A friend gave me this several years ago, I love it, as it fits me in description to a tee. "I want to live simply. I want to sit by the window when it rains, and read books I'll never be tested on. I want to paint because I wan to, not because I have got something to prove. I want to listen to my body, fall asleep when the moon is high, and wake up slowly, with no place to rush off to. I want to not be governed by money or clocks or any of the artificial restraints that humanity imposes on itself. I just want to be, boundless and infinite." In Joy
I am so glad you rescued that beautiful tablecloth!! Someone really spent hours stitching , crocheting and sewing. As a needleworker myself, I am glad that someone's work is bringing you joy!! As for poems etc. I guess I am sentimental but Edwin Guest is one of my favorite poets. I also enjoy Emily Dickinson's stanza...Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul and sings the tune without the words and never stops at all. Your chairs are just right!! Getting that fabric placed perfectly required a lot of diligence!!
I love Edwin Guest, he’s considered the peoples poet ❤️❤️❤️ I do love that table cloth so much, needle work is such an art. I love the Emily Dickinson poem too 🥰 Daniel did such a fabulous job and he does have a lot of diligence. ❤️
Oh! And not a poem or quote, but lately I find myself taking hymns more to heart. Current favorite is “What Wondrous Love” 1. What wondrous love is this, O my soul, O my soul! What wondrous love is this, O my soul! What wondrous love is this that caused the Lord of bliss To bear the dreadful curse for my soul, for my soul, To bear the dreadful curse for my soul. 2. When I was sinking down, sinking down, sinking down, When I was sinking down, sinking down, When I was sinking down beneath Gods righteous frown, Christ laid aside His crown for my soul, for my soul, Christ laid aside His crown for my soul. 3. To God and to the Lamb, I will sing, I will sing; To God and to the Lamb I will sing. To God and to the Lamb Who is the great I Am; While millions join the theme, I will sing, I will sing; While millions join the theme, I will sing. 4. And when from death Im free, Ill sing on, Ill sing on; And when from death Im free, Ill sing on. And when from death Im free, Ill sing and joyful be, And through eternity Ill sing on, Ill sing on, And through eternity Ill sing on.
Lovely video and new subscriber here! One of my favorite quotes is by Abraham Lincoln: "We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses".
Such a great video, as always! Thank you! I love the way the chairs came out. What a treasure in that tablecloth! Tablecloths are one of the things I’m always looking for while thrifting. 💓
@@ForgottenWayFarms Yes,sometimes I get fortunate and find some! If you ever get to PA and we find one together I’ll give you first dibs! Have a wonderful day!💓
I love that you have a uniform for around the house... I call them "house-dresses," and it's so nice to come home and change into something comfortable. When I need to leave the house I put on a simple "out of the house dress". It's great.
I love moving items around my home. To me it shows you have developed you own personal style when things can work in any room of your home. My favorite poem is: Trees BY JOYCE KILMER I think that I shall never see A poem lovely as a tree. A tree whose hungry mouth is prest Against the earth’s sweet flowing breast; A tree that looks at God all day, And lifts her leafy arms to pray; A tree that may in Summer wear A nest of robins in her hair; Upon whose bosom snow has lain; Who intimately lives with rain. Poems are made by fools like me, But only God can make a tree.
We used to live in a gorgeous old Victorian farmhouse that we renovated over 30 years. Seeing the Victoria magazines brought back so many memories. I loved that magazine and that house. Little did I know it would suit my living style more now than when I was a younger working woman. With all of its racks for canned goods, harvest room and carriage barn. Oh how I still miss her 4 years later. The young couple who fell in love with her too have let her go and she looks so run down outside. 🥹 after all of our hard work. We have a ranch style home in a cottage style now so we can age in place.
You are a treasure, Abby Jo, as are the beautiful pieces of history 🕯 you care for! One of my favourite quotes is:- “To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you.” - Lewis B. Smedes
Since you shared Secret Garden, I'll also share one of my favorite quotes of all times, and it comes from that same book: "where you tend a rose, my laddie, a thistle cannot grow."
Another wonderful respite spent with you and your husband. Such a good team in so many ways. I could sit and stare at the cow picture all day. All. Day. Long.
I am craving color also. I’ve started some flowers and 🍅 🌶 veggies. I’ll have a small flower garden. I’ve started dried flowers for winter bundles to add around my home. Nice content ! Thank you.
AbbyJo, Your house is looking more and more beautiful with each and every video!! I love the tablecloth, the chairs turned out amazing. I have to say every time I see your incredible cow hanging I am sooooo jealous!! LOL seriously! Thank you to you and your family for sharing your home with us.
Thank you! It really is coming along, it’s been a journey from this summer until now 🥰 my favorite part is decorating my home as I slowly find the right pieces ❤️
Oh my. My mom used to get Victorian magazines all the time in the mail. I love there clothes and style. That brings back so much memories... Thank you❤️❤️❤️☕
Your very lucky that Daniel does all these projects! The tablecloth is gorgeous, it always amazes me finding something that took so long to make only to end up in a second hand store. I could never store my mixer up so high, it’s too heavy lifting up and down all the time. Have a lovely week!
Abby Joe, I just poured a glass of wine, lit a beeswax candle, turned on CZcams and saw your new video! I was soooo excited to curl up and watch. Perfect cozy setting to watch your cozy videos 😍
I have a similar tablecloth that I found at the thrift store three years ago. It’s my favorite one to use at Springtime. I’m always amazed at the detail and always feel like I found a treasure.
Such lovely finds ,the astheetice of your home is so warming to the heart…, and yes such beautiful fabrics for the chairs and that table cloth is stunning…my sister was a designer for vintage patterns, for doily’s, table cloths in all sizes, ..enjoy your beautiful finds and home😊
I just dusted the top of my vintage fridge yesterday 😊 Today I went antiquing and bought an antique glass jar, a pitcher for the fridge, a vintage grater, and a granite ware funnel. Yay for practical antiques! Totally agree about the Scandinavian look of the new upholstery-just thinking the same thing when you said it!
Can't wait to see this!!!!! I film a few of these vides a month and they are my favorite to film and watch others!!!!! Quiet days are needed!!! So much Chaos outside of our homes, that its so satisfying to make our homes sweet, and happy just the way we like it!
Oh My Gosh! I would have fainted in pure joy if I had found that tablecloth! I wo7ld have a ruby red vase filled with red, white and pink flowers! (Red Dahlias, white lilies and pink foxglove sprays!)
The cup of coffee looks wonderful. I was so happy to see that someone still irons as I do. The chairs turned out beautiful but the tablecloth is a treasure for sure. Thanks for a relaxing video.
I used to subscribe to the victorian magazines I just loved them I have done a lot of old victorian Patterson in crosstitch. Your cottage is just beautiful and cosy great job on your Remodel. Thanks for such an enjoyable video. Your friend Deb
'History keeper'. I love that! 🙂 I remember that table cloth, I think you shared it when you bought it. My mom used to have a very similar one. Its beautiful pink roses make it perfect for Spring! 🌺🌺 The chairs turned out great, so symmetrically done! 💕
Another one - As General George Patton said, ‘Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do and they will surprise you with their ingenuity.’
Hello AbbyJo, love ❤️ this video sometimes is just relaxing to dust, clean up a little, and rearrange our treasures in our homes 🏠 making it look fresh… love how you placed the statue with your live terracotta plants 🪴 and your books 📚 and candles 🕯 on the cube wall unit, Beautiful..!! And the upholstered chairs 🪑 they do look Scandinavian love the color fabric and the knitted table cloth.. you all will have some cozy Breakfast’s and dinners for sure… Thanks again so much for this great video .. 👍
I have been looking for a Tom and Jerry punch bowl and glasses but they are pricy here . I keep hoping to find them in a thrift store or cheaper antique store . Love yours ! Looks like it’s in great shape !
What a wonderful day to take some time to relax and enjoy your beautiful video 💕 I love how beautiful your chairs turned out. Just so gorgeous 🥰 I love seeing the pretties you buy and how you place them in your home. It kinda makes you feel like a small part of your family. I could watch your videos everyday, they bring much comfort. Take care ~ Janet 😘
Enjoyed watching every minute of your video! Thanks for sharing. Love your finds from the thrift shop and that you made good use ofnthem in making your home so cozy and warm. Look forward to your next.
I admired your rose quilt on your bed and thought I would like a similar one ,I went to a church rummage sale the next day and lo and behold there was a rose strewn quilt set for $10 then was informed everything half off ,so $5 for a very new looking quilt ,2 shams and bed ruffle ,I was so pleased with myself ,It looks lovely on the bed ,it goes well with the lovely new set of cotton sheets I got a couple of weeks before at the thrift shop ,a dressed bed for $10,
I am new to your channel and enjoy your videos. It is so good to see the art of homemaking and simple living coming back. I also watch another CZcamsr which I think you will enjoy watching as well called Honeyjubu she is a Korean homemaker and shows the art of growing house plants,cleaning & flower arranging, preparing meals for her family.
Thank you, and welcome to our channel! Love that people are seeing the value in home life and simple living. I will look her up, as I have not seen her channel :)
Oh Abby Jo, this made my day!! 🤗. Thank you!!! I had a good chuckle when you were playing around with the Bust. I move stuff around constantly. I'm so indecisive! 🤪. That tablecloth is STUNNING!!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩. I'm so glad you are keeping the History of it! The hours and love that got poured into it!! 💖💖💖💖. I was going to ask you about the Oil Lamp. I have 3 of them and I never use them. I'm terrified in lighting them and how to distinguish it. I see many Women have the lamps and use it, but I have no idea how. PS. Daniel did a fantastic job on those chairs and video taping!! 🙌👍. Like always such a delight!! 💖💖💖💖💖
Hello, friends! Hope you are having a lovely weekend, can't wait to hear your favorite Quote, poems, and poets. Also, for those that don't know we just added buy me coffee as another way to support this channel, I know many of you say these videos are comfort and encouragement. We appreciate any way you choose to support us :) And I want to thank you for all the likes and comments you all give this channel, that means sooo much! buymeacoffee.com/AbbyJo
Hi lovely, I am absolutely terrible at remembering poetry or who wrote it but it changes fir me anyway. I love that beautiful little shelf. And of course that beautiful, intricate tablecloth. Both have found the best home ever to shine in. I think I figured out that buy me a coffee , did it work? I have two linen pinnies now , a green with white spots and a gray . Oversized with pockets and they are so lovely to wear. Thank you for sharing friends 💜
@@countrymousesfarmhouse497 I just now saw that you sent me a coffee ❤️ I’m not joking, I started tearing up as I read your message. It was so special and made me really want to spend the day with you! Your aprons sound delightful 😘💐🌱🌸 hugs my kindred friend.
@@ForgottenWayFarms oh I'm so happy. I get nervous that tech will beat me and a message will be in limbo somewhere and not where it's meant to be. Love you sweetheart
An organic cleaner I picked up from TJ Maxx I always love to have a good cleaner to wipe the table and counters down with. I always pick ones with essential oils that smell good too :)
So many of you asked where I get my aprons, here is the link: amzn.to/3uTIGBj ( affiliate )
A friend gave me this several years ago, I love it, as it fits me in description to a tee.
"I want to live simply. I want to sit by the window when it rains, and read books I'll never be tested on. I want to paint because I wan to, not because I have got something to prove. I want to listen to my body, fall asleep when the moon is high, and wake up slowly, with no place to rush off to. I want to not be governed by money or clocks or any of the artificial restraints that humanity imposes on itself. I just want to be, boundless and infinite." In Joy
Do you know who wrote that??? Oh my goodness… I love it 😍
@@ForgottenWayFarms no, it is anonymous. Type it out for yourself and frame it. ") I have mine hanging in my kitchen. I try to read it weekly.
@@vivianking8143 Thank you 😊
This is perfectly perfect! Susan
Love this!!💙
I am so glad you rescued that beautiful tablecloth!! Someone really spent hours stitching , crocheting and sewing. As a needleworker myself, I am glad that someone's work is bringing you joy!! As for poems etc. I guess I am sentimental but Edwin Guest is one of my favorite poets. I also enjoy Emily Dickinson's stanza...Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul and sings the tune without the words and never stops at all. Your chairs are just right!! Getting that fabric placed perfectly required a lot of diligence!!
I love Edwin Guest, he’s considered the peoples poet ❤️❤️❤️ I do love that table cloth so much, needle work is such an art. I love the Emily Dickinson poem too 🥰 Daniel did such a fabulous job and he does have a lot of diligence. ❤️
That tablecloth is beautiful! I love that she gave it new life and a new home!
I agree that your husband is an incredibly talented man. All of the different projects he has done for you! I admire him.
Thank you, I think he’s special 🥰
Oh! And not a poem or quote, but lately I find myself taking hymns more to heart. Current favorite is “What Wondrous Love” 1. What wondrous love is this,
O my soul, O my soul!
What wondrous love is this, O my soul!
What wondrous love is this
that caused the Lord of bliss
To bear the dreadful curse
for my soul, for my soul,
To bear the dreadful curse for my soul.
2. When I was sinking down,
sinking down, sinking down,
When I was sinking down, sinking down,
When I was sinking down
beneath Gods righteous frown,
Christ laid aside His crown
for my soul, for my soul,
Christ laid aside His crown for my soul.
3. To God and to the Lamb,
I will sing, I will sing;
To God and to the Lamb I will sing.
To God and to the Lamb
Who is the great I Am;
While millions join the theme,
I will sing, I will sing;
While millions join the theme, I will sing.
4. And when from death Im free,
Ill sing on, Ill sing on;
And when from death Im free, Ill sing on.
And when from death Im free,
Ill sing and joyful be,
And through eternity
Ill sing on, Ill sing on,
And through eternity Ill sing on.
Beautiful Bonnie ❤️ Old hymns are beautiful and so powerful.

I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth’s sweet flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in Summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.
Beautiful poem ❤️ I love rearranging and moving things around too 🥰

That is sad, I love the big old Victorian house. They had so much room and lots of pantry space :)
How beautiful! That tablecloth, and the new upholstery on the chairs, is prrfrction, AbbyJo! I loved where you put the bust of the lady!💖
Your home is perfectly curated. Every piece has a purpose and looks well taken care of. All of it looks like it was meant to be there.
Awww, That is so nice of you to say :) I just love to make my home cozy and inviting.

Love the old lamps....what type or brand of oil do you use...thanks
Thank you, I use a paraffin oil that I just buy at a hardware store. It works well and is not stinky like kerosene.

Hi lovely, I am absolutely terrible at remembering poetry or who wrote it but it changes fir me anyway. I love that beautiful little shelf. And of course that beautiful, intricate tablecloth. Both have found the best home ever to shine in. I think I figured out that buy me a coffee , did it work? I have two linen pinnies now , a green with white spots and a gray . Oversized with pockets and they are so lovely to wear. Thank you for sharing friends 💜
@@countrymousesfarmhouse497 I just now saw that you sent me a coffee ❤️ I’m not joking, I started tearing up as I read your message. It was so special and made me really want to spend the day with you! Your aprons sound delightful 😘💐🌱🌸 hugs my kindred friend.
@@ForgottenWayFarms oh I'm so happy. I get nervous that tech will beat me and a message will be in limbo somewhere and not where it's meant to be. Love you sweetheart
@@countrymousesfarmhouse497 love you too 😘
What did you wipe down your dinning room table with?
An organic cleaner I picked up from TJ Maxx I always love to have a good cleaner to wipe the table and counters down with. I always pick ones with essential oils that smell good too :)
What kind of oil lamp oil do you use
It’s an antique one, I picked up at an antique store. 😊
What kind of iron are using?
I haven't watched this video in awhile , I'm not sure I understand your question? :)
Love any of Emily Dickinson
Me too 😊
