Cousin Mel is so talented. I need her to come to my house and just set up vignettes. Thank you for opening your home to us again.

[@AnneClay]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@hmc3142]

Thanks Anne for taking us to Mels! I love watching you guys!❤

Mel I love all your treasures and all your new pieces. It all looks wonderful. If it brings you joy that’s all that matters. Good to see Tom. Thanks Mel and Anne for another great tour. Love and blessings ❤️❤️❤️

[@AnneClay]

You're very welcome Jean!

[@cathysolinsky5193]

Anne, I'm commenting on a video you made a few days ago. I cannot believe anyone would be mean to you about your videoes. I loved Miss Goody Two Shoes, she was absolutely adorable and hilarious and I laughed myself silly. I love the ones of Alice, I learn so much from her and I love the ones of Lainey 's home. And we all love the videoes of your home ( Tom too). I check every day for new ones, I know that isn't possible, but I can hope. You work so hard to give us new content and I can see how you might be a little burnt out, but please know we love you and so enjoy your work. Take care of yourself and please don't stop with the wonderful primitive videoes. We love them!

[@AnneClay]

Thank you so much Cathy! Very kind words!! 😍

[@authenticallyamber99]

We will certainly talk about it. Watch the video coming out tomorrow. You'll enjoy that too!

[@donnaendres3235]

Its my favorite duo and an added bonus with Shirtless Tom. I knew Mel wouldn’t stay minimal! I love how it looks. All the dolls are adorable. I guess it’s time to get out my patriotic stuff. I use Mel as my guideline.

[@AnneClay]

LOL yes I don't think any of us thought that she would stay minimal. It's not in her. :)

Mel don’t apologize for your small house. I think it’s better than long overwhelming house tours with lots of vignettes everywhere. I look forward to your seasonal decor touches. I love to hear your cousin banter during the tours 😂

I keep waiting for a burst of energy to come but it never does. Thanks for sharing.

I always enjoy your videos especially with Mel. You feel like old friends. I am one of doll collectors. I bet Mel's Mother had an awesome collection . I hope you were able to sell them or give them to a doll collector. No vintage baby left behind is my motto. I love the prim dolls but only put them out in the fall. Fun video. Love from Boston!
