With so much husband-bashing going on today, it was refreshing to hear you speak so highly of your husband. My husband encourages my constant decor changes, thrift stores jaunts, and crafting ventures so I’m with you. I agree, that frame was stunning! Great thrifts and upcycles!
Unfortunately I didn’t break mine in right. He lived with his parents until he was 30 so his mother had him by the apron strings. We’re in our 70’s now and he’s still pretty set in his ways.
Happy Anniversary to you both! I lost my husband 2 1/2 years ago after 41 years together, I always say he was my greatest find and my greatest treasure❤
Dear Cherry. As I am German I can tell you about the small book that you found. Yes it is German, written in a very old scriptart. The first page at 1:19 says: "Christ - our salvation - complete prayer book for Catholics" I also love old books. You have made a great find! ❤ Greetings from Germany, 😊
@@CanterburyCottageI bought an old bible from 1870 last year. It is a very much used piece. I love to imagine how many people have read in it an found peace with it (although I am not religious). But it even existed during the war Germany against France that ended in 1871 and in World War I and II. It is so special to me to have such an old piece.
@@CanterburyCottage I thought it might be Catholic, but I wasn't sure. We found older religious books in my in-laws house when they passed away. I really treasure them.
We just love the “husband” stories and how he spoils you, so moving the fireplace seems just right! I am sure you sometimes think about the piece you left behind, I once passed up an Art Nouveau type fairy figure lamp base! Your video brought it to mind! I also had my all time favorite lamp broken at a family party, they bought a beautiful cut glass one to replace it! I couldn’t tell them I didn’t want it, but lived with it for a few years! Blessed days!
Hi. The book is a collection of prayers and devotions to the Holy Heart of Christ. The Name of the book is "Christ our Lord". It is written in Einsiedeln a place in Switzerland with a very important Benedictine Monastery. Greatings from Germany. I love your videos and as you pronounce so clearly, they help to improve my englisch.
Sherry, just adding some text to what gatonielba4900 wrote. It says "Vollständiges Gebetbuch für Katholiken" meaning "Complete prayer book for Catholics". More kind regards from Germany!
I love the Dictionary picture and everything else too. You are lucky that your husband supports your art, he must be so proud of your internet success! Mine supports my art too, we are having our 50th anniversary soon.
I realize not all husbands encourage their wives to decorate how they want to, but mine is a gem. He does like "functional" pieces on the counters so i accommodate his needs but it looks pretty too. I love your vintage dog; it reminds me of my dad's collection which i loved. Blessings Jenny
You would love the US 12 garage sales that are held every year in Michigan at the beginning of Aug it’s 200 miles of sales. I find antiques, vintage, brass for great prices, ppl travel from all over to set up their wares along with the home owners. A lot of ppl rent out their yards/spaces for them. Literally sales everywhere. I have a fantastic husband too & he takes off work on a Friday (when they officially start & goes thru to Sunday) to drive me around. He’s a trooper going to antique stores, estate sales, garage sales with me. But then I do the things he likes too which is getting out in our Ford Bronco & hitting up the trails. It’s give & take 😊 loved everything you found you have a great eye!
Love your videos. I got married in 1986 and started collecting Blue Willow. You could buy them in the grocery store for good prices. Yard sales were even cheaper. I have quite the collection now!
Hello Debbie! I got married in 1987. I had a wedding dress with a big bow on the butt-so 80’s! I did not know that Blue Willow was sold in grocery stores. I’m sure your collection is quite valuable today!
I would love to go on a shopping trip with you!! I live in Chicagoland as well and it would be great to have a group trip - I bet other viewers would come. TFS!!
I keep pictures of my collections on my cell phone so that when I come across a piece in a shop I can quickly check to see whether or not I already own it. You might want to try this with some of your books - I know you have sooo many! I really appreciate the finishing details on your DIYs such as the back of today's picture frame. I love the vignettes you create! Your husband is very thoughtful! S.
That last random brass light bottom, buy or thrift Christmas tree greens and stand them in the hole so the brass item ends up looking like a tree stand. Target often has these greens in the dollar section over Christmas and it's just in a cheap container that you can easily pull off he bottom
That is an early Cavaliers King Charles Spaniel ….I bred them for 25 years! I have the same print and collect the Staffordshire Spaniels …mostly from England. I adore them! You are so talented and always inspire me! ❤️
I too love clocks and have one in every room, including garage, basement, deck, and on our oak tree for people driving by to check the time. Never miss your inspiring videos, thank you 😊
I have always loved the Fragonard painting, The Swing, despite it's scandalous story. What a nice gift from your husband. My parents and my aunt and uncle had that same vintage sewing/magazine basket. I remember an eagle was attached to it. Those kinds of "early Americana" items along with pewter and primitive ware were popular during the 1976 Bicentennial. It is all showing a resurgence again, as we draw closer to the Semiquincentennial in 2026.
Hello, Jacqueline! Mine has the “shadow” where the eagle was once attached-someone must have removed it. As a little girl, I remember what a huge deal the bicentennial was. I don’t know the story behind “The Swing,” but I will be looking it up right now!
I would purchase a lot of things that you do in the thirty shop. But there is no way I in vision the end product you come up with I truly enjoy and look forward to your creations. God bless you
What a dear husband.❤️ What deals on the books. I'm particularly fond of the religious book. It's lovely. The dictionary cover in that pretty vintage frame is perfect in your plaid room.
Woo hoo I love shopping when someone else is spending their money! Lol i love how you have been changing up the videos lately. Room makeovers, craft projects, shopping trips ect ect. Thank you for your video. i agree about the candelabra salt and pepper. Never ever seen that before. I would drive back just to get it. Husband is so wise. he knows exactly what you like! Many beautiful blessings to you Sherry!!
I’m watching you talk about your broken plate while you’re doing something with the replacement and GASP! I’m glad you could get the new one fixed and hung.
I couldn’t believe it! We have stone floors in the kitchen and dining room, so everything that drops usually breaks. I feel like that plate wouldn’t have broken on a wood floor.
This is one of my favorites you have done so far. I think the book cover looks perfect on your plaid wall. Love everything else too. I always look forward to your videos.
The lovely framed print your husband got you is from the painting “The Swing” by the French Rococo artist Fragonard. The lady and dog print is from the painting “Lady Hamilton as Nature” by George Romney and is in the Frick Museum collection in NYC. Beautiful, and art historically significant acquisitions!
Good afternoon, Bobbie! We made a trip to Galena, so I overspent! But, we sure had fun, and the weather was great. Last year when we went it was SO hot.
The book cover and print love it ,I have a vintage paint by numbers in a frame similar to that frame .It was left by the previous owners in our previous house .
What a sweet and attentive hubby you have! The picture is stunning. I was thinking about your wooden sewing box/magazine holder with three legs that maybe it just needs dully down a little. I think the golden banding is quite bright and modern looking compared to the dark wood. Maybe some general scruffing up of the whole piece would be enough, rather than fully painting it? Every time I catch a glimpse of your fireplace tiles, my heart sings! Still can't believe the images are just decoupaged on. Fabulous!
Hello, Sherry, thanks for another great video. I understand about the dropped plate, that is the kind of thing that seems to happen to me too. Loved the Oliver Twist container, and the voice saying, "may I have some more please?" LOL Your home is filled with so many beautiful things. Have a great week.
That anniversary print is so beautiful! I love that your husband appreciates the same things you do. My hubs is the same. He even collects his own things. Great video! 🤍
My heart sank when you dropped the Dutch plate. I have a fondness for that kind of plate, my first one was actually accidental. Long story short, I was in the Army stationed in Germany, I took a trip to Holland, and I did buy a plate for a family member, but on our way home the tour guide had a beautiful floral trimmed plate with the typical windmill scene, she said it was to be a prize for whoever had the right answer to her question. The question was, what color is yaks milk, everyone had exhausted the answers, and the guy beside me said no one said pink, so I said pink and won the plate, I have had it since 1982. I guess the lesson learned for you is always put the hanger on the plate over a table, also when you glue it, with hands on both sides apply some pressure for a minute or two, then the crack will be even less noticeable, I have had a few accidents myself.
That’s a fun story, and who knew yak milk is pink! It doesn’t help that I have stone floors, so if something drops, it always breaks! (I actually did put pressure on both sides of the plate while the glue dried; it was off camera though.)
I called out loud; 'Oh nooo! 😐 And came to the comments with the same exact advise...doing jobs like these while sitting down at a table. Because of my MS I was dropping all kinds of things and am trying to become more careful✌🏻😏.
Oh! I truly enjoyed today’s video. It is always great to get a peek into the way your creativity works! The little brass angel is so lovely and the artwork in that unique heavy wood frame is great. Every project is magnificent though. 🧡
Happy Anniversary! What a lovely and thoughtful gift! I loved seeing all of your great finds. We have a small antique shop in our community that has a really great variety of things at super prices. It's always a treat just to browse. They have someone that stages each room and has an incredible eye for decorating. Even if I walk out the door with three vintage Bingo cards, I am thrilled! The way they had them displayed on a mantle with fall items and white pumpkins was stunning! Your videos inspire me the same way. 😊
Great video!! You hit the jackpot at the thrift stores and the antiques markets… I also have a love of anything Lincoln and Civil War history… My husband thinks I’m a bit obsessed… lol I also appreciate anyone who uses the word, vivarium… That book cover idea was genius!!
Such a beautiful Anniversary gift. Your Hubby is so thoughtful. The book cover in the frame is so pretty. All your projects came out so pretty. Love your Thrift Store finds and make overs. Thank you
What a wonderful video -- thank you for sharing your finds and inspiration with us. Your husband sounds like a very thoughtful, kind person. It's so nice that you included your appreciation of him in your video! ❤
I loved your video today 💗 emphasis on vintage frames and prints. For your mystery metal piece- if you found a straightwall glass hurricane shade, use it as a "lid" add an old glass knob at the top....You've made a unique cloche!!
I can always count on you for inspiration. I too love vintage n antiques. My antiques are usually furniture. Happy anniversary Sherry. I love the picture your husband got you n the frame is gorgeous, all that detail in it. I also liked how you did over the red leather one. That frame was perfect for it n adding the black velvet ribbon brought it all together. Enjoyed everything you shared n inspired me. ♥️♥️♥️😊👍👍👍👍🌟
Belated Happy Anniversary wishes! I’m so happy you found treasures and that your Husband is so sweet to you and thoughtful! You bring happiness to us, faithfully- and I am one of the many followers that sends virtual hugs. You are loved and admired. Thank you-
Thank you, Lydia! My husband is a sweetie. He frequently takes me to out of town antique stores. He doesn’t really enjoy it, but he always finds something to do while I shop (AND he doesn’t rush me).
Loved your "Antiques & Next Item Showing" to move your video along! And the fumble 😮...Oops! Glue to the rescue! I love boxes too. They are definitely prettier than generic plastic. Happy Anniversary to you & your husband! Yes, he did good on your present.😊
Oh what a wonderful husband!!!!! I love love love the antique framed picture your husband bought you!!!!! This video was packed with great awesomeness ideas. Oh how I will borrow your idea of the framed book cover
Love to see your creativity and how you seem to know just where a new item should go in your home! Makes me want to thrifting for some interesting finds!
Happy Anniversary. And it's nice to hear you give praise for your husband. The last piece from a lamp could maybe be used as a lid on a clear glass vase with a nob attached to the top. I'm glad you were able to fix the blue plate. Yikes on those slippery items.
I’m so sorry about your plate Sherry!! I’ve had something similar happen to me. Well, as far as a broken plate. No lie, this happened to me. I had a beautiful set of Native American plates hung on my wall. My son who was three had a new friend over and they got a ball and right after I said, “don’t kick that in the house you might break my plates.” That’s exactly what happened!! It’s a terrible feeling. But you were right, you can barely tell. I enjoyed the video. I too like wooden boxes. Have a few myself. See ya next time. ❤️💜💚
Happy, happy anniversary!!! Our next one will be 54 years! I never even thought I would live that long, let alone be married to the same man that long!!! LOL!!! I love the frame and picture he got you! I love ornate frames too. I ran across a green ceramic shelf clock years ago. I got it because it is green! No, it doesn't work...but the color. I keep telling my husband that he needs to gut it, it has that wiring from the 1940s, so I can upscale it.....I can just see a tiny nest with a sweet little birdie sitting half in and half out......kudos to you for sparking that thought!!!
Currently, I have a couple of tables & clocks I need to re- do. You're such an inspiration! & I love the dioramas I can't wait until I retire in a few years so I can do this all I want! ❤
Oh Sherry what a sweet and thoughtful husband you have! That frame and picture are amazing and looks great in your home and I love the one on the wallpaper as well so I am glad you didn;t sell it. You really did find some great treasures!
Happy Anniversary and what a lovely gift your husband gave to you! What amazing finds! I love thrift shopping. I would have kept that vintage book frame too. It looks amazing against your plaid wallpaper. I love that you embrace color.
That was very lovely of your husband to get you that framed art! Im so happy you found such a wonderful man!! I think you could use that metal piece as the bottom underneath a cloche. Or perhaps, used with a clock?? Love your channel & fabulous ideas!!
I thought you might make a unique clock face out of that antique metal round. I just love watching your creativity ❤ Happy anniversary to the two of you❤
I love the book cover you put in the frame. And the picture you put on top of it made it look so much better. My husband collects old books. He likes to find first editions. But I live in a small house. And I’ve run out of room for things sitting places. So now I try to buy things I can hang on my walls. We have lived here four years and I don’t have anything hanging on any of the bedroom walls. I do have a picture my husband bought at an estate sale to hang in our bedroom. I just can’t decide where I want to put it. I want to rearrange my bedroom first. My husband just gave me an old box he got from Goodwill, I think. It’s sitting on my coffee table in my living room. I’m not sure if it will stay there. But it’s there for now. We go to an antique mall near our house. We haven’t been for a while. But I will get there soon. I bought a green box that says Kingston Coffee on it. The city I live in is Kingston. And it was on sale so I got a great deal too.
I would definitely paint the plant stand/magazine rack. It’s adorable, but dated with the dark stain and bright gold banding. It would be beautiful stripped with oven cleaner and made natural and then clear wax it. Hand paint the banding a rusty patina. Copper rub and buff is beautiful
With so much husband-bashing going on today, it was refreshing to hear you speak so highly of your husband. My husband encourages my constant decor changes, thrift stores jaunts, and crafting ventures so I’m with you. I agree, that frame was stunning! Great thrifts and upcycles!
Thank you, Mina! We both have great hubbies who support our passions. Mine always finds something to do while I browse around stores.
Unfortunately I didn’t break mine in right. He lived with his parents until he was 30 so his mother had him by the apron strings. We’re in our 70’s now and he’s still pretty set in his ways.
That's coz the good guys get good feedback... the others ?... meh...😅
Great finds, Sherry! I, too, have The Lincoln Libary. It belonged to my parents. 😊
My husband complains about everything I do because he doesn’t like change which is pretty common in men, but he gets over pretty quickly
Happy Anniversary to you both! I lost my husband 2 1/2 years ago after 41 years together, I always say he was my greatest find and my greatest treasure❤

Happy anniversary!! You are fortunate to have such a wonderful husband. I especially liked what you did to the little shelf. Happy thrifting!
Thank you so much!
I can always count on you for inspiration. I too love vintage n antiques. My antiques are usually furniture.
Happy anniversary Sherry. I love the picture your husband got you n the frame is gorgeous, all that detail in it. I also liked how you did over the red leather one. That frame was perfect for it n adding the black velvet ribbon brought it all together. Enjoyed everything you shared n inspired me. ♥️♥️♥️😊👍👍👍👍🌟
Your husband is so thoughtful! ❤️ I think like the vintage sewing basket looks great as is.
Belated Happy Anniversary wishes! I’m so happy you found treasures and that your Husband is so sweet to you and thoughtful! You bring happiness to us, faithfully- and I am one of the many followers that sends virtual hugs. You are loved and admired. Thank you-
Thank you, Lydia! My husband is a sweetie. He frequently takes me to out of town antique stores. He doesn’t really enjoy it, but he always finds something to do while I shop (AND he doesn’t rush me).
Loved your "Antiques & Next Item Showing" to move your video along! And the fumble 😮...Oops! Glue to the rescue!
I love boxes too. They are definitely prettier than generic plastic.
Happy Anniversary to you & your husband! Yes, he did good on your present.😊
Soooooo much fun!!! Thank you for sharing, and I agree, it's wonderful to have thoughtful husbands.....mine's the same.
Hi, Sherry, you' re right, this little book is a german catholic prayer book. Wunderschöne alte Bücher 📚 ❤ I love your channel. Greetings from Germany
I use my vintage loaf pan collection in my sewing room to hold my quilt pieces and vintage egg cups to hold beads.
Oh what a wonderful husband!!!!! I love love love the antique framed picture your husband bought you!!!!! This video was packed with great awesomeness ideas. Oh how I will borrow your idea of the framed book cover
Love to see your creativity and how you seem to know just where a new item should go in your home! Makes me want to thrifting for some interesting finds!
Thank you! Hope you find some vintage gold! 😊
Happy Anniversary. And it's nice to hear you give praise for your husband. The last piece from a lamp could maybe be used as a lid on a clear glass vase with a nob attached to the top. I'm glad you were able to fix the blue plate. Yikes on those slippery items.
I’m so sorry about your plate Sherry!! I’ve had something similar happen to me. Well, as far as a broken plate. No lie, this happened to me. I had a beautiful set of Native American plates hung on my wall. My son who was three had a new friend over and they got a ball and right after I said, “don’t kick that in the house you might break my plates.” That’s exactly what happened!! It’s a terrible feeling. But you were right, you can barely tell. I enjoyed the video. I too like wooden boxes. Have a few myself. See ya next time.
❤️💜💚
Happy, happy anniversary!!! Our next one will be 54 years! I never even thought I would live that long, let alone be married to the same man that long!!! LOL!!! I love the frame and picture he got you! I love ornate frames too. I ran across a green ceramic shelf clock years ago. I got it because it is green! No, it doesn't work...but the color. I keep telling my husband that he needs to gut it, it has that wiring from the 1940s, so I can upscale it.....I can just see a tiny nest with a sweet little birdie sitting half in and half out......kudos to you for sparking that thought!!!
Thank you, Sharon! Congratulations on 54 years! That is amazing! Yes, you need to gut your beautiful clock and make it even more beautiful!
Happy Anniversary! I love your finds. You always decorate or repurpose beautifully! TYFS! 😊❤️
I was so thrilled thinking you'd use the type etc on the front of the odd book cover as the picture... then you glued a postcard over!! Crying 😢 ....
I thought the same thing. I would have framed it as is and put it by the desk. But I loved how Sherry transformed it as well.
Currently, I have a couple of tables & clocks I need to re- do. You're such an inspiration! & I love the dioramas I can't wait until I retire in a few years so I can do this all I want! ❤
Oh Sherry what a sweet and thoughtful husband you have! That frame and picture are amazing and looks great in your home and I love the one on the wallpaper as well so I am glad you didn;t sell it. You really did find some great treasures!
Happy Anniversary and what a lovely gift your husband gave to you! What amazing finds! I love thrift shopping. I would have kept that vintage book frame too. It looks amazing against your plaid wallpaper. I love that you embrace color.
Thank you so much, Katherine!😊
What a thoughtful husband you have. You had some amazing finds and I love how you styled them. ❤
Thank you so much! (I do have a thoughtful hubby! 😊)
Love vintage finds at thrift stores.
Love the pic you did with the book cover...so excellent. Love your videos...they make me smile.
Thank you so much, Debbie!
That was very lovely of your husband to get you that framed art! Im so happy you found such a wonderful man!!
I think you could use that metal piece as the bottom underneath a cloche. Or perhaps, used with a clock??
Love your channel & fabulous ideas!!
Thank you, Melinda! That metal piece would look nice under a cloche!
Truly love and look forward to your videos
You Mondays fun!
I thought you might make a unique clock face out of that antique metal round. I just love watching your creativity ❤ Happy anniversary to the two of you❤
Oh what fun!! I'm headed out to my fave thrift store today!
I love the book cover you put in the frame. And the picture you put on top of it made it look so much better. My husband collects old books. He likes to find first editions. But I live in a small house. And I’ve run out of room for things sitting places. So now I try to buy things I can hang on my walls. We have lived here four years and I don’t have anything hanging on any of the bedroom walls. I do have a picture my husband bought at an estate sale to hang in our bedroom. I just can’t decide where I want to put it. I want to rearrange my bedroom first. My husband just gave me an old box he got from Goodwill, I think. It’s sitting on my coffee table in my living room. I’m not sure if it will stay there. But it’s there for now. We go to an antique mall near our house. We haven’t been for a while. But I will get there soon. I bought a green box that says Kingston Coffee on it. The city I live in is Kingston. And it was on sale so I got a great deal too.
The lamp piece would be pretty as a lid for a cylinder vase and used maybe in the bathroom.
You found some great pieces!! Those anniversary gifts are surely thoughtful ❤❤
Thank you, Margaret! 😊
Sherry, I adore the top/dress you are wearing in the intro. xx
Oh, thank you! It is a dress that I bought at Goodwill (with the tags still attached).
I would definitely paint the plant stand/magazine rack. It’s adorable, but dated with the dark stain and bright gold banding. It would be beautiful stripped with oven cleaner and made natural and then clear wax it. Hand paint the banding a rusty patina. Copper rub and buff is beautiful
You did awesome...beautiful taste and talent you have
