We are just about ready to decorate the whole house, but before I do, I wanted to share this year's thrifted haul. Also, let me introduce you to a kindred spirit of mine, Krysta Meeker. I just know you will love her style and all the things she has been collecting for her home, as well. kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5TbdIuYfJJ5gK8

That rolling pin with sweater pattern would be great to use to make air clay Xmas ornaments. Roll out on clay and use cookie cutters or just circles to make hanging ornaments.

The Firestone stations did give out the records after you bought your gas and you could purchase the album for .99 or 1.99. I was always excited when my Dad would bring these records home at holiday time.

I loved “I have nine Rubbermaid totes”. I have 75! I’m serious. I’ve been collecting for 50 years, but this year I have finally decided I must eliminate half. I’m at the age where I need to purge and then purge again. It’s so hard to get rid of things that hold so many memories. I used to do 6 trees, now I do three. It takes me over a week to decorate and two to take it down. I’m at the time of my life when I just can’t keep doing so much. 💔🎄I recently discovered your channel and I love it.

@countryfrau8328 9 ай бұрын

I'm 66 and have always only done 1 tree...well, we have a place in the country so 2 trees. Our kids are in their 20's and for any holiday they come for I'm like "Lets go through the box for this or the next ho!iday" so they can decorate their own apts or I can be sure they get the things that are meaningful for them. So far they have taken nothing. I also quit putting up a tree in town because they aren't interested in decorating it or in taking things off the tree to take or pack away. I do a great job in the country but my city kids don't care to even go there. What a group of duds!

@silvergirl7810 9 ай бұрын

Me too and I am really struggling with it though- it doesn’t make me happy to get rid of things and there’s zero inspiration doing things this way (Getting rid of instead of going to the store and finding something to inspire me to decorate and add to what I have). 😢 “I’ll have a blue Christmas” -Elvis. I’ve thought about just continuing the mess and when I die it’s someone else’s problem- they can light a match and walk away.

Probably not but I’d like to think I can. I have no kids so my mess gets dumped onto my executors . So the more I gift now, the better.

Somewhere, i read or heard this advice when it comes to curating your space. 1. Dont lock your decor into seasons. Obviously, some things are going to be 4th of july, or Christmas, but the majority of what you accumulate should be able to travel through the year as well as theough time . 2. Keep away from the "in style" things, and focus on "my style". If you love lace curtains, find them and own them, and USE them, even when they " aren't in fashion". A lace curtain makes an amazing table cloth, or "snow" under a tree, or wall art. 3. Love what you love and shed the clutter. If you love vintage brooms and have 20, display them, show them off, love them, and if you have a shelf of copper you dont love, send it on its way. 4. Removing old decor and errecting new decor, should take less than 2 hours per room.

When my children were growing up, I bought sale gingerbread house kits after Christmas and put them in the freezer to use the next year. AND I bought loads of marked down candy and stored it in the pantry. We did not eat the houses but they were used for decoration only. Why not? Saved a ton and the kids loved having all that candy to choose from.

@mariehayes6934 10 ай бұрын

Ah, the FIRESTONE RECORDS! My grandfather collected them all and got them in the 1960’s when the gas stations that sold Firestone tires gave them out for free. As a child, he would put them on the record player and dance with me. With that forever happy memory, I always look for and collect them!! Thank you for a lovely and inspiring video, as always.

Hi, I thrift Christmas stuff year round too, particularly for my skinny flocked tree in my dining room. I always have my eye open for vintage, delicate or rustic looking pieces for that tree in white and gold. It’s all very French! I found a hammered brass deer ornament about 12”, mini white birdcage, gilded paper machete artichoke, natural wood mini sled, sugared faux green grapes all thrifted over the last 3 years and some mirrored star ornaments that bought from a antique booth last year! It’s so fun to do! I cool on some channels during Halloween because I don’t celebrate but other times of the year I love channels that focus on vintage, sort of old world or French inspired decor. I have watched Meeker several times before, she has a fantastic eye for style.

Oh, I have a Christmas album that we had in our family since I was young. I know where ever crack is. I wanted it to play in my cd player in the car. Couldn’t find it anywhere, so I asked my techy husband if he could make me a copy. He said, sure he could even make it sound perfect, but I was like-NO! I need all the crackles or it isn’t the same! The first time I listened to it, I literally bawled like a baby because it brought back such memeories!

We have a sea can on the property where I store bins of items, and there are things I haven't been able to use for years. Our plans are to build our farmhouse, so hopefully I will be able to open up my time capsule of treasures next year. There can never be too much Christmas in a home.

I have a red transferware plater that is very similar to your green one with the acorns. Not only do I love transferware, our farm's name is Oak Corners, so it had special meaning for me too. Firestone used to sponsor CHRISTmas musical shows on tv where all the entertainers of the time would go on and participate in them and sing or talk. On the order of the old Perry Como, Bing Crosby and Andy Williams CHRISTmas shows. My husband collects old radios and two of the tabletop radios I've got him over the years have turntables on top of them and I bought him some old 78s with Bing Crosby and Perry Como singing CHRISTmas music. I also want you to know that I still use the old green books you sent me from BTS in my CHRISTmas decorations.
