Thank you thank you thank you! Very very ENJOYABLE video! You are the BEST!!! Much love & appreciation. ♥️💕🎄💕♥️

I love the idea of aging teddy bears ! I have my big teddy bear from my first christmas & he is so worn, beings had him since christmas 1962 in Germany . My dad was in the army & my parents first yrs of their marriage was in Germany. At first there was no room on the base & they rented a apartment from a german family (actually the german family lived in the house) but part had apartment where mom & dad lived. I have few pictures of that christmas of the tree and the bear - the bear has followed me thru so many many moves in my childhood (dad retired in 1975) & then I have moved many times in my adult yrs. But i still have my bear.

I quilted by hand until my fingers gave out. I wish I had something I made but made for gifts. My friend Susan makes the most beautiful machine quilted things you've ever seen.

Thanks for all of the idea s ❤️❤️

i love the lamp story. those type of things happen to me often and i always call it a God thing. Like any father He likes to surprise his children with gifts I thank God everything it occurs

If more people could see the world through your eyes, the world would be a better place. My wish is your Christmas collections/home could be published in a book so we could sit and thumb through it. I really look forward to your videos.

This is the first time I have watched and I enjoyed it very much. My husband grew up on a farm here in Iowa and his Mom, Grandmas and Aunts all hand quilted. There are many younger ones who quilt now and many still hand quilt. It is such a beautiful old tradition.

New subscriber here. What a treat to find you & all your beautiful treasures! I enjoyed it all so much & look forward to more.

Oh my! You and Bridget are my favorite! If you haven’t contacted her you should. She would love to see and hear about what you do. Enjoy every second of your videos. I cried when you talked about the lamp. Thank you, your videos are a special blessing to me.

Very lovely vignettes steeped in rich culture, love how you create individuality

I have a basket addiction and I love it ❤️❤️❤️❤️

New subscriber here. Really enjoyed this video. I'm opening an antique store in Texas come next fall. Have been renovating an 1880s building now for two years. Thanks for the inspiration, and am thrilled that you found your lamp!

I NEVER tire of whatever you share with us so don’t ever stop showing us anything old, primitive or made to look primitive. I find your channel so inspiring and already watch Anne and Bridgette. While I like a lot of different things I am not a minimalist and mix and match primitive with cut glass with basketry with pictures and on and on and on. Your visits are just so therapeutic for my heavy heart. Heavy with Hunny’s health issues but I find ways to distract from all that and when “I’m home” comes to my inbox…I’m so ready to stop whatever I’m doing and grab a glass or cup of tea and let you take me to a time that I so miss. Thanks for sharing all your ideas and treasures!!!:):):)

Love your style, creativity, and most of all...your loving heart and soul! I believe that lamp IS ABSOLUTELY YOUR FAMILY HEIRLOOM! My instincts tell me it was "found" by your grandma and mother...and manifested for your own special "Christmas miracle". I dont believe in coincidences or accidents...I believe in guardian angels, God's Grace...and a love so strong that it truly never dies. Enjoy that special "family gift" and know this was a special, personal Christmas blessing that was granted by God!

Love this video so much. Like a previous post, I wish everyone could see things through your eyes. You inspire me and I am looking at my own things differently. The teddy bears look very prim and I love that little chair. ❤️🥰

The little drawer item is a spice rack. I have my grandmothers and it has a double shelf with the two drawers, none of the original jars though. I need to go thrifting with you because my area they're very very proud of their free donated items....lol!! So happy for you that you found the lamp. God blesses us with the joys of our heart!

The Cape on the Corner is another great prim and antiques KZfaq channel! Gabriella Moir travels all around Ohio where I would love to go antiquing!!

Every new video of yours is my favorite! I love the crafting ideas you show (I’m definitely doing the bear transformation!) and your lamp story brought tears to my eyes. I am definitely a maximalist and while I don’t have many pieces from my family, I buy other family’s treasures when thrifting or antiquing! I have several of Susan Wagoner’s vintage-y Christmas books and love looking through them this time of year-they bring back a lot of memories! Merry Christmas to you and your family and once again, thank you for the beautiful photos of your life!

This is by far my favorite video of yours yet! So many wonderful ideas❤❤. Our home is done very primitive and I tell people all of the time that it doesn’t have to be expensive antiques. Back in those days they made do with what they had, made repair after repair and those antiques are still here 150 years later. Like you said with your awesome bears that I love, until you can afford those expensive antique bears, there’s nothing wrong with reproductions or hand made items. So many ask how I afford all these antiques. I don’t and can’t, many are things I’ve made like you do, thrifted, etc. I thrift for curtain panels to make pillow covers, old cross stitch that are done and coffee stain them and thrift frames for them. Those little wooden spoons are very hard to find, they’re salt spoon! You are amazingly talented and so enjoyed this❤❤. You manifested your beautiful lamp❤❤❤.Merry Christmas from our home in upstate New York to yours♥️🌲♥️ Debby

I’ve never seen that particular Santa mug.. love it

This video is so enjoyable! I need to watch again. You give so many ideas & i love all that you do in your home. Yes - i do watch Bridget & Anne's utube channels - love them. I first found Anne then later found Bridget & was so happy when found your channel more recently. Thanks for this great video! MERRY CHRSTMAS

Oh Marcy, I enjoy your videos so much!!!! I had tears when you talked of finding the "Family Lamp"!!!! God blesses us in so many ways!! May your Christmas continue on with continued blessings!

Such a lovely video 🙏🏻🌲🌲☃️⛄️❄️❄️ ❤ Love your decor and thrift find 💕

I have two of those lamps like your mother's. They are beautiful. One was my aunt's and the other was a gift from my sister-in-law. Love them! I'm so glad you found one to replace your mom's.

I love that doll come santa that looked like mark twain first... I laughed. Inspiring video. First time watching. I do this staging scenes like you do. But I'm still inspired by what you can do more. Photographs on form. ❤

What a wonderful video full of beauty! I enjoyed seeing my pics of the items you gifted me. So blessed by your friendship over the years! How wonderful you found your lamp!! The story brought tears to my eyes. So happy for you! 💓

Awesome channel! So glad I found you!

Hello from California! You have the best thrift stores! I never find the goodies you find!

I was so fortunate to find your video tonight, I have thoroughly enjoyed it, it has become an instant favorite, so many many wonderful tips and I love the way you have decorated, You have taken ordinary items and made them elegant, Your voice and presentation is so Beautiful also . I am so thankful for your Christmas Miracle bin finding your lamp .I could feel your joy, I am sure it was yours also, you felt such a connection.. God bless you, have a very Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year

I wouldn't cut the wood rack with drawers apart. I would use the top as a plate or wood bowl rack with the two little drawers at the bottom. That would so cute and easy!

Love seeing all the things you find. I would like to see you age an item in each episode. It gets a bit overwhelming seeing so many items in a row. It would be fun to see how things can be blended with antiques.

Iam doing both machine and hand quilt love it❤

I love the transfer ware bowls!

Merry Christmas! 🎄 I’m 100% in agreement regarding hand quilting vs machine quilting. I’m also from a family of quilters. Have a wonderful Holiday!

Thankyou for sharing your video with us. I have subscribed.

Enjoyed your tour and the stories. I'm a quilt purist, also. It is frustrating to see a machine-quilted quilt labeled "handmade." I did open up a new sewing machine and piece together two little doll quilts for my granddaughters this week. I haven't used a sewing machine since 1982, so I felt like I'd earned a purple heart at the very least and thought that the machine would make a superb military training activity to put soldiers in the right mindset for battle. I threaded that needle a minimum of 20 times, and I was sure I could have sewn it faster by hand. But I wanted to see if I knew how to use a machine and thought straight lines was a good place to start, although some were less straight than others. :) I still have to finish hand-quilting the quilt I'm making for my daughter. I was dumb and picked a complex pattern. It's like when I was asked to paint my brother's dog, and I finally delivered the painting after the dog had died. I'm just going to have to stick to it and get it done. Lastly, if you go to Bing Image Creator, you can use AI.... Type in "a vintage illustration of..." and the picture you want, and you can create your own vintage images. You will probably need to count fingers, arms, and legs, and I have noticed that sometimes it doesn't matter if you say "a single," or two, or four, you'll get however many of an item it feels like, and if you say "a woman," don't be surprised if it ignores you even when you try to clarify with "a female woman lady without facial hair." If you say "bunnies," ears might be sprouting from anything and everything. Sometimes it looks a bit like some of Mengele's test subjects. You can click "customize" and delete some things that are where they shouldn't be, like toys on the sidewalk OUTSIDE of the toy shop, which is easier than removing snow on the mantel inside. Sometimes I think the AI is a tad dense and other times maybe just messing with me. Still, it's fun to see the images come to life. I am hoping to use some "vintage" images for decoupage.

I bought another “Christmas Memories” book by Susan Waggoner…I’m not sure about Susan but my grandparents name was Waggoner and I bought another book for Caylor my granddaughter ❤

I enjoy your videos so much, it feels like a special treat when you post one! Merry Christmas 🎄

Thank you so much. Enjoy everything. Merry Christmas to you and your lovely family.

New subscriber watching from Tennessee ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Love your vignettes!

I love you lamp 😊

Merry Christmas to you And your family and friends 🙏💕🎄❤️

Really enjoyed this video! Merry Christmas!

Just found you 😊. Love your creativity.. Thanks for sharing your ideas.❤❤❤

You could put a potted plant or fern in the hole of the potty chair❤

I just found you, first time watching and subscribed. Lovely video!

spice rack. My Mom had one just like it

You’ve found some very inexpensive treasures. I think your apron is vintage probably a hostess apron that only would have been to serve on special occasions.

The 2 tiny spoons are mustard spoons

I think hour apron is called redwork. It's an old technique.

Just subscribed. Do you give tours of your home. Would love to see it.

What material did you use to make the Santa's beard/hair?

Woah!! the first ever transgender santa!!

Put a plant in the potty chair

Contact a quilt guild near you and they will give you names of machine quilters.

Perhaps you need to open your eyes to other forms of art…quilting is art, no matter hand or machine…..that is like saying only oil painting is art and not water colors or acrylic…..people ….just not true!!

All that beautiful stuff that you have fake greenery around sticks out like a sore thumb. Go cut you some real greenery!!!
