What a instresting video . The room is so cozy with the glow of the fire and the sweet kitties keeping watch in the window . Hope you all stay warm and safe in this winter wonderland !
Ahhh, my favorite season is winter, beautiful with its pure white cover! And the little ones jumping with joy on it and the happy kitties in the window 💜🌷💜🌷💜🌷💜🌷💜🌷😻🐕💜❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️......
So happy you recovered! The snow and dogs made a beautiful video if nothing else. I absolutely love your antiques and that you still use most of them. Little room is sooo cozy with the fire.
Love your Keeping Room. My mom is still stitching at 87. She was an artist in oil painting. Then switched to quilting and now cross stitches. She loves her old gal Singers too. They make the most glorious sounds when sewing on them. I have one from the 50’s, and a vtg Anker which is just like the old Singers. I also have an electronic “modern” one from the 80’s which I love too. Something about a room where you can stitch by a fire while,looking at the snow really helps the long winters pass. We live far north and I love having the seasons even if just to enjoy watching the birds and other critters travel through our woods. At least we are closer to spring than not.
You are so right; there is something comforting about stitching near a stove while the snow covers the earth and the birds are feasting on corn, still, I long for Spring.
Jeri, love the pups playing at the intro. My mother, may she rest in peace, passed away in 2010. She mended socks up until the last year of her life. If I had a sock with a hole, she would mend it. I used try to throw it away, now I wish I had learned these skills from my mother. Thank you for this wonderful video. Glad you are well.
Sweet Jeri, I’m so thankful you are recovered. I would love to see you do a video about your bird feeding station where the geese were gathered in this episode. Perhaps a video on how you encourage wild birds(and squirrels) to visit your garden.
The wildlife don't need much encouragement, just a bin of cracked corn and some sunflower seeds and their all over the place! See this video about our feeding station: ruclips.net/video/gOoI4ngBsNg/видео.html
What a sweet joy to get a peek at your antique and vintage sewing treasures! I would love to someday see your hand crank machine. I have 2 hand crank Singers that I found while thifting during the pandemic. They work great! You have inspired me to look for lovely old baskets. Thank you for creative inspiration.
And the unique valuable antiques, silver and gold spools, wonderful sewing machine, the rabbit and duck friends that accompany them are amazing!❄️🐰❄️☃️❄️🦆❄️❄️❄️☃️❄️❄️❄️....
The pups are too cute! I love needle work and especially all the little accessories. I am in Love with your Singer sewing machine, the machines today are not pretty at all. Very happy to hear you and your husband are better!
So happy to hear you and James are feeling better. Ooh the puppies are so adorable and the snow sure is beautiful. Just love listening to you talk about the history of things. So very very interesting! Thank you for always sharing with us.
I love all your sewing notions and the ways you store and display them. So lovely. I have done almost no sewing for over 10 years, even though I have a room full of fabric and lots of "intentions" in my head. All my sewing things are still packed in cardboard boxes from when we moved here. I've devoted my time to the garden/farm or to family, and not to getting the inside organized enough. I don't have an artist's eye, though I do appreciate artists and art, and I'm always amazed at what people create, but also in how they create their surroundings. I'm a copy cat, I imitate, that's why I love videos like the ones you give us and all the inspiration they provide. ...We didn't get any snow, but we got the deep freeze here in NTX. Snow would have helped to protect my plants. Don't know how much I've lost in the yard yet. First time I truly needed it and the thermostat in my greenhouse failed and I already know I lost a lot of the whole purpose I wanted the greenhouse, which was to protect my tender plants. :( Time to start again I guess. ...I hope y'all are feeling much better and more restored every day! My hubby and I received the "gift" of strep throat and a cold virus during our Christmas family gatherings, but thankfully not the flu. I do love them all, family that is, but that's one annual aspect of our gathering that I don't enjoy; and it happens almost every year! We host two annual gatherings in Christmas (one for my kin and one for his kin) and get to see between 60 and 70 family and friends every year. What a blessing, honestly!! But then we often spend the end of December and the beginning of the new year trying to recover. On the bright side, it gives me time and a good excuse to go back and re-watch your videos! Though I need no excuse. I'm just following what my bible tells me to do. "Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy-meditate on these things." I studied that word, "lovely," today. Did you know that spot in scripture is the only place in the bible where that word translated "lovely" is found? It means: "friendly, grateful, acceptable." It is also translated in other bibles as "beautiful, pleasing, attractive." All of those things I find in your lovely videos!! Very worth meditating on. I'm looking forward to seeing all you bless us with this year too!! Thank you!! 🌻💐🥀
Jeri….I just love your cozy sewing room and you sharing your beautiful needle and spool cabinets along with your sewing accessories. My favorite cabinet is the one with the lovely bee hinges.❤🐝Thank you so much for sharing and stay warm.
I have always been so thankful that my mother taught me how to sew. I am a fan of the quaint antique sewing notions and everything connected with them including spool cabinets, threads, old buttons, pin cushions....all the many things used long ago in the sewing process so I especially enjoyed this video today. I have one spool cabinet with 3 drawers and another large variety that's on legs and was the perfect addition to a nook in our family room. In my sewing area/closet I have tried to use early cabinets and stacks of old fabrics ...it makes me smile when I open the door. Stay warm....glad to hear you recovered from your illness.
My mom let me sew on a machine much like the one Jeri had on her desk (with supervision!) when I was 4 years old. I still have that old machine in my possession. It does heavy weight sewing better than my modern Singer. The machine had been a tredle machine once upon a time, but later converted to an electric machine by the installation of a a small motor.
I always buy the box lots of sewing things at auctions because there is always a lovely surprise. I have acquired many treasures that way. Thank you for a fantastic video!
Your antique spool boxes aretruly wonderful! I love to buy sewing boxes in thrift shops and will occaisonally be lucky enough to find old cardboard needle holders, thimbles, or pin cushions inside! I recently had the priviledge of helping a friend's family sort through and organize thier dear mother's home after her passing. I helped care for their 100 year old Mom over her last year (she still lived in her home of 68 years) and I knew that she had followed her own mother's tradition of doing all types of needle work and sewing! I found boxes and tins full of vintage sewing supplies ans hundreds of hand embellished doilies, hankies, aprons, and tablecloths! In the attic, I unearthed a White rotary series 77 sewing machine with it's tin of attachments and manual!!! The look of absolute joy on my face as I lowered it down the attic stairs to one of the family members must have shown. She immediately offered the beautiful machine to me! None of them sew and they felt as though their Mom and Grandmother would have been much happier to have the machine go to someone who would actually use it and treasure it! So, I will now add this to my collection which includes a treddle sewing machine in a magnificent cabinet and a hand crank model! So, if you add to my fascination with old sewing things, doing crafts, and gardening my love of Tasha Tudor (whom I was lucky enough to meet) , Charles Dickens, and Beatrice Potter, and you can see why I enjoy watching your videos so much! Thank you, Geri! I will be there readily awaiting what's next!
So sweet. Had a friend give me her old sewing stash full of sweet wooden spools and things you can't buy any more. I think displaying those in baskets is a great idea. I think I will do that.❤
So many lovely treasures. Just this week I found my husband’s sock with a hole and put it aside to darn it. We have been sick also for much of January but I am beginning to get back to my art and making Valentine’s crafts which are so nice when the cold and snow keeps us in. I would like to watch a video of you painting and possibly tea with maybe Lewis Carrol or George MacDonald (my favorite author).
I do still darn socks. Sometimes I use the old darning cotton thread if it seems like it's still strong enough. Otherwise, I split 4 ply cotton yarn into 2 strands and use that. It's fun to get out the old darning eggs too!
Jeri, always a pleasure to watch your lovely and informative videos. You definitely have some special sewing treasures. I'm sure they are endlessly inspiring. Your guests will never be at a loss for questions and conversations! 🙂I also learned something today when you mentioned "mercerized" thread. I've always thought it meant that it was "better" somehow, but felt nudged to look it up to see exactly what it does mean. Interesting! It is a type of chemical bath that helps the cotton take dyes better so the colors are deeper. So thank you for mentioning the word so that I would finally check to see why it's described that way. Loved watching the pups! 😃 Dogs absolutely know how to have fun! Enjoy your sewing room. I love mine.
I'm so glad you looked up " mercerized", I meant to and never got around to it. Another expression on the threads and boxes is "boil fast" meaning the threads stay colorfast even if washed in boiling water. ( I had to look that up too!)
@@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow So many little details we don't think about. We grow so accustomed to just using them because they're familiar products to us.
I’m so glad you guys are feeling better, and how good it is to see you again!! I’ve always had a soft spot for sewing notions. How fun to look through all of your beautiful spool boxes. Your videos are just treasures indeed. They are such a wonderful treat to be enjoyed. Thanks again, and stay cozy ❤️🧵🪡
@@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow we do indeed! Now we’re having lots of rain. I’m so looking forward to spring, even though I try so very hard to appreciate every day of every season 😊🌷
Hello Jeri and critters! Wow, indeed, 10" of snow in Tenn. Thank you for sharing all your sewing boxes, threads, etc. How lovely!!! I'm sorry you were sick, but glad you're both better now.
What a winter wonderland Jeri…those pups at play. They don’t seem to mind it at all. I’m glad you are better now and thank you for showing us all the amazing antiques in your cosy little sewing corner… I love your variety of spool boxes.♥️🤍♥️
I'm so glad you are both feeling better again. I would love it if you would show more of your fabulous needle felted creatures. They just speak to me and I love how realistic you make them look. I love their vintage looking clothes and how lifelike they look. Thank you for your wonderful, interesting videos! 🥰
When my Gram passed my mother just let neighbors come in and take whatever sewing notions they wanted. I was able to get a few items. Her wooden darning ( don't know what thats called) and a wooden sewing container with some embroidery floss. I love all your antiques. When I see some of them it takes me right back to my Gram. Thank you. Glad you both are recovering. ❤
Wonderful Jeri. I love antiques & vintage items. Your old Singer sewing machine is beautiful. They are by far the best sewing machines I believe. My mum had one. It was a hand cranked machine also but my dad, being an electrician converted it for her into a foot pedal operated machine with a vintage plug, pedal and lead. It was beautiful and had an old compartment for accessories. I used it a few times and had possession of it for a good while as mum had no use for it anymore and it always had this lovely old distinctive smell about it. I think my niece ended up with it. I wish I still had it. This video is lovely and takes me back in time. Thank you. Cuddles to Titus and Stella. I do love them so.
My favorite sewiing machine will always be my little Featherweight Singer. I learned to sew on it and stitched so many of my school clothes on that trusty little trooper.
Thank you for this video made my day, glad you are on the road to recovery. Here in Wisconsin about the same amount of snow and the flu for about two weeks, gave me hope I will get better.
I get it, this flu (or whatever it is) is very stubborn and i thought it would never end; it still has lingering effects. I've no doubt we will all get through it, so hang in there!
I love to watch your channel. I always learn so much and I don’t feel alone in the things I love to do and the way I want to decorate. I am inspired to try new recipes. I recommend your channel to everyone. Do great that you Great Pyrenees and all your animals!! We love ours GP!
I can only imagine how cozy it would be to be at that little table , in front of the little fire, sewing the day away , with the snow falling outside. A friend moved and gave me her old Singer sewing machine, like yours. It is in the beautiful wood cabinet , with the box of old accessories and the original operating manual in the drawer. I have never used it. It is in what I call the sewing room , with an antique armoire and old wicker rocker. It really is just a decor piece. but I just can't let it go.
So happy that you both are feeling better! I love it when you show the inside of your home off. Fabulous items and such a cozy feel when it's snowing outside.
You have more snow in Tennessee than we have in upstate NY (not to be confused with Western NY, which does have a lot). We've had a couple of snowfalls, 8 inches a couple of weeks ago and 4 inches a few days ago. Currently only a couple of inches on the ground. But today for the first time we reached single-digit temperatures overnight. Sorry to hear that you and your husband were sick. I'm glad you're feeing better!
Good morning, love the pups playing♥️❄️♥️. There’s something so peaceful about the glistening of snow. So glad to hear you’re feeling better as we all just had CIVID over the holidays and so glad that’s behind us. I love your cozy warm sewing room🤎🤎. Oh how I’d love to find an old spool, thread box! I collect old pin cushions, threads, scissors, sock darners, vintage sewing accessories,etc and love sewing so I really love them in my sewing room.
So happy to see you and your new video…Such great sewing collections, sewing displays, sewing machines, sewing threads,needles.buttons boxes and drawers! I at one time collected all of that too! Such fun for the hunt,right!!!? So glad y’all are better and back!
I am on the western slope of Colorado. It’s just been snowing the last few weeks. I love every season, even the snow as long as I am in the side looking out. lol. I have a window seat that is so cozy to set in, stitch and watch the snow. Your spool boxes are beautiful. I love vintage sewing items.
My problem with cold weather is that I worry too much about the outside animals. Even though our donkeys and farm animals have a big barn, I'm so concerned about their welfare in freezing temps.
Glad you and husband are feeling better. Another delightful video. Thank you! I have been doing slow stitching and making little felt characters for the past week so this video was nice.
Pleased to know you're feeling stronger Jeri. This is such a cozy and interesting video. I enjoy looking at your antiques. I was surprised to see snow where you are. 💐🥀🌻
Glad that you both recovered Jeri! My poor mother was very ill over the entire holiday but has also recovered. It’s been terribly cold up and down the entire eastern coast this winter. The fire in your sewing area is very cozy looking. Before you know it spring will be here and all will renew! As you know I love when you cook and bake so I welcome that in videos …… you both stay well and God Bless…..Brian
Absolutely love your antique boxes! I also have a spool box which my late husband bought me. It’s wooden from an old store that was closing down. It’s not particularly well-made but I love it! These things become more and more precious as you get older. My button tin is an old biscuit tin which was given to my mother in the 1930s when she worked in a biscuit factory in Liverpool. It used to hold family photos. Dreadful to think I thought of throwing it out at one time! It’s now one of my favourite things. 😊
I’m so thankful you’re feeling better! I would so enjoy some tutorials on creating a beautiful garden journal , similar to your Bee journal . And of course lots more videos with your delightful practical seed sowing techniques and your journey into bee keeping ! 🥰
I loved watching your Great Pyrenees playing in the snow and the geese. I have a vintage sewing machine and I have to fix the tension. It from the 1920's. I know because I have the original sewing book. It came with a sterling thimble. I love antiques! Your house looks so cozy.
Liebe Jeri, ich bedanke mich sehr dafür, dass ich Deine Handarbeits- Schätze bewundern konnte. Durch Dich erst kann ich auch meine historisch wertvollen Bestände und Antiquitäten schätzen lernen. Ich habe soviel alte Knöpfe, Nadeln, Stick- und Nähgarne, Spitzen und Borte von meiner Mutter und Schwiegermutter geerbt und auch auf Flohmärkten und bei Ebay "rette" ich alte Schätze. Natürlich wird hier auch ständig Alles für die Kinder und Enkel repariert und gestopft. Jetzt, wo ich Deine alten Sachen bewundere, sitze ich in meinem Nähzimmer und fühle mich gerade im Paradies. Draußen ist es kalt und dunkel und ich stricke gerade Socken und bin in Gedanken bei Dir. Ich wünsche Dir nur Gesundheit, dann kannst Du weiter Deine Kreativität leben. Alles Liebe und Gute und herzliche Grüße aus Berlin sendet Dagmar
That is nice that you have inherited so many sewing items, it's funny how a simple item can bring such pleasure. Wishing you well in your sewing room in Berlin!
Jeri, thank you for your videos, they are very interesting. I would like you to show us your old dolls and tell us their stories. A big greeting from Argentina!
Did you check for covid. Flu or pneumonia. Hope he is 3:10 better soon. From the MIDWEST Do you have a space heater, you can use upstairs. My home stays cold.
@@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow supposed to warm up tomorrow and Tuesday; maybe it will help you both. I'm a homebody so it doesn't bother me that much, but I am getting a little cabin fever now. LOL. Your dogs are adorable in the snow.
Warm wishes for this new year and glad you and James are recovered from the nasty illness you had. Looking forward to your postings of any kind. Most of all I love when you show your creations and have tea with your sweet mismatched china pieces 😊
I love snow since it is a rarity where I live. Your puppies looked so happy playing in the snow, so sweet. I love your collection of vintage sewing boxes. Now I'm going to be on the lookout for one. I'm also glad that you all are feeling better.
I have a commercial 5 spool drawer, plus needle drawer, box from my great grandfather’s ( and also granddaddy’s) dry goods store. I’m not a great seamstress but still keep my threads in it. A useful, practical and pretty heirloom ! Great conversation piece, too!
So happy you both are feeling better! We have snow also, but I wasn't able to get my poppy seeds out, as I was not home...I have this feeling this won't be our last snow. This view of your spool cabinets touches my heart. I have a few myself, and they are used for my sewing tools. The coolest one that I bought, at an auction, was still full of the store stock, looked brand new. I have a tall one, that I use as an end table, bought at our "Big Flea", I saw it down the aisle and couldn't get there fast enough, and grabbed the tag as someone else came up, she asked if I was going to buy it, I said for sure! I was raised by a seamstress, and am the only sibling that sews, and it all makes my heart smile. These aging fingers still push a needle. Happy New Year!
What a marvelous find at the auction! It sounds like you have a wonderful collection and you put it to good use. My mother was an embroiderer, seamstress and quilter. All the women in our family took to needlework.
I have always wanted a spool cabinet but have been unable to find one in my price range. Maybe one day, Thank you so much for showing us the ones you have.
Hello Jeri, so glad you and James have recovered. Glad, also, that we did not get as much snow as you nor what was predicted for us. I can tolerate it somewhat, but Charles has a hard time. Although the extreme humidity we always have, he likes. ") Enjoyed this video so much. The Brainerd cabinets were so lovely, such detail that is never seen now days. Several years I have been looking for a spool cabinet, went to an auction a few years ago and the Star, J&P , 4 drawers they had sold for near $700. The person I was bidding against I picked up quickly that they would pay whatever, so I stopped at $500. I always get into some trouble after watching some of your videos, as I go shopping on line to see what I can find. ")))) As I am preparing to sow some sweet peas in the next few weeks, I did rewatch that video you have. Appreciation for all the time, history lessons, and joy your videos give. In Joy
Just so you know, there are Six different Star Spool Cabinets on on Ebay right now! ( starting at $175) Hope I don't get you into too much trouble......
Getting ideas from your videos is not really trouble, ") just an excuse to go on the hunt, of which I did and negotiated a fair price for one of the Star spool cabinets. So exciting. Thanks.@@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow
Started the year with a buster video. Absolutely loved it, already one of my many favorites. These cabinets are hard to find. Im so lucky I have two and got them very reasonable. Love everything you post thank you. Found a sock wood mender in one drawer very very old.
Such a cozy vlog. The dogs look like they enjoy the snow. I grew up in Georgia. So snow was rare. My grandfather was from North Dakota, he'd say "You have no idea how terrible snow can be"....I still love snow nonetheless ❤
One of my favorite subjects! I also collect antique & vintage sewing notions & ephemera. Also have a beautiful Coats Mile-End spool cabinet. It's unique because somewhere along the line, someone very expertly painted in the carved flower design on the drawer corners. Love it!
You have very interesting antique sewing treasures and your knowledge of them is quite profound, Jeri. I enjoyed learning. That old black Singer sewing machine is strikingly beautiful. Glad to learn it's still functional.
HI JERI,HAPPY YOU ARE BOTH ON THE MEND,THE SNOW LOOKED BEAUTIFUL THE PUPS LOVED IT THEY WHERE HAVING A GREAT TIME, I DONT KNOW WHAT IT IS ABOUT COTTON REALS I LIKE TO DISPLAY THEM,THANKYOU .TAKE CARE ,XX
I'm so glad you guys are feeling better. ❤ We live in Kodak and have a lot of snow, coming from Northwest Indiana I had enough snow there as well, but it is beautiful. Next week 70 and rain so hopefully the flooding won't be too bad. (it always comes with this weather in winter) Lovely video as usual!
Hi Jeri ! I bet the snow was a surprise! it sure has been cold , thankful we are keeping warm ! I have my great grandmother's wood sewing box it has 4 drawers for the spool drawer it does have the separate, with nice pretty little drawer pulls and the wording on each drawer is readable. Right now I have some necklaces and bracelets in it ! Love your cozy room! Blessings Paula
Thanks for sharing your beautiful sewing area and spool cabinets! 🥰😍❤️I have wanted one for years and years but the ones I have found are many hundreds of $$$. Maybe one day I will find one in my budget. 😊
I loved looking at all the vintage sewing notions and have desired a spool cabinets myself. Haven't found one in my budget though. I would pay $200 but I normally see them for $4-600. Glad to hear you and James are feeling better.

I can remember my mom darning socks using a green blown glass darner... I wish I had it.
My mother used a light bulb LOL.@@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow
I think I could spend hours upon hours just exploring your stuff! Hahaha Lovely boxes! I’m glad you and James are feeling better!
Boxes inside boxes inside tins... it's fun! Sometimes I forget what's here until I go exploring through the drawers.
Sweet Jeri, I’m so thankful you are recovered.
I would love to see you do a video about your bird feeding station where the geese were gathered in this episode. Perhaps a video on how you encourage wild birds(and squirrels) to visit your garden.
The wildlife don't need much encouragement, just a bin of cracked corn and some sunflower seeds and their all over the place! See this video about our feeding station: ruclips.net/video/gOoI4ngBsNg/видео.html
What a sweet joy to get a peek at your antique and vintage sewing treasures! I would love to someday see your hand crank machine. I have 2 hand crank Singers that I found while thifting during the pandemic. They work great!
You have inspired me to look for lovely old baskets. Thank you for creative inspiration.
Oh I love that hand crank machine! It actually stitches leather with ease. So glad you found 2.
And the unique valuable antiques, silver and gold spools, wonderful sewing machine, the rabbit and duck friends that accompany them are amazing!❄️🐰❄️☃️❄️🦆❄️❄️❄️☃️❄️❄️❄️....
Nothing in this world us sweeter than seeing dogs play❤️
Agree
They just love the freezing temps and all the slush, ice and snow... it's crazy!
The pups are too cute! I love needle work and especially all the little accessories. I am in Love with your Singer sewing machine, the machines today are not pretty at all. Very happy to hear you and your husband are better!
Sewing machines were once a thing of beauty, I wonder why they stopped producing artful machines.

I still mend socks. Love it.
Yeah, that's good!
A stunning collection and so beautiful. It’s all art to me.
Indeed, you have some wonderful item and collections... love all your videos!
Oh my heart is full. The sounds the drawers makes are wonderful!
This was another wonderful video so full of your knowledge of your treasures. I never get tired of listening to you speak. 🥰
Jeri….I just love your cozy sewing room and you sharing your beautiful needle and spool cabinets along with your sewing accessories. My favorite cabinet is the one with the lovely bee hinges.❤🐝Thank you so much for sharing and stay warm.
I couldn't believe a spool cabinet could have Bee Brackets! I was lucky to find it.
I have always been so thankful that my mother taught me how to sew. I am a fan of the quaint antique sewing notions and everything connected with them including spool cabinets, threads, old buttons, pin cushions....all the many things used long ago in the sewing process so I especially enjoyed this video today.

My mom taught me some, but the real lessons came from a great Home Ec. teacher in junior high. Your sewing room sounds like a treat!
My mom let me sew on a machine much like the one Jeri had on her desk (with supervision!) when I was 4 years old. I still have that old machine in my possession. It does heavy weight sewing better than my modern Singer. The machine had been a tredle machine once upon a time, but later converted to an electric machine by the installation of a a small motor.
I always buy the box lots of sewing things at auctions because there is always a lovely surprise. I have acquired many treasures that way. Thank you for a fantastic video!
Thats a good place to pick up sewing items, and estate sales too.
Your antique spool boxes aretruly wonderful! I love to buy sewing boxes in thrift shops and will occaisonally be lucky enough to find old cardboard needle holders, thimbles, or pin cushions inside! I recently had the priviledge of helping a friend's family sort through and organize thier dear mother's home after her passing. I helped care for their 100 year old Mom over her last year (she still lived in her home of 68 years) and I knew that she had followed her own mother's tradition of doing all types of needle work and sewing! I found boxes and tins full of vintage sewing supplies ans hundreds of hand embellished doilies, hankies, aprons, and tablecloths! In the attic, I unearthed a White rotary series 77 sewing machine with it's tin of attachments and manual!!! The look of absolute joy on my face as I lowered it down the attic stairs to one of the family members must have shown. She immediately offered the beautiful machine to me! None of them sew and they felt as though their Mom and Grandmother would have been much happier to have the machine go to someone who would actually use it and treasure it! So, I will now add this to my collection which includes a treddle sewing machine in a magnificent cabinet and a hand crank model! So, if you add to my fascination with old sewing things, doing crafts, and gardening my love of Tasha Tudor (whom I was lucky enough to meet) , Charles Dickens, and Beatrice Potter, and you can see why I enjoy watching your videos so much! Thank you, Geri! I will be there readily awaiting what's next!
How fun, like a treasure hunt!
Jeri, your sewing area is so cute!
So sweet. Had a friend give me her old sewing stash full of sweet wooden spools and things you can't buy any more. I think displaying those in baskets is a great idea. I think I will do that.❤
Good morning Jerri, great to see and hear from you again.
Blessings to you.
So many lovely treasures. Just this week I found my husband’s sock with a hole and put it aside to darn it. We have been sick also for much of January but I am beginning to get back to my art and making Valentine’s crafts which are so nice when the cold and snow keeps us in. I would like to watch a video of you painting and possibly tea with maybe Lewis Carrol or George MacDonald (my favorite author).
Valentine crafts sounds very delightful.... Glad you are feeling better as well.
I was planing on working a few paintings in future videos.
I do still darn socks. Sometimes I use the old darning cotton thread if it seems like it's still strong enough. Otherwise, I split 4 ply cotton yarn into 2 strands and use that. It's fun to get out the old darning eggs too!
Love the Winter scene and animals that are enjoying the snow.
Glad to see the birds and geese are warm and have food feeders.
Jeri, always a pleasure to watch your lovely and informative videos. You definitely have some special sewing treasures. I'm sure they are endlessly inspiring. Your guests will never be at a loss for questions and conversations! 🙂I also learned something today when you mentioned "mercerized" thread. I've always thought it meant that it was "better" somehow, but felt nudged to look it up to see exactly what it does mean. Interesting! It is a type of chemical bath that helps the cotton take dyes better so the colors are deeper. So thank you for mentioning the word so that I would finally check to see why it's described that way. Loved watching the pups! 😃 Dogs absolutely know how to have fun! Enjoy your sewing room. I love mine.
I'm so glad you looked up " mercerized", I meant to and never got around to it. Another expression on the threads and boxes is "boil fast" meaning the threads stay colorfast even if washed in boiling water. ( I had to look that up too!)
@@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow So many little details we don't think about. We grow so accustomed to just using them because they're familiar products to us.
Love all your lovely videos look forward to each one God bless!
I’m so glad you guys are feeling better, and how good it is to see you again!! I’ve always had a soft spot for sewing notions. How fun to look through all of your beautiful spool boxes. Your videos are just treasures indeed. They are such a wonderful treat to be enjoyed. Thanks again, and stay cozy ❤️🧵🪡
I'm guessing you have this cold snap up in Kentucky as well, Hot cider!
@@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow we do indeed! Now we’re having lots of rain. I’m so looking forward to spring, even though I try so very hard to appreciate every day of every season 😊🌷
They're having fun in the snow 🐕⛄️❄️☃️🐕 Stay warm in your cosy room.
Hello Jeri and critters! Wow, indeed, 10" of snow in Tenn. Thank you for sharing all your sewing boxes, threads, etc. How lovely!!! I'm sorry you were sick, but glad you're both better now.
What a winter wonderland Jeri…those pups at play. They don’t seem to mind it at all. I’m glad you are better now and thank you for showing us all the amazing antiques in your cosy little sewing corner… I love your variety of spool boxes.♥️🤍♥️
They lay in the ice like geese, they love it!
I'm so glad you are both feeling better again. I would love it if you would show more of your fabulous needle felted creatures. They just speak to me and I love how realistic you make them look. I love their vintage looking clothes and how lifelike they look. Thank you for your wonderful, interesting videos! 🥰
Gladly, I love to show my Hopalong Hollowfolk!
When my Gram passed my mother just let neighbors come in and take whatever sewing notions they wanted. I was able to get a few items. Her wooden darning ( don't know what thats called) and a wooden sewing container with some embroidery floss.
I love all your antiques. When I see some of them it takes me right back to my Gram. Thank you. Glad you both are recovering. ❤
Darning egg? I have one.
@@hyacinth4368 thank you
Wonderful Jeri. I love antiques & vintage items. Your old Singer sewing machine is beautiful. They are by far the best sewing machines I believe. My mum had one. It was a hand cranked machine also but my dad, being an electrician converted it for her into a foot pedal operated machine with a vintage plug, pedal and lead. It was beautiful and had an old compartment for accessories. I used it a few times and had possession of it for a good while as mum had no use for it anymore and it always had this lovely old distinctive smell about it. I think my niece ended up with it. I wish I still had it. This video is lovely and takes me back in time. Thank you.
Cuddles to Titus and Stella. I do love them so.
My favorite sewiing machine will always be my little Featherweight Singer. I learned to sew on it and stitched so many of my school clothes on that trusty little trooper.
Thank you for this video made my day, glad you are on the road to recovery. Here in Wisconsin about the same amount of snow and the flu for about two weeks, gave me hope I will get better.
I get it, this flu (or whatever it is) is very stubborn and i thought it would never end; it still has lingering effects. I've no doubt we will all get through it, so hang in there!
I love to watch your channel. I always learn so much and I don’t feel alone in the things I love to do and the way I want to decorate. I am inspired to try new recipes. I recommend your channel to everyone. Do great that you Great Pyrenees and all your animals!! We love ours GP!
Thank you! GP's are wonderful dogs. The fellow in the red coat is quite a senior citizen now, at age 13. The other boys are only a year old.
Glad you're both feeling better & stronger-God Bless you and your Loved Ones always ❤❤❤
LOVE the intro and all the rest- thank you!
I can only imagine how cozy it would be to be at that little table , in front of the little fire, sewing the day away , with the snow falling outside. A friend moved and gave me her old Singer sewing machine, like yours. It is in the beautiful wood cabinet , with the box of old accessories and the original operating manual in the drawer. I have never used it. It is in what I call the sewing room , with an antique armoire and old wicker rocker. It really is just a decor piece. but I just can't let it go.
You might want to give it a go, the old machine that is; sometimes they stitch much better than the new ones.
@@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow you may have inspired me to try
That was very interesting and it was lovely to see the figs, the cats and the snow too xxx❤
What a wonderful collection of items used in days gone by.
Gorgeous old cabinets. Glad you are feeling better.
Oh how I enjoyed this video. Thank you so much ~ Janet 😘
You too Janet!
Wow looks so different when it has been kissed by the snow.
I love this video!
So happy that you both are feeling better! I love it when you show the inside of your home off. Fabulous items and such a cozy feel when it's snowing outside.
You have more snow in Tennessee than we have in upstate NY (not to be confused with Western NY, which does have a lot). We've had a couple of snowfalls, 8 inches a couple of weeks ago and 4 inches a few days ago. Currently only a couple of inches on the ground. But today for the first time we reached single-digit temperatures overnight. Sorry to hear that you and your husband were sick. I'm glad you're feeing better!
It was certainly a surprise storm, temps still quite low but I see the sun peeking through today.
Love seeing your great collections! I appreciate being able to see such glorious antiques! As a child,😂 I grew up with a some.
It's magical with the snow!
Good morning, love the pups playing♥️❄️♥️. There’s something so peaceful about the glistening of snow. So glad to hear you’re feeling better as we all just had CIVID over the holidays and so glad that’s behind us. I love your cozy warm sewing room🤎🤎. Oh how I’d love to find an old spool, thread box! I collect old pin cushions, threads, scissors, sock darners, vintage sewing accessories,etc and love sewing so I really love them in my sewing room.
The prices of the Spool cabinets have gone thru the roof! I'm glad there are still small sewing collectibles at good prices.
@@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow I agree so am happy with the small items🤎. If it’s meant to be, hopefully one day will find one in my meager budget 😂
So happy to see you and your new video…Such great sewing collections, sewing displays, sewing machines, sewing threads,needles.buttons boxes and drawers! I at one time collected all of that too! Such fun for the hunt,right!!!? So glad y’all are better and back!
I am on the western slope of Colorado. It’s just been snowing the last few weeks. I love every season, even the snow as long as I am in the side looking out. lol.
I have a window seat that is so cozy to set in, stitch and watch the snow. Your spool boxes are beautiful. I love vintage sewing items.
My problem with cold weather is that I worry too much about the outside animals. Even though our donkeys and farm animals have a big barn, I'm so concerned about their welfare in freezing temps.
Glad you and husband are feeling better. Another delightful video. Thank you! I have been doing slow stitching and making little felt characters for the past week so this video was nice.
I'm glad that you two are feeling better. Thanks for another interesting video.
Love your videos ❤❤❤
💟 love watching your videos and all that you create in your life. such beautiful and magical things.
Pleased to know you're feeling stronger Jeri. This is such a cozy and interesting video. I enjoy looking at your antiques. I was surprised to see snow where you are. 💐🥀🌻
Glad that you both recovered Jeri! My poor mother was very ill over the entire holiday but has also recovered. It’s been terribly cold up and down the entire eastern coast this winter. The fire in your sewing area is very cozy looking. Before you know it spring will be here and all will renew! As you know I love when you cook and bake so I welcome that in videos …… you both stay well and God Bless…..Brian
Give your mother a hug for me; we can relate to that miserable illness, it really takes a lot out of a person.
Absolutely love your antique boxes! I also have a spool box which my late husband bought me. It’s wooden from an old store that was closing down. It’s not particularly well-made but I love it! These things become more and more precious as you get older. My button tin is an old biscuit tin which was given to my mother in the 1930s when she worked in a biscuit factory in Liverpool. It used to hold family photos. Dreadful to think I thought of throwing it out at one time! It’s now one of my favourite things. 😊
That biscuit tin is a treasure!
I’m so thankful you’re feeling better! I would so enjoy some tutorials on creating a beautiful garden journal , similar to your Bee journal . And of course lots more videos with your delightful practical seed sowing techniques and your journey into bee keeping ! 🥰
Will do!!
Fascinating stuff! I never tire of your collection tours ❤
Love your home, it is like a museum of wonderful things. Love you videos also, so very interesting.
Vous nous avez fait entrer dans votre magnifique royaume qui regorge de trésors merci à vous ❤
Thank you for sharing your treasures with us! Beautiful. ❤
I loved watching your Great Pyrenees playing in the snow and the geese. I have a vintage sewing machine and I have to fix the tension. It from the 1920's. I know because I have the original sewing book. It came with a sterling thimble. I love antiques! Your house looks so cozy.
I've had to do the same on my featherweight Singer, many times
Thanks for showing us your treasures! You know that I love watching your cooking videos so more of those please!
So many interesting and beautiful items!
Liebe Jeri, ich bedanke mich sehr dafür, dass ich Deine Handarbeits- Schätze bewundern konnte. Durch Dich erst kann ich auch meine historisch wertvollen Bestände und Antiquitäten schätzen lernen. Ich habe soviel alte Knöpfe, Nadeln, Stick- und Nähgarne, Spitzen und Borte von meiner Mutter und Schwiegermutter geerbt und auch auf Flohmärkten und bei Ebay "rette" ich alte Schätze. Natürlich wird hier auch ständig Alles für die Kinder und Enkel repariert und gestopft. Jetzt, wo ich Deine alten Sachen bewundere, sitze ich in meinem Nähzimmer und fühle mich gerade im Paradies. Draußen ist es kalt und dunkel und ich stricke gerade Socken und bin in Gedanken bei Dir. Ich wünsche Dir nur Gesundheit, dann kannst Du weiter Deine Kreativität leben. Alles Liebe und Gute und herzliche Grüße aus Berlin sendet Dagmar
That is nice that you have inherited so many sewing items, it's funny how a simple item can bring such pleasure. Wishing you well in your sewing room in Berlin!
Thank you for sharing with us❤
Those old spool cabinets are wonderful. We just got one out of storage and I cant wait to use it. Thanks for sharing!
Glad you’re feeling better.xx🐝🐝🇬🇧
Jeri, thank you for your videos, they are very interesting. I would like you to show us your old dolls and tell us their stories. A big greeting from Argentina!
Ok will do, sometime soon.
What a fun video! I loved exploring all the wonderful treasures in your charming sewing room. It's full of all the great "feels"!!! -Sharon ❤️
How beautiful. My husband is still fighting a cold - going on 3 weeks now with a terrible cough. So glad you are feeling better.
Did you check for covid. Flu or pneumonia. Hope he is 3:10 better soon. From the MIDWEST
Do you have a space heater, you can use upstairs.
My home stays cold.
spaghetti sounds good. But also Chilli or stew or soup.
We have 10 ft ceilings and a space heater just won''t work in my real studio, I wish! We had the Flu, still not 100%
I know how your hubby feels, it's a long lasting virus.
@@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow supposed to warm up tomorrow and Tuesday; maybe it will help you both. I'm a homebody so it doesn't bother me that much, but I am getting a little cabin fever now. LOL. Your dogs are adorable in the snow.
I'm so happy for you both- you have a lil bit of Heaven on earth❤❤❤
I am happy you are better. So many are sick. The dogs love that snow. It is so nice to see your farm and animals. Such a nice video.
Warm wishes for this new year and glad you and James are recovered from the nasty illness you had. Looking forward to your postings of any kind. Most of all I love when you show your creations and have tea with your sweet mismatched china pieces 😊
So happy you are better🌸
I love snow since it is a rarity where I live. Your puppies looked so happy playing in the snow, so sweet. I love your collection of vintage sewing boxes. Now I'm going to be on the lookout for one.
I'm also glad that you all are feeling better.
I have a commercial 5 spool drawer, plus needle drawer, box from my great grandfather’s ( and also granddaddy’s) dry goods store. I’m not a great seamstress but still keep my threads in it. A useful, practical and pretty heirloom ! Great conversation piece, too!
WOW, lucky you, sounds wonderful!
So happy you both are feeling better! We have snow also, but I wasn't able to get my poppy seeds out, as I was not home...I have this feeling this won't be our last snow. This view of your spool cabinets touches my heart. I have a few myself, and they are used for my sewing tools. The coolest one that I bought, at an auction, was still full of the store stock, looked brand new. I have a tall one, that I use as an end table, bought at our "Big Flea", I saw it down the aisle and couldn't get there fast enough, and grabbed the tag as someone else came up, she asked if I was going to buy it, I said for sure! I was raised by a seamstress, and am the only sibling that sews, and it all makes my heart smile. These aging fingers still push a needle. Happy New Year!
What a marvelous find at the auction! It sounds like you have a wonderful collection and you put it to good use. My mother was an embroiderer, seamstress and quilter. All the women in our family took to needlework.
Thankyou for another interesting & fun video. Sorry to hear you all was sick but glad to know you all are better.
So happy you’re both feeling better! Beautiful video as always inspiring ❤
I have always wanted a spool cabinet but have been unable to find one in my price range. Maybe one day, Thank you so much for showing us the ones you have.
Keep an eye on ebay and Facebook Marketplace, something good may turn up!
Hello Jeri, so glad you and James have recovered. Glad, also, that we did not get as much snow as you nor what was predicted for us. I can tolerate it somewhat, but Charles has a hard time. Although the extreme humidity we always have, he likes. ") Enjoyed this video so much. The Brainerd cabinets were so lovely, such detail that is never seen now days. Several years I have been looking for a spool cabinet, went to an auction a few years ago and the Star, J&P , 4 drawers they had sold for near $700. The person I was bidding against I picked up quickly that they would pay whatever, so I stopped at $500. I always get into some trouble after watching some of your videos, as I go shopping on line to see what I can find. ")))) As I am preparing to sow some sweet peas in the next few weeks, I did rewatch that video you have. Appreciation for all the time, history lessons, and joy your videos give. In Joy
Just so you know, there are Six different Star Spool Cabinets on on Ebay right now! ( starting at $175) Hope I don't get you into too much trouble......
Getting ideas from your videos is not really trouble, ") just an excuse to go on the hunt, of which I did and negotiated a fair price for one of the Star spool cabinets. So exciting. Thanks.@@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow
Happy hugs and health for the New Year. Old things are the best, of me anyway.
Started the year with a buster video. Absolutely loved it, already one of my many favorites. These cabinets are hard to find. Im so lucky I have two and got them very reasonable. Love everything you post thank you. Found a sock wood mender in one drawer very very old.
Such a cozy vlog. The dogs look like they enjoy the snow. I grew up in Georgia. So snow was rare. My grandfather was from North Dakota, he'd say "You have no idea how terrible snow can be"....I still love snow nonetheless ❤
Your grandfather sounds like me, when I was telling my kids, "I used to walk to school with the snow up to my waist!"
@@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow ❤️
I'm glad you're back. I love old sewing items too so this was a fun video.
One of my favorite subjects! I also collect antique & vintage sewing notions & ephemera. Also have a beautiful Coats Mile-End spool cabinet. It's unique because somewhere along the line, someone very expertly painted in the carved flower design on the drawer corners. Love it!
Wonderful!
You have very interesting antique sewing treasures and your knowledge of them is quite profound, Jeri. I enjoyed learning. That old black Singer sewing machine is strikingly beautiful. Glad to learn it's still functional.
The old Singer is great except that it has no reverse.
@@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow Would enjoy watching you use it.
I love the hardware on the furniture
HI JERI,HAPPY YOU ARE BOTH ON THE MEND,THE SNOW LOOKED BEAUTIFUL THE PUPS LOVED IT THEY WHERE HAVING A GREAT TIME, I DONT KNOW WHAT IT IS ABOUT COTTON REALS I LIKE TO DISPLAY THEM,THANKYOU .TAKE CARE ,XX
I'm so glad you guys are feeling better. ❤ We live in Kodak and have a lot of snow, coming from Northwest Indiana I had enough snow there as well, but it is beautiful. Next week 70 and rain so hopefully the flooding won't be too bad. (it always comes with this weather in winter) Lovely video as usual!
Oh my gosh! We will finally fill our pond and the grass will turn green again!
Hi Jeri ! I bet the snow was a surprise! it sure has been cold , thankful we are keeping warm ! I have my great grandmother's wood sewing box it has 4 drawers for the spool drawer it does have the separate, with nice pretty little drawer pulls and the wording on each drawer is readable. Right now I have some necklaces and bracelets in it ! Love your cozy room! Blessings Paula
Wonderful!
Thanks for sharing your beautiful sewing area and spool cabinets! 🥰😍❤️I have wanted one for years and years but the ones I have found are many hundreds of $$$. Maybe one day I will find one in my budget. 😊
Keep your eyes open for one, all of mine were purchased at good prices. Ebay is sometimes pretty good.
J'adore 😍 merci beaucoup pour ce partage ❤
So lovely!
I loved looking at all the vintage sewing notions and have desired a spool cabinets myself. Haven't found one in my budget though. I would pay $200 but I normally see them for $4-600. Glad to hear you and James are feeling better.
Keep an eye on Ebay, they have some good deals.
