My Valentine and I have been together for 35 years. This year he was diagnosed with cancer. He always gave me cards and gifts for Valentines days. This year he can not get out and shop. He did ask me to buy what I wanted. I just want him well.
I'm so sorry to hear this💔 All the love and care for you and your spouse ❤ I hope each and every day you're together continues to be the most special. Idk if you're spiritual. But I will say a prayer for you both!
aww I'm so sorry to hear that! Good that you have each other. The most beautiful love is the one where you stick through whatever life throws at you, so I really admire that. I send you all the love! 🥰
I was married to my best friend for 17 years. He died in October 2021. I decorated my office space and said Happy Valentines day to him when i woke up today. I will take flowers out this pm to him. Miss him every day, but I've adjusted to the single life. Each day is a blessing! ❤️❤️
Happy Valentine’s Day Elise!❤ I’m 64 years old and I live alone in New York. I woke up early and walked to my favorite bakery and got myself a valentine cake and some espresso. Be good to yourself always! Love your channel!
I've had the same valentine for 42 years and we basically ignore valentine's day. And I've noticed that the healthiest relationships around me do the same. Showing love should be a daily thing, not an on-special-occasions thing.
I’ve never celebrated it either, and have had two great loves! 1st for 30 years until the death of my husband, and been married for 5 years to my now husband.
My best valentine memories are when I was a kid. My dad would buy a really good box of chocolates for Mom and us kids, and he'd buy himself a 6-pack of beer, lol. Everybody was happy. Valentine's is definitely no biggy. It wasn't when I was married, either.
Same. My husband and I have never celebrated. We have a little something for our daughter just to be fun and cute. His bday is actually tomorrow so he gets celebrated instead.
I have been married for 54 years and we also don't think about it too much. This year we are going out to dinner with another couple by a happy accident, when we made the reservations we just knew it was on a Wednesday😊
That's kinda sad though. I love celebrating holidays. Doesn't have to be anything big. Been with my husband for 20 years and we definitely used to go all out as kids but even just a card or coffee, a treat, watching a special movie together. Although we would never go out on valentines day bc that's a nightmare but a special home-cooked meal is nice!
@user-vc3pm7mw7y you kinda sound ignorant and missed the point of the song. I CAN buy myself flowers etc. it's a choice. Everything's a choice. If we don't want to settle for something that isn't fulfilling, that is our choice. Obviously there's nothing wrong with being happy in a relationship. Just as there's nothing wrong with being happy without someone. And statistics show that single childless women are happier than women who are married have kids. Surprise surprise.
As a single gentleman who is not reluctant to say Valentine's Day can be difficult I like the idea of turning it into a self care day I think we can all use more days like that in today's world. Sending you a little love and best wishes. ❤ (I'm actually going to a thrift shop in a few minutes but mine is not as interesting as that one!)
From a more “mature” 😉woman.... Sometimes being in a “relationship” can feel THE LONELIEST! Even more so than being single on Valentines Day. I quite liked my single life tbh. And never felt lonely. 😌 Don’t ever settle for less than you deserve. You are an amazing woman and deserve the BEST. Happy Valentines Day sweetie❣️❣️❣️😘
The garden is a beautiful place to be in ,you forget all your troubles,and go into a lovely peaceful place .It always amazes me how something growers from a seed .i have many bonsai trees and to think how many seasons they have gone through.sending blessings and love Elise Ann uk ❤️❤️❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
I bought a Valentine's Day gift for myself and also one for my sister-in-law. My brother passed away suddenly quite a while ago but she still feels lonely on this holiday. I visited her today and gave her the gift. A win-win!!!!
💖Happy Valentine's Day, Elise!💖 I am extremely happily old and single. No one can make me miserable like a man.😁 Today, my mom and I will be baking a raspberry cake, dying our hair and drinking some wine in our new pajamas. No pressure, no disappointment. Unless I don't like my hair color. Thank you for another beautiful video! You look stunning as always.
My husband and I shared Valentine’s Day with my 90 year old mom who lives 3 hours away. She will be moving from her familial home of 30 years to a retirement home at end of month. We agreed that, hopefully, we will have many more Valentine’s Days to share together, but felt it was important to spend time with her. It was lovely, shared a yummy meal, took her for a haircut and clothes shopping for her new home. Every day is an opportunity to share love with important people in our lives. Your day looked perfect!❤️
Read through a lot of these comments and I say ignore the “how to get a man advice”, my advice for a happy life is know your self, love yourself and make your best life, filling it with all sorts of loving relationships- family, friends, pets, garden, nature, creativity etc. From what I see you do that on a daily basis 🥰
I hope that I didn’t offend you. Being single and everything I mentioned about aren’t mutually exclusive! You can have it all. All I meant was that you can live a full and happy life regardless of finding a life partner. There are so many types of lives to live fully and happily. I just remember feeling so much social pressure in finding marriage in my 30s that i had a nagging feeling in the back of my mind that something was wrong with me if I didn’t. With 20 years more experience, and a marriage behind me, that voice is gone. Way too simplistic those nagging, unhelpful voices.
I was married for 25 years and have been single for 20. Being your own favorite person, being willing to try new things, and enjoying your own company are far better for me. ❤
My husband and I have had 12 (or 13 😬😅) Valentine's together and the more the expectations have faded over the years, the better it's become. This year he bought us some Lego flowers to build together and we will probably watch a cozy movie and eat chocolate 😊
😊Sounds like a sweet way to connect w/your hubby, esp. w/Legos💗. Romance doesn't have to be some 🪄big grand or glorious✨️ gesture. 😬The 📺 media puts out a lot of unnecessary pressure on both ♂️men & women♀️ leading up to the day. 🎀Simple & thoughtful is the best way to go when it comes to couples. 💝Figure having it on the calendar is only an opportunity to spoil ourselves or a loved one. 💫 Happy 💘 Valentine's! 💚Bridget from Cali☘️ (using my pal's YT acct)
Happy Valentines day Elise ,who needs a Man ? Miley Cyrus’ song says it all !i can buy myself flowers and hold my own hand, I can Love myself better ! I think your floral painting would look nice over your mantle !
Happy Valentines Day Sweetheart. I went shopping at Walmart yesterday...took my time and was surprised to see so many men out buying valentines gifts. Carrying flowers, chocolates, and other gifts for their loved ones. I'm not in a relationship, nor plan on ever being in one again at almost 67 I am content to just be me and me alone. I answer to nobody, can do as I please, and just enjoy life the way I want. Even slept in a bit. So for us single ladies out there Happy Valentines Day! Spend time for happiness today.💟💙💚💛💜💖💘💝❤
Married 55 years, we took a drive out into the country. We enjoy the ride, laugh, tell stories and when he sees something I might like to take a picture of he stops for me. We are friends, doesn’t mean we don’t have disagreements but we know, laughter, being kind and remembering life is very short carry us through. It is a day of self care, self love and thenyou are in better shape to love others.❤❤❤❤ oh, and tonight we will watch 100foot Journey, a movie we love to see on Valentine’s Day and per your suggestion we will order some Indian food. perfect for the movie!
I am not a romantic. In my opinion only, Valentine's Day is just another commercially motivated holiday to encourage spending. My idea of love is when individual, partners or friends work through the good and the not so good days for the sake of wellness, relationship and family. I love flowers, but they fade. I love chocolate, but it gives me migraines. To love is to be there through life's 'stuff' and grow deeper in understanding of myself and my partner. Love, to me, is caring more about the wellness of relationship than being the one that is right. Love is allowing another to flow in their own natural way. Enjoying your videos and LOVE your style, your talents and YOU!
I am widowed and spent the day with my grand daughters. It was lovely. They are lovely. I always tried to make Valentines a special Day for my husband and kids. Now they do for their significant others and kids. I have always believed in taking the opportunity of a special day to show those that I love that they are important and make my life better. There is always a chance to do that but it’s nice to join the world in a day that celebrates love.
Today is always a hard day for me, my husband and I were married 13yrs ago today. I remember saying that I wanted it be today to always remember this day forever. However it's been 2 years and my love is no longer here. Today I will go and grab food and make a nice dinner and have a glass of wine and watch a movie with our son who is 13. I found out a week later we were going to be parents so my son is the reason I smile on this day.
Sorry for your loss. I lost my husband 7 years ago. Life does get easier. Grief never really goes away. It gets quieter, slower and sometimes it comes rushing back like the sea❤
A self-love care day is perfect!!! I have been married 25 years to a most wonderful, thoughtful, loving man who is also my best friend for life. Valentine's Day to us is just another day. Every day for us is what we want to make it. Love your videos ! You're a great inspiration to us .
My Valentine and I have been married 16 years. We have two beautiful babies that look just like us. I am beyond grateful for this lovely little life. It all happened because he came thru the place I worked. Out of the blue, without warning. He stole my heart and helped me live. ❤
I love the swan picture. The minute you held it up in the store I was in love!! The floral picture would be beautiful above your fireplace. I love your eclectic style. You always seem to be able to pull it all together and make it look cohesive. You get joy from simplicity and I love that way of life. Love watching you and I wish you a very wonderful Valentine's Day. 🎉
I’ve had the same Valentine for 22 years (I’m 42). We don’t really celebrate it but I feel like every day I know I’m loved and they know they’re loved and that’s all that matters ❤
That yellow dress looked so pretty on you! Also I cant get over how the furniture is AMAZING in Danish thrift stores...if you saw the ones in Canada you wouldn't know whether to laugh or cry.
It's lovely strolling after you everywhere you go,Elise. Spring seems to be in the air,so flowers are welcome to uplift our spirits. Your Valentine's dress is outstanding just like all your new pictures.❤
Spending Valentines Day looking after my daughters dog. Todd (the dog) turned up wearing a red bow tie and gave me a bunch of red roses, jelly baby sweets and a card.
I've been single for over 25 years, I understand that sometimes it can get lonely. I respect your positive outlook on life and for loving yourself enough to treat yourself with nice things and special moments. You are a beautiful young woman. Thanks for sharing your life with us. 😊❤❤
Married 38 years and we love each other every day so Valentine's isn't a big deal. We did go to dinner with a group of friends which was nice. I loved your self indulgent day....especially the cake!!!
That champagne colored silk blouse is chefs kiss. So classy romantic and elegant. Enjoy every one of your videos. Self love is def where it's at. ❤❤❤❤❤
A sunny day is here in my hometown, I borrowed a book from the library, drank coffee in the sun, and tonight I have an education, all in all magical. As for valentines, I've been solo for 5-something years and I don't feel any pressure about it. 🎉😊 🌱
As you hold the flowerpainting up in your living room, I guess you are finding your "deep with in" style, that brings you joy and helps building your house. This painting is so good looking with your living room and not "just another flower painting". Any passion that we reflect is a true passion ❤ Love your videos and wish you the best Elise 😊
I don't remember if it was Valentine's Day or my birthday, but the guy I was dating wasn't interested in taking me out to celebrate so I took myself out on a date. I dressed up, took myself to my favorite oriental restaurant and a movie. Best date ever! I dumped the jerk after that.
My husband and I took our morning walk then went and had a casual lunch and now I'm planting my seeds and my garden and tomato and onion plants.❤ Just a normal day. PS... You're never alone if you don't abandon yourself ❤️
I've been to see Rory Scovel's stand-up twice since watching 'I Feel Pretty'. He's hilarious (and not your typical movie leading man love interest). That movie was fun.
Hubby and I have Valentine's day 24/7, 365 days a year. We feel our love cannot be contained in a Hallmark holiday for one day a year. We still go out and watch all the people buy flowers and such. In love with love, x's lj
WOW!!I love the needle work Swans in the beautiful gold frame!!So glad you had a fun self care day!!The flowers 🌹 you bought are so pretty ❤️ Happy Valentine's Day to you ❤
Happy Valentine dear Elise, you have made my life happier. You resilience and creativity inspired me a lot in life. Your way of life has inspired me to look at mines in a kinder perspective and look for ways I could make it a little more happier. You are loved by the community you have built and that’s the best type of love if you ask me.
I also wanted to take a moment and share with you the conditions the Palestinian have been enduring for 75+ years of occupation by Israel and most recently the brutal and inhumane war on civilians children women and men for the past 5 months. Palestinian are murdered and starved to death by the IDF. Your vintage drops often include kftan a traditional dress worn by the Palestinian women. It’s beautiful isn’t it? So I hope you would love and care for the Palestinian as much as you love their traditional clothing. I encourage you to educate yourself on this topic and I’m here to share resources with you. I also encourage to checkout the bds list and participate in the boycott. You are a very kind person and I just know Bisan would love to support your small business
The rose painting is one of the most beautiful I have seen thrifted by anyone and my favorite art piece of yours! And, the embroidered swans are exquisite! I love both of these! I'm 51, never married, one dog, one cat, and have had many Valentine's days with boyfriends. But, I have had most with either galpals for a night in or nice dinner out with a close manfriend in my life, also single and fantastic company all! All were special! Embrace your lovely life, find excitment in your business transitions to come, continue to fill your home and garden with love and beauty, and surround yourself with those you love and things that challenge you and bring you peace! As for your singleness... roll with it. I've always lived alone and downright hate it at times when loneliness hits me like a train. I've dated very little ... mainly because I had a few really heartbreaking experiences. Unfortunately, I allowed those to shut me down. Ive been living a rather Miss Habersham life, and I'm trying to break that! I became very ill in my thirties which left me disabled. I'm functioning in that I am mobile and independent for the most part, but I live in constant pain and still suffer everyday. I fight every minute of my life! This has kept me from really feeling like much of a "catch" or even having the energy to seek a partner or even contribute to a relationship. But, I know God has His plans for me. So, I stand in faith! I'm glad you date ... keep it up. Enjoy yourself meeting others and exploring new places and experiences. Most if all, remember who you are! Are you where you want to be (studio hunt aside)? Are you nurturing your relationships with your family and friends? I'm glad you sent that "open relationship" dude packing! Keeping your chin up and standing up to your high morals are one of the most cherished virtues in life, especially nowadays! My mother and I adore your being such a lovely lady and your sweet grace, boho style, work ethic, and kindness. You are being prepared for that special someone, I feel most assured. I still feel that for me, even at my age! I pray for you peace, love, and rock-and-roll til you find it! XO P.s. My Mother and I are off to our Valentine's lunch, now! ;)
You are sooooo not alone on this Valentines Day!!!!!! You get to concentrate on yourself. You are beautiful just the way you are!!! Best!!! Hey we did not see the cake!!!
I’m two days away from my 58 th birthday. I have been single without a relationship now since in my early 40s and I have to tell you I am the happiest I’ve ever been than when I was in a relationship. I have an amazing family and wonderful friends and I never feel alone…… just grateful and fulfilled. I gave myself a facial, had a piece of cake and bought myself a bottle of Chanel Cocoa Noir perfume and a beautiful Chanel red lipstick for Valentines Day to myself! Friday is my birthday and I’m excited to treat myself all weekend! Love your channel . Happy Valentines Day!!! ❤
Dear Elise, one of my daughters is close to your age and went through a tough break up around the same time as you. That's why I started to watch your channel to see how you were coping too bc like you, you both bought a house around the same time too. I knew the house would be a great distraction. Well, she met a great guy this past September and I just wanted to encourage you that your day will come too. You will meet the person of your dreams, you just haven't found each other yet. However, glad you still treated yourself with kindness on Valentine's Day and it was great that you encouraged others to do the same. Your home is beautiful as are your clothes!!! Love your taste in color and much success going forward!
Happy Valentine's Day. Single and agree. Miss my loved ones who have passed and send out prayers and they are in my heart. Dedicated my daily practice to one, a good friend, whose birthday was today.
You did the exact right thing in treating yourself well on Valentines Day. You are a beautiful strong woman and I am sure your future Valentine is out there, just don’t settle although I don’t see you doing so. I love your videos!
You have some wonderful activities planned for Valentines Day. Love the flowers & flower painting. Can’t rember what I did other than sharing Valentines Day events & decluttering. Saving up to do basic maintenance & bought an energy efficient hot water system & a water filter. Glad you enjoyed your Valentines Day. Time to plan Easter next.
Hi Elise, you are a delightful lady. 45 years ago, I gave birth to my son on Valentine's Day, so that was and still is my best present :). My now husband and I don't do anything special to celebrate except to get each other a small token of appreciation. We would rather celebrate our relationship each day since this is both our second marriages. Keep taking care of you and putting out quality videos please!!
I have also celebrated as single and have for the past 5 years. I love it! I had to work today but now I am home watching videos and yes, I bought myself cake! I love being unattached and free! I also enjoy the therapy of gardening and am hoping for dry weather !
In order for this old gal to be in another relationship it would have to offer more than the joy, freedom, contentment, peace of mind and beauty single life offers me. I do special things for myself and friends all through the year when it's unexpected - keeps things fun. I have had some lovely valentines days. Do what makes you feel alive and in love with the world, earth, art, or animals, Elise. Love is huge XO.
Spending V Day with my wonderful co-workers. We had a Get Your Goodies On day where we all brought a sweet to share. Giving my daughter extra love today, she's the love of my life.
LOVE your channel - you are so creative, upbeat and gorgeous. Thank you for sharing your life, so real, love your perspective and creativity! So great!!
My fave videos from you are where you go thrifting, which is one of my fave things to do in life🍓 And I love your celebrating yourself on Valentine’s Day! Thanks, Elise!
I am having a great Valentines day.. I went Thrifting with a good friend. We bought lots of nice things..I will have a glass of wine and make a lovely dinner for myself...Life is peaceful and that is all I need at this time of my life, Men have come and gone,,,,being alone now is good for me...Best of Luck to you.
I loved how you filled your day. I'm a great believer in having days where you give yourself the gift of time spent doing the things you love. You looked like the subject in an impressionist painting in the wedding dress and as for that yellow one you tried on..... I was so hoping it would fit you well. Loved your art choices today and your garden choices, too Every spring I fall in love with polyanthus and primula and have to indulge in some new ones. Well done again❤ on a day well spent!!!!!
Happy Valentine's Day Elise ❤. My Valentine is my little Maltipoo baby dog 😅. One of my clients surprised me with a card and flower on Monday and that made my day. I don't mind not having a significant other as long as I'm mentally happy. I see some of my friends that are in relationships and they're miserable. So I appreciate not having any of their heartaches and headaches. Maybe next year 😊 And I'm so excited about seeing your beautiful garden come to life! I've also bought seeds and my mom is planting roses all over my new house front yard
Aww will be stunning and lovely for you to see your roses grow! Roses are amazing. I understand, I also really value just being me sometimes, despite I also sometimes miss haveing someone to cuddle hehe. There's pros and cons of both 🥰And it will happen, when it's supposed to happen.
I absolutely love that you've turned valentine's day into a day of self-love and self-care. That's such a good approach. Another great video, Elise. I love the flower painting you bought. Sooooooo pretty!! Happy Self-Care day, Elise! Sounds like you have a nice evening planned.
the most important things is Health, my husband and I celebrated festive days at home or church for so many, many years. Family is the most important thing.
That is a Conch shell in English. The wedding dress looks just like the one my best friend wore for her wedding in 70s in England! You are an amazing woman, like artistikitty said, and do deserve the best. Happy Valentines Day to you. xxx
Happy Valentine's day, Elise! I love the swans. My husband and I have been friends for 40 years. We went out to lunch, had a glass of wine and watched Gunsmoke. Now he's sleeping and I'm watching you.💖
Happy Valentine's Day, Elise!! I've had my share of Valentine's Day on my own - but have now been with my boyfriend for twelve-and-a-half years (we met in our late 30s). We got to spend a bit of time together today - I am in a play and we are in the middle of production week, so we had a small window, but we had a coffee together and watched Age of Adaline, a random selection that I had seen, but he hadn't. It felt good to be cozy before heading to rehearsal! Thanks for producing such great videos, I enjoy them so much!
Beautiful flowers and bulbs. Solar globes are nice. Yummy cake treats. Love you thrift finds. Nothing like a wedding gown to be pretty and special. Enjoy your day. I attended a Galentine's Day Luncheon with 14 girlfriends. Some are single some are not but we had a great time. Laughs and Lunch. Tonight my husband bought Shrimp with Corn and potato Chowder. Yummy.
My Valentine and I have been together for 35 years. This year he was diagnosed with cancer. He always gave me cards and gifts for Valentines days. This year he can not get out and shop. He did ask me to buy what I wanted. I just want him well.
I'm so sorry to hear this💔 All the love and care for you and your spouse ❤ I hope each and every day you're together continues to be the most special. Idk if you're spiritual. But I will say a prayer for you both!
So sorry . I pray he goes into remission 🙏
I hope your days with him are happy and I hope he heals so you can have more time together.
aww I'm so sorry to hear that! Good that you have each other. The most beautiful love is the one where you stick through whatever life throws at you, so I really admire that. I send you all the love! 🥰
Enjoy every minute❤ Praying for recovery.

aww this hit me 🥰Hope to meet my best friend and get to have 17 years together with someone, some day. Yes, each day is indeed a blessing.

A great song from the 1950's movie "Moulin Rouge" goes - "Wine can make you pale but a man can make you paler." I never forgot that - it's so true

Sounds like a great time ❤

I'm single and happy by myself. ☺️
My husband and I have had 12 (or 13 😬😅) Valentine's together and the more the expectations have faded over the years, the better it's become. This year he bought us some Lego flowers to build together and we will probably watch a cozy movie and eat chocolate 😊

Happy Valentines Day Sweetheart. I went shopping at Walmart yesterday...took my time and was surprised to see so many men out buying valentines gifts. Carrying flowers, chocolates, and other gifts for their loved ones. I'm not in a relationship, nor plan on ever being in one again at almost 67 I am content to just be me and me alone. I answer to nobody, can do as I please, and just enjoy life the way I want. Even slept in a bit. So for us single ladies out there Happy Valentines Day! Spend time for happiness today.💟💙💚💛💜💖💘💝❤
Thrifting and cake is my ideal date with myself! It's the best.
What a treat on Valentine's Day for us single ladies 💖 I watched this with a glass of champagne because I derseve it! 🥰 Have a lovely day everyone!
Yesss! Ohh I missed out on Champagne on my Valentine's day hehe 🥰Thank you!
Married 55 years, we took a drive out into the country. We enjoy the ride, laugh, tell stories and when he sees something I might like to take a picture of he stops for me. We are friends, doesn’t mean we don’t have disagreements but we know, laughter, being kind and remembering life is very short carry us through. It is a day of self care, self love and thenyou are in better shape to love others.❤❤❤❤ oh, and tonight we will watch 100foot Journey, a movie we love to see on Valentine’s Day and per your suggestion we will order some Indian food. perfect for the movie!
I am sitting here watching this with my mum drinking Prosecco happy valentine ❤all. Great vlog as usual
Congratulations that’s wonderful ❤😊 I’m 55 it’s great number! Hee hee
I am not a romantic. In my opinion only, Valentine's Day is just another commercially motivated holiday to encourage spending. My idea of love is when individual, partners or friends work through the good and the not so good days for the sake of wellness, relationship and family. I love flowers, but they fade. I love chocolate, but it gives me migraines. To love is to be there through life's 'stuff' and grow deeper in understanding of myself and my partner. Love, to me, is caring more about the wellness of relationship than being the one that is right. Love is allowing another to flow in their own natural way.
Enjoying your videos and LOVE your style, your talents and YOU!
Happy Valentine’s Day as a single woman🌹🫰🎸🥳! Celebrate Us!! ❤🎉
Happy Valentines Day. Well done Elise! Showing love,kindness and self acceptance is the best gift to oneself.🙏🏽🌺💯
I am widowed and spent the day with my grand daughters. It was lovely. They are lovely. I always tried to make Valentines a special Day for my husband and kids. Now they do for their significant others and kids. I have always believed in taking the opportunity of a special day to show those that I love that they are important and make my life better. There is always a chance to do that but it’s nice to join the world in a day that celebrates love.
Today is always a hard day for me, my husband and I were married 13yrs ago today. I remember saying that I wanted it be today to always remember this day forever. However it's been 2 years and my love is no longer here. Today I will go and grab food and make a nice dinner and have a glass of wine and watch a movie with our son who is 13. I found out a week later we were going to be parents so my son is the reason I smile on this day.
Sorry for your loss. I lost my husband 7 years ago. Life does get easier. Grief never really goes away. It gets quieter, slower and sometimes it comes rushing back like the sea❤
@@rikkemeek1506 yes that's exactly how it feels. Sorry for your loss as well❤
A self-love care day is perfect!!!
I have been married 25 years to a most wonderful, thoughtful, loving man who is also my best friend for life. Valentine's Day to us is just another day. Every day for us is what we want to make it. Love your videos ! You're a great inspiration to us .
You are such a joy little one. Blessings from a grandma in America…❤️
I was married 38 yrs and I’m soooo happy being alone , I love my life more than ever !! I’m very good to myself
No one buys you better presents than yourself😁
I pray God will.send someone to share your life you are such a beautiful person and can sing
❤your channel
Hy elise, happy Valentinsday I am a divorced Single since ten years. It is what it is. Better than being in an unhappy relationship.
True that an unhappy relationship is a great deal worse than being alone.
Valentine's Day is an invention to boost consumption. Love 💗💗💗
My Valentine and I have been married 16 years. We have two beautiful babies that look just like us. I am beyond grateful for this lovely little life. It all happened because he came thru the place I worked. Out of the blue, without warning. He stole my heart and helped me live. ❤
I love the swan picture. The minute you held it up in the store I was in love!! The floral picture would be beautiful above your fireplace. I love your eclectic style. You always seem to be able to pull it all together and make it look cohesive. You get joy from simplicity and I love that way of life. Love watching you and I wish you a very wonderful Valentine's Day. 🎉
The flower painting just fits so perfectly with all the colors of your life. It was meant to be. Also, your dress is so cute.
I’ve had the same Valentine for 22 years (I’m 42). We don’t really celebrate it but I feel like every day I know I’m loved and they know they’re loved and that’s all that matters ❤
I love this and this is a great message. Ladies need to see the day as a self love and not just relationship based. Great message!!!!!!
That yellow dress looked so pretty on you! Also I cant get over how the furniture is AMAZING in Danish thrift stores...if you saw the ones in Canada you wouldn't know whether to laugh or cry.
I have a wall full of flower paintings - most thrifted.
It's lovely strolling after you everywhere you go,Elise. Spring seems to be in the air,so flowers are welcome to uplift our spirits. Your Valentine's dress is outstanding just like all your new pictures.❤
Shopping, gardening, take away while watching a fave romcom or two. Sounds like the perfect day to me!
Spending Valentines Day looking after my daughters dog. Todd (the dog) turned up wearing a red bow tie and gave me a bunch of red roses, jelly baby sweets and a card.
i started to celebrate last night. grabbed a single rose while checking out of target. happy love day to everyone
Elise, your videos make me SO HAPPY! You are a beautiful Light in this world… and I thank you 💖💐💖
I've been single for over 25 years, I understand that sometimes it can get lonely. I respect your positive outlook on life and for loving yourself enough to treat yourself with nice things and special moments. You are a beautiful young woman. Thanks for sharing your life with us. 😊❤❤
Loved watching celebrate Valentine's day 🤗🌹🌹❤🌹🌹🤗
Had a glass of wine with my Husband married 54 years 🌹❤🌹
Love Sue ❤❤❤🇬🇧❤❤❤
Married 38 years and we love each other every day so Valentine's isn't a big deal. We did go to dinner with a group of friends which was nice. I loved your self indulgent day....especially the cake!!!
That champagne colored silk blouse is chefs kiss. So classy romantic and elegant. Enjoy every one of your videos. Self love is def where it's at. ❤❤❤❤❤
Be your own Valentine everyday. Nothing better.
The swan needlepoint is so beautiful. 🦢🦢🦢
A sunny day is here in my hometown, I borrowed a book from the library, drank coffee in the sun, and tonight I have an education, all in all magical. As for valentines, I've been solo for 5-something years and I don't feel any pressure about it. 🎉😊 🌱
As you hold the flowerpainting up in your living room, I guess you are finding your "deep with in" style, that brings you joy and helps building your house. This painting is so good looking with your living room and not "just another flower painting".
Any passion that we reflect is a true passion ❤ Love your videos and wish you the best Elise 😊
I don't remember if it was Valentine's Day or my birthday, but the guy I was dating wasn't interested in taking me out to celebrate so I took myself out on a date. I dressed up, took myself to my favorite oriental restaurant and a movie. Best date ever! I dumped the jerk after that.
I have been a widow for almost 34 years! I am certainly accustomed to singular Valentine's day! I really don't mind it!!
My husband and I took our morning walk then went and had a casual lunch and now I'm planting my seeds and my garden and tomato and onion plants.❤ Just a normal day. PS... You're never alone if you don't abandon yourself ❤️
I'm 58 and have been single for 6 yrs. I went out with my friends to karaoke and we all dressed up! It was a blast
I wish with all my heart that next valentine's day you spend happy and loved, being in a healthy retirement
I've been to see Rory Scovel's stand-up twice since watching 'I Feel Pretty'. He's hilarious (and not your typical movie leading man love interest). That movie was fun.
Celebrating yourself is the best!!!❤ I’ve been a “young” widow for about 8 years so dating myself has been one of my favourite things to do 🥂!
Hubby and I have Valentine's day 24/7, 365 days a year. We feel our love cannot be contained in a Hallmark holiday for one day a year. We still go out and watch all the people buy flowers and such. In love with love, x's lj
WOW!!I love the needle work Swans in the beautiful gold frame!!So glad you had a fun self care day!!The flowers 🌹 you bought are so pretty ❤️ Happy Valentine's Day to you ❤
Happy Valentine dear Elise, you have made my life happier. You resilience and creativity inspired me a lot in life. Your way of life has inspired me to look at mines in a kinder perspective and look for ways I could make it a little more happier. You are loved by the community you have built and that’s the best type of love if you ask me.
I also wanted to take a moment and share with you the conditions the Palestinian have been enduring for 75+ years of occupation by Israel and most recently the brutal and inhumane war on civilians children women and men for the past 5 months. Palestinian are murdered and starved to death by the IDF. Your vintage drops often include kftan a traditional dress worn by the Palestinian women. It’s beautiful isn’t it? So I hope you would love and care for the Palestinian as much as you love their traditional clothing. I encourage you to educate yourself on this topic and I’m here to share resources with you. I also encourage to checkout the bds list and participate in the boycott. You are a very kind person and I just know Bisan would love to support your small business
The rose painting is one of the most beautiful I have seen thrifted by anyone and my favorite art piece of yours! And, the embroidered swans are exquisite! I love both of these!
I'm 51, never married, one dog, one cat, and have had many Valentine's days with boyfriends. But, I have had most with either galpals for a night in or nice dinner out with a close manfriend in my life, also single and fantastic company all! All were special!
Embrace your lovely life, find excitment in your business transitions to come, continue to fill your home and garden with love and beauty, and surround yourself with those you love and things that challenge you and bring you peace!
As for your singleness... roll with it. I've always lived alone and downright hate it at times when loneliness hits me like a train. I've dated very little ... mainly because I had a few really heartbreaking experiences. Unfortunately, I allowed those to shut me down. Ive been living a rather Miss Habersham life, and I'm trying to break that!
I became very ill in my thirties which left me disabled. I'm functioning in that I am mobile and independent for the most part, but I live in constant pain and still suffer everyday. I fight every minute of my life! This has kept me from really feeling like much of a "catch" or even having the energy to seek a partner or even contribute to a relationship. But, I know God has His plans for me. So, I stand in faith!
I'm glad you date ... keep it up. Enjoy yourself meeting others and exploring new places and experiences. Most if all, remember who you are! Are you where you want to be (studio hunt aside)? Are you nurturing your relationships with your family and friends?
I'm glad you sent that "open relationship" dude packing! Keeping your chin up and standing up to your high morals are one of the most cherished virtues in life, especially nowadays!
My mother and I adore your being such a lovely lady and your sweet grace, boho style, work ethic, and kindness. You are being prepared for that special someone, I feel most assured. I still feel that for me, even at my age! I pray for you peace, love, and rock-and-roll til you find it! XO
P.s. My Mother and I are off to our Valentine's lunch, now! ;)
You are sooooo not alone on this Valentines Day!!!!!! You get to concentrate on yourself. You are beautiful just the way you are!!! Best!!! Hey we did not see the cake!!!
Elise, you really know how to do cozy:) And I love how you wore the beautiful, vintage bridal gown as a regular dress… good idea!
I’m two days away from my 58 th birthday. I have been single without a relationship now since in my early 40s and I have to tell you I am the happiest I’ve ever been than when I was in a relationship. I have an amazing family and wonderful friends and I never feel alone…… just grateful and fulfilled. I gave myself a facial, had a piece of cake and bought myself a bottle of Chanel Cocoa Noir perfume and a beautiful Chanel red lipstick for Valentines Day to myself! Friday is my birthday and I’m excited to treat myself all weekend! Love your channel . Happy Valentines Day!!! ❤
Dear Elise, one of my daughters is close to your age and went through a tough break up around the same time as you. That's why I started to watch your channel to see how you were coping too bc like you, you both bought a house around the same time too. I knew the house would be a great distraction. Well, she met a great guy this past September and I just wanted to encourage you that your day will come too. You will meet the person of your dreams, you just haven't found each other yet. However, glad you still treated yourself with kindness on Valentine's Day and it was great that you encouraged others to do the same. Your home is beautiful as are your clothes!!! Love your taste in color and much success going forward!
11:59 Oh, is that a Orrefors Hallon (Raspberry) candleholder? What a nice find!
It Is, and I think I could see another one on the shelf
The swans would look beautiful in your bedroom,
Perfect color tones😊😊
Happy Valentine's Day. Single and agree. Miss my loved ones who have passed and send out prayers and they are in my heart. Dedicated my daily practice to one, a good friend, whose birthday was today.
You did the exact right thing in treating yourself well on Valentines Day. You are a beautiful strong woman and I am sure your future Valentine is out there, just don’t settle although I don’t see you doing so. I love your videos!
Happy Love ❤️ Day dear! This world needs a lot more of it. 😊 really love the fireplace
You have some wonderful activities planned for Valentines Day. Love the flowers & flower painting. Can’t rember what I did other than sharing Valentines Day events & decluttering. Saving up to do basic maintenance & bought an energy efficient hot water system & a water filter. Glad you enjoyed your Valentines Day. Time to plan Easter next.
Dating yourself is the best Valentines Day. No fights, no faking, just all what you want.
Hi Elise, you are a delightful lady. 45 years ago, I gave birth to my son on Valentine's Day, so that was and still is my best present :). My now husband and I don't do anything special to celebrate except to get each other a small token of appreciation. We would rather celebrate our relationship each day since this is both our second marriages. Keep taking care of you and putting out quality videos please!!
I have also celebrated as single and have for the past 5 years. I love it! I had to work today but now I am home watching videos and yes, I bought myself cake!
I love being unattached and free!
I also enjoy the therapy of gardening and am hoping for dry weather !
In order for this old gal to be in another relationship it would have to offer more than the joy, freedom, contentment, peace of mind and beauty single life offers me. I do special things for myself and friends all through the year when it's unexpected - keeps things fun. I have had some lovely valentines days. Do what makes you feel alive and in love with the world, earth, art, or animals, Elise. Love is huge XO.
I really enjoyed Valentines day with you.🎉❤🎉❤ What a beautiful day thanks for sharing this day with us 💖 Love you 💋
Be kind to yourself is a really lovely thing to say.Happy Valentine's ♥️
Spending V Day with my wonderful co-workers. We had a Get Your Goodies On day where we all brought a sweet to share. Giving my daughter extra love today, she's the love of my life.
aww that sounds lovely 🥰
LOVE your channel - you are so creative, upbeat and gorgeous. Thank you for sharing your life, so real, love your perspective and creativity! So great!!
Lol at wearing the wedding dress around the house. Why not! So funny. And I love that roses painting.
Well done Elise, you value yourself and that’s the most important thing.
A beautiful day loving yourself. That gorgeous floral painting would look amazing on your mantle layered with your mirrors and other bits.
YOU ARE THE BEST! What an awesome day you had. I just spent the day sleeping and resting from 4 intense days of carnival, dancing, having funnn :)
My fave videos from you are where you go thrifting, which is one of my fave things to do in life🍓 And I love your celebrating yourself on Valentine’s Day! Thanks, Elise!
Happy self pampering day ! You can be single and have all the love in the world . Have a wonderful weekend Elise ❤
I am having a great Valentines day.. I went Thrifting with a good friend. We bought lots of nice things..I will have a glass of wine and make a lovely dinner for myself...Life is peaceful and that is all I need at this time of my life, Men have come and gone,,,,being alone now is good for me...Best of Luck to you.
I loved how you filled your day. I'm a great believer in having days where you give yourself the gift of time spent doing the things you love. You looked like the subject in an impressionist painting in the wedding dress and as for that yellow one you tried on..... I was so hoping it would fit you well.
Loved your art choices today and your garden choices, too Every spring I fall in love with polyanthus and primula and have to indulge in some new ones.
Well done again❤ on a day well spent!!!!!
Happy Valentine's Day Elise ❤. My Valentine is my little Maltipoo baby dog 😅. One of my clients surprised me with a card and flower on Monday and that made my day. I don't mind not having a significant other as long as I'm mentally happy. I see some of my friends that are in relationships and they're miserable. So I appreciate not having any of their heartaches and headaches. Maybe next year 😊 And I'm so excited about seeing your beautiful garden come to life! I've also bought seeds and my mom is planting roses all over my new house front yard
Aww will be stunning and lovely for you to see your roses grow! Roses are amazing. I understand, I also really value just being me sometimes, despite I also sometimes miss haveing someone to cuddle hehe. There's pros and cons of both 🥰And it will happen, when it's supposed to happen.
Happy Valentine’s Day! Thank you for making this and sharing your heart day with us! Loved it! ❤️
I’m sure you have soooo many people who love you and you don’t even know them…..subscribers all over the world…..❤. Love your outfit !!!
I absolutely love that you've turned valentine's day into a day of self-love and self-care. That's such a good approach. Another great video, Elise. I love the flower painting you bought. Sooooooo pretty!! Happy Self-Care day, Elise! Sounds like you have a nice evening planned.
🥰🥰 So glad you enjoyed it!
the most important things is Health, my husband and I celebrated festive days at home or church for so many, many years. Family is the most important thing.
The bridal gown moment was awesome! Reminded me of the Friends episode with Rachel, Monica and Phoebe in bridal gowns 😂
That is a Conch shell in English. The wedding dress looks just like the one my best friend wore for her wedding in 70s in England! You are an amazing woman, like artistikitty said, and do deserve the best. Happy Valentines Day to you. xxx
I do self care day, too! Chocolate, nails, anything I want...💖
Happy Valentine's day, Elise! I love the swans. My husband and I have been friends for 40 years. We went out to lunch, had a glass of wine and watched Gunsmoke. Now he's sleeping and I'm watching you.💖
awww I think that is what love is all about 🥰you found someone very deer to you, 40 years of friendship and caring for one another is amazing.
I love your Valentine’s Day for yourself. A wonderful ida.❤️❤️❤️
Happy Valentine's Day, Elise!! I've had my share of Valentine's Day on my own - but have now been with my boyfriend for twelve-and-a-half years (we met in our late 30s). We got to spend a bit of time together today - I am in a play and we are in the middle of production week, so we had a small window, but we had a coffee together and watched Age of Adaline, a random selection that I had seen, but he hadn't. It felt good to be cozy before heading to rehearsal! Thanks for producing such great videos, I enjoy them so much!
Beautiful flowers and bulbs. Solar globes are nice. Yummy cake treats. Love you thrift finds. Nothing like a wedding gown to be pretty and special. Enjoy your day.
I attended a Galentine's Day Luncheon with 14 girlfriends. Some are single some are not but we had a great time. Laughs and Lunch. Tonight my husband bought Shrimp with Corn and potato Chowder. Yummy.
