Be sure to go watch Sarah’s video, tell her hello, and subscribe! kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5TbdIuYfJJ5gK8

[@nancymarx3512]

Yes, love watching Sarah and just watched her new video this morning featuring Meeker Home & DIY! Wonderful!

[@SheHoldsDearly]

Awww, watching your videos just takes me to another world. This one was no different! The new antique store is amazing, as are the prices!! I saw about 30 finds I wanted to buy!! I love that you change out your son's books each season, what a sweet idea. Thank you for your kind words, you made me cry. I love that you mentioned your mama, too. I understand. I'm making my mom's famous crescent rolls next week for Thanksgiving and missing her, like you. Much love to you, Krysta. xoxo

[@KrystaMeeker]

Awww, I could have gone on and on about how much I enjoy watching you and your channel, you really are such a gem!! I love that you are making your mom’s crescent rolls for Thanksgiving!! I’m actually forgoing the turkey this year and making my mom’s roast! It’s how we keep them alive and continue to share them with our loved ones. Holidays are tough when a big piece of our hearts aren’t here with us physically. So much love to you sweet friend!! ❤️

[@sandieyule1644]

Thank you for introducing me to Krista! I am excited to learn from you both! Blessings!~~

[@katiem7850]

I love your videos. The music playing is so enchanting and relaxing. It’s like shopping in a fairy tale. You have exquisite taste.

[@KrystaMeeker]

Thank you so much!! 🥹❤️

[@lsager1970]

I’m so happy to a found your channel. I’ve been following Sarah for a while now and I love both her style and your style! You two ladies are both very talented. ❤ thank you for what you do ❤

[@KrystaMeeker]

Aww, thank you so much!! Happy to have you here! ❤️

[@colemansinacottage7701]

No way a collaboration with her oh how awesome been following her for a while and absolutely adore her!! ❤️ adore you both!!

[@KrystaMeeker]

Aww, thank you Shawna!! She’s wonderful!! 🥰

[@LaurieMo-vx1bm]

Just wanted to stop by and tell you how much I've enjoyed your video. I've subscribed as well. I'm part of Sarah's Behind the Scenes group and saw her recommend for you on her Look What I Found video. I'm glad she introduced us and look forward to seeing more of your videos. I particularly LOVE the Dickens books. I'm a sucker for that kind of book. Well done!!

[@KrystaMeeker]

Hi Laurie!! How cool that you’re part of her design group, it sounds like such a wonderful community! Thank you for joining me here, so happy to have you! ☺️

[@LaurieMo-vx1bm]

Hi@@KrystaMeeker ! It IS a wonderful community, perhaps some time you could join us for Sarah's Bespoke Retreat, maybe even give us some of your thoughts on the things you do so beautifully. In any event, I'm enjoying what you've already created and I thank Sarah for introducing us. Enjoy the day God has blessed us with and keep creating beauty.

[@cathyglowinski7958]

You can NEVER have enough ANTIQUE MIRRORS...! Been LOVING YOUR CHANNEL FOR THE LAST YEAR! SO HAPPY I FOUND YOU...

[@KrystaMeeker]

Thank you Cathy, the validation I needed on the mirrors! 😆 I’m so glad to have you here, thank you for watching and being so encouraging! ❤️

[@cathyglowinski7958]

@KrystaMeeker your very welcome...believe it or not I was looking at mirrors again today while I was out and about...IT'S SO HARD..LOL I still have several antique mirrors to hang when we finish the upstairs and the huge antique one in the bathroom still needs a frame..has some crazing on the mirror (lovely), my grandkids thought there was hair on my mirror...I actually had to pay $20 for a huge frame at Restore with an ugly picture in it...hopefully that will be put on in the next six months... Have a blessed night

[@flowergirl-yz3ki]

Wonderful finds. So glad you took us with you. Your filming is top notch. You have an eye for details others miss. Love when you share different ways to use the goodies you find or see in the shops. I always get a cup of coffee & settle in to watch your videos like a kid at Christmas & I'm 60!😊

[@KrystaMeeker]

That just made my day, thank you!! 🥹❤️

[@rsnj4501]

I’m always excited to see your creative ideas ♥️🎄♥️

[@KrystaMeeker]

Thank you!! 🥰

[@laurie4275]

My antique ice skates hang off the top edge of an antique wood sled on my front porch with a set of antique wood ski's standing behind. We live high on a mountain in the snow zone, so the decor is so appropriate and surprisingly, hasn't been stolen off my porch yet. I've been putting those out for years. The first year my children received The Polar Express book, I had to have a big brass sleighbell in a box under tree on Christmas morning. They thought they must have gone on the adventure, but just couldn't remember it, upon waking. The bell still resides with the book, and my (now grown) children still love the memory.

[@laurawatkins9399]

I love seeing your found treasures. Can't wait to see how you use them in your Christmas decor!

[@brendawagner6590]

I'm doing a Dickens theme this year too! Got a burgundy top hat at thrift store for $6 and made a "Marley & Scrooge" office window last year. Just picked up some caroler figurines today but need to tone down the colors a bit. Can't wait to see all your stuff when you are done decorating 👍🏻

[@KrystaMeeker]

Oh, that sounds perfect!! 😍

[@samanthaworkman9994]

The Mr. And Mrs. Fox absolutely incredible.

[@KrystaMeeker]

They really were, sweet yet so sophisticated! I could see them in a child’s room or even in an adult space. Beautifully done!

[@sandyprather9133]

New follower from She Holds Dearly!

[@Cestlaviestephi]

My escapism at work is watching antiquing videos, love all the finds

[@mikayamada8276]

KRYSTA!!! You got such good finds!!! I actually gasped at the first set of books! They are PERFECT for Christmas! Also, that little bell with the horse is so darling 🥹💗 I can totally see it with a velvet ribbon bow or something!! You got such cute goodies! Totally getting me into the Christmas spirit! 🌲 also! Totally random but I can totally see you doing a podcast 🥹 maybe talking ghost stories or stories from the Victorian era!

[@mikayamada8276]

I realized I said “totally” waaaay too many times. LOL

[@KrystaMeeker]

Hahaha! My god, I love you Mika! 🤣 That probably crossed your mind because you were thinking… “this woman can talk forever…” It’s truly unnerving listening to myself for hours while editing these talking head videos. 😆

[@brendakarason7680]

Beautiful pieces ❤️. The smaller amber 2 pc container was a coffeemate container. My mom use to get them when I was younger (I'm 64 now) Great memory.

[@KrystaMeeker]

Oh, that’s so cool, maybe I can track some more down now that I know! Thank you!! ☺️

[@Katie23652]

Already watching and subscribed to you both, and truly blessed by the journey you ladies share with us! Happy Holidays!

[@KrystaMeeker]

Love to hear it!! Thank you so much, I’m so grateful to have kind viewers like you!! ❤️

[@mermaidqueen9881]

I am addicted to brass. If I see brass when I'm thrifting I have to have it. I just think it's so beautiful.

[@deniseborchardt4491]

So many beautiful treasures and great prices. I can't wait to see how it all comes together!

[@sharonsomers5513]

i came over from She Holds Dearly, I have been watching her for years and eager to start watching your channel too.

[@heathereton5582]

Such fun! I love shops at holiday time. The foxes were adorable. ❤

[@katieelle5865]

I love knowing that my 2 favorite designers love each other too!

[@loismanzi2442]

Boy did you luck out with those gorgeous finds from the estate sale. The store you showed us was just beautiful. I loved so many items there and the prices seemed really good . Here in Southern Maine our second hand shops have gotten so expensive. They are putting themselves out of buisiness no one wants to pay high prices for things we were able to get so cheaply not long ago. So far 3 of them are closing soon. Anyway I am so happy you can still get those deals. I look foward to seeing how you display them!😁🎄⛄️

[@KrystaMeeker]

Thank you!! It’s so sad!! I feel like our thrift stores are overpriced but we’ve got some great reasonably priced antique shops, I’m very grateful for them!!

[@tinamcivor2996]

Have loved Sarah's videos for years and can see a lot of crossover between you both.

[@Plantlady82]

$25 for that frame??! What a deal! So lovely. Can't wait to see your final design!

[@OldOrchardFarmhouse]

Found you from Sarah's channel and so glad I did so Thank you Sarah. Great video!

[@KrystaMeeker]

Aww, thank you! So happy to have you!! ☺️

[@justasmalltowngirl_lynne5089]

I follow BOTH of you and absolutely love all things dearly from her and you ‼️‼️ Thank you for sharing all your talents & love 💚🎄❤️

[@debhannon6800]

Oh sweetie just gorgeous you are so talented 😁 you need to come and thrift in our little town 😊 you would be in heaven. Virginia City Nevada is so historic and we have some of the coolest antique shops. You would love love it here. My home is very over the top in traditional Christmas decore lol basically looks like a Hobby Lobby store 😂 I just love your style 😊

[@AnthonyLopez-f8c]

Thank you for taking us on this adventure with you!

[@susanguzzo3643]

Fireside is my favorite I voted for that and I was so happy it came it!

[@michellem434]

I love Sarah! I feel the same way about her. She's a beautiful person. Thank you for the great video. Love your decoration style.

[@charlenegoskowicz8220]

Exciting! Can't wait to see the house decorated!

[@AdorkableLiz77]

I watch both of your videos and it's so exciting to see the two of you collaborate together ❤️

[@KrystaMeeker]

Aww, I love that!! 🥰

[@carolynl5362]

Oh my gosh Sarah sent us over here!! I just adore you…our taste are so similar and I lived in a Queen Ann house for 20 some years and had 3-4 Antiques shops and had numerous booths and antique shows…lov’in your style! And We’ve moved to Tennessee mountains into a 100+year old cottage we’re having worked on now …haha while living in it…I’m gonna be a big fan of yours…I can tell 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@z9designs]

Love your channel. New subbie❤

[@rachellebrooke4614]

Here from Sarah’s channel. Love your creativity!

[@KrystaMeeker]

Aww, thank you Rachelle!! ❤️

[@susannahamblinaaron7247]

Hi 👋🏽 I used to live in Wichita for years. I have enjoying your show. But I wanted to tell you that I’m pretty sure I remember my Mother had the little amber jar with the lid. It was filled with creamer and the jar is how it was packaged. Cool free containers 😊

[@kajlove1]

I’ve watched your channel a few times and I love your style. I have watched Sarah at She Holds Dearly for a few years now. She is also a sister Christian and she seems very approachable as a person to watch. She really does inspire. When I thrift I think would Sarah pick up this piece😊? I really liked those foxes, they are kind of a VA thing where I live. I love your haul and using things that aren’t necessarily for Christmas.

[@teresahatfield4521]

Krysta. What a great Christmas haul. You found some great things. Thanks for sharing!

[@pls0203]

Your antique shops have the best prices! In my hometown those skates would be ridiculously high. What a great find and such a great piece to coord with many Victorian themes for Christmas and winter ❄️. This is my first time commenting but been a follower for since around the pandemic. You are truly a breath of fresh air and so happy to see elevated moody design. Thanks for your videos

[@lindarichie2585]

That large mirror is stunning !! I would have snagged that right up and do a little happy dance lol ! ❤🎄♥️🎄

[@heatherwhite2788]

Awesome deal on the big frame! Enjoy your style

[@karenbenson4639]

Found you thru Sarah's site...glad to subscribe to yours! Looking forward to catching up on videos.

[@helenbailey8419]

The trophy shaped sugar bowl(Georgian design)is timeless.Made me think of the three wise men bringing gifts to Jesus.(myrh)

[@dorothybahmuller44]

Thank you for the remarkable video. I wish I had an antique store near me like you have. The invitory and prices are amazing. I thank you for all the ideas that you gave us for your finds. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

[@lianeabeyta4515]

That antique store , with the transformative music in the background was awesome! I really love the wall book covers with the gold faces. So unique ,and reminds me of your son's bedroom. Love all your finds and can't wait to see your Christmas decor. I know it will be amazing, But.... as a grandma, who is not tech savvy.... I am so sad I cannot purchase your art through the mail. I would pay double for that option. I have checked your site, and love everything i have seen. It is so my style.

[@superannieoakley4513]

Love the booths u chose! They had all sorts of goodies. Good prices too.The local antique/vintage store near me is soo overpriced! Love the greenery, but unfortunately it's already sold out. Greenery is probably the one thing I buy every yr. I can never have enough, especially when it looks so real. Thxs for sharing!

[@marymachado3732]

Love all the wonderful pieces you found. Love watching, can wait to see what your Christmas home will look like, beautiful iam sure.

[@kathleenclark5877]

I watched “She Holds Dearly” today and found you through her! You are such a find! Recommendation for your carved gold picture frame. I bought one much the same way you do. I glued wine corks in a particular pattern onto a backing and it is now my info. board where I pin important things and reminders for myself! I get compliments all of the time. Give it a thought. Merry Christmas. I am starting to decorate today as I spend so much time decorating for Christmas I like to get value for effort!

[@helenbailey8419]

The brass candle stick holder is lovely.I have a similar one with the snuffer in the handle.

[@helenbailey8419]

The ice skates are gorgeous.

[@SarahsOctoberHome]

Krysta, I Love the brass, candle holder! So beautiful for the Holidays.🎄

[@KrystaMeeker]

Thank you sweet friend!! ❤️

Your crafts are so beautiful. Thank you for sharing. Very interesting and inspiring!

I Love you ladies, so talented and so humble 🫶🏻🫶🏻

[@maz3002]

Loving the idea of a Victorian Dickensian themed Christmas ❤ I was lucky to do a tour of Charles Dickens home in London some 10+ years ago ~ I bought home quite a few antique Dickens books which I purchased there. Love all your wonderful antique finds, especially the ice skates and the gorgeous mirror. Looking forward to seeing your next video ❤❤ heading over to check Sarah's channel now 😀

Love her video but I live your as well and that Halloween u did was so good u got it going on too.love your video's

[@terrychancellor4593]

OMG. I so wish that antique store was in VA, saw so many things I wanted, LOL!!! I did, however, notice a few things that I actually own myself!! Just finding your channel and love it!! My Mom grew up in Kansas, many areas (Eureka, Florence. Sedan, Wichita...), what part of Kansas are you in? I finally was able to see Kansas for the first time this year driving out to Colorado for the Plein Air Convention. I now see why my Mom loved it so much and what she meant by how beautiful the sky is there, wow!!! Love your decorating ideas, I'm going to have to watch more often!!

[@KrystaMeeker]

That’s the hard thing about watching others antiquing on YT! Haha. Aww, I love that! We’re in Wichita. Kansas has many beautiful places, the country skies are a sight to behold! ✨

[@gerigowers8318]

Funny, I just asked in your Dickens video where you got those books. The Christmas Book with David Copperfield are going for $275 on E-Bay, but I wanted the Old Curiosity Shop. $5 a piece was excellent - I'm so jealous! However, I did find the same volumes in Pickwick Papers for $19.99, so I ordered them instead because I loved the way they were bound. Somehow I wound up with your videos after watching She Holds Dearly and she had done a collab with Pine and Prospect Home. I do love that touch of Victorian. Subscribing now.

[@dianajemison105]

You found so many great gems, and can't wait to see what you do with it all. I love those old trophies, or loving cups. I have one, about the same size as the one you found. They look look great with flowers, bottlebrush trees, little ghosties, ... i love the swivel frame, too. Yours is a great size. The only one I've found is only about 3×4. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

[@KrystaMeeker]

Thank you Diana, Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!! ❤️

[@susanvelez6534]

Beautiful finds sweetie/ I’ve been following her for years she is awesome. I love brass and I decorated my entryway antique table in all brass candle holders then I’m putting a concrete nativity seen on it tomorrow….. I use to love Christmas until I lost mama. Love ya sister what a great haul

[@KrystaMeeker]

She’s awesome, and you have great taste!! 😘 The holidays really just don’t feel the same without them, I love that you’re still doing what you love and decorating even still. So much love to you sister!! ❤️

Can you please do a make up tutorial. I love your make up!❤

[@joannevangulick8813]

Krysta, what a great selection of Christmas items. I love the Dickens books and the skates. I also purchased the greenery you have...I've wanted it last yearmbut everyone sold out; I guess I could've gotten them from Afloral but they are expensive and I knew I could get them more reasonably before Christmas this year. I really love how they look. I can't wait for your decorating video. Happy Thansgiving to you and your family.🦃

[@KrystaMeeker]

Thank you!! Yes, that greenery goes QUICK!! Kirklands has great pricing on it, I was happy to get my hands on some this year as well! I hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving! ❤️

[@pattywethington3764]

Can't wait to see how you decorate this year. I watched your last year's video. Loved it!

Great finds! The amber bubble top jar is a vintage Belgian apothecary jar. I have several in dark green and love them.

Oooh, now I want some dark green ones! 🤩

Very pretty and cozy!

Such a beautiful little piece!! Love that you found one too! 🥹🎠

[@ChynaCatxD]

I love your style! I aspire to create a space like yours. The skates would look cute hung from an old sled if you could find one. ❤

[@KrystaMeeker]

Thank you so much!! The sleds are SO cute, I keep seeing them but they’re always expensive!! One of these days I’ll score one at a good price! 🤞

Absolute steal on the mirror and wood 16x20 frame. I would willingly pay $300.

[@kathrynshedd2730]

What a lovely haul. Have fun decorating with your finds. I'm wondering if the large, vintage frame has a gesso finish. I have an antique mantel mirror with similar detailing that my mom would call gesso. Just curious... thx for your channel.

[@paraldaspassion]

Visiting from She Holds Dearly

[@sherryhudson9075]

That shop was a treasure trove!!! I thought the prices very reasonable. ❤

[@sherryhudson9075]

You are such a talented stylist

[@KrystaMeeker]

Thank you so much Sherry!! It was three different shops but SO many treasures at such great prices. I think we are lucky to have such reasonably priced antique stores here.

[@jencammalone9735]

I can not wait to see your Christmas home come together with all these beautiful collected items, you have done such a great job

[@maryt918]

Love your finds and I’m excited to see your Dickens Christmas this year.🥰 What’s the name and location of the antique shop that Janice has a booth in where you found the wooden piece with the wreath? I’m going to be in the area and would love to visit.

[@KrystaMeeker]

Her booth is at Paramount West on West Kellogg! The desk is on the left when you walk in and her booth is the first one just past the desk on the left. Beautiful booth, the whole shop is great, I could spend hours roaming around in there!

[@MarilynDean-i5b]

Love Sarah,found out about your channel from her .

[@jennifero7189]

Can you please share what the first antique store was you shared? I’m in Wichita, and saw a few things I’d like. Thank you!

Is there a scull in your Christmas print you plan on putting in the wood frame?

Looking forward to your Christmas decorating.
