I actually think women are the most beautiful mid-30s to mid-40s. Best 10 years of life! (Not to say the 60s aren't awesome, too!) THANK YOU for turning us on to John Mark Pantana. I just went to youtube and listened to his whole album "Love Secrets" and wow, it's amazing. I will definitely be purchasing it. It's soothing and gentle and joyous. Actually, I'm getting that one AND "Mighty Grace" as well. WOW.

[@TinyAcorn]

Thanks, I'm glad to hear that! I'm enjoying being mid-30's! I'm so happy that you loved the John Mark Pantana album! He is such an incredible musician!

[@angelaa.9915]

Upcycling, very cool! Thanks for sharing your faves - so fun!

[@TinyAcorn]

Thanks so much! 😊 I'm glad you liked it!

[@rosannasauereisen2827]

I keep every bit of the makeup I own in one small makeup bag. I love it!

[@maryinthemaking7211]

Erica love the makeup and upcyclers! I know you could make some amazing clothing items of your own and would love to see what you would create...But know how “ spare time” is non existent 😅 Thanks for the music recommendation and thank you for being a Godly presence on KZbin. ❤️

[@TinyAcorn]

Thanks so much!! I do really miss doing sewing/upcycling projects. Hopefully, I will have time again someday when Monty is a little older! That's so sweet of you, I appreciate it! ❤️

[@thecaradiaries]

Erica!!! this was so fun to watch 🥰 I’m a huge John mark pantana fan as well!! That album has meant so much to me and my story! Love that you shared it. Much love from Pennsylvania 😘

[@TinyAcorn]

Hi Cara! Thanks so much! 🥰 That's so cool that John Mark Pantana's music is really meaningful for you also! Sending love to you too! 😘

[@rhillyermiles]

My grandfather made tufted rugs with the punch needle back in the 1980s. I was so good for him and they ended up lovely. He died in 1998 so thank you for making me remember this about him.

[@TinyAcorn]

That's so cool that your grandfather made tufted rugs! I'm happy to hear that it brought back a memory of him for you!

[@callan02ish]

OK, You and I have completely different styles, I’m 52, my boys are grown, ( I found you on here because I love to thrift) and I live in Northern Canada. What I’m saying is that we’re very different. I LOVE watching you! Our differences make me love your content. You have the most amazing attitude. Each time I watch you after a time, I remember how refreshing and fabulous you are!

[@TinyAcorn]

Aww thanks so much, that's so sweet of you! I'm really happy to hear that you enjoy the videos even though our styles are different!

[@jimandjudyc48]

LOVE the upcycled clothing ideas. Thanks for putting us on to this trend. So happy that you and your family are enjoying your new home. It looks just wonderful!

[@TinyAcorn]

It is such a fun trend! Thanks so much! Yes, we are really loving our new place!

[@brigittecastrucci6541]

Holy crap you’re 35!? You are a natural beauty. Love these favourites videos 👏🏻

[@TinyAcorn]

Hahaha thanks so much! I'm so glad you're enjoying the Favorites series!

[@deniseoates7147]

Yes I do like to watch upcycling videos. I watch @blueprintdiy, Angelina give great tutorials and even have a competition KZbin upcycle contest that just completed and it was totally amazing. So excited to see what the next group does I am really interested in the handbag that come with the makeup, so will be checking that out, Thanks for sharing and blessing to you and all in the days to come..

[@TinyAcorn]

Nice! I will check out blueprintdiy, that sounds great! I hope that you enjoy the Merit makeup as much as I do! Blessings to you too!

[@ashleyriggs6815]

I LOVE punch needle SOOO much! You need to bite the bullet and try it! I love John Mark Pantana. Love Secrets is beautiful!!!!

[@peachespark]

So glad you're loving Bakersfield! We are actually considering moving there this summer. How diverse is the community there? We currently live in West Hollywood/LA and though I'm happy to leave the city I'm worried we'll miss all the wonderful foods and markets that we enjoy so much!

[@TinyAcorn]

Oh wow you’re moving from West Hollywood! Not sure where you are planning on moving but if possible I would stick to the Westchester area. It’s closer to downtown and there are markets and stuff that go on. Although it’s definitely not as much as Hollywood I’m sure. I’m still learning the good places to eat here. I’ll name a few: Dot & Ott, Smitten, Nuestros Mexican, Prime time BBQ. Good luck with the move!!!

[@Myfairgirlie]

Yayyy fave #3 is out. Love it. Thanks for sharing them. I got the Merit bag and cosmetics. I also ventured into her skin care called Versed. Thank you for the book. Need more inspirations now than ever.

[@TinyAcorn]

Thanks so much, I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I hope that you love the makeup and book as much as I do!

[@sarahgrae8984]

The Oh Hellos are an awesome alternative Christian band. Their song “Hello My Old Heart” is great and their album called The Valley is great start to finish, especially if you read the lyrics when listening to the songs. They present the love of God in such a precious and different way with their music. Love them.

[@TinyAcorn]

Thanks so much for the recommendation! That sounds like an amazing album, I'm excited to listen to it!

[@coreychatman6332]

Love your outfit and your house. Yay 😁! Thanks for sharing this girl.

[@TinyAcorn]

Thank you!! 😊

[@annettemurielle]

Always enjoy your favorites! Too bad we couldn't hear the music. Looks like I'll have to go searching for it. :-) That makeup bag is adorable. I'm thinking I could maybe make one. The makeup looks amazing but I have to have everything fragrance-free, so might now work. Still, wonderful to know about it. And that dress! Adorable!

[@TinyAcorn]

Thanks so much, I'm happy to hear that you're enjoying the Favorites series! Here's a link for the music:artist.link/johnmark. Yes, the makeup bag would be a nice sewing project!

[@wawathunder]

I use tea towels to dry my dishes. I never considered sewing them into clothes. I miss thrift stores and fabric shops. We are in lockdown in Canada. No shopping. This is going on for awhile and likely to continue into June! Please keep sharing your videos!

[@TinyAcorn]

That makes sense for tea towels. I hope that you're able to go thrifting again soon! Yes, more videos to come!

[@juanitacarrollyoung2979]

Yeah! A new video from you 🥰

[@TinyAcorn]

Thanks! I hopeyou enjoyed it! 🥰

[@scentsofmoon]

There is a thrift store on Bernard st.near cross st is Union ave.

[@TinyAcorn]

Good to know! I definitely want to check it out!

[@scentsofmoon]

Yes Bakersfield is nice!it was called Ghost town back in the day.but it has grown alot

[@TinyAcorn]

I believe it! It has a lot going on now!

[@celiac93]

You should listen to Josh Garrles! Especially the albums “Love & War & The Sea In-between” and “Home”! There are soooo many good songs! And it’s definitely not Newsboys vibes 😅

[@TinyAcorn]

Thanks for the suggestion! That sounds great, I'll check it out! Hahaha Newboys vibes😅

[@mandicorbett3950]

Omg. I am eternally on the hunt for good music by creative Jesus followers. That’s how experience him the most- through music and rich lyrics. Thank you for sharing! (If you haven’t heard of Jess Ray she’s also a fave.) 🙂

[@TinyAcorn]

I feel the same way! Thanks for the suggestion, I'm excited to check out Jess Ray!🙂

[@dearlyemily7042]

I live so far away from family :( Your are so blessed to have your mother in law close to you.

[@TinyAcorn]

I'm sorry that you live far from family. We do feel very lucky to be so close!

[@TinyAcorn]

Thanks so much! I hope that you enjoy Merit as much as I do! Yes, I do try to keep it real with my reviews!

[@hopedivine6267]

Blessings to you and ur family 😁

[@TinyAcorn]

Same to you!🙂

[@susanma4899]

I love the little makeup bag. I feel like I could sew a bag like that myself. Do you watch KarenBritChick's channel? She has a few little bags that remind me of that one.

[@TinyAcorn]

True, the makeup bag would be a fun sewing project! I haven't watched her channel, but I'll be sure to check it out!

[@jojo-tl5ei]

[@peachespark]

HAHAHA about your Christian music comment. SO TRUE. Want to like it but...let's be honest...:D

[@TinyAcorn]

Hahaha Yeah I think it just takes some time to find the right Christian music to match your tastes! :D

[@thepreppygigi8216]

check out BlueprintDIY...she does amazing stuff, including tutorials on KZbin.

[@TinyAcorn]

Thanks for the recommendation! That sounds like it will be right up my alley!

[@shannoncarr7338]

You're right, I should just go for it!

[@brontec9769]
