I so enjoyed touring this lovely and artistic southwest home. She is a talented and gracious lady and you are so blessed to call her a friend and mentor. I too fell in love with Northern New Mexico after my husband and I spent a wonderful a week driving and savoring the back roads. I have several of those St Francis wood carvings. Precious. What a loving tribute she and her husband pay to Native American culture and art. Thank you.
Old white people love Native art that means nothing. Santa Fe sucks cause old white people flooded her for that fake 1920's bull art. They ruined this city because no one young can live here cause of this fake garbage art world. Locals got sold down the river for this garbage art
Thank you, Janie and Bill, for inviting this community into your beautiful home. There are so many special touches, treasures and memories that make it a beautiful home. The clay figures and shelving unit are priceless - so loving. This 68 yr old 'child' was delighted with all the boxes and units that held smaller treasures. Linda and Stewart - another great 'field trip'. Love the new winter intro - nice work, Stewart.
This was a fun and interesting video. Love home and garden tours and seeing how other people live and what their interests are. The home owner is delightful!
Oh my goodness I truly enjoyed every minute of this tour of your friends house. She has some very interesting Indian items and it’s all in a unique design on each table as well as her kitchen/dining room table. I love Indian things but I don’t own any. Great history behind each item and paintings. Thank you so much for sharing. 🎄
What a lovely lady and a beautiful home and way of decorating. My 5 local grandchildren, still come over every year on christmas. Son's family, of 3 grandchildren, come about 10 a.m. and leave at noonish. After a quick nap for us, LOL.... Daughter's family ,with her 2 children, come about 2, and stay until about 6. such lovely times and memories. The 3 grandchildren that live east, celebrate their way over there. love,hugs,prayers.
Thank you so much to Janie for letting us come into her home. There were so many fascinating and beautiful things to look at, and I found myself researching some of the artists she talked about. That turquoise corn is stunning, and I loved the painting by Nan Sheets. I think the colors in the wall are just breathtaking.
Thank you Linda and Stewart for taking us to the wonderful home of Janie and Bill. What a collection of art treasures. I'm blown away. Seasons greetings to you all, love from England 🤗
This video is exemplary. It is magnificent. This is a great example (amongst many others), of an Oklahoma home. This is beautiful,thank you,Linda,for taking us along ❤️
BTW I have a Zuni fetish collection that would blow your mind! It is ever changing,evolving,sometimes disappearing,as I give them away,as I sense the totems of the people I meet. My finest is a little fox,carved out of rare red coral. I cherish her,she guides,in ways indescribable.
Linda,a question: Do you know what your totem is? I think that I do,but I would love to hear your thoughts. If I am correct,I shall need to pursue it,aquire it,for you to own. You may already own it!
Such a beautiful home and what a gracious and lovely lady. Her extensive collection of southwest art tugged at my heart as I have collected for over 55 years. This past year or two during covid I started releasing my pieces to others to enjoy and cherish but do miss them. Friends and I were just discussing changing family traditions at the holidays. Sadly for us seniors and grandparents it is a time of uncertainty now. Health concerns, travelling in bad weather. Some adult children have moved several hours away and are staying home with little ones leaving us alone. We have come full circle ! Alone as a couple newly married and alone in our golden years ( or as I call them, the dark ages)! Thank you for the lovely tour
Having lost both my parents this summer and consequently feeling very unchristmasy this video really cheered me up.I have been feeling at the age of 69 ,that it was too late to carry on collecting things I love but this video showed me I can still collect and decorate. Thank you for your inspiring videos Linda, for your enthusiasm and wonder and awe for life ------ gardens and houses, which I love too. I wish I could meet and talk to you but living in the UK makes it very unlikely of course. A very happy Christmas to you and your family.
Then we shall be friends through this channel. I feel for your loss, but hopefully next Christmas the memories will be sweet and less painful. And yes! You are a baby at 69. Much time to collect and look for beauty that inspires. Merry Christmas dear!
Beautiful. Thank you Linda & Stewart. Really enjoyed their Special treasures of art paintings & sculpture & stone. That's why I loved Santa Fe so much & I lived in Phoenix as a child. The Native American culture. What a lovely artistic couple.
Hi Linda and Stewart Sacagawea dollar coins? Yep I got ‘em. I used to get them as change from a the train ticket machine. I would give them to my son when he was real little and say here is a gold coin. His eyes would light up every time he got a gold coin. He had bags of them. Then he found out they were only dollar coins not real gold coins. The magic was gone but the memories live on! 🥰🥰🤗🤗 I have many of those coins which I use as currency. Thank you😊 for the lovely tour and thanks for the memories!
Love all this, just so creative and beautiful! You should always play and move things around. My mom hid a GI joe in her potted plants. It’s fun to have fun.
Wow!!! You are so LUCKY to have such an incredible friend. And when I grow up I want to be just like her too. Their home is beautiful and filled with the most wonderful items. Thank you for this great home tour. And as always Stewart does a fabulous job filming it. Happy Holidays to all of you!
As beautiful as her house is and her necklace, I could not help being distracted by your wonderful outfit Linda! I love the jacket, your purse, and the purple boots! You really knocked it out of the park on this one!
Beautiful home with so much history and just teeming with creativity. Loved the tour of their garden, also. I've given my husband many fetishes, as gifts, from trips to the Southwest. He keeps them in a drawer but I think it is time to take them out and display them.
Oh boy! I was hoping we would get to see inside too, and it was everything I could have wished for! Thank you! Merry Christmas to two lovely ladies and the splendid gentlemen in attendance!
This was a fun and inspiring home tour…Of course I especially love all the Native American artwork and how it’s beautifully incorporated with Christmas 💚…I truly appreciate and feel forever grateful I can live here near Santa Fe…Thank you for sharing Janie & Bill, Linda and Stewart💚💚!!
Hi Linda, Would love to see a home tour of this beautiful home, after the holidays! Would be interesting to see, what collections get put away, what gets left out, and how the home is styled after Christmas. Thanks again for the tour, I have watched this one, so many times
Just found your channel recently and subscribed this week. Guessing I may be beginning a binge! Janie’s home is special beyond description. Having the things you love and that inspire you where you can see them and enjoy them every moment is very much how I live. I was “collected” before collected was cool. (My kids are not quite sure about what they will do with it someday.) The freedom to create your own look and embellish your environment with the stuff that brings personal joy is finally gaining universal appeal. I understand the chills you describe. Thanks for sharing Jamie’s home and its treasures.
This was a fabulous tour that I could have watched all day! Loved all of the art and OMG that turquoise corn piece is stunning beyond words. Coveting so many pieces. The tiny drums and the St Francis Ortega carving! Went to Santa Fe this October and this has me wanting to go back now! I have added many SW elements into my decor at home in North Florida and it has made my home so special to me. What an inspiring video Linda! Thank you!
I love your field trips, thank you very much for taking us inside this lovely home , what a sweet, interesting and creative couple , l love their style and collections 🥰❤️💚❤️ This was such a wonderful day to end my weekend.
Your brief little moment in the kitchen of mutual adoration and love for each other, was so special and moving. What a lovely tour of cherished native American treasures so creatively displayed
Janie and Sydney definitely have to get together! This was fascinating, Janie is not a minimalist but it has a controlled appearance that really works. I kept thinking that she needs to record the details of the history of each item, especially ones of value for her family to be good stewards, frankly, when she passes away. My mother in law thought she would last forever, we struggled with her estate. Not everyone can keep their parents belongings, and may not recognize the value or what should go to a museum. Great job Stewart, this must have been a challenge, well done.
Thank you so much for the wonderful tour! My reaction was similar to Lindas, when she saw the small boxes and units that held the tiny treasures! The entire house is lovely and filled with amazing collections.
What a lovely house full of treasures! But oh my the cricket gave me the shivers! I have a horror of them and I have no idea why! I couldn’t even touch the emoji of one!.,😳. But on a positive note, In the middle of Canada I have a Sacagawea Coin! I ran to my dresser to check if she was still there and yep right bedside my 1954 ( year I was born ) silver dollar coins. We must have received her in change when we visited Disney several years ago. I couldn’t believe it when you featured one! 🇨🇦🎄🇨🇦🎄
Janie is such a talented artist! She and her husband have a wonderful collection! Linda, what a great compliment to pay, that Janie is your role model!! She certainly has an eye and appreciation for curated items of value, both monetary and sentimental!! That takes a special eye to be able to put both of these two together, value and sentiment, and have the collection blend so seamlessly!!!
Our celebrations are transitioning as our family changes... I travel to the children, we rotate to which home. Usually we choose the mountain place for Thanksgiving. Loving it!
This brought back so many memories for me of one of my most treasured trips to NM. I've been in the chapels at Taos and Santa Fe (Loretto). I bought the most amazing silver cuff bracelet that tells the story of life thru American Indian symbols that include a bear claw and raindrops. Besides the jewelry (!), I loved gallery row. Most of all the out-of-doors is incredibly beautiful. Opened my balcony doors each morning to a view of the Sangre de Cristo mountains. Oh and discovered Frito pie. Thank you for sharing this treasured collection. Beautiful home! Happy holidays!!
An incredible video today. And I just want to give Stewart kudos for shooting it so beautifully. Really captured the warmth and uniqueness of her home. She is one special lady!
Love the intro Stewart. I lived in Santa Fe once. Christmas there is so special. I walked every street downtown & each store & the street were so uniquely & artistically decorated. Especially with a little or a lot of snow. I got a very unique armiour from Jackalope furniture. I really hated to leave there & cried all the way back to Sonoma where I grew up. It was like breaking up. 😄🥰🌲🎀
Truly a house full of gorgeous delights! When I saw the painting with the beautiful blues in the fancy carved frame above the mantle, I thought it was my favorite of all. Then you picked up the turquoise corn cob! Janie said it was made by Charlie Pratt and I thought maybe she meant Harvey Pratt. But I googled Charlie and see that he's Harvey's older brother. Both fine artists! Thanks for this tour, Linda.
The clay Rosary,it is a house Rosary,it is meant to be hung up in the home,the prayers that are typically recited in handheld Rosaries,they are just there,in the home. Meant for hanging on the wall. Rosario De Casa❤️
So excited to say, I found 3 Sacagawea coins in my collection! I also collect miniature Christmas pieces for my grandchildren to lay with. To date, I have a whole village of pieces. Thanks for a wonderful house tour….
Love the video as I do all your videos and to add I am extremely extremely lucky that my adult children live very close by so I get to see my grandchildren often❤❤🎄
Our Christmas tradition ~ our family is very small, my daughter and her family and us now. My daughter has one nonnegotiable tradition, that her boys, bc they are young and believe in Santa wake up every Christmas morning in their own home. If we are in NJ, then we go over for presents and breakfast. If we are in FL, than they fly down in the afternoon and we have Christmas dinner together and they stay with us for the week . We live 5 min from each other in NJ and see each other every weekday, but there is something so special about holiday meals together.
I am relatively new immigrant and mostly we are alone during Christmas (me, my husband and daughter). We don't have any family or friends here. I feel that we do not belong to our old countries but we do not belong here fully as well. We do not have objects, collectibles as often are shown in your videos. When you leave your old country mostly you cannot bring a lot. I don't feel connection with the objects found in America. There is no memory or tradition that I can relate to. At the moment my garden is the most real thing that exists here. I have never had garden when I lived in Europe and I can create garden in Canada from the scratch without any attachment to plants from my past. Still it needs a lot of learning because I don't have any relationships here. No mom or grandma who could teach me anything. I really like the idea that the garden should be attached to the place as shown often on your channel and I am trying to create something like that in my Canadian garden. Thank you for the inspiration.
@@LindaVater I became member of local garden club just before the pandemic and I was not able to really use this opportunity fully. I hope next year it will work better.
Kachina are Zuni indian gods that help bring something into existence ( like talavie the morning singer he sings the dawn into coming forth) I lived on the border of the Zuni rez and my boyfriend was a Zuni they are very neat people each Kachina does something different.Loved this vlog Thank you
I am in Toronto, now the time is 12, 37 Am and finished watching this very interesting video, thanks Linda, I really enjoyed it, We are going to sell our house and bought a smaller house like Janie and Bill,
A Native American once told us the importance of the cottonwood tree. According to his story Native Americans cherished the cottonwood tree, because the shape of the leaves inspired the making of tepees. If you rolled the leaves of cottonwoods, it resembles the tepee. I’m not a historical expert, but this gentleman sure inspired me.
My car's name is "Sacagawea" because I found a coin on the floor of the car when I first got it (slightly used, off-lease). She replaced "Gwendolyn"--everybody names their cars, right?
Hi Linda! I loved visiting with Janie and Bill! What a charming home. I know exactly what you are saying about children wanting to start their own traditions and I do not like it!! I guess I'm an own timer and to me its family, family, family. However I am learning to adjust! LOL! I always say give me Walton's Mountain!!! Have a wonderful day and I will see you in the next one....Hi Stewart! :)
This is my first year not hosting the huge family for Christmas. Although I completely understand, it's thrown me for a loop and am having a challenge with decorating and feeling the "spirit" in general. I think I just need another year to go by and I'll be over it for next year! Merry Christmas!
How would I go about sending you some pictures from my personal Christmas collection that I believe you would love! I call it European Ecclectic after spending 9 years in Austria!
I so enjoyed touring this lovely and artistic southwest home. She is a talented and gracious lady and you are so blessed to call her a friend and mentor.

I hate santa fe art so much.
This was a fun and interesting video. Love home and garden tours and seeing how other people live and what their interests are. The home owner is delightful!
That woman has style! It's in the details. I noticed the fawn fabric as well. Loved this. You need a shopping trip to Santa Fe Miss Linda.
I do!
Oh my goodness I truly enjoyed every minute of this tour of your friends house.

This video is on the top of my most favorite that I have seen anyone make.
Beautiful. Thank you Linda & Stewart. Really enjoyed their
Special treasures of art paintings & sculpture & stone. That's why I loved Santa Fe so much & I lived in Phoenix as a child. The Native American culture. What a lovely artistic couple.
What a beautiful garden… beautiful things inside and out. So much fun! Sending hugs prayers and kindness ❤
Wow! I absolutely loved this tour. Thanks for sharing. I am so glad that their collection did not burn up in the fire.
Enjoyable look into Bill and Janie's personal space. Thank you such a unique twist on Christmas decorating.
It is a warm and beautiful home. Thank you Linda!
A very pretty home, full of very special things. Loved the tour.

Looking forward to your Christmas decor Linda.🌲☃️🙏
What a beautiful home, and a beautiful Lady 😍 ❤
I remember the store on North May, and love to move things around, and my mother always said "it is Lucky to have a cricket in the house. 😁
Oh boy! I was hoping we would get to see inside too, and it was everything I could have wished for! Thank you! Merry Christmas to two lovely ladies and the splendid gentlemen in attendance!

I loved this tour!
Love the little items and thank you both for a lovely and most enjoyable Tour!❤
What lovely friends. Their home is charming
Such an interesting lady. What a life she is living, I feel I could sit and listen to her stories for a very long time. Thanks for sharing.
Oh my this has been my favorite tour! Beautiful!
Your brief little moment in the kitchen of mutual adoration and love for each other, was so special and moving. What a lovely tour of cherished native American treasures so creatively displayed
Thank you dear
I love Linda's holiday home tour videos. It is snowing here right now and very cold!
What a great tour through Janie & Bill’s home. They have such fun homey decor. I adore her necklace.
Janie and Sydney definitely have to get together! This was fascinating, Janie is not a minimalist but it has a controlled appearance that really works.
I kept thinking that she needs to record the details of the history of each item, especially ones of value for her family to be good stewards, frankly, when she passes away. My mother in law thought she would last forever, we struggled with her estate. Not everyone can keep their parents belongings, and may not recognize the value or what should go to a museum.
Great job Stewart, this must have been a challenge, well done.
Carefully curated…
Thank you so much for the wonderful tour! My reaction was similar to Lindas, when she saw the small boxes and units that held the tiny treasures! The entire house is lovely and filled with amazing collections.
I so enjoyed this. What a delightful friend to share her treasures with us all. Merry Christmas to you all!!
What a lovely house full of treasures! But oh my the cricket gave me the shivers! I have a horror of them and I have no idea why! I couldn’t even touch the emoji of one!.,😳. But on a positive note, In the middle of Canada I have a Sacagawea Coin! I ran to my dresser to check if she was still there and yep right bedside my 1954 ( year I was born ) silver dollar coins.

Really enjoyed her garden tour and now the inside her home. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us and Merry Christmas to you all.
Janie is such a talented artist! She and her husband have a wonderful collection! Linda, what a great compliment to pay, that Janie is your role model!!

This brought back so many memories for me of one of my most treasured trips to NM. I've been in the chapels at Taos and Santa Fe (Loretto). I bought the most amazing silver cuff bracelet that tells the story of life thru American Indian symbols that include a bear claw and raindrops. Besides the jewelry (!), I loved gallery row. Most of all the out-of-doors is incredibly beautiful. Opened my balcony doors each morning to a view of the Sangre de Cristo mountains. Oh and discovered Frito pie.
Thank you for sharing this treasured collection. Beautiful home! Happy holidays!!
An incredible video today. And I just want to give Stewart kudos for shooting it so beautifully. Really captured the warmth and uniqueness of her home. She is one special lady!
Two special people for sure!
Love the intro Stewart. I lived in Santa Fe once. Christmas there is so special. I walked every street downtown & each store & the street were so uniquely & artistically decorated. Especially with a little or a lot of snow. I got a very unique armiour from Jackalope furniture. I really hated to leave there & cried all the way back to Sonoma where I grew up. It was like breaking up. 😄🥰🌲🎀
So true
Thanks for sharing this delightful tour of your friend's home.
What a beautiful video. Really enjoyed the tour of this lovely ladies home. Such a talented lady. 😊🇨🇦🎄
She has a good taste of decor. I enjoy the tour but mine is traditional with a little twist of modern. 😜😀😜
This woman has taste and talent! Love your video trip!
Truly a house full of gorgeous delights! When I saw the painting with the beautiful blues in the fancy carved frame above the mantle, I thought it was my favorite of all.

I adore native made art and have a small collection. I just love the SW.
OMG 😊 beautiful home tour and decor,so so beautiful ❤️❤️ Love both table scapes, so beautiful ❤️❤️ Thanks for sharing ❤️🌹
I love it! I'm not minimalist about much of anything!
Janie and her husband are my favorite guests on your channel. I too want to grow up to be just like Janie! I'm 68 so I better hurry. LOL
What an interesting home tour. So many beautiful treasures and memories.
Yay...for New Mexico (a brit in the USA)
Love these beautiful Southwestern collections ❣️💙
Absolutely stunning, what a treat ❤🎄🪶
Thank you so much for sharing
Thank you for your inspiration
Love the video as I do all your videos and to add I am extremely extremely lucky that my adult children live very close by so I get to see my grandchildren often❤❤🎄
Janie is so cute! This was very enjoyable!
I thoroughly enjoyed seeing this house and the beautiful decor. I like your new intro also!
Not into that style...however I love all her treasures..beautiful lady..lovely home...❤
How interesting! Great tour🎄🎄🎄
Beautiful pieces and home!
I live in Pa. And I’ve gotten several at the laundry mat from the dollar change machine
I loved this video! Just beautiful!

A Native American once told us the importance of the cottonwood tree. According to his story Native Americans cherished the cottonwood tree, because the shape of the leaves inspired the making of tepees. If you rolled the leaves of cottonwoods, it resembles the tepee. I’m not a historical expert, but this gentleman sure inspired me.
My car's name is "Sacagawea" because I found a coin on the floor of the car when I first got it (slightly used, off-lease). She replaced "Gwendolyn"--everybody names their cars, right?
Yes! Mine is named dot!
Hi Linda! I loved visiting with Janie and Bill! What a charming home. I know exactly what you are saying about children wanting to start their own traditions and I do not like it!! I guess I'm an own timer and to me its family, family, family. However I am learning to adjust! LOL!
I always say give me Walton's Mountain!!! Have a wonderful day and I will see you in the next one....Hi Stewart! :)
This is my first year not hosting the huge family for Christmas. Although I completely understand, it's thrown me for a loop and am having a challenge with decorating and feeling the "spirit" in general. I think I just need another year to go by and I'll be over it for next year! Merry Christmas!
Good attitude!
Oh my Word, the turquoise corn!
38 and raining in Boise, idaho zone 6
How would I go about sending you some pictures from my personal Christmas collection that I believe you would love! I call it European Ecclectic after spending 9 years in Austria!
Just so you know, YOU are who I want to be when I grow up.
