Anyone else feel like a slacker after watching Mary? Awesome video!

[@2jesusIbelong]

Some people just seem to have sooo much energy! Meanwhile I have pdsd, ADHD, anxiety, depression. All which make me live a very boring life. I have phobias that keep me home most of the time. Usually in bed. But in my imagination I'd be hosting parties like this. What a dream. ✨

[@mawmawstable594]

Yep!

[@johnbean3943]

Yes every time!!

[@johnbean3943]

Johns wife

[@Orwellwascorrect]

Always 😉

[@barbara-dj1uo]

There are no words to describe how beautiful this day was. Your love and devotion to your friends and your creativity and enthusiasm for beauty made an all time perfect party. I’m sure everyone is still smiling from the happy memories you gave them all. You are incredibly awesome, Mary.

[@SUN7SHINE25]

I agree

[@poodlegirl55]

Only our Mary could have a tea party video start out with power tools.

[@gwendolyndee]

AGREE🤣🤣🤣

[@choochalah]

she is a renaissance woman!!!

[@bobbik7149]

I can only dream about being invited to a party like this. You outdid yourself Mary. Your friends and family are so lucky to have you in their lives.

[@kimberleyp5333]

Funny, as I was watching, I thought the same thing. It would be great fun.🌞Fl

[@marilynbentley8015]

Absolutely magnificent!!

[@SUN7SHINE25]

Very blessed friends and family 👪

[@karenrobertson890]

Could not have said it better myself. Beautiful job!

[@lauriecrose8451]

I was thinking the same thing. 😊

[@RhubarbandRoots]

You deserve a show on HGTV. I’d rather watch your KZbin channel over any other show on right now. There’s just something so unique about your style. There is no one out there like you!

[@soniaquintanilla3280]

I would love to invite all my female family members to a lovely brunch like the one you hosted. It's beautiful. For my Mother's 80th birthday party I bought 4 bouquets of mixed flowers and bought mini milk bottles, rose-colored ribbon and made mini flower arrangements as centerpieces at the end I gave them away as party favors.

[@debbiesmith526]

Mary- I would love to have been invited to your tea party. Everything looks wonderful. Thank you for sharing your preparation of the event. I don’t believe that finding the folding wooden chairs was a coincidence. I do believe that God had it in His design. He has such wonderful timing!

[@jackiebest5613]

That table should have been on the cover of a magazine Mary! You have such a talent. Thanks for sharing.

[@weaverd0145]

I have been recovering from back surgery the last several months and enjoy watching your channel.

[@MultiLisa10]

WOW, everything was a French Country Chic! Nothing shabby about it! That centerpiece was beautiful!

[@mulletsara]

I was honored to be a part of this lovely garden party! Mary is an awesome hostess and made our youth girls feel so special while we were there! ❤️

[@lindanave6390]

You are so lucky to have been there!

[@happynanna4749]

And I’m so jealous!

[@leamonroe-odette1997]

Mary, your party turned out just beautifully!! I will say it again, you are a modern day Martha Stewart. Such resourcefulness and beauty in all you do!

[@iwatejapang]

Beautiful centerpiece! To help the hydrangea last longer, after you crush the ends of the stem, dip the crushed end in alum spice, and then place it in water. The alum helps the plant to draw water and keep it hydrated.

[@peggykelliher5698]

Good tip for all of us! Thank you!

[@elizabethbooth8794]

Thanks for your tip, Elizabeth

[@shabbyfufulady]

Does this work for other flowers too or just hydrangeas.

[@iwatejapang]

@@shabbyfufulady It is mainly for hydrangea, but can work well with other stems that have a spongy core like tree peony and sunflower.

[@karenwallace3297]

Your table was so pretty!!!! Your talent and creativity is beyond.

[@gwendolyndee]

I just love how everything comes together and how easy you make it look! Your calm demeanor throughout everything you do is proof that no matter what, if we keep our heads and leave doubt at the door, the outcome will be just fine…

[@NitrosMom074]

Mary, you are the embodiment of 1 Cor. 16:14. God bless you for all you do!

[@cindyclark9534]

Wonder Woman is my new name for you! You absolutely amaze me with the ideas you come up with!!! You would be a wonderful wedding planner!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@carolyost6733]

Whoever got invited to that party is 0ne very lucky gal. I'm sure you blessed your friends and in return you were blessed, too. Fantastic decor, food, fellowship. I hope you have observant friends who noticed all the detail of the decor.

[@elisaworkman9669]

What a beautiful garden party. I love how thoughtful you are with all the details. Your guests must have felt a little bit of heaven. 💚

[@Raggdoll52]

Every last detail was stunning! So elegant so special and it was all done with love and the glory to God and His creation and the beauty that He has surround us. It all was magazine worthy!! Please share all your recipes.

[@valleriemaccallum9919]

Mary - it looked like a 'story book' party. I love how you make everything so inviting and calm. Thank you again for your inspiration. Please tell MB that I love her nails. :)

[@curtischildress9580]

Every wedding/event planner located in a country/rural location who watches this video will go mad over the chicken feeder trough being used as a decorative centerpiece. Genius! I once did wedding photography having my mother as my assistant...never did we ever see a chicken feeder trough, or any trough for that matter as decoration. ...I so enjoy and learn from your videos where you make wonderful creative use of unexpected things and things you already have. Thank you for your time and work.

[@nancymelis2824]

The centerpiece, table setting, and food looked incredible! Such a beautiful setting. Well done!

[@grammybear4226]

🐼 Big Bear Hugs from a 68 yr old grandma in Kirby, Texas, USA 🐼 ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

[@sandrarivera8374]

I love the chairs & table setting! It was all so beautiful! The grapefruit around the table looked nice! I love all of your ideas! I wish I can live out in the country it looks so peaceful!💖

[@lindapatrick2676]

I love how detailed you are! Your taste is beautiful and you are so resourceful and talented. Appreciate your videos.

[@joycepryor9848]

I loved this video! You really set everything up so nicely. I was amazed by the decor and the food. Your guests should have felt so special and appreciative. My heart is smiling.

[@abigailh7715]

Precious Superintendent Twinkle is always there supervise 💜

[@pattiereiter9265]

This was ABSOLUTELY DARLING! I loved every minute of it! Just so beauty-FULL!!!! I am SO inspired! Thank you, Mary!

[@cherylstreeter1962]

Love how your husband helps you! You are wonderful inspiration......

[@conniestephens19]

I love the fountain going in the background, I know all your guest must have enjoyed it. The decor was beautiful.

[@randomvagaries5140]

It’s one thing to plan and execute a menu, but to also make the TABLE! Wow! Just delightful!

[@mooreacrestxgardenening4979]

Wonderful garden party. It makes me want to host one. Everything looks so inviting right down to the place cards.

[@peggykelliher5698]

So lovely!!! PRAISE THE LORD for the beautiful weather and keeping the pest away! Her handwriting is just so beautiful!!

[@beckyscheller9358]

Love the tablescape especially the chicken feeder flower center piece. Looks like so much fun.

[@marinazdravkovic8916]

This looks like a dream to me. Dear Mary...Lord blessed you whith so manny talents...you are so special..❤

[@chereeburtner4659]

Since I am such a fan of yours, my husband asked why I wasn't invited to this wonderful party! Of course he was teasing. But, you have such a knack of making everything so yummy and beautiful I feel like I was there. Thanks for sharing your talents with us.

[@terrychancellor4593]

Just BEAUTIFUL!!! I'm sure your guests felt so welcomed and spoiled!!!

[@gailrhodes7771]

Beautiful!! I absolutely loved this video!!! I think it is my favorite ever!!

[@sylgonzalezbelizeanmommy104]

She says nothing fancy and make an entire table...love it♡♡

[@lizdoherty5767]

Even though you were working hard, that was relaxing to watch. So beautiful. Thank you for sharing Mary 💜

[@nancywatt2780]

My favorite video….I admire all of your skills, building a table to cooking a delicious meal.

[@jack6964]

What a great setting! Loved it all! And what great finds in that chicken feeder and the chairs! Absolutely beautiful job Mary and MB!!

[@oldstuffbethtx8052]

Wowza! If you had bought the flower arrangement from a florist it would’ve cost hundreds of dollars. How fortunate to have your creativity & your sister’s garden.

[@karenlyle322]

If I didn’t live in Tennessee, I would have invited myself to your tea party. Everything was so beautiful. Watching the video made my heart smile 💖💖💖

[@janredfern3218]

As a guest I think I would appreciate so much all the attention to detail it would make me feel very special you did such a wonderful job

[@carolyndymond5521]

Mary you are such an inspiration.

[@Taai02]

What a very SOECIAL party!!! Your guests must have felt very cherished!!!

[@cheryldolan5555]

Mary I so enjoyed this video, you are such an inspiration to us all. Is there anything you can’t do? 🙂

[@carolynhamilton3316]

Wow wow wow! Just incredible. Your guests had to be blown away. And the energy you have!! And I say again, wow!!!

[@roxysage645]

Mary, your party decorations are absolutely gorgeous! I love that you are using everyday items and your own gardens to provide a magazine cover worthy event. Just a little imagination and a loving heart can turn any event into a time to remember for you and your guests.

[@carolg.6838]

I agree. The coffee cups from thrift stores was brilliant. The china was so pretty and even more interesting and pretty that it did not match.

[@joycetaggart3123]

You went above and beyond. When you kept working and changing things, I thought you weren't going to get done . Company is coming. It looked so pretty. the rack in the middle with the flowers was beautiful. The food was so pretty and made a statement. You were lucky to have your niece printing everything. I would have loved to be a guest. thank you for sharing. Joyce

[@dianekristensen9782]

Great ideas and inspiration...thank you!

[@carolbuchel3011]

All I can say is "Wow"! Garden parties are a lot of work, but to make, paint, and sand a table for it? No wonder, you're so slim-some of the items you were carrying were as big as you! I'd be down for 6 months after putting all that work and thought into an event-you're just amazing and yes! I want to come to the next one!!

[@lindamerrick8278]

Mary, you know how to host a Tea Party, how beautiful everything looked on your table. Loved the centerpiece your family and friends are so blessed to have you. . Thanks for sharing with us. God Bless 💐💐

[@maryfields6649]

Such an elegant and beautiful party. When I was growing up parties were a part of our lives. I remember helping my mom prepare and followed in her footsteps. My husband and I enjoyed entertaining. Watching you put this event together brought back happy memories and I hope it will inspire young women like yourself to a more gentile style of gathering with friends to enjoy good food and conversation in a lovely setting.

[@janetdavis5619]

Mary, you did an amazing job on your garden party! How blessed were those that got to attend! Everything turned out just lovely, thanks again for sharing your many talents with us🤍🤍💚💚

[@shabbyfufulady]

So beautiful. I know how much time and energy you spent to make your guests enjoy their day. Great job!! So pretty and relaxing.

[@patriciaaustin2301]

Love the dress! You can work and party in it. Everything was beautiful.

[@ellenreilley3938]

Mary how lucky you are to have a wonderful niece like MJ, I’m sorry if I have the initials wrong. Her hand writing is truly artistic. Beautiful party!

[@kimberleytramper8966]

I would love to host a party like this. I’m sure each woman that attended felt treasured and loved. What a gift you have Mary to put on such a beautiful garden party. MB has beautiful handwriting and was a major help in making this all happen.🌺

[@johnbean3943]

Absolutely beautiful as you always do Mary. You are so thoughtful and talented. I could not help but think when you found those chairs, that they were certainly a gift from the lord to you, how wonderful he is to us!! Thank you for the menu and planning information. I have done many of those parties myself back when I was younger and like you, I put my whole heart into it but was never as talented as you are. Johns wife

[@victoriajohnson914]

Everything turned out beautifully, Mary! The tablescape, the food, drink...everything! I hope it was a wonderful time! Thank you for sharing!

[@tammyhayes6204]

Mary!!!! Your table decor was so beautifully done! That chicken feeder with all of the fresh flowers was simply gorgeous! You are such a talented and inspiring person!

[@BJhasplans]

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!!❤

[@pamketron]

Everything is so pretty. Great find on those chairs. Even the water bowls fit perfectly in the center piece!!! Only you Mary can have everything work down to the bowls!!! God provides all that we need in everything we do. I can only imagine going to a dinner party like this. Such a dream. I’m sure the food was amazing. Great job! Hugs.

[@mariecrum8807]

Mary your attention to detail is off the charts, something so important when designing anything! Thanks for sharing you beautiful set up! I love your candles they sure smell great, not to strong of a smell at all, but just right. I have bought some while visiting Amish country!

[@shellydehart8217]

What a energetic person you are. How sweet of you to do this for family n friends. Everything you did looked so pretty n the food YUMMY. That table you did, what a great idea. That way everyone got to sit all together, no separate little tables. By the way the table turned out nice too. Wow, the Lord really blessed you that day to find all those nice looking folding chairs. I liked the idea with the putting on that label. As I said before, you just keep amazing me of all that you do. I hope you never slow down in your creativity it would be so sad for us. Blessings ♥️♥️😊👍👍👍

[@maryhelenhayes6859]

Lovely and so inviting!

[@caroleprisk5068]

Loved watching this. Everything looked beautiful and delicious. How lovely for your friends and family to enjoy a morning of fellowship and be treated as honored guests. You are such a treasure.

[@annaibarra3447]

Mary you have outdone yourself! You went out of the way to make this party for your guest, such a treat. The day was lovely, the table it was perfection with it all imperfections. That floral display just beautiful. Then finding the folding chairs, but in white and in the amount you needed. That is like the stars aligned for you, so you can have a beautiful party for you. The menu looks amazing. Super Mary you are! Plus MB is your right hand lady. Love her.

[@Luciwho1]

The garden party looked amazing! I'm sure your guests had a wonderful time : )

[@phyllishaynes1544]

Oh what a lovely garden party. I know your guest got such a blessing from being there. You absolutely amaze me with your unique ideas! 🌻🐦🥀🌿

[@kathyf7862]

Such a beautiful, inviting setting you provided! You reminded me that we really need to have more special occasions like this one in our lives. Taking time to provide a beautiful experience for friends and family is a priceless gift. Your kindness and grace shines again!💕

[@teresastradling8755]

I do not know how you find time to have a garden party with all the other things that you have going, but I for one would love to have been there. Everything looks so beautiful. Not only are you a hard worker but you seem to be an amazing organizer too.

[@vickyyingling2252]

Everything looked absolutely beautiful! I've never been to a garden party but would have loved to have joined yours. The food looked delicious and the atmosphere divine!

[@janiegiordano9295]

Superwoman! What a delight it was to watch this video. Wish I had been one of your guests. The script on placecards was beautiful. You were so lucky to find those chairs. Everything was perfect!

[@tamaranichols6821]

Mary, everything was so lovely! I'm sure your guests left feeling very special from the love you put into your event. I know I would.

[@sheilaadams4181]

Mary, you do beautiful work in all the tasks you undertake. You have such positive energy and make all things lovely. You are an inspiration to me, a newly-made widow of one and a half years in my mid 70's. I now have renewed energy to take on a few projects to improve my large patio area. I live in AZ mountains, so it is difficult to grow many of the flowers I love. I love your yard and deck. This must have been a wonderful and enjoyable garden party. It looks so lovely.

[@Aiko2-26-9]

I like having parties in my home, too, but I don't start with building a table and I certainly don't have 12 matching chairs. Your party was so beautiful and the food looked delicious.

[@snuggleb100]

I’m I the only one that wishes we could be invited to Mary’s garden party n stroll through the beautiful gardens while sipping on strawberry lemonade?? So incredibly beautiful Mary. You are so talented thank you for sharing it with us. Here’s a suggestion, have an open house twice a year and sell tickets. You will sell out! Hugs n blessings

[@lilymorales5922]

As always, everything is gorgeous. Love the centerpiece & the entire table setting.

[@Fairland3]

Your eye for detail is everything! An artist!

[@NotTooShabbyPatti]

As always, everything turned out just beautiful! Your attention to detail is amazing and inspiring! Your guests are blessed to know you. 🌸

[@garymcdade4446]

What a beautiful memory you made for your friends with that lovely garden party! My husband and I celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary this year and I still remember the luncheon one of my bride's maids held for me and the other bride's maids the week before the wedding. She had beautiful decorations and the main course was barbecued chicken legs with paper frills on the end of them . . . she made the frills herself . . . so fancy! Thank you for sharing your preparations with us!--sheila mcdade

[@marybroyhill1976]

Everything is beautiful. I so admire your talent.

[@sandyg8794]

Hi Mary! Everything turned out beautifully! I especially liked the chicken feeder as the centerpiece. Kudos to MB on everything she did to help you, and her handwriting is absolutely beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing!

[@karenhoffart7431]

Such a beautiful garden party I would love to have been invited to!! Everything is so beautiful, love the flower arrangements. You would be an awesome event coordinator❤️❤️

[@triciacaliri9244]

Dearest Mary, Your heart is genuinely precious!! Your love for family, friends, and folks is evident in your thoughtfulness and generosity that your pour into every detail of your projects. May you be treasured and cherished always. 🌻

[@sandychism6098]

Mary, the party was stunning. Love that you mixed things up. The chicken feeder - genius . When I was younger and had a lot more energy I had along with church friends many tea parties. They were so fun and I loved the look of all the pretties together. I hope your friends enjoyed all your beautiful items and foods.

[@tabbydavis4328]

Mary you are so talented. Everything looked so beautiful.

[@violetflame88]

You created the perfect Garden Party setting! Everything went together beautifully. The folding wooden chairs were an amazing find and will last forever. I am not a fan of the bulk metal folding chairs. Table, chairs , center piece and dishes ....all perfection. Thank you for capturing this and sharing.

[@maryannsosa3032]

Everything was perfect. Loved your centerpiece.

[@irmarodriguez885]

So, now I want to host a garden party. 🥳🥳🥳 As always, Mary, everything was simple yet spectacular. Simply spectacular. ❤

[@janettetalerico3134]

Oh Ms Mary, that was the most beautiful party table. The food and drinks looked so refreshing. 💓🦋💓

[@lauraking379]

I have a lot of parties like this and it is crucial to prep everything that you can ahead of time and even clean up is easier. Mary your endeavors are always a class act.
