Those are for kerosene lamps! They became very popular Victorian era, those have an Eastlake look to them! How funny the way that set came together!
Ours came from an old schoolhouse my parents purchased. Most old buildings used this type of lighting prior to being electrified. You can find the glass kerosene lamps in addition to the wicks & chimneys in Amish stores and similar stores.
My Grandma used to put plants in those....
Your videos bring me so much peace and happiness! What a joy it must be to have a treasure garden in your yard, just waiting to be dug up and discovered. I love that even scraps of paper have value to you. Your love of preservation is inspiring.
Thank you Nicole!
My daughter studied the restoration of artefacts at Lincoln University in England. I see and note your reverence in your hands.
Honestly, the story of your bracket and light holders is absolutely amazing! God sure did give you a big wink with that find!
Linda, wow all the treasures. Take the round wheel iron and use it in landscaping.
I put a sundial in the center of one and then filled with old bricks. Also on the night seat springs. Just add a wood seat bottom and back, would look great in your garden. You are preserving more pieces of Sugarwood!
Great idea!
I just had my weekly dose of calm and serenity...
I'm so glad!!!!
That is an amazing find! I would dig in the garbage too.
Can’t believe the serendipity of finding all three pieces of wrought iron!! You have such a lovely garden and home.
The small colored jars are magnificent!! What a find. Those are the type of things I love to search for at a flea market. Thank you for sharing 😊💕
Always a treat to go walking and gardening with you! Thanks for sharing
That is so cool to find all those old things the bottles are amazing what a fun treasure hunt would love to see more !!!
It’s Amazing you found the missing pieces for the bracket, truly amazing! Digging for treasures is right down my alley and you’ve found some great pieces. I treasure hunt our family farm/property every chance I get. It’s two hours away from where I live but my sisters and I still own the farmhouse that is filled with beautiful family memories as well as furniture, childhood toys, etc. We recently had a new roof put on to protect it for years to come.
Thank you! Another great video. I like looking at your "dig" piles and imagining what and when things were in use! Willow is still a great director of your videos. She needs a big hug!
Thank you Linda. As lovely as ever. The joy is in the attending to. Not in the completion of. May you continue to share with us. Thanking you. All love.
OMG Linda, I am so glad you saved cast-iron piece, I have never seen a double hanger. Wow are you a lucky girl. I just had so much fun as you took us thru the woods to your digging spot's. I think your displays of your finds are wonderful.
You have a beautiful property and it’s fun to see the treasures that it yields! ❤️
I enjoyed seeing your finds and pie was beautiful.
You know, digging for treasure is like a form of shopping for free! Leaves you feeling satisfied and accomplished!
What a treasure trove of items on your property. I am a midwesterner who lived in MA years ago and loved the area so much. I purchased 2 candle holders, very similar to yours, at a yard sale. I have dragged them out to use in the outdoor space as a plant display. Enjoy your videos from inside decor, outside garden, sightseeing to cooking…so varied. I call them nylons. Thank you for your channel.
Omgosh Linda... the vintage Gods shinned upon you with your wall finds. What are the odds? Love it. 🙏🏼👍🏻❤️
Love going through your garden and land. Especially love the archeological dig and all the artifacts you’re finding!!
CRAZY!! I love it!! I can't believe you had the bracket!
I'm absolutely in love with your channel, and your attitude towards life and decorating!! My husband and I have been binge watching and I am so INSPIRED for Fall decor!!
The dump site is awesome, can't wait to see what you continue to find. Your plant holder is really amazing. ❤❤❤
Oh I must say I would be right there beside you and your daughter at your "dig". How fascinating to find those treasures. I find it amazing that those items weren't valuable to the previous owner. Everything had a purpose back in those days and I remember my mom telling me that nothing was ever thrown away!!
So yes I would definitely find a future video very much appreciated. Thanks Linda someday I hope to make it to the New England states. Its been on my bucket list FOREVER.
I love a treasure hunt! That property was meant for you and your family! Happy hunting 💞
I love watching all your videos. I throughly enjoy your garden one’s. I’ve been using your philosophy of the elephant in my home. I have so much to organize, purge & get rid of. Thank you 💕
1. OMG the brackets and the candleholders!!! Come'on how crazy is that! 2. My mother called them stockings - my generations called them nylons (because there was not a panty attached), then they were pantyhose - now no one under 50 wears them!! Go figure. 3. Bittersweet is illegal to pick in Michigan (unless you are lucky enough to have it growing on your own property). I love to cut it and use it for fall decor. 4. Glad you are recovering well from surgery. Your new property is wonderful. I have 140 acres in Mid-Michigan (10 acres of woods) that I love to stroll through. 5. I love the 'finds' from ages past that are buried or hidden in the attic eaves (mine are from my great-great grandparents that bought this farm. You and I are truly blessed!
I really enjoy all the treasure you find digging.
Your voice is so relaxing it calms me to sleep. Thank you 😊
Linda, I actually have a single version of your bracket on my porch. I have an old kerosene lamp in mine and have seen them used the same way in antique stores.
What a series of events that ended up with you finding the pieces of the bracket!! Not only did you find them in two different locations but the one you threw in the garbage you were lucky that it hadn't gone to the landfill !!!
Lot's of beautiful garden stops to enjoy 😊🍁

It was as though the “ house “ wanted them back . I don’t believe in coincidences 😉
@@d.l.n.7133 meant to be!!😉
You are so fortunate to have those old dumps to find treasure!
Wow! Your find is pretty freaky!!
I Love, that you found a unicorn piece of pottery on the Unicorn Home property! Also, finding of the lamp holders with the hanging bracket at home, how a Amazing !!! I Love Confirmations!
finding those matching items gives me goosebumps....
What an amazing serendipitous event with the double scones and the bracket!
I love seeing your finds in the woods. You have so many lovely garden areas and all of the rockery.
Oh my goodness! I love this discovery of the bracket and lamp holders! God is good! I cringed when you said you threw it away!!! Lol
I love finding buried things. I was digging along the shoreline at my husband's family lake place and found ink wells, old spoons, and an old medicine bottle. I still have them--good memories of happier times.
The shoe form is called a last.
You have a lot of acreage to explore and make productive. What fun!
Thank you! I grew up with a full cobbler shop on our property and I never knew what they were called. As a child I just thought it was cool and could care less about the name of it 🤣
Love the video!!! When I was a child I dug a giant hole in our backyard. I found a rusted horseshoe. I was so excited and my dad hung it in our shed. It was a great surprise because it was found in Queens, NYC.
That was fascinating, Linda. It was meant to be. I wonder how many of us have 'buried treasure' on our property. Thank you for another enjoyable, informative video.🤗🌞👏💛
You have an entire museum of history right in your own back yard! I can picture a large glass vase in your home with the broken chards of glass from your back yard. That would be so pretty with the sunlight catching the broken glass! Also, I've seen some woodland gardens where they take the fallen trees and line the paths in the woods. It looks so pretty and allows visitors to walk through the paths, enjoying nature. I can also envision vignettes of your found treasures along the pathways, such as the wheels. I love the blue glass bottles you found! How cool that your daughter is using the treasures to make jewelry. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the hidden treasures!!
So AWESOME that you've found so many things, many of which are intact.
Jordan Marsh Blueberry Muffins........!
When I was a young girl, growing up in Boston, my mother would take us down to Downtown Crossing where Jordan Marsh and Filene’s had their stores. We would shop for hours, and our reward was always a trip to the Jordan Marsh cafe, for blueberry muffins. Such a flood of memories upon your mention of them.
Also.....blown away by the coincidence (?) of your wall sconce find. That is nuts!
What a beautiful lamp. I used to have bags of all kinds of handles knobs and hinges I carried around for years. Finally had to declutter with the last move. Good that you still had the piece. One of life’s little surprises. I love when things like that happen from going to yard sales. I absolutely love yard sales. Your property is so lovely. That digging is finding some wonderful little finds. God Bless.
It would be so much fun to dig and find treasures. I dont blame your daughter. They would be alot lost. The pieces you share now are great
What a beautiful piece of property! It reminds me of my grandparents, I loved looking for treasures! You have many great finds & I’m anxious to see more to come!
Thanks for sharing your wonderful garden! God’s country !👍
Such a delightful video! I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of it. Thank for all the time and energy you put into creating these for us😊
Wow! That is a gorgeous fixture. You are a master of the Law of Attraction 😊
Linda, looks like your kindred spirits keep helping you. Finding the plant holders for the hinge! Love all your finds, but that entirely visible unicorn is such a sign of confirmation!
I love seeing your finds from the dump sites.
Yes! I want to see everything you find and pull out of the ground! My mom has irons like the one you found and lots of bottles..etc. treasure hunts are where it’s at!😊. You can learn so much about your property and/or buildings that might have been there long ago. What a fun excavation you have in your future!
It's kismet that you found those iron pieces! What a great find. My family had one of those property "dumps". We kids always loved digging through it.
Amazing that you found the bracket then the lamp holders. Please share more video of the treasures you've found in the woods. I love old bottles and you've found some beauties.❤
How fun to go treasure hunting on your property’s dump sites. I love the treasures that you’ve found. I have a 1920 cottage in upstate New York. In the shed we found a 1943 toy truck, some old baseball bats(not valuable), and a lovely detailed back plate for an iron door knob. We also have some old ceramic insulators. My treasures from a life gone by in my little cottage😍
Please continue to show your “dump finds” . So interesting!
Ooooo! great intro view ! And the bracket…..what a FUN find!
Wonderful garden and yard tour. Yes, I want to see everything you find. Love watching the progress
Love seeing the treasures you have found and certainly want to see more!!!!
Great video as usual ! Linda make some shadow boxes for your relic finds out of barn board to hang on trees in the forest and barns walls . You found some really neat things ! Good for you ! Years ago we found some dumping sites on the edge of gullies and found an antique doll . Amazed at the condition after all those years . My sister still has it .
Great idea!! My daughter is always on the hunt for marbles and toys. As for toys, all I have found is a plastic fence from a playskool item LOL
That’s quite a story about those pieces that you found …quite serendipitous …and I’m glad that you got to the trash before it got taken to the dump! Quite a lovely tour of your woods and gardens …our gardens are doing fine but boy oh boy… is it a struggle to keep the weeds and invasive plants at bay! The summer is rushing by!🌹
Looks like there’s a gold mine of artifacts on your property! Would love to see your finding’s. Love watching your videos. So relaxing. In fact that’s what I’m doing right now. Chilling by the pool OR should I say baking by the pool. It’s 87 right now but we hav chance of thunderstorms later this afternoon. See you next time my friend.
I love all the bottles you’re finding-they’re so pretty. It was so much fun walking in the woods with you and seeing Willow. I’m really looking forward to seeing the video montage you’ll be making!
It's like going on a Treasure Hunt.
Amazing how you found pieces of the bracket.
I especially love seeing the beautiful bottles and broken pieces of glass and pottery.
I'm sure your daughter will be making some beautiful jewelry with them.
Enjoy your day! Cheers!
Love all the pieces of history you're finding in the dumps. Hope you'll share more finds, and perhaps your cleaning methods for dug glass & bottles.
This was a fun video. You certainly have accomplished a lot in the 10 months you’ve been in your new house and I think it is all coming together very nicely. How many acres did you acquire. One day, when you’ve collected all the interesting items from your two dumps, I hope to watch your videos of them.😉😊
Yes, please show all your finds!
Such a fun video. It was so interesting to see what different treasures you found on your property that were part of history. Thank you.
I love your lemon herb garden! I just planted lemon verbena for the millionth time. I keep losing it as it dies back in winter and then I forget where it is planted. I also planted lemon balm which thrives like a weed and is a great tea for relaxation and sleep. I imagine the land you are on feels alive with the spirits of all who have made Sugarwood their home down the the past few centuries.
It certainly does feel alive with the spirits! Love it
Linda, you are going to need a metal fence with an electric fence on it if you want to keep the bear or deer out of your beautiful berries. Your place is so pretty. Your guys have made so much progress in a short time.
Those are some great finds. More digging please!!!!
What fun to find all those wonderful treasures! Love to see what you dig up! And what a find when you threw the bracket out and find the rest of it at a yard sale, it was meant to be!!!
Linda, just love your piece of heaven.
We remodeled an old farmhouse on 5 acres and my husband found so many neat items along the old stone walls. My favorite is an old metal hanging pot that was used in the fireplace. I planted some pretty petunias in it and it sits proudly on my patio😉
Linda, I love the music that's starts playing when you first show the blueberry bushes--what is that? And yes, we are interested in what you dig up on your property. Maybe some of it will end up in your new store?!
That is incredible! Love your intro story. What a charming place you live.
Wow - it is amazing what you can find in your woods!
What a lovely tour of your gardens! Thanks!
Wow! Synchronicity! Amazing on the bracket
I have the almost 150+ year old lamp that fits in one. It has cut glass bowl. So dainty compared to other oil lamps. My grandma said it was old when she got it. She was born in 1901.
Fabulous find on your bracket and kerosene lamp holders. I have several. Some belonging to my great Grandmother. They are all in use with antique kerosene lamps in them. I have a little tin that I keep spare brackets in when I come across them. Fabulous video as always. 💜💜💜
Wow Linda that is amazing. Dehydration can also make you feel fatigue.
Fascinating, and so very interesting. Thank you, kindly, for taking us on your journey.
My pleasure!
Definitely interested in seeing more of your treasures from the dump.
I really enjoyed seeing what you dug out of the trash dump. I would love to see everything you got. The inkwells are my favorite especially the turquoise one.
Yes it was meant to be! I love it!
Love Jordan marsh blueberrie muffins
That was exciting finding a piece that ended up with that planter
Crazy , right
Beautiful grounds
I love your idea on a separate garden for all sorts of lemon plants...I will definitely do that next year
Ha! Love it. I found the top of an old glass compote dish 5 years after I bought the dish!
So very interested in ALL your dump finds!!!! I also look forward to the second half of your story on the history of Sugarwood. Best wishes and God bless you and yours!!! Patrivia
Our house was built on plantation land here in Jonesboro, Georgia. I have found an old plow wheel, ax blade and several more items. Yes it’s fun to see what you dig.
I love the cobalt blue bottles. What treasure piles to explore!
Not everyone can grow ferns, which are particular about soil, shade & sun. Japanese beetles will predate some varieties but not others. Most will spread, but some can be invasive. I planted 3 ostrich ferns and within 10 years had hundreds! I finally had to set some boundaries! Lol
Willow blends in with the woods!
I'll pass on the coffee but I'll take the pot!😊 So much fun!
Love seeing your dug up finds
Great find! Your gardens and home are really coming together so nicely. Sure is taking a lot of work on your part and Ben's to get it to this point. So glad you both enjoy the process and the results
Those are for oil lamps. We had at least two in my childhood home. One had a concave silver reflector on the back as well, to project light.
How absolutely magical and beautiful!!! Forget about going somewhere on vacation you Ben and your daughter are on a fantastic adventure without leaving your home 🏠. I love going along with you 🙂thank you so very much for sharing your world with us 🙏🏻.
What a wonderful find love looking for all your treasures 😊
Finding the missing bracket....amazing!!! I loved walking with you in the woods. I grew up practically living in the woods around my parent's house. It instilled in me a deep love and appreciation for nature. Also, I appreciate your music selections. Perfect choices for your calming videos.
What an amazing find! I can't wait to see what you do with it. Your property & home are georgous & it's fun watching how you are transforming to make it yours. I love old things & New England history. I always dreamed of having an old house one day but the years have flown by. I would love to explore your dump areas so yes please show us new finds. Linda you are a charming & elegant lady, an old soul and we've lost that. I appreciate your blog to reminisce about things past. People today don't even know how to set a proper table, it's becoming a lost art. Stay just the way you are. Give Willow a kiss for me, she's adorable.
