I have learned so much about appreciating my (1968) mobile home from you. I spent a great many years being embarrassed of my house, in this age of big, beautiful McMansions. Which is what I left to come to our property. 😂 But your absolute joy in your home, and unabashed openness and willingness to share it have encouraged me greatly. Thank you, friend! 💕

[@debsmith1936]

Minimalism teaches to only keep items that “Spark Joy” and your items do that. Your lifestyle could be considered Minimalist 🙂❤️🙂

[@HomesteadTessie]

Love that!

[@mghtymffn]

yes, i was going to say the same thing and I have tons of books too!!! The key is not buying things that you don't need, or keeping up with the jones. I love my home and i'm just as sentimental as Tessie and I still consider myself a mimalist.

[@cindystudenc98]

Tessie your home is so lovely, cozy and peaceful. I agree with you I could not be a minimalist either. You have a use for every item that you own and you are right where God planted you! What a ministry you have in blessing all of us with your teaching. I for one am so grateful. May you have sweet dreams and healing sleep tonight. 🙏😇🦋🥰

[@HomesteadTessie]

Cindy thank you !

[@hollyh9334]

For some reason yesterday I was picturing myself walking from room to room in my great-grandmother's home. She died when I was 16, way back in the late 70's, but I remember how "homey" her home felt. I wish I could talk to her now that I'm an adult. I want to learn from her now, but she's gone. I have to rely on memories of visiting her. God bless, dearheart. Enjoy your treasures and teach your children and grandkids about them now while you can.

[@coffeecupconversations]

I think if you use it, it is not clutter. I did think that growing up minimalist was not great. Now, I know it was not that bad. I have a son and husband who are OCD hoarders, keeping stuff that just sits there, never gets used, never gets shared. I clean the house, and it is depressing to have huge sections of my home that I can't use and I don't want others to see.

[@Benshe100]

What a sweet soul you have. The world needs more people with your heart. God Bless You!

[@karenallen919]

I was blessed with 3-4 generations of photographs when my mother sold her home. I have a bit of furniture to jog memories of us thrifting together to find them. These memory triggers are especially precious since my mom went to the Lord.

[@pattycake8272]

I would feel at home more in your house than someone's who just bought all their stuff from a show room floor, I have been in houses like that. I think "what's their personalities, what do they really like?" that's what I should be seeing.

Thanks so much! 😊

[@maureendietz622]

I love your home. I always say my kitchen is a working kitchen. It's not for show. The appliances are all used. Your home shows who you are and it's as lovely as you Tessie.

[@kesmarn]

As my Mom would have said: "Your home glows." That's the best way I can think of to describe it. Everything is in order and polished and artistically arranged. So inviting!

[@lisaryherd4685]

Tessie, I luv the fact that you utilize every room in your home fir practical purposes!!!

[@juto4825]

Thanks for the tour, Tessie. I love visiting you in your cozy, warm home. ♥️

[@terririccardi2194]

A lovely home. So lucky to have family items that you can pass down to your children. Photo are a important part of family. The younger generation needs to know about there ancestors. Keep smiling sweetie xoxo

[@nancybrooks9246]

Tessie, your home is beautiful. The glow in your home reflects your soul. You have come along way and you can tell where your heart is. Beautiful... thanks for inviting us in your personal space..😍💐🙏

[@susanlester1]

Super cozy, comfortable and cute! Things are going to get tough, you will need your many supplies!

[@luraemerick7567]

I would rather live in a cozy home like yours any day than to live in a minimalist home.

[@glendabyford8074]

Tess I’m the same way! We use my grandmas plates daily.. I grew up eating on these plates and then my children.. there is so many great meals and memories from those plates. We have the rocker that my hubby’s mom rocked my hubby in.. everything in my home are either from family dear friends or thrift store finds. I can count on one hand the number of new items!

[@ashleybosvik3031]

Your home looks very inviting and has that warm feeling

[@HomesteadTessie]

thank you !

[@decoy8645]

You have a very rich heritage, one that deserves to be held onto and cherished. Memories are all we have of those who have left us and I’m so grateful for all the paintings and ceramics, etc that my mother did. They are all over my home, My husband has finally come around about my prepping ( this past spring/summer convinced him I wasn’t wasting money on food he thought we didn’t need) and now I’m trying to convince him about the importance of things I have from mom. He is a minimalist, obviously I’m not. He’ll come around eventually. If not he’s just going to have to adapt. It comforts me to enjoy the memories she left me. Your home is a warm inviting treasure , never forget that.

[@HomesteadTessie]

thank you !

[@michellebartel]

Thank you for opening your home. It is so warm and welcoming.

[@ruthgoddard6539]

I am not a minimalust either. Your homecis beautiful. I cannot imagine not having my photos. Not just my kids and grankuds but of parents and granparents.I love my copper pieces and I love a cozy home. Yours is so loved

Tessie, you and I are actually a lot alike, I love family items and love to do what I can to pass down how to feed your family by gardening and canning. I pray God continues to bless you and your family

[@catsmeow8504]

Nice you are very sentimental Tessie. I feel the opposite I get upset at the thought of seeing antiques but the people are dead. I find it depressing.

[@HomesteadTessie]

I totally understand ! everyone has there own style !

[@RS-ov2st]

Tessie, it’s been a while. Revisiting some of your older videos. I just want to say how very much I love your home, gardening, canning and helpfulness. You are such an inspiration. I love visiting your way of living. Keep it going. You are definitely a blessing to us all.🕊☀️

[@gailfox6791]

Hello Tessie! Your childhood home is beautiful. I couldn't be a minimalist either. My home is cozy, surrounded with memories of loved ones passed on. Have a beautiful blessed day.

[@NancyTroutman]

Minimalism strikes me as cold and uncaring. I much prefer a life "cluttered" with people and memories spread everywhere in my house.

[@MTknitter22]

Well there is minimalism and then there is MINIMALISM. Some who simply prefer clutter may call organized attractive tidiness sterile and minimal. So the word means different things to different people.

[@marcelhetu3325]

A few years ago we bought a mobile home for our daughter to live in to save money for a new home they wanted to build. If I could give you a suggestion, it would be to put on a peaked roof and shingles. We did that and it sure saved the inside from a lot of potential water damage and because of that it added even more years to someone living there afterwards not to mention when we sold it added value. Your home is so lovely inside and I connect with you on the joy it gives you to see older things that bring memories to warm your heart. Take care keep smiling. Your Canadian girlfriend

[@HomesteadTessie]

Thank you so much we have a peak Roof and we do have shingles we put a new roof on 2 years ago

[@marcelhetu3325]

Sorry Tessie I guess I couldn’t tell because of the trees, or my bad eyesight. Good for you it’s a life saver.

[@rayniemi5864]

Everyone has a different idea about minimalism. Some would say you are a minimalist because you only keep the things that you use and that spark joy. 💜

[@HomesteadTessie]

So true!

[@MGS566]

What can I say that has already been said? Thank you so much for inviting us all with a peak of your beautiful home. I’ll be checking out your Christmas viral video next, Gods bless!❤️✝️

[@HomesteadTessie]

thank you !

[@reginakasakevics7891]

I love your cute home Tessie. It’s my age exactly, but it doesn’t look that old to me. I love how you have furnished it. It’s so homey. I like all those little extra spaces you have like the pantry, the root pantry and the greenhouse and potting shed. It’s like a curiosity shop. I love it. ❤️

[@fourdayhomestead2839]

I love your home tour. All those precious things inside. The people want big houses & lots of "things", will someday realize those "things without history" mean absolutely nothing! You are Blessed Tessie!

[@owen4248]

Tessie I love to have things especially old things like my old radios I like to look at them and play them as well as other old items:) I'm not a hoarder either:) I just like to have these things from yesteryear :) As long as they are neatly displayed :)

[@MamaGypsysCaravan]

You have a very nice home Tessie. I agree minimalism isn't totally for me either. I do try to pare down some things, but it's hard to let other items go. I think the baskets hanging from the ceiling is a cozy touch. Also, no such thing as going overboard when it comes to prepping food for your family. I love your pantry as well. Thank you for sharing with us!

[@owen4248]

Good evening

[@MamaGypsysCaravan]

@@owen4248 Good evening to you!

[@MsKittyGirl2010]

Its ok to hold onto and love items. Most hold cherished memories, history.

[@tammyholt8861]

Your home is so pretty and I love the way you have you antiques and treasures displayed in your home. I am not a minimalist either!!😊

[@HomesteadTessie]

Thank you so much!

[@MindysPlace]

I have to agree, I enjoy my stuff, especially the things that once belonged to my grandma. A tour through my home is much like yours, a story for each of the things that mean something to me. My style might not be for everyone, but it is for me, and I really enjoy changing my decor with every season and making videos of my home.

[@clairlong2495]

Your home is beautiful and I love old things too

[@HomesteadTessie]

thank you !

[@janicegrogg9710]

I love the old things from family💕☺️

[@nancyjames9471]

Your home is lovely. So warm and welcoming filled with so many things that connect you to your family. There is nothing better.

[@annettethomas2770]

Whenever I see excess I always think ..."the son of God didn't have a place to lay his head. Your place is humble, full of grace and is a real home!

[@tracynewton1208]

I like the way you think!! I love antiques and literally everything in my home has a story, from my night stand that came over the Oregon Trail in a covered wagon to my dining set that came from my husband's folks. Each item has a story and a happy, comforting memory. When my grandkids come over and ask what my 1800s victrola is, or does, it's a mini lesson in history!

[@HomesteadTessie]

Love that!

[@pjl2963]

Thanks for inviting us into your home, Tessie. So cozy and inviting...you may have a lot of "stuff", as you said, but it always seems to be so orderly and neat as a pin! Love all the vintage keepsakes from the past

[@pamelabrida945]

Tessie we are truly kindred spirits! I am definitely not a minimalist either- especially when it comes to books! My children often tell me I have so many books I could probably open up my own library! Thanks for the tour of your lovely home! Take care & God bless!

[@HomesteadTessie]

oh Sis ! My weakness is books !!!

[@glendamoseley1383]

Your home is so warm and cozy! Everything is beautiful, I’m with you, I love the old family things and cherish everything that I have! The older the better!🥰😍

[@tammyisenblatter9138]

Good evening Tessie!!! Your home is so warm and inviting! I would never make it as a minimalist! Everything I have has a sentimental value to it. There is most likely a story to go with it as well. :) Your home is always bright and cheery at the same time it offers cozy comfort!! Looking forward to all your upcoming Christmas videos!!! Have a wonderful blessed weekend!!!💖💖💖

[@sharoncook8020]

Tessie I want to give you a great big hug you bring me joy and inspiration. You inspired me to fix my shed into something special hopefully my grandchildren will remember about me Thank you😘

[@ashwood911]

Thanks for sharing your home with us! I struggle with downsizing as I’m the only one in my large family that appreciates our history. I grew up in old homes (200+ years old) and finally was able to purchase my homestead a few years ago. It was built in 1947 and that I consider relatively new! LOL. For the most part it is original so I can appreciate the functional aspects more than beauty. We have similar bathrooms! I share your joy in stories. I pass along “stuff” to nieces; as they get older, they want to know more history. Your home is of comfort as is mine but you are much more organized and let’s just say, I am a mess! Keep doing what you’re doing, dear Tessie. You bring back my PA memories although I am in CA. Enjoy your morning bagel and looking forward to tomorrow’s video! - Maxie

[@beaandmaddy6623]

Dear Tessie.....A welcoming, well cared for, loving home. I, too, could never be a minimalist. Too many things I cherish and love that comfort me. You have a home to be proud of for what you have turned it into. 😚

[@jennysfarmsweetfarm7726]

Tessie your home is beautiful inside and out! I too love my cherished items from family & friends. I'm far from a minimalist, but also not in the hoarder category. Preserving those family heirlooms and sharing their stories with my children are really important to me. Like you each time I see an item or use an item that use to belong to a family member I stop and reminisce about the memories of my loved one. I have an old antique ice cream scoop that was my grandmas. Every time I use it to dip out ice cream I think of how she use to let me have vanilla ice cream with Hersheys chocolate syrup, and a marchino cherry on top when I got to visit her! Good memories! ❤

[@barbarafrancis533]

I love your enthusiasm and how you love your home. I love your home. It is so homey. I would love to take a nap on your sofa. It looks so inviting and a relaxing atmosphere. Keep posting. You never get boring.

Hi Tessie, I LOVE your home and I mean home because you've made your house a place of memories and love. Your decorating style is great. The dining room set is just beautiful and the coverlet on your bed is beautiful. Believe it or not, I have a lace tablecloth that I use as a coverlet like yours and it looks so pretty. I love your window treatments too. Your home is beautiful and your property is to be envied. Gorgeous. Your little get away craft house is just great. You are blessed in so many ways, but the main way is your ability to make magic out of everyday things. You're a very special person and I look forward to watching your videos.

Your home is so warm and inviting Tessie! I am not a minimalist either, rather a keeper of wonderful family memories and heirlooms. I would be lost without my books too!

[@DebsWay]

I'm with you, Tessie! Even though I have down-sized quite a bit during the past 10 years, I am far from being a minimalist!! I could part with a few more items but there are some that I would never ever consider getting rid of. Take care!
