    This video was beautiful! For those that will never get to visit the charming towns and shops you visit, it would be lovely if you could voice over a little history of the towns, shops etc. Happy New Year! Im glad you are feeling better.

    What an enjoyable video while sipping some coffee! ♥ Not sure how it's possible through a screen to "feel" the warmth and Christmas spirit of your home but it comes across. It must smell amazing with all your activities. Wishing your family serene, joyful and happy holidays.

    Linda: this is a "visual" comment. I bought the same little tree in your dining room. I took 1 strand of clear warm white incandescent (because I like the glow better) and one set of twinkle lights (both 100 per set each) and put them on the tree. I used plug in but anyone can use battery timer lights as well. Then I plugged into smart plug (Govee). Then I added Kurt Adler glass icicle ornaments all over it! OMG...it looks beautiful. I have a GIANT light green (uranium) fish bowl glass 1920's Cambridge glass bowl that I put the base in for stability (like you) and added red ornaments to the inside of the bowl. I'll switch out to Blue after Christmas. Thank you for inspiring me to think outside the box! The Pineapple mold looks perfect! You are the BEST!

    Good morning to my kindred spirit!! Linda, that kissing ball has inspired me to make one!! Not only is it beautiful, but it adds such an organic look to any room!! I agree with you that sitting and creating such lovely pieces is indeed cathartic!! sipping on a lovely cup of tea or coffee and making such pretty things is one that I can relate to as well. I always enjoy hearing your sweet voice and seeing how you transform your beautiful home for Christmas!!!

    Linda, that felt pad hint is brilliant! I’m using that in my cutlery drawer to stop it from sliding to the back! 👏 Also I couldn’t believe it when I saw the little Mouse Family in a Measuring Cup ornament on your Fairy 🧚‍♀️ Tree! I have the very same one, I took it off to look for a date but could find one. It’s one of my favourites! 🇨🇦🎄👏

    • @newenglandfineliving
      @newenglandfineliving  Месяц назад +1

      The mouse in the cup, I think is late 80's and if I'm not mistaken it might be from Avon.

      Hi Linda! Late 80’s makes sense, but I don’t remember getting any Avon ornament. . But maybe it was a little gift from someone! But at any rate, I love it and my eye is always drawn to it on my tree! 🇨🇦🎄

Your videos inspire me to slow down, notice nature, think outside the box and be creative. I especially love when you take us around New England- Amherst, NH was so pretty 😱- that first tree - I cannot imagine the time it took to wrap each branch!! Stunning! Your fairy tree was such a delight!!Thank you for letting us join you in these videos!💕

    Hi Linda ..I am glad to hear you're trying to slow it down because I have done the same myself this year.... even though my house is decorated to the hilt, I have tried to be very mindful and kind of slow things down a bit.... and I've really enjoyed the holiday so far. I always get such a kick out of watching Willow run and roll around in the snow! Your house looks so pretty and festive with all of your beautiful decor ...and it certainly is a New England Christmas at your house, as always! I'm going to make some oven dried oranges this week and hang them on the tree, and the I think my Christmas decorating is done! Until next time.....☃☃

This was such an enjoyable video because you gave us a view of the Christmassiness (not a real word) of your home. Thank you, Linda.
