    Susan I just can never resist buttons if they’re cheap. There’s just so many things you can do with them. The lamp is great. Spring Farms channel is great and she is just so sweet. Have a great day. Love and blessings ❤️❤️❤️

    I realize that finding something to do each day to film has got to be a challenge. But you are absolutely getting me through January blues. I look forward to the videos each day. My bright spot as you check the days off of January !! Thank you!!
    You don’t even know how much you’ve helped with the winter time blahs of a very cold and snowy January❤….

    This was fun. I need to get back to crafting. I retired about 3 years ago and started back cross stitching. Christmas cross stitch. I love it. More fun to me now than in the 80's and 90's because I have more time.

    Oh dear me!!!! You can never have enough buttons !!! I have a beautiful ginger jar that is full of buttons ! Buttons in your mason jars will be cute ! When I was little , my grandma would her me dump her collection on a cookie sheet and I would play and touch and enjoy them ! ❤ I’m with you… I love a jar of buttons - such interest !
    Lol your mind is so fun to watch when an idea 💡 hits🎉
    Congrats on no spend so far !
    Good advise - going thru your things you don’t see …
    And “ it’s time for someone else to enjoy these things , and it’s not me !”
    You are a planner and scheduler … I too like to have a plan of what I’m doing .
    Ooo jar lamp is pretty and cool shape!
    The wedding gift 💝
    Oooooo your holly material is sooooo pretty !
    lol I’m a fabric hoarder too !
    Love your bolster idea …pillow for bed !
    The toile and other print fabrics is so pretty too

    Your ❤️ will look so darling too !
    As always … a relaxing and fun time with you !
    God bless you friend ! You go girl ! Keep up the organizing !❤

    On the mason jar lids you could cover the lids with fabric and put poly fill in it and then you can put fabric pins in them and set them by your sewing machine and in your laundry room ❤❤

    Oh MY GOSH!! 🤣 THANK YOU!!
    FIRST, let me tell you about today. I multi tasked ALL DAY. This morning after running errands my car WOULD NOT make it up the driveway because of the ICE... after days of sunshine, 53° rain all last night... After talking to 'My Thrifted Home' about you and your 'No Spend January' ALL I could think of was I'm gonna be stuck here for over a week if I don't get this ice off!! I spent 1 hour scraping 🧊 ice, boiling water (and pouring it outside!) and sprinkling salt and throwing Cat litter all over the driveway thinking "I'm gonna have a no spend January too!!" 🤣🤣🥰 So I get my dinner tonight and there is your thumbnail for tonight's video! 🤣😂🤣😂
    I thought "oh my!! Poor Susan!!" 😆 And I take a bite of food and look back down and you mentioned my channel!!! Oh my gosh!!!!! You are so sweet! THEN, you put the buttons in the sink and I said, "God, please make sure she has the drain stopper!" And bam!! You said "don't worry, I have a drain stopper...!" Girl you crack me up!!! A sweet gift from God to so many! Thank you! Love all your projects! I'm humbled 🥰❤️🌷🤗

I’m going to use it for that but also for Valentine suckers. Thank you for just being you and welcoming us into your beautiful home.

    A while back I put buttons in blue pint jars. I keep white buttons from blue work shirts in a separate jar. Love the button lamp! And the pretty fabric toppers & hearts.
    I'm TRYING to downsize my stuff. I have boys & they don't want my "junque!
    Love your videos.

    Now you showed the jar lamp and then all of a sudden I realized oh my God I have one but I don't know where it's at. So I must have packed it away and it must be in that closet somewhere in one of the bins. And this is what happens when I watch you you pull out stuff and then I say to myself oh I have one of them but I don't know where it's at, and then I think should I go rooting for it which opens up a whole can of worms

    • @theoldsonso
      @theoldsonso  12 днів тому +1

      There is so many times that I have packed items away and totally have forgotten where they were and that I had them. I think that is the reason why I am going through the whole house and uncluttering every nook and cranny that I can.. thank you so much for watching us so appreciate it!! 😃

      I made a button jar lamp 30 years ago. I love and collect buttons. When you really get bored, you can sort them by color ,type or age ! And you won't spend a penny ❤I have a lot of my sorted buttons in jars, take of the flat top, cut homespun squares or use pinking shears to cut circles, place on jar and screw the ring on.They get air through the top.Buttons can go bad, they melt and some get a smell like alcohol ! BAD. 😮
