[@1824walkerfarmhouse]

Thank you and thanks for sharing!

[@susanclark8654]

I had to move to Louisiana almost 4 years ago to take care of my aging parents. I didn't realize Jimmie died. We used to chat when I would go to Beaver Creek. We also shared a few antique/thrift haunts and would see each other at those venues. I am exceedingly sad to hear of his passing. 68 is entirely too young to go. Thank you so very much for your lovely video. I only wish he were still at Beaver Creek so when I go visiting in VA I could see him. Truly an exceptional man.

[@1824walkerfarmhouse]

Thanks for watching and sharing!

[@rogerkunar6473]

Jimmy seems like he was a wonderful guy so nice that you are remembering him today 😊

Jimmy & Dean were such talented gentlemen. I first discovered them through their Season’s book, which is one of my favorites! I’ve made many of the crafts in their book over the years! ❤️ My decorating style is very primitive/early American and add seasonal touches. I especially love adding Americana & I too collect old parade flags! Thank you for this beautiful video & tribute to Jimmy!

Thank you for sharing your friendship with Jimmie and Dean. I met them both at the Heart of Country show in Nashville many years ago. They signed their garden book for me. Nice conversation with both of them, such a tremendous loss. Really enjoy your videos 👍

[@1824walkerfarmhouse]

Thanks for sharing!

[@bomashishalisa6434]

I only found out about Jimmie and Dean when someone on FB mentioned their Seasons book. It looked like something I would like so I ordered it. It far exceeded my expectations. What a beautiful tribute to their gorgeous farm. I read the entire book sitting on my back deck on a beautiful Fall day. It sits on a table in my living room now, and looking at it, I just know I am going to sit down and read through it again. Thank you for your wonderful videos.

[@1824walkerfarmhouse]

Thank you for sharing and thanks for commenting!

[@tomgeary5110]

I never met Jimmie but I’m thinking I would have absolutely enjoyed him!!

[@1824walkerfarmhouse]

You would have.

[@DeannaMoyers]

This is so amazing…..I knew Jimmie and bought several things from him over the years….when he was at Beaver Creek Antiques and I sold from Antique Crossroads Mall in Hagerstown MD located next door. I always appreciated his talent for design and the kind of pieces he was drawn to - his displays would be the first place I headed when going in the shop. Thank you for sharing this information and the special things you bought from him. Sadly I never acquired one of his books….I’m sure they are treasures.

[@1824walkerfarmhouse]

We always went into that mall too. Thanks for sharing!

[@lucaschannel6030]

That was a beautiful tribute.. wish I could have met him and bought some of those wonderful things.. you guys are great love your Channel

[@1824walkerfarmhouse]

Thank you so much for your kind words!

[@raymondprizel7626]

Saw my first photos of Jimmy and Dean's home in Country Living magazine I believe and loved it so much . I was lucky enough to purchase seasons on eBay. I loved the mittens colors and was excited to see you decorate your mantle. Loved the valentines video. We heard you Audrey just fine. Have the best day. My style now is primitive and always colonial. Stay cozy. ( Kimberley from Western N. Y.)

[@1824walkerfarmhouse]

Thank you Kinberley!

[@luanadillingham5748]

Thank you for this video. I never knew Jimmie and Dean but I followed him for many years beginning with Country Home magazine. I have Seasons and Windowboxes. Would love to smell his candle scent. He was talented and I was saddened by his passing.

[@1824walkerfarmhouse]

I agree! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@alisongarst2445]

I'm so glad that you did a video to remember Jimmie. I first him at a friend's shop outside of Fairfield, PA. That was in the fall of 1989. Various crafters were invited to that PA shop named Whimseys. They set up outside, demonstrating their crafts. (The shop was formerly in Frederick MD.) My mom was demonstrating rug hooking that day. Jimmie's brother, Doug, was there, too. Doug was interested in learning how to hook so he could repair old rugs. I would run into Jimmie at shows, or while out in the area antiquing. Once I picked up a grungy turquoise-colored movable 3-towel bar and he was disappointed because he was going to pick it up. I inherited my love for primitives from my mom and dad, who started collecting in the late 1950's! The last time I saw Jimmy, I ran into him in Safeway in Middletown about a year after Dean had passed. We both went in to get supplies to make cookies for Christmas. He was on his way home from visiting his dad, who was in a nursing home. He hadn't been driving too long, because he didn't like to drive. Dean did the driving. But after Dean was gone, Jimmie had to do it. The two of us stood and talked for an hour. I surely do miss bumping into him when I'm out and about. He was a trendsetter, for sure. I have all of the books that he put out. I also have a few items that he made. I do cherish all of them and the memories. Thanks again for making this video. Jimmie was one of a kind, and he seems to have touched so many people's lives, whether through the antique mall, Dean and Jimmie's work with Mary Emmerling, Country Living Magazine, and the wonderful books they had published. If Jimmie knew today how loved he was, and what fond memories so many people have of him, he would be honored. ❤

[@1824walkerfarmhouse]

I really miss jimmie and Dean. They both have inspired me so much through the years. Jimmie invited me to his home shortly after Dean passed away and it will be a memory I will always hold dear and near to my heart. I often look at the pictures of his gardens and the two of us and it reminds me of a beautiful day. I absolutely love the brown homespuns and was lucky enough to end up with 5 little brown homespun aprons from Jimmies collection along with another homespun piece.

I exhibited at those shows for many years and wonder if we ever met.

Hi Audrey and Dave, I especially enjoyed this video about Jimmie Cramer. Many years ago while passing through Keedysville, we stopped and peeked at the exterior of his house and yard. We had recognized it from seeing it in Country Living Magazine. It was so beautiful. We later learned that he grew up in Walkerville MD, which is a town about 10 miles from our house. We wish we had met him. Thank you for showing us the Items you bought from him.
