Fun visit, travels, finds and decor! Your exploration of the early history of firefighting in the US was fascinating. It reminded me that if you and Eric get to the city of Hudson, NY (a renowned antiques haven in the Hudson Valley!), the Firefighters Association of the State of New York Museum of Firefighting also is located there and is the largest of its kind in the world! I also loved seeing your transition from Halloween to Thanksgiving decor - lovely brown-and-white transferware and the Johnson Brothers Old British Castles pieces were a great buy! The turkey platter and dinner plate were so pretty - I can't resist the turkey or pheasant motif on those types of items. As it's my favorite holiday of the year, I also have a few vintage Thanksgiving post cards that I bring out as part of my holiday decor. As always, thanks for taking us along!
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! We've been to the Hudson Valley before, but only as a day trip. We'd love to go again and stay a few days - there's so much to see and do there!
Happy Birthday to you and your family members. My birthday is Nov. 20th. I will be 71. Love watching your videos. Lots of interesting finds. Love the history info. Growing up I lived in a 1700’s old colonial. The fireplace in the kitchen was hugh.
Happy almost Birthday to you! I'm so glad you enjoy the videos. You were lucky to grow up in an old and interesting house - especially with a huge hearth like the one you described!
Loved this shopping, decorating and history lesson. Things that we hold on to like your turkey platter, mom and grandmother's gifts and memories in my opinion is what makes our homes warm and lovely.
Your thistle decorated tea cup inspired me to get a thistle decorated mug! My great great grandmother came from Scotland. She was a member of the clan Riddell, which is also my youngest brothers first name happy Thanksgiving.!
Happy belated birthday wishes! We have a week like that in October. I’m the 10th, hubby is 16th, oldest son is the 15th. As you are aware, always a crazy week. Love the history lesson. Keep them coming. American history is my jam. Great looking thanksgiving switch up. The postcards are a sweet addition. And oh those mischievous kitties! So cute, I’m sure it saves them, just like my Junebug. 🤷🏻♀️😂🐾🐾
Hope you had a nice birthday 🎂 🎉 You are so cheery and uplifting I thoroughly enjoy your videos. I love the brown transferware in your kitchen. I wish I had the room to start collecting it. It looks addictive. 😊
A Belated Very Happy Birthday, Kris! A lovely video as usual and I loved all the finds and the history lesson…. You have a great eye for decorating your home!❤😊
Happy birthday!! Hope you had a great one! Love your Thanksgiving decor with browns and creams and copper. It's a very calming combination after the brigher colors of fall, and a nice break before the Christmas decor comes out.
Thank you for reminding me I have a Turkey dinner plate I forgot all about. So went down to my treasure trove and brought him up to put on my hutch. It was a cheap plate I found at a thrift store awhile ago but it definitely is vintage, made by Hampton. I think this is a USA Co but couldn’t find out much about the co. Probably from the 1950’s.
I'm so glad you enjoy my videos! I will definitely show you the booth once I get in there! I'm very busy organizing and arranging it in my head right now!
Wow!! My birthday is November 8th too!!!! I enjoy watching your channel very much!!! I especially enjoy your collections of Victorian books and tole trays😊
I so loved the decorating of your spaces. Everything is beautiful! You have such a skill of putting beautiful things together to create an inviting environment. Happy belated birthday.
❤ Chris. Happy belated birthsay. I hope you had a wonderful time at the grizz. I love that place last time I went, which was a while back sat by the fireplace and was so fantastic. I think we went there on St. Patrick's Day. Come to think of it and they had an Irish band and it was wonderful or a thief. Oh yeah. It was great loved. You're things that you got? At the Newington place. Ed all your things are lovely. I've started so many times going through your eBay store and I just get lost in the wonder of it all. So I've got to buckle down and pay more attention. I hope your family has A. Wonderful gratitude, filled Thanksgiving and and that you stay warm and healthy. Mary. Ari❤
Thank you for the Birthday wishes! We're big fans of the Griswold Inn - so many fabulous antiques! (And also the food!) I hope you and your family enjoy Thanksgiving as well - it's almost here!
🍂🎶🎂🍂HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY to you! 🍂🎂🍁 🧡when you share historical information about items. I always was looking for the unusual myself over the years. I found it intriguing. I managed to find four of the pink J Bros castle salad plates. They are newer. I use them everyday. Plus I own a different set of pink by J Bros. which is from the 1960’s. Called Millstream. Found at our local thrift store when it was easier to find things. Now everybody is out there looking for a deal and it is much harder to find quality things.
Thank you for the Birthday wishes! You're lucky to have some castle plates - they're so pretty! I'll have to look up Millstream - I'm not familiar with that one.
Happy Belated Birthday, I hope you enjoyed your special day. My birthday is in November, I’m celebrating all next week, lunch with my friends and dinner with my nephew and his wife. Hey, I stretch it out as long as possible. LOL 😂 I have a set of Britain’s Old Castles, I just love 💕 how the various pieces depict different castles, this pattern is very popular, those will not last long in your store, great find. You know what’s pretty, mix those with the Liberty Blue China for 4th of July, it’s a beautiful tablescape. That is great that your friend gave you the beautiful green vases, I gave some of my Mom’s things to close friends, most were collects like me and I knew they would appreciate the gift. Your Fall cabinet is awesome, brown transferware with the copper, and those corn candles. The brown transferware without the lid may have been a biscuit jar, but even without the lid you can use it in so many other ways.
I hope you have a fabulous Birthday week - you should make it a Birthday MONTH! Red and white with blue and white is definitely a recipe for success - I love it!
Happy Belated Birthday, Chris 🎉❤ I hope & Eric enjoyed a great birthday dinner! I loved the history lesson regarding the cast iron item & then I LOVED the Woolworth's book - how amazing!! Your home is beautiful as always! Everytime I see your brown-themed plate settings, I love them even more. Have a wonderful weekend ~~Jeri
Many thanks for taking me along. Your channel is a wonderful escape. I am also drawn to bone china . The tea cups & saucers were great finds. Enjoy! The price was right. Love seeing your treasures displayed in your home. Take care.
Hi Kris, Happy belated Birthday!! Hope you and Eric had a great dinner out! I'm really liking the hutch. You have a great eye for color and design. Very nice!! Have a great weekend. Deb
My Dad was on the USS Delta AR-9 and I remember him having a plaque on the wall with their logo/shield. If he was still alive, he might have been interested in that.
Oh I collect the red and white transferware. I just love it and it’s very hard to find here in Savannah, Tn were I live. ❤ Nice haul Kris. You have a wonderful skill in interior design. 😊 All of your fall decor is beautifully put together. 😊
I have another really good red and white transferware haul coming up in the next week of two, so stay tuned! I absolutely love it - you're luck to have a collection!
I love where you put your Trick or Treat bowl! It looked perfect on top of your hutch. I’m glad it added a little something special to your Halloween decor! 🎃 Thank you so much for sharing! ❤ Your hutch looks so elegant with the Thanksgiving decor. The colors are so great together. You give me so many new ideas. I also love the idea of the holiday postcards as an added touch too. If you have any postcards left from the ones you recently picked up I would be glad to purchase. I’m glad you had such a great birthday as well! 🎈
Hi Dawn! The Santa postcards are claimed, but I have some others - let me know what you're interested in. I loved the bowl - I also really liked the ghost, but I had to hide him - Indy and Iris kept trying to grab the strings!
Oh too funny about Indie and Iris! I didn’t think of that. Mine used to get into stuff like that as well, wreaths too!! Oh and the Christmas tree! Yikes! I will take a look at the pic and message you. I’m not picky at all! Thanks so much!
Happy birthday 🎉my birthday is Nov 9!! Now i know why i enjoy all you do !! Love the green vases !! Question ? What day do you usually thrift at goodwill? Your stores have so much stock ! Love the thanksgiving hutch decor
Hi Laura! Happy Belated Birthday! I thrift all different days, and for the last three months or so, I've been focused more on estate sales, tag sales and flea markets on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Now that it's getting colder out, I'll spend more time at Goodwill and probably go on the weekdays.
Happy Birthday Kris! I enjoy your channel so much for many reasons, one of which is the little bit of education such as the one included today on the insurance signs. Loving your pickups today. Do you think you might persuade the felted animal seller to make some for your new shop?
Love all your harvest display, well done. It’s so nice to incorporate those finds in your home. You do such a nice job. 🍂🤎🤍🌾
The hutch looks great!! Happy belated birthday🎉🎈💐
Thank you so much!
Happy Birthday! Love your Thanksgiving hutch decor. I also mix my Johnson Brothers Devonshire dishes with my Ironstone collection!
I bet that looks beautiful!

Thank you on both accounts!
I appreciate seeing how you decorated for Thanksgiving. It gave me a lot of good ideas.
I'm so glad! I can't believe it's almost here!

I couldn't agree with you more! 💕💕
The kitchen hutch looks so pretty 😍 So cozy 🦃
I'm so glad you like it! I'm going to struggle to let the copper pieces go!
Your thistle decorated tea cup inspired me to get a thistle decorated mug! My great great grandmother came from Scotland. She was a member of the clan Riddell, which is also my youngest brothers first name happy Thanksgiving.!

It's very busy when Birthdays come in a big rush like that! I hope everyone had a nice Birthday in October!
Hope you had a nice birthday 🎂 🎉 You are so cheery and uplifting I thoroughly enjoy your videos. I love the brown transferware in your kitchen. I wish I had the room to start collecting it. It looks addictive. 😊
I'm so glad you enjoy the video! Starting ANY collection can be addicting, but it's also so much fun!
A Belated Very Happy Birthday, Kris! A lovely video as usual and I loved all the finds and the history lesson…. You have a great eye for decorating your home!❤😊
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! And thank you for the Birthday wishes!
Happy birthday!! Hope you had a great one! Love your Thanksgiving decor with browns and creams and copper. It's a very calming combination after the brigher colors of fall, and a nice break before the Christmas decor comes out.
Hi Laura! I debated between adding copper or silver, but I figured I had temporary access to the copper, so I might as well enjoy it!
Happy Birthday! I love your fall decor hutch. You certainly have a gift for decorating
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I love decorating for the seasons - it changes up the house in all of the best ways!
Thank you for reminding me I have a Turkey dinner plate I forgot all about. So went down to my treasure trove and brought him up to put on my hutch.

I'm so glad my video reminded you of a treasure! I love it!
ALL I CAN SAY… “YOUR HOME IS BEAUTIFUL..CAN NOT WAIT
TO SHOP AT YOUR COLCHESTER BOOTH..
Thank you so much! I'm looking forward to it!
Happy Birthday. I always love seeing your haul, but particularly enjoy the decorating. I can’t wait for you to show us your booth set-up!

Thank you for the Birthday wishes! I'm so glad you enjoyed the history. I love learning more about old objects and places!
Happy birthday Chris. Your channel is a favorite of mine. AND.....your cats could not be more beautiful and adorable!
Awwww, thank you so much on all accounts! I'm so glad you enjoy the channel! ❤❤
I like the Thanksgiving hutch. Hi to all the furbabies. Hope you had a good birthday. I also like vintage postcards. Good video.
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! I'll tell the fur babies you said hello! 😸😸🐶🐶
Many thanks for taking me along. Your channel is a wonderful escape. I am also drawn to bone china . The tea cups & saucers were great finds. Enjoy! The price was right. Love seeing your treasures displayed in your home. Take care.
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! I couldn't believe they were only charging $1 for those teacups and saucers! I love a bargain!
Happy Birthday Kris! Great video as usual. I love the backstory/education you give us. Thanks for the decorating tips as well!
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! It was fun learning more about fire marks!
I miss Pier One too!
Hi Kris,
Happy belated Birthday!! Hope you and Eric had a great dinner out!
I'm really liking the hutch. You have a great eye for color
and design. Very nice!!
Have a great weekend.
Deb
I'm so glad you enjoyed the hutch refresh! I was sad to change it because I was enjoying the Halloween theme, but I think I like this one even better.
My Dad was on the USS Delta AR-9 and I remember him having a plaque on the wall with their logo/shield. If he was still alive, he might have been interested in that.
Oh I collect the red and white transferware. I just love it and it’s very hard to find here in Savannah, Tn were I live. ❤ Nice haul Kris. You have a wonderful skill in interior design. 😊 All of your fall decor is beautifully put together. 😊

Happy Happy Birthday Kris! 🎊 🎉
Thank you so much! It was a great day!
Happy birthday 🎉my birthday is Nov 9!! Now i know why i enjoy all you do !! Love the green vases !! Question ? What day do you usually thrift at goodwill? Your stores have so much stock ! Love the thanksgiving hutch decor
Hi Laura! Happy Belated Birthday! I thrift all different days, and for the last three months or so, I've been focused more on estate sales, tag sales and flea markets on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Now that it's getting colder out, I'll spend more time at Goodwill and probably go on the weekdays.
I see there’s a pair of soldier andirons on Etsy for $360! You and Eric got a deal at $40!
On your black iron dude, I've seen them before in iron and even brass. I think you could find his match and make them into andirons again.
We already have antique George Washington andirons that I love! But it would be fun to get Iron Dude a friend!
@@WorthingtonHome My Mother In Law has them in shiny brass made in the 1980's - reproductions.
Happy Birthday Kris! I enjoy your channel so much for many reasons, one of which is the little bit of education such as the one included today on the insurance signs. Loving your pickups today. Do you think you might persuade the felted animal seller to make some for your new shop?
Awesome idea, as I've never seen them before and they are quite interesting!
Oh my gosh - I would love to have some of those little animals in my shop! I didn't take her card or anything. I really dropped the ball!
