+Bemyguestwithdenise Denise Cooper After this video crashed twice I was about to say FORGET it...but I knew you and Melanie would have been mad...lol. Girl, I have always had a thing for wheat....I think it is so simple...yet beautiful. Well you know I think all natural things are beautiful. Oh, you like my ombre nails...my nail technician suggested I try something new. You know I had to go for the blush and copper combination...lol. It's different but I don't know if I'll get it again. xooxoxox

+Shelley Meyers Sounds like a beautiful kitchen. I too remember where and when and with whom I was with when I purchased most of my pieces. Such great memories make for great stories. When someone asks me about a piece that I purchased I always have a good story to tell :) I loooove to hunt for things. It took me 11 years to find the exact kitchen garbage can that I conjured up in my head. I absolutely love throwing away garbage now...lol.

+Pamela Ruth Awww, thanks. What a beautiful compliment. I am so glad you enjoyed the video. Hopefully I can encourage someone that there is beauty all around us and it doesn't have to cost much. Sometimes the most beautiful things in life are free :)

(: It is a good thing, and sometimes not .... I started collecting early, and some people decided to take advantage of helping themselves to some real good pieces I had!!!!! ... :( Some things just have to be locked up!!!!! But you can still enjoy getting pieces little by little now!!!!! ... 😚☺

@@verikeri2849 (: I'm with you .... You don't have to break the bank for tableware, decorations, etc ... ☺ I have Dollar Tree glasses too and other items and they look just as good as any high priced items .... ☺ In fact I have seen high priced things that I would not even buy for a dollar!!!!! ... lol ... 😚

Awww thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video.

+Mimi Cole Awwwww, what a huge compliment. Truth be told, I think this is my favorite tablescape of all time. I have always loved the lion head collection, and finally after 2 years of hunting, I have all the pieces :)

+Pam Kerr Awww thanks for such a lovely comment :)

+marie watson Awww thanks! I know what you mean about those "Get the Look for Less" shows. I am so glad you enjoyed the video so much that you will be sharing it with your friends. I really appreciate that. Have a Happy Holiday Season.

+MyBeloved4Ever Awww thanks for such a sweet comment. I am glad you enjoyed the video :)

+Witchy Subversive Awww, thanks!

+Theblackbumblebee ! Thanks! I looooove my copper wine opener. Glad you enjoyed the video since you were patiently waiting for a few days....hopefully I didn't disappoint and you got a few tips for the upcoming Holidays :)

Veri Keri I seriously have withdraws, lol...haha...I know you KZfaq celebs are busy so l understand but we can't get enough..I'm looking forward to new challenges such as what would Kerri do, I know we all have different taste but I think you can still help us ambitious home decorators, mothers, and wives...I need help with making my hair products look pretty..lol..The bubble bath or mouthwash in decorative bottles are one of "ALL"my favorite videos on your chanel..Thank you for responding # many blessings pretty lady

+The Lioness Lane Aww thanks! I loooooove dishes....any kind of dish....and I love creating tablescapes. Thanks for the compliment on the nails....my nail technician suggested I try something new. I had never heard of ombre or gradient nails before, but I am liking the new look :) Take care.

+James Werner Thanks!! It's always cool to get a male perspective on my videos! (I hope this is a man, but if you happen to be a lady....sorry...lol)

+Living Luxuriously for Less Girrrl, make up your mind....do you want commercials or sitcoms?? You and Denise both have been begging me to cut the time on my videos....now you want a weekly sitcom...lol!!! So glad you enjoyed the video. Now just because I compare apples to apples.....it doesn't mean I won't end up buying the orange. I need to know WHY something costs more...is there a valid reason like superior quality and/or materials. Or are they just charging more to cover marketing fees....lol.

+AMATEUR DECORATING LIKE A PRO Here you go...got me grinning from ear to ear. Boy do you know how to make a person feel good :) You know I get just as much excitement as you all when my tablescapes come together. I have know idea how they will turn out. I just start playing with my dishes and then somehow something magical appears. The only thing that I purchased to complete the tablescape was the wheat....everything else I already had.

+Aminada DNIEMBE Thanks! I am glad you liked the video.

+sharon Kenney Awww, thanks!! I really appreciate you supporting my channel, it means a lot to me.

+Bridgett Owens Awww thanks!! Building your collection over time is the best way to go :)

Awww thanks!

+Peggyann Smith Awww, thanks! I looove ironstone....have a few ironstone soup tureens in my stash. I mostly get mine from thrift stores. Glad you are inspired to go pick up some dupes. It doesn't cost much, as a matter fact sometimes it costs nothing at all to be surrounded by beauty. I hope your Holiday table turns out fabulous....but I mostly hope that you truly enjoy the day with those that you care about....now that's beautiful.

+DIM DT Awww, thanks! I am so happy to have found them.....and when I saw the $6.99 price tag I almost darn near fainted. I thought to myself this cannot possibly be right. Glad you are enjoying my videos.

+Styled by Dana Thanks! Wasn't that price difference something else :)

+MY LIFE FULL OF HOPE Thanks! I am pleased with how everything turned out also. I am just as surprised as my viewers are because I have no idea what the final reveal will look like until I am done. I just play with my dishes until everything comes together just the way I like it :)

+Kathleen Howard (LiveLoveCHXBeach) Awww, thanks! What a huge compliment. You should find a great selection at great prices in Homegoods, TJMAXX, and Marshalls. You can't get any simpler with the paper napkin ring. This was the first time I tried the ombre nails. My nail technician told me that I needed to spice things up a bit and stop being so conservative. She suggested ombre nails....so I picked two of my favorite colors....blush and copper. I love the way they turned out but the process took twice as long as normal. I get what's called SNS/ANC dipping powder. Have you ever tried that before?

+Terri Trujillo Awww, thanks! I am so glad that you found my videos both informative and beautiful.....that is my goal for this channel :) Have a great weekend.

+Monique Johnson Thanks, I am so glad you enjoyed the video. I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

+Burnetta Allen I was thinking the same thing when I saw that menu!! We use the divide and conquer method as well. Collectively we typically spend hundreds of dollars on our family Thanksgiving gathering...that is why when I saw that article I was thinking....NO WAY!! We kick off Thanksgiving in the afternoon and "graze" all day until well into the night. We have several appetizers, several meat choices and a slew of desserts, drinks (both alcoholic and nonalcoholic)....and don't forget the leftovers. I noticed the Farmers Association's menu didn't even include mac-n-cheese....what is any Holiday meal without mac-n-cheese?? My husband's mac-n-cheese cost $40 (he uses so many different types of cheese). They also only had milk and coffee as the beverages....really?? Looks like I am going to have to be very strategic. Also, with a $50 budget....I will be losing 10 lbs instead of gaining 10 lbs because we won't be able to get a second helping....and Lord knows there will be no leftovers...lol.

+292teacher Awww thanks! Isn't that price difference jaw dropping. I am glad that you find my videos informative :)

+GiGi West Girlfriend....if all you did was spill something.....I would call the evening a success. A party isn't a party until someone spills or breaks something.....and believe me we PAR-TAY over in these parts....do not ....I repeat DO NOT let a pretty table fool you.....that is why I have to buy everything on the cheap....so that I can replace it...lol. So glad that you liked the video.

+BeLinda Peeples Awww, thanks!! I am glad you liked it!

Awwww, thanks.

+Angel Christian Awwww, thanks!

+wildforesable You are so welcome!! It is so funny that you wrote this comment. I am working on a video on that very subject....spending money and not having anything to show for it :)

+Erin Michiels Awww, thanks! I am glad you liked my tablescape.

+ShimiChic Aww thanks! I am glad you enjoyed the video.

+Jeska B Welcome to my channel and I am so glad that you are enjoying yourself. I hope you stay awhile....I would be even more elated if you subscribed :)

Awwww, thanks! This is one of my favorite tablescapes.

+Socialmediaoverload THANKS!!

+PhenomenallyFlyDiva4 Awwww, I hope you are doing well y friend.

+TheFoxybrown7119 Awwww, thanks!! I am glad you liked the manicure. My nail technician suggested that I do something different...she said that I am too conservative with my nails. She suggested I do the ombre or gradient nail technique. So I chose two of my favorite colors blush and copper. I like the way they turned out...quite different from what I am used to wearing but I like it for a change. I hope your weekend is off to a great start.

+giney Cynical Awww thanks! Growing up, my family was just the opposite. We didn't have any fancy formal serving pieces during the Holidays...and by no means was there ever a tablescape. Our entire family on my mother's side would get together. Each family brought a dish. Some of the food stayed in the pot on the stove and some was on the eat-in kitchen table complete with aluminum foil and all. We had paper plates and cups. After blessing the food we lined up in a single file line and made our plates. To be honest....it didn't even matter that nothing was coordinated....the best part was that "Our Family" was together. The home was filled with love, laughter, games, stories....the things you truly remember. The kids don't remember the exact layout of a fancy tablescape.....but they certainly will remember and tell stories for years to come about how they had to wash all those dishes. I didn't start my love of "coordinated" entertaining until I graduated college and started my professional career. I was introduced to a whole new world of "professionals" and I saw how they did things....and to be honest I really liked it. I was hooked. I am passionate about social graces and entertaining. I love setting beautiful tables. But... what I totally despise are stuffy, stuck-up, snooty, "think you are better than" types that often come along with those that host these kinds of affairs. xoxoxoxo

+Veri I dislike snobbery as well. You're right, the most important thing is being with your loved ones, enjoying the meal and having a great time ..ENJOY

+Shante Vega Thanks! I am glad you liked the video!!

+LaClaire S Awww thanks!

Awww thanks!

+sharon cresenzi Thanks!! You are not alone.....we typically spend hundreds also...that is why when I saw that article I was thinking....NO WAY!!

+Bobbie I love that place too. There used to be one about 10 minutes from where I live. It closed down about 10 years ago. Now I have to drive about an hour to the nearest one. I only get there about 3 times a year.

+SHANNON MARTIN I am so glad I finally completed my collection :)

+Pamela Brown Awww thanks!

+Our Home Our Haven Thanks!! So glad you enjoyed the video.

+PrettyNflawed Awwwww, thanks! Glad you liked the video...this one almost did not make the cut....this video crashed my computer twice during editing.

+awesomeskylineally Isn't it eye opening when you do the math! I am glad that you enjoyed the video.

+dabosslady76cs Hey girl....thanks! I am glad you liked the video.

+cooldesert30 Awww, thanks!

+bosslady1598 Thanks!

+Socialmediaoverload I am so glad that I finally have a complete set of the lion dish ware. It is very smart to collect a few extra. If I break one I just end up either mixing and matching or using the set for my eat in kitchen that has setting for 4 persons. I have to limit myself to sets of 4 or 8 because in case you haven't noticed I have a slight addiction to all things dish related and I have to make sure I have the space to store everything. Oh I SWEAR by Dollar Tree glasses. I actually did a video on the basic Dollar Tree glasses everyone should own. I have the blue and olive green champagne glasses and the olive green martini glasses as well. I bet your tablescape is going to turn out gorgeous.

+VirtuousLdy Awwww, thanks!

+sexyellex Awwww, thanks!

+Jaime Thomas (Decordream) Thanks, I am so glad you enjoyed it :)

+Kelley Baker Awww, thanks! Your comment put a smile on my face :)

Aww thanks! I am currently working on this years Thanksgiving tablescape. Out theme is called "Hunted and Gathered"...it's going to be like a woodland type theme complete with an Apple Bar where I will feature Apple flavored drinks, a caramel apple bar and some "Apple"tizers :)

+Wayotankè You are welcome.
