[@tamimercer476]

I’m going to live vicariously through you Tessie. I’m trying to sort through stuff in boxes for the next couple of weeks so I’m not going to the thrift store except to donate😊❤

[@carolynlee8948]

I really love your little bears. You decorated the one so cute, and wow, you've already made some wax melts. Amazing. 😊

[@tamaraameling8885]

I remember wax dipped bears, where the wax was cinnamon scented.

The bear's basket would be perfect for notepad and a pen/pencil. Glad you didn't wax him. I have seen that not turn out well.😂

Hi Tessie,Yes primitive style is"1700-1800's"or early country, colonial.I have always decorated that style coming from New England it's found in alot of home's.I love your bears I was thinking if you put him on the bed get a piece of your herbs and put it where the spoon is or even in the Everyone needs to take a break from time to time.God bless you and Ken🕊️💚

[@HomesteadTessie]

Thank you so much for your sweet friend this video is actually a very current video I have thrown in a bunch of older videos that are about a month old I will be having an update video on Sunday just sharing with everyone that I actually been on quite a journey of not filming i've had some film that I've had previously videotaped and I took quite a long time off my thrifty Thursdays are current but many of the other videos were very much delayed I needed to give myself some time to reflect and to just enjoy life I have a lot to share coming up here real soon

[@laurakuehlke1320]

Hi, Tessie! I was helping friends with a work weekend (Thursday-Sunday) to get their seasonal lakefront lodging ready to open in June, and then a family party to celebrate my son and niece...so the last few days have been a blur. lol I'm enjoying relaxing now and catching up on your videos. LOVE your ideas for the wax melts and the bears. You're so creative and talented. 😊

[@susanh3936]

Tess I would buy tart warmers from you. 💕 you should do your projects and make a little store.

I love your authentic joy! I feel like the true Tessie is showing herself♡♡♡

[@mistypeters7506]

Oh Tessie you make me laugh! 😊

[@LLjean-qz7sb]

"FREE OR CHEAP" is my motto! Seems like you are starting to collect a lot of things again.( I hope not) My grandmother always used a pastry cloth when she made her pie dough and always scraped it with a metal spatula to remove any dough bits or excess flour( she said so it will not get bugs!) She never washed it! She had it all my life! The bear looks like a "seasonal" bear, dressing up for different occasions or jobs!😊❤🧸

[@bonniethiessen5506]

I love how the bear turned out!! ❤❤ Don't feel bad about the goose. I used to sing "And an ostrich in a pear tree " until my teacher heard me and corrected me. She was trying not to laugh.

[@pr9764]

That Is So Funny Bonnie 🤣

[@HomesteadTessie]

LOVE IT BONNIE !!!!

[@leecopeland2061]

Hahaha!! 😂 An u just see an ostrich in a pear tree?! It's good we can laugh at ourselves😂😃🥰

I have two build a bears that I often dress up in different clothes to sit on my bed I'm 55 this year never to old for ready bears .

[@deborahherring6077]

....if you did in scented wax, when the scent dissipates you just use a hot blow dryer in it to bring the scent back, so coll, hu?

[@virginiamaciuleviciene606]

Hi Tessie!

[@bernices9970]

Tessie you come up with the cutest ideas😊.

[@Gail-og6ye]

Hi Tessie, I love bears myself and the one you chose not to wax would have been my choice too! Good to see your uplifting mood tonight. You got me laughing 😅.

[@DeborahGusman-k8w]

Can't get over just how cheap the thrift store is that you go to. Here in Australia our thrift/charity shops are so expensive, sometimes especially clothing can be more than the regular shops, it's crazy!. Used to love trying to find that little something that was different but now its almost impossible!😔

[@jackieburnett6881]

Love Thrifty Thursday!!!Aww! The bears are so cute! You always find such neat things!!! Great video

[@pama.6410]

What a happy video! That bear definitely brought $3.00 of happy to the world today. Much more, I'd wager. Loved the juggling act at the beginning of the video. Can't call what you do "junking" when everything is in great shape and useful. We have baskets like the bear has and ours is for keys, especially little gate keys, extra keys etc. Looks like your basket had a paper pad and a pen holder on it. Love those little baskets. They bring their own "happy" to a room.

[@panhandle-raised924]

Hahaha! Yours is pastry cloth and mine is vintage silver icicles for Christmas trees. I cannot get enough of them. I know one thing...if they become extinct, I will have enough for many Christmases to come. 😁

[@HomesteadTessie]

Good morning Pretty Tessie ❤ We have had weird weather too but nothing that hot lol. 50's to 80 and lots of rain! My husband is rebuilding an outbuilding and turning it into a she-shed for me but with all this rain it is going to take forever to get it down. We found a really nice wood door left on our back porch (Our house came with lots of stuff) and some windows. and we were able to purchase 5 windows at the restore for $38 which was a huge blessing! I am going to use it to put all my pretty things in that can't be put out in the house because of hubby and the animals lol. They tend to break my things and get them dirty! Like my white throw blankets and comforter lol! Also when the 150 lb dog chases the cat inside the house when they are playing sometimes my things get knocked over. I just want a quiet place to go to read a book lol!

[@trcsunny2187]
