Hi Linda, just want you to know how much i enjoy your. Web site. Im turning 75 the 27th. And you have encouraged me to start. Thinking about gardening this next spring. I lost my husband 17 years ago and have raised 3 grandchildren and helping my grandson raise my first great grandchild Ryah Leeanne ,whos 2. I so enjoy your shows, and want you to know how much you up lift my down days, and add sunshine to brigthen my day. Hugs and prayers Linda from Cheryl in Bakersfield Calif. Wish i had you as a neighbor...lol lol lol.

[@tammy6816]

Happy early birthday Cheryl! I hope you have a wonderful special day! Merry Christmas! ❤🎉🌲

[@maurawhelan3530]

Get out and garden girl! So good for the soul. Happy Birthday

[@stacythompson3175]

I am so excited that you'll be on Homeworthy!!!! I'm a Homeworthy junkie and have gained so many tips from watching the home tours. Two of my favorite channels colliding. I can't wait!

[@suz1680]

Same!

[@YvonneOakes59]

Me too! x

[@SophiePickles]

Me too! What a collaboration!

[@vanessas3495]

Omg! What a wonderful compliment to you Linda! I love Homeworthy. Congrats !!!!

[@lindylou3519]

That was a sweet story about your Dad. As we are much older & grandparents now, it means more than ever before that we share the holidays with our children around us.

[@kaken3137]

Love the "grand-dog" - she's adorable!

[@deborahbavas6514]

Love to see Goose again! Such a sweetie pie! The cottage is “beginning to look a lot like Christmas!” So pretty! Love the idea of having a color scheme room!

[@RosemaryOltarzewski]

Just gorgeous x😊

[@aprilmogensen]

The story of your dad that you told can make me cry (so touching), about him enjoying you all around. And the turtle your mom made in one of her hospital stays & to think of this mother having so many children, she had to part from. My mom's father passed away at the age of 34 of cancer, he was the father of 8 children. My mom's parents married very young, he was 16 & her mother 17 when married. He died a month before my mom turned 3 yrs old & he never got to see his 8 th child, she was born the end of feb & he died march 3 rd. My mom's mother later had 2 more children (twins) - so she was the mother of 10 children & she loved loved her kids coming to see her & us 30 grandchildren. Linda, everything you do in your home looks beautiful --i like the christmas tree in the public bathroom.

[@barbarathomas2471]

Homeworthy is one of my favorite channels!

[@kerryclare3456]

Dogs love their grandmas, because we spoil them. 😊

[@mgee909]

That’s the best looking “public bathroom” I’ve ever seen.😂

[@sydneykasmar]

Thanks for the look at some of your decor for Christmas. It's all really lovely. Glad Homeworthy choose to knock on your door. It's such a great channel.

[@RosemaryOltarzewski]

Oh just love the silver tinsel tree with the blue theme, just gorgeous ❤. Sending love to you and your family from Rosie O from a frosty Devon, England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 x

[@peggy1844]

Linda, that’s a beautiful story about your dad. When you have a large family your active parenting years stretch out more than usual. Our youngest is 18 and our oldest is 40 with 8 children in between so children have filled our home for 40 yrs....I so understand what your dad was saying. All the activity that a large family brings defines our life for so long. ...might be tiring but it’s oh so fulfilling!

[@blakehahn-atlantaga8510]

First- Goose is adorable! I have 3 rescue pups and they are the best! Cannot wait for all the home tours! Thanks Linda and Stewart!

[@nitahiltner3348]

My mom had an aluminum tree one year with one of those color wheels that changed the tree colors. She also had a pink tree one year. I am doing retro so everything is red, white, gold and white.

[@beverlyasleson3321]

I grew up with an aluminum tree with the color wheel that was so cool back in the day 55 years ago.

[@BrendaofNiagaraCanada]

I just came back from a Christmas Home Tour. They all had their bathrooms decorated for Christmas. So festive.

[@jamescross1395]

So many sweet moments in your video today, and Goose is quite the charmer! She obviously feels quite at home in the cottage on the hill!

[@carolcook9135]

The relationship you have with the neighborhood's little girls is precious. Thanks for sharing.

[@ABagwell]

You are so chill and relaxed with your guests and grand dog visiting right before two big house showings!! I’d be so stressed out wanting everything to be perfect and preparing for the tours. How do you not stress out about it? Wish I could be more like you!!

[@kimberly6123]

“Whimsical and a little bit weird.” That is my decorating style! Love it.

[@bridgetofczarzak5461]

I had my grandkids send me a list of things on Amazon that they would like for Christmas…I got a lot of ideas they really would like….got them ordered in no time with things they would like to have..instead of me guessing what they might want….super easy❤️

[@glgardener4972]

Stewart had lots to chuckle about on this one!!! I gleaned so many ideas with this Linda. I now know what is lacking in my master bath: I have a soaking tub with bubble bath and candles....but I NEED a Christmas tree in my bath....I am going to look for one tomorrow. It will look and feel so festive. This Christmas will be a little sad as both our children are moving away for jobs: one to Europe and the other to the west coast. It's going to be lonely without them. I absolutely love HOMEWORTHY and congrats to you. Thanks so much.

[@jetv1471]

I think you need to rename it to the “cottage spa “

[@monikanovich5649]

It is beginning to look really beautiful in your cottage Linda! I can't wait for the final tour!

[@mayshirazi8564]

Linda you need one more stocking for your grand dog .

[@cindydebenning1470]

You work so hard Linda. I enjoyed all your beautiful decorations. Your silver tree is stunning 😍

[@pegbro6163]

I am so excited for you Linda to be on Homeworthy! You and Homeworthy are my two favorite shows! So happy for you. Love seeing the start of your Christmas decorations, so pretty.

[@teresacapps5549]

I LOVE the Christmas trees, especially the parlor tree! 🎄

[@RosemaryOltarzewski]

Great idea to have matching tree decorations to match the room colour.❤ from 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@helenfox6502]

Greetings. In Knoxville, TN the Old Knoxville Holiday Victorian Home Tour is December 2nd and 3rd. One of my favorite events leading up to the holidays. Always enjoy seeing the lovely homes. So much work in preparation and you seem to make it so easy.

[@debbierice2618]

Congratulations Linda on Homeworthy. I can’t wait❤️. Loved your video today your story about Christmas and your Dad touched my heart. My mother had dementia forv17 years and her favorite time was Christma being one of 13 children She would always say I want to go home and after a few years we realized what she meant was that feeling of Home was being with her Mom and Dad and siblings and now family. Make it count every day just like your Dad said Series, oh yes.❤

[@maicietepoel9735]

My grandsons are going to flip over the Harry Potter wand lighting candle idea!

[@128titanic]

Thank you , Linda and her family. Best wishes and Happy the week. ❤

[@gardengal26]

I really enjoy watching Homeworthy...it provides a lot of inspiration. Can't wait to see your place all put together! You're off to a great start!🎄🎅💗

[@bettygotschall4504]

Im glad you are decorating to match your parlor, those blues and silvers look so nice. I too do not do the traditional red and green, I decorate to match my decor too. In olives, browns and ivory.

[@terrycourtney8011]

Good morning Linda and Stewart - I just want to thank you for sharing your beautiful home and holiday decorations, you have really sparked some holiday spirit in me. I'll be starting to decorate today!! Happy holidays!😊

[@TheresaAnneBrown]

Your home is stunning Linda, and you must be having a ball learning all the ways to decorate your cottage during your first Christmas! I'd love to know where you purchased the buck and doe ornaments. I just published a fable for children titled, The Buck and The Birds. I'd love to purchase these adorable ornaments for my Christmas tree to remember this special year.

[@92ives]

I love how Goose coordinates with the parlor color palette, so Linda!

[@julietaylor9638]

Linda, that was a sweet, moving story about your dad. We hold those we love in our hearts and through us, they live on in precious memory. Good to see your kid’s dog again, too. What beautiful ideas you shared on this video! Thanks you for sharing your life with us.

[@patriciaflores2776]

Love all the TIPS and your tinsel christmas tree .goose is pretty heartwarming story about your dad thanks for sharing🌟

[@d.l.n.7133]

I love Homeworthy! I am so excited that you will be featured this year. The young lady who hosts the tours is such a wonderful host. Good news that Brian will be on again. Love the newest addition to your home ….now, you need a needlepoint pillow that says “ a house isn’t a home without a dog “

[@tina8palmer]

I watch Homeworthy all the time, congratulations.

[@lindamiklos4964]

Thats so awesome your home will be on homeworthy. 👍

[@danielarenner4102]

Loved the way we could hear the Saturday noon tornado siren in the background and no one noticed or said a word!! Only a local would have a clue about that sound . Goose is utterly adorable! Thanks for all the wonderful decorating ideas.

[@averyroberts6143]

So exciting you will be on Homeworthy! Love Homeworthy. I actually rewatched Brandon’s townhouse tour yesterday. It was fab x I lived in Old Town Alexandria years ago. So beautiful in the fall and spring with all the cherry 🍒 blossoms.

[@lindal.8861]

I am so interested in your fireplace coals or lava rock and wrought iron container that you have in your living room. I have only seen logs before. It is beautiful. Could you talk about it in one of your videos. Thank you Linda.

[@noreneclaburn1782]

Beautiful decorations! I am so glad you will be on Homeworthy, I am a huge fan of that channel. Your bathroom is gorgeous. God bless.

[@linetteterry1845]

When I need additional seating…….I use folding chairs. However, I make custom slip covers to cover the backs of the chairs. I then tie a ribbon or decorate rope around them with an additional adornment on the back of the chair.

[@margaretfrise8047]

You made me cry when you told the story about your dad and that's not a bad thing. Love the bathroom tree.

[@LoriAtHomeByTheCreek]

Seating? I use 2 end tables and 1 coffee table as benches if necessary. They are very basic and rustic. I have turned them into benches "permanently" on my covered front porch and bring them in as necessary. They're perfect. I put a cushion or little blanket on them to match the decor.

[@char8a291]

Love love love GOOSE! 💕💕💕🐕

[@nancydorn2524]

It is just wonderful that your kids want to use your bathroom. It makes “going home” so special.

[@lynnthow1650]

Congratulations on the Homeworthy tour! So exciting ! Looking forward to all of the Christmas tours!❤️🎄❤️

[@margaretchiodo-keller4495]

Goose is adorable! Rescue animals are the best. Your home looks lovely. I especially liked the silver holiday tree with the blue and white ornaments. I did this same theme many years ago, and I loved it. I love a blue, white, and silver theme for the holidays because it perfectly matches my living room/dining room year round theme. Thank you for sharing your lovely home with all of us. I always enjoy taking some time to watch your videos.

[@rebeccafrancis8227]

Thank you Linda for sharing your lovely home with us. I look forward to the Christmas Tour continuing!!!

[@amymathews9491]

I bought my grandsons those candles and they love turning them on with the wand!!

[@juliabinford6500]

Oh my, goose is a sweetie! You are going to have one busy week!! It’s better than getting ready to move, though. Especially love the parlor tinsel tree. 😊

[@roserizzo3094]

Every time I watch you Linda, I smile! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home and decorating ideas! Merry Christmas! Hugs and love!

[@gina5827]

Love how you've decorated the parlor. It's so pretty. I'm sure it is so fun decorating a new home. I'm looking forward to seeing the rest. 😊

[@susanhenson4200]

With that hearty laugh....Stewart just might be Santa!!!!!! I love it. I wish I could have seen him chuckling. Linda kept going but her cheeks were flushed in a light moment. Maybe it’s not accurate, but the working relationship seems warm and happy.

[@theskiesthelimit-q2k]

I love Homeworthy! I will be fun to see you on it!

[@gracefulgrowing144]

TIP: I bought Linda's Garden Journal. I LOVE it. I covered the Journal in press n seal plastic wrap to keep it protected and clean. It's working great and doesn't take away from the beautiful look of the book

[@zzzzipy12]

Goose is too cute & sweet!!! ❤ Homeworthy!!! How exciting, I love their home tours! I think the stocking holders will work once the sticking have some weight in them for gravity. Glad all of you had a great Thanksgiving!

[@JulieinAl]

I use small screw-in gold cup hooks just on the underside of my mantel to hang stockings. So much better than the hangers and they don’t detract from the mantel decor.

[@rs-wj1sm]

I watch homeworthy every chance I get - will be watching!

[@lindamoll2282]

I'm excited for your home to be on homeworthy. I've been watching it for a while now.

[@cindymitchell6525]

It seems that you are inviting everyone to use your bathroom! Haha!

[@tracyslone66]

I’m as obsessed with @homeworthy as I am your channel Linda. So much beauty of all kinds. There is inspiration for all. Can’t wait to see your showing!!!

[@lindylou3519]

Agreed with the comment about being particular with the things we want & would rather send them the link or even better, pick it out at the store. As seniors we go out & get pretty much what we want or need so I’m being told hubs & I are getting tougher to buy for. Daughter works for a large nursery in Broken Arrow & gets everything at cost so I told her I wanted a Michael Carr pot & after many pictures sent, I picked the one I wanted.❤ Yay!

[@jo-annmaruszak9885]

That was a sweet story about Charlie. You are both so lucky to have found each other. ❤

[@GardeningSpirit]

I love homeworthy! Can't wait to see your home on there Linda!! Hugs to Goose... what a sweetie.

[@kerryclare3456]

I love that you entertain in your bathroom! As girls growing up, and later with my own girls, we spent SO much time in the bathroom getting ready for many occasions. It occurred to me that a lot of memories centered around that bathroom time. Who knew?

[@nancytimpa1981]

Congratulations! I love to watch Home Worthy!

[@KayeCarterTV]

❤Linda you give me so many great ideas. ❤I love the tinsel tree in your living room area and also I love the tree that you have in bath. I have two of those. sending ❤love, prayers, hugs and kindness with positive thoughts always looking for the next video.❤❤❤

[@ashleylitebrite6971]

We use benches for extra seating. It's worked for years. As soon as I saw your wand, I immediately thought of Harry Potter. So fun!

[@shelleyimmel8067]

I love Homeworthy and look forward to you being on it with your Cottage on the Hill. I loved your friend Brandon's tour as well last year and he really puts on a show for the holidays for sure. I always classy after one of your videos with a couple new ideas to incorporate into my home. Lovely🌲

[@shelleyimmel8067]

Brian Brandon last November on Homeworthy😊

[@shelleyimmel8067]

Branton!

[@danajones5143]

I love your Christmas decorating style with fresh greens and candles and the hurricanes. I notice your windo above the tub has signs of water penetrating the seal. It will eventually rot your window sill and frame. Check it out before the damage is permanent. It might just be that the water from your window box is the source and an adjustment in watering practice will solve it.

[@Slaw539]

Thank you for the sweet video, cheerful to watch.

[@beverlyasleson3321]

Oh Linda I love your bathroom decorations so elegant. The trees in your parlor is sweet I love how simplistic your house looks with all your cool decorations. Goose is such a good dog nice of you to let him in the house since it’s so cold out. Being in SoCal my dogs stayed outdoors plus I didn’t want the dog hair in my house lol.

[@Meganrenee333]

Then why have a dog?

[@QueenAnnesLace13]

I read a tip from someone who used removable command strips for Christmas stockings. I hung my stockings on them today and I like the unobtrusive look and strength of the clear hooks. My pups raced off to find Goose while he was barking.🐕☺

[@kfetter9046]

This was an absolutely delightful video! I am glad that your first Thanksgiving at the Cottage on the Hill was so memorable.

[@deannaladd5710]

I love home worthy so excited to see you on it!!1

[@azyEmpero]

You are creater, master of design, thank you for teaching us, ❤

[@lk2688]

Thank you for another wonderful video. What a blessing it is to see your home this “Christmas Series.” Congratulations regarding the Homeworthy tour! What a wonderful blessing; exciting for Oklahoma to gain such recognition as well. I look forward to all you continue to do at your “Cottage on the Hill.” May your December be filled with many precious memories.

[@SF-po3ql]

I am so excited that your house will be on Homeworthy! I discovered it on KZbin a month ago and have been binging it. Actually, wanted to write you to let you know about it, I’d you didn’t know the show already.

[@donnasmalley3713]

I think you are really enjoying spoiling your kiddos! ❤

[@laurenstarkey4141]

I love my clear plastic ghost chairs for extra seating. They stack and they don't visually compete with my queen Anne dining room chairs.

[@bitcoin_deb3428]

Just love all of it! I love the feather tree with all the variations of blue! So so pretty!

[@kristineolsen477]

Goose is the sweetest!! I'm so glad you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We did too with my youngest son and his wife of 4 weeks! So many great decorating ideas Linda. I did buy the brass candle holders so I'm going to use in glass hurricanes too. Great idea! Keep enjoying the series that is Christmas 😊 Your friend Kristine

[@carolcook9135]

Your home is worthy. A favorite utube channel in our home. I'm excited for you!

[@marciamellow1211]

So exciting My colors are the blues also. Just so beautiful and clean.💙

[@salimorton641]

Love the trees you have in the Bathroom and parlor window! Very fun!

[@cindiblazer8621]

My journal is perfect. I'm going to start using it after Christmas. Love your memories of your daddy. Enjoy seeing your color coordinating your decoration. I try to do that also, keeping in mind my little ones. So Santa paper lol.

[@queens6583]

I watch Homeworthy all the time and love to see fabulous homes all over the country. How exciting that they asked to tour your home. I really like the earring holder item and will have to pick that up for myself. My daughter and son-in-law have a Caique Parrot and he is my grand baby. He is like a child and does tricks and he loves to be with you all the time, which can be a bit trying at times. I have not done any shopping yet and I know I need to get going. First my tree needs to go up. I love the house when it's all decorated. Enjoy the family.

[@carolyost6733]

I'm there with you, our family Christmas is dec. 9th so i am in Christmas mide decor, too. In fact I'm all done decorating. Now wrapping, baking, i have a to do list. So my act is all together.

[@donnafilice5457]

Such a wonderful video made all the more precious with sweet little Goose! Thank you for all the design inspo and heart felt moments.❤

[@catherinemccormack199]

Linda. I received your/my journal last week, I can’t wait to start using it after I come back from Australia in the new year. I love it. Thank you. Catherine from Ireland.

[@jenneroc]

Thank you for sharing the process!!

[@teresahatfield4521]

Linda. Your home looks so beautiful for the holidays. You and Stewart make a great team. So much fun. Thank you for a wonderful video. God bless and have a wonderful holidays.

[@vivianreid4575]

Can’t wait for the Tour video!!! Everything looks fantastic! Thanks for sharing!!!!😆👏🏽😆👏🏽

[@terirachelsims8928]

I love that bathroom - I'd want to use it, too.

[@nancyevans822]

I thought you were allergic to animals! Goose is too cute.
