Your skirt is truly lovely. You have such an eye for beauty and decorating. I look forward to your next video. Have a blessed weekend.

[@hymnsandhome]

Thank you so much for your sweet comment, Erin! Have a blessed weekend and week ahead! :-)

Seeing this made me miss the days of baby-wearing and nursing. But I definitely have those memories stored in my heart as I watch what incredible adults they are becoming. You found such cute things at Goodwill, even if it was picked over! I heard a tip from another thrifter : to go to areas that are affluent and shop those Goodwill stores. But when I do that, the prices are crazy high. Usually, tablecloths here are between $1.99 and $4.99, depending. But making a skirt out of one is so genius! Yours turned out so lovely!! 💜

[@hymnsandhome]

Thank you so much! Yes, I've found some of the prices at Goodwill to be quite off-putting but sometimes you can still find a deal, especially if that color tag is on sale that week. Thank you for watching! :-)

[@conniemalone8939]

Love Love Love the Skirt! You are so Talented! Just Love all you do!

[@hymnsandhome]

Aw thank you, Connie! :-)

[@SarahsOctoberHome]

Melissa, you are such an inspiration.🌱

[@hymnsandhome]

Aw thanks, sweet friend! :-)

[@vintagebeliever5023]

The cherry skirt would look good as kitchen curtains or an apron. The green patterned teapot and cup.. beautiful! I, too, would of bought it. 😊 Tablecloth beautiful as a skirt! Your editing and music of your video is superb. Thank you for sharing.

[@hymnsandhome]

Aw thank you so much! The cherry piece was actually an apron and I did get it (just forgot to include it)! I'll try to show it sometime in a future video!

[@traceyhiebert8680]

Loved everything! When I saw the wooden piece, I immediately thought..oh I would have that in my garden!💗🌸

[@hymnsandhome]

Thanks, Tracey! It really does look like a garden piece, doesn't it? I'm sure it would rot though, so maybe the porch. :-)

[@peggymurphy6747]

Oh that skirt is so pretty and flattering on you. The bow in the back is perfect

[@hymnsandhome]

Thank you so much, Peggy! :-)

[@lesliemckinley9615]

All your transformations are lovely! I especially like the skirt.

[@hymnsandhome]

Aw thank you, Leslie! :-)

[@hymnsandhome]

Thanks, Melissa! :-)

[@maryannmacintosh5349]

[@Esther-bi3vj]

The green & white tea set is lovely!!!

[@hymnsandhome]

Thank you, Esther! I loved it at first sight!

[@jylfearn4840]

Your video content is so peaceful. I love the unique wood piece, I’d place it on my porch with either candle or potted plant in it.. or it would be a great centerpiece too

[@hymnsandhome]

Aw, thank you! :-) Those are great ideas!

[@caroltaylor3261]

Enjoyed your video with all your fresh ideas with your decor. Your skirt is lovely 🦋

[@hymnsandhome]

Thank you, Carol! :-)

[@racheljacobs8887]

A love the skirt...it indeed was a perfect item to make with the table cloth. Loved going thrifting with you...until next time :)

[@hymnsandhome]

Thank you so much! Hope to go again sometime soon! :-)

[@lindasuebell8308]

So amazing! Your selections and how you used each item inspired me. Our tastes are so similar! Wonderful use of the beautiful tablecloth. Your tips will help me when I go thrifting.🪴

[@hymnsandhome]

Aw thank you, Linda! I'm so glad you found my video helpful! :-) Thanks for watching!

[@candacekesting1786]

I liked the other picture you mentioned , it had more color. Also liked the single candle with handle. skirt is real cute. Love the background music you picked !!

[@hymnsandhome]

Thanks, Candace! I really liked the other picture too but it was smaller and wouldn't have fit the space as well. I need more walls I guess, haha! :-)

[@chrissyt6959]

I hardly ever shop at goodwill anymore. The prices are outrageous for used and to me is not real thrifting prices. I have been finding a lot off FB marketplace. I love your videos! They are always so comforting and peaceful. Refreshing.

[@hymnsandhome]

Thank you, Chrissy! Yes, the prices have gotten ridiculous for most items. Thankfully they still have discount days for certain color tags so that makes it a little better. ::-)

[@juliadavis3748]

The yellow shudder would absolutley grab my attention for a sweet outdoor spot with flowers in spring summer and ...fall too.

[@hymnsandhome]

It was neat!

[@sharenp3839]

Oh I would have definitely got the tea set as well. Your skirt turned out just lovely!!

[@hymnsandhome]

Thank you so much, Sharen! :-)

[@ap85jp87]

I was happy to see your post - great choices!

[@hymnsandhome]

Thank you so much! :-)

[@edieparastatides9403]

Such a lovely video! I was super-shocked to see the Goodwill prices.

[@hymnsandhome]

Thank you, Edie! Yes, unfortunately thrift store prices have become rather ridiculous!

[@EliaBachman-sm2gs]

Just beautiful as all your videos! Gosh I love it!

[@hymnsandhome]

Aw thank you so much!

[@tammypoling9618]

The canle holder was beautiful

[@hymnsandhome]

I thought it was neat too!

[@homespunannie]

I would have definitely gone for the little tea pot and cup combo. 😊

[@hymnsandhome]

It was love at first sight for me! :-)

[@hirokiguapisimo]

Beautiful home! Looove your style. Thank you for your inspiration❤

[@hymnsandhome]

Thank you so much!

[@sherishaw-wn7nr]

I would have purchased the gorgeous green transfer ware also. Even though it is a reproduction, it looks fantastic in your home!!! I would have brought it home too!!!

[@hymnsandhome]

Thank you so much, Sheri! I just loved it at first sight!

[@susanjohnson3973]

Love everything and your skirt is beautiful!💖

[@hymnsandhome]

Thank you, Susan! :-)

[@annamccosker7878]

Wow Melissa! I've never seen half that type of stuff at any of the (many) thrift stores available to me... How incredible!! So happy for you 🙂🙏

[@hymnsandhome]

Thank you, Anna! I'm happy you could 'come along!' :-)

[@SoniaMedina-p1n]

Aunque no entiendo su idioma, gusto mucho de sus videos, siempre que me topo con ellos entro y pongo dedito arriba. Le saludo desde Ecuador, felicitaciones.

[@JShow78]

Loved this video!! I recently found and original oil portrait from what I assume was Victorian era based upon dress and hair styling. It had a beautiful frame on it and while I have no idea of whom the subject is, I adore it. I agree completely about finding/thrifting your home to create a curated and uniquely “you” home

[@hymnsandhome]

That sounds lovely! It's such a fun and exciting process to see what pieces come our way and to mix them all together in our homes. :-)

[@relliot1000]

Just beautiful!

[@hymnsandhome]

Thank you so much, Becky! :-)

[@cottageofeight]

Love the sweet skirt you made!

[@hymnsandhome]

Thanks, Laura! :-)

[@MimiG2182]

I loved the green/white tea set - I would have purchased that as well. Also, the pictures were very nice and what you did with the tablecloth - CLEVER...

[@hymnsandhome]

Aw thank you! :-)

[@catacombcatholic5571]

Homemaking is an artistic endeavour, and your videos capture this. I have used tablecloths for curtains, as the patterns can be perfect, but I never thought of making a skirt! Thank you!!!

[@hymnsandhome]

Aw thank you for the very kind compliment! I'm glad it gave you some inspiration! :-)

[@kimbowers3607]

Love the tea set!

[@hymnsandhome]

Thank you! :-)

[@Patricia-x9l2m]

You bought well and you decorated so nice. Very tasteful and heartful, Like always. 👍👍😀❤

[@hymnsandhome]

Thank you so very much! :-)

Holaaaa buena noche, lindas las compras, tu falda quedó bella; te envío un abrazo y felíz inicio de semana.

[@hymnsandhome]

Gracias, Lilian!

[@777Iwish]

Beautiful content, thank you

[@hymnsandhome]

Thank you so much!

[@Varykino1917]

Lol - when you first looked at the blue print table cloth at the store, I thought it was a skirt. I thought what a cute skirt and then you said it was a tablecloth and I thought, well, okay, it will make for a pretty table cloth. Great choice into making it into a skirt! lol! I can't imagine what you are going to use that white wooden ??? for. I can only think to hang a boston fern in it. Love your home! And your baby is sooo cute!

[@hymnsandhome]

Haha that's funny! It just automatically struck me as "skirt" too! And thank you! :-)

[@mehrit1648]

Great video thanks for sharing.

[@hymnsandhome]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@leslieweber5177]

I would use the white wooden piece as a lantern with either a battery operated safe candle or a real candle with a glass hurricane cover. Definitely can see it at Christmas with evergreens and candle. Very nice😊

[@hymnsandhome]

Ooh, that sounds pretty! Thanks for the idea! Maybe I'll save it for Christmas. :-)

[@lindsaydrozek4999]

I just found your channel whe. I did a search about Iron stone. How serendipitous ❤

[@hymnsandhome]

Thank you for being here! :-)

[@cathyjenkins7831]

Lovely❤ I wish you would make a video of you playing the piano.

[@hymnsandhome]

Thank you, Cathy! I actually used to have a music KZbin channel in college and it's still floating out there, haha...

[@cem8205]

Beautiful skirt!

[@hymnsandhome]

Thank you! :-)

[@hollyashton7009]

Some pretty high prices there! I’m sure Homegoods would have the same style of basket at a comparable price. That’s kind of disappointing since many people thrift as they are on a tight budget & also seniors on a fixed income. That will be me too. When I retire, my shopping trips will be few & far between. The cute 2 peg shelf was adorable! I’d hang 2 tea towels on it.

[@hymnsandhome]

I know, the prices have become rather ridiculous! I suppose it goes right along with the rise in price of everything these days. So frustrating!

[@terrizimmerman5297]

Beautiful skirt

[@hymnsandhome]

Thank you, Terri! :-)
