spend a few chill days with me in western massachusetts | vlog

[@SamDaaang]

the northampton shots really brought me back to my smith college days! good to see woodstar is still thriving

[@Elvxn13]

current smithie here, love woodstar!! it's the best cafe in noho

[@reddragonpress]

"I just burned the (Windows XP error noise) out of my toast. This happens to me multiple times a day." Glad to get some completely *accurate*, not-at-all taken out of context insight into the tragic life of Emma.

[@puppable]

Fun fact, that Trader Joe's is the very first unionized TJ's in the country! I was lucky enough to make it to a solidarity rally they held ahead of the vote to support the organizers a couple years back! It's truly one of the best feelings in the world to be surrounded in scores of people unified behind a good cause. It's been a rocky road since then, with the company trying its best to suffocate the fledgeling union, but it's my hope they'll be able to pull through and do good by their workers :)

[@Elvxn13]

love the hadley TJ, the workers are the sweetest and I live off of their frozen meals when college dining hall food isn't hitting

[@teehanmcginness152]

This is so fun to watch as a UMass grad haha love the happy valley area!!

[@periwinkleadidas]

proud western mass resident, feeling soooo seen right now 🙌🏿😁

[@katrinekjaer4808]

I always enjoy a good vlog and this was no exception! Also, as a Scandinavian it’s so interesting to see the infrastructure and stores at other places in the world. Massive love from Copenhagen and please do more vlogs!

[@jessicas.8776]

I enjoyed seeing that yarn store and now I want to go! Also, thank the cats for being in there, love cat content.

[@MoWhitenower]

To think I lived in NoHo for 4 years of college and never heard of or went to Webs that whole time (yes, I was a crocheter back then). I finally went years after graduating and was overwhelmed with how amazing that place is

[@britts.cuppycakes]

The same thing happened to me! I found out about it 6 months after graduation. I do go back to noho frequently though.

[@CodexPotter]

I put off watching this video because I used to live here. Oh the feels! I miss it sometimes

[@amorousGravity]

i never realized webs was a store... ive ordered from them before and they send me catalogs in the mail still 😄

[@knitthiscrochetthat]

Omg I went to Webs about a week ago for my first time too!!!

[@Denise11Schultz]

Burned toast is really good for indigestion, even Industrial Strength Indigestion. (1/2 slice might be enough if it’s burned enough, and chewed well.)

[@stephaniewilliams8687]

I envy your trip to Webs. The selection is amazing. I order from them all the time. Sigh… Hope the yarn works for you. More casual vlogs when it works for you😊.

[@Elvxn13]

was not expecting to see my small city on youtube today!

[@Elvxn13]

also, i think the cafe you went to at the beginning was share coffee in amherst! not slate

[@hannahpackard1118]

Massachusetts gang🙏🏻🙏🏻 not sure where you’re at but if you go to Newburyport there’s a cute yarn store there called South End Yarn Co!! I just went there for my bday it was lovely

[@CrochetOnnaSpectrum]

omg im in western mass too Im so excited to see what you did

[@jennakotlyarenko6847]

Watching this while working on my button up shirt with valley yarns that i bought from webs felt like a weird matrix moment 😅

[@rubyclaire3398]

Webs is my lys !! So cool !

[@globoboboglob3270]

When I lived in Québec we used to visit Massachusetts a few summers in a row, I loved it - people were so friendly. Whenever locals heard our accent (Fr) they were eager to show off all the French words they knew and I found it so endearing. The food was great the portions were ridiculous. We stuck to the coast-side though, but from your vlog images it's not any less pretty on the west side!

[@Julzableful]

A toaster is excellent for toasting - have you tried that? hehe 🤭 Those cats are so cute ❤

[@madeinthemoment]

hmm yeah I've heard of that ... will have to try and get back to you ....

[@charliebirnie8052]

getting your own climbing shoes really does make a difference! I got a pair and I found I had way more confidence on smaller footholds. Also, I have those la sportiva climbing shoes too! I really like them

[@glitterende-eenhoorn]

[@barbaraeckman2588]

More vlogs, please!! This was really fun! And I too have made a pilgrimage to Emily D’s house. Seemed to be lots of room around the house for a garden, which could move her to say, I taste a liquor never brewed From tankards scooped in pearl Not all the vats upon the Rhine Yield such an alcohol! Inebriate of air am I And debauchee of dew, Reeling through endless summer days From inns of molten blue. When landlords turn the drunken bee out of the foxglove’s door, when butterflies renounce their drams I shall but drink the more! Till seraphs swing their snowy hats And Saints to windows run To see the little tippler Leaning against the sun! (This is mostly from memory, so please forgive any mistakes…)

[@lindahuson8451]

Yes to more casual vlogs!

[@kanjifaith6619]

lovely to listen while relearning how to knit

[@Artzandcatz]

I’m in western mass and I HAD NOT A CLUE about WEBS😮

[@ASquareGranny]

Congrats winners!!! Juan, you are so generous ☺️🫶🏻🧶

[@worshipmewatermelon1231]

Just moved out of Western mass closer to Boston so this was funny to watch, glad you got to hop around a little around there! It's cute and we would have stayed if there was like ... Any jobs at all for non-students

[@huffenstein4116]

If you ever go to the Cape, there's an awesome small yarn shop with tons of beautiful yarn called The Black Pearl

[@laurensullivan1522]

If you have a chance or bored. There is a textile store in W. Springfield. It's fun to hang out with the ladies and rummage through the fabrics.

[@NatashaCreatesThings]

Weird question but i grew up near there and sometimes i think I dreamt this - is the store you’re talking about old and do they/did they sell buttons in bins??? I live in PA now but I remember going to what I thought was a button store in the 80s with my mother, and just seeing rows and rows of bins filled with buttons! Maybe near where the Big E is?? I’m not good with directions though. Thanks :)

[@laurensullivan1522]

It is near the Big E. I think it's the place you are thinking of. It's called Osgoods.

[@NatashaCreatesThings]

@@laurensullivan1522thank you!! I looked it up and the photos look like the place I remember!! I half thought I dreamed it up lol

[@eidoleon]

Funny to see shots of my hometown in vlog style xD I love going to webs, it took an embarasingly long time for me to go there despite living here almost my whole life... Northampton Wools is nice too, tho usually too pricey for me 😅

[@crabby95]

This was so fun to watch! Very different and very cute. Love all your videos! ☺️

[@flutesalute]

omg I was just in Northampton this week but now I'm back home several states away. I will have to check out Webs next time I visit!

[@wildflower-spirit-creations]

I can't believe I missed this. Being from Central Massachusetts I love the North Hampton area. Glad you hit Web s. By the way, I love the hat❤

[@demcatears]

wow im in more southern MA but i might have to take a trip to that yarn store it looks so awesome

[@ManokJanik]

love the vibes!

[@LondonQuinnSparrow]

ugh i live in northampton and ive never been to webs I NEED to go there at some point! Theres another yarn store in Northampton that I used to go to but I haven't been there in so long

[@bethanyadamski5607]

AHHHHH THE WESTERN MASS VLOG!!!! also it’s Share Coffee not slate!

[@madeinthemoment]

omg my poor memory is showing here thank you for the correction haha

[@jjonze]

this was so fun! love vlogs and you did good :)

[@yazminmercado5075]

I’m from western ma and living out near Boston! I got so excited to see the title lol

[@MicahRion]

would love to see more vlogs from you :) this was so fun

[@TeresaRaab-hb5co]

Yes, loved the vlog!

[@callitags]

Really fun. Enjoyed this a lot.

[@lookinsharp]

I felt a little overwhelmed by webs just from the clips you showed 😅 Love the vlog, it's got a nice cozy feel that I can settle into to watch

[@PassioKnitKelsie]

Happy I could influence you to vlog

[@Tsweezey90]

love woodstar

[@VSE4me1]

I grew up in western Massachusetts, so western that Amherst was considered eastern Massachusetts.

[@nicolebillips1013]

The cat: “Gimme the toast, human. It belongs to the night. It is my kin. We are one.”

[@laurac86]

As someone born and raised in Boston suburbs I completely forget the western mass is even part of the state 😂😂

[@purpletearat]

I've lived in western MA my whole life and I'm just now finding out about the webs store???

[@delilahsdepression]

I'm collecting yarn-gays and I look forward to your videos 😂

[@crochetmezaddy]

Vlogging is lowkey so fun but also so much easier to edit imo - cause you can just like…chat?

[@madeinthemoment]

yes exactly this was so fun !!!

[@nurseelle]

Vlogs are my life. It's background noise while I work. It's weird, I know. But it works for my brain 😂

[@charlottecaywood1099]

Esteemed individual, you need a toaster. That is the way we know how long our toast is in the ‘oven’

[@madeinthemoment]

I've heard this is the solution....

[@hysteric-and-hysterical]

Your hair in this reminds me of the film Liquid Sky!

[@legocroissant]

Im from Lenox!! South western mass is the place

[@Notion_Hoarder]

4:56 Thank you for reminding me to order my vitamins

[@dearlyfawn]

my first ever first comment (: I love all of your content, it's so comforting!

[@madeinthemoment]

awww thank youu !!! this one's a bit different so I hope you enjoy it was fun to put together!

[@dearlyfawn]

​@@madeinthemoment loved it!!! and now I desperately want to go to Webs omg

[@ThoughtsonThoughtsandFeelings]

ufff i love and miss western mass

[@Sailorlluna]

Making toast in an air fryer is so hard. It’s either cooked to ashes or still not toasted. No in between. When it is edible it’s so fcking crunchy it destroys the roof of my mouth. I actually have been thinking of buying a toaster because I can’t keep waiting money on all the bread and bagels i burn 😭

[@meba444]

Not me thinking “western mass” had something to do with Catholicism 😅 I was v confused about that coming from you 😂

[@madeinthemoment]

omg did not even think about that hahaha literally just changed the title

[@snappyjdog]

Good times

[@bethanyadamski5607]

we want more vlogs!!!!!

[@lavendersky4835]

Ive lived in Amherst for 4 years now and I have no clue what slate coffee is… where is this place???

[@robinrocha2091]

yea, it's called a timer...

[@cameronmueller-harder3916]

Dang I had to stop watching FOURTEEN SECONDS IN because I was getting so homesick 😭 I love Baltimore but dang I miss NoHo so much (I used to live like two blocks from Northampton Wools and even closer to WEBS, it was such a dream 🥹)

[@amyelizabeth9088]

I loved it because this #madeinthemoment #vlog had a little bit 🤏🏻 of "THIS"... a little bit 🤏🏻 of "THAT" ... and my favorite a little bit 🤏🏻 of "NOTHING. "... 《like burnt toast 》🍞 ...jk, I too burn my toast... a lot 😂

[@NatariaAU]

more vlogs please :)

[@Crikilicious]

I have the same hair problems 😂😂😂

[@sanriomarie245]

to think one of my favorite KZbinrs was in my area is freaky

[@No1PlutoSupporter]

I see Northampton 👀
