    Good evening! I will ask about the star. And i really enjoyed the video. I can feel your happiness when you touch things. It's so natural and so rare when people genuinely enjoy things around them. Thank you for letting us into your home. May it be a very happy one!
    A dryer would probably kill anything on the fabric. High quality curtains, very well made and beautiful. Don't know you past, and not going to ask, but it's so comforting to hear happiness in your voice.

      @janedow5366 Thank you very much, I am so glad you enjoyed my video! Last year was the first tree I put up here in my trailer. I bought it from the dollar store. I did not have many ornaments last year and really wanted a star on top of the tree. So I took the liner that you pull off of a coffee container since it was "shiney" and made the star! I like homemade items and ideas. Creativity brings me a lot of joy. I've collected the bulbs all from the thrift store throughout the year and it's brought the tree to life! The curtains were an amazing find for me and I feel very blessed to have gotten them (and on sale!)

    Beautiful curtains. You can snip a small amount of fabric that doesn’t show and do the burn test. If it melts it’s synthetic, if it burns it’s a natural fiber

Shopping at the food pantry has upgraded my food options and allowed me to eat very well! There are a lot of beautiful baked goods to choose from and I do get those items along with a lot of veggies, I just try to balance it out so I can still achieve my health goals.

    The curtain hooks...... feel them thoroughly with your fingertips, carefully. I think they are hooked in, so sharp point. It would be pointing up. It should be a 'u', with a hooking lip to go over the rod.
    If there is a Joann fabrics near you, might take one in to find out the fabric.
    Cleaning, if spots. Would use a VERY diluted laundry soap for delicates, and sponge it

    To tell if it is silk, rub it between your hands and if it continues to grow warmer and retains the heat for a spell, it is silk. If it gets a bit warmer but not hotter, it may be a silk blend. It looks like silk.

    Wearing it but then I use a bag to wash it in? Just a thought to save you a little money from the cleaners, great video! ❤🎉 btw the Christmas tree turned out beautifully! And your decorations too, I love how you pick them out in thrift store!!❤

      @jennifermunn6898 That's a good idea, if I could get a big enough bag to put the curtains in. Someone recommended spot cleaning the curtains with a sponge because of the delicate material. I don't wanna mess them up in any way! Step one for me is to finish quarantine in my car in case there's anything attached, just need a few freezing nights. Thank you, I love my little tree to match my little trailer. I was not sure how it would turn out with the new-to-me decorations but really love it! Thrift store decorations are wonderful.
