Shopping and Decorating with Vintage Finds/Fall 2023

[@janesalisbury3686]

I'm English, I live in England, your video made me feel even more English than I already do!!! We live in much smaller homes but they are authentic and beautiful.

[@CanterburyCottage]

Oh, that is such a lovely compliment! Thank you!

[@chellepitts6677]

I was overjoyed that you got those bookends…they were meant to be right where you put them! What a loving hubby!!

[@sallywest5634]

What a wonderful husband you have and what a wonderful home. Here on the UK I live in a small but very pretty 17th century flint cottage and like you I love to collect special items!!!. I sometimes think I have over done it but then I watch you and get inspired as to how I can use them in different ways to look less cluttered. Thanks Sherry xxxx My favourite was the coal shuttle I have a repro one which at the moment holds faux flowers but yet again you have inspired me to change it out.😊

[@mayfinley2405]

My husband and I live in a used to be " Road man's Cottage" built in 1850's and it's full of characters. I am so inspired watching your videos. Thank you Sherry!

[@CanterburyCottage]

@@chellepitts6677 Thanks, Chelle! He is a keeper!🥰

[@vickinoeske1154]

I am so happy you got the bookends. They are absolutely perfect in that room. No, it's not weird to have two fruit prints/paintings in your kitchen. haha They look great.❤

[@CanterburyCottage]

Oh, thank you, Vicki! 🥰

[@cathybrooks2898]

Is that a Hummel ashtray I spotted? So cute! I love Hummels. I realize they’ve gone out of fashion but I’m hanging on to mine!

[@tracyhoneycomb1377]

I have to say, I think my favorite thing was your very sweet husband doing that for you! Such a precious blessing.

[@CanterburyCottage]

I think so too!

[@MarleneBrazzell]

Sherry, you have great taste and I love the way you style your items. Your husband is extra special. Bless you both!

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you so much! That store told me they would not ship those bookends, so I was shocked when they arrived! My hubby must have sweet talked them!

[@ceceliadunfee4985]

There are only 3 of you women that I really can't wait every week to see. You are one. You are so talented.

[@necoragha65]

May I ask who are the two other ones? I, too, always watch Canterbury Cottage first.

[@cbb_creationsceciliabaca775]

I would like to know too please😅

[@darm.8172]

Yes, Give Us The 411!!! TYIA!!! 🙂

[@Prettynickle]

Oh my, those bookends are fabulous! Big kudos to Hubs, wow, what a thoughtful thing to do.

[@jeanne-marie8196]

So many wonderful finds! I really liked the frame around the Lincoln picture, the little strawberry jam jar (so cute!), and the mirror. I’m so happy for you, that you get to share your life with such a kind man

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thanks so much! 😊 I feel very blessed to have a husband that is so very thoughtful!

[@MsJet1]

I am always drawn to old things! Love the nostalgic feeling.

[@Freddybender123]

Me too!!..nothing like it!

[@dianehace8370]

Oh my god you have such a flair for decorating and crafting and you’re so imaginative and what a gift for decor transformations! I love watching you!!! 😁😁😁

[@spbrown04]

I am so tickled that your husband got the bookends for you. That is exactly what my husband would have done. He’s a keeper! I was so crushed on your behalf, I almost cried. Galena is on our list of places to visit.

[@CanterburyCottage]

I’m so glad you have a thoughtful husband, too! I do hope you get to visit Galena. It was such a charming place-good shopping, good food, and so many historical places to visit.

[@patbarthe1219]

What a sweetheart your hubby is, so thoughtful of him to get the bookends for you. I think I like them the best because of the story behind them and they pair so nicely with the fox hunt painting you already have. Beautiful finds!😊

[@CanterburyCottage]

Oh, thank you, Pat! The lady that checked me out that day was new and struggling entering everything into the computer. I know she was doing her best, but I was so sad when I unpacked everything and the bookends were missing. My hubby is a pretty nice guy!

[@angela3063]

My favorite is the book ends as well...and your husband is a keeper. What a thoughtful and loving act.

[@CanterburyCottage]

He is a pretty nice guy! 🥰

[@jsparklies]

I could so happily just move into Grants house, and feel right at home there! The Victorian style is so my favourite! I also love how you have so many different vignettes around your home! What a great way to showcase all the different objects, and make them seem like they truly belong together.

[@lovingmayberry307]

No, nothing about your kitchen is "weird," it's glorious! 😊

[@OurGreeneAcres]

Awe, I loved the carousel horse❤️ you know me! I really enjoyed going shopping with you! Glalena was absolutely beautiful. I know y’all had a great time. I’m so sorry your statuettes got left behind but you got some beautiful things. Much love, T

[@OurGreeneAcres]

You got them! I commented before I got to the end and what a happy ending! Your hubby is so sweet❤

[@CanterburyCottage]

Oh, thank you, T! I immediately thought of you when I saw that carousel horse. I couldn’t find the price tag, though!

[@itzasunnyday4me]

I love the way you framed the Lincoln book cover. It really looks good on your Lincoln shelf and that log cabin jewelry box just finished it off perfectly. Great finds Sherry. And your husband is da bomb for his sweet gesture. He's a keeper. My hubby and I will be celebrating 50 years of marriage tomorrow. We are blessed! ❤

[@CanterburyCottage]

Oh, congratulations! Fifty years is amazing! You are in a very elite group of married couples!

[@annacooremans485]

What a charming town! Loved your finds! The book ends are absolutely beautiful and fit perfectly in your home.

[@juliazierdt3654]

As a Daughter of the American Revolution I appreciate your honoring the presidents.

[@d__extraordinary175]

Thank you for sharing your adventure ! The President Lincoln framed photo was great ! But I gotta say the bookends and your husbands surprise 🎉 was probably may favorite ! You displayed them perfectly ! Everything was perfection ❤ P.S. I'm loving the strawberries so much !

[@vickidunkle3698]

I love to see you out shopping In the wild exploring❤ it's like have Sherry to shop with and do what I enjoy😅😊

[@kathycagg6531]

Thanks for taking us antiquing, Sherry! I used to love running around antique stores and can’t do it any longer so this was a real treat!

[@trudivecchione9642]

Hard to pick a favorite treasure. Oh wait! Your thoughtful husband is the best treasure of all! ❤😊

[@healgrowlovecommunity8397]

How thoughtful and caring of your husband to get those stunning book ends! I love the blue and white sugar canister and the mirror...and everything else!!!

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you so much! My hubby is a pretty sweet guy! 🥰

[@kurtwoods7546]

Although I now live in New England, I grew up in Aurora, Illinois. I've been to Galena on many occasions and absolutely love it there. It's SO charming!!! I love the Abraham Lincoln photo in the frame. He's one of my favorite Presidents (And would probably be turning in his grave if he saw what Illinois is like now). I really enjoy your video's.....

[@CanterburyCottage]

It is so charming! I’ve been to Aurora a few times, too. There is a nice outlet mall there now. 😀

[@dorothybunot5994]

Everything you do Never goes wrong, such beautiful talent.

[@IndieAnnieJones1]

Oh, what a wonderful little journey you shared with us! Thank you so much! I rarely get to see beautiful antique shops like that in my area. What beautiful finds you have as well and of course you always know just the perfect way to style them. Thank you so much for teaching us and sharing. God bless and I also love Teresa of our Green acres❤

[@phyllistisler3293]

I was thrilled to see that you still have the plaid walls. That is the one item of your house that I absolutely covet. Your bookends are FABULOUS!

[@CanterburyCottage]

Oh, thank you, Phyllis! I have an idea for making some changes to that living room that I think will update the fabric (without touching it)!

[@annenickmom]

I recall in a much earlier video, you asked your viewers if they thought you should do away with the unique padded plaid wall coverings. Sounds like you have an inspiration brewing! @@CanterburyCottage

[@CanterburyCottage]

@@annenickmom I was wondering if anyone would remember that. Most of the viewers recommended that I take it down, but my husband actually really likes it. I have a love/hate relationship with it. It certainly was the inspiration for the English fox hunting decor! I do have an idea for a few changes that I would love to get it done before Thanksgiving.

[@lindabirkes-lance8915]

I have a feeling that there were a lot more things that you would have wanted to take home. Your husband gave you an amazing surprise with those book ends.

[@CanterburyCottage]

You’re right! I saw nice things in my video footage that I didn’t even notice when I was there! I’m hoping my husband and I can go back there next summer!

[@SD-nh5yr]

I'm so happy you found some more treasures! What a fun shopping trip ❤❤

[@ladydi7213]

That children's book is part of a set and I read them as a child and 65 years later, I still have them! I love the covers too!

[@sharondoan1447]

The vintage bookends are the outstanding find in my opinion. They couldn’t be more perfect with your painting.

[@CanterburyCottage]

Oh, thank you! I do think they are perfect next to the wall art!

[@hopealdridge9584]

Great video......enjoyed seeing how you styled you finds in your beautiful home !!! Also, so happy you got your bookends...very thoughtful husband !!!! 😺

[@barbkrieser8972]

This was such fun! Going shopping with you...I was hoping the bookends would find their way to your home....great guy you married!!! I just loved the miniature phonograph for $1......but, I love anything miniature!!! You styled everything beautifully...I'm not far from Galena...have to travel there soon...gorgeous in the Fall...❤😊

[@leonorsullivan4202]

My favs....the book ends, the copper pot, the Abraham Lincoln picture & frame, the old books.

[@docsmctink]

I can’t choose a favorite!! But the best part is how you style everything. Thx sooo much!

[@CanterburyCottage]

Wow, thank you!🥰

[@donnabenz5189]

Really enjoyed that. What fun. The background music was special too. Thank you for sharing your experiences.

[@mariep4018]

It’s very difficult to pick a favorite you have too many beautiful items to choose from. You really know how to decorate. You should’ve been a designer instead of a teacher. You probably would’ve been highly successful and probably very, very wealthy. And I’m sure famous.❤

[@sweetengland99]

Really enjoyed watching your lovely video. Great ideas! Great job ! I absolutely love this !☺👍Have a fantastic day!!! 💮

[@janiceguyer7893]

Weird? Absolutely not. Whoever says everything has to be match-y /match-y is wrong. To me, beauty is what pleases your personal taste, and I love your style. My own home reflects my 70+ years of living & traveling. Actually, much like your personal style. I do love all I’ve learned from you these last few years. Thanks so much & keep those DIY’s coming. ❤

[@angelastrozier7467]

Wow! What an amazing trip! Your husband is definitely a sweet man!!! I just love everything that you found. Your home is absolutely gorgeous!❤❤

[@sprogohomeaway9602]

I love your channel, the way you find amazing items and put them together. Love the shopping trip and always great that you share how you use the items. I’m English and live in England, so watching you style your home is always a highlight of day. My hubby passed away in May, we had been married a week off our 35th wedding anniversary. Please could you do another kitchen decor video. I just love watching them, let’s face it most of us would not put such beautiful items in the kitchen, but why not. I have a few pieces around my kitchen, but would definitely like to do more. So a kitchen decor video would be great. Xxx

[@glendagrant9042]

Such a good visit. Fabulous town, B&B and antique stores. My kind of trip. My favorite is the pair of bookends. Perfect find. Great husband!!❤

[@grannygarden5887]

Well I loved the bookends and I don’t even go for that type of decor , but they were awesome. Oh Hubby , god bless him,so thoughtful. But favorite of all was the simple framed book cover of Lincoln. Am a Lincoln fan so anything Abraham Lincoln hands down wins the prize. Thanks for the trip to Galena and all your great finds. It was quite a visual journey. ❤

[@SherryNerreau]

What a fun video Sherry! I really enjoyed seeing the quaint town, Grant's home (love all things historical), antique shopping, and how you used your finds in your home. PS - I don't think it's weird having the two fruit paintings in your kitchen. That's just repeating a motif!

[@caronward4042]

I have that CHESS SET! Only not in red and white but black and white. And I donated that same strawberry jam jar to Goodwill a few years ago. I think of it every time you show your strawberry cavinet collection! That's the fun of going through antique stores. I go there to visit all the things I've donated to Goodwill. LOL!

[@sharlenebal260]

Love it all! The Trip, snaps of the day & your lovely finds & how you added them to your home! Many ideas in my head now after watching :) Thank You for sharing your Talent & Home with us :)

[@vickigage8861]

Absolutely Spectacular! Everything is perfect, from the antique mall to your new finds to your exquisite and perfect decorating. But of course those stunning bookends steal the show. Suvh a good thoughtful and loving husband you have. Your home is always so warm and cozy with your lovely decorating skills. And your vision to create wonderful pieces. ❤

[@halieruppe1710]

Oh my goodness! I just loved this video and I had to re-watch several parts to take in all the inspiration! BEAUTIFULLY presented!

[@bethbranson9050]

Oh my!! What lovely unique treasures! I especially admired your log house jewelry box and Lincoln portrait in your Lincoln vignette, the wooden bird cage, and the blue and white sugar canister! I really do think the hunting scene bookends were spectacular! Kudos to your husband! I really enjoyed this video!! Thank you for sharing!

[@serenakoleno9338]

Great town, loved the school antique store. Bay City Michigan has a wonderful antique mall on an entire city block and 3 floors. I bought many lovely things when I lived there. The bargain basement was my favorite, where I purchased an ugly painted Bunting glider. I also found 3 pieces of wrought iron fence from a cemetery or church-yard. I love the sugar cannisters and the clock with the ceramic bird. Thank you for taking us along on such a wonderful trip. At those prices, I better keep all my old boards! So many interesting things, I will have to rewatch sometime to see what I missed. TFS

[@Earthy-Artist]

Super sweet husband! Bookends match your framed print so well. Ulysses S. Grants bed was so beautiful, love the turned wood, I didn't care for his wallpaper though. Dandelion cruel art was nice. I saw a green lamp during your antique mall tour that I liked, it had two round glass globe shades. Not weird to have to fruit prints close together in your kitchen. Love the utensils in the sugar crock. The mini Victrola was meant for you to find. Asking $30 for an old board? Cheaper to pull discarded wood from a dumpster when an old home is being torn down.

[@elisabethdowd1869]

Thank you Sherry, for taking on such a wonderful trip. You found lovely treasures and showcased them beautifully. I love the Lincoln display. You also have a very thoughtful husband. I'm so glad you got the bookends. They are fabulous.

[@lynnpelletier4321]

What a wonderful trip!!! Everything you bought was perfect for your use, and those bookends! Oh my, so very happy that you have them. Your husband is very thoughtful and must love you very much! Thanks for sharing.

[@robertabessey7990]

Very Very Very beautiful! No it's not weird! Love your style and your creativity. Thanks for sharing.

[@shadygardens2256]

Oh wow! This is an amazing video. The things are all my favorites! Your little “Book Nook” is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen. And I Leva always been a fan of Abe Lincoln, so now I’m about to search out a book like yours! Thank you! We love you!

[@Tfears92]

First of all, I’m completely obsessed with you and your channel. Seriously, I’m such a humongous fan and feel we are kindred spirits and now I know that to be true! The duo of vintage botanicals in the beautiful scalloped like wooden frames is actually a set of 3! I have them displayed on my living room bookshelves. They were gifted from my grandmas house! I often go “shopping” in her house!

[@thechickincharge1073]

I am over the moon happy that you got those gorgeous bookends!!😍 Everything was just perfect, Sherry! Grant’s fav chair would have mine too!

[@aprilninthr2886]

Sherry…I just love a home filled with favorite finds. Your home is so interesting, intellectual looking and welcoming. I love equestrian in my decor and the bookends your husband purchased are very special ..and he must be, too. I think the fruit paintings in kitchen are fine together. Love your Lincoln collection. So happy you bought the pic. I could go on…Your videos are favorites of mine.

[@greatestever6738]

Hello Sherry, another wonderful video. My favorite were definitely the book ends! Your trip has inspired me to drive up the road about 10 miles to a little town called Little Mountain, SC where they advertise an Antique Mall complete with a restaurant so you can fuel up and keep shopping.😄 Thoughtful men are the best! Please keep your videos coming.

[@chrisabq1702]

I too, loved visiting Galena! You found so many treasures and staged them so beautifully!! How sweet you did get the bookends...I love your Lincoln "center"!! 😊

[@gizmo7877]

WOW, I loved this video. That town and antique store blew me away. If those pieces could tell their story, what an incredible tale they would spin. I love going back in time to a simpler style of living. If they decorated their store like you do your home, they’d sell out in record time. A person could visit your home and spend hours memorized in your pieces. I also have those books about Abraham Lincoln by Carl Sandburg and one is signed. Trying to find out their value. Any ideas?

[@r.leahperez8692]

I think this is my all time favorite video of yours. Former Illinois resident here, now residing in the great Pacific Northwest. I guess I’m still a Midwest girl at heart! Your tour of Galena and Grant’s house makes me long for my beloved Prairie State. Love all of your purchases and how you styled them! Thank you for sharing!

[@shellydehart8217]

Thank you Sherry for taking us along. I was born in Illinois in Elgin. Lived in many of towns till I was 5 or 6. I do remember my daddy always taking the train into Chicago for work. I haven’t been back to Illinois in many years. I think the last time I was 12 to visit my grandparents. They lived at the time in Arlington Heights. I certainly wouldn’t mind going back just to visit those antique stores 😀. I just love to go to those kind of stores. I vision in my head of how those people who once owned like that needle point chair or at that beautiful sofa n the conversations spinning around the room. Or seeing that tea pot n the hostess serving them tea in her new China cups. I could go on n on of all I would see in my head. You found some great pieces but I have to say I too love the book ends. How sweet your husband was in getting them for you. He knew how much you loved them n how disappointed you were when you got home n they weren’t there. He’s a keeper 😊. Really enjoyed the video. I had a lot of wishful thinking of what I would of loved to have. ♥️♥️😊👍👍🌟🌟

[@noraleestone2859]

I especially loved all the changes and additions to your kitchen. I also love fruit and/or floral paintings. I have some thrift store purchases that are still waiting to be hung. I'd better get to it! Although I'm not into the moody, dark decor, I'm always impressed by how you can tweak things and create an entirely different feel. You are so creatively gifted. Like everyone else, I applaud your hubby for his kind, thoughtful effort in getting those book ends. They are superb. See you next time, Sherry.

[@terryciavola5962]

Everything is so beautiful Sherry! I love all your finds and what a fun trip you had! Love the President Lincoln display! What a sweet husband to get those bookends for you! 👍🥰❤️

[@johnmelissaziech6207]

So glad you visited Galena! I've been there many times through the years. It's so full of history and, yes touristy things and prices. But it's still fun to go through and your sharp eye found some fun things. Love your new utensil holder and the paintings look charming. Your Lincoln picture looks wonderful (and the Lincoln books next to it are a really good read!) How thoughtful and sweet to get the figurines for you! Thanks for sharing your visit!

[@barbarahaines7661]

Loved Galena and Elizabeth Illinois for years .Many a gem over the years have been found in both locations.Prices are different all over the country.Happy hunting!

[@jeanbond3102]

Your coal bucket is called a scuttle you styled it beautifully. Big pat on the back for your hubby for his thoughtfulness 👍👏. Really enjoyed your video today Sherry but it makes me very envious of the choice you have …sadly NZ doesn’t have this.

[@ConstanceSchulz]

I'm a new fan and have been introducing you to my friends! You remind me of my friend Ellen; I told her your videos are so beautiful and inspirational, but I spend a lot of time trying to read the titles of your classic books! Ellen is a retired English teacher as well, and I mentioned that I had never heard the term "dark academia" which I heard on another recent video of yours. Just shows that there's always more to learn! When you used the word "kismet" in your Ugly Christmas video, I called her and said, "She used the word "kismet! I'll send you the link!!" Not that the people in my life are idiots, but it takes a genteel person to understand kismet and use it in a sentence! Polite society is hard to come by these days. Thank you for sharing your time and your talents; I LOVED this video and getting to see other areas of your home. One question though, "Do you ever COOK on that stove!"

[@sylvanramble1757]

Wow! So many great finds and I love how you styled them. I also loved going to Grant's Home and shopping with you. It is hard to pick a favorite but I love the way you framed the Lincoln book cover; and the English fox hunt bookends are beyond gorgeous.

[@lisadawson2652]

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾I love a good school field trip 😉u have some amazing finds your husband gets the award for the year I was about to get sad for u ❤

[@mikki3961]

Your husband loves you very much, how blessed you are! Beautiful finds Sherry. My taste is different from yours, however, your videos inspire. Thank you.

[@lydialangfordjoiner765]

I love this tour!!! Thank you! Answer to one question you asked: No, nothing in your kitchen is weird. All lovely, lovely. I will watch again, gladly- it’s always a treat.

[@lynneallison1296]

I enjoyed this video very much. Somehow I didn't know about the antique mall in Elizabeth! We'll head up there soon. I love your room with all the hunting prints and related items, and I'm so glad you got the bookends. Of course you need more blue and white, your collection is lovely. I wish I could do so well with green and white pieces, which are my favorites.

[@carolrayk]

That was special. A trip to an antique mall. I have so much 'stuff' I only visit through blogs like yours. I adore the bookends! You inspire me to use what I have and decorate for Fall. Great finds kiddo. 😍

[@bluecottonbykammy7199]

I love your decor. Especially the kitchen decor! Love the bookends. My favorite find is the old mirror. I am a sucker for a good old mirror. Also, the sugar container is lovely.

[@lesliejackson8188]

*God bless ☝️🙏 your husband for coming through for you with the bookends‼️😁 That was an act of* *L❤VE❣️🐴🐎*

[@connietowler3725]

No, nothing looked out of place or funny, just beautiful. Loved watching you go through the schoolhouse. The homes are just so gorgeous and the town. Found some really nice pieces. Your husband was so sweet, the bookends are perfect. So glad you got them. This was a great video. Thank you...

[@madonnahughey3056]

What a sweet husband you have Sherry! Now I have to visit Galena for sure! Thank you for sharing Grants home. No way can I pick a single favorite item - love the sugar canister and I think the 2 fruit pictures are perfect. Thanks for sharing 😊❤️

[@mrs.jennifer3455]

I am SO glad you got your beautiful book ends!!!! They are my favorite find from your trip❤️, and I was so sorry to hear you had left them behind!! What a wonderful, thoughtful husband you have that he would think to call and get them for you!!❤❤

[@dorisandujar8277]

I had so much enjoyment from watching this video. It was educational, informative and so much fun. I felt like I was on the trip too. A lot of memories came to mind also. I went to school in the 60's and early 70's and the hard wood floors were the same. The gymnasium floors were so shiny and we had wooden bleachers to watch the games. Antiques were such a part of my home life as my parents owned a store. My Mom had a small room for her crafts like the beaded handbags. Suede vests with fringe beaded and so long. It was the hippy ear, woodstock and all. Getting to your treasued things that you bought. My favorite is the photo of Lincoln and I love how you styled it all. Thank you for sharing this Sherry. It really was very special. Hope to see another one.

[@suecox2308]

My favorites are the wonderful bookends--and your husband is pretty wonderful, too.

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you! He is a pretty nice guy! 😊

[@denisejobe3950]

I love Galena! I've been many times... always in the fall, when they have their craft sale in the park. I'm older now, but I would love to go back. I'm a needleworker, so my favorite is the needlepoint you saved and hung on your staircase. That's for sharing and bringing back great memories.

[@sandiebourassa9040]

I looked it up because I wanted to know..."Barkcloth in its original, primitive form was made from the inner bark of trees found in the South Pacific and surrounding areas. The bark was soaked, then beaten into a paperlike fabric which was then dyed, printed or painted."

[@sylvialangworthy1435]

You do have a wonderfully thoughtful and loving hubby. The bookends go so perfectly with the decor in your vignette. So many great treasures! So glad you had a special time in Gallena. 🤗

[@lauraleederos178]

What a lovely video.I didn’t want it to end. There were so many beautiful things and you made such great choices. The paintings looked so beautiful in your kitchen. I love the mirror I think it is my favorite.Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful treasures with us.❤

[@adrianabenavente6777]

The love is so powerful, can make things that you not expecting. Besides the bookends, the bronze jar my favorite.

[@carlamhaight]

I love how you cut the book jacket apart to put Lincoln's picture in a frame. The bookends are precious and your husband is wonderful to get them for you. The display you showed with the antique clock frame and the ceramic bird is wonderful. As I go out thrifting, I'm always on the lookout for clocks that I can repurpose into displays the way you have. I have purchased some wall clocks recently that are round. Since round frames seem to be all the rage, it's easy to put either your own creation or other pictures into the round frames Thanks so much for sharing.

[@loiswood3363]

How awesome to have a husband who knows how important those bookends are to you; and found a way to bring them to your home where they can be showcased in such a lovely way. The Lincoln frame looks fabulous on the Lincoln shelf. I loved the tour of Grant's home at the end. Thank you for doing that. Your kitchen looks amazing, never stop styling, you never know what will happen!!

[@kellybuhlmann93]

I’ve been watching your videos from the beginning and always thought we have the same clothing style. Imagine my surprise when I wore the exact green dress and boho blue shirt this week. What a coincidence! I look forward to your video every week! Keep the inspiration coming.

[@susanwilliams9454]

These are absolutely stunning finds. I wish I had your vision to know where to put them and how to style. You always style items so lovely. And what a nice and thoughtful man is your husband. So kind. Thanks so much for sharing. ♥️👍👏

[@cindygetsfitschaus8097]

What a beautiful video! I almost felt like I was there with you. Thank you for sharing and taking such thoughtful videos. Your hubby is such a gem. I couldn’t get mine to spend an entire day at an antique mall. I would be lucky to get an hour out of him. Lol. My hubby is a gem too, just not one that wants to go thrifting with me! ❤

[@sandracrosbie8468]

Ohhh. Each time I see your videos I wish I had somewhere to store pieces that I wouldn't like to " get rid of". Unfortunately I have a smaller bungalow, with an attic that is likely to come crashing down because of my daughter's belongings that she doesn't want to get rid of.😢. I want to buy so many of the pieces that you buy. I do have two bags in the attic that my husband's cousin gave him. There are lots of those little brass ornaments and other really old bits and bobs in the bags. There is a tea cannister which has the commenaration of the wedding of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip. Looking at your haul. Maybe I should look at other pieces in the bags in a different way. Thanks for all of your inspiration. The town you visited is really beautiful. It was like stepping back in time. It is so good to see that throughout time the inhabitants of the town knew the value in keeping the town in tip top condition.

[@kathyallen6238]

I, too, loved the bookends; my poor bookcases are so loaded with books, I seldom have room for them! I loved all your treasures and enjoyed seeing how you styled them! I smiled when I noticed you dusting the mantle as you rearranged stuff--the best way to do it in my opinion! Your husband is definitely a keeper; give him a big hug from all of us who appreciate his thoughtfulness!

[@carolbuchel3011]

I love your hubby!! What a sweetheart! It was so fun to see you place your new items-you have a knack (sp?) for that. I change something in my decor almost daily-I loved the bird in the clock-will have to try that!

[@PellyjellyMom]

So beautiful, Sherry. Illinois has to be one of the best states for entire towns dedicated to Antique shops, cute cafes and B&Bs. We lived in Rantoul for eight years. I love the way you theme your book shelves. The Abe Lincoln shelf is so cute and celebrates history thru art. Thanks for taking us along on your fun trip.

Oh my. This Fitz and Floyd bookends are my favorites for sure. You certainly have an awesome husband.

We live close enough to Galena to visit, and our favorite time to go is in the fall. It's gorgeous! It was fun to shop along with you! Your husband was so thoughtful to get those book ends shipped to you! They were my favorite and look perfect where you placed them!! 😊

Weird? Well, if it is then I'm weird too! I have two fruit paintings hanging in my kitchen too. My favorite is also the bookends, what a great guy you've got there! Last year I watched a video featuring an antique mall in Washington state. One of the booths had a Gorgeous Daffodil painting hanging in it. Luckily for me the videographer had identified the store and I was able to find them online. I paid for that painting over the phone, as well as shipping and they kindly shipped it to me. It's one of my favorite pieces of art.

I drove through Galena once with two of my sisters. We didnt have time for sightseeig though. I do remember driving past Grant's home. 😊. It's beautiful from the outside and can only imagine the inside. Blue and white pieces are my all time favorite to decorate and use in my home. I would have picked up that ton in a heartbeat no matter how much I already have. Love how you used all of your finds
