    Thank You so much for sharing! I will be watching this over and over, it is beautiful! I am sitting in our family room looking out at the snow falling so gently here in Michigan.A little tired after cleaning and a little decorating.My husband brought me a cup of hot coffee. We will be celebrating our 63rd Wedding Anniversary (December). You bring so much Joy in your Videos. Love your New Home and Willow.

    Hi Linda! Love watching your videos. Very calming and always in the moment. No rushing thru the seasons like everybody on “You Tube”. We bought our Colonial home 4 years ago and I have learned so much from you and how to honor a home history with their true decor. Blessings❤️. Lisa Sagardia

    Your videos sing to my old soul 🥰 I find it so refreshing that you don’t do “shopping hauls” like many RUclipsrs. Antique hauls for Linda! ❤️ I love how you incorporate nature and your finds in your decor instead of running off to target, home goods and hobby lobby lol not that we don’t love them but I don’t appreciate these people who share videos of their hauls spending hundreds of dollars on holiday decor which many of us can’t afford, it’s unrealistic and mainstream. I guess I’m just a kindred spirit!! Happy holidays Linda!

    I love the pace of the video. Your voice is so relaxing. I love how you are slowly showing what you are and have been doing. So many vlogs are of fully-decorated Christmas homes and yards. Everything is too rushed. I want to enjoy Thanksgiving without garland and ornaments and blow up items on the lawn (hate). I want to enjoy each season and give it its time to shine and be appreciated. We start this weekend and leave up into January. After all the bright lights of December, it is nice to still see twinkle light in the dark of January and we still see people who we could not in December. You take long enough to decorate that you want to enjoy. Your lunch area looked so lovely and inviting and hope to visit some of the stores you shared. Looking forward to your next gathering. I apologize I rambled on but, as you say, you speak to me! 🙂🪶

    I enjoyed this very much!! Gathering with like minded women, something I have never had the opportunity to experience so I appreciate how you value that. Thank you for sharing the process for the candied fruit which I intend to try during this holiday season. The walk in the woods brought me internally to a place of peace. Because my son-in-law is an airman my daughter and family couldn’t be with me over Thanksgiving. We are all very proud of his role in the Air Force. Though I was alone, I made a beautiful meal after showering, dressing, applying makeup and perfume 😊. I would have also loved a walk but I was rather tired at the end of the day. I do enjoy my own company too, that sometimes becomes the case when one is almost 70 years young (December). Christmas will be a different story. Don’t you LOVE the preparation as much as the day itself? I do! Thanks again Linda for yet another WONDERFUL video! I can’t wait to go to local antique shops in the spring!

    Your passion shines through when you talk about your new home and all the things you want to do to make it your style. The candied cranberries looked so festive. I enjoyed following you through the woods to pick fresh greens and to shop in the stores. Your outside garland with faux and live looked so pretty and homey with the twinkle lights on and the snow falling down. Thank you.

    “Remember your home is where you make it” , I loved that with the little opening in the siding. How wonderful that you met Sharon Santoni. I am an admirer of hers as well. The poems for the woodland walk is such a lovely thought. Thank you for sharing , this really put me in the Christmas spirit.

    I have been using the faux garland and wreaths for the past couple of years as frames for fresh greens. So much easier than wiring individual greens. I learned this trick from P. Allen Smith. I find his garden and decorating style very inspirational.

    Linda,
    I can’t even explain how much joy your RUclips channel gives me. For six years my husband and I live in Maine, up in Caribou on what was Loring AFB. Your Traditional decorating style, the how-tos, cinematography are encouraging and bring back wonderful New England memories. Blessings on you holidays. Thank you!

    During one of my trips to NH me and my NE bestie Marie travelled from Wolfeboro to Vermont during leaf changing season! We stopped at all the "consignment" Thrift stores along the way. It was my best trip I had ever been on....she passed 2 almost 3 years ago and I miss her so much and also miss NE! I plan on a trip in late spring next year when I get vacation time. Love your place and all your videos make me feel like I am there! MERRY CHRISTMAS!

    I have never candied a whole orange before (wow!), but have done many peels. I use a peeler I got at Williams Sonoma years ago….not certain of brand because it’s so worn….it shaves the peel off in a pronounced square shape. I think it’s intended for a meet matchstick carrot but I’ve used it only for large zest and the peel. It takes practice, but you can peel the circumference of an orange or grapefruit and once candied, the result is almost a party package ribbon. It might be dwarfed by a whole orange…but it could be pretty too.
