they are so capable of helping you do wonderful things in your lovely kitchen! All the things you had for your amazing Thanksgiving dinner were surely beyond delicious!
Just like you , we make sure any towelling is used to its fullest before replacing. Sometimes, like our bath mat a few months ago , it then didn't even have enough of itself left to move to the rag box when i finally replaced it . Haha. I love your thrifted pieces. I cant remember ever seeing a copper salt pot but its gorgeous and in fantastic condition. I finally got my ceremic white one with little blue flowers😅 and last week found a vintage sifter with a similar enough pattern to go on the kitchen shelves when we eventually do them. All the food looks incredible! ❤❤❤ The green bowl is the perfect size to catch the fresh ground flour too. Thank you for a beautiful video sweetheart ❤❤
Yes, it's a very use it up wear it out around here :) I wanted a blue and white one, but when we found the copper one, I knew that was the one for me! Tis the season for good food, hope you are having a blessed week friend! hugs xx
What a delightful, heart warming video you shared with us. Slow living , home- centered , nature loving is a life style I aspire to I love the fact that you are not a blue and white purist Your green bowl and red and white Spode dishes are gorgeous I would love to see how you organize your pantry Happy holidays to you and your family
Aww, I'm so glad you enjoyed it. That's right, I am not a white and blue purist, I love colors! Red, Green, Blue, and I love Gold. Wood, brick, and baskets are my textures :) I will have to show my pantry, it's not fancy. But I'm thankful for it.
What a delightfully beautiful video Abby Jo. I felt as though I were in your kitchen along with you and your family. I love how you all work together and it shows that you love each other and truly are happy. Thank you for sharing these special moments with us! God bless you all!
Salt corrodes copper and there is controversy regarding salt in copper. I love aldi as well. Great towels and linens. Looking forward to your decorating and holiday baking and all the coziness to come.
I needed this so bad. We didn’t get to have a family Thanksgiving because every one of us have Covid. I love it when you take us thrifting with you and loved your TJMaxx finds too. I absorbed every single minute of this video. Happy Birthday 🎉
Abby Jo, it is very obvious that you are an incredible mother. You have trained your daughters well. What a beautiful Thanksgiving meal. Hate for your videos to be over!!
Wha a wonderful thrift haul! I so enjoyed that. Happy birthday Abby Jo! Your daughters are so lovely and talented just like their Mom. Your pies are a work of art and the feast you all prepared was gorgeous and delicious I’m sure. Val C
My hubby gets excited when the towels are shredding…. “Nice, a new shop rag!” I enjoy watching you thrift shop. When we take a road trip thrifting is always on our to do list. Blessings.
Hi Abby Jo. Happy Belated Birthday, dear one. I loved this video for so many reasons. Watching you and your daughters preparing your Thanksgiving feast was so calming and enjoyable. Your new addition to your pantry is so nice and efficient. I'm happy for you that the thought came to fruition. I just adore your home and how you've made it so warm and cozy. The trip to the thrifting shop was fun. I love that large green bowl you found. As you were putting away all your bulk shopping items into canisters, the cocoa one with the red cover caught my eye. I'm assuming that was a past thrift item? It looks very old and quaint. Until next time, take good care and stay well.
I am so glad there are other ladies for their birthday does thrift store shopping. My birthday was in November also. Hubby asked me what I would like to do.. yep we went thrift store and antique shopping. I came home with some amazing kitchen items also...
This was truly a lovely video ❤️ I love the new work station. I need a cheese hook instead of hanging it from a kitchen knob lol. I have found both my blue and white vintage salt cellars from the thrift store as well, it’s the only place I go to. It’s so nice to find classic well loved pieces that continue to be used and loved. Good job!
Saying hello from snowy and very cold Colorado. I enjoy your videos. A recent subscriber. What a find, that copper salt box!! It's gorgeous. I adore you for showing your dish towel. I use mine until they fall apart too. My bath towels too. I have one towel however that when i went to dry of my back split right in half. Yay, i needed rags. Blessings to you and your beautiful family. ❤
What a beautiful way to end my Sunday. It was such a lovely video to find this evening. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your Family. All the food looks so delicious 😋 What a nifty salt cellar, I love the wool throw, the beautiful crystal lamp, and the white and red soup bowls. I can imagine you were so excited to find the small dresser and side table. Happy Birthday 🎉 and I hope you’ve had a wonderful Birthday week. ~ Janet 💕
🎉Happy birthday and anniversary!!!🎉 We are so alike in so many ways, sharing so many of the same interests, etc! Don't be alarmed or embarrassed about your textiles. I purchase mine in bulk because I use vinegar (that may not always be fully diluted😬) to wash dishes and clean the kitchen with. As a result, my kitchen towels/textiles begin to disintegrate as well.🤣😅😁 Your purchases are so lovely AJ!😍
I love seeing how your family all work together and how you are passing on to your daughters all your cooking and homemaking expertise . love how calming your home is thank you for sharing. Happy Birthday and Happy Anniversary 💕
Happy birthday and happy anniversary!! Your house after thrifting and doing a grocery haul looks very familiar. We do the same thing by buying bulk and it takes a while to organize and put up but it’s so worth it. It keeps you out of the stores weekly so much. Your kitchen work area turned out great. Salt boxes are perfect. We have two of them. The wool blanket is beautiful.
I don't like brand new either as everyone has it. Lol. And if you are patient, you will find what you need. Love your birthday haul. I, too, enjoy going thrifting as my birthday treat! Must be the November in is 😊 Thank you for sharing a cozy video😊 Ps wish i could step into your video and share a cup of tea ❤
How wonderful to see everyone gathering in the kitchen cooking so many beautiful dishes.. reminds me of my childhood .. i miss it so much. Thank you for this lovely video ❤❤❤ happy birthday!!!
I really enjoyed this video. (I actually love them all!) This time of year is so special and we love it. We are thankful every single day. These cooler seasons filled with family, blessings & thankfulness are our favorites. Your views of homemaking are much like mine, even though our decorating and design "styles" are different. I love antique and vintage items and have an appreciation for other decorating styles as well. What makes cottage core so delightful to me is the peacefulness and beauty in every day living. Something that I have always strived for, but never knew there was a name for it, until I happened upon your channel awhile back. Wishing you and your family a beautiful Christmas and a Blessed New Year. 💙 P.S. I could hear you very well in this video. I hope whatever was affecting the sound last time has been taken care of. Thank you! 😊
Awww 🥰 I agree with you on so many points ❤️ it’s a very special time of year. Slow cottage living is peaceful and I strive to embrace all the joy and beauty in the everyday. Kindred spirits. I think something was wrong with our mic and we had to readjust it. Glad you could hear everything good 😊
Happy Belated Birthday. I haven't seen you in a few months.So glad I happened up this November video. Love how your daughter helps you with baking. My daughters were not that interested in cooking when they were at home, but now that they are married, they are all good cooks. I also love ALDI's. I live less than two hours south of the bridge. Wouldn't it be fun to meet at a Consignment shop? Maybe we could plan that sometime in the summer. also, can you post your pie crust recipe, mine does not roll out as easy as yours looks.
Thank you! Someday I should do a meet up with a group of you all close by. Here is the recipe from my blog :www.forgottenwayfarms.com/forgotten-way-farms-blog/basic-pie-crust-recipe-video-tutorial
Happy Birthday.💐🎂I think your salt box is so unique, I love it. Great finds while thrifting and at TJ Maxx. I love your channel. Take care and rest that voice.
Abby Jo, belated Happy Birthday to you and belated Happy Anniversary to you & Daniel! ❤ I love your new work station esp with the little dresser and cake/bread cabinet - beautiful and useful. You did well on thrifting. The red & white soup bowls and plate are precious and can be used for Christmas decorations. I must say Thanksgiving dinner looked incredibly appetizing. Blessings to you and your family, stay safe & warm, prayers 🕊🙏🙋♀️
Happy Anniversary and Happy Birthday, and it definitely looks like a Happy Thanksgiving! When you put your hands on the Spode dishes I actually said, “yes” out loud!😂 Beautiful meal! (I see you must like Vernors ginger ale too!) Your children are well trained for life! I taught both our girls and boys to cook and bake. I’ve never regretted the time spent teaching. Enjoy your videos so much!❤
Awww thank you! 🥰 yes, we do like Vernon’s too 😃 I don’t regret one minute in the kitchen with my kids too. Good job on teaching your children to cook and bake, it really is such a good life skill. ❤️
Lady. Tjmax is the devil for me. I go in for one thing and come out 100$ later with stuff I didn't know I needed and couldn't say no to. Lol so now I need to go again and see if the one here carries what you found lol

There's nothing embarrassing about using something until it gets as worn as that towel. I actually admire it and think we need to do more of that. We have become such a throwaway society.
It’s true, use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without… is the old adage. ❤️
My favorite towel is an old linen printed with fruit. At some point it belonged to my MIL and she was born 1922. I use it every week to cover my bread Doug on its final rise. It’s tattered and worn but I can’t bring myself to toss it yet.

My towels are worn and full of holes, and that's when they become absorbent . You shop the way I do, very practical but with a little home decor mixed in😊. Your kitchen is beautiful!
@@TXDHC I love that 🥰 I have a vintage towel that I use to cover my bread too. I think it’s sweet that you are going to darn it. It’s got memories attached ❤️
@@shellypontz4155 That’s true, they do become more absorbent. 😊 ❤️

I’m so glad our videos can be a calm relaxing place to take a break ❤️❤️❤️ blessings to you.
So love your kitchen Abbyjo and the way it has evolved. Much prefer an unfitted kitchen as it has far more usefulness and character. Tricia x
Thank you, I agree it really is nice having an unfitted kitchen. I think it’s extra cozy ❤️
Oh Abby Jo…..What a beautiful video! The food looked absolutely delicious. Your latest work area is so charming, I love the bread box! You have a good eye for thrift store finds. I love that your daughters are gardeners and cooks! Thanks for all the attention to detail in your videos…. ❤️
You are so welcome! I'm so blessed that you enjoy the videos :)
Happy belated birthday! 🎉
So glad you found beautiful and fun things for your birthday selections.
You and I have similar tastes!! ❤
Btw: the Spode cups and plate are very collectible in the red
Awww 🥰 thank you! Kindred spirits. I love red and white dishes ❤️
Happy birthday! No shame in using your things to their fullest potential. I see it as honoring your hard earned dollars, the item, and the precious people who labored to make it.

Old towels that are tattered join my cleaning basket. I am amazed how much life they still have to offer 🤗
SO true! :)
I just love you! Thank you for another homey video. Our family values the same things you do, it's rare to find these days!
Awww, thank you dear!

How fun, I’ve never known a thrift store just for kitchen items! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for sharing your home and family for the holiday. It all looks so yummy. I'm happy for you that you still have your children around. I don't get to see mine for the holidays anymore. They are having their own family gatherings now. But it is nice to have the memories.
I'm so glad you enjoy the videos. I miss my kids that live far away, but thankful for the ones still at home. :)
November is also my birthday and wedding anniversary month! (Belated well-wishes to you on both of yours!)
I love your plate rack and back splash! I had been thinking of putting up a brick back splash in our kitchen because it reminds me of my childhood home kitchen--and we finally did it this summer! I love it. Now for that plate rack....someone tell Santa!

Abby Jo, I love thrifting and picking up special things. Your new work station is wonderful. I can just smell the good things coming out of your kitchen.
Thrifting is sooo fun! I'm really happy how it turned out :) and cant wait to make all kinds of good things this winter.

Thank you ☺️ I appreciate that. My girls are such a blessing in my life 💕💕💕
Gosh! I would kill for that beautiful crusty bread!😂❤😊
Awww 🥰 we love good homemade bread at our house!
Lovely video. ❤ Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.
Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
Many blessing to you and your family during the holiday season! God bless!
Thank you :)
Thank you
🥰 you are welcome!
My hubby gets excited when the towels are shredding…. “Nice, a new shop rag!” I enjoy watching you thrift shop. When we take a road trip thrifting is always on our to do list. Blessings.
I bet, my husband uses them as shop rags too! Good way to keep using it up ☺️ love hitting thrift stores on road-trips too.
Hi Abby Jo. Happy Belated Birthday, dear one. I loved this video for so many reasons. Watching you and your daughters preparing your Thanksgiving feast was so calming and enjoyable. Your new addition to your pantry is so nice and efficient. I'm happy for you that the thought came to fruition. I just adore your home and how you've made it so warm and cozy. The trip to the thrifting shop was fun. I love that large green bowl you found. As you were putting away all your bulk shopping items into canisters, the cocoa one with the red cover caught my eye. I'm assuming that was a past thrift item? It looks very old and quaint. Until next time, take good care and stay well.
Thank you, for the birthday wishes! Yes, it was a past thrift item, good eye :) I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! Blessings dear.
I truly enjoyed this whole vlog, thank you Abby❤
Thank you for watching the whole thing ❤️❤️❤️ we tried to make it a little longer. ☺️
I am so glad there are other ladies for their birthday does thrift store shopping. My birthday was in November also. Hubby asked me what I would like to do.. yep we went thrift store and antique shopping. I came home with some amazing kitchen items also...
Kindred spirits ❤️❤️❤️ love thrifting for my birthday.
What a wonderful video, happy belated birthday! Your videos are so relaxing and inspiring! 🍁🦃🧡
Thank you so much!
My towels look much the same and I asked for some new ones for Christmas! Happy belated birthday, and anniversary month- love to you all☺️🩷
Thank you 🥰 Christmas is a good time to get new towels too!
This was truly a lovely video ❤️ I love the new work station. I need a cheese hook instead of hanging it from a kitchen knob lol. I have found both my blue and white vintage salt cellars from the thrift store as well, it’s the only place I go to. It’s so nice to find classic well loved pieces that continue to be used and loved. Good job!
Thank you dear ❤️ I love the blue and white salt cellars, that was what I was looking for, but then I found the copper one!
Thank you so much for your videos, so inspiring and inspiring!!! You have a beautiful voice.
❤️❤️❤️ so glad you enjoy our videos.
Saying hello from snowy and very cold Colorado. I enjoy your videos. A recent subscriber. What a find, that copper salt box!! It's gorgeous. I adore you for showing your dish towel. I use mine until they fall apart too. My bath towels too. I have one towel however that when i went to dry of my back split right in half. Yay, i needed rags. Blessings to you and your beautiful family. ❤

You are so right 💕
What a beautiful way to end my Sunday. It was such a lovely video to find this evening. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your Family. All the food looks so delicious 😋 What a nifty salt cellar, I love the wool throw, the beautiful crystal lamp, and the white and red soup bowls. I can imagine you were so excited to find the small dresser and side table. Happy Birthday 🎉 and I hope you’ve had a wonderful Birthday week. ~ Janet 💕
Thank you, Janet 💕🎉 I’m happy you enjoyed the video and ended your day hanging out with me ☺️
🎉Happy birthday and anniversary!!!🎉
We are so alike in so many ways, sharing so many of the same interests, etc! Don't be alarmed or embarrassed about your textiles. I purchase mine in bulk because I use vinegar (that may not always be fully diluted😬) to wash dishes and clean the kitchen with. As a result, my kitchen towels/textiles begin to disintegrate as well.🤣😅😁 Your purchases are so lovely AJ!😍
Awww 🥰 thank you! Kindred spirits 💕
@@ForgottenWayFarms you're welcome. 😊💐
@@HandmaidenOfDistinction66854 🥰🥰🥰
I love your new work station. Your food looks wonderful as always!
Thank you so much!
I love seeing how your family all work together and how you are passing on to your daughters all your cooking and homemaking expertise . love how calming your home is thank you for sharing. Happy Birthday and Happy Anniversary 💕
Awww 🥰 thank you.
Happy birthday and happy anniversary!! Your house after thrifting and doing a grocery haul looks very familiar. We do the same thing by buying bulk and it takes a while to organize and put up but it’s so worth it. It keeps you out of the stores weekly so much. Your kitchen work area turned out great. Salt boxes are perfect. We have two of them. The wool blanket is beautiful.
Awww 🥰 thank you!!! It takes awhile to put everything away, doesn’t it? But so worth it ❤️
I get so excited when you have a new video. Makes me want to be there too!
Awww 🥰 I’m so glad you enjoy them!
I always love your videos. It’s so nice to see how capable your daughters are. You have taught them well. 😊
Aww, thank you so much!
I don't like brand new either as everyone has it. Lol. And if you are patient, you will find what you need.
Love your birthday haul. I, too, enjoy going thrifting as my birthday treat! Must be the November in is 😊
Thank you for sharing a cozy video😊
Ps wish i could step into your video and share a cup of tea ❤
I agree, It's fun being unique, and having vintage pieces. Virtual tea parties would be fun :)
Oh, how I do enjoy your videos! I always admire how hard your family works TOGETHER to get it all done.❤
Thank you so much dear!
Happy birthday! So glad you found the perfect gift! 🎁
Thank you, it was so perfectly me :)
How wonderful to see everyone gathering in the kitchen cooking so many beautiful dishes.. reminds me of my childhood .. i miss it so much. Thank you for this lovely video ❤❤❤ happy birthday!!!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it :)
I really enjoyed this video. (I actually love them all!) This time of year is so special and we love it. We are thankful every single day. These cooler seasons filled with family, blessings & thankfulness are our favorites. Your views of homemaking are much like mine, even though our decorating and design "styles" are different. I love antique and vintage items and have an appreciation for other decorating styles as well. What makes cottage core so delightful to me is the peacefulness and beauty in every day living. Something that I have always strived for, but never knew there was a name for it, until I happened upon your channel awhile back. Wishing you and your family a beautiful Christmas and a Blessed New Year. 💙 P.S. I could hear you very well in this video. I hope whatever was affecting the sound last time has been taken care of. Thank you! 😊
Awww 🥰 I agree with you on so many points ❤️ it’s a very special time of year. Slow cottage living is peaceful and I strive to embrace all the joy and beauty in the everyday. Kindred spirits. I think something was wrong with our mic and we had to readjust it. Glad you could hear everything good 😊
I absolutely love your peaceful, cozy, and very interesting videos! Thank you so much for all your time and trouble in filming them for us!
You are so welcome! Glad you like them :)
Looks absolutely amazing 😮 I really do enjoy your content 😇🫶😇
I'm so glad you enjoy it!
I’m sooooo happy 😊😊😊

Happy Belated Birthday. I haven't seen you in a few months.So glad I happened up this November video. Love how your daughter helps you with baking. My daughters were not that interested in cooking when they were at home, but now that they are married, they are all good cooks. I also love ALDI's. I live less than two hours south of the bridge. Wouldn't it be fun to meet at a Consignment shop? Maybe we could plan that sometime in the summer. also, can you post your pie crust recipe, mine does not roll out as easy as yours looks.
Thank you! Someday I should do a meet up with a group of you all close by. Here is the recipe from my blog :www.forgottenwayfarms.com/forgotten-way-farms-blog/basic-pie-crust-recipe-video-tutorial
Happy Birthday.💐🎂I think your salt box is so unique, I love it. Great finds while thrifting and at TJ Maxx. I love your channel. Take care and rest that voice.
Thank you ☺️ I will 💕💕💕

Abby Jo, belated Happy Birthday to you and belated Happy Anniversary to you & Daniel! ❤
I love your new work station esp with the little dresser and cake/bread cabinet - beautiful and useful. You did well on thrifting. The red & white soup bowls and plate are precious and can be used for Christmas decorations. I must say Thanksgiving dinner looked incredibly appetizing. Blessings to you and your family, stay safe & warm, prayers 🕊🙏🙋♀️
Thank you dear 💕 I’m so happy with the new work station! Blessings to you too.
Happy Birthday Abby and Happy November!
Thank you!
Happy Anniversary and Happy Birthday, and it definitely looks like a Happy Thanksgiving!
When you put your hands on the Spode dishes I actually said,
“yes” out loud!😂
Beautiful meal! (I see you must like Vernors ginger ale too!)
Your children are well trained for life! I taught both our girls and boys to cook and bake. I’ve never regretted the time spent teaching. Enjoy your videos so much!❤
Awww thank you! 🥰 yes, we do like Vernon’s too 😃 I don’t regret one minute in the kitchen with my kids too. Good job on teaching your children to cook and bake, it really is such a good life skill. ❤️
Loved this video… the shopping was great and seeing your preparations for Thanksgiving was magical.
Awww 🥰 so glad you enjoyed it!
Beautiful pies!

Lady. Tjmax is the devil for me. I go in for one thing and come out 100$ later with stuff I didn't know I needed and couldn't say no to. Lol so now I need to go again and see if the one here carries what you found lol
It’s so true, that’s why I only frequent it a couple times a year 😂❤️
Happy birthday 🎉and happy anniversary watching your video I am going to try to make feda.😊
Thank you! I hope it turns out great, I love making feta ❤️
Those Spode soup bowls are listed at $15 each! You go, Girl!
Wow, what a score! Didn’t even know that ❤️❤️❤️
Happy belated birthday! 🎉🎂💐🎁

The mug looks like it was originally sold at kohl's. I have the plates dishes in that style good find
Oh really! I love the design ❤️❤️❤️
Happy Birthday!
Thank you! :)
I'm curious about the crystal "up" light. Did it give you the cozy glow you were looking for? Tj Maxx... the BEST place for kitchen textiles.
Yes, I very much like the lighting. I will have to show it off in a video soon ❤️
Wow!! Great video!!!
Thank you, glad you liked it ❤️
