Gunther A looks like a well travelled spy!! Loved this 😊

[@marybethw9418]

First thing I thought of when I saw the film strips. Definitely a spy.

[@SevenplazaCreative]

[@janetstubbington583]

This was so exciting; you could be building a story to write a novel or play - or to make a journal. What a wonderful stash of goodies you have and I love many of your boxes (I'm kind of a box girl). So, now ... curtains up ... the show begins

[@SevenplazaCreative]

😊👍🏻😘

[@mshotmess7437]

Margreth! First I miss the melodious sounds Daisy provides for your videos! Second, I have a photo album of my ancestors that dates from the mid-late 1800's. When I was little & would go next door to great-grandmother's house (she was my first best friend) I always wanted to look at the book because of the clasps on the front of it. I called it the ugly book because no one is smiling in it. Then everyone called it that. My great-grandmother taught me how to play cards and eat fondue. She was an amazing woman! ❤Tracy & Arte🐈

[@SevenplazaCreative]

😻👍🏻

[@Mysmichelle69]

One of my favorite videos ever love all the wonderful ephemera you have!

[@SevenplazaCreative]

thanks

[@redshift328]

watching this video was like shopping online at the thrift store ! So cool❤

[@SevenplazaCreative]

☺️😘

[@michelles9117]

I can't wait for Gunther's journal and his adventure story. I will admit I was a little disappointed that A outshone B but maybe Gunther has a dear best friend/ best man or, as someone else commented, a brother!🤞You have a LOT of very interesting ephemera filled boxes...I mean A LOT! 😘👍🥰 TFS❤

[@SevenplazaCreative]

I know 😂

[@dianesmith4759]

Love Gunther and his Mom & Dad! LOL Such a fun story. I also raided my husbands cigar boxes to hold thing in as I loved looking through your treasures.

[@SevenplazaCreative]

💜💜💜 this will be a fun journal, too!

[@JessicaHarris]

Your collections are so much fun and keep sending me to eBay!😂

[@SevenplazaCreative]

[@elaineatthecraftshed1993]

What a wonderful collection of ephemera and so well sorted. I really enjoyed our trip through it with you. I also like to set out a tray of possible bits and bobs to include before I get making. Looking forward to seeing Gunter's journal emerge.

[@SevenplazaCreative]

☺️👍🏻😘

[@thejunkjournalstudio]

Oooooh… it’s going to be wonderful!

[@SevenplazaCreative]

😊

[@jaclynstewartoclair208]

Gunther's occupation should be a racer driver. He travels all over the world racing his car. Use one of those cards of race cars. He lives dangerously. That why Gretchen is so attracted to him. LOL Whatever he does can't wait for his story to unfold. Such fun!!!

[@SevenplazaCreative]

[@annemillion1501]

This was a wonderful journey thru time and your treasures. Loved the whole thing and it's so awesome that you have so much authentic ephemera. As for Gunther A or Gunther B. I chose A because while B was cute in his glasses, he just looked way too young for Gretchen.

[@SevenplazaCreative]

☺️👍🏻

[@mtgmystery777]

Oooo I'm so excited to follow along yeahhh. I always look forward to all your videos❤ What a beautiful collection of vintage things wow your so blessed ❤️‍🔥

So many nice things! Love it.

[@candmmom]

I am so envious of you for having all of these things available to you. Living in Florida, I never see stuff like this. It was so neat seeing the Sunbeam labels, that is the only kind of bread we ate growing up. Vicky

[@SevenplazaCreative]

😘👍🏻

[@judiemjacobson4613]

That was such an amazing journey. It makes me happy to see you so excited when you're discovering things. I cannot imagine how you ever collected so much stuff. I have moved so many times and gotten rid of so many things. Thank goodness you are a neat person so that things are all in categories and easy to find. Really looking forward to this new Journal with Gunther I love the story you put together as you go

[@SevenplazaCreative]

Thanks ☺️

[@ElaineB59]

What amazing treasures ❤

[@SevenplazaCreative]

Thanks 😊

[@margogoodman6297]

In Canada, the mail stickers with the 'R' on it means registered. I agree with gabby, I feel like Gunther is secretly a spy, but acts like a shy bumbling person into nerdy stuff.

That was very interesting. haha and fun. Look forward to seeing the final results. Now thats going to be a treat indeed.

Gunther was a car collector. You can make a little catalog of his current inventory. Just imagine how their kids will separate all those cars. 😊. Love his dad. Thanks for taking us on your journey thru the boxes. So much fun.

I dont wanna sound horrible but may I just be the person you leave these beauties when you go to heaven 🙈 I can not image how long it took for you to collect these and after you enjoy and cherish them someone else needs to love them ❤ i hope you have someone in your family to value these if not please accept me as a child 😂 I love your taste and enthusiasm for everything you create. ❤ people always found me weird when I loved my paper treasures and I feel so much connected and comfortable while I am watching your videos. I feel like I am “normal”. I say this because noone knew about crafting or journaling where I grew up and people always thought I was childish and weird on my collections etc. I always created by myself and never knew a hobby like this existed. Once I learned that a whole new world opened to me 🥰 thank you for sharing your beautiful collection ❤

SOUL SISTER. My favourite piece of music happens to be Rêverie by Claude Debussey. When i hear it, I think of my exquisite mother, she loved classical music. It's her song, the song I most associate with her. She passed away before her time, at age 100, on Mother's Day in the spring of 2020 in her care home under lockdown. I spent our last day with her on zoom thanks to a kind nurse. To say she deserved better than the prank that globalist grifters perpetrated on the trusting, vulnerable citizens of the world, is an enormous understatement. The evening of her passing I played her music - Rêverie - and every time i hear it, it brings me close to tears or weeping .... I love her dearly, and that beautiful song which reminds me of her, so much. Thank you many times over ❤🇨🇦😪 for choosing it.

[@SevenplazaCreative]

Such a sad story, it must have been horrible. But grateful for the 100 years she got to spend on this earth . 😌

Miss Margreth, you have so many collectables and stuff that it seems to me that your house is full that I think you have run out of storage space. LOL. Is there room for Tim and you in your home? LOL. Just kidding. I just had to say that because you always say that you have boxes of stuff and a lot of books, and you have an attic full of books and such. I love all the stuff you picked out for Gunther, but I bet you will find some more down the road and add to it. Thank you for sharing all your treasures and more. God Bless. 🥰💖💯💯💯💯💯👍🐇🐣🐤🐥🐰🐞🌹🌵
