Dearest Cherry, I'm just now watching your video from Portland Oregon, USA. I wanted to comment in agreement, that it is, all too short. I've been sitting at the bedside of my beloved husband who is facing end of life. We've been together for 42 years and it just isn't long enough. I can't believe that we're in this chapter of our lives. I can't believe that he won't be with me here. I sit and listen to him breathe, cherishing every single breath, as I know very soon now I'll never hear it again. Tell your loved ones every day just how much you love them. Pray over them, and remember that anger only hurts you. This holiday is extremely difficult for me. I know I'll get through it. Albeit with a broken heart. Thank you again for sharing your beautiful English country life and style with us. Thank you for your precious understanding of just how quickly life goes. Much love and peace during this blessed holiday season. ❤
I am so sorry to hear that you are having to live through this. My heart is breaking with you as I’m sure other’s are too. Please know that anyone who has read the comment you left has you in their thoughts and heart. Sending you and your family so much love at this time, Cx
I too have a little tree like that. It used to be my mother’s and she put it up every year in her small flat. I have it now and still put her original decorations on it. I place it on my washstand in the kitchen and put lots of Christmas food and decor around it. It brings me great joy and memories of my darling mum.
Cherry you got me too. Took me right back to the Good Housekeeping book my Mum gave me back in 1975. Yes and it goes far too quick, one minute your an age then blink of a eye another decades gone. But your vlogs are a pure joy. So hope the Petworth day isn't cancelled. Decorate your cottage is beautiful. Sending hugs Teresa.
Don’t mind me. I’m just here, weeping into my taco casserole with you over the beautiful lives represented in those cookbook notes. 🥹 Thank you for sharing! 💕
What a Beautiful Adorable Lady you are, such fun & Appreciative of the small things in life! Love watching You & Thank You for your inspiring videos 🥰❤️xxx
I tried decorating my kitchen for the last two days with no success. I think the problem is I have no open shelving and very little counter space. I think I'll add some wreaths to the windows and maybe a tealight house and church and call it a day. I love that little tree of yours!
It's all lovely! I, too, get emotional when looking through old recipe books. I love finding notes or seeing the collection of pages with food stains and wear and tear, telling me it was a favorite recipe. My fellow women who cooked for their family, or a party where they wore their pearl necklace and new dress. Ah...I could write a story with just that bit of inspiration. Thanks so much for sharing.
Oh you don’t know how you bless me! I don’t watch TV and not many movies out there to watch. So I’m so happy to found your RUclips channel. The only negative is I don’t want to end! Here in America we don’t have little cottages or quaint stores. So I step right into Petworth and it’s my little getaway! I cried with you over the cookbooks. And so enjoy watching you decorate! And I love the little Christmas tree! Thank you sweet Cherry ! ❤❤❤
I’m so happy to be here with you. I truly love your country as well as my own and am looking forward to spending more time with you all in 2025. Have a lovely Friday, Cx
The more I watch you, Cherry, the more I am convinced we would be friends if we ever met. We share the same sense of humour, the same sense of the ridiculous and I'm certain we would get along like the proverbial house on fire. You continue to be such a joy, and have quickly become my favourite. Just started reading Wintering. Looking forward to the book club in January. Much love from Canada 🇨🇦
Cherry, I have a copy of the recipes my grandmother had. My sister copied them and made books for her , me, and another sister. Since then, I have made them for my 4 girls. Some from 1915 when she got married. I love your kitchen, and what I wouldn’t give to be in that town where you live. I’m in California. I love your advent emails . It’s really fun!! Here’s hoping no bad weather Saturday❤
Love your enthusiasm and the collections of treasures. It's always fun to unpack Christmas decor items with the associated memories, reflecting on the past and creating new ones.
I have a little tree like that so it in a little corner of my lounge nad I decorated it with tiny diamond lights and wooden band soldiers and an angel from the 50's
Dearest friend, what a delight it is to watch you! You have designed and created such a lovely life for you and your family. Wishing you the most blessed season of joy!! xo Lidy
I adore your videos! Everything is beautiful I watched a video on adding lights to a tree and learned that if you stuff the lights into the tree, the cords don't show. ❤
Your beautifully sweet personality just come shining through in these videos. This is my unwinding me time. Thank you for offering such peace with your videos.
Cherry, Yes, another heart warming vlog. Thanks for sharing the emotional moment with the cookbook. I think you got all of us with that one! Hoping the weather holds off for your Petworth Christmas Cracker.🤞🤞🤞
Please re-open your webstore!!! I am enamored with your channel and as obsessed with holiday decorating as you are! Merry Christmas from Connecticut, USA!!
I too have a coaster fetish Cherry, I have some lovely American Red Truck Coasters for Christmas and like yourself Robins and Snowmen. But I like you find it awkward at somebody's house if they have a lovely coffee table and they say "oh just put it down its fine". I inwardly cringe and hold my mug. Love your video's, cant wait for the next one. x
At them moment we are having a "snow event" in my part of Ontario. There must be 3-4 feet of it on the roof, my garden is under there somewhere..... We should start a support group for coaster fanatics. I love them and use them:). Lovely video==perfect for a day like today.
Cherry.. love your opening scene in this video. I found it to be so very peaceful and beautiful. Thank you. On the topic of rearranging and restyling..... I do the VERY same thing! I always thought it was a "fall out" from working in retail ( Hallmark and for private shops owners) for years. We were always rearranging product in order breathe NEW life into a space, otherwise the "product' becomes invisible.
Thank you for another lovely, charming video! ❤ I look forward to them & your daily emails. Also, I have ordered your book as well as Wintering for some cozy reading. Have a beautiful day!
Please build a new web shop, I know I would love the items you select ❤ I’m having a new kitchen built and would love to add some Cherry touches to it. Another lovely vlog x
Dearest Cherry... it's TRUE recipes keep the generations connected. With them often comes the power to rekindle cherished memories and traditions. My mom has been gone now for 3 yrs. and every Christmas, I make the SAME cookies, she once did. May I recommend a collection of cookbooks, you may or may not have heard of... Gooseberry Patch. Over the years, I have managed ot collect quite a few. My favorites are the Christmas editions. The unique and special quality of this line of cookbooks is that the recipes are mostly comprised of reader submissions. I myself have had two featured in separate cookbooks. The other unique characteristic is that not only do they have recipes, of course, BUT memories, traditions, craft ideas etc. The illustrations are equally as charming and quaint as the stories, accompanying each recipe. Look for teh spiral binding and white goose on the cover.
I enjoy your videos so much! I was going through one of my Colonial Williamsburg Cookbooks last night. I've settled on making a batch of gingerbread cookies/biscuits but I need to pick up some ginger and molasses. I think your hot chocolate recipe will pair beautifully with the cookies.
Such a beautiful vlog. Wish we could sit and have a cup of tea and a chat in person. Praying the cracker isn’t cancelled! ❤. I’m lusting after that burgundy settee in the shop window 😍
Hello Cherry, the intro to today's volg is so peaceful. I just love it. The reindeer your dad made are adorable. Your little tree is the perfect size for the kitchen counter. I love your latte bowls for your hot chocolate. They are festive and make your hot chocolate very special. It all looks quite magical. I love your enthusiasm for the season. It's very contagious. ❤
Subscribed I live in the uk in Notts and found your channel two weeks ago I love and look forward to watching love your deli and cottage and even the beef stew you made your so calming I want to Visit petworth and have. A cuppa in your deli I go to Oxford often so will have to have. A visit to petworth it looks so lovley thkyou keep bringing us lovley videos 😊🎄😊
You have such a GORGEOUS, contagious, infectious joy and deep gratitude for life. I absolutely love you and I am here for it!! P.S. How precious is a craft faire called a Christmas Cracker!!!!
Another video this week Cherry what a treat! I would love to say thank you for the daily Advent emails that pop merrily into my inbox! They are so inspiring, carefully created and designed with love I can tell! You really have cheered up the run up to Christmas this year!
I also decorated for the seasons both inside and outside. The neighbours love my outside even strangers passing comment. This encourages me when i am struggling to be motivated and it feels like too big of a job. Then i find myself adding extra bits because i get excited once i get started. 😅 Storage is my problem for out of season items. How do you store your out of season decorations. ?
I have a few others picked up at Antique shops-on my shelf, too. Yes! Written notes in the margins or notes tucked inside the books. Lovely finds. ❤ yes. It is sooooo short. 😢 I wanted to share my photo but honestly, can’t figure it out. Perhaps, it’s not a thing-that would make me feel better. 😅❤
I have the most amazing cook book the I won from a fellow blogger in the US, she's a friend and used to have pet house rabbits and her blog is about quilting. Anyway the book is called A Quilter's Christmas CookBook. I get it out every year and test out some of the recipes
Feel like I’ve been running in parallel as was polishing kitchen copper yesterday and adding twinkly lights (Nigella style) over units. I’ve also been collecting some miniature copper kitchen and garden items which I e wired onto kitchen wreath and garland… unfortunately this involved yet more polishing!
Hi Cherry. If you love old books, you need to visit Baggins Book Bazaar in Rochester, Kent. It's supposed to be the largest secondhand book store in England. I've found some really lovely old copies of Little Women and similar in there. For some reason, I've never looked for recipe books in there, until now that is. I will be popping down there as soon as I get a chance. I don't think they're open every day though so best to check before.
Cherry, had you heard of the online group ‘every day is a holiday’? Celebrating each day as a special day ❣️❣️Heard her name is Cherry M. 🎅🏻🎅🏻☃️🎄❄️🤶🏻🥰❣️🧚♀️🎄🎄

Your pup is so adorably cute, those little sparkly eyes. Happy Christmas Cherry.

Good morning from Portland, Maine, USA! I watched this video last night and noted I have the same “American Woman’s Cookbook”!!!!
I have a few others picked up at Antique shops-on my shelf, too. Yes! Written notes in the margins or notes tucked inside the books. Lovely finds. ❤ yes. It is sooooo short. 😢 I wanted to share my photo but honestly, can’t figure it out. Perhaps, it’s not a thing-that would make me feel better. 😅❤
I don’t you can share pics in the YT comments but I’m happy to be corrected. You and I can both feel better as neither of us know 🥴
Cherry I ordered the book off Santa Wintering so looking forward to it thank you for the recommendations
Oh good!! You’ll be ready for our book club in January 😌
So glad your videos came up on my feed. Enjoy them so very much!
