Yes, you are Stephanie!! But you're special enough to completely deserve Philip. I can't explain how happy I am that you found each other, or how much I'm rooting for you both to stay together and live happily ever-after!
You are both very blessed and very lucky to meet up and share your life together. I remember Stephanie in 2019 or so when I started watching your blogs you mentioned how much you missed not receiving a Valentines or having someone special send you one. Not exactly in those words but that idea. I’m so happy for you both😊💕🌈🇨🇦
I did comment before that I was so happy you both found each other because I believe you are a perfect match. May all your Valentine days be as happy as you are now! 🌹❤️
Love the lamp! My partner and I met when he was 27 and I was 46. That was 28 years ago and we are still happy and together. We hope to come to la land someday soon and meet all of you. Happy Valentine’s Day
Big sign…My heart melted. Not only because you made the candlestick into a lamp, but when you said , “Happy Valentines Day Darling.” It’s amazing how much such as this little lamp can become something so precious as a gift to your loved one. My first gift was from my first love when I was 16, he made it in woodworking class. It was a heart with his name & my name, painted in red and at the top held on by two prongs was the word love. That was over 49 years ago and even as I write this, I am tearing up. Unfortunately, my first love ended before graduation, but I have never forgotten that lovely gift. I also have not forgotten my first love.
It would be very interesting if he read this and replied! Perhaps he too never forgot you? Stranger things have happened in life! That is a beautiful memory!
Oh how I love you Philip, you are so kind and so sweet to your beautiful Stephenie, what a gorgeous gift and it’s made with love and that is the most important thing, you are a lucky man to have Stephenie, but Stephenie is a lucky woman to have you, so a match made in heaven, loads of love to you both xxxxxxxxx😘❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
So talented, love it. Well done Phillip. The best gifts, in my humble opinion, are the ones that are made just for the person you are gifting it to. Love the editing and Stephanie’s response. I was smiling along and clapping that she loved it. Hugs to you Phillip and Stephanie. Happy Valentine’s Day. ❤️
How thoughtful and lovely. Well done, Philip. But, I think I can speak for many that when you said, "Happy Valentine's Day Darling", the swoon meter went off the charts. You are both so lovely. Wishing you many years of Valentine's Days together!
So sweet! A gift from the heart. I used to watch my step Dad make lampshades from fabric and either repurpose a base from something old, or commission something from the woodturner. As he was a set designer for TV and interior designer, they were always pretty amazing. He would put everything together like you did Philip. Well done! My step Dad was Hungarian and often spoke about Herend porcelain and how the painting was different on each piece and all done by hand. Sometimes the painting might cover over a little imperfection in the porcelain and so a random moth or butterfly was carefully placed. I agree about the lamp shade needing to be bigger. The width/height of the base needs to be balanced by a wider based shade. Something will turn up. It always does :-)
How lovely Phillip! You are such a nice young man and Stephanie is a gem. I was so happy to hear that you two are a couple. I wish you many more Valentines Days!!!
Truly a thoughtful gift, and it was wonderful to see Stephanie receive it. I've restored or created many lamps over the decades, and with those plastic candle drip casings, I spray them a cream or off-white, and then age them a bit with burnt umber oil paint, smearing it about and removing most of it, just enough left to tone it. After it dries, I spray it with a flat polyurethane. Looks just like the ones on lamps from the twenties and thirties. Also, here in the states, when you pass the cord through the lamp base, you tie a knot so that there will never be pressure on the cord connection to the socket. That's particularly important with floor lamps. Great to see you back, and I look forward to more of your vlogs.
I want to convert some favorite lamps from US plugs to UK, as I now live there, but can't find very good tutorials,s on it for a complete beginner. Any suggestions?
@@marymcandrew7667 I've never converted US plugs to UK, but if the sockets are the same, you would just need to get a cord with an attached plug, like the one Philip uses in this video, and rewire the lamp. But if UK sockets are different, you'd have to replace those too. There are some decent tutorials on Ebay, and they stress safety, so that's good. If you really aren't comfortable doing it yourself, you might call an electrician and see if they can do it for you. Hope this helps a little.
Usually the cord comes with the plug attached. If you take apart the old lamp it will be very obvious how to wire the new one in. Just be sure to match the colors of the old and new wires.
What a thoughtful and great gift. I was wondering, have you thought of ever doing videos on the following two topics: 1) How to set up a proper afternoon tea table. 2) A video comparing and contrasting how different countries/times set their tables. Keep up the great work!
Goodness! Time goes by so fast! Two years! The lamp is sweet and beautiful - thank you for sharing. And if you all ever get tired of the cache pot behind you - it might want to come live with me! Lol!
Philip, you did an amazing and creative gift for Stephanie. Perfectly suited for her. You are so good to her and she to you. I'm so happy you have each other as Valentine's. My hubby and I just celebrated our 37th Valentine together. May you celebrate many more together.
Philip my heart melted when I saw what you took the time to make for Steph on Valentine’s Day this year , I think you are a very special man with a heart of love and kindness which is such a precious thing , Much love for the Isle of Wight ,UK ,,, Lesley xxxxxxxxx
What a gorgeous thoughtful gift and soulful gesture for the Queen of your heart Philip. What a treat to watch. Happy more Valentine Days to come for the gorgeous beautiful two of you 💕💕🍷
Thank you for sharing this sweet Valentine's Day moment with us. It's beautiful. All of it--the lamp, your thoughtful planning to surprise Stephanie, her joyful reaction, and the obvious love you share for each other.
It is the little things that tell people just how much you truly love them. Details as well are what makes everything stand out in the mind, and in the heart. Well done Philip...when a lady starts saying, "it matches my"....you know it has made an impression
Such a beautiful gift! I love how special that Steph gets to watch later all the thought and time that went into her Valentine!! Your voice was like an old movie when you told her Happy Valentines Day darling!! Love yall! Thanks for the video!

Philip, I love the video. I actually know how to do this, but because we can see what a beautiful soul you are and how clearly it chimes in your voice, I so enjoyed it. What a delight to have the opportunity to view. Thanks!
So beautiful she will love it! You are very blessed that you had such wonderful grandparents from all the stories you have shared with us you have learned a lot from them! You and Stephanie are such a wonderful couple have a great Valentines Day!
@GaslitWorld f. Melissa B I think Jason and Lisa will remain friends as she has a good relationship with her ex Lenny Kravitz. I’m sure they will put their children first and behave accordingly.
Y'all have a rare and special relationship of love and friendship, so much in common. It shows and the fact you have shared it with the world is a beautiful thing. 😊 Pax Christi 🙏
What a sweet wonderful gift and it’s doubley special because you made it yourself. Knew Stephanie would love it. You are a very special person Phillip.
I love it so much! You’re the kindest, most thoughtful man and I’m a very lucky woman ❤️
