I hope you enjoyed watching!

[@thecraftystasher]

Yes, ... I Loved It❣️❣️❣️

[@donnamcmillan6950]

When I was a child my aunt helped us collect beautiful fall leaves. We pressed them as you did and then we used two sheets of waxed paper and got out the iron and ironing board and on a gentle heat after placing the leaves between the two sheets of waxed papers, we ironed over the top sheet and thereby waxed the leaves and then they last even longer because they are waxed. We used to have to mount them on Bristol board and carefully print the name of the tree each leaf came from. That was a school project in the early grades of elementary school. Some children today cannot identify trees by their leaves. I really enjoyed your Thanksgiving projects and I hope you and your family have a safe happy holiday!!

[@newenglandfineliving]

I did that wax paper as a child too! So many wonderful memories.

[@donnamcmillan6950]

@@newenglandfineliving Yes and your video brought them back lol. Happiness!!

[@pammartin9876]

Thank you for preparing for Thanksgiving and not jumping right into Christmas! Love the garland and the leaves!

[@newenglandfineliving]

You are so welcome!

[@944gemma]

I so agree

[@wandaconklin8952]

Hi Linda. I am new to your channel and I love it! I grew up in the Hudson Valley area of New York. I now live in West Tennessee, Watching your videos takes me back home for awhile. I miss it very much. I now have an old house on 5 acres, My husband of 43 years passed away 9 years ago so I won't be moving again. We loved working on our old homes. Thank you for being here

[@janicebrowningaquino792]

I love the way you think of your home in a historical sense with decorating. I’m sure there were women who thought of exactly what you said. They used what they had in abundance to decorate their homes for holidays. I love the historical architecture of New England. I love the history. I can’t wait to try this type of a project, never would have thought of using corn husks in that way. Thank you for teaching me new things that excite and inspire me. Guess this old gal likes to learn new things! Have a WONDERFUL Thanksgiving, I know you can make it fabulous however you and your husband and family celebrate. My family will FaceTime.

[@serenitypeaceandcomfort3669]

Love the elegance and grace of the decor. I'm so tired of "farmhouse" decor.

[@helenk5579]

Amazing.... love the idea of using things from around the house and garden to make garland, like in the old days before Hobby Lobby and Amazon..LOL.. love your projects...😉😉

[@debivanravenhorst8894]

Linda, I really enjoy how New Englanders decorate for the fall and Christmas season. So timeless, warm and inviting. Looking forward to more of your decorating and DIY projects.

[@jamierae7405]

Linda, I know you started your channel to slow down your life a little but I find just watching forces me to slow down as well. It’s a win win situation. Thanks for sharing. Lots of fun ideas

[@marilyncausey9348]

I'm in love with the corn husk garland! My mother grew up in rural NC in the 1930s-40s. She told me about using natural items for decor and also for useful items, such as sandals made from braided corn husks that had been soaked and dried. I'll try to remember to make the corn husk garland next year as a special homage to my mom. Thank you for sharing! Happy Thanksgiving!

[@roxannepaul3234]

I love your use of natural elements. Looking forward to seeing you Christmas ide!s.

[@eileen3167]

Thank you so much for Sharing your creativity and ingenuity it is greatly appreciate it. It is so refreshing to see your craft projects and learn. Unfortunately so many craft projects on KZbin begin with a haul from Hobby Lobby and Home Goods...nice to see how real creativity begins with a walk in the neighborhood.

[@doreenmaggio3624]

Hi Linda , I want to thank you for sharing these charming and fun crafts . I made the tree from an old art book with lamanted paper and topped it with a porcelain rose . I am on the hunt for a book with musical notes and off to my Son’s Log cabin this weekend to gather pinecones . A double Fun time . I am so excited to try these and can’t thank you enough for your creative inspiration .

[@liontribeofjudah5616]

Love the husk garland! I have seen people make door wreaths with corn husks.. but not used in garland before..really festive! I appreciate your style of decorating.

[@janegeeo1293]

Love these! I'm finding so many great ideas in your videos. You're just the best to share.

[@phyllishaynes1544]

Great idea for the garland. ♥️

[@gilosuna2869]

My name is mary Antoineta I love your decorations God bless you thanks

[@nilsakruse2848]

Thank you for sharing these 2 projects...they turned out really unique...you are fun to watch and get inspired by...look forward to more Christmas decor and ideas.

[@kmarchman1047]

That garland is really cute. There's so many different ways to decorate them and to decorate with them.

[@montana9703]

I woke this morning with a cup of coffee and watching your holiday videos. You’re my inspiration so...I’m getting a flight with my husband for thanksgiving to scout out new territory. Yay!!!! 😊

[@newenglandfineliving]

Have fun!!!! Where are you headed?

[@leticiahernandez4857]

Morning Linda your Garland came out so beautiful you are so creative. Thank you for starting your video by showing us beautiful homes I’m very happy I stumbled on your videos and I’m glad that I subscribe. You bring to this channel everything that I love, antiques, showing beautiful homes from the 1800s, Arts and crafts, also I love the classical music you have in the background. Thank you so much cannot wait to see your tour for Thanksgiving God bless you🙏🏻 and family.🐿🍁🍂🦔👍🏻👏🏻

[@louisemcelhill5748]

Thank you for a beautiful distraction from a somewhat complex and challenging life. ♥️🇨🇦

[@rhondaz356]

Linda, this was so enjoyable. I love the corn husk garland and the tutorial. You're a great natural, calming influence for some of us. 🌽💚🌽💛🌽

[@carrlinewhitfield5282]

Love the look of natural products, it is a peaceful and relaxing look plus very beautiful.

[@donna8212]

These are fantastic projects! The garland is such a good idea. You can always use glue dots for a diy like the leaves on the vase. They sell them in the craft stores. Have a nice evening! 🍁🍃🍂🌽

[@newenglandfineliving]

Great idea!!

[@chlexiel.1022]

The corn husk garland is beautiful- even as it was when you hung it to dry. Never knew you could do that. Your voice is so relaxing btw😊

[@pw3985]

Both projects are beautiful. I never thought about using the corn husks. They dry to such a warm color❤️

[@rosalindhambleton9012]

Bonjour Linda, I am loving the garland; it is a great idea and I will remember it for next year. Once done, it look wonderful with the appel and pine cones. Thanks for sharing ... wishing you and your family Happy Thanks Giving, ma chère. - Rosalind -

[@frenchcountryhomeschool7860]

Both projects were lovely. I especially love the garland. Very, very pretty and festive.

[@myhappynest6125]

I love!! that garland. You are so clever and creative. Thanks for sharing all your great ideas.

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

This is just beautiful! So glad to have found your channel!

[@lindalagarce8996]

Love the corn husk garland! Will be adding this one next year- bing watching if you can’t tell! Lol

[@yvettesummers1339]

that garland is just beautiful Linda. thank you for sharing

[@joannw5089]

We all have vases that we collected, great idea Linda

[@sheriwadsworth5797]

Clever !! Love that you brought in nature . Happy Thanksgiving 🍁!!

[@nancyevans822]

You could use those candles that are battery operated and that way you wouldn’t have to clip the edges off of your leaves at the top. No flames to worry about, but very pretty.

[@YaYa-jy1yv]

Wowzer! Like the music👍🏼

[@602redroses]

Both of your craft projects are lovely. I like how you use things that most people just throw away.

[@cindybakergambrel136]

I can’t wait till next fall and make myself a corn husk garland.

[@ninajohnson6578]

Linda. I adore these! Thank you 💕

[@laurah6381]

Looking forward to your Holiday videos! That garland is so beautiful! Wowza Love your channel!

[@margarethess6583]

Oh, Linda, thank you for such a beautiful video! Gave me some Thanksgiving inspiration.

[@kathywinstead7460]

I would suggest LED candles in the vases. This coming from someone who has lived through a house fire. . . .

[@lindah7179]

They have some great battery candles now!

[@leslikuyweski4576]

I saved my corn husks from the summer but I didn't accordian them. I may have to soak them to use them now. Lesson learned! Great idea using the leaves!

[@karentemple5619]

The garland is perfect..simplicity at it's best! Thank you for sharing❤🍁

[@jeannineboyce3957]

You are very inspiring! Enjoy your videos!

[@gabrielasimmons2401]

Dear Linda, another beautiful video. I love your idears. Can't get enough of them. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@newenglandfineliving]

Thank you so much!

[@lynprocopio2450]

I love your voice and how you explain things also love videos of cooking where there's music and brief instructions on the bottom. so much easier to follow! (Sept. 20 beef stew).

[@VelvetandToads]

Beautiful, love the corn husks, how original! And OMG, that sparkly brown blazer...

[@newenglandfineliving]

Thanks so much!

[@deniseconnors8124]

Restful and informative! and, so New England-y! Thank you

[@colleenheither9532]

Loved this on a farm. I will do this I have corn and pine cones.

[@annanorth4584]

Love the craft projects! Please show a slower clip of the garland. It was so pretty, I'd like to see it in more detail. Thank you for your Channel. I look forward to each video. Have a wonderful, blessed, Thanksgiving.

[@donnacarman5429]

Thank you for sharing your beautiful garland! I will be saving corn husks next summer!!!

[@marlenegoho1778]

Lovely! Thanks for sharing your crafting. Very inspiring!

[@lilybee_]

I made a paper book tree :) My kids love it!

[@TraditionsByTheSeasons]

Magnificent, every project you share is beautiful. You truly inspire me. I will be pressing leaves next fall, for sure! Love the organic nature of the garland, just gorgeous. Thx for sharing! ❤️ 🍁 🍃 🍂

[@newenglandfineliving]

Thank you so much! Part of my house is Thanksgiving, part is Christmas. It's going through an identity crisis LOL

[@arleneg1271]

Love both the crafts Linda...so pretty.

[@GuilfordGardenCT]

i love the candle holders with pressed leaves. So creative Linda. I always learn something new with your videos. Great content:)

[@newenglandfineliving]

Thank you so much!

[@GuilfordGardenCT]

@@newenglandfineliving Very welcome Linda:)

[@sharongruener6078]

Very fun and cute ideas. I like the fact that they are so inexpensive. BLessings.

[@homemaker4117]

Love both the garland and the leaf projects. I tend to be drawn to natural things like that. I collected some little birch twigs and pine cones on vacation and filled a basket with greenery and my scavenged goodies add some red berries and it's one of my favorite decorations this year. You're a joy to watch!

[@ruthgoddard6539]

Love the garland.so pretty

[@CM-pb7yw]

So creative and beautiful! 🤗💕

[@firelands80]

Love!!TFS!🍁🧡🦊

[@franceswitham8214]

I loved the garland! And the leaves are so vibrantly beautiful. An led candle would work if someone wanted to keep the leaves whole. You did an excellent job with both projects. I'm looking forward to more.

[@lauravandien2363]

I’m watching this a year after you posted it, but I am new to your channel and I am catching up! I thoroughly enjoy anything you do😊

[@donnarakitzis2719]

Really loved these crafts! Love ur creativity

[@brendajones130]

So nice and decorative. I liked it. Have a Happy and Blessed Thanksgiving!

[@bettycannon1204]

Loved your video. I was wondering if those book trees could be spray painted a pretty gold or metallic for Christmas. I think that would be a very pretty display doing different heights and sizes, and maybe colors, not to mention inexpensive. You have inspired me. Thank you for sharing. I always enjoy your content.

[@cathyhunter1263]

Hi Linda beautiful video

[@tammyleer9268]

Your the most creative Linda, both turned out great!

[@lizwalker791]

Thank you for these great inspirations..❤️👍

[@marymarks7046]

Beautiful structure. I really enjoyed watching make these projects. TFS

[@jodybacon5429]

I loved all of your ideas!!

[@dianaragub-schwartz4416]

im doing this corn garland next year.

[@nikkivenable3700]

I am just completely obsessed with your channel! I love all things New England...so this is right up my alley. My hubs and I are planning a move to Maine in 2-3 years...it's a lifelong dream for me. Seeing your content, your home(which is stunning) and your sharing of the seasons with us is a gift to all of us viewers.

[@nikkivenable3700]

I forgot to add that I'm doing a Thanksgiving tree this year thanks to you. I'm putting cinnamon dough ornaments, dried oranges and a few bronze bulbs and lights, of course. You've really inspired me this year!

[@newenglandfineliving]

I love hearing that Nikki! Enjoy your projects and try to live in the moment while doing it if you can!

[@xiloaduarte8505]

Beautiful!

[@myrebornlilliebeth5164]

Beautiful! Your videos are so soothing and I really love the things you make, even though I may not be making them for my home. It’s very refreshing to see Colonial/Traditional/New England style decorating, as so many are presently trending with the Farmhouse decor. I adore the classics! 😊 Love and hugs from Gloria in Mississippi 👼🏼💕💖

[@madelinestuart8827]

Beautiful craft ideas, Linda! Happy Thanksgiving! 🍁

[@bomashishalisa6434]

Everything you make is so adorable. I love the way the leaves kept their color while drying. And that garland - what a terrific idea. How I wish I lived in New England. I just love it there. Thank you for sharing your ideas with us.

[@Bhdez62]

I love all your projects it’s something that I would love to receive as a gift from someone, because it’s special and home made... thank you for sharing and taking us back to simpler times. 🙏💞

[@Lornawhitney]

Lovely crafts Linda. Can’t wait to see your thanksgiving tree ❤️🧡

[@ramancheema5dec]

Thank you!

[@barbiedoll6530]

Gorgeous projects! You are so creative!

[@newenglandfineliving]

Glad you like them!

[@marycurio5098]

Love the leaves on candles. I find old phone books are great for pressing leaves and flowers.

[@glendalafont1561]

You have great ideas

[@andree824]

It was a delight to see you make some wonderful DIY home decor, instead of getting store-bought items. Both decor pieces turned out beautifully : )

[@marywoodruff678]

Your show are so enjoyable. Keep on entertaining us. Thanks.

[@RavenStealstheNight]

The garland is absolutely gorgeous. I'll have to commit this to memory for next year. I'm so excited to see your future creations and crafts.

[@carolromeo3758]

Love your creativity ... and your voice and sweet Willow make me relax.

[@carmenlohr553]

[@rustygatecottage9061]

I really enjoyed watching your tutorial and never thought to dry corn husk. I hope you do a video on all your other drying items. They looked beautiful just hanging their drying.

[@lindarichie2585]

Love both of these projects! Wish we had trees that changed color here in Arizona desert ! I miss them so much and would make these ! May go and buy lose leaves 🍁 at craft store and make anyway ! Could work nicely!

[@deezahm9143]

You have a lovely home and the new decor really adds a festive touch. Thank you for these beautiful, simple ideas 🍂🍁🌻
