Love Camp Meetings...went every summer in Wilmore,KY. Always a treat for us teens to stay in the dorm. What Camp Meeting? Ours closed which is really sad but the buildings are still being used. I was a pastors daughter. You must come to our area!

[@Melissa.Ringstaff]

Oh sweet! Where abouts is Willmore, KY? Too bad they ended it. Ours is the KYTN Campmeeting. Just a really special role every year. Where do you live? I’m sorry if I’ve asked that before. My memory isn’t what it used to be 😊

[@PamelaBercegeay]

Love all your purchases. Can’t wait for the decorating video. You have a good eye when it comes to unique pieces!! 👏

[@Melissa.Ringstaff]

Oh thank you! That means a lot to me. 😊 I’ve filmed the video. Have to get it edited. Hopefully it will be out on Monday or Tuesday this week! Thanks so much for watching!

[@loripowell7654]

As for the damage on your basket….you can insert and weave a piece wicker/wood to cover that spot. If it needs to be bent….just soak for awhile in water until pliable. Love the marshmallow tin. I am on the look for one too! Beautiful flag!

[@Melissa.Ringstaff]

Oh that’s so smart! I would never have thought to do that. Do you make baskets?

[@lylacrawford1827]

I have been missing your videos. Glad you got to spend time with your parents. I am getting ready to do a gallery wall of birds in my livingroom, so I have been searching for the right pictures and shelves. The prices at the second store seemed really reasonable.

[@Melissa.Ringstaff]

Thank you Lyla! A wall gallery of birds sounds lovely. I have always loved watching birds!

[@sandrajoyner6474]

Thank you for the video! Happy 4th of July! Anything from Georgia or North Carolina has got to be special! Looking forward to the next one. God bless!

[@Melissa.Ringstaff]

Hi Sandra! Thanks so much for watching!! Where address you from?

[@sandrajoyner6474]

@@Melissa.Ringstaff I live in upstate N.Y. I lived in Georgia, near Savannah for nearly 20 yrs. My son lives in N. Carolina, I try to visit at least one time a year.

@@sandrajoyner6474oh wow! I love Savannah and upstate NY is so beautiful!

We just replaced our flag. Our pole is quite tall and we fly a 5x7'. We have a place to retire our flags, but told my husband I wanted to keep it. We just paid $60 for a new one. Our old one is faded and has a great look even though it's just 2 years old. An Instagram account I follow also used hers weaving in and out of empty frames on a wall, and I love h I w it looks. I also have the Michigan syrup tin. Love it. So cute. I don't know why the Campfire tins are so popular (except that they're cute) but they are hard to come by and very expensive. Most are very "rusty, dented, etc" damaged. You got a really nice one.

[@Melissa.Ringstaff]

Oh I would love to have a flag pole outside to fly a large flag. How lovely! Thanks so much for watching Judy! ❤️❤️❤️

I enjoy going to the Karm store in Clinton TN

[@Melissa.Ringstaff]

I’m not sure if I’ve been to that one! I went to the Christmas store in Clinton last year though. I’ll have to check it out. Or did they turn the Christmas store into a regular KARM?

[@tammyleviner3070]

Yayyy!! Its so so good to see you on here again girlfriend!! I've missed your videos terribly😕 But spending that quality time with your family, making special memories is so much more important, totally understand! But I just wanted you back😁lol Ohhh yum..i love squash😋 I've been looking for a scale like the one you showed, that's the right size & it was a good price too! I'm really hoping when we find our place the kitchen cabinets has space above them..i really want to start collecting old tins to display there, i love that look! The blue & white cone shaped wall hanger was really pretty💙 And that little plate with the little girls was so cute! Oh the framed handmade doilie was pretty too❤ I have a little collection of the little ceramic frogs on my plant shelves on the porch, i love decorating with different little pieces on the porch with my flowers😊 That's awesome that you do that with the children's ministry every year! Being A pastors wife can be a busy life.. with my husband being a pastor, i know!🙋‍♀️ We taught the youth, more pre-teen & young teens for about 2yrs when he was first ordained. But his ministry had always been with young adult men & recovery programs. We had A big shelf full of old Avon cologne & perfume bottles in our thrift store back in TN..i snagged a few pretty ones😉 The Irish Setter is a cute one. Really pretty picnic basket. I have a large flag, it was presented to me by the Marine corps when my dad passed. Being he was a WWII marine vet, it was draped on his casket then folded & given to me. Of course its displayed in a wood flag box with the glass front where it will always stay..i truly cherish it 🇺🇸❤ That one is really about the same size. Love the weathered look. I love to see where you hang it!! When I saw the straw bag, i knew exactly what you were thinking😁 its a cute purse but really cute for decor! Ahh love the tins.. super cute graphics! Coke bottle decor is sweet. Again I knew when you started talking it was going to be a campfire tin😄 I want one so bad.. But if I get one it just may be a reproduction also! The real ones are crazy expensive😳 But we love what we love 🤷‍♀️ Not sure if I've told you that we're moving down to Florida where my son is?? I've actually been here since early May, my husband has had to go back several times taking care of business things. He actually on his way back there now, we brought my daughters babies down for a few weeks & he's taking them home & picking up some things. Anyways I'm so overwhelmed girl.. there 10 thrift stores in less than 5mi. and the next little town just 10min up the tired has 11 thrift stores.. haven't ckd the other little towns around me yet. I know within an hour there's tons of stores, plus a bins. No telling what Tampa has, i know there a large antique mall. I haven't ckd for antique stores yet either!! There's A huge habitat restore with a big thrift store beside it.. think that's gonna be my first stop. Lol to my husband I could shop A new store every day for several months😄Hoping i can actually find some of my hunt/wish list pieces! Girl you know I'm going to miss Tennessee sooo much, I love it there! And I truly hate the weather here, its just not nice🫤its miserable &i constantly melt🫠 But Gods leading us to a new season. My husband starts an actual job on Monday, we're working on the ministry part of the move. So please keep us in your prayers! I'm so ready to get into a home & get back to decorating😞 But it was awesome seeing you... And babbling like i always do😂 Enjoyed It & excited to see the next video! Hope you have a blessed 4th🇺🇸🎆

[@Melissa.Ringstaff]

Love chatting with you Tammy! I’m sad you’re moving away. I was hoping to meet up with you! 😅 I do hope all goes well and you find a place soon! 🥰

[@tammyleviner3070]

@@Melissa.Ringstaff I know..i was really hoping we'd get to meet up sometime! But who knows, we' ll come up sometime to visit & may still get the chance! We know of a few small 'off the grid' type cabins that are really affordable, that we'll probably come & stay in for some short visits. We both love it there in the mountains so much🥹

[@Melissa.Ringstaff]

@@tammyleviner3070that would be nice! You’ll have to let me know when you come back for a visit!
