I love the addition of old cuckoo clock faces among the evergreens. So festive and nostalgic.

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

Yes, I was lucky to find all those from a clock repair shop.

[@HomesteadTessie]

What a beautiful ending to my day watching your videos brings me such joy

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

Hey Tessie, Nice to see you!

[@janew4690]

I am loving your use for greens. To me the best way to decorate is with using naturals. I love old toys. Looking foward to more videos. I appreciate your hard work in bringing these to us.

[@karenlehn2351]

Your Father Christmas is absolutely priceless! If he was for sale,his price would be ( should be) in the hundreds!

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

Indeed, I will have to leave him to someone special in my will.

[@1955missellie]

Thanks for inviting us into your home and sharing your beautiful collection with us.....Looks like you saved the best for last, in my humble opinion.....that hobby horse was the most incredible thing I've ever seen!

[@deettarichardson3682]

Thank you for showing us all your beautiful antiques it is so much fun. Also all your greenery decorations until the next video.

[@lianeabeyta4515]

That Father Christmas is the most amazing one I have ever seen. It almost feels like he could start talking. His features are so lifelike.. and his attire is incredible. What an artist your friend is! He does look like he is over 100 years old. The detail on the toys is beyond belief. Your collection of horses ,in all they're various forms in impressive. I only have one little sheep with the wool on wheels.

[@virginiawestcot3111]

I hope your home was not part of the horrible tornadoes that went through Tennessee and Kentucky just a few days ago. Your antique animals are adorable but I really Love Father Christmas how expressive his face is a true work of art.

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

We were lucky that the tornadoes missed our county. We did have an amazingly frightening "light show" with constant thunder and lightning for close to 2 hours.

[@betzie2]

That “Father Christmas “!!!! How gorgeous is he?! That face, the toys, his coat……Jeri, I adore everything as usual! Such a delight! I love old toys…I have a dancing bear with red celluloid shoes and glass eyes…still works. Oh how our treasures add joy. Have a wonderful Christmas dear friend.♥️🤗♥️

[@betzie2]

P.S. I still have my plastic horses! Hours of fun!! Your antique ones are amazing!!!

[@roksannastephens4375]

Hello Jeri, thank you for such a great video. Old Father Christmas is such a labor of love- wow! His exoresdion is so lovely. I'll research the difference and stories of his existence over Santa Claus. I have a special dpot for donkeys, so I like him best of all your treasures. I've never seen antiques like thise cart horses, lovely. I have fond memories of my Grandpa cutting thin tree branches and tying rope at top and my sister and I pretended they were horses and rode them around...loved it. Lol. Oh boy, textiles, on the continued antiques videos.

[@TheFarmSparrow]

Sending you hugs Jeri… may you and your family have a blessed time together and may the peace and joy of knowing our Savior be upon you.🤍🤗

[@camirichardson7485]

@@lyndakling901 Why assume? Are you not doing the same? Jeri has mentioned Bible studies, and daily devotions and has declared her love for the Lord in the past. Anyone who has studied God's Word knows the absolute truth about the Savior Jesus Christ who came to save any and all who would believe in Him. May God bless you and your family. Merry Christmas!

[@patriciacinea3097]

Those "toys" are 100+ years old! It would be interesting to know how many families could afford them back then. You create a very unique and nostalgic Christmas atmosphere both inside and outside your home. I will intentionally dry flowers and save those sunflower heads for next year!

[@lindamelz242]

Your Father Christmas is stunning and shows your friends extraordinary talent. Thank you for sharing your toy collections . What beautiful wall stenciling!!!

I loved that you are repairing the animals for them to live on.

[@DonnaVintageSnippets]

Loved this video and I learned a lot about the old toy horses. Your Father Christmas is just gorgeous!! It's so nice of you to share your knowledge of antiques with us.

[@susanmyrawills]

Absolutely delightful! Your house is a museum of treasures. I collected ceramic horses and other animal figures when I was a kid. I saved my allowance and walked downtown to Woolworth’s and could buy a figurine then for ten cents. One time I got lost walking home and started crying. A woman with a bunch of childen drove me home using the map my mother had drawn. So looking forward to the antique textile show!

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

What a funny memory! 10 cents went a long way at Woolworths.

[@kathleenroberts7972]

Your father christmas is stunning! What a talented lady that did all that. Just like you!

[@sharongiles6326]

As always you amaze me and Father Christmas is a true treasure.

[@lyndakling901]

I adore your dollhouse..I have several, one made by my grandfather for my mother in the 1930’s… I do have 4 horses( real!)….

This is pure art! I am i love with all the wreaths you made with sunflowers and bay leaf. I have never seen anything like it, it is absolutely beautiful and very inspiring! 💚

[@DLynne222]

❤ I really need a love button instead of just a thumbs up button. I so enjoyed all this video (like I enjoy all your videos). And I'm so thankful there are real people like you Jeri, even though very rare, who not only appreciate old things from the past, you preserve them, enjoy them, make them a part of your everyday life and you share them in such a way that they seem to be very normal and livable, and not so exceptional they need to be guarded in a museum. So many of us just throw things away when they get a bit worn or tattered and even when we appreciate seeing them in the care of others we don't want the responsibility of taking care of them ourselves. Thank you for sharing that with us. I also love all your decorations! Where I live there are so few evergreen things in nature. I have one juniper a former owner planted and one native cedar, and that's it. I'm trying to plant some things, some boxwood and ivy, and I hope to plant much more so in the future I will have lots of evergreens to choose from for decorations. But! I love that you take what you have and add color to it, or preserve plants when they have color to add to later decor. In the fall I made a large wreath out of common "broomweed" which has tiny yellow flowers and was growing everywhere. It actually turned out very pretty, so I will be doing more in future autumns, and it's dried nicely to a brown color. I am now thinking I will try spray painting it green!! I was planning to just compost it anyway, so it can't hurt to try!! I may even go out to the field and find some other dried bits to spray paint with colors to tuck into it! You are such an inspiration!!! Thank you so very much for this video and all the aspects of your life which you bless us with. Thank you!! 💚

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

15 years ago we planted a row of Holly bushes specifically to use in Christmas decor. They really came into their own a few years back, but only once have they produced the red berries Its just fine to spray paint color on your dried flowers and buds, sometimes its the only way to get the yellows and reds you need.

I am in awe of not only Father Christmas but the horses and other animals. I recently began collecting toys and would love to find a rocking horse. I had the chance to buy a beautiful antique one at an antique show but reluctantly passed on it and have regretted it. It was in great shape with an in tack leather saddle with stirrups. You did a marvelous job decorating the little house for Christmas too. Just beautiful! Merry Christmas!

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

The little brown horse was one I spied at an antique show and passed on , but I kept the dealers business card. A few days later after having regretted my choice, I called her up and drove about an hour to pick up the little horse. Lesson learned, always get contact info from the dealer.

I was crazy over horses too at that age! I had a stick horse with a mane that looked like an old mop. O, how I loved my pony! I'm really looking forward to your next video as I loved doing cross stitch until my eyesight became an issue. I have a large lighted magnifying glass I plan to use and will try to get back to stitching a bit this winter.

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

LOL< I remember that moppy maned horse ! My eyes are really bad for cross stitch as well, I usually paint under a magnifier and will have to do the same if I finish any of my stitching patterns.
