    I was born in the 40s. The more knicks knacks, the more impressive. It was the ultimate gift. And homemade? Not so admired. Oh, the dusting! Thank goodness we edit them now and show them in the season. Now homemade is treasured.
    Thanks for sharing.

    1981 here! I'm feeling every bit of 42 and then some too 😂 we had those crazy clown knick knacks in my baby brother's room and they freaked me out every time I went in there to get something for my mom. I'd tip toe in there, snatch up a diaper or whatever, then run as fast as I could out of there 😁 beautiful projects today ❤

    I was born in the late 60s. I dusted those knick knacks!😊 My grandmother had porcelain heart shaped jewelry box . I own that now.❤ She also had a cluster of yellow gold glass grapes! I was fascinated by them!😲

    Born in the early 60’s… I had lots of Knick knacks along with 175 sets of salt and peppers ( ya. Ugh)
    In my 40’s, I streamlined and went to almost minimalist. Now that I have turned 60 (oh dear heavens that sounds old), I have started adding back . Not too much that my kids will have to deal with when I’m gone (I figure my craft supplies will be bad enough 😂😂😂) but just enough to bring in some “cozy”
    So happy I found your channel! Such a talented artist you are!

    • @thediystruggle
      @thediystruggle  8 місяців тому

      60is young!! You could leave little notes under the nik naks for the kids to find later.
      Joe was my favorite
      Just kidding it was Jessica
      I have a ton of money stashed somewhere in this house...lol
      Oh the stories they will tell about their moms nik nacks..lol

    I was born in the late fifties and my grandma lived with us permanently. Knick knacks were a thing for my whole life. Everyone had them. There were even trends with the knick knacks...like bowls with fake grapes in them. Some things should never be repeated. Jus sayin... Brandi, I love all the paint ideas you shared with us. I will definitely be trying a bunch. Thanks sweetie
