I am excited. I have inherited an old, black mantel clock from Grandma's house. The clock hasn't worked my whole life. I think I will paint it off-white with decoupaged pink roses. I will replace the clock face with Great-Grandma's gray and white toned photo, beautifully colorized with pale pink. I have engagement photos of both grandparents that I plan to put in other antique clocks. I have an 18" hand-made oak shelf to put them on and hang Grandpa's violin on the wall beside them. You have inspired me! Thank you!
Oh, Mary Ellen! You have a beautiful plan! I would love to see your display when you have it all finished! How nice that will be to be reminded of your grandparents every day!
I've heard of bringing new life to old things but you have managed to bring new life to dead things! Love the vivarium. And I like the versatility of the marble lamp base. You have wonderful ideas! Thank you for another beautiful video.
I remember in the 70s people had glass containers filled with real butterflies and dried flowers…it’s interesting, I have some items that aren’t as showy. My husband absolutely hates bugs in the house -dead or alive!!! What you made is really cute and creative.
Sherry you have a beautiful home. I love to watch you create beautiful things from cast outs You are very creative and spark me to go thrifting to see what I can find for my home . I have to confess I have been thrifting for year and have so many treasures. It's been great fun. Enjoy your summer Sherry. Until next time.😊
I love your faux vivarium, Sheri! I have found dead bumble bees now and then, outside. Even not living, they are beautiful. I usually give them a little burial and a prayer. But I think I will search for elements to make a vivarium myself. Your vivarium shows a sweet appreciation for nature. Your brass candle lamp is gorgeous! What a find! The marble lamp is really lovely, and I like what you did with it. I prefer the version with the trailing plant. Your collection of blue and white china is so appealing. I have a collection of blue and white china too. I loved seeing the vintage lamp with the doily shade in the new vignette you created with the granny chic chair. I enjoyed this video so much! You are a genius, and I love your sense of style!
I love your blue dishes! Especially the Dutch pieces! We went to Aruba, Bon Aire and Curaçao in January. My husband bought several pieces for our collection!
You 🤯my mind! The cloche, the marble lamp useable 2 ways,your staging-of mantle !!! You just find the most interesting pieces to create. I love, love your channel❤❤
Sherry, I agree with your thinking on big glass jars. For a party fill with candy and a scoop. Also baskets are great for storage and are common finds at thrift stores. I love your blue and white collection.
Sherry I love your videos. They are so inspiring and creative. I would not miss your video. See you next Monday. Ps my favourite creation is the one at the beginning with the deceased butterfly. I love it ❤️❤️❤️🇨🇦
That marble lamp transformation is sooo good! Every project was wonderful. So many really great ideas and I really love your collections! Thanks for sharing! Have a great week!
Hi Sherry! You have become my husband's & I favorite crafter. You have more unique ideas for turning the blah into beauties, than anyone else we watch. And there are several! You inspire us so much. But the thing you do that Vic just loves, is when you day at the end of your intros is "Let's get started!" Vic joins in with you every time and says it too! It's a hoot 😅. Well keep up the great work girlfriend ! We love ya!❤ Vic & Sherry Morrison , Newark, Ohio
Wow, thank you! I love that you both watch. My husband only watches my videos because he’s my husband! I really appreciate your kind comments and your support!😊
I love everything, but especially the cloche. Finding and adding the butterfly and bee takes it over the top! I like the marble lamp base with the plant. I wish I had your level of imagination to repurpose thrifted items.😊
Hi. Sherri,. Weird is good. I always think outside the box and decorate eclectic. My friends love the way I decorate and I always here. Look what this is or look at that. Makes me feel good. Loved this video my friend.
Love everything in your home. While I love all these things, I resist the temptation to decorate my home with a lot of items that are just for decorating and doesn't have a function or sentimental value. It's too much dusting for me. I hate to dust. My husband has his mother's silver plated utensils that has her maiden name initial on the handle of each piece. It's not usable as it's very tarnished and the silver is worn off, But it's beautiful. I put all of it in an apothecary jar.
I can’t wait for your posts each Monday! You are the most creative person I have ever seen! I loved everything but the oil lamp stand with the cloche is my favorite!
Hi Sherry, I loved the vivarium. I went to the thrift store Saturday and saw the cutest thing! Someone took an old treadle sewing machine cabinet and made it into a small vanity, I would loved to have bought it but I truly have no space for it. It is a fantastic idea if you ever run across a cabinet.
That real bee and butterfly were so beautiful. My favorite, if I have to choose. Everything you did in this video turned out amazing. Your videos are the best part of my Mondays.
I think you can make a flower arrangement out of anything. Everything was so cool today .i liked the marble lamp upright best. Thank you dear Sherry for your inspiration.
Sherry, your videos always give me SO much to mull over! Your first piece was my favorite today, but it is always hard to choose. I am going to start looking over very vintage and antique advertising to see what looks unusual in a good way like you did with the cloche. Thanks for another great video!
Oh, my goodness! I loved the viverium! I have been trying to turn a corner of my den into a dark academia area. That viverium would be perfect! Now, I’m on the hunt for an old oil lamp!
Great tips on how to combine and arrange otherwise disparate items. I admire the treasures you manage to find in your area; "slim pickens" around here...
Your ideas are always inspiring and I enjoy ‘hearing you’ too. I’m quite sure with your soothing speaking cadence and beautiful enunciation, your students loved you too! You’re still teaching!
You always come up with such good ideas,I didn’t have a favorite. Love your creative side your students Must have loved you to the point of not wanting to leave your classes. Thank you for what you did then and for what you are sharing now.
Sherry you never disappoint me with all of your fabulous ideas! I happen to like the vivarium and the marble lamp as a candle stand. I will be returning to this video often! Thank you for sharing 😊♥️
Thank you so much, Madonna! I think the Vivarium is one of my all time favorite projects. And, what are the chances that I would find a dead butterfly and a dead bumblebee?
Thank you so much, Madonna! I think the Vivarium is one of my all time favorite projects. And, what are the chances that I would find a dead butterfly and a dead bumblebee?
I am also a collector of blue and white porcelain pieces. Have collected for years. Every magazine I pick up now is chocked full of our favorite blues.
Hello Sherry! I didn't think your 1st revamp was creepy. Love your style and the way you marry items to create beautiful unique pieces. You never let me down, you always encourage and inspire me to look outside the norm. Your creativity is to notch and I appreciate you sharing it with us. I'm always sad when your videos end but can't wait until next week's. 😊
Have you seen the William Morris fabric collection and rugs also??? My granddaughter would adore saving the dead bugs in the cloche. We would have a home full of creatures if I didn't object.
True words…if you love it, you’ll find a way to use it! I’m not a fan of colonial vintage, however, I have a piece I bought because it spoke to me! It comes out every Christmas when it most suits my mood.
If I feel I don’t have room for my new find, I will get rid of something that I no longer love. Sometimes it requires a lot of shuffling around, but that is part of the fun.
This was so good I think my brain exploded! 🤯 I love old domes and terrariums. My two sons tease me and call me the Dome Queen. I have one that is over 3 foot tall. Haven’t decided what to do with it yet. Teased my grand daughter when she was little and told her I was going to put her in it. (It didn’t scare her because she knows her gammy is silly) 😝😜🤪😂🤣
Sherri, I dig your old vivarium. I think it’s great when you can use/repurpose something from nature and give it another “life” by displaying it. I’ve done the same with butterflies I’ve found as well as bird’s nests.
Sherry, I love all the little touches that are so you. They remind me of my favorite Aunt who passed 2 year's ago. I was very excited for you when I saw the s&p and that beautiful flask. I always think of you whenever I see any Delft or any blue and white pottery. I absolutely love your reading nook, that chair is perfect ❤.
Oh, thank you, Lola! I was in a little privately owned thrift store, and she had all her salt and pepper shakers marked $3! I wondered if she knew they were real Delft.
Love your home and your motto! It's always been mine..."If you love it, you'll find a place for it"! I recently heard a statement that would fit your home and mine..."the home has accumulated objects and stories as it went along like barnacles on an old ship".
You’re right, Sherry, I’m ready to go thrifting again and this time, look for unique items to display and repurpose in my home! I love the cocker spaniel print! I have been picking up hunting dog figurines for my mantle! I sure hope I come across some nice prints like yours! I don’t think using dead bugs in your decor ( that sounds funny, doesn’t it😂) is weird. I love that idea! Only butterflies and bees, though! I find dead flies all the time but not very attractive! Thanks for the grand ideas! Love you videos!
Sherry, The vivarium you created is pure happiness for me! Love the look, love the project!! A bumble bee in your window sill? Only you!!!❤Fantastic video with lots of inspiration!!
The cloche….. amazing, creative, and stunning. You have a beautiful mind….and home!!
Amen!
Thank you so much, Robin!
That's a lovely way to say it, robininva, and I agree with you 100% -- Sheri has a beautiful mind and home.
I’m a newbie here and I must say I agree! 🗣️💯💕
Ikr..Absolutely gorgeous! ♡
I love the Victorian "whatever you called it" cloche. 😂...the real butterfly and bee were perfect.
Thank you, Brenda! I only knew it was a vivarium from the illustration I had seen. It’s just a terrarium with live animals or insects.
Lol! I love that you used the dead butterfly and bee! What a wonderful way to make their short little lives even more meaningful.
Our Dear Ms. Sherry: I am over the moon for your Vivarium!
Oh, thank you! I’m so glad you like it!
Yikes ! All so great. How do you do it ??
I love the plant lamp!!!! Yay sherry.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊🎉
Your comment; "if you love it, you'll always find a place for it" is SO true!! Thanks for sharing this collection of inspirations.
I'm so glad to know that other people decorate with dead bugs too!🐝
And skulls too!
😂
The highlight of my week is when you publish your video!
Oh, you are just the sweetest!!
@@CanterburyCottage 💕💕💕
I totally agree 👍
Agreed!!❤️
*AGREED❣️💜🥰*
There’s nothing that can’t be made cute with a birds nest, greenery, moss or a butterfly! So so so cute and pleasing to the eye❤️❤️❤️❤️
I agree completely!
I am excited. I have inherited an old, black mantel clock from Grandma's house. The clock hasn't worked my whole life. I think I will paint it off-white with decoupaged pink roses.

I am in absolute awe at the way your imagination works (and a little jealous! 😉) All of these ideas are gorgeous!!
I agree, if you love it you WILL find a place for it. Thank you Sherry.
Thank you so much for repurposing the albaster lamp and NOT painting it. So beautiful either way!!
Weird is cool. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise!
I look forward to you every week!
That is so sweet of you to say, Midge! 😊
I've heard of bringing new life to old things but you have managed to bring new life to dead things! Love the vivarium. And I like the versatility of the marble lamp base. You have wonderful ideas! Thank you for another beautiful video.
You are so kind, Ellen! Thank you!
Sherry you give us inspiration to do what we like, not what's "on trend". Thanks for making quirky more acceptable.
I remember in the 70s people had glass containers filled with real butterflies and dried flowers…it’s interesting, I have some items that aren’t as showy. My husband absolutely hates bugs in the house -dead or alive!!! What you made is really cute and creative.
Sherry you have a beautiful home. I love to watch you create beautiful things from cast outs
You are very creative and spark me to go thrifting to see what I can find for my home . I have to confess I have been thrifting for year and have so many treasures. It's been great fun. Enjoy your summer Sherry. Until next time.😊
i love the cloche. it was perfect timeing to have found a butterfly and bee to add. it looks amazing.

I have a collection of blue and white china too. I loved seeing the vintage lamp with the doily shade in the new vignette you created with the granny chic chair. I enjoyed this video so much! You are a genius, and I love your sense of style!
I love your blue dishes! Especially the Dutch pieces! We went to Aruba, Bon Aire and Curaçao in January. My husband bought several pieces for our collection!
Love all these items! No I don't think bee and butterfly is weird. The old lamp up or down is amazing ! Just add a rock !!! Love it....
You 🤯my mind! The cloche, the marble lamp useable 2 ways,your staging-of mantle !!! You just find the most interesting pieces to create. I love, love your channel❤❤

Wow, thank you! I love that you both watch. My husband only watches my videos because he’s my husband! I really appreciate your kind comments and your support!😊
I automatically give you a thumbs up because I know your videos are going to be epic!
Love the lamp with glass cover!
I loved the vivarium! Very dark acedemia and not weird at all!
I liked the old lamp base upside down with the plant. Great work!
The old copper lamp is just beautiful transformation!
Thank you, Gloria! I’m really happy with that project, too!
I just want to live in your home, please. I can never choose a favorite because everything you create is a masterpiece!
Love your videos! You have a beautiful home, and your creativity blows me away!
Thank you so much, Cindy! 😊
I love the cloche and the marble lamp with the faux greenery.
Oh my goodness, I love the first one the close with the butterfly and the bumblebee that is so clever❤
The cloche is awesome. I’m trying to incorporate more vintage, English country to my home now.
As always you are an inspiration. I look forward to you every Monday. Thank you!
Your creativity and eye for style is unmatched Sherry!! My vote on the cracked marble = upside down as a candlestick. Great collection of ideas!!
I love everything, but especially the cloche. Finding and adding the butterfly and bee takes it over the top! I like the marble lamp base with the plant. I wish I had your level of imagination to repurpose thrifted items.😊

Oh, thank you so much! 😊 I’m so glad you enjoy my videos!

Someone took an old treadle sewing machine cabinet and made it into a small vanity, I would loved to have bought it but I truly have no space for it. It is a fantastic idea if you ever run across a cabinet.
A real butterfly? A real bumblebee? Get outta here!😁 The Victorian cloche is fantastic.❤🦋🐝❤ Love red transferware.
Absolutely love all of your creativity when you thrift flip that cloche using that oil lamp was absolutely spectacular😊
That real bee and butterfly were so beautiful. My favorite, if I have to choose. Everything you did in this video turned out amazing. Your videos are the best part of my Mondays.
Oh, Shelly, that is so very sweet of you! Thank you!
Sherry, you always inspire me. However I don’t have the creativity you have so I just have to be satisfied with watching your videos.
I envy your ability to create such gorgeous vignettes! Wow!
I found a cast iron hurricane lamp base. I also found a shade frame….gonna make one of your wandering vines and bird creations! Yay!
Love your cloche and I liked the marble piece both ways. Oh yeah, you nailed it again. Love your changes. 😊❤ have a wonderful week.
Thank you, Margaret! You too!
I think you can make a flower arrangement out of anything. Everything was so cool today .i liked the marble lamp upright best. Thank you dear Sherry for your inspiration.
Thank you! 😊 (My son told me the other day that I was really good at arranging “plants and moss and stuff.” High praise coming from him!😜)
I’ll be looking for an old anniversary clock with glass cover at the thrift stores so I can try a vivarium. So many wonderful ideas, as usual Sherry!
You’re one of the best portions of my week ! Always enjoy you and your creativity !
I so enjoy your videos. You are a very talented woman. You find and up-cycle so many items that I would love in my home.
Thank you so much, Anna!
I really liked them all...the "real" butterfly surprised me..but it's perfect...and the "bee" that's a Canterbury Cottage 1st I think???!!!❤❤😊😊
Sherry, your videos always give me SO much to mull over! Your first piece was my favorite today, but it is always hard to choose. I am going to start looking over very vintage and antique advertising to see what looks unusual in a good way like you did with the cloche. Thanks for another great video!
Oh, my goodness! I loved the viverium! I have been trying to turn a corner of my den into a dark academia area. That viverium would be perfect! Now, I’m on the hunt for an old oil lamp!
Oh, I hope you find one! I am really pleased with mine, and I am hoping to find another interesting insect to add-hopefully, a moth!
You are amazing, always make me happy when I watch your videos and today I was much needed. Again thank you 🤗💐🐾
I think it’s time I gather my odds and ends to create something new and unique. Thank you for te inspiration.
I think it’s time, too! I bet you have some interesting odds and ends!
Good luck to you! I tried and even said, what would Sherry do. That didn't help me. Maybe you'll have better luck!!😊
Using a butterfly that Edgar found and a bumble bee from the window - THAT is resourceful and creative!
Great tips on how to combine and arrange otherwise disparate items. I admire the treasures you manage to find in your area; "slim pickens" around here...
Look forward to your video every week!! Your ideas and creativity are just the best 😊
Thank you so much!! What a kind thing to say, Judy!
Your ideas are always inspiring and I enjoy ‘hearing you’ too. I’m quite sure with your soothing speaking cadence and beautiful enunciation, your students loved you too! You’re still teaching!
Oh, thank you! I know that I talk rather slowly, so I really appreciate the kind comments about my voice!
The cloche is perfect! I love the use of the (expired) bee and butterfly. It’s a great teaching opportunity if you have young children around.
I love everything in this video! You are so creative. And you make it look like anyone can do it. Thank you!
Oh wow I love how you used that cloche!! Beautiful!!
Your Victorian remake cloche and really everything you do is sooo creative.
I personally love everything you have done Thanks for sharing ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
All were amazing! I liked the marble lamp best with the greenery!
The cloche is super cool!!! I love it! And Sherry my friend you are absolutely AMAZING!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Everything is absolutely beautiful Sherry! I love the cloche, creative, one of a kind! Your passion shows in all you do, amazing! ❤️🥰
Absolutely look forward to you posting your weekly video. The vivarium is absolutely beautiful!
Oh, thank you so much!
True words…if you love it, you’ll find a way to use it! I’m not a fan of colonial vintage, however, I have a piece I bought because it spoke to me! It comes out every Christmas when it most suits my mood.

Love the lamp make over!
This was so good I think my brain exploded! 🤯 I love old domes and terrariums. My two sons tease me and call me the Dome Queen. I have one that is over 3 foot tall. Haven’t decided what to do with it yet. Teased my grand daughter when she was little and told her I was going to put her in it. (It didn’t scare her because she knows her gammy is silly) 😝😜🤪😂🤣

I loved the cloche not odd at all !
Not weird at all! It's dreamy! (The cloche)
And I have a cemetery window too😮.
Sherry, I love all the little touches that are so you. They remind me of my favorite Aunt who passed 2 year's ago. I was very excited for you when I saw the s&p and that beautiful flask. I always think of you whenever I see any Delft or any blue and white pottery. I absolutely love your reading nook, that chair is perfect ❤.
Oh, thank you, Lola! I was in a little privately owned thrift store, and she had all her salt and pepper shakers marked $3! I wondered if she knew they were real Delft.
Love your vivarium!
Love your home and your motto! It's always been mine..."If you love it, you'll find a place for it"! I recently heard a statement that would fit your home and mine..."the home has accumulated objects and stories as it went along like barnacles on an old ship".
Gosh you are so creative! I just love seeing all that you recreate!
Sherry Thank you so much for all of these ideas & tips!! I always loo forward to your videos.
The lamp,I'd put fairy lights in a round globe and set on top❤🤷♀️ very pretty how you did it as well ❤❤❤
Oh, Wanda, I love that idea! I need to look for a globe shaped glass bowl!
You’re right, Sherry, I’m ready to go thrifting again and this time, look for unique items to display and repurpose in my home! I love the cocker spaniel print! I have been picking up hunting dog figurines for my mantle! I sure hope I come across some nice prints like yours! I don’t think using dead bugs in your decor ( that sounds funny, doesn’t it😂) is weird. I love that idea! Only butterflies and bees, though! I find dead flies all the time but not very attractive! Thanks for the grand ideas! Love you videos!
i love the victorians they were wacky and weird ❤
Sherry, The vivarium you created is pure happiness for me! Love the look, love the project!! A bumble bee in your window sill? Only you!!!❤Fantastic video with lots of inspiration!!
Thank you, Beth! Would you believe that I found a second dead bumble bee in the window? I don’t know what is going on or where they are coming from!
I love the vivarium. Great job on all the styling! Thanks for the tips.
You are so welcome! Thank you!
Great tips and examples!
I, too, love Delft pieces.
