THRIFTED VINTAGE WNTER DECOR ON A BUDGET - DECORATE WITH ME - DINING ROOM

[@dianewilliams9729]

Everything looks great! I love the collection of sheep/lambs! Since childhood, I have always envisioned God when praying and he was always holding me. About 13 years ago when going through a challenging time in life, he was holding a lamb, not me, which was concerning. I mentioned this to a female stranger and she bowed her head and prayed and looked up and told me that the lamb was me. I now understand that HE is definitely my shepherd! Yes, I love the lambs and especially our Shepherd!

[@YVYOU]

Oh Diane, what a beautiful story. As I was reading your message before I got to the end I was saying the same thing...you are the lamb. I love that picture of Jesus running after the lamb, have you seen it? I need to get that picture for my home. Your story have me goosebumps, so incredibly special! Love you sweet friend!

[@GingerJarLane]

Hi Michele and Cheryl! I love how you styled everything! I love your style and you have THE best decor! So many beautiful treasures to look at! Praying for TJ and adding the other friends as well! Those sheep are just amazing! 🤍🤍🤍 Love you my friend! Big hugs!

[@YVYOU]

Awe, Dawn you are the sweetest! I was going to send you a message last night but when I realized how late it was I figured you might not want to be my friend after that. I hope you are doing well, hopefully I'll get a chance to talk to you soon. Love you precious friend!

[@soblessed6438]

[@karenbrewer5864]

You have made some beautiful vignettes and your dining room is so pretty. I have cabin fever so I’ve been moving some things from room to room for a little change. Your videos just inspire me. I will remember those persons on your list and you and your sister’s families. We can form a big ole prayer circle. I’m a big fan of the sheep. 🐑❤

[@YVYOU]

I love that Karen, I hope this channel will always be more than just decorating but about lifting each other up in time of need. You are such a blessing to me. I love changing things up, only wish I had more spaces to move things around. Thank you for watching this one. Love and blessings!

[@elizabethwhite196]

You have definitely mastered the art of display and the sheep will make a wonderful transition to Easter. I have similar suitcase that hold old photo albums and tapes and I conveniently push them under my sofas for easy access and I don’t mind the handles exposed because at least they’re out of the way. Prayers are sent for your loved one.❤🙏

[@YVYOU]

Oh Elizabeth I sure wish I could get them under my sofa but no luck. I would be like you and wouldn't mind the handles showing either. Thank you sweet friend for your prayers. God bless you!

I love sheep, I am looking forward to being able to thrift again when we’re all moved. It’s been hard to watch all my friends here going on with life as usual and I’m over here stressing with a move, surgeries and funerals. That’s why I’ve been MIA for a week or two but I’m trying to stay positive and connected. You’re home is beautiful for winter sweet friend and thank you for your sharing beautiful heart ❤️

Beautiful! What about placing the suitcases in your bedroom? It's amazing how a clear cloche can draw your eyes to what's under it. Continued prayers for your friends, and thank you for praying for me and my family. Have a blessed weekend Friend!

[@YVYOU]

I never thought about that but maybe I could move my pink stool and add them there? My home is so small it can be a challenge finding new places for things but I will certainly try that. Thank you also for your continued prayers for TJ and our friends. We of course are still praying for you and your family. Love and blessings to you dear friend.

[@lindawrench8437]

So pretty. I love that you are decorating for winter. Too many people have jumped to spring.

[@YVYOU]

I'm never ready to jump into spring right after Christmas, it takes me awhile to let go of the evergreens and move into florals. I'm trying to take in every season and enjoy it and I'm thankful you enjoy it too. Thank you for watching and God bless you!

[@CorinneE-vv9zx]

Very thoughtful gift❤️

[@theresalessig7092]

How lovely!!! You really put a lot of thoughtfulness into your displays and it shows!! I thought your suitcase collection, or part of it, could be stacked up under the living room window. You could swap the pretty green box into the dining room corner, just an idea, 💡

[@YVYOU]

Theresa you're a genius! That is such a great idea, I love that!!! I'm so thankful you shared that with me and I will give that a try and see if I like it. I might have to try that now! Thank you again for the great idea and for watching. God bless you!

[@debm2057]

The corbel is beautiful there! I love it! I drool over all of your beautiful Ironstone. I am on the look out for more, I don't have many pieces yet. Everything is so beautiful!

Good evening dear friend! I love all of the sheep but now that little one will make me think of you. I'm so thankful for your friendship and you being her for us. I pray you are doing well. Love and blessings my sweet friend!

[@jeanieturner5183]

As always you bring such wonderful sweet memories to me. I just love the stories that go along with your amazing finds. I always wonder how they were used .I am sure back then the owner would never have thought what joy they will be bringing others years later. God bless. Love,hugs and prayers. I will be praying for your prayer list.

[@YVYOU]

Jeanie I never really thought of that until you said that. I bet you are right. I always think, who was the first person to purchase this item and did it bring them as much joy as it brings me? I wonder who used it, or played with it or what kind of home it was in. Wouldn't that be something if we could go back and see? Thank you for your sweet prayers, I know it helps each and every person. We love you precious friend!

[@gerryboyer2448]

I like the suitcases there and the look it gives. What a good idea to use the book pages as shelf paper! I have a place where I want to do that . I am going to add Tim Holtz distressing ink to the edges as well. Love the sheep. Prayers

[@YVYOU]

Oh I love that idea of the distressing ink, I never thought of that. I don't have any but I know I need that in my life. I'll have to try that. Thank you for watching and for your sweet prayers. God bless you.

[@lavernejenschke4905]

Love your decorations. The sheep are precious.

[@YVYOU]

Awe, thank you so much, I just adore them too!

[@DeannaMoyers]

You do such an amazing job with your design....as far as your stack of suitcases....I think if you just use greenery that cascades down over the ones you have turned sideways, leaving your crocks sitting on them, it would look just fine and that way you can retain them for your storage purposes.

[@YVYOU]

That's a brilliant idea, I love the idea of greenery cascading down the side. Thank you so much for your ideas I will have to try that. God bless you and thank you for watching!

[@kathygagner8484]

Beautiful I use real greenery from my bushes god bless 🎄❄️🙏❄️

[@YVYOU]

[@NinaPeery]

Everything is beautifully arranged. The greenery on top of the Hoosier cabinet is lovely as is. The sheep are sweet!

Thank you! I was going to take the greenery down but I liked it so much I decided to leave it, I'm glad you like it too. Thank you for watching and God bless you!

Michelle, the hunt for your favorite items is what fun of thrifting is all about!!! You score good on some days but not all times. All your displays are great!!! Maybe one day you’ll decide to show your kitchen I don’t think that’s your favorite place lol. Love the Bible verse today. Your friend Terry in Athens Georgia 🙏

[@YVYOU]

You are exactly right Terry! LOL. I am hoping to update my kitchen, I have many ideas but sometimes things don't work out like we plan. I wish I could build things! If I do work on my kitchen I promise to take ya'll along for the ride. Thrifting has been a bust for awhile here but today I found some amazing antique apothecary jars and couldn't believe it. I can't wait to share that with ya'll soon. You are right though, it's the thrill of the hunt, you just never know what you might find. God bless you friend!

[@CorinneE-vv9zx]

Hi Michelle, You did a lovely job decorating for winter- I especially loved the glass cake stands( I just thrifted 2 white ones last week). I ended up putting my Christmas trees- Mercury glass, silver ones and bottle brush ones all away. I put out some pine cones and greens. I think you should display that Currier and Ives plate- I have that winter scene displayed in chippendale secretary.( kind of my curiosity cabinet). I have all my white ironstone in my displayed in my glass door buffet. LOVED the ivory McCoy ivory vase and the brown transferware!!❤️ The sheep are just perfect- what a beautiful, thoughtful gift. Since I’m new to this site, I’m not sure who you are requesting prayers for- but they are given nonetheless. Oh- are you able to put the dishes in the suitcases in the buffet? Or maybe store a few under a bed for a little more space? Anyhoo, wishing you blessings!

[@YVYOU]

Hello sweet friend! I'm so thankful to have you here, its truly a blessing. I think you are right on the Currier and Ives plate, it should be displayed. I felt like putting those pinecones on the plate was not the best choice so I will find a spot to display it because they really are too beautiful to hide away. Living in such a small space is challenging. I'm hoping to clear out my buffet and store a lot of my extra dishes there. Right now it holds a lot of the things I use everyday so I need to figure out a new spot for all of that. I'm hoping to add a new cabinet to my kitchen for display since my Hoosier is pack to the brim. We will see. Your home sounds lovely the way you have displayed your items. I do appreciate your prayers for my family, TJ and Billy and the rest our friends from our channel. I feel that praying for others is what God wants us to do. It was nice getting to talk to you this evening and I pray you have a wonderful weekend. God bless you!

[@candylong9795]

Love all of the decor! Would one of the suitcases fit under the buffet and/or under the mirror on the buffet?

[@YVYOU]

I never thought about trying it on the buffet, that is a great idea! I did try to make one fit under the buffet, but sadly it wouldn't fit. Thank you for the awesome tip! God bless you sweet friend!

[@pammanley7324]

I lost my aunt yesterday to cancer. Please remember the family of Linda Rice Bowman, Ga in your prayers. Thankfullu we know she is with the Lord! If you would consider splitting the suitcases, would one fit under the buffet?

[@YVYOU]

We will certainly be praying for God's comfort to Linda's family. I was just praying and thinking about her sitting at the feet of Jesus. Its our loved ones that need God's comfort and peace and we will be praying for them. Thank you for the great idea but I did try to put one under the buffet but it wouldn't fit. I can't scoot the buffet down because of a return vent that I can't block. If you think of anything else, let me know but that was a great idea. God bless you sweet friend!
