I knew I was on the right path with my English country decorating journey when my youngest son said "Mom this place is starting to look like a antique shop."
Haha, that's great!
Your child has excellent taste..😄👍
Rachel. the antique shop is so lovely. The blue and white pieces are so pretty, it would be difficult to choose a favorite. How kind of your viewers to send you delightful decor pieces. You and Matt have certainly renovated your home to reflect your love of cottage style. Thank you!
Thank you for coming along!
Good morning, friends!
In today's visit, we are going shopping at a "new-to-me" antique shop! This one is crammed with English country house treasures and fabulous ideas for styling them in your house. Let's see what we can find!
Love the staffordshire sheep in the beginning of the video with his funny little face!
Yes, the Staffordshire is so quirky & fun!
So much charm in those items - I love an country antiques shop!
Me, too!
Glad you enjoyed your visit!
Oh my the Mockingbird manner is full of treasures
Yes, Ma'am!
I love your videos. I love all the blues. I am 74 and feel like I am to old to start over. But I sure can enjoy yours. Thank you for sharing.
Good afternoon, Miss Rachel!
Thank you for joining me in shopping and styling today. I just want to encourage you that you don't have to start over. Simply incorporate touches of the pieces you love here and there.
You’re never to old to create a space pleasing to you. Plus 74 isn’t old. One of my dearest friends is 76…she’s the spitfire of our friend group.
@RachelLight, although I appreciate your opinion with much respect, I do hope that you will reconsider. Ms. Rachel, You are Not old, so that means that, You are Not too old to start over. I believe that each new day that The Good Lord Blesses us to see, is a Great day to start anew. That being said, I pray that you will continue to do things that bring you joy, and that includes redoing your home decor, for your enjoyment, if You so choose. I pray that You do not take this as being disrespectful, because that is not my intent. Have a Wonderfully Blessed day, and beyond, in Jesus' Name. 😊🙏🏾😊 Sincerely, Paula
@@morp3022 Oh Paula thank you. You are so kind.
@@marydumois4242 You brought a smile to my face. Thank you.
Each piece has found a perfect place in your lovely home, Rachel 🏡. What a beautiful antique store! I think having pretty things around me makes such a difference to my mindset. You have once again - inspired me! I could listen to your voice every day! Thank you!
Good afternoon, Miss Patti!
Having a nicely decorated and well functioning home does make a difference in your mindset! I'm so glad you left your visit inspired, that brings me joy!
@@StoneCottageHome Me too!
What amazing additions! And the placement is perfect! I absolutely LOVE that you tucked that beautiful soup tureen into the top of your cabinet. While it isn’t on clear display for just anyone to see, it is seen every time you open the cabinet and is like a lovely secret mostly to be enjoyed by the homeowners! And I adore that idea! You have given me some great ideas to take away from your video, as always, and the wheels in my mind are turning. Hope your weekend is as blessed as you make ours.🌹
Oh, yay!
I'm so glad to know you took away some inspiration for your home! Thank you for sharing and may you enjoy your weekend as well.
@thechickincharge, I Totally Agree with Every word that You shared, in your comment. 😊
Oh my goodness! I would love to go to this shop!!!!! Wonderful!
You would love it! It's like Christmas and a birthday wrapped into one!
Good morning dear Rachel (and Matt)! Another beautiful video for us. I feel so blessed by all you share with us. I don’t know how you left that gorgeous shop without spending a small fortune!! And a big YES PLEASE to a kitchen organization video. Sandi Delia
Hello Miss Sandi!
There were SO many things that I liked in that shop! But I was happy with the one platter and the head full of inspiration!
For the kitchen tour, is there anything in particular you'd like to see? Or ideas you'd like to hear for organization? Any feedback is appreciated!
@@StoneCottageHome , I Totally agree with Miss Sandi, I too would Love a kitchen tour, and I would Truly appreciate Any organization tips, that you could offer. To be honest Miss Rachel, I Truly Enjoy your channel and All of your videos, so Anything that you would create and share...would be Enjoyed and Greatly Appreciated. 🥰 Lord willing, until next time. 🙏🏾 Love In Christ, Paula
@@StoneCottageHome Hi Miss Rachel! I had to think about your questions a bit. What struck me in your kitchen portion was the careful curation and simplicity. I think the thought process you went through to arrive at your destination and adjustments along the way would make for a very good video. I am also struck by the care you take when you do just about anything…even making something as simple as muffins. My sense is everything you do has a sense of love, reverence and devotion. I think that’s why I watch your old videos over and over just to see love in motion.
Well Miss Rachel, you definitely are the go to expert in my mind when it comes to English Country decor!!! Your videos make my 99% English heart sing and bring a satisfied smile on my face. 😊
I love every minute of viewing, and watch more then once. I also love when you call us friends because I certainly look on your site as a treasured friend with the most knowledgeable advice.
I would love to see how you organize everyday dishes and silverware! I live alone, and mine is a mess! I hate opening the drawers and doors..😮
Love and prayers to you and Matt!!!! ❤
What a lovely comment, Miss JoAnn!
I feel very blessed to have so many kind, appreciative viewers like you.
Thank you for the specific feedback on what you'd like to see in a kitchen tour ~ that really helps! You're in luck, I've got some simple, pretty ideas for organizing everyday dishes and silverware.
Thank you for the prayers!
Hi Rachel! Thank you for the shopping trip, I loved the shop! Over my budget, but great to see the way the displays were completed. And, you are spot on with the take away of buying well, waiting, and waiting. The blue and white platter you purchased is gorgeous!! Well done! Thank you so much for another video, they are a complete joy, always. Blessings to you, to Matt, and all family! 🥰
Good evening, Miss Lina,
Thanks for going "window shopping" with me! Blessings to you and yours, too!
Good morning, miss Rachel 💞 I adore the English country style. It’s so cozy! I have many of the same books as you. For years I subscribed to several English country magazines. They were a splurge but so so beautiful . I’ve saved many of them. Recently I read a book from the library called, Sacred Spaces by Carley Summers. The story of the author is very inspiring. Each home showcased is a journey, telling the story of how the owner created this sanctuary. I thought of you and wanted to share it. The photography is amazing. I’ve never seen a home decor book that explains how much a home means to those of us whose lives sometimes take an unexpected turn. Now I know why I need my home to be a haven.
Absolutely love your work 🌸 Sincerely, Janina from Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦
Good afternoon, Miss Janita,
I just looked up the book at our public library and have it on hold ~ thanks for sharing!
@@StoneCottageHome awesome 🤩 it will touch your heart ❤
I love spending an afternoon browsing antique stores, thank you for taking us along with you 😊 I would love to see a kitchen tour! I'm very nosy about other people's kitchens🤫 lol
I agree, Miss Kelly ~ there is nothing quite like browsing a lovely antique shop!
For the kitchen tour, is there anything in particular that you'd like to see? Or ideas you'd like to hear for organization? Any feedback is appreciated!
@StoneCottageHome if possible, could you discuss what you and Matt decided to keep and what you could let go? Sometimes I see videos, and people are just playing music and happily throwing items in boxes to donate but they never explain why they decide to keep or donate items. I also like to see how ones organize kitchens for ease of cooking and cleanup because all of us have to do those things multiple times a day so it's important to organize our things to make that enjoyable
@kellybarfoot8124 Very helpful feedback, Miss Kelly. Thank you so much!
What a fun shop you found! I love to see how your decorating has evolved over the years of watching your channel. What lovely pieces you found! Blessings to you and Matt❤️
Thank you, Miss Sharen!
So very funny that you posted this type of video today. I had a dear friend visit my home yesterday for the first time. She is a little more than 20 years younger than my 68. She gave me a lovely compliment by stating that my home was "beautiful" and "looked like a homey museum". Coming from a much younger generation with an admiration point of view made me smile!!! I have always leaned towards English Country Cottage. Thank you for always giving me new ideas to keep my creativity current! ❤❤❤❤
Isn't it wonderful when decor tastes can transcend generations and brings folks together?!
@@StoneCottageHome Yes it is!!!
Such a lovely video, Rachel. Thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hi Rachel. Thanks for taking us along to that wonderful shop.
Absolutely!
One of my most favorite videos of yours. I agree...I don't thrift...I buy and curate slowly. ONLY rare beautiful and elegant pieces. I too need to find the right Staffordshire dog..it must be a cute Cavalier King Charles...similiar with cutness to my Blenheim Cavalier.....I just love your curated pieces and your lovely kitchen....jus beautiful....PS your voice and voice over is pleasant....thank you
Keep hunting, you'll find the perfect Staffordshire dog!
I love how you have styled the inside of your cabinets. I have done that for years - I enjoy opening a cabinet doors when we have company - I always get a comment. Beautiful choices as always!
Isn't it fun to open the doors and see the treasures inside?!
Had to watch this episode a second time. Thanks Rachel
Glad you enjoyed it so much. Thanks for visiting again!
@@StoneCottageHome ALWAYS A PLEASURE
Rachel, love this video! Would love to watch any organization videos you choose to create for us!
Good afternoon Miss Gina!
I'm glad you enjoyed this visit ~ who doesn't like to talk decor?!
For the kitchen tour, is there anything in particular that you'd like to see? Or ideas you'd like to hear for organization? Any feedback is appreciated!
Your Vlogs are always full of great advice and interesting facts and information.
Glad you think so!
Fascinating. Rachel, I want to see more🎉 Organize and (I've forgotten the other code word😊)
OK, thanks for letting me know!
What a beautiful shop! I got inspired just watching this video. That beautiful little creamer, that goes along with the sugar bowl you used for jam, would be a nice little creamer fora small bouquet of flowers on tour counter or window sill. I love it.
Oh I agree! Simple baby’s breath would be amazing and understated. ❤
Great idea, thanks for sharing!
I love the idea of blueprints of homes
It was a brilliant idea!
I have those exact blue and white kitchen canisters that you showed in the video. I’ve had them for 40 years and still love them! I love your channel and your home is coming along beautifully.
Those canisters were pretty and timeless. I'm sure you enjoy them every day. Thanks for stopping by!
I love all your videos. Your sweet sounding voice is so lovely & and you and Matt are such a lovely couple. God bless you both. ❤😊
Glad you enjoyed your visit, Miss Linda!
Oh, m' gosh!! At Goodwill, I just found an 8 sided platter like that one in the blue & white marked "Alleghany" with the very same kind of scenery & marking on the underside. I don't want to say how much I paid for it. It was priced so low. Now I realize how much it's worth!!
Your home has so sweetly evolved into a pretty English cottage over the years, inside & outside. ❤🏡❤
Wonderful score!
Yeah! Hit this button fast when I saw you dropped. Such lovely things. Love your content. God bless.
I would like to see any organizational videos, especially for the kitchen. Love everything you and your husband share. You are such an inspiration.
Good morning, Miss Diane!
In a kitchen tour & organization video, is there anything in particular you'd like to see?
@@StoneCottageHome Good morning: I have open top shelving in my kitchen and would appreciate any ideas that would give them an English cottage look. It is a small kitchen. Thank you.
@@DianeR54 Thank you for the feedback, Miss Diane!
Love your home! It's so beautiful. Love the curated English country style:) would love to see an organizing video, also. God bless
Good afternoon, Miss Yvette!
Thank you, that's so sweet! As you can tell I love the curated English look as well.
For the kitchen tour, is there anything in particular that you'd like to see? Or ideas you'd like to hear for organization? Any feedback is appreciated!
Loved the blue platters on the wall !!
So many neat things. ❤
Yes!
The whole reason we found this shop was word-of-mouth about the treasure trove of blue & white!
You have a beautiful blue and white collection!
Thank you!
Wow, what a shop !! Love blue and white chinoiserie !!
Me too
Loved this video, you always inspire me to take a new look at my home and enjoy what I have built
Wonderful!
That's the reason we share these videos. You don't have to be a certified interior designer to have a lovely home. Have a lovely weekend!
Everything is beautiful. Your home is so gorgeous with all those lovely pieces 💙!!!
That's very kind, thank you.
Yes, kitchen tour and organization!! 🥰
OK, great!
Is there anything in particular in the kitchen tour and organizing that you'd like to see?
@@StoneCottageHome in particular, the refrigerator. I love what I saw of it in this video, with the baskets and pretty jars. I would like to organize my refrigerator in a similar way, and I'd love inspiration! Thanks! 💕
@@blueberrymuffinsmix Great, thanks for the feedback!
What an awesome antique store you found! I don't think I've ever seen that much blue and white items in one store. I don't know how you were able to pick out the choice items you found and walk away. Some of those lamps you filmed were amazing. I'm sure that won't be the last time we see you in Mockingbird Manor!!
Agreed, I hadn't seen that much blue & white under one roof before either!
Oh, I'm sure I'll be back... ;)
That store is absolutely Beautiful. Thank you for sharing it.
Absolutely, thanks for coming along!
I just found some large English dog figurines for $5 each at a local thrift shop I absolutely love them & was over the moon 🌙 ❤
Score!
I have several sugar bowls and I also make jam. This was a brilliant idea! So charming!
Wonderful, I'm glad you picked up a fun idea you can use!
What a lovely antique shop. I love the blue and whites more on the darker side tho. The rose chintz cream/sugar pattern is one of my favorites which I need to purchase. Thank you for taking us along with you it was great.
Absolutely, thanks for coming along!
Another charming video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Everything is so beautiful !!
Oh Rachel what a delightful video! Yes the Mockingbird Manner shop was a bit “high end” but soo beautiful and inspirational.. you’re so right that it can be just as fun to come away with mostly ideas in our shopping bag😌
I love your collection of sugar bowls & creamers.. I’m on the hunt for a suger bowl to hold some wooden utensils.. Definitely would love a kitchen tour/organizational video!!
Have a great week😌..Your Ky Friend Belinda
Good evening, Miss Belinda!
Yes, "window shopping" can be just as rewarding and fun!
In a kitchen tour & organization video, is there anything in particular you'd like to see?
5:02 I have that exact chair, fabric and all!!! I purchased mine from an auction house near Philadelphia and it's absolutely gorgeous!
Oh wow!
Loved the shop tour. Great self control. I am thinking of cute baskets for my fridge now,. I have used a sugar bowl to hold matches near a favorite candle. Thank you!
You're welcome, glad you enjoyed your visit!
WOW! What a beautiful shop! Wish we had one like that in Canada!
Maybe you do!
I lived here 11 years before finding this one!
Hi Rachel! I enjoyed hearing your wisdom about decorating as well as seeing all th beautiful decor at the antique store and in your home. I will be using your tips in the future. 😊 I would enjoy seeing a kitchen organization video by you. I did mine last year, but I am still not happy with some areas. Take care and see you soon! Thank you and God bless! ❤🌸🌼
Hello, Miss Jennifer!
I'm glad you enjoyed the shopping & styling.
In a kitchen tour and organization video, is there anything in particular you'd like to see?
@@StoneCottageHome Hi Rachel! Thank you for your response and for your thoughtful question. I had to think about this a little bit. 🤔☺ I have a very small kitchen. Last year, we also did some upgrades, and in the process I let go of some things and tried to create better organization. We have a small pantry closet, and due to a lack of closets and storage space, we use this area for cleaning supplies, paper products and other household odds and ends. Although it works, and is an improvement, it still looks cluttered to me. Maybe it’s the small space? Maybe I still have too much stuff? I use an over the door organizer to help. Plus, how to store things like paper plates and occasionally used things that I still need to access. Do you have a more efficient way to store baking pans and bowls than just putting them in a cabinet, lol? 😉 I hope this makes sense…I just find you especially creative in working with what you have. 😊 I would love to hear/see your perspective on organizing! Take care and have a blessed week! 🌸❤🙏
I really enjoyed your video. I loved the way you explained about layering. I need to learn more about that. As I was watching I realized why layering was so important because if done right you can see and enjoy every piece. I am also learning from you to use things in nontraditional ways. Another thing I would like to learn more about if you have time to do a video is editing pieces that need to move on. Also I am having fun creating vignettes ie: birds, ducks and bird houses in groupings. I would love to learn more from you about how you make decisions about what goes together. Thanks for sharing this wonderful video.
Wonderful, Miss Yvonne!
I'm so glad to know you came away with some useful knowledge. Thanks for the feedback on things you'd like to learn in the future, that really helps!
Hi Rachel, thank you for your video I love the mall, and I have to say I only saw FRENCH DECOR, CHINOISERIE, STATUES, FURNITURE, DECOR and little of England, some Italian. Overall I love all things you share and bought ❤❤❤
Rachel, I spy with my little eye a beloved Broadman Hymnal! God bless yawl.
Good afternoon!
I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Yes, there were a mix of styles there and the fact that the styles you mentioned overlap so well is what makes it so fun. Thanks for stopping by!
I hack the French canister set. Bought in the 90’s
I would live to see a declutter and organize video. I think it would fun.
Lol like not live
Wonderful!
For the kitchen tour, is there anything in particular you'd like to see? Or ideas you'd like to hear for organization? Any feedback is appreciated!
@StoneCottageHome well, my kitchen is so full of dishes that I have collected and would like to see different ways to display them. I know that you remodeled your kitchen, and that looks amazing. My kitchen needs to be declared. I need inspiration.
Happy Saturday morning...what a joyful way to begin the weekend...thank you for sharing the wonderful new antique shop...so many beautiful and interesting items ...also thank you for sharing your home and your delightful decorating ideas....your sweet spirit shines through each time your bring your viewers into your world....all the best..Melanie Fay
Good afternoon, Miss Melanie!
Thank you for your contribution and support as always!
Take care,
Rachel
OH my! I am going to be in your neck of the woods in October. I MUST make a point of checking out Mockingbird Manor. I am only 1.5 hours from there!!!!!! LOVE!
Oh, you should totally go! It is delightful & I'm sure I'll be back...!
Thank you for another beautiful video. I would love it if you shared your kitchen organization too!
Good morning, Miss Amy!
Glad you enjoyed your visit.
In the kitchen tour & organization, is there anything in particular you'd like to see?
I love to see how people organize practical and everyday items that aren't very attractive, but are necessary. I don't like to keep many appliances out on my counter. I love the look of your beautiful kitchen! @@StoneCottageHome
@@amyw7365 Thanks for the feedback, Miss Amy!
Not only did I love everything you found, I spotted things all around the store. No place like that in my area, unfortunately. I would like to see more organizing videos too. I'll watch anything you do! My latest find is a scalloped edge Spode platter. Then I had to go back for her to sell me the plate holder cause none of mine could hold it. $45 was a deal.
Glad you enjoyed your visit, and congrats on your Spode find!
In a kitchen tour and organizing video, is there anything in particular you'd like to see?
@@StoneCottageHome I'm always interested in "under the sink" organization. I start out with good organization, but I still have things left over that I don't know what to do with. If I put them in my pantry, I forget about them. Maybe I just have too much stuff!?!?! I love all of your projects and your decor so anything you come up with, I'm there.
Love the swing frame. Thanks for the tour of the shop.
You're welcome, Miss Polly!
I’m inspired thank you for the content, I’m a new fan…
Welcome to the Stone Cottage Home family! We're delighted to have you along!
Another lovely video ❤

This was a lovely video 🌷
Glad you stopped by and enjoyed your visit. 🌷
Great prices !!! I live in Dallas and our stuff is way more. Grab them while you can
Several viewers have remarked that the prices were good, thanks for letting me know.
Thank you for the inspiration!
You are so welcome!
@@StoneCottageHome I love the Stafford shire figures
@@jackieo8693 Me too!
I've never thought of using baskets in the refrigerator! Does moisture become a problem? 🤔 I guess you can regularly wipe them out... that antique store though 😍
Hello, there & good question!
I've never had a problem with moisture on the baskets. The green basket has held eggs in the fridge for the last twelve years. Yes, that antique shop... I'll be back!
Would love detail kitchen cupboards and your fridge
Me too!!!
And please do a video on your kitchen organization tips!! Mine is tiny with little to no storage. I wish it was an unfitted kitchen but I must work with what I have.
Hi, there, Miss Gail!
Along with the cupboards and the fridge in the kitchen tour, is there anything else you'd like to see? Or ideas you'd like to hear for organization? Any feedback is appreciated!
@@StoneCottageHome you do a great job and organizing is always good. I saw the basket in your fridge and thought I need to see all of your kitchen. 😊
Fun ❤😅
❤❤❤
Staffordshire figurines cost far more in my neck of the woods! You would do well to get yours at that shop.
Good to know!
Rachel, did you go to school for decorating or is this something you just learned as you went along? You have a wealth of knowledge on this decorating style and I always learn from you. 😊
Thank you
Good evening!
What a sweet comment! I've had an interest in interior design since I was about 7 or 8 years old. For the most part, I've studied the homes of others, read books (watched old films for the set and not the storyline 😉), and studied images online.
For "formal" learning, I completed a two week interior design class in Dallas, Texas, many years ago. In the last two years, I've completed three British design courses on Create Academy.
I'm thrilled to know you are enjoying and learning from our channel!
@@StoneCottageHome I am quite impressed... thank you for sharing all you know 😊
You might consider glass front cabinet doors
Yes, that is a thought I've had. We'll see!
Rachel, Linda Vater has highlighted that shop on her channel several times. Do you follow her?
How fun!
I have followed her channel, she has lots of great ideas & I
enjoy her home tours.
Where is Mockingbird Manor? We went to one in Oklahoma City and this looked so familiar. Beautiful video. Thank you so much🩷💙🩵
I’m thinking you went to the same one. 😃
Good afternoon, Miss Vickie!
Mockingbird Manor was at a different location in the past, so that may be what you're thinking of. The current shop is located at 2821 West Wilshire Blvd, Oklahoma City. Enjoy!
@@StoneCottageHome yes that was it. Great place. Isn’t realize you lived in OK City. Have you visited Linda Vater’s home? We went there and met her. Love her channel also.
Wow Rachel This gem of a shop is gorgeous! Where is it located? I could have everything there 😂.
