Re: your newspaper comment- I was 28 in 1984. Yes, it was an interesting year to be alive and a female. I remember being referred to as a "spinster" in the legal documents of my first house purchase. It really just means "unmarried female", but I was offended because I don't think an unmarried male would have "bachelor" in his house purchase papers!

[@staciabelcher28]

I didn’t know that thank you

[@susanpeterson9947]

I ran into the same sort of thing here in Florida in 1994. I was married but separated from my husband and was looking for financing to buy a small home. Even though my credit was FAR better than my husband’s, I still had a devil of a time finding a lender. And when I did, the man who owned the Title company tried to tell me that I HAD TO put his name on the deed along with mine. I refused and threatened to go elsewhere, so finally got my way. 😡😡😡! I paid my 15 year mortgage off in 10 years with no one’s help, thank you very much!

[@Poppy-]

Spinster in 84? Wow... I didn't even realise people were still using this term then. Single/not in a relationship women are often seen as pathetic, sad, crazy cat Lady... Whereas single men are seen as having fun and a blast not being in a relationship. 🤔🙄😒

[@teresacarle294]

😔Disappointed you ladies faced such discrimination, but 🎉thrilled you were able to persevere in you plans to buy Real Estate in the end. We need to hear these stories, esp. the younger generations. 😉 Not a militant feminist by today's standards, but I'm going to sound like one when I say that is a brilliant example of systemic sexism in a patriarchal society. It even represents the misogyny that is entrenched into the fabric of the English language. Clearly, the only option should be for Single or Married on such applications full stop. In my lifetime, I have encountered a lot of women who take great pride in stating the fact they are either divorced or widowed specifically bcos it represents the fact they were once chosen for marriage. Again, even their former marital status gives women today a slightly higher social standing in the unspoken hierarchy of life. 💍When validating their own marital status it is often a subtle slam to their single sisters who never wed. 😣There is nothing worse than the condescending or faux sympathetic tone that comes with it. As a dedicated bachelor (refuse using "ette" version), I have been on the receiving end of that attitude frequently in my lifetime. As if a part of me doesn't already grieve the fact I didn't go the "until☠death do we part" route -- do I really need my nose👃rubbed into over & over like a misbehaving puppy🐶!? It is antiquated & evil😈 to belittle & ⛏chip away at the esteem of females who never married, while greatly elevating a man who has never succumbed to the state to almost💪super-hero proportions. Such double standards need to be routed out. "Spinster" needs to retire fully in our lexicon like many other out-dated phrases too. ☮Peace 💛Love 🌼Beauty

[@pamelap.123]

@@teresacarle294 agree wholeheartedly!

[@eydnamortensen5985]

The jungle skirt... if it only has one seam, I would open that seam so you have an oblong piece of fabric. I would then use a nice black fabric to top and bottom as well as back piece. And bingo you have a bigger pillow!

[@suecox2308]

A small length of black wool fabric would extend that jungle print skirt into a large pillow cover.

[@janiefoglewohlerspantryand2102]

Yes, or just use the print as the front and back it with a plain color

[@soniaclarke1171]

My thoughts exactly

[@michaelaredfearn7082]

Or frame sections

[@janetmoore1124]

@@michaelaredfearn7082 Mindreader! LOL! If the fabric is cut in an a-line as it appears, it would be more cumbersome to make a pillow cover. Putting it in a frame would eliminate the required finagling to get it into some sort of pillow shape while retaining the lovely patterns.

[@teresacarle294]

@@janetmoore1124 🤔Might be right about that shape & struggle to turn into a proper pillow. 💖Personally, I love pretty textiles turned into framed art or the mat for art or photography. Inherited beautiful garments from my mom that carried a lot of sentimental value, but they weren't exactly my style. Felt guilty chopping them up, but no one will appreciate these textiles quite like I do. Plus, now I can enjoy them through-out the year. They are protected from dust & direct ☀️sun-light too. Besides, not a person who wears patterns or even likes walls filled with them floor-to-ceiling. Pattern is not something I can usually stand for a long time, so I appreciate the versatility to swap them out easy. A little pattern goes a long way. It also keeps things fresh for each season or holiday.🎄 ❤☘🐰 🇺🇸 🎃 🦃

I love the idea of having a list of what you wanted from anthropology to help you shop. Game changer!!

[@elizabethevanskiikka2184]

Despite not aging well at all, nor being appropriate in any time, the news paper was a cool find!!! Love this idea for a series! Would love to watch more videos in this theme! Maybe specific to rooms or themes, cause anthropology is such a vast and creative inspiration source ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

[@HermioneChantal]

It aged so very very badly, but it makes me thankful that although things might not be perfect in 2020, at least it’s not the 1980s 😱 I’ve kept it in the back of the frame to keep a bit of history 😁 Thank you for the lovely idea! Anthropologie in the kitchen could be so fun 💖💖💖

[@janetmoore1124]

@@HermioneChantal If you think it was eye-opening for the 1980's, check out materials from the 1950's and 1960's. Will truly curl your hair. :)

You could add some handles to that lovely skirt and turn it into a bag.

Yes!

More than half the items in my home is from thrift shops! I love thrifting so much. I’m really into the bohemian maximalist look and I wonder if you could match that style like you did in this video! :)

Never realized how much my charity shop sucks till I saw what Hermione finds at hers.

[@meljacobs4227]

I agree, i never find anything good.

[@mimarimani]

If I know I'm going to an 'extra posh' place I always check out their charity shops. So much better than the common ones ;)

[@janetmoore1124]

Maybe have a conversation with those who run the shop? They may not be aware of what you are looking for OR they may not be getting that type of material.

[@Poppy-]

@Lisa Isabelle my friend lives in a more posh neighbourhood, so her church basement and charity shop have better things. Maybe try a posh neighbourhood charity shop? Mine is literally close by the homeless mission and the courthouse 😬

The gold in the background of the picture with the wood frame gave the same vibe as the frames of gold. Great idea!!! It all came out great

[@jennifercole9042]

I loved your styling of the shelves. I would like to see a Scandinavian or mid century modern haul and styling.

[@joane5777]

Mid century 💗💗

[@shirleydunn8050]

I love Anthropologie but it is so expensive! They have great sales though. I love the amber vase you got. I got a lovely Laura Ashley glass teapot with strainer and a Chinese mug that stacks from the Hospice shop the other day . It was still in its box. I thought it was a great buy for £3. Even better when the assistant said there were 3 packets of loose leaf tea in the box!

[@nickieannjones2017]

I went to the charity shops yesterday, got a lovely camel jacket for £2.99, some cranberry glassware, 2X Laura Ashley pillow cases for £3.99, some knitwear and a lovely candle holder. It's one of my favourite things to do, especially when you have a shopping list. Love this video!

[@janetwalker3541]

Those gold frames have been around since thethe 60's! Really liked the capiz shell lamp shade! 💗😀

[@kt_jpg]

I feel like we would be best friends! You have such a relaxing voice and positive attitude that makes these hauls fun instead of just an advertisement. I love the idea of duping these high end fast fashion/home decor stores with existing products!!!

[@samanthaschneider8531]

You're an absolute doll! Also, fun drinking game idea: Everyone take a shot every time Hermione says "bits" or "loads" lol! :) I lost count after 37 "bits" in this clip! Actually, scratch that idea, we'd all promptly die from alcohol poisoning for sure....

[@Vk-mm4lf]

I do love your taste. I do look often but rarely find the quality of items that you find in your shops.

[@nancyberg6260]

The vase! Also gold frames with newspaper dated is a treasure .

[@nicolecapote1724]

Noooo...you left the giant tassels?!!? Tell me it isn't so! Those were amazing! 😖 Otherwise, some very beautiful finds. It looks like it was a pretty successful trip! I did love the topic of this "dupes" video. As for future suggestions: West Elm and CB2 are a couple that come to mind. As always, tfs your time with us, it's always fun.

[@HermioneChantal]

Don’t worry the big gold one came home with me 😉 but I regret not getting them all 😭 Oooh love both those ideas thank you! We don’t have CB2 here so it would be a really interesting idea to look for similar bits

[@nicolapreece6368]

Just to mention if you're still looking for raffia or similar baskets, Oxfam have new ones online and in most of their stores! They're made by artisans in Vietnam that are supported by Oxfam projects and I have a few of my plants in them (with a bag plastic bag inside) and they look great!

From one virgo to another, don't obsess about your hair, you look adorable!! Fun video!! I like how adaptable you are cuz I'm pretty sure that used to be your desk area. Happy to see you buying some blue and green. Have bought so much at a charity shop recently that is so remarkable, it's too hard to choose something to discuss. I did find a cream colored clay vase that I adore and I put it right by my door and holds autumn flowers currently and sits on a round caramel colored tablecloth topped with a beautiful gray, blue and cream scarf. On the same table a tall blue, cream and gray ceramic candle holder sits with a pretty candle. It all matches rugs I have on the floor!!! So fun!!!

[@HermioneChantal]

Hello fellow Virgo! ✨ thank you for that I will try not to obsess too much! Oooh those sound like incredible finds 😍 the clay vase sounds like such a steal and by the sounds of it it’s perfect for the autumn! I got such a cosy feeling from reading about the way you’ve styled it! 🍁🍂🌾

[@shannonsolomon8491]

I love your channel! Wish I was that crafty!

[@lisapyke8129]

Loved this one! Now I need to check out Anthropologie for ideas. Another skirt to pillow cover idea...who says it has to be a typical shape. Use skirt as is for the cover. Make an insert using inexpensive fabric in skirt shape and fill with fill. If you have an old bed pillow use that filling for insert. Otherwise buy an inexpensive bed pillow for the filling. Usually much cheaper than bagged craft filling. Put it in and hand sew the skirt edges together. Could make tassels for upper corners to balance out the wider bottom. Last thought if easier just sew up bottom of skirt fill with filling and sew up top edge. I think you need to do this as a diy project because I have been looking for textured fabric/ clothing to turn into pillow covers but can find nothing. That skirt is fabulous! Am Envious 🇨🇦😂

[@ladydeetz]

Loved the print on the skirt too! I was thinking maybe you can frame it? No glass just like a framed artisanal tapestry.

Just get a larger piece of black or what ever color fabric you like and mount the smaller beautiful tapestry piece on it. To make your cushion bigger. You can even trim the piece of tapestry with some thin braiding it will be beautiful
