Mary, one of the things that makes your channel so unique is that we don’t see a huge haul of things you’ve gone out and purchased and styled within your home. So many KZbinrs go out and shop and spend hundreds of dollars on things for their homes which puts pressure on viewers, who may not have the funds to do that. And, like you said, if you feel you need something new in a space, you make it. Thank you for that…means a lot where gas prices are almost $4/gallon and grocery prices are crazy! Cindi (from WV). 🥰

Loved everything about this video. I am 73, born and raised in Ohio and we raised our two daughters here too. There is nowhere I would rather be. I love all the seasons, but Spring is my favorite. I simply love all the new life springing forth. It reminds me of Jesus and the new life He offers us. I live on a lake and this evening a pair of geese that I feed brought their 7 newly hatched babies for me to see. They are so tiny and cute...Little balls of yellow fluff. Enjoy and savor your Springtime, Mary.🤗🌱🐣

You're a great photographer, Mary.....the ruffling drapes, the raindrops on the tulips...everything is so lovely and welcoming. A man at Lowe's overheard me speaking about a sink skirt...he said, "What's a sink skirt?" He had no idea. I explained it to him.

This video was really well done. Excellent use of voice over, ambient sounds with underlying soft music and slo-mo shots of the house decor and garden. Plus, you removed the intro which was a good idea because it’s not needed. Two thumbs up 👍🏽 👍🏽

It looks so nice ~ I can almost hear that slamming shut sound. That sound along with the birds singing reminds me of wonderful childhood memories on the farm. Thanks for sharing sounds, scents and glimpses of this beautiful sesson.

Pool noodles are great for keeping furniture covers in place. Cut them to size and smoosh them in the folds where the cushions, arms and back meet. I tied ribbon loops around mine so they're easier to retrieve.
