I bought the Blumene on the last sale. Do you use all three modes/colors? I’m a little confused on what they do.

[@TheDailyConnoisseur]

@@JenniferVanMatreMissouriUSA I just use one mode each time. So I do a 3 minute session with just one color...

[@shoshanabloom8669]

Trying to buy this. They will not accept Zar South Africa rands ?????

[@robintaggart5805]

Girly Twirly… Your muralist is doing an outstanding job. Also, the bigger D&B bag is my favorite. Welcome home. Wanted to let you know that I went to Powell’s Bookstore in Portland and bought your 2nd and 3rd book. I sat in the cafe and could not decide which book to start first, and the lady sitting across from me chuckled and said, “Choices?” We had the best conversation about you, and she told me when she gets back to New Jersey she will look you up. This warmed my heart!! You’re the best to share!!!

[@TheDailyConnoisseur]

Wow! That's amazing. Thank you for letting me know! ♥

[@luba-healthywithluba6866]

Jennifer, how kind and thoughtful of your mother to take care of your garden for you. And that mural looks simply amazing. Enjoy!

Thank you! Yes, my mom is amazing!

What a treat to have your own plum tree.

It’s crazy how interested people in other countries are in American politics! When I was in Edinburgh, Scotland in 2017, we were in a pub having lunch. Our server asked where we were from. My friend told him we were from Ohio and asked if he knew where that was. He said, “Oh yes, Ohio is a swing state!” 😅 I love your mural, especially that beautiful peacock. I am finally caught up with your videos. I lost my dad to cancer about a month ago and I’ve felt a little lost. It’s still hard but I’m feeling more hopeful. Welcome home!

[@kathleenconsidine3297]

Welcome home. Love love the mural!! So happy to you sponsoring Dooney & Burke bags. I have a few and they are definitely forever bags. I’m 80 & I can tell you they last. I get so many compliments about them. It’s funny but I always check my garden when I come home too. Glad you’re back Jennifer❤️

I ADORE the murals - simply gorgeous.

[@erinfoley9965]

I love the mural! Your family rooms feels alive to me, it has an energy to it now that i cant quite put my finger on, but its good energy! I have a mural in our family room as well, the theme of our home is more British Colonial, so it has palms and lots of birds. I sit and stare at it and just feel peace. I know not everyone loves it, but my husband and i couldn't care less!

[@brianna3276]

Welcome home! Your England blogs were so enjoyable and entertaining. And such a treat for you to get home to uncover and share the treasures you found waiting there. Enjoy the rest of your summer with your sweet family Jennifer!

[@tammygriffin3164]

Loved, loved, loved the vlogs from England! In between new posts, I would go back to your previous England travels and watch those. Have not been to England yet, but plan to go one of these days. I am truly an Anglophile by heart. My ancestry DNA results came back as 86% British, even though I am a mix of Swedish and Norwegian also. No wonder I am drawn to all things British, it's in my blood😊! I have learned so much from your wisdom on slowing down and being in the moment, it reminds me of my grandmother. My grandmother would make tea and pastries and she had the most wonderful gardens with lily-of-the-valley, Rose of Sharon and other lovely things. She did not have an easy life, but she took time to enjoy beauty and I cherish those memories and have incorporated so many into my own home. Thanks for your encouragement to enjoy the life we have by looking for beauty in the everyday moments.

[@TheDailyConnoisseur]

Lovely memories!

[@miabernard3341]

The mural is absolutely beautiful! The artist is very talented!

[@Miriam-qb4cr]

Hello Jennifer. The mural is magnificent, large but subtle at the same time. I love how it actually provides a new dimension to your living room, as it looks like you are contemplating a dreamy landscape ❤

[@TheDailyConnoisseur]

Thank you! I love it too!

[@ReneeHemp]

Jennifer, it is refreshing when you talk about notebooks.

[@TheDailyConnoisseur]

Thank you! I love my notebooks!

[@mwebb3014]

The mural is fantastic!!😍 You look so rested. Your trip to England was a good one this year - a combo of get-togethers, some sightseeing and a good amount of relaxing and enjoying your family. Perfect! 💕

[@jennifersmith9892]

Congrats on the Dooney & Bourke partnership! A Dooney bag was also my first major handbag purchase when I graduated college. It was the small structured flap satchel style in the tan color and I loved it! I wish I had kept it as it would be an awesome vintage handbag now, and right on trend. Your mural turned out absolutely stunning! I LOVE it! ❤❤❤

[@TheDailyConnoisseur]

Dooney is a great first investment. It was mine too!

[@kimmarvin2857]

Always a breath of fresh and reflective air to watch your videos! I recently purchased a Dooney bag after many years away from the brand. Fun to be back! Are you familiar with RADLEY London bags? I have many and feel very British carrying them!🥰

[@ColettaDesign]

I’ve been a professional decorative painter for 35 years. This mural is totally on the right track. 🎉 whew! Good job.

[@TheDailyConnoisseur]

Thank you! I love it!

[@Lindie406]

I wanted to tell you, Jennifer, that I had a quirky dream this week - in which I was attending a “summer camp” at Madame Chic’s home. 😂 The whole time I was trying to get snippets of conversation with her to funnel the information back to you!! It made me chuckle when I woke up. 😄 So glad you had a safe trip back! How lovely to return to fresh surprises. 😊 ~ Lindie

[@TheDailyConnoisseur]

Hilarious!

[@JenniferVanMatreMissouriUSA]

Welcome home Jennifer...that mural is stunning 😍...looking forward to seeing the complete makeover 😊

[@ElizabethLoustalot-jr6os]

Welcome home Jennifer. I enjoyed your video so much. I think the mural is so pretty, and I love the bottom wainscoting, with the crisp white paint. I can’t wait to see the finished product. So glad you are home safely. It was fun watching all of your videos from England, what a treat!💕

[@kimskitchen123]

Love the Mural. I love the colors and it will take you away to another place when you enter this lovely room. Imagine how relaxing this room will be for you and your family. ❤ Your family and friends are going to love it!

[@deannab9511]

I love seeing you so happy and excited! The wall mural is absolutely beautiful, I've been into peacocks lately and love having birds in my decor. I'm glad you all are safely back home! ❤❤

[@TheDailyConnoisseur]

Thank you! I love peacocks too!

[@yolandasilverio1205]

Thanks for coming back. I love the muriel, I love Trees.

[@debrasams2362]

I love the Dooney & Bourke bags! I so enjoyed your England vlogs.blogs. The mural is pretty, but a bit bold for me personally. Looking forward to it's completion to see. So glad you & your family arrived home safely.

[@73pharmgirl]

Wow! Wow! Wow! Love that mural! Those trees are perfect. They remind me of Go Dog Go when the dogs have a party in the tree. Except your trees are elegant and perfect for your room (not cartoonish) I could get lost in that mural for hours!

[@fundamonium]

Those illustrations are so wonderful! ❤

[@TheDailyConnoisseur]

Thank you, Lynne!

[@followthetulip985]

As you were showing the Satchel Dooney bag, I thought how versatile that purse could be. For daily use but also for traveling!

[@followthetulip985]

Ladies just letting you know the Satchel Dooney bag is 50% off and comes in different colors too. I cannot afford it but if you can I wouldn't pass on the opportunity.

[@TheDailyConnoisseur]

I'm in love with the bag. It looks so good and holds so much, haha. Yes, it's on sale right now too!

[@dianegould1696]

Always enjoy your videos! Unfortunately, Dooney and Burke bags are soooo heavy empty. Once filled with necessary items I find them unbearable to carry.

[@105cathy]

Wow! I love the mural! It’s lovely and a real departure from the Hobby Lobby decor. Very very classy.

[@robertascholten8173]

Yay, Jennifer! I ADORE Dooney & Burke. My favorite handbag, hands down. I have one that I've been using continually for almost 3 years!!! Yes, I've used other bags during that time, but episodically only (evening clutch, for example). I love my D & B so much that nothing else will do, and may I add, It looks as new today as it did on the very first day of use. The bag is indestructible (although I do take great care of it). D & B are among the very best of handbags - exquisitely made, top grade materials. Can never go wrong and worth EVERY penny!! AND the mural - stunning. Another, "well worth the investment". Something of which you will never tire!

[@marianalvarado4193]

Welcome back! I loved that you took us along on your vacation to England. Love the mural, especially the peacock! I think that might be a cucumber in your garden, hard to tell. How nice of your mom to take care of your garden for you, it looks very healthy.

[@nancyferrier8609]

So enjoyed your posts from England! Your wall mural is beautiful. What a nice surprise from Dooney & Bourke! Love both of those handbags. That brand is one of my favorites and I've noticed other influencers have been abandoning pricier designer handbags in favor of Dooney & Bourke. The quality is exceptional. Congratulations on your partnership with them.

[@kellidominguez7167]

Loved your blogs from England but I was so happy to see the beautiful mural in your living room. I also love the toile in your bedroom.

[@dc-zc3js]

[@meredithkaliszbaldwin1505]

Your mural is beautiful! What a fun thing to come home to from being away! My first big girl bag purchase after college in 2004 was D&B - they are so beautiful! For my commonplace journal this year I got a leather journal from Portland Leather Goods in a teal color. Going to use that for my handbag to keep with me! I thought about using it for a brain dump notebook but I think common place will be better. Plus I can review it when waiting in an office or sitting for a quick coffee break. Thank you for sharing!!!

[@robertairvine767]

Before I switched on the computer and found your new post I was thinking how exciting a new commonplace book would be and who would understand my excitement..... You would!

Hi! The mural is beautiful and I can't wait to see everything finished. I love D&B handbags and have a large collection. They are a great value for the level of quality and timeless design. The pebbled leather is my favorite and I'll always own a D&B handbag. So glad you partnered with them.

[@joannmoon949]

Wow! That Muriel is amazing! I am excited to see upcoming videos of your completed decorating projects in your jewel box home.

[@SharonReads]

I love that mural! So bright and lovely!

[@Southernladyasmr]

Awe Jennifer! i’m so happy you are back home, but I did enjoy those England Vlogs immensely! The mural is lovely! And I may be remembering incorrectly, but it seems like Dooney & Burke put out a bag called the Dooney bag, back in the late 80s and early 90s. They were plaid and they had a gold plate that you could put your monogram on. Does anyone else remember those? Enjoy your garden. How wonderful that your mother was able to take care of it for you. Xoxo, Lindy

Yes, I remember those! Thank you so much!

They are made to last! I have the same florentine satchel in the same color but in the next size down. I also have it in chestnut which is also gorgeous. If you ever want to carry aa a shoulder bag, just feed the strap thru the round hardware and attach. There are videos on KZbin showing how. Love all your videos! ❤

Absolutely LOVE the mural!

[@michellecohron3425]

I love the mural! The peacock is exquisite. It was neat to find out that you adore D&B too! I still use my leather D&B key chain from the early ‘90’s. Their bags are so well made. I currently use their nylon tote purses, one in black and one in navy. I had several different styles in the 90’s and I am regretting giving them away. They would be vintage now, just like me! I can’t wait to see the decor video! 🦚🦆

After reading some of the comments I didn’t know what to expect when I saw the mural…and I really think it’s lovely. It has some of the formality you originally mentioned with the whimsy to delight a woman who gushes over her Alice prints. 😊 When you add some coordinating color in your redecorating it will be a very special room that totally suits you. Jennifer, I know you’ve been in this long enough to know that rudeness and honesty have been conflated these days. I hope it rolls off your back at this point. And I love those handbags! Dooney is enjoying a resurgence, I think.

Greetings Jennifer and welcome back to the US 🇺🇸 🙂 What kind of plum tree do you have? It appears the fruit is perhaps green on the outside when ripe? Is it a rich, red flesh inside (deep red wine color) ? Not so translucent inside like many plums found at grocery stores? Growing up my parents had an old tree that produced wonderful plums like those I described. My Godmother would make rather "tart" preserves for us (not overly sweet as many are today) and I have fond memories! I've very seldom seen these types of plums ... Hence my curiosity 😅 Thank you for your channel, a lovely and positive place for all of us! 😊 Maria

[@TheDailyConnoisseur]

I love those memories! The plums are medium purple on the outside and yellow on the inside. I'm not sure of the exact variety name...
