    OK I was not expecting that, that was wild 😂 We need The Candle Enthusiast ASMR: Dining Edition. I would happily fall asleep to you asking if anything on the menu strikes my fancy. Lol. And I wasn't prepared for the swimming that was too funny. Thanks for the entertaining video!

    You're right, Shane, "It never gets old." Your Red Lion Inn videos are some of my favorite videos that you have made. I love the New England "feels", the history, a good mantle and the humor. I didn't want this video to end! Thank you!

      Madeline, thank you so much for this! Really. It's always a bit scary editing such a long piece; I always fear losing everyone's attention. Your comment was very rewarding for me to read. Thanks again!

    As a young woman, I lived on the 2nd floor of the Seven Arts Antiques. A very dear woman by the name of Harriet Sossner owned the building: she became a mother
    figure to me, she was so beloved by everyone in town. I had many cherished friends there…..oh the amazing stories to tell, many years ago…

    Such a great video. Took me back to our trip in 2018 we did, because your first video inspired us to go. My favorite of all times: dinner with the guy in the robe. Cracks me up everytime.
    So sad to hear the Yankee Candle Store is gone and so thankful we visited before.

    • @TheCandleEnthusiast
      @TheCandleEnthusiast  2 года назад +1

      Thanks so much Claudine! Yes, that original Stockbridge video has always been one of my favorite. That's why I couldn't pass up on the opportunity to make a follow up video. Visiting is always such a charming experience. And I'm so honored to know that I inspired you guys to go. Thanks for your continued kindness and friendship!

      Jordan, thanks so much for the kind words here. It's always challenging editing such long pieces; I fear losing everyones attention. Yes, I was solo for this one, just like always. Just me and my tripod. Thanks again!

    • @TheCandleEnthusiast
      @TheCandleEnthusiast  2 года назад +2

      I know, right?! I've been trying to get into that studio space for years, and I just so happened to get very lucky on this particular trip. I was able to get ahold of the owner and they graciously allowed me the time to visit and film. Very sad about Yankee though. I have to say, Main Street just doesn't feel the same without it. Thanks for watching and commenting, Ann! Hope you're well.

    Your tribute to the Yankee store experience was really nice… I was visiting Lenox and Stockbridge last Tuesday and had some amazing blueberry pancakes in that cafe! I didn’t realize Norman Rockwell’s studio was just above. Great to “visit” again with you!

    This was a fun trip....Santa is rubbing off on you...In a few more years, your beard may be the same color as his.....I thought you were bringing in Luminara candles to put into the fireplace....What a surprise to see the town buildings....I was watching over your shoulder as you were talking about the food on the menu....Waiting for the robed man to appear again....lol...I love gin too....I actually like trading out the vodka in a Moscow Mule with Gin...So much more flavor....You need to try Q spectacular Ginger Beer and Gin...There is a kick in that Ginger Beer from chili pepper, coriander and cardamom....Just don't inhale as the bubbles pop from pouring or you may have a coughing fit but once it settles it is so delicious...You took the polar plunge?! What a crazy man...LOL Is that proper pool attire???You need to come to Bemidji and jump in the lake when they do it here....Thanks for sharing your experience....I have missed them so much.

      @TheCandleEnthusiast  2 года назад +1

      Thanks, Pat! Yeah, I wish I had had the foresight to include Rockwell's studio on the museum property. I promise to document that one of these days (I'm due for a visit at the museum anyway). And yes, it was incredible to visit the old studio on Main Street. I had been wanting the chance to do that for years. I really lucked out on this trip; I was able to get ahold of the owner of the building. they graciously let me have plenty of time to visit and to film. Last I heard, the space has become available on AirB&B. I may have to do that one of these days. Thanks again for watching and commenting, Pat!
