  • Great finds at the thrift stores this week! You have to see my new mirror and bedroom decor! I decorate on a tight budget for my home but thrift stores help me so much to make it cozy and interesting! I have six rooms to decorate and am trying to respect the 1939 Cape Cod-style cottage. So much happened this week~ I bought new furniture, planned my gardens for next spring, bought new bedroom curtains and rods ,and just took a little time to live life in my new city! Getting ready for fall!!!!!!!!!!!! It's here!
    I have something personal to share with you always... and I also want to talk about my obsession with Shoeless Joe Jackson...its like I am trying to figure out what his dramatic life has to teach me. I keep searching.
    Thank you so much for being here...I read your comments every week and you make me laugh and cry and always teach me lessons I can use forever. You make me better.
    Love to you always ad always,
    Susan & Desi

      It felt so good!!! It didn't start out that way!!!! I was thinking of ways I could get that sculpture out of her cart!!! But then...I saw the faces of those children....xxoo love to you...always, Susan & Desi

      I love the way you helped this young woman. Overstepping the boundaries, I was about to suggest that you could sell the sculpture for her and give her the money. I'm so happy that her mom knows how to sell on Ebay! I love you and Desi!

      That woman probably said to her mother, " I can't believe I was in the right place at the right time. There was a woman in the store who knew how much this was worth, and was nice enough to tell me."

    Maybe that message from Shoeless Joe is “if you build it they will come”. You built a lovey home this year. Your son came, your grandchildren come, your friends come and we come to your home every Saturday night.😊
    Ps love the bedroom. So beautiful.

      Once again, as always, I love your videos. I can’t even begin to tell you of all the parallels our lives share! It so fun for me. Last night when you were sharing the colors of your new bedroom colors, I knew you were going to say your color choice was lavender! Of course, mine is too! Then the blue willow dishes!! My mother’s favorite. Every meal of my childhood was eaten on blue willow. My pup Betty and I never miss a video. Thank your for comforting, supporting, encouraging, and teaching us all so many valuable lessons.

    Susan, I am sooo proud of you for telling the young mother that she had a valuable gem in her cart and God is very proud of you too. Your story about the wall sculpture really touched my heart. I live in Florida and we don’t have a fall. I am originally from up north and I really miss the leaves turning colors… especially the red sugar maple leaves.
    LOVE TO YOU AND DESI!❤

    Dearest Susan, I must admit as you began your story about the young mother in the thrift store, I was disappointed as you were rationalizing your thoughts. But as you finished your story I was cheering you on with tears in my eyes. There is so much wrong in the world right now, and so many horrible things that people are doing to each other, but you literally restored my faith in humanity for the moment, and this quote popped into my mind, "So shines a good deed in a weary world". Love you tons!

    I love it when you have shows where you shop at the thrift stores. Well, going from summer to fall is for me a fun time. I like redecorating for the season or buying a new fall shirt. Here in Seattle, the change happens quickly. The leaves are changing, the heater is kicking on in the night... right now, it's raining. I embrace it. Now winter, that's another subject.

    Susan I was a pre-school teacher for many years. I live in New Zealand. One of the songs I used to sing with the children was. Aroha (the Maori word for love) is loving if you give it away, give it away, give it away. Aroha is loving if you give it away, it comes right back to you. It's just like a magic penny, hold on tight and you won't have any. Lend it, spend it, give it away, and it comes right back to you. This being the case, I expect you won't have enough walls to put all the Lee treasures on you will find in the future. What a beautiful woman you are, like the princess your grand-daughter longs to be, living in the beautiful castle decorated by treasures old and new. Good things come in little dwellings as well, even if they are only brick and sand castles. It's what dwells within that counts. Aroha Christine.

    I worked all week taking care of my lady with Dementia as her kids went to Italy so I worked Sunday to Saturday. I am partial to Dementia patients as my mother passed away from complications from Dementia.. Anyway, your bedroom sounds delightful and I think you made a good choice changing to lavender for sleeping. I love old things but I have so much from my mother and grandmother I can't possibly buy anymore. My kids can all furnish their houses with the amount of things that were left to me. I still haven't unpacked my garage and I received it in 2019!!!! There are glass pieces and sterling. I just hope that there's no mice setting up shop. Your home looks so charming and cozy. You are doing a spectacular job decorating! Thank you for showing us! I have collectors castles that I wish I lived closer, I'd give them to you. Have a beautiful week, you and Desi! He's a star! Oct 11th is one year since my boy left us and crossed the rainbow bridge. Fortunately, we got a Cavapoo or Cavadoodle to play with my daughter's Golden doodle and they are such good friends plus I have my old dogs mate, a Maltese Shitzu who is 11 and she's warming up to the puppy. Actually, she's in charge and scares Layla! Enough rambling. You are such a sweetheart. ❤ That was so kind of you to tell that woman about that piece. You have integrity which is greatly lacking in today's world. Your stories are always inspiring.

    You did the right thing. That is always the most important. You have already received a reward and that is peace within yourself. You have to love yourself first so you can give to others. If you would have gotten that piece and hung it on the wall you would have brought negativity into your home influencing you and your sweet pup. When I watch your videos you come into my home and it is a good thing.

    Thank you for lifting my spirits! Please never refer to yourself as fat you are not. The story you told about the thrift store touched my heart. I have worked in community service for many years and helped many, recently I have been thinking people are so take take take its all about me. It was so uplifting the story you told about the women buying the wall art for her mother. Sometimes as my mother would say things happen for a reason, you shared your knowledge of art and a gift of hope and happiness. So much so you gave that woman hope a precious gift, but to also know there are people like you who truly care

    I just loved the last week… I was in Pune in my new little flat, finished decorating,returned home to Mumbai and performed some religious festival, Lord Ganesha’s birthday, and went back again. My husband saw the final decor for the first time and two of our friends too, and they were so full of praise and wonder at the lovely decor which I wish I could share with you! Except for two or three things ( okay ten, counting the lights and lamps) I haven’t bought new decor : I just shopped from my home but it looks so organic, as if it was always there! I am happy Susan, I have my own home which I paid for and decorated to my heart’s desire, something I wanted to do since childhood!

    The ripple effects of your honesty is so huge! We may not realize it in the moment. If you had acted differently, think of what it would have done to your heart seeing her car. It was a gift to her but I believe an even bigger gift to you. I hope many are touched by your example. I know I am! You made a positive difference in the world! God bless you, Susan! Absolutely love your new bedroom! Thanks for sharing!

    It’s 9:12 at night and the temperature is still 90. It won’t be Fall here for a long time. But it’s always good to spend time with you and Desi. Two of Gods greatest creations, that who you are. It’s not treasure we build here on earth but that in Heaven that counts. You gave that young mom a true treasure. Love you Susan and Desi 💕

    Bless you, Susan, you have such a good heart! That piece of art will end up where it is supposed to be. I find comfort believing that to be true. You did the right thing. Thanks for this special video this week. I love your beautifully romantic bedroom, I especially love the curtains. 💞

    to me, a thrift shop is better than Saks Fifth Avenue. i have a hard time looking at people filming in thrift stores because i have studied glass for many years and when someone passes something good by, eeek!

    I found little maybe 1/2 cup size wide mouth Mason jars at a thrift store today with the lids. Perfect for my spices. I love them. Desi sleeping behind you is so precious. Your bedroom is beautiful. 💜

    Maybe the lesson of Joe Jackson is that a person who looks like they have fallen from what society considers high places might actually find peace and joy in a quiet simple life. He might not have been “broken”. He might just be humble and content. Love your bedroom!

    OMG your Bedroom looks gorgeous and whoever is cutting your hair cuts beautifully your hair looks great! What you did for that young Mother was great because she had no idea the worth of what she had in her basket but GOD put you both there at the same time so you could reach out to her and let her know I hope she sells it and buy's some things that she may need....

      I so agree and God’s Son has said, there is more happiness in giving than there is in receiving. Susan’s feelings of happiness afterwards is the reward!

    Susan you are the most beautiful soul and you are just resplendent in white! Earlier today I watched an older video when you were still in that first little apartment. I rejoiced at how far the goodness of God and how far He has brought you… from a little 500 sq ft apartment to this DARLING HOME you are creating for yourself and Desi❣️ We need to live in a place for a bit and allow it to speak to us in order to get it just right. People often try to do too much too soon (and end up dissatisfied with the result). RESONANCE is the signature of authenticity!!! Your lavender bedroom is so YOU and so GORGEOUS! You sowed an important seed by telling that young mom about what she had in her cart. No doubt it will yield a harvest for you that will be exceedingly, abundantly, above and beyond anything you can imagine… just you wait and see❣️ Much love from Texas 😘❤️

    Goodness is about character, integrity, honesty, kindness, generosity, moral courage, and the like. More than anything else, it is about how we treat other people.
    Awesome choice! Love your bedroom, it's feels peaceful and comfortably. I live in Florida so we don't have to much change from summer to fall, but I love the colors of fall and the change of weather. 🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂

    Wow, your story of the woman and her kids in the thrift store was wonderful. You are so kind! I love your newly decorated bedroom, in lavender and white. The diaphanous curtains are lovely, and I can see why you waited for the pillow shams to come in -- they're adorable. The story of Shoeless Joe Jackson was really moving. You should look up the value of a Shoeless Joe baseball card. Love to you and darling Desi 💗 💗

    Thank you for sharing! I appreciate your integrity and empathy for the young single Mom!! I just turned 65 this month. I brought myself new sheets and pillows! I have been looking for a new comforter for a few years! The one you picked just might have the right amount of purple to go well in my bedroom! It's very pretty!! And that little fireplace! I am tempted and may really splurge!

    Dear Susan,
    God has blessed you with so many pretty things in your home that even if you loved the sculpture it would have no value and the beauty would have pale compared to your sincere honesty and kindness. Trust me you are going to find something even better and grander than that sculpture and your will be so overjoyed. Promise when you find that special piece that sparks ⚡️ joy you will show and share how it makes you feel. It’s coming and truly can’t wait to see it. ✨💫

    Wow, you always amaze me! I'm 68 and when I was 1st divorced and my Son was a young boy, I would shop at thrift stores to decorate our home so he would feel comfortable having his Friends over, as I never received child.. support and to this day I still have many items! My Mom had blue willow dishes, they were our everyday! I love to thrift! I love yr bedroom and I have a bed almost like yours! You were very gracious to not covenant that piece and share the value because God already knows your heart, He just wanted you to know it ❤

    Susan, I watched this lovely video a couple of weeks ago from my bed at the end of the day and didn't have a chance to leave a comment at the time, so I really wanted to make sure I did that now. You absolutely did the right thing regarding that young mother in the thrift store! What you "lost" in an object gave you so much more on a human level; a heart filled with joy that another person who needed a break got one because of your honesty, kindness, empathy and integrity--WOW, that is hitting the Jackpot!! I am proud to have you as my CZcams friend! ♥♥♥🥰

  • @StephiesBeadsandBaubles
    @StephiesBeadsandBaubles Před 10 měsíci +1

    Susan that was a wonderful story. You gave that young mother a gift more grand than I think you even realize. By telling her about that beautiful piece and the value it holds, you gave her and her mother a gift that they possibly needed very badly ,but you also gave them a new tool. Something that they can do to help improve their circumstances. Reselling can change lives and you possibly gave that gift to this family and opened their eyes to many possibilities. It was a beautiful thing to do!
    Your bedroom came out just lovely and will be a perfect retreat during the winter!
    I wish it felt like fall here because fall has always been my favorite season. But it was 100° on Sunday and it’s been staying in the high 80s low 90s at the lowest . I cannot wait until it cools down and feels like fall but it might be well into October or even November before our area has even a slight hint of fall!
    I love Field of dreams, my husband was just watching it the other day again while he was listing on eBay! We’re trying to build a business for him to retire early next year. Something we’ve done for 20 years very part time but now it’s going to be full-time when he retires next year much earlier than we had planned due to mobility issues that we never saw coming. So I understand the gift you gave that woman . It was a beautiful thing to do.❤
