I’m Looking At Christmas Decorating Differently This Year

[@TheCatsthyme]

Thank you Linda for the peaceful, restful decorating encouragement. Great ideas. For the 'gilded kitchen' grouping, tiny fairy lights, small garlands, tiny decorations.

[@deeshea3286]

Fun video Linda, as usual. You offer such a little bit of everything which is why I love following you. Keep up the great work.

[@peggyawald2749]

Leah was such a beautiful gal, Good Luck to her , I really looked forward to seeing her with you

[@lanaritter9410]

Leah, was a very sweet young lady, miss her being on the video. Congratulations to Coral!

[@hollyssimplelife1634]

Yes we will miss her

[@lianeabeyta4515]

Also like another commenter , I am crushing on that gorgeous brass candle holder with the square base. I know you had these on the upstairs wicker table in the fairy tale house. I have loved them since the first time I noticed them. Like you, I love tiny, small fruit to decorate during the holidays. Nuts in the shells, little cutie tangerines and small crab apples are my favorite. My DIL just got a whole bag of tiny pears for my 3 year old grandson. I need some of those too. At 73... I draw the line at reading on my phone. Like nothing is a good as a real, burning candle.... nothing , to me, is as good as the look and feel of a real book. The pages, the covers, the tactile feel. Its an expierience to me. Learning how to simplify Christmas will put you in a much more zen state of mind.

Welcome Coral! Thank you, Linda, for another fun and informative video!

[@sandielindemeyer9341]

Can’t wait to see your gorgeous cottage decorated for Christmas.

[@marybeth4002]

The sweet wreath from your young son is so precious and looks great above the stove. Yes! I too got wise and now store my containers with the lids on them - with age comes wisdom!

[@truthbetold2611]

Love your pots and vases. Whatever you put together is always a delight to look at.

[@lisaadams780]

Leah will be missed! Congratulations Leah on your new adventures!🎉🥂

[@kfetter9046]

I so enjoy your "Signature Style Saturdays!" 🥰🌲

[@lindaga820]

I've switched to glass storage containers also. I hope that one day Leah can make a surprise appearance! Thank you Linda for all your ideas and inspiration !! Going to get rid of my plastic utensils too.

[@mrs.m1752]

Will you be using the sparkling-silver table-top Christmas tree that you used last year? I am wonder how you liked it; did the tinsel shed a lot? Your homemaking/entertaining videos are always a treat - looking forward to seeing more of your Christmas style & hearing more of your Christmas philosophy!

[@carolynvenema2264]

Linda, if your village pieces don't "stay put", I find a bit of poster putty on the bottom helps!

[@scarlethernandez1821]

A gente man in Moscow.....a beautiful, elegant, delightful read

[@marybeth4002]

I actually prefer when my amaryllis bloom after the holidays - something simple forward to.

[@cindiblazer8621]

As always, so enjoy your videos. Thank you

[@rosemaryd284]

Will miss Leah. All the best to her.

[@odemonet]

I LOVE Danny Wrights Christmas as well I have listened to it for years!

[@JoanWilliams-oj9kw]

I JUST LOVE YOU AND STUART! Thats all. Merry Christmas.

[@peggy-ann1961]

Welcome to the team Coral! We wish you a great experience with this awesome channel! 🇨🇦🎄❄️

[@pegbro6163]

I just love how you decorated your mantle. So elegant and pretty! It looks so like you.

[@nancybogart3960]

I have to say, I am watching from Minnesota in the USA, and I am not experiencing any other languages. Welcome Coral! Looking forward to your contribution to an already fabulous channel. Hello to Linda and Stewart!👋

[@deborahhopkins7763]

Looking so forward to seeing the cottage adorned for Christmas! 😃

[@kbell8889]

Happy Thanksgiving... and Merry Christmas! 💚 Linda, you look beautiful in your green tee surrounded by all your beautiful topiary. You've inspired my holiday decorating...thank you for sharing your love of gardening. Hope you, yours and your team have a wonderful December!

[@beckyk2581]

I love seeing the wreath box from your son each year. Btw, you always make me laugh, Stewart (2022 😅). Oh, and welcome, Coral! ❤

[@d.l.n.7133]

🤣 might be time to pull of a black sharpie and trace over the next number, especially as our eyes get older and the ink fades 😉

[@MrsMcCracken]

I also love the Libby app. And I love being able to watch movies and shows on hoopla and Kanopy through the library. I do use the Kindle app on my big iPad to read books on without having to have another tablet! Thank you again for all your information.

[@justanonymous5681]

Welcome Coral. 😊

[@rubylongtine9933]

Thank you for always sharing your thoughts and tips on the holiday seasons. I totally agree with what you said today!

[@theskiesthelimit-q2k]

I like the idea of decorating as you go. That's my plan/excuse for this year :) BTW, I always enjoy your book recommendations. Happy Holidays to you and Stewart!

[@laviwv]

I LOVE my Kindle❤

[@shelleypoels3495]

Speaking of kitchen utensils.. I grew up with a mom and grandmother who used spurtles

[@Murphyetal]

Fun inspiration video to get my decorating spirit on!

[@charlottedowns6652]

Linda, I loved this video. You have your life so well adjusted to an enjoyable lifestyle with confidence ,comfort, healthy living. You grow younger ,more glowing and are such an inspiration! Thank you for sharing you with us!

[@srouth9]

It’s so interesting when I saw the title this morning of your video. We are hosting a wreath making gathering today with natural forage. So yesterday was a flurry of activity putting away fall and Thanksgiving and getting ready for friends today. As we were transplanting our fall mums from containers to a garden bed I had the same thought about the Christmas season this year. I want to savor each moment, decorate more simply, spend less and focus on the hope that comes with the “reason for the season.” Thank you always for your inspiration.

[@teresacapps5549]

I love imaging the lives in the old homes.. ❤

[@sabine3769]

You could use walnuts to decorate as well instead apples or with them.

[@roserizzo3094]

Same here with the gift wrap! Using up what I have! Just doing what makes me happy, without the stress! Enjoy December Linda❤

[@aujkalenic4203]

Yes on Leanne's book.....I'm originally from Ohiopyle Pa area....close to Pitts Pa. I love the simplistic style she brings to the cottage

[@suehy4054]

Great episode! What article did you read about not using plastic leftover containers?

[@LindaVater]

Here you go! www.foodnetwork.com/healthyeats/news/throw-away-black-takeout-container-kitchen-utensils

[@sylviae6259]

I too am taking my time decorating this year. A little here and a little there. I love the shelf above your stove. The Alpine village is so cute and I loved the way you styled the village you thrifted last year.

[@KKinTex-p9i]

Those amaryllis are inspiring me to buy more for gifts! So beautiful!

[@gardeningforfunandlongevit6076]

Nothing beats a physical book especially when you turn and mark a page., so comfortable.

[@beverlyasleson3321]

Love the decorations I remember when you bought those candle cages at the thrift store great find. Oh do you have a link to your green blouse I love the collar too. 👍 Welcome Coral.

[@mireillebaan]

Welcome Coral

[@barbaracarlson1331]

Yes,I remember that!!!

[@VickyElyse]

Another great video. Love all the tips!

[@susanmason3432]

Welcome Coral. Linda, Where did you get the ranunculus? In N. Florida, we only have them in the spring. Decorating for Christmas slowly is a great idea. Hopefully, you will be able to relax and enjoy the season a little bit more. 😊😊😊

[@maryeliason1504]

I'm getting it in English now. Thank you.

[@d.l.n.7133]

I love Christmas flowers .. all of them .Whole Foods had a lot of started Amaryllis plants . Last year l became a full time FL resident and picked up two huge white poinsettias for either side of my front door . They stayed there until March looking great !

[@konniethrash7834]

Welcome to the team Coral ❤️

[@angiesmith7346]

Noticed your wicker, I believe that’s the material, and wondering where you purchased them!

[@saundramoragne3431]

A small green tree on the shelf with your Scandinavian ornaments would be beautiful!! Then you could but the larger gold houses to the left.

[@nancytimpa1981]

Welcome to Coral! Did I spell that right? Good luck on your endeavors Leah!

[@Annie-qu9ik]

Hi from Annie all lovely ideas to decorator for xmas. Like the clothes you are wearing too. Th rifting at this time of year is fun.

[@mariahickman5239]

Hi Linda I have a book for you to try. Winter Solstice by Rosamunde Pilcher. Enjoy it!

[@Alaineolier-zs5bd]

Linda, where did you get the pretty brass candle holder with square bottom, rings on each side and glass globe- sitting on the table with your honey? Thank you for creating several videos every week for your followers to enjoy. I always look forward to seeing them. 😊

[@JoanM-n7m]

I'm from the St Paul area so fun to see Coral on your team!

[@BarbaraRheinhardt-c4j]

Where brand are your wooden shades?

[@judyrhine234]

I feel the same way about too many books. That’s why I use the library I just love the library anyway. I want to feel the book in my hands not a instrument

[@BrendaofNiagaraCanada]

Love the blue throw on your chair. Where did you purchase it?

[@janetdavis5619]

Welcome Coral!

[@cgzone8]

Welcome Coral!

[@jetv1471]

Hey Stewart … 🧑‍🎄🎄Santa needs to arrive to the cottage on the hill !he is still going to the old house 😜😜😜

[@maryrogers5269]

The christmas sweater by glenn beck and his daughter's christmas album is great

[@trudymillard5133]

That’s what I do lid to container 👍

[@jeanniecollier6763]

Movie named "A Gift Wrapped Chistmas" - is such a good movie

[@NITA-f7u]

I am doing a little at a time too. Too old to do it otherwise.

[@letsgotravel7724]

So we’ve always been told that the wood utensils are bad because they harbor disease because they never really come clean. You also have to keep them oiled or they craft causing areas that again can harbor disease. So what are we supposed to do?

[@janebrider7388]

Do whatever suits you best, you’ll always find someone with other ideas. LV often says, “You do you, I’ll do me”

[@justanonymous5681]

Silicone utensils

[@signature_colorpink8954]

I am sad that Leah is gone. I thought the two of you worked so well together. I hope she will consider coming back.❤

[@appreciatinglife4425]

That's too bad because I liked her.

[@tobywinter1]

Love that green color on you.

[@peggy1844]

I really enjoy Signature Saturday. So interesting to see what you are doing and I have gotten a lot of fun ideas and book suggestions. I do have a designated Christmas work place. I have a craft room above our detached garage….though we converted the garage part into a mother in law suite several years ago. It’s a nice quiet place to wrap and a good place to put presents. Much better than in my bedroom and under my bed which was all I had available when all our children were young…..what chaos that was!🙂

[@joanlogan7416]

That was Fun!!! ❤🎄❄️🎄❄️❣️

[@NancyDore-cq3pe]

I have found if I shut it off and go back into the video a few times it then stops being in French and goes back to English

[@cathyc1079]

Yes mine was in French. Closed down the video and reopened and it was in english.

[@mrs.m1752]

It is great that you are using glass storages containers; they also sell ones with wooden lids, as an alternative to the plastic lids!

[@MattTheVegan]

💚

[@doreen9838]

Won’t the metal utensils scratch your pans?

[@staciejackson7497]

Only certain kinds of nonstick.

[@sabine3769]

Not stainless steel

[@MyraJones-jf3ti]

I enjoy your tips so much! You are looking so beautiful, have you lost weight or on a special diet? If so, please share!

[@jamierae7405]

I was too. Turn it off and back on. It should come back in English.

[@lollishotts5556]

Why did the sound turned to another language? It sounds like a woman is speaking French.

[@d.l.n.7133]

That didn’t happen with mine . Sorry 😢 that is frustrating!!!

[@cherylthepearl827]

Here we go again with the foreign language. 🤪🤦🏼‍♀️

[@sherryKnisely-vn4kq]

What would I do without you.

[@roxanneelsey6266]

I hear Japanese unless I go out and try again later, then it's English

[@ericlopez568]

The video on my end only plays in French or Japanese

[@rosemownow]

🤣

[@jillshippy5157]

Why on earth am I hearing this in FRENCH?

[@ksinks2009]

You can make cations in english

[@sandysmom100]

That happend before with her channel it was in German and french something KZbin did to her .

[@jennifermcduffie6889]

This happened to me last night but this morning it’s all in English.

[@welc0meh0me]

😂 Je ne sais pas, Madame.

[@mayshirazi8564]

You still have the price tags on your thrifted Christmas items . 😂😂

[@janicekadhim7456]

Yes, she keeps them there to show us, then removes them after filming

[@mayshirazi8564]

@ so how do you know ? You live with her? 😃

[@gloriagibbons1744]

She does that each time until she actually decorate with pieces first!

[@mayshirazi8564]

@ She had them last year and decorate with them..
