[@CanterburyCottage]

Oh thank you!

[@nitachance4238]

The books and the lamp have my heart!

[@ivankagren2746]

The books are a great idea. Old ones are becoming very hard to find😊

[@riostephanie489]

I just found a little black kitten 3 weeks ago that I have named “ Sweetie”. We have become quite attached to one another! I’m definitely making this tin, it’s so adorable 🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛

[@pollycravy270]

Sherry, when applying a thin paper like one layer napkin, lay napkin on dry surface apply modpoge, it will penetrate and adhere napkin to surface, eliminating most wrinkles. I watch and enjoy your videos. I have learn d sooo much.

[@janethayes1908]

If those GW ladies could just see the trivet now!! I love it!!😂😍

[@patriciamalone3553]

Sherri… you are a smart girl for not throwing away such things as your goof off can.. verrry cute!

[@lovingmayberry307]

Tins and lamp! 💜

[@brenyule]

Oh boy Canterbury Sherry time!❤

[@barbaralauinger6350]

I like the “antique” books best. You make such beautiful things.

[@chellepitts6677]

Most ALL looked antique!! I LOVED the gold clock, but someone beat me to it in your catalogue…haha. But lo and behold, I got your green wall clock that will match my kitchen perfectly!! The books were fantastic as well!

[@conniedelvigna9427]

The cloche lamp is so unique and beautiful. Eye catching, but serene at the same time

[@bonnieodonnell2780]

Most vintage looking-the milking stool, the clock. I love the lamp.

[@dianabrown4152]

Of all of the videos that I have watched using thrift store finds, I think yours are the most enjoyable. I just started following and have only watched two, but I find them very creative and love them all.

[@rhondasales5176]

Love the basket but the books look the part the most to me. Tyfs

[@debramcadams7840]

All these flips were great. The lamp is my favorite 😊

[@CanterburyCottage]

Yay! Thank you!

[@m.service5584]

The lamp is MY favorite, too, Sherry!!❤

[@danastory9294]

❤ them all but that cloche lamp is everything!! I will never see one of those again!!❤❤❤❤❤

[@ashleyrigatoni702]

That glass lamp was so cozy and you have a wonderfully pleasant voice.

[@barbaraperry6970]

Sherry, you are truly amazing!! My favorites are the milking stool, the tin box, and the tile and wood trivet... They truly look vintage. You are an inspiration!! Thanks so much 😊

[@MamaT160]

The cloche lamp is stunning!

[@sandicantz2003]

My picks for the most authentic-looking antiques were the milking stool and the old frame and painting. Loved everything, though.

[@franceswitham8214]

I can't pick a favorite. They're all beautiful.

[@margaretdillinger5090]

I never knew you could do the reverse decoupage with scrap book paper. Loving these flips so much. The basket turned out gorgeous. Loving that lamp.

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thanks so much! I hadn’t tried using scrapbook paper before, but I will definitely be trying it again!

[@margaretdillinger5090]

@@CanterburyCottage I am going to try it. I tried reverse decoupage once but I know what I did wrong so I’m ready to try it again.

[@Justiceiscoming4you]

You inspire me, I’ve been hitting thrift stores looking for frames for my dark academia room I’m doing. 😊

[@melissahyatt9626]

The clock, spice rack, tins, and basket were my favs, but that all were wonderful! The lamp blew me away too!

[@nancysemenko4871]

When I watch your videos, I think that it won’t work. And then , just like that you have made an amazing piece. The clock is my favorite. But then everything is amazing. Thank you for sharing your talent.

[@greatestever6738]

I think the picture in the black frame really looked like it came from the past the most to me. What great ideas! I love them all. Birds are so beautiful.

[@CanterburyCottage]

Oh, thank you so much! 😊

[@chelseamorning608]

the vintage tin came out amazing. i love tins and birds, so that's my favorite

[@lauramccall5892]

My favorite is the clock and the books. Love them all

[@Becky-nn3pu]

All of these projects are just gorgeous! I can't pick a favorite! Your creativity is amazing!

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you so much, Becky!

[@barbaradzitko1826]

Sherry, you are definitely the best at what you do. You always come up with such great ideas.

[@conniegray3272]

The tiled decor makeover was my favorite!

[@artstartdiy]

Beautiful work! The change to the birds for the trivet was a good choice, if you use a gloss topcoat on it it would resemble real tile❤️✨

[@heidigresh2743]

Not sure if the cloche was truly antique looking but it was my favorite piece this week.

[@ruthfitzwater-cn3vc]

The cloche lamp and the print on fabric are my favorites! Your brain is just genius!!

[@CanterburyCottage]

Oh thank you!☺️

[@tangerinecottage]

I love them all! I really loved the repurposed goo gone can with the cat label. I also loved the little shelf with blue and white.

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@lynnnickerson6334]

Hi Sherry, it’s pretty hard to pick a favorite… they all look so nice! You come up with so many great ideas!!! You keep inspiring me, thank you for sharing!

[@thepennycrafters7616]

Sherry the lamp!!! Absolutely beautiful ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@simoneshlomi3869]

The cloche lamp....how unique!

[@trudy6971]

Oh my, that cloche lamp! I’m in Love 🥰!

[@laurasposato8366]

All gorgeous. The lamp and books were my favorite

[@rasharasho5697]

The lamp OMG turned out so beautiful & unique 😍

[@blueburytreasurelaurabrown8482]

I loved the cloche lamp…..that was my favorite today. ❤❤❤

[@CanterburyCottage]

I agree. It didn’t look vintage, but it was my favorite project this week!

[@gizmo7877]

I don’t know much about antiques like you had today but I’m in love with that basket and would love to try to print on material. But only if it will go through the printer without jamming. It jams when I try to run through tissue paper adhered to copy paper. As always, you do a bang up job recreating old to new. You have a wealth of knowledge.

[@tisa6193]

The cloche lamp was my favorite!

[@bonnieb1590]

I am a huge fan of unique lamps. I love the lamp cloche!

[@cwilson6550]

Clock and stool perfection!

[@bonniesmith1179]

Gosh Sherry. I couldn’t decide which item I liked the best because they were all so good. I thought the spice rack was amazing as well as the clock and basket. Truly, they were all amazing. The framed picture turned out stunning! Your ability amazes me, and your creativity. As I’ve gotten older I don’t trust my judgement on. decorating and creating like I used to. Once I finally do complete something it turns out well but I spend so much time thinking about it things don’t get accomplished as soon as I’d like. Thank you for sharing your talents with us all.

[@petrine5]

Love them all but the bird-tin is my favorite❤ The birds are so pretty😍

[@karensaville913]

The lamp and picture frame...stunning 😊

[@stephhorning4393]

I absolutely love watching you & your flips!! It is 1048 PM & I have to be up @ 3 AM but I had to keep watching!! Thank you!!😊😊😊

[@helenlouise_]

The books and the tins were spot on! I also get great ideas on how to "antique" my thrifted frames😊 Thanks Sherry!

[@CanterburyCottage]

You are so welcome! Thanks for watching, Helen! 😊

[@juneramirez8580]

Finally my decor is back in style!!! Lol. I all came from an Aunt that was born in 1900! Some is 1930's and needs serious refinishing and the rest is from the 1950's. Baskets here in AZ run much higher.

[@susan6942]

Oh my word girl what an eye you have God definitely blessed you love all your projects

[@apropst5867]

Sherry...two thumbs up on the cloche lamp. I don't know which you like more; clocks, birds, or books ! 🤔🤣

[@fantan04]

Hi Sherry 😊 Having been on holiday I have missed watching my favourite crafter and am binge watching what I missed! These flips are amazing - I never fail to be staggered by your imagination and creativity. Honestly, sometimes I sit here with my mouth agape whilst shaking my head incredulously when I see the results of your talents! Love, love, love your videos and your company. 👍🥰👍 Ann x

[@sprogohomeaway9602]

I really love all the projects, especially the books which was my favorite. Hope you will consider doing another trash to treasure video and a video of charity shop buys that most people will not purchase. Xxx

[@dorisandujar8277]

I really am not sure which project looks more vintage but I will say that I love everyone. You amaze me with your talent and I'm mesmerized all the time. I'm 66 and I grew up all around antiques as my parents had a store. My mother was always stripping furniture and hauling things home to redo. I guess I've forgotten a lot over the years but my love for this remains. That's one reason why I love watching you so much. It warms my heart and brings back memories. The basket is lovely and I want to try doing one. I've taken quite a few home from my senior center. Thank you for sharing.

[@nhlams]

I loved the one in the frame with the houses....my favorite!

[@lindasmith5190]

The cloche lamp is beautiful and the "old" picture with the black painted frame.

[@DDeeS-jx2mq]

Oh, that cloche lamp is everything, what a great piece, wonderful repurpose.

[@CanterburyCottage]

Oh, thank you!

[@redtrain210]

I just love how your mind works...wish I was so clever...I never can pick a favorite.

[@cassandrasuzannelalonde4758]

The clock is striking, your lamp project was enlightening. Thank you for your video.

[@jansfield5314]

We are spoilt for choice Sherry, I love them all, but the spice rack and Trivet were my real favourites! Oh how I love your videos and I learn so much xx

[@brendamathis4374]

Sherry, I adored the basket, I am absolutely going to try my best to make one. As always thank you so much for sharing your talent and I ask the Lord to bless you

[@terrybazin8067]

Sherry...most motivating and inspiring video I have watched in a while. I got out of my comfy chair and started painting a few things so I could do a few decoupage projects in the morning. Thank you for the great great great video. Don't know what it was that intrigued me, but this got me out of my current state of the blahs. ❤

[@thesentimentalsoul3683]

The lamp cloche looks AMAZING

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you so much! I’m really loving it, too!

[@janethayes1908]

You have such a talent for seeing things in a new light!! Love them all but especially LOVE the cloche lamp!!

[@joycewirth3022]

Hands down was the glass cloche, a lot of work but it came out amazing. Maybe I can find a lamp like the one you used to make my own, but since you posted this creation, all will be snatched up in an instant. The clock was great and turned out so nice. Thank you for all your great ideas and how-to's. See you next Monday. 🌞

[@dorothybeaty3638]

Oh my that cloche lamp was the best item yet. Sherry you are my favorite crafter so many good ideas.

[@gaylem4333]

Loved them all, but really liked the clock.

[@lizamartinez3098]

Love the lamp, the book, and the tin

[@judyreed9003]

You are so creative and I love your up cycle projects are beautiful

[@hopealdridge9584]

As always....LOVE each project.....just beautiful ! I do like the birds on last piece best !! Thanks for sharing your talent with us....hope you have a great week ! 😺

[@lisadawson2652]

The lamp is my favorite just stunning 🤩

[@aolsweetsew]

I really liked the spice rack reimagined. I'm redoing the decor on top of my kitchen cabinets. If I can find a nice spice rack at the thrift store, I may try this. Thanks for the inspiration. Thanks also for sharing how to undo our boo boos. I have a decoupage project that I was never happy with, now I know how to redo it. P.S. I wish we had better thrift stores where I live. Even our Goodwill has gotten expensive.

[@suecox2308]

All of these are clever, and I love that you used your Goof-Off tin in such an imaginative way--nothing wasted!

[@debbiewilkinson4277]

Thank you. So much Ms. Sherry for sharing your talent.. I am always amazed!! I think the milk stool looks the most vintage. 😊have a blessed day!!

[@fayedewitt4183]

The trivet was my favorite ❤😊

[@tammycarroll710]

[@maryfrancesbaker289]

The green handle is the perfect vintage shade!

[@ginacable5376]

Absolutely beautiful every project was enchanting.

[@marypoole4724]

I love them all. My favorite was the brass candle with the globe and greenery inside. You have given me some great ideas in this one. Thank you hugs

[@lydialangfordjoiner765]

Oh, my, Sherry, you are fantastic! I am definitely a fan and look forward to the time I can watch your episode on Monday. Something always happens and interferes which is utterly frustrating, else I would watch the moment it appears on KZbin! What a joy to finally get to see it! You truly are an amazing, creative Master of Decor.♥️ Thank you so very much!

[@CanterburyCottage]

Oh, thank you! You are always so very kind, Lydia! I appreciate your comments so much!

I needed an extra like button, I also cannot choose a favourite. I love them all.

[@gailrhodes2859]

The salt wash frame with old print in it looked most authentic my first favorite the basket you painted inside and out! Love everything though! I can’t wait to make a hurricane lamp as a gift and a cloche as another gift!! I admire your talent!!

[@CanterburyCottage]
