Shopping is a joy of life. Do not refrain it. However stingy we are, we end up more than we need over the years. You are not alone. The tough think is when and how to get rid of the extras. Make peace with whatever habit you have. I may do a blablabla about it.
My grandson discovered you and now I'm also a fan. You are the nicest, sweetest, most creative person I've ever seen. You are extremely inspirational. Thank you for sharing all of yourself with the world. What a gift you are!
hello, its currently 2:30 am where im from and im sitting here watching your video in 2017. im 16 and have begun my own spoon collection within the last few months. you just touched my heart and my eyes with this video. you seem so disappointed in your own story, claiming it to not be one at all, but it is and i loved listening to it. i adore your wisdom and your spoons, i wish i could see your collection now. i hope you are well and still holding onto that optimistic attitude. i just wanted to watch a spoon collection video and i feel like i got so much more than expected. good wishes to you, love val :)
You may be stingey with money...but you are generous in spirit. Your gift is your sharing, your calm voice, your gracious art. I love your art: it emphasizes process (the act of creation), not the product at the end. Thank you so much.
So I just discovered you tonight. I watched your sweet love tea video, saw your spoon box, and became very interested in the spoons. So I searched RUclips for teaspoon collection videos... and it brought me back to you, going through your spoons!! I am so happy. 🖤
I see this video was made quite a while ago. But I just now bumped in to it and, HAD to comment. There is something so endearing, compelling, humble, selfless, and extremely appreciative about this video Haiying... I can't imagine one single person (of substance) being in the slightest bit disappointed by it. It is not often you come across individuals that don't take for granted what they have, and genuinely believe they are not deserving of frivolous, or lavish things. My personal opinion is it may have something to do with having a humble background, or upbringing, and growing up in a poor country (in my case, Cuba, one Communist place indeed. Not implying you grew up surrounded by poverty) where people are "lucky" if they have a plate of food each day, and a pair of "functional" shoes... This gives you the privilege (yes, I see it as a privilege) of seeing beauty in the simplest things, finding joy, and that much more appreciation for what you do get to have. Oh, and of course :) beauuuutiful collection of spoons Haiying :) Hugs, Jane. (apologies for the long message)
Some folks collect stories. Some collect tears. You collect spoons.... or maybe spoons collect you, our dear hostess? You will always have enough, and I think that is your blessing. These spoons are many.... they ensure you will always have enough.
Being stingy is a good thing sometimes. Like you I don't buy expensive things. I like small simple gifts but never ask for them either. You don't disappoint. Thank you for your videos.
Please have your spoon box in every video! And your opening line of “Hello friends, let’s have a cup of tea”. Omg I love your videos. I literally watch them every night.
Hi Haiyong. I went shopping today & was going to buy something that I didn't need but, wanted & I remembered what you said about buying things that you need instead of what you want & it worked . I put that thing back. Thank you Haiying.
I have come back to see this video again because I love your little box and your spoons of coarse you know I love the orange one the most! I hope you got one in Paris this time around
Great video! I'm feeling drowsy as I am into asmr. I appreciate your time and effort. Thank you! I want to add that in the last video I commented and was going to suggest you doing some asmr videos. Then I found this one. You are a treasure.
I watch ASMR every night, and I’ve been loving so many ASMRtists a lot, but I came across your channel when I looked up “underrated asmrtists” you were in the article I read and youre now my favorite 💖💖
I collect tea cups and saucers, but most I have inherited from family. I will buy one very rarely at a flea market or estate sale. A few also from travels. My Father refinished a pretty cabinet for me to display them. I feel guilty if I buy things for myself.
What an awesome little “act of love” beautiful and something Dear to You and Your Husband✨ Thank you for “Sharing Your Sweet Collection” My Dear Friend 🌺
The little blue one is my favorite. I look for it in every one of your tea videos. I can't really explain why it's my favorite. Something about the color, perhaps? It is cool, and blue, and has a little transparency to it. And maybe it's the value that it gives to the others-- it (along with it's orange buddy), being ceramic, gives a very nice uniqueness to the sound, when the spoons clank together, more than would be if they were all just metal. And then with the wooden sound of the box and those darling little fish!-- your spoon box is one of the favorite things about my day! I look forward to watching your videos before I go to bed every night! Thank you for your videos!
Thank you for showing us your collection of spoons,you have some beautiful ones.Could you please spell out the names of some of the shops in Paris,My french is very bad.Your husband must be a very kind man..you pray to get your spoons but I also think that you must drop some big hints too...lol!!
This is exactly how my mom was when she was retired, talking seemingly nonsense things whilest telling a story. She is gone now, but this gives me the same feeling...
Thank you for showing us your collection of spoons,you have some beautiful ones.Could you please spell out the names of some of the shops in Paris,My french is very bad.
I love your spoon collection. Have you been to any thrift shops. I find some really unique things there. I was expecting you to say "HELLO" when you showed the one with the smiley face on it, like you do with your grinders. I am not disappointed that you didn't have a story. You said a lot about the spoons & about yourself whether you know it or not.
I wish I could just buy what I'd use instead of what I want because I like it, I'd be able to save my money better if I shopped like you do. My husband would be happier too.
They love u very much and listen to u when u say u love something and then buy it for u. I’m the opposite of u, I buy what I want and need and never give anyone a chance to buy anything for me. I also buy for others but I feel guilty to accept a gift, so I buy it myself.

You kept saying “sorry to disappoint you” during this video but I couldn’t have loved it more. ❤️
Almost 10 years and this video looks like it came out yesterday. That’s quality content and a beautiful spirit for you. 🥺😩
My grandson discovered you and now I'm also a fan. You are the nicest, sweetest, most creative person I've ever seen. You are extremely inspirational. Thank you for sharing all of yourself with the world. What a gift you are!
Thanks for another heartfelt video with a beautiful story and sentiment.
I did not buy from thrift shop. I rarely buy spoons to avoid have too many things.
I like how genuine you are. You teach others that they can be genuinely beautiful as well.

That story wasn't disappointing at all! It was very romantic and I enjoyed it greatly. Thank you for sharing.
You said there was no story... 14 minutes later I am left blown away by your story.💕
You may be stingey with money...but you are generous in spirit. Your gift is your sharing, your calm voice, your gracious art. I love your art: it emphasizes process (the act of creation), not the product at the end. Thank you so much.
ive been watching asmr videos for ages and only just now found your channel, i wish i had found it a long time ago. really cool videos :)
Pretty collection, my favorite is the spoon with the heart
So I just discovered you tonight. I watched your sweet love tea video, saw your spoon box, and became very interested in the spoons. So I searched RUclips for teaspoon collection videos... and it brought me back to you, going through your spoons!! I am so happy. 🖤
Oh, the good old spoons!
i could listen to this story many, many times. Oh--I already have and will continue to do so! I love the Story of The Spoons
I really want to start collecting cute spoons now.
Beautiful life filosophy 🙏 Thank you for insight
your husband sounds like a sweat man, comming home to you with five or so spoons :) would you call these spoons 'love spoons' ?
Still love the this video after all these years!

Thank you for speaking my heart. Our humble past is our privilege. Having less allows us to enjoy more.
Indeed, I wouldn't have it any other way, and I can tell neither would you. We are very fortunate ;)
Not disappointing, that's so sweet your husband brings them to you. You deserve pretty things that make you smile ❤️
Some folks collect stories. Some collect tears. You collect spoons.... or maybe spoons collect you, our dear hostess? You will always have enough, and I think that is your blessing. These spoons are many.... they ensure you will always have enough.
My darling friend, you never disappoint love you you have a wonderful spirit god bless you always.
I never thought I liked spoons or forks but I like yours. They are delicate but solid and with beautiful stylish details.
You’re just talking about spoons but honestly I’m hooked to this story haha ❤️
Being stingy is a good thing sometimes. Like you I don't buy expensive things. I like small simple gifts but never ask for them either. You don't disappoint. Thank you for your videos.
Thank you for the not-so-short version. Sure made my day. : )
I really need to adopt a lot of your philosophies. You make a whole lot of sense. Thank you for sharing all your wisdom with us..
Please have your spoon box in every video! And your opening line of “Hello friends, let’s have a cup of tea”. Omg I love your videos. I literally watch them every night.
One coming in 20 minutes
Hi Haiyong. I went shopping today & was going to buy something that I didn't need but, wanted & I remembered what you said about buying things that you need instead of what you want & it worked . I put that thing back. Thank you Haiying.
Totally enjoyed the story! Lovely spoons! You deserve every one of them, and many more to come!
I have come back to see this video again because I love your little box and your spoons
of coarse you know I love the orange one the most!
I hope you got one in Paris this time around
my gosh, what a BEAUTIFUL way to look at things! I am soooo glad I'm sub'd to your channel, and watched this video.
You're voice is so peaceful and makes me relax. I collect antique spoons too.
"he travels all the time. he has a freakin' flyer or something" :D awesome.
Great video! I'm feeling drowsy as I am into asmr. I appreciate your time and effort. Thank you! I want to add that in the last video I commented and was going to suggest you doing some asmr videos. Then I found this one. You are a treasure.
That was a beautiful video. All your wonderful videos make me stop and take a step back from my busy life. Thank you very much!
I watch ASMR every night, and I’ve been loving so many ASMRtists a lot, but I came across your channel when I looked up “underrated asmrtists” you were in the article I read and youre now my favorite 💖💖
That's some interesting. I didn't know I have that honor, hahah
Hey, I like your story AND your philosophy! :)
Good evening ! Can you make another spoon video? I love this noise of them! ❤️👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
Yessiey Macias ME TOO!
your voice to my ear is like velvet on the skin soft
What a wonderful story and a lovely video. You are a treasure, Pray, and Love!
I collect tea cups and saucers, but most I have inherited from family. I will buy one very rarely at a flea market or estate sale. A few also from travels. My Father refinished a pretty cabinet for me to display them. I feel guilty if I buy things for myself.
Me too, I am a stingy shopper. I'm so bad at spending money, I have to force myself to buy presents for my friends.
That's a really pretty collection of spoons
6:13 that spoon there is my favourite. It looks French.
I love your channel :) I just found it and this is so cute and good
What a wonderful video. Thank you for inspiring me everyday, Haiying. You NEVER disappoint me.
thank you so much for this video, your wisdom is priceless ❤️
What an awesome little “act of love” beautiful and something Dear to You and Your Husband✨ Thank you for “Sharing Your Sweet Collection” My Dear Friend 🌺
@indigolady52 and may other tins, large and small.
Thank you so much for sharing about your spoon collection. : )
I love this video!!!!
I love Collection of any kind! I have a few of them myself

This makes me so happy. I sure will use the blue spoon on behalf of you.
+yanghaiying Haha, thank you! Even if it doesn't get chosen ("Pick me! Pick me!"), I just get joy from seeing it and hearing it! 😊
I am writing down "blue spoon" on my post-it. I make sure I use it the next video.
+yanghaiying Yea! I'll watch for it!
daisylover80 Finally found the comment where someone asked for the blue spoon!
your french pronunciation is excellent! your voice is beautiful in many languages.
@indigolady52 The tin is a similar story.
Thank you for showing us your collection of spoons,you have some beautiful ones.Could you please spell out the names of some of the shops in Paris,My french is very bad.Your husband must be a very kind man..you pray to get your spoons but I also think that you must drop some big hints too...lol!!
Aww, don't feel dumb! It was late at night and hey, different accents can be tough.
The spoon at 5:22 says Abco Qantas. I looked online and it is from Qantas airlines.
This is exactly how my mom was when she was retired, talking seemingly nonsense things whilest telling a story. She is gone now, but this gives me the same feeling...

some of these remind me of a tea ring I used to have
You deserve all the spoons in the world! Dont understate your value!
how many people can make a video about spoons and have us this intrested in the video..? thank you so much for making it
I wish I could just buy what I'd use instead of what I want because I like it, I'd be able to save my money better if I shopped like you do. My husband would be happier too.
I also like the kind of snake shaped one
Ha! I think that might be "frequent" flyer, but it would be hilarious to hear her say "freakin'"!
have you any newbridge silverwear? thats made in the same town i live in :)
many
I'll take the spoons if you want to get rid of them. ha ha. I love your spoons.
I like the one at 6:04 the one with the smile.
i like the spoon with the smiley face :D
I can see a fork 🍴
what is the name of the spoon shop in paris?
Always Enjoy!!
i like your positivity (sorry for my bad english)
They love u very much and listen to u when u say u love something and then buy it for u. I’m the opposite of u, I buy what I want and need and never give anyone a chance to buy anything for me. I also buy for others but I feel guilty to accept a gift, so I buy it myself.
Thank you! :)
@gnazkull yeah well said!!
wonderful story :)
thank you :) loved it
thanks!
The google subtitles are way of on this its kind of funny.
Eat pray love is a film. With something like that title. Haha
🥰
Yay spoon box
Wise
Why don't you write a children's story about your spoon collection? Let them talk to each other.
You become enamored.
I wish that I could be more stingy & not buy a lot of stuff that I don't need instead of what I do
Interersting
Paris ain't so pretty anymore!!!
Dangerous and violent, stay away for your safety please.
Be well.
