Thank you so much for uploading it and letting all of us take part!! Again, thank you!!! Much love and respect from me to you, Yvonne
Wow, so lovely!!!!! I just love the traditional dark greens and reds, the big pops of pure white decor adds a fresh touch. The trees were so fun to see. Thanks for the decor home tour, the best. Hugs.
Love , love , love your decorations for all the Holidays .They bring me such joy as I love to decorate also . I'm like you I decorate each room also with a tree in each room . I like watching all of your hauls. I also live in New Jersey . Thanks for all the laughs . May God bless you .
CLAPPPPPPINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG...TRULY STUNNING!! EVERY ROOM LOOKED LIKE A DEPARTMENT STORE, WOW YOU TRULY ARE GIFTED MY FRIEND! OF COURSE I LOVED SEEING YOUR DOLL COLLECTION, THEY ARE AMAZINGLY PRETTY! MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY, I JUST LOVE YOU! HUGGGGSSSSSSSSSS
Your home looks absolutely stunning. What an amazing talent you have for decorating your home. Your girls must feel like every xmas they are living in one of santas caves. Magical.
I love the Christmas videos on You Tube & I watch them every year. You really outdid yourself on your home. You took me on a lovely journey with a beautiful surprise around every corner. It made my day! Thank you so much.. You've taught me a lot.
Anita Tate Thanks so much Anita for watching. I just love pulling out all of the items each year and to hear that you enjoyed what I shared does my heart good. I appreciate you watching!
That just made me smile! It is June!!! I don't know what rock I've been under. Lol u have a very beautiful home and have repurposed your finds wonderfully. Thanks so much for sharing, my 7 year old daughter now wants a tree in her room this Christmas. I am totally using some of your ideas this Christmas.
Thanks so much for revisiting my Christmas video. Talk about a tad bit overboard RIGHT?! OMYGOODNESS get her a little tree for her own, she will LOVE decorating it each year that goes by. They grow up so fast so we have to keep them young as long as we can.
WOW! This is amazing! I can't imagine how long this took to set up. I love how the entire home was decorated and seemed full yet it does not feel cluttered or thrown together. Every item looks so lovingly placed. Not to mention the collection of brown skinned figurines. I know that took years to accomplish because those are rare, comparatively, and they sell out fast too which really makes this spectacular!
kelly knowles Hey Kelly I've been collecting for years and yes I grab them up when I see any because you are right they are far and few between. I appreciate you so much for watching!
Your Welcome, Hun. i appreciate you taking the time to share. I've been learning a lot from your vids. I just drug home 4 solid wood chairs that were "free". lol We are going to sand, stain and redo the cushions for our dining room. :)
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! You collect the same sort of dolls/santas and angels as i do! have never ever seen anyone else have this sort of concentrated collection..yours far exceeds mine...you are impressive!
Thanks so much for watching Patricia. I really enjoying sharing my collections and it's always nice to hear that someone else has an interest in the same. Enjoy your weekend!
it reminded me of my aunt I love your little village I've been wanting one but so expensive each piece can't believe dollar tree had them I loved all your decorations
lucy Gallegos thank you so much Lucy. I'm noticing that the stores aren't doing the little villages as much as previous years. Dollar Tree isn't carrying them at all this year.
Thank you so much Lady I really appreciate it especially coming from you. You know I just adore your sense of style. I know Little Master Cognac is getting everything for Christmas and I hope you and your husband have the best Christmas ever!
This was so fun to watch. You are so interesting in every way possible. I loved all your collections of everything. I love to watch videos on the YT of how individuals make their house into a home. I hope you will be showing us your backyard area soon. Thanks for sharing. Many more blessings!
I was just telling hubby that the back needs a good scrubbing. I should have done the power washing today because it is raining and shown you guys this memorial day weekend. Get ya white jeans READY! It's almost SUMMER!
On a Frugalnista watching marathon! I had those villages; I collected those for years. I lost most of it in a fire; the few I was able to save got ruined in the storage facility (((sigh))) such as life. I'm loving every minute of this during the Summer ;-)
AWWW Christmas in July! Thanks for watching...I hate to hear that you lost those items. It's the little things sometimes that make life fun. I really appreciate you watching!
I so enjoyed your tour! I got lost in the video! I love all of the nativities you have around your house! I never thought of putting one on the tree! That is a fab idea! Thank you so much! I am now a subscriber! Merry Christmas and God Bless!!
Your home is decorated beautiful especially the tree. I also love that you kept the burgundy and gold theme throughout the house I just subscribed to your channel this is the first and only video I've watched but I look forward to watching more thankyou
Barbara Koeppe First things first...WELCOME to my channel Barbara! I appreciate you so much for subscribing. Christmas is my favorite time of the year and I just love pulling out all of my decorations every year. Thanks so much for watching!
Hello, my dear Frugalnista! Your friend Gloria in CA. As you know, I find your presence on UTUBE a saving grace for us. The sense of family, tradition, love of God, make you a blessing for us ALL. I would LOVE to see your creations on the pages of Essence, ya know? You totally deserve your own show, say on HGTV! I am writing to request---and waiting for---your 2015 Holiday release! A classy, elegant, beautiful, down home SistahFriend, blessing us with her skills and talent!! Amen to that!
+Gloria Alee Gloria I am touching and AGREEING (virtual that is) on THAT...Wouldn't that be something Frugalnista in the pages of Essence...GURL! I am totally going to use this as inspiration to get my behind in gear for this Christmas season. I haven't put up one single tinsel yet (smile). Hope all is well for you and yours in Cali and thanks so much for watching and motivating me to continue to share on UTUBE.
Awww I remember when I was little my dad's mom would pull out her little Christmas city and I would LOVE going to her house. Appreciate you watching Susan!
Again..Fabulous job..very nice! I loved it all and as always I totally enjoyed watching! :) I just know you are also an excellent cook would love to see you cooking up a few of your favorites if and when you ever have the time! :) Hugs and love..God bless.
+Georgia Ann I'm going to seriously look into at least getting tripod to help with my videos and maybe some sort of lighting. I do love to cook and would love to share with you.
Frugalnista, I absolutely love, love your channel! I was looking for some frugal Christmas decorating ideas and found your channel. Love your home and décor. I have subscribed to you channel. Please keep those wonderful videos coming and don't pay any attention to the peanut gallery with her negative comments. I love your videos! Love to hear my sisters in the Lord not ashamed to proclaim their love for Him!
+Terry d Terry this year has been one of the hardest for me and without my Lord girl I would be in somebody's crazy house...no joke...God as been WAYYYYY to good for me not to praise him...ok now you are going to get me going (smile). Appreciate you watching so much!
Oh girl!! I'm so sorry I'm so late commenting on your video!! We had too many family members passing away during October---- December,just a bad time... And you know I love all your Santas and Angels!!
OMG_ I love your dining table and table scape!!! :) We love the same types of colors and decor....I'm all about the jewel tones with gold or silver accents in our home. Must be a southern thing-Lol. Where do you store all of your Christmas trees and other holiday items? Do you have attics or maybe a storage shed?
arwen944 We have an unfinished basement that was suppose to be my husband domain...BUT us ladies took over that space also. So I store everything down there.
OMG we have so much in common I do 5 trees...I thought I was bad lol...I have each one themed, n my princess has her pink tree in her room too... Love your videos
Viv, are you sure your name isn't Martha ! You know how to style your home for the holidays. I love decorating my home for Christmas too. Of course it will never be as beautiful as yours. I have ornaments that 20+ years old also. Some my grandkids made and can't seem to part with them .
I have another question ....it's about the tree with the train and Cobblestone Village, I can see that it is lit up but how? Are the lights underneath and if so aren't you afraid they will catch fire? I really like how this is done so really want to know how to get the look. Thanks for your help ♥ judy
Absolutely stunning. Thank you for sharing I don't know if this is to personal but if not can you share your story if having your girls. My husband and I are going through this now I would love to hear your story
Thank you Moz, not personal at all actually a great testament to share. We were challenge to have a child to start with then to find out that I was pregnant at 40. I am proof that God is still in charge and there is nothing we can do about it. I will share in a video soon. Until then I pray that my Father in Heaven grant you and your husband the desires of your heart.
Jan, I've been peeking in my favorite stores trash...yep trash (smile). They toss out tons of stuff especially this time of the year. Appreciate you so much for watching!
I just found your channel. Where have I been??!! You have been so blessed with such a beautiful home and a talent for decorating it. I am in awe! I wanted to ask you a question about the village under the tree. Do the houses light up ( like Dickens village) or do you have a strand of lights under the "snow"? It's so beautiful. Are they all Cobblestone? Boy would I love to dumpster dive with you! Great finds. May I ask when is the best time to start looking for things like the trees......like how long after Christmas? TFS ♥ judy Off to watch more videos!!
judithapoulos It's almost time, if you are looking for Christmas items I would take a stroll on the inside first. Places like Michaels sometimes try and clear out using the $2 grab bags so if you still see the grab bags in the stores and they are plentiful?...they will be tossing them any day now. Same goes for Home Goods, Marshalls and TJ MAXX take a peek inside and if they still have TONS of holiday décor on the shelves they will be clearing out shelves soon. Thank you so much for watching!
Where did you get the black marry and joseph? The one in front of the mirror. I love them they look sooo stunning. I've been looking everywhere for a black marry Nd Joseph piece
milina9 Marshalls carried those 3 or 4 seasons ago. I grabbed up everyone I saw. It's so rare to find black nativities so if I see them I usually get them. Thanks for watching!
Very pretty..... You are one heck of a bargain hunter! Wow a nativity on the top! Awesome. Can you share how you got that mirror free? how did you get so much free stuff??
italianblonde 1 Thank you so much for watching. A more common term is dumpster diving. I have been finding free stuff for a little over a year now and as you can see stores throw away tons of merchandise...sometimes new merchandise. I appreciate you watching!
This is like a ministry. You know that, don't you? God is using you in so many ways. This gave me hope to look forward to Christmas in a very depressing time. I will overcome. Under the tree in the piano room there are these glowing blob type lights in that village. What is that?
The "globe type lights" are actually a string of Christmas tree lights that I run through out the village to light the houses. The exposed lights are covered with cotton snow which give the appearance of that "globe". The cotton snow also covers up the exposed wire. I know first hand how the hustle and bustle of the Christmas season can be a depressing time. I pray that this years season be a time of joy for you and yours. Thank you so much for watching I really appreciate.
No permission is needed in my area once a store throws an item away. I have found so many items (some new never used) that shouldn't be in the trash in the first place. TFW!
Lynda Tidman Well because I'm a bit of a control freak it take a couple of days. If I would let the girls help It would only take a few hours or so. Thanks for watching.
Hello, your decorations are all so beautiful!! I can't believe how many of them were free/great deals!! How do you get them for free? Do you use coupons for them?
zaragoza zaragoza In my area its legal so no permission is needed to access what stores throw away. You might even find that by asking the stores they would more than likely say no and even destroy the items before throwing them out. Thanks for watching!
Sandy Kropp Sandy a more common term is dumpster diving. I just despise saying it BUT that's how I found these beautiful things. Where I live it's legal and you would be surprised what I have found headed to a landfill. Thanks for watching Sandy!
FRUGALNISTA I thought that might be the case but wasn't sure. I don't know if it's legal here or not but I will have to look into it. I work retail, and my company doesn't put anything into the trash that can be donated. I would love to check out other companies that may not do this and see what I could find too. You really do a great job with the goodies you present on video. You keep me watching. I love decorating for Christmas too, but I don't have as tall trees as you. YET. LOL
I started going to the back of some of my favorite retailers and peeking in their trash. YEP trash, they toss out tons of useable (sometimes NEW) merchandise all of the time. Appreciate you watching Lisa!
+Debbie Bell Debbie it's all about the bottom line and it's just cheaper to throw it away. Sad but true most stores don't want the liability and sending it back the "warehouse" like most stores tell you that they do is a lie from the pit. Where I live it's legal as long as you aren't trespassing. I have been doing this over a year now and I have NEVER had any encounters with a police. If you are doing this correctly it takes seconds to look in and pick up so getting caught doing something that is legal really isn't an issue. Thanks for watching!
Thanks so much Kimberly. My free finds are ALL things that I have rescued from a dumpster. I just peek inside the stores dumpsters where I like to shop and "find" amazing things. I appreciate you watching.
THAT my dear is.....AWESOME!!!!! I have been watching LOTS of your videos and I am impressed with your finds!!!!! I love your personality and you had me in tears with some of your comments on your makeup finds. Your the greatest!!!
myjbrie I know and all I can say is OK😌this was my early days at this and when you are talking without a script ok is a comfy word that gets overused. Please charge it to my head not my heart. I have gotten better at this thing called UA-cam and appreciate you watching and would love if you checked out my newer vids. OK?😉
Wow big applause to you frugalnista!!!
My goodness I am so fascinated !!

How do you get all these "Free"! Items????
This is like a ministry. You know that, don't you? God is using you in so many ways. This gave me hope to look forward to Christmas in a very depressing time. I will overcome. Under the tree in the piano room there are these glowing blob type lights in that village. What is that?
The "globe type lights" are actually a string of Christmas tree lights that I run through out the village to light the houses. The exposed lights are covered with cotton snow which give the appearance of that "globe". The cotton snow also covers up the exposed wire. I know first hand how the hustle and bustle of the Christmas season can be a depressing time. I pray that this years season be a time of joy for you and yours. Thank you so much for watching I really appreciate.
how did you get the elves for free did you just go in and ask them for them
No permission is needed in my area once a store throws an item away. I have found so many items (some new never used) that shouldn't be in the trash in the first place. TFW!
gorgeous, as usual
Appreciate you Watching Rhonda!
beautiful home lovely taste boy how long does it take to dress your home each year ????
Lynda Tidman Well because I'm a bit of a control freak it take a couple of days. If I would let the girls help It would only take a few hours or so. Thanks for watching.
Where did you get the cherry ball candy from?
TheLadyTWells The cherry balls are from Walmart WARNING they are VERY addictive!
They look great. I want to get some from my house this year at Christmas.
Hello, your decorations are all so beautiful!! I can't believe how many of them were free/great deals!! How do you get them for free? Do you use coupons for them?
How do you get all these free items? Do you ask the stores for access?
zaragoza zaragoza In my area its legal so no permission is needed to access what stores throw away. You might even find that by asking the stores they would more than likely say no and even destroy the items before throwing them out. Thanks for watching!
Where do you find all of these free finds? Just wondering? Great Video.
Sandy Kropp Sandy a more common term is dumpster diving. I just despise saying it BUT that's how I found these beautiful things. Where I live it's legal and you would be surprised what I have found headed to a landfill. Thanks for watching Sandy!
FRUGALNISTA I thought that might be the case but wasn't sure. I don't know if it's legal here or not but I will have to look into it. I work retail, and my company doesn't put anything into the trash that can be donated. I would love to check out other companies that may not do this and see what I could find too. You really do a great job with the goodies you present on video. You keep me watching. I love decorating for Christmas too, but I don't have as tall trees as you. YET. LOL
What are free finds
Items that I have rescued from retailer's trash.
How do you get stuff for free?
I started going to the back of some of my favorite retailers and peeking in their trash. YEP trash, they toss out tons of useable (sometimes NEW) merchandise all of the time. Appreciate you watching Lisa!
Why do stores throw things away? And is it ok to look in a dumpster? And don't they call the police?
+Debbie Bell Debbie it's all about the bottom line and it's just cheaper to throw it away. Sad but true most stores don't want the liability and sending it back the "warehouse" like most stores tell you that they do is a lie from the pit. Where I live it's legal as long as you aren't trespassing. I have been doing this over a year now and I have NEVER had any encounters with a police. If you are doing this correctly it takes seconds to look in and pick up so getting caught doing something that is legal really isn't an issue. Thanks for watching!
