I have taken this magazine for over 23 years and still look forward to every issue. I have subscribed to many others and let them go but I will always love the beauty and care put into every issue of this magazine. I especially love the British issue each year as my youngest daughter and family lived in England for 16 years and I have such fond memories of my many visits there Thank you "Victoria".
Loved your video and wise parental thoughts. Your message resonated with me today as my wonderful 14 year old daughter, in her rush to get out of the house to meet the school bus this morning, knocked her heavy violin music stand into my antique fire screen and then sent a glass jar of salsa crashing to the stone kitchen floor as she rushed for the hand sanitizer . She apologized on her way out the door, but I did not see the mess immediately...until I came back home from walking her to the bus stop and then had steam coming from my ears! I was also abrupt with her this afternoon and apologized this evening, as we had a good talk on the importance of getting things prepared the night before so tornadoes are not produced on school mornings. Kudos! Your new viewer, Paige
Thank you for sharing that story. The most powerful tools for any parent are love, apologies, and a sense of humor! I’m glad to have you as a new viewer!
SO true, Mary! They say one of the most important things you can do as a parent, is to teach your children to take time to enjoy life. Enjoy every moment of the holiday season, starting now.
I'm glad you went back to get them roses. God knew what He was doing when he created flowers. There's just something about fresh flowers that puts a smile on our face. 🙂
Hi Mary, such a lovely book, I had to order it. I agree with you taking your time and decorating early. Beautiful roses! I'm sure they brought you much joy. Thank you for sharing this video. Have a Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃🍁🍂🌹
Thank you gor another great book review! I enjoyed part 1 so much, I purchased the book. I plan on making the ornaments too. Thank you for sending the link, the molds & book just arrived. Your closing message...so true. ❤ Looking forward to your next video! 😊 Have a great week Mary!
Thanks for sharing your ideas. Wishing you all health, love, and profound work in the area you deeply enjoy. The way you show, enjoying heartly, on things you do! Sharing with the public 'ideas' is a wonderful gift! Happy Holidays! We hope the weather situation gets better. 😊🎃🎄🎆🎈
1) Fabulous Intro 2) Fabulous review, as always 3) Be Thankful my children don’t know how many classes I skipped in HS 😳 4) ALWAYS buy the flowers! Exceptional advice! Love from our coast to yours🏝💚 🏝💚
Thank you! I skipped too- it's a right of passage and I let him know that. I just don't want it to become a habit! Being a parent never gets easier, but I wouldn't trade it for the world! ❤️
Hi Mary, thanks for the decorating inspiration! Your camelias are gorgeous and I've had the same flower story at the store many a time...I always come home with them😊🌻
So many great parts of this video...Roscoe venturing into the sink, for example...but I wanted to say I love the shoes you're wearing, they're so pretty. Thanks, you always make Friday wonderful!
Hello Mary, It is always a pleasure to visit with you and I loved this book review. Somehow you always remind me of me. I was going to put off decorating for Christmas until after Thanksgiving this year however after listening to you.....your right! I think this year we can all use some softening of our hearts and remind ourselves of the true meaning of Christmas. Peace and Love. PS: I love Roscoe! I would purposely leave my bathroom sink dripping because that's the best way my kitty enjoyed his water! Somehow he ruled the roost!! LOL! Have a wonderful week! Hugs! :)
Mary, how you’ve made my day!!! I agree with everything you said and am planning to start decorating early, also. I always enjoy the books you present and surely hope you never stop doing this! Also, the end of the video with you is as much or more enlightening as the review! Have a wonderful weekend and thank you! 🍁
So glad you bought yourself those lovely roses. I find arranging flowers and puttering with my indoor plants to be very relaxing as well. I loved how you used ribbons on window wreaths just hanging down from bottom of wreath, and the multiple colors. I always enjoy your videos usually with my second cup of coffee after returning from daily (mostly) trip to the pool. Enjoy your evening🍁
I don't start my Christmas decorating until the weekend after Thanksgiving and every year I scaled back a bit, but I love seeing you work and put your home together for Christmas, and love your advice to spread out the chores and give yourself some grace ( and chocolate)!
Well said! Your home is beautiful and with the added Christmas decor it’s so lovely! The flowers certainly do make you happy! And yes we need to slow down and smell the roses❣️
It is always an enjoyable Friday treat to view your vlogs. I am so glad to see that you are starting to decorate for Thanksgiving and Christmas early also. Seeing these books has really given me the inspiration to go ahead now and get it done, so that I can relax during the Holidays also. I would like to see some great recipes that would be good neighbor gifts and prepped and ready to go in case friends should drop by. The roses are beautiful and are a visible reminder to stop and smell the roses along the day.
Mary, What a joy to see more of this beautiful book and to settle my mind which is full of things to do! Your advice is filled with wisdom especially for all of us who “produce” the Thanksgiving and Christmas festivities in our homes. Love your intro too. Thank you for the book reviews, snippets of your life, and your wonderful ideas. So appreciate you…’til the next one!
Thanks for the reminder about my cup which is often close to empty. This reminder comes at such an important time when our hearts and thoughts turn to giving to the people in our life that we hold close. This reminder sets the tone for the holidays and I thank you for this early gift💖
A well heeded reminder for self care as the seasonal activities accelerate. Thank you! Your roses are beautiful! There’s just something magical about fresh flowers! 💐♥💐
You are SO right! In the description of the video I added a link to an article that states science has proven decorating for Christmas makes us happier!
Thanks for sharing, glad the roses were able to redirect your energy towards your son. We have all had those moments. Hopefully, whatever or whomeverr it is that's bothering your son in that class ,gets resolved as well. Once again another great video.
You are sweet to think of that. We did have a heart to heart and he is feeling better about things. All has been resolved. Sometimes it's difficult to express to kids how important the high school years are. I was there once and I remember thinking those days would last forever!
That book was gorgeous,thanks for sharing. I don’t do Christmas till the day after Thanksgiving.Rarely do I repeat anything,that I did the year before,that’s not to say I get rid of it ,I just change rooms,or places where I use it .But I keep a list of anything I need to buy ,so it doesn’t take me long to decorate,I do decorate the outside the week before Thanksgiving,because we have our outdoor lighting party.Thanksgiving night We have leftovers from lunch and friends just show up ,we started that when our grandchildren were little. It took me years to learn to be Good to my self and to give myself Grace .So I could enjoy both Holidays. I realize everyone else was going places,having fun with friends except ME ,I have no guilt about it now .I can’t say I always loved Thanksgiving and Christmas because I was exhausted,and missed out on going or doing things I wanted to .Things change with age and so did I ……..🎈 You deserve the roses ,they were perfect with that room 🍃
I try to learn these lessons- thank you. I appreciate your comment. I do remember my grandmother telling me to enjoy everyday with my kids because in a blink of an eye they would be grown. She was so right and her words stayed with me. And to be honest, if skipping a class is my biggest worry- I am winning! 🙏
Thank you so much for sharing Part 2 . I really enjoyed your review and commentary. I agree with you on taking your time and starting early with Christmas decorating. You can enjoy it much more that way. Happy Holidays.
It took me a few years to learn that, but starting early has helped me in many ways. I never want it to feel like a burden. This is a joyous time and we are so fortunate!
Another great video! I too start decorating after Halloween so that everything will be ready for Thanksgiving which I host every year. I love looking at the festive decorations for two months. Your words of wisdom are truly appreciated. Looking forward to next week as I do adore Alex P. 😊
Love seeing kitty getting a drink of water. What better way to calm the spirit than pets and flowers. Love the Christmas videos and getting some good ideas. Thanks Mary as I always look forward to Friday's when you arrive at our home. See ya next week ~
Beautiful book I received mine a few days ago, I love it. I have two sons, now in there 30’s, the skipping class in HS, is a normal condition that many children get infected with, unfortunately my two ended up with it, one had it worse then the other one, I can also tell you that they grow out of it. And one day in the future you’ll want to go back to there high school years. You’re a good mom. You did the right thing. You’re a lovely lady.
As always enjoyed your video so very much and your start to decorating for Christmas, such a lovely choice of colors for the ribbons. I have to say of all the books you share with us each week this Victoria traditions is on the top of my list of favourites, I just adore the beautiful photography. I have lived in 10 different countries in my 73 years so that has included many a Christmas and taken in the many ways it has been celebrated even in Singapore with little colorful Chinese lanterns put on the small Christmas tree. The Dickens style christmases celebrated in my home country of England 🇬🇧. Because you call your video "The Tarton Topary " I'm wondering if you have a scottish ancestor in yours or husband's family. I look so forward to your book reviews every week, take good care until next time.
That was lovely. I have started re watching a few old ytube Christmas videos. Kirsten and Joerg on their Christmas trip into York in the U.K .visiting the German Christmas shop. Then Miranda Mills walking around Castle Howard looking at the amazing Narnia display. Must be one of the best they have ever done. I think with everything happening in the world, perhaps preparing for Christmas a little earlier is a good idea. Thank you for your wonderful videos, you have a beautiful home.
Thank you and you are right. During part of my "reflection" as I arranged the flowers. I thought about how fortunate I was to have such a small problem of my son skipping class, when others in the world are experiencing FAR worse. I do have a grateful heart. 🙏
Mary, I bought the book you recommended on Christmas Traditions when you featured Part 1 off Amazon. It was a little cheaper than you had said and so I treated myself. I have enjoyed it so much that I will be decorating for Christmas before Thanksgiving for the first time. I agree it will be more festive at Thanksgiving and give me a chance to sit back and relax to enjoy the Christmas season with a few more things already done. I love your videos it relaxes me to hear your voice and your slow southern draw. I’m a southern girl too so no pun intended. Thank you for all the time you put into your UTube videos. They are lovely, very tasteful and informative. I’m a big fan of yours. Be good to yourself and i will do the same. Good day Southern Lady🍁🍂 Linda from Pensacola
I'm so glad. Amazon often has the books I review at a discount. I'm glad you treated yourself! Your comment was very thoughtful and I appreciate your kind words.
I just ordered a copy of the book. I’ve been decorating since last Sunday a little each day. I’m almost done and can enjoy and share with others as the season approaches. Thanksgiving is at my daughter-in-love and sons home this year so I don’t feel guilty about having it all up already. BTW the roses are gorgeous. ❤

My kid used to used to skip 1st period so I went and walked him to his 1st period clas every day for a week. He was so embarrassed that his teacher never had a problem with him from then on. 😊 I'm happy you got the flowers. That's what I would have done too. Your cat is so cute. Is he fixed tho?
Yes- I have 3 cats and they are all fixed. Although, Roscoe doesn't know it, and I refuse to tell him.😺Also, there are few things more powerful than parental embarrassment. 😁
Hi, I just stumbled upon your channel. Love it. You are so sweet and elegant. Thank you for inspiring. I would love to know more about you as I follow along. Where do you live?
Flowers in a vase and a cat in one room? My cat would immediately start sniffing, biting, pulling and the vase would fall over and everything would be wet.:)
*Sigh*...retirement has helped in the "more time to oneself." I don't know why I waited so long!! So enjoyed your visit today...see ya next time!! Now...where DID I put those lanterns.. hmmm...franki
A invaluable lesson. Take care of yourself so you can take care of others.
Good for you for doing something for you,!
Beautiful roses and cute kitty❤
Mary, I’ve been looking forward to this all week!

Another great vid Mary, it was a good idea to buy the roses. Now your cup is overflowing!🎉
My cup really is overflowing! I should never complain, but there is that pesky "human nature" that we all battle with.😄

Hope it works out with your son
And you are so right "The most Wonderful Time of the Year" ❤❤❤
Yes it will. He has 2 older siblings and they did their fair share of skipping also (as did I back in 1986)! Don't tell anyone.
Another great video! I too start decorating after Halloween so that everything will be ready for Thanksgiving which I host every year. I love looking at the festive decorations for two months. Your words of wisdom are truly appreciated. Looking forward to next week as I do adore Alex P. 😊

I'm glad- this book is so full of beauty and Christmas cheer!
Beautiful book

You’re a good mom.
You did the right thing.
You’re a lovely lady.
Thank you for that! You are a great cheerleader. ❤️

Yes- I have 3 cats and they are all fixed. Although, Roscoe doesn't know it, and I refuse to tell him.😺Also, there are few things more powerful than parental embarrassment. 😁

Cheers to a new Christmas time..🥂
Your book, the best of gift for all friends..
Thank you.🍃

No apology necessary! Cheers!
Hi, I just stumbled upon your channel. Love it. You are so sweet and elegant. Thank you for inspiring. I would love to know more about you as I follow along. Where do you live?
Thank you! I hope you subscribe to the channel. I talk about myself and my life often. I live in North Carolina.
Flowers in a vase and a cat in one room? My cat would immediately start sniffing, biting, pulling and the vase would fall over and everything would be wet.:)
Oh- I get that! The vase I used is about 6 pounds and it doesn't fall over but Roscoe will chew the leaves. 😺🌹
*Sigh*...retirement has helped in the "more time to oneself." I don't know why I waited so long!! So enjoyed your visit today...see ya next time!! Now...where DID I put those lanterns.. hmmm...franki
