- Hello Darlings,
I have finally finished answering your questions! I'm sorry I wasn't able to get through every single comment. If I tried to answer every question, the video would be far too long!! xx
I hope you enjoy this longer than usual casual video while I sit down, have a chat, do my makeup and do my hair!
Lots of love,
Sage xx

I love your 50’s housewife videos! I never understand why people look down on the role of a housewife as degrading. You gave us a great perspective on life back then. It takes a lot of work to keep a household together and stay at home wives/mothers have so much responsibility! I’m a full-time working wife/mother and I honestly think my days off at home with the kids are even harder than my days at work.
My husband runs a business and he has to take over on days when I have had seizures or get sick and he told me he didn't know how much it took to actually do what I do to run the house and that he would help out more. And he has since he told me that 🥰
I love the 1950's as well and I too don't understand why women look down on the role of a housewife. I would love to go back in time and live that life again. I think it was such a beautiful time. I am a housewife now & I love what I do by taking care of my kids and husband and my dogs. I think of myself as a regular Donna Reed. :) Thank you Sage for your awesome videos I love them all. :). ox
Yeah my husband definitely couldn’t handle it if we switched places 😂
We are a family of 7 and I am a stay at home Mom. I love cooking from scratch, baking bread and living simply. I will never regret sharing so much time with my family vs building a career. No one I know who is retired, wishes they focused on an outside the home job more, it's always more time with the family. Your videos are so Joyful!
Absolutely, I doubt very much that anyone, on their deathbed, will wish that they had spent more time at work as opposed to spending more time with their families! 😊
Oh Sage. Please don’t listen to that woman who made a comment about being a stay at home mother or wife or woman. Those types of comments come from women who do not understand what the women’s movement was all about and they’ve added an extra rule. The women’s movement was just about choice. A choice whether we wanted to stay at home or go out and getting a paid job. We have that choice now. I love being at home and cooking and cleaning. I love it!And nobody has the right to tell me that my choice is wrong. That just makes them wrong. I love your channel and what you were doing to bring back femininity.
Yes, please do the 50’s inspired cooking show! Sounds so fun. FYI I’ve been doing the Jack LaLanne exercises in the morning. Lol.
How’s it going?? I’ve started too. Only 2 days in though.
@@JG-gb3lm where can i find all the episodes please 🥺
Family meal time, at the table, not around the tv is very important.
OMG yes!! Rachel and Bernadette for the win!!! 💕💕💕
I'm really glad you did do that '48 hours as a 1940's Housewife' because that's what brought me to your channel. I LOVE your videos and you helped me get interested in the 40's and 50's.
Aw thanks so much! 💞
If you could, you should do a music playlist!!! I’d absolutely would LOVE it!!! ❤️❤️❤️
It's ironically refreshing to hear someone around my same age say they want to be a mom. I swear I hear more and more people in their 20's insisting they won't ever become a parent and I feel a little weird about it.
There have always been people that didn't want children, women now just have more of a choice about whether they have them or not. It's far better now where only people who want to have children have them. The choice really has nothing to do with anyone else and how they feel about it.
@@kalliste01 Oh yeah, it's way better when only people who want children have them, of course. It's just felt weird hearing someone else my age say it since everyone else I know don't want any.
@@6thgraderfriends yea it’s refreshing seems like it’s trendy to hate kids yikes. Our own species.
Not long since that was a woman's only purpose. I think it's great people can choose and express themselves. I won't be having kids. But I would happily crochet things others kids and babysit.
As an old broad who now has grandkids- having kids is not something you will regret. Dang it all, it’s a superpower! We can grow humans inside our bodies. I don’t understand their negativity towards having kids. I grieve for those who want to but cannot.
I’d like to see you do a sewing video for James!🤩It would be interesting to see you guys in your vintage wear!
I've thought of this before while watching your videos but ESPECIALLY in this one - you really remind me of Geena Davis' character in A League of Their Own. Obviously the hair and makeup but you also have that beautiful facial structure too. This look is sooooo perfect for you!
It’s My Party And I’ll Cry If I Want to!!! Love that song!
Love youuuu. You’ve inspired me to start my vintage journey. So good getting to know you more!
Aw, my heart is so warmed!!!
Please do more "day in the life" videos!! :D
Never apologize for the length of your videos - the longer the better... 😎💖
James Stewart - Rear Window, great movie and you would love Grace Kelly's fashion in the movie too🥰
I know this is an old video, but like many, I’ve been binge-watching your channel recently after having a 2yo need a hospital stay and being pinned down while she slept. Thank you for doing “day” and “week in the life” type videos. My grandmother was a post-war bride, and she always said her stay-at-home days raising kids were her happiest. (She worked and was single during the war). So many women DID find fulfillment at home and wouldn’t have chosen it any other way. She is my inspiration to be a home maker myself (going on 6 years now with 4 great kids and hard-working husband - who, like many men of the 40’s, doesn’t love his career but loves his family and works for our benefit). And doing those videos I think gives more insights than just reading about it through modern critical lenses.
Thanks for such an inspiring channel… I can’t wait to use so many of your tipd.
James Stewart 😍 I love his films 💕
Another lovely insight into your life, loved the bloopers at the end ! I like the fact that you don't push 'true vintage' as the only way forward. Very few of us can afford the price of 'true vintage' unless we are lucky enough to find something in a charity shop. Many, more modern items (which are plentiful in charity shops) can be made to look as though they are from older eras. I love James Stewart too ! X
Thank you so much! 😊 I'm glad you enjoy the bloopers hehe :)
Absolutely, it is just not realistic for everyone to pay a couple of hundred dollars per vintage item of clothing!
James Stewart!! Good to hear someone else loves him too. I fell in love with him listening to his radio show...then I found out he was a movie actor!
I have this great 40s pattern for a skirt and it's crazy how effortlessly perfect the silhouette is! It's super flattering
Oh yes! Glen Miller orchestra 👏👏👏
Me too! Listen to Glen Miller on my daily commute and it really sets me up for the day! 🎷🎤🎺🎼
You really inspire me. I just got a 50s cook book. I'm excited to try these. Thank you for bringing these styles back. Any ideas about you doing a talk show? I would love to see you become successful in this.❤
Awww I love that you guys swing dance! I learned a few years ago and fell in love with it 🥰
It really is just so fun! :)
Sage, I am obsessed with your videos. I found you through your housewife video. I want to be a housewife like my grandmother once I get married. Love your videos.
Love from Kansas
Same!
I think that is awesome! Please don’t let women bully you into embracing a life you don’t want! There is absolutely nothing wrong with a traditional wife life; IF that is your choice! Make a life that makes YOU HAPPY! Blessings love!
@@crystala8020 Thank you for saying this. I’ve gotten hate from other girls my age. But I know the most rewarding life, is serving others and not just my self. Hope you have a lovely day. God Bless dear❤️
Aw, thank you so much!!
@@Emma-ii9gf I'm a housewife and i love it. I always new I wanted to be a homemaker and raise my family. I struggled with finding a "career" and I just accepted that this is what makes me happy and screw anyone who doesn't agree with it.
I love your bloopers! I also thought in your housewife video when you said “after a hard days work…” that you didn’t even have any children to tend to throughout the day and it made me feel better to be reminded that this is hard work even if I didn’t have kids running around it’d be hard work so it’s absolutely normal and expected sometimes if I feel overwhelmed :)
Do you decorate your home in a vintage style as well? This Q & A was really fun. Thanks for posting.
Aw thanks so much, I'm really glad you enjoyed it! I do decorate my home in a vintage style, personally I don't love the really sleek all white modern styles of today. I think it's lovely to give your home a cozy and warm vintage touch! xx
Was so lovely getting to know you a bit more. 🌺
I'm glad you enjoyed watching, thank you! 🤗
So enjoyed getting to know you more sweetie! As always, your smile, personality make my day gorgeous!! Happy New Year to you and your family! Hugs..😊💖🙏.
Thank you so much!!
If you do end up finding and/or making vintage clothes for James, please show us those too! I just found your channel, it's super fun, but I actually like dressing in suits and would love to see how you go helping him find a more vintage look.
I know it's been awhile since you posted this video but wanted to say my mom was a sophomore in highschool in 1937. She taught herself to sew and in her sophomore year the home economics teacher in her very small home town could not sew. My mom at 16 taught the sewing segment that year. They made a house coat, aprons and a pair of shorts. She was an awesome seamstress and while I was growing up she sewed for the public. I was the best dressed girl in school and all my friends wanted my clothes. She made all my ball gowns too. I sew too but always judge my skills by my moms... and I never measure up! Love your videos!
Love your videos Sage and the bloopers at the end get me every time 😂
I love your little bloopers at the end, they're always so cute and funny. I remember doing pin curls in high school when I was in cosmetology and I got pretty good at it. Now I want to see if I can do them still 😆
I just started following you a couple weeks ago, and today I am looking at mattress reviews and ran into your (brand new) video. :-) I call that serendipity!
Hi there! Thanks so much for subscribing!! xx
I love the old Fred & Ginger movies!
Also Gregory Peck is an absolute dreamboat
Oh my goodness yes!
It's so sweet that you and James go dancing together. At least in my area of the US, we have nothing like that but the moment I find an event for swing dancing, I'm going!
Your trajectory with sewing is pretty similar to mine, although I still have to call my dad whenever our machine jams... oops!
I've never seen Rita Hayworth in anything. My favorite old Hollywood actress will always be Audrey Hepburn
James and I really enjoy going dancing together, although we haven't been able to go for a while because of Covid!
Thank you so so much Caroline, that is so sweet of you! xoxox
I really enjoy your videos. You mentioned that your sister dresses vintage too. I would love to see you and your sister do a video a vintage video together in the future. Thanks!
My grandma and favourite Uncle recently died.
I went looking for a Coatdress. I couldn’t find any, anywhere!
I cannot believe that these things are no longer sold in Australia. Tragic to see this type of classy style is no longer available. Grrr!
Another Jimmy Stewart movie to watch is "The shop around the corner"
Ooohhh I'll have to check that one out! :)
Love Rear Window
I love the 50s dresses too!!
I've always been very work driven woman, now that I'm 32yo I've worked already for 17 years from my life. I've always had the fantasy that I could be a housewife since I Love homemaking, but I've always had the feeling that I'm not allowed to ssy that out loud, especially here in Finlabd where equality is a huge subject. But as I've got More years and especially getting married reacently I've been thinking that how Come I'm shamed to have these dreams. How Can it be, that in these times when women Can do anything it's a bad thing to wish to be a housewife. I Can understand if there are negative sides to it, such as domestic abuse or the "White pride" ideology, those are never ok.
Thst was a long story :D you make my Day, Love the way you present yourself! Btw, how are your nails so gorgeous, mine are just crumbling away xD
Thanks so much for commenting! 😊💕 I’m glad you enjoyed the video!
If you are a stay at home housewife you are not earning money that’s why it’s not encouraged because if there is a break up then what do you do get a job that’s what times have changed since the fifties😢
Hi Sage, this Q/A was so interesting. I just love your Dining thru the Decades series. Will you be doing a cooking series from the Edwardian period?
It's so lovely that you are taking time for Q&A! I really enjoyed it.
Bell, Book & Candle is one of my favorite James Stewart movies. His love interest was Kim Novak. One of his last w a much younger romance. He didn't like perpetuating the older guy/younger woman romance. Lovely eclectic outfits.
I would bring back the fix-it culture/fixable items. I hate that we have "planned obsolescence" and that things are made to break so that you have to buy another.😢
On a separate note, I find it hard to find clothes (used, vintage, any really😒) in my size since I'm overweight. I wish I new how to sew "seeeeew" badly.😉😆😭😩
Yes I get the American accent it pops in here and there
Sage: I haven't traveled a lot.
Also Sage: *lists five foreign countries she's been to*
I love your videos. Keep up up it is nice to c something different to watch
Sweet humble and beautiful. You are as rare as your vintage pieces💕
You’re such a doll!! I love watching these, gets me through the working day :)
I love some of the 1950s dresses. I dont know if you know but there is a brand called hell bunny that have some lovely 1950s style clothes.
I LOVE MCM etc... this is SO wonderful to watch... I have many pastel MCM touches in my kitchen and other touches throughout my house. My tastes are eclectic, so I can't 100% commit (I love my Inuit treasures and antiques from before the mid-century and can't give up those displays!) ... One more comment: I so wish I could just touch up eyebrows, throw on some read lipstick and look amazing like you!!!! You are so darling!
Me too! I also like Bernadette Banner, Karolina Zebrowska and Maksy!
You're adorable, your soon to be fiance "wink wink" is a very lucky chap.
Such great content! I love your videos and always make me smile! You are such a wonderful person! :)
Thank you so much!!
I love your videos about being a 1950s housewife. Your hair, and outfits are so cute! You and I have similar interests. For instance, we both like eras from the Edwardian era to the 1950s. My favourite era is the 1920s! Ever since I saw the Miss Fisher Murder Mysteries, I was hooked! My next fave era is the 1940s, because that's when my Mom was growing up. She has told me so many stories about when the war was going on, and how her life was during the dirty thirties, and the 1940s. (Mom was born in 1932) I love music from the 20s to the 40s, and I just love Big Band music! I'm glad that you like Fred Astaire, as he is my favorite, too. He danced so divinely! Thank you for sharing about yourself, Sage. Stay safe! ~Janet in Canada
Thank u for all the energy and sincere effort you put into your videos. I'm a new subscriber and love your content. It feels so relaxing and I love being reminded of many of the routines and aspects of life that my mom/grandma lived as well as some things they taught me. 🥰
Thanks so much for subscribing! xx
Hi there new subscriber here ! 😊 I also absolutely love the oldies music! My go to music is anything from the 70’s , Glen Miller Greatest hits, and Harry James and his orchestra.
Love all the vblogs. Keep posting we love it so much !!!!
I am so into 1950s gowns ,so rich in colours ,styles beautiful
I love your videos! I'm excited to see what news ones you come up with this year!
Yay! Thank you!
Jimmy Stewart and Cary Grant are my favorite male actors. I love the old black and white movies.
In Canada we have college where you get a diploma, is more experience and skill oriented.Things like graphic design or art for business/advertisement, therapy,ems, hair dressing and hands on type things.University is for a degree and is more information based learning (recently they've tried to incorporate more experience,but this and past year everything's been online). Things like the bachelor of fine art,law school, certain versions of engineering etc.Both have architecture, nursing usually starts in college 2 years, finishes 2 in university,or does all 4 university.So a little bit of an idea 😉.In the U.S.A.-they have community college and state colleges/university.Community versions usually function to help get into further state version stepping block, aren't job accredited for many purposes, and things like regular nursing might for example, could get u a bit of a job locally in your state depending on what they recognize but to be fully accredited u definitely need to go on to a state recognized university, especially for Registered Nursing (office paperwork.I don't know if you call that R.N. where u are?).
I happen to think the 'engagement dress'from a scene in high society, played by Grace Kelly would make for an attractive modern interpretation.
I really think women in the 50's had a lot of leeway,were active in meetings for charity, which is easy to not have time for when everybody works the office job.Forcing women out of the home when it's not their choice of preference really takes away their rights.So if it works in your favor (and your family 😊), good for you!! more power to ya.
I really like your video, thanksf for making them. I am a reto fan. I love the 60's, 70's and some 80's clothes. I mostly wear 70's style clothes. Most of my cloths are from the 70's but some are 70's inspired. I am into more of a formal look/ over 30 looks, from these eras. I don't like hippie cloth. It is all over the place gives off an air that you don't give a toss. I also had decorations my house with a mid century modern look. Over time I plan on renovating it and putting back some of the late 60's look that it would have. The previous owners have given it a late 90s early 2000s look.
Thank you for watching! 😊
Where do you get the vintage makeup? Or the vintage makeup containers so you can add fresh refills?
I grew up in the southern part of the US but my accent can change to british or scottish for some reason. Brave was one of my favorite movies when I was younger and Doctor Who and Sherlock are two of my favorite shows. When it comes to accents I definitely think you can pick up accents from movies or shows or even people you're exposed to often.
I have people say the same thing to me about my accent haha! I grew up in Australia until I was 19 and have lived in the UK for the past 2 & a half years, plus my husband is English. So my accent is a very soft Australian with a hint of Southern English. 😂 But I also think most people outside Australia expect us to sound like Steve Irwin or have a really heavy, broad accent and don't realise there are a few subtle dialects.
Hahaha the Steve Irwin expectation is hilarious 😂
And don’t forget the Crocodile 🐊 Dundee expectations!
@@looloo4029 the amount of times I've heard "that's not a knife" hahaha
one of my favourite youtbers is rachel maksy too, and i recenlty found your channel through you! sending love from melbourne :)
Just stumbled upon your videos! Love them! Has anyone ever said you look like Haley Atwell (as Peggy Carter)??
If not, I definitely think you do!
Can’t wait to see what you continue to make!
I'm a bit late to the party, but have you ever watched the TV show called Smash? It was a musical about the life of Marilyn and I loved it so much! Been going back through your older videos that I missed and really loved learning more about you!
Sage I found your videos only a few days ago. I am so in love with your voice, your enthusiasm, your knowledge ❤. Love&Light Cecilia
That means so much, thank you! xx
I love, love, love your channel.
Sage, I just adore your videos, and you are so sweet! Where did you get the gorgeous brush comb and mirror set you use? I've been dying to find one... Is it real vintage or a modern replica?
I love your channel. You voice is amazing and perfect for style. You remind me of my mom. She loved to cook and was an amazing seamstress
Do you listen to any Buddy Holly or Dion and the Belmonts? I too dress vintage. Love your videos!
Good afternoon from Los Angeles, California. It is noon here.
If you ever come to Scotland for a few weeks then you will enjoy your holiday with James in one of the lovely hotels in Glasgow.
That sounds like a lot of travel to me. Do you always cook vintage and do you ever watch modern TV?
I loved the comment you read from the older women who is looking for inspiration. I’m 52 years young and have been dressing vintage for about 10 years. I love watching all you young ladies videos about vintage fashion , hair and makeup but honestly I realize some things might look silly on me . Thanks for letting me know about Nikki Redcliff !! I just found her on Instagram. Does she have a UA-cam channel to ?
I'm glad you enjoyed that, it's always nice to see a variety of ages dressing vintage! You are welcome! I don't believe she has UA-cam but I did find a video of her on here! ua-cam.com/video/56IGWD9e_zg/v-deo.html
Make a You Tube playlist of 50'susic pleeeeeaaaasssseeee!
Your videos are so fun!
Hi! How long have you been living like you were in the 50's? I literally love your style and videos. I ended up here by accident and I love it. ❤️
First off, I want to say that I just found your channel a few days ago and have been devouring it when I have a spare moment. I am a woman that is half way a walking anachronism. My mind is on other eras most of the time.
I had a thought, I think you did fantastic job with being a 50s housewife for a week.
I am probably a little older than most of your viewers. I am in my mid 50s. I had parents that had a large age gap between them and oddly enough, my late husband and I had a wide age gap. The cool thing with these facts is that I had unique windows into the past.
What I am leading up to here is that I think your sister was mistaken in the message that your videos might send. I think there are a lot stereotypes of women in the 50s and what was expected that are a bit off in the modern imagination than they really were. As, women having no choices and having to obey their husband's in everything is less true than most think, and some women did work. In fact, I fell heir to my grandmother's keepsake box and there was a paper for people whom were considering wedlock from the 1930s, that encouraged women to help out with household finances by getting a gob. My great aunt was a nurse and married to the head engineer of General Motors. She definitely didn't have to work. But she pursued her career and raised a family.
However, when the Great Depression hit, here in America, married women were not allowed to work and take jobs from men who were considered the obligatory provider. However, just a few years later, women were again encouraged women to get back in the workforce during WW II on the other hand. one could really tell how exhausted you were when you were living for a week as a 50s housewife. Thank goodness we have so many modern conveniences that make life a little but easier. I really miss the values that people had then. It seems that in a lot of ways the moral fiber was stronger because parents were more there for their kids. My husband was raised that you sit down to eat and leave distractions behind and be present with family. I am so glad that we brought our kids up that way. I think that is something that really deserves to make a comeback. I think families would be stronger.
I cant wait to watch the rest of your videos and look forward to any new videos you make.
You should add The Closet Historian (Bianca) to you list of Vintage style UA-camrs to watch. She's fascinating!
Great video! I love your out takes! Lol. Can't wait to see you next week! I have been doing my daily workout with Debbie Drake and loving it!
Thank you so much! Oh that's so great you doing a daily workout with Debbie! xx
Thank you for sharing . Very interesting . I love James Stewart , my favourite film with him is Vertigo and the way the lady’s dress in that film ..I’ve always admired . Maybe later on you can think about designing and making 50s clothes for a living . I saw that Cass from clutterbug was inspired by you and brought a dress online to wear .she gave you a lovely shout out . 💛
Thank you so much for watching! 💕 Oh wow I had no idea, thanks for letting me know about her video! 😊
@@SageLilleyman 💋💋 her video ua-cam.com/video/kWOkyBDAO3M/v-deo.html
I've got an answer for you when someone asks you how old you are? Just tell them that you are 80 and then quickly say But don't I look good for 80? And leave it at that. I think your beautiful .I love your attitude , the way you dress and how you decorate. And your guy is quite adorable.
Great to get to know you better!
your hair looks so pretty! loved getting to know you a bit more ! :)
Thank you so much Carolina!!
Guess it Sunday there have a GREAT Sunday morning.Your voice reminds me of Dot from Ms Fishers Mysterys.☺
Yes there is quite a big time difference here compared to the rest of the world! Thank you very much haha, I think Dot has the cutest voice!
@@SageLilleyman You Mention Jimmy Steward as a favorite actor,check out Rear Window and Vertago classic Hitchcock movies.Donna Reed show pretty good to on Tubi tv. I would also recommend some Cary Grant movie s like Charade or North by NorthWest. Have a great week!
The accent question: I was surprised at how English you are for an Australian. You should get regressed, to see if you are living a past life. I love your channel and have so much to watch and catch up on as a new follower.
Sage 50's cooking great idea
Oh a fellow swing dancer! It’s been almost a year since I’ve been able to social dance and I miss it so much 😭
Amercian here. I remember watching i think the same qna as this one or it might have been a different one but you siad you were vegetarian how come you are vegetarian. Keep up the good work sage
Have you read Robert Matzen’s book about James Stewart’s WWII experiences? Fascinating. I had so much respect for him after reading it.
8:27. Same here.
I'm newer to your channel, and I love your videos so much more than a few others I follow. Please keep making your videos, and I would love some cooking/recipe videos as well. I love the education of how people lived in the 50's. I have always been such a fan of the past. There is something very soothing and calming of how they lived. My parents were born before the 50's in Europe, and cooking bread and all the meals and desserts by scratch is what my mother specialized in. BTW, love your Australian accent. Much love from American.
Gina Davis from a league of their own is who you put me in mind of. You are both very beautiful and down to earth.
Absolutely knew you were an Australian!! I knew that’s why I loved you! I personally couldn’t tell if it was Australian or more England!! I’m from the states so I know nothing about an accent other than a southern (I’m from Arkansas haha!) I love Australian accents. 💕 love your channel dearly ... xoxo Olivia
Oh thank you so much! xx
