Another wonderful video, Bridgett! David and Debbie has so many beautiful things. I loved the story about the rush light! Your new arrangement of furniture looks lovely! I am now looking forward to your next video! The samplers are so pretty. So that is a hobby you share with your Mom. That makes it even more special!

[@bridgettsprimitvepassion]

Yes, making samplers is a hobby that I share with my Mama because she’s the one who taught me how to stitch when I was a little girl. You’re right, that doesn’t make it more special! Thank you for watching.

[@DeannaMoyers]

This was so interesting Bridgett….David is such a good teacher and I’ve been drawn to early lighting for some time now and I really enjoyed seeing so many wonderful old pieces. The story of the rush Iight was amazing. There is so much history attached to these early pieces and the reason why so many of us enjoy having them and showing them off. Thank you for such a wonderful channel….always get excited when I see a new notification.

[@bridgettsprimitvepassion]

Thank you so much Deanna! I too am drawn to early lighting and it was just so fascinating to hear the story about how they came into existence. David was so interesting and so easy to listen to. As always, thank you so much for watching

I do love a good history lesson and this didn't disappoint. I'm fascinated with rush lights. I'm always amazed how people figured out how to use things. Well done.

[@bridgettsprimitvepassion]

Yes it fascinates me too! I feel so lucky that David was willing to share all of his knowledge with us! Thank you for watching!

[@robinrhea6125]

The one thing I love if I can learn something everyday was my teaching motto!!!!! SO I have learned a lot with this video !!!! A+😊

[@bridgettsprimitvepassion]

That’s exactly how I feel and I learned so much as well! Thank you so much for watching!

[@donnakish2316]

Love your home, collections & videos Bridgett. In 2010 Country Sampler I had the pleasure of having our home featured along with your lovely Moma Betty. We e-mailed back & forth a few times ...fun times

[@bridgettsprimitvepassion]

Oh wow, that’s so awesome! I will have to look back in that issue and see your home. I will tell my mom that I got a sweet comment from you. Thank you for watching!

[@cindyk4294]

I really loved this video… the history lesson was a treasure. You know Bridgette, if I had the room and some of the pieces you have… I’d be moving thing too. As it is, I move a lot of the small things often. I’m searching for a tricorn hat. My son gave me a powder horn. And that hat box is a real treasure!

[@bridgettsprimitvepassion]

My friend just ordered a tricorn hat on the Internet and I believe it was from a costume place. Those tend to be less expensive than if you order one from someone who makes reenactment clothing. You might try that first. Hope this helps.

[@gailhorrocks]

Thank you and so enjoyed. I m always changing things around. I love to have fun...."playing house!" You are fun to watch and so natural.

[@bridgettsprimitvepassion]

Thank you so much for saying that I seem natural because I was so nervous when I first started making these videos! That makes me feel better to hear you say that and I thank you for it!

[@nancymartz9074]

The more I think about it the more I agree, you’re right! I will leave it as it is. Thanks for your kind comment.

[@patkilmurray4702]

I was fascinated to learn about the 500 year old lamp found in a Priests hole in England! I am English and have recently started collecting early Primitives however over here they are extremely difficult to find. The fact that this amp originated here is amazing. Thank-you for a very interesting talk from David, he certainly "knows his stuff

[@bridgettsprimitvepassion]

Yes he here doesn’t know his stuff! I too was fascinated by the story of the early lighting piece. Thank you so much for watching!

I get excited when your videos come out, Bridgett. Perhaps sometime you could give us some collecting tips! Great video!

[@bridgettsprimitvepassion]

That makes me so happy to hear this! That is something I will definitely try to make a video about and I will get a little help from my Mom with her tips as well! As Always, thank you so much for your support and for watching

Wow, just when I think I’ve seen your best video, you come to us with another great one! I could have listened to David speak about his treasures for hours! You made me laugh out loud when you said “the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree” because I had been thinking that same thing. Your home is beautiful. You and your mom definitely have an eye for display. I may have missed this, but do you sell your sampler patterns?

[@bridgettsprimitvepassion]

Oh I really appreciate your sweet comment Michelle! I am so glad that you are enjoying my videos and I appreciate your support of my channel! I don’t do patterns but I have thought about maybe getting into that a little later. Thanks for your interest and for watching!

Hi Bridget you are awesome. They are so beautiful. Are these mostly made with cross stitching? I would love information for pattern. See you soon at the Springfield antique market in 2 weeks 😘

[@debbratefft3813]

Wonderful video..i have a few questions, what are those candles hanging from your fireplace ? And why do people put table and chairs in the living room by fireplaces ? I see that a lot, I love it ..but I was wondering if there was a reason. Your home is breathtaking .I enjoy your videos and could watch them nonstop.lol.thank you.

[@bridgettsprimitvepassion]

I think that people put tables and chairs in front of fireplaces because the fireplace was a source of heat. The candles that are hanging on my fireplace are made from black iron hooks and a small rod. The candles hang from the rod by their wicks.

[@maryross3951]

Love your videos! I’m new to the prim style but absolutely love it. Can you tell me do you make the little rails that you hang your candles on in front of the fireplace mantle or do you buy them. I see them in alot of videos and want one

[@bridgettsprimitvepassion]

The ones that I have that are hanging on my fireplace are ones that I have made myself. I do know that you can buy these at some primitive stores but they are actually pretty easy to make. Just a couple of black iron hooks and a small rod to hang your candles from. That’s all there is to it! Hope this helps!

Could I ask where you got your make do chair from?
