So good to have you back, you were missed. Looking forward to next videos. ❤

[@StoneCottageHome]

Yay! Thank you!

[@sallymoffit3751]

I echo this sentiment. 😊

[@belindahickman7952]

So glad to see you Rachel..You certainly have been missed! Thanks so much for sharing some of the beautiful sights from your vacation.. The transferware you found is beautiful.. it gives me hope that my special piece is still out there.. patience..😌 There are three feelings I always experience when I watch your videos.. a feeling of enjoyment/entertainment..a feeling of amazement at the wonderful job you always do.. and feeling that I learned something.. whether it be about decor or how to look at or experience life a little bit differently…Make the videos you feel called to make.. We will surely follow..❤ Your Ky friend Belinda

[@debbiefletcher4781]

The kitchen organization would be wonderful. ❤. But then, I would love to see your Autumn decorating as well. 😊

[@StoneCottageHome]

Well, good news... We decided to make both videos!

[@Cinderella1125]

How fun to see your summer adventure! I love your new teapot and compote dish. Collecting special pieces is a great way to attach special memories to your getaways.

What a fun experience ❤. It’s so much fun to be with your honey on vacation. I know I always enjoy being with my husband looking through antique stores. ~ Janet 😘

[@romanticstyle583]

Mrs.Rachel thank you for sharing. You have been missed. I would love both videos. I am hosting Thanksgiving this year for my in-laws. Beautiful plum transferware tea pot.

[@StoneCottageHome]

For sure, thanks for watching! We decided to make both videos and I've been decorating and working on DIY projects for the last two days. What a delight to host Thanksgiving!

[@katherineeaston8802]

I have missed your lovely videos. I would love to see how you decorate for fall.

[@StoneCottageHome]

Good morning, Miss Katherine! Great minds think alike ~ I'm working on an autumn DIY & decorate video now!

[@benpearson2254]

Mrs B here. Such a fun vacation, glad you are back. Love the teapot!

[@StoneCottageHome]

Good afternoon, Mrs. B! I'm glad to be back. Have a lovely weekend!

[@janetbirkmann669]

Good to see you today, Rachel! I would look forward to both the fall decor and kitchen organization videos! I caught a glimpse of your guest room in the video, with the bookcase replacing the chest of drawers, and different artwork on the wall. Then I read more about this change in your email/newsletter. More information on that change would be interesting ---- where did the chest and all that artwork end up, etc., ? Always enjoy your videos!

[@StoneCottageHome]

Good afternoon, Miss Janet! Great! I'm actually working on an Autumn DIY & decorate video today. Sharp eye! Yes, we've had a room shuffle and (hopefully) a major renovation/remodel coming next year that will encompass a garage conversion. This means we have sold several large pieces of furniture/some art/lamps etc to lighten the load and have chosen a few replacements. As time goes by you'll see the results... Always glad to have you!

[@barbaracarlson1331]

Glad see you back!!! Love that ironstone compote!

[@StoneCottageHome]

Thank you, Miss Barbara! Glad to be back!

[@susanmccoy1992]

What a fun video and great vacation for you and hubby! You know, I’ll watch whatever you post, so it doesn’t matter to me what you do next🤗

[@StoneCottageHome]

How sweet of you! Well, we actually have both videos in the works. 😉

[@sadieladydubois2763]

I love the mountains, those beautiful blue skies...I am so glad to see you bought that large teapot 😊 and I love the ironstone compote!! The ship artwork is String Art, popular in the 80's. Love your channel and always look forward to your next video, you have such a beautiful home!!

[@StoneCottageHome]

Glad you enjoyed your visit, Miss Sadie! We appreciate you stopping by & wish you a happy autumn! 🍂 🍁

[@sharenp3839]

Oh string art used to be very popular. Glad you had a lovely vacation. You found some lovely treasures ❤️ I’d love to see a fall decor personally.

[@StoneCottageHome]

How cool! String art is new to me. If that piece had been worked on a blue background it might've come home with me... Good news! I've been decorating for autumn and working on DIY projects for the last two days. Hope you enjoy!

[@aliciaglover583]

Thank you, Rachel for sharing your vacation with us. In my opinion the bluest skies anywhere are in New Mexico!
