Transitioning From Summer To Vintage Fall Decorating

[@babygracie68]

So happy to see you enjoying your home, getting ready for Fall and having a wonderful time with your beautiful sweet kittens🧡☺️

[@deborahcole1045]

Glad to see you back and hopeful again.

[@emilyretro]

Me too! 😂❤️

I have a very energetic smart cat. Never had a cat like my current one and I've had cats since childhood. He opened my front door and attic door. We got child locks for the doors. His new worst trick a few days ago he turned on our gas stove. Nothing fancy about our stove he just used the right amount of pressure and twist on the knob leaping off the stove/counter area. Thank goodness we were home and luckily I wasn't fully asleep as it was like at 4 am. Anyway at this point I have to keep most of my older things boxed for another time (when he gets much older) or display them in a glass cabinet. I love the darn cat he is family. I also love my vintage things. Its a struggle but I do realize I need to downsize a few of the non favorite vintage. Anyway anything that I love and adore as far as fragile vintage goes in glass and out of reach of the cat. I have learned to look at everything from his perspective. lol

[@rebeccabuck8716]

Love the update on you and the kitties. I am newly retired (teacher )and while I have a great family I was experiencing sadness because I didn’t feel needed. I learned that I have to like myself and do things for myself. Now, I help my daughter with her dog and my other daughter moved in along with her husband and 4 year old son. My daughter ( with the family) is going to graduate school, so my husband and I are helping. It was an adjustment but I too am feeling so much happier. Thank you for being you

[@tcoladonato]

Such a coincidence I’m watching this video about Blossom and your kitties. I just trapped 5 cats bright and early this morning - they will get sterilized tomorrow morning. Thank you beautiful human for being a responsible part of the community, and not the problem. Some fearls just cannot be domesticated. You did the right thing letting her free roam - she’ll live a longer, healthy life. 🧡🐈🍁

[@lauriehessler8639]

Seeing those kittens brightened up my whole day! I have a soft spot for black cats and Siamese, and they are absolutely thriving with the love and attention they get from you. And I totally agree that if you adopt kittens, you should get two. It helps to socialize them 😊

[@emilyretro]

Yes absolutely, they’re so much happier together 🥹

[@sadiegilliland2484]

Your dress is adorable & your day with your friend at the orchard looked lovely!

[@Fina_Kunterbunt]

Awwww ❤ it made me so happy hearing the kittys purr and that you can pet them now ❤ I love your shelf! I personally love cozy content with decorating, organizing, cleening, crafting, decluttering.. etc just everyday stuff. And I have a confession: I always pause your videos to get little glimpses of the rooms 😅 I would love to see how you placed your furniture for example. No need for it to be perfect or "finished" at all ❤ I loved your second video in the new house where you talked about the "messy in-between stages" - thats exactly what I would love to see ❤ Have a great day 😊 Fina

[@emilyretro]

Thank you for your input!!! Okay I’ll consider showing my living room in greater detail 🤣 probably once I do some Halloween decor in there. Thanks a bunch for watching ❤️

[@GageGinger]

Emily, I love your authenticity and your charm. You are what I think of when I hear the term 'Midwest nice'. As far as content goes, sharing whar makes you joyful is what we want to see. So glad things are looking up for you as we head toward a long winter!

[@emilyretro]

OMG WOW THANK YOU FOR THE COMPLIMENT!!! Love the “Midwest nice” thing 🥲❤️

[@joancreekmore5754]

Sooooo glad you're feeling better and enjoying those sweet kittens. Yes, two are definitely more fun than one!

[@garritygal]

What a nice life you are living. The kittens are beautiful and this video warmed my heart!

[@emilyretro]

Thanks so much ❤️

[@ninaslice]

Your outfit really reflected your mood! I’m so happy for you! Maybe you could do more vintage or groovy costume ideas for Halloween, or some diy decor and recipes from your vintage books? 🎃

[@emilyretro]

Those are AMAZING IDEAS! I almost always dress up for Halloween but haven’t talked about it on KZbin. Also the recipe idea is smart 😄

[@luckydude5860]

We are so glad to see you doing so well! Your Dad sounds like a great guy, helping with your projects!

[@emilyretro]

Yeah he’s the best ☺️

[@aliciapilotta5913]

Emily I'm so happy to see you smiling & back to wanting to decorate & do the things that make you happy!!!

[@emilyretro]

Thank you so much!!! 🥹

[@ellenengle2767]

The orange fall decorations look so good with the green shelf! 😍

[@emilyretro]

Thank you! 😄

[@MoonLitTails]

say GOODBYE to that paper pumpkin!!! lol💖

[@617883]

😊 I'm so happy to hear you are doing better. You look a lot happier. Life goes on. Trust me, the best is yet to come with or without a partner 😊 ☺️ 😉 when you can do what you love to do, which is decorating your on the right path.

[@emilyretro]

So true! Thanks ❤️

[@AndrewJames66]

You should do a video of you showing all of your Halloween blow molds and Christmas blow molds. We are here for you.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@pameladelancey5834]

They are so adorable!! Love Fall!! My favorite season too!! Thank you for sharing!!!❤❤❤

[@emilyretro]

You’re so welcome!! 😄

[@deborahpellerito6117]

Black cats are so special we always had them

[@emilyretro]

They sure are 🥹

[@sadiegilliland2484]

Use museum putty to secure any glassware the kitties can get to 😊

[@LoriNorton-jd3pp]

love your Fall decor! When you have a kitty your are never alone

[@emilyretro]

So true 🥲

[@robynmoffatt7968]

The kittens are adorable! I really watch all videos you put out however I do love the decorating/crafting ones!!

[@alisonerickson1408]

I'm so glad to hear how well you are doing, Emily! And the kittens are just so adorable ❤

[@emilyretro]

Thanks a bunch ❤️

[@JOYTOYEDITS]

I love your videos! You are one of my favorite channels to watch! Cant wait to see the rest of your Halloween/ fall decor! Love all your Halloween blow molds ! 👻 🎃

[@emilyretro]

Aw thanks that’s a high compliment 🥹

[@larajean1]

So glad to hear your doing better! Your kitchen is so adorable. I'd love updates on the other rooms of your house. I enjoy your decorating videos and the outings as well...

[@MoonLitTails]

keep petting them...theyll come around...have play sessions with them and give them some yummy treats ...💖

[@ritabush3324]

So glad to see you doing a lot better. Love your outfit. The colors lend themselves great to fall.

[@dianajemison105]

I'm so glad you're feeling better! Kitties help. Vera and Rosie are adorable. Our Holly, that we took in, was a stray. A woman that used to live in our apartment complex, used to take the srays to get get fixed. So, Holly has her ear clipped, too. She's a handful. We can't leave any paper out, or she'll shred it to bits. When you put out the paper Halloween decorations, I thought, that might not be a good idea. But, if they don't care about how fun paper is, you'll be fine.😂

[@emilyretro]

HAHAHAHA they rip up tissues!!! I have tissue bits everywhere 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 so gotta watch out for that haha!

[@karenhallinan142]

So happy for you , from a fellow “cat person” You won’t regret it😊❤

[@beckyspence9697]

Love seeing the kittens and the great progress with them and your decor so far looks great! I have mostly black cat themed decor for Halloween.❤

[@audreysmith4212]

I love those kitties so much. thank you for sharing. All our cats are indoor/outdoor (except for our foster kitten) and two are strictly outdoor (don't @ me) but they have access to shelter in extreme weather and have fresh water & food everyday. They THRIVE outside. I'm glad to hear you are feeling better and I love to see the Halloween decorations coming out! I'm also tying to decide what to keep stored away this year with a kitten running around but she's worth so I don't mind too much.

[@emilyretro]

Yesss! I’ve never had an outdoor only cat but I’m not going to make her life miserable by keeping her inside. Just give her food and shelter and they’re happy! Thanks for sharing ☺️

[@stacyt_1967]

Fun episode. So happy you are feeling better. I was so excited when you went through your box of books. In 1997, I came across an unusual copy of Nancy Drew... it had three stories in one book. I passed it up, and when I went back for it, it was gone. I have been searching for it ever since, except I could never find any trace or reference to it. No one had ever heard of it. But, I saw it in your box! I'm not crazy... it really exists! Thank you, Emily!!

[@emilyretro]

Yes it definitely does!!! It’s way thicker than any other Nancy drew. 😄

[@sharonmakowsky172]

Hi Emily! I used to have twin orange tabbies as they were kittens. They do get into mischief and that’s their way. Ours grew up and one ran away and the other one loved staying put. She was my baby (also her name). She was so mellow and loved me. I’m allergic to cats but lived with them for 7 yrs. I had to go on an inhaler while I had them. Glad you’re getting use to your kittens. Please take care and can’t wait for more videos! Your Michigan neighbor!🥰👍💜

[@emilyretro]

Omg the inhaler was a sacrifice worth making 🥹🥲❤️

[@kellycooper6641]

I love your decorations. The orange records make it for me. I'm so glad you're feeling better. ❤

[@emilyretro]

Thanks so much 🎃❤️

[@tammivintagewife]

Happy to see you smiling ❤

[@emilyretro]

Aw thanks ❤️

[@marieapple543]

I decorated for fall, Halloween (even some glow in the dark) a week ago.

[@emilyretro]

Oooooh that sounds super cool 😄

[@leanndoolin4284]

So good to see you and hear your updates. 🙂 The decorations look fantastic. And the kittens... ADORABLE! I lost my 20 yr old kitty June 1st and have been so sad until I received a call from a friend looking for a home for a tiny kitten. She was only approximately 4 weeks old.. I've had her two weeks now and she makes me so happy. She's black and I've named her Salem. I do need to get a friend for her though. 🙂

[@emilyretro]

AWWWWWW IM SO GLAD YOU HAVE A NEW KITTEN! Adopting a new cat always helps ease the grief! Yeah hopefully you can find a little friend 🥹

[@nicolebudgetanddecor2452]

I’m so happy for you. I feel like Rosie is going to become a cuddle bug eventually.

[@emilyretro]

She slept next to me last night 🥹😭😭😭

[@bonesareheavy]

Emily so glad to see you doing a little decorating. You are right about it being a sign of progress. I went through a tumultuous divorce 15 years ago. I had to move out of the house that I owned and loved to decorate because I couldn't afford it on my own. I remember having such depression in the first few months in the new apartment that I had a hard time even wanting to mop the kitchen floor. I slowly started decorating the apartment, first my son's room so he had a fun place to be. It started to all come together and the apartment helped me heal. I think your Fall-o-ween shelf looks so cute and I'm happy you are feeling better. I am kinda jonesing for you to do some upcycle craft videos after you mentioned them....especially if them are Halloween/Fall related! Summer can suck it.

[@emilyretro]

Thanks a bunch for sharing your story! Yeah I haven’t had the energy to do much either but it does get better! And thank you for your suggestions ☺️

[@bonniejordan3441]

Would love to see home projects, decor. ❤ your home is so charming

[@emilyretro]

Thank you for the suggestions! Home projects have slowed down but I’m hoping to get back at it soon 😄

[@50svintagelifestyle]

Love your shelf with the combo of Fall and Halloween Decorations 😊 Love the Kitties. I have a three year old Cat and she still wreaks havoc on stuff. Lol Was hoping she’d grow out of it but she hasn’t thus far.

[@emilyretro]

OH NO MY WORST FEAR 😭🤣🤣🤣

[@sarahb3606]

So lovely to see you feeing so much happier. Great video, thanks. I suppose I do love seeing any outdoor activities that you film but go with what you fancy doing as I'll be happy either way.

[@emilyretro]

Thanks a bunch for your input ☺️

[@marymogckmishmashmary]

Your fur babies are beautiful ❣️

[@emilyretro]

They sure are 🥲

Yessss me too!

[@Charlievintage2808]

Your house is looking so fantastic!!!!

[@emilyretro]

Aw thank you!! ❤️

[@MrMentorite]

i agree that autumn is too short hopefully those kittens will leave the decorations alone honeycomb decorations are hard to find

[@bostoncharm1]

I can tell you are feeling much better! The cats are SO cute and I can tell they make you so happy and they make your house feel more like a home. We have a 4 month old kitten named Isabel so I understand about the cats getting in to everything! I loved your Halloween shelf! You now have me in the decorating mood! Your outfit and earrings are SO adorable!! Thanks Emily! 😊

[@emilyretro]

Thank you so much and Isabel sounds adorable 🥹🥹🥹

[@AndrewJames66]

Do a video of you showing us all your Halloween blow mold, and all of your Christmas blow molds we are here for you.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@emilyretro]

I actually did both those videos last year 😄

[@VintageSoulThrifter]

Yay for Halloween decorating 🧡 So glad you’re making good progress with the kitties 🐈‍⬛

[@emilyretro]

Thank you me too! 🥹

[@kelleybrown9953]

Emily, thank you so much for sharing and the update. No one can be sad having crazy, goofy, silly baby kitties around!! They have come so far like you said. And I just LOVE your place and your outfit. So cheerful and uplifting!

Awww, you’re such a good person; taking care of little Blossom! And you have her kittens!!

Haha thanks ☺️

[@ritabush3324]

Pretty soon you will have two new snuggle buddies in you bed. Two of my cats sleep with me every night.

[@MariaLovesThis]

Such beautiful vista everywhere! The orchard, the beach! And that basket is oh so perfect for apples! So glad to see you smile.

[@emilyretro]

Thank you! ☺️❤️

[@gj6834]

Thank you so much for this video! You have such a genuine, calm nature and it makes your videos so pleasant to watch. It was great to see you feeling better and spending time with your friend! I love fall/Halloween and cats, so this video was wonderful!

[@emilyretro]

Awwwww thank you so much! 🥲❤️

[@ritabush3324]

I'm kinda going through that as I adopted 3 kittens that are now 6 months old and they are into everything along with my 9 grown cats.

[@annjohnson543]

I am so happy to hear that you, the kittens and Blossom are doing better!!! When I was a child we always had cats. They are so entertaining! Unfortunately my hubby is allergic, otherwise I would have one or two of them now. Love the decorating, Emily. Welcome to Fall. I am SO over summer.

[@emilyretro]

Thanks a bunch for caring! ❤️

[@dianalytle2816]

I truly enjoy your mint shelf decor. Your kittens are so stinkin' cute!! I think your fall/spooky season decorating videos are fun. Maybe a video of decorating your cute porch for the season would be fun and keep the kitten clips coming!

[@emilyretro]

Oh yes I have to work on that patio 😄

[@lisadrivanos5455]

They are so adorable 🥰 love that they have each other.. I enjoyed the decorations so fun.. ❤

[@emilyretro]

Thanks for watching ❤️❤️❤️

[@kmom452]

Aww I'm so glad your fur babies are settling in. I hope you get a lot of joy out of them. Love the Halloween decor and the apple orchard. ❤

[@emilyretro]

Thanks a bunch for watching ❤️

[@poodlegirl55]

I'm so glad you are doing better, you look adorable in that outfit. I love anything you want to video, but I love to sew and craft and would love a video in that vein. I don't decorate for Halloween but I love fall decor! I crochet and sew pumpkins every year.

[@emilyretro]

Thank you! I sewed the skirt out of a vintage sheet 😄 and thanks for the suggestions!

[@alwaysjoie309]

Love the video! I feel like so many people are team summer or fall, I am both too! I can still decorate for fall, bake pumpkin muffins AND fully enjoy every last second of summer. Also the kittens are so cute, and I love the names from White Christmas!

[@emilyretro]

Yessssss exactly! Enjoy both!!! ❤️

[@dianewilliams9729]

Cats are very interesting critters. I have seen some weave their way all around glass items and never touch a thing and then watched others purposely bat the objects to the floor. Hello to Grandma and Grandpa! Your bookcase looks happy, as do you!

[@emilyretro]

Hahaha yeah most of my cats ignore glass objects. But not Rosey 🤣🤣🤣

[@brennagreenglasspeacock]

So happy to hear you’re feeling a lot better! ❤ Nice to hear Blossom is doing well too & you’re taking good care of her babies. The orchard looks like an amazing place to be for all of you. I would love to see more outdoor content and decor. Not helpful but I’m here for whatever lol

[@emilyretro]

Haha wonderful, thank you! 😄

[@MrMentorite]

2 kittens are better than 1 twice the fun i had kittens years ago that would climb the drapes

[@kaylakae]

When I had kittens they broke everything they were so naughty! A lot of my vintage! 😢I had to find good homes for them cuz I couldn't take anymore heartache lol

[@clockworkshadows3226]

Such a fun video. The pumpkin patch looks amazing and very Halloween. Have fun decorating. I feel very inspired to decorate for different occasions thanks to you! Also good to hear things are a bit better. And the cats are very cute. 🐱🐾

[@emilyretro]

Oh yay, have fun decorating!! 🎃

​@@emilyretroI love your Halloween decorating videos in particular. I live in Australia and whilst Halloween isn't as big here, I really do love it. I hope you have fun decorating your house!

[@claudiaehmann9338]

Your cats are so cute! Is Rosy a birman cat? My cat Aurora is. She is 4 years old and in this moment (I'm laying in bed) she lays on my hip!

[@emilyretro]

No clue what she is! I’m taking her to the vet in a month or so and hopefully I’ll find out ☺️

[@MariaLovesThis]

Emily, what do you use to shine your yellow island counter? Is it a vintage surface?

[@emilyretro]

I just use regular all purpose cleaner. I got the island at a thrift store! I think they painted it with a glossy paint and that’s why it’s shiny ☺️

[@barbarab1001]

How I long for fall In the Netherlands we are at the start of a heatwave that will last a week can you believe it. I long for rain and autumn

[@emilyretro]

We had awful heat here too and it finally broke today. Hope it cools off for you soon!!!

[@debranielsen2002]

So you think the cats will be more mature next year and not destroy things? 😂😂😂😂😂

[@emilyretro]

I think I must be used to senior cats and this is a shock 🤣

[@magiccitymama1620]

I have actually had many kittens that settled down after a year and didn't deliberately tear up things. I'm not sure about these last two we have. I hope we'll be able to keep the Christmas tree up this year. 😔 Last year was a bummer of a holiday.

[@emilyretro]

@@magiccitymama1620the Christmas tree is also a big concern for me 😭🤣

[@magiccitymama1620]

[@MariaM-yn9tl]

Wow you really made some significant progress petting the kittens. So happy they make you happy. Just what you needed at this time in your life. Love your decorated shelves. I decorate my dollhouses for Halloween. Cheers to Fall. Mariaknits27 💃🏻💕🧵🧶🏠📚
