One quick cleaning tip: When you are cleaning framed items, spray the cleaner onto your cloth. That way it will disperse more evenly and you don't run the risk of the cleaner seeping under the frame and glass and getting onto your item and possibly causing damage - or ruin - depending on how tightly the frame fits, and what the item underneath is made of. I learned the hard way. Also, you would probably be an excellent seamstress - talented person that you are... There are classes available. Knowing how to make small repairs and alterations can open up a world of options and opportunities with thrifted/vintage finds, both personally and professionally. Something to consider...😄
@@wanya_telbornWhat is not that deep? I thought the advice about cleanining framed needlework was good advice. In fact...I'll even add to it..."A stitch in time, saves nine"...pun intended.
Yes! That’s needlework! I completely understand your panic! Lol I was yelling at the the tablet screen NO NO NO! OH NOOOO! Lol I remember the first piece of needlework I ruined spraying the frame and not the cloth! Heartbreaking.
Please don't skip meals to put out content. We will understand. I looked up and was happy to see you. Those who messaged you probably were checking on your health and well-being, not trying to apply pressure. At least I hope so. Your content is uplifting. And I enjoy your channel alot.
I agree, I messaged her just because I love to see her … I just watched a past video and enjoying now her new one ❤ Take care of yourself first Elise, always! (((HUGS)))
I am 57 and love Lenny Kravitz as well! Good music is good for the soul! I love everything about your style and your channel in general. You are beautiful with your flowing red hair. I'm so impressed with what you've accomplished in your life at your age. AND, you get to do something you're passionate about. Be proud of yourself! I'm proud of you and proud for you!
I remember when I was in my early 20's, my mom introduced me to yard sales and thrift shops. I was so insulted and embarrassed to think I would buy someone's discards.silly girl I was!!! Once I got off my high horse, I realized hoe much fun it was and how much money I saved. Now, that's pretty much all I do when I want to buy something. You know the art of a good buy and it's so much fun. I am glad I put my snobby attitude away and gave thrifting a chance.
The color of the blue coat you're wearing is absolutely gorgeous on you! You may have more luck looking for vintage floor lamps and vintage brass table lamps, you can always change the shade. I have four lamps in my living room, one in my kitchen and four in my bedroom. That way you don't have to use overhead lighting which is not flattering to anyone. Also what you're calling lamps that go on the ceiling are called ceiling light fixtures. Good luck in your treasure hunt.
I love how you have made such a beautiful home for yourself Elise. I have been watching your transformations for years!❤❤❤ Interesting you found hand painted glass. I use to hand paint glass and sell it. It was really popular for a while.
I bought a sugar decanter almost exactly like that at a yard sale once. I don't put sugar in coffee or tea, so I gave it to my sister. Both of us really like rosemaling. Speaking of your content, I still remember a couple years ago when you were doing vlogmas and would open your advent calendars and scratch off the lottery ticket (lol!) every day. For some reason I enjoyed watching that so much. Last year I bought an advent calendar that's a wooden house of drawers. I bought it from Amazon and painted it myself. I was seeing my husband for the first time in almost 3 years! He was working overseas and hadn't been able to come back bc of COVID. So I bought little candies, etc and put them in the advent calendar for him. It was hard finding things that were small enough to fit!
Elise, maybe you need a lighted makeup mirror, the kind that plugs into the wall. The better ones had several different kinds of lighting settings so you could do full daylight or warmer evening light. You might have to buy that new, I never see them in the thrift shops here in CA. The bulbs probably break.
I like you take us on your outings, it give us a look into where you live. It's lovely. The roads are so well taken care of. The roads around our country aren't so well taken care of, sadly. Please, take care of yourself. We expect you when you show up, that's all that's needed. I agree, your hair looks lovely up. Take care.🩷
Regarding your bedroom: cream or peach pink sheets. A solid duvet in the same color. Fold the lovely flowered spread at the bottom of the bed. Get 2 large euro square pillows to prop up your regular pillows. The flowered pillows will look good on the bed in front of your bed pillows. You need lamps on either side of the bed. It would be pretty to have flowered pattern lamps to echo the flowers on the walls. Or just plain white. Those blue and white lamps were gorgeous, sorry they don’t match your bedroom. They might look good in the kitchen as extra light? Not sure. Just thought they were beautiful. ❤❤❤ good shopping. Have a wonderful week. The blue set is gorgeous. Get someone to alter the top. Pearls would look beautiful with it. There are makeup mirrors with lights. The oval flower frame is lovely. ❤
Tins are always so handy, especially for storing baked goods, Elise.. Lovely finds at the thrift shop, but sorry that you couldn't find something in the way of a light for your home. I live in Scotland so our nights are really long now too. Been trying to light candles in the late afternoon, at least one with a scent. It helps lifts one spirit.
I love when you go thrifting! I don’t have many where I live. Elise, thank you I received jeweled hat and post cards. It’s even more beautiful in person! Thank you for all your hard work 🫶
Watching your videos in the morning with my baby (10 months old) playing with his toys independently, a coffee in hand. All while the sun rises is one of my favourite things in my week. You are the best thank you for posting 🥰🥰
Love watching your thrift shop trips. When people compliment your look, you should give them a card for your shop ! In English the word “ clothes” is pronounced exactly like the verb “to close” (tip from an English teacher) 😘
I always love when thrifting is apart of your videos and seeing what you cook or food you buy that’s different from here in the US. You always look so adorable in your outfits. I’m glad people took the time to compliment you. I hope you have a business card to give to them to come visit your place. I’m always amazed at the furniture for sale at your stores. Hope you can rest and relax today.
Hi Elise!! I was happy to see that you uploaded a video today 💃💃💃 I can see why other women would come up & compliment you. You are so gorgeous & stylish. You always look like you just walked off of a beautiful magazine page 😊 I love the painted sugar jar, the embroidery, & the candle holders- so pretty!! Please take care of yourself sweet girl 💖☺️
ohh my goodness that jacket with the gold trim that didnt close looked STUNNING on you! it could be just a easy diy to fix, I think you should go back and get that one before someone else snatches it up!
I love thrifting. You can find such interesting things. Also I live in a different country than what I grew up in so I learn alot about my host country's history, culture and style from shopping in the thrift stores.😊
I'm glad I'm not the only one out there who sets out to thrift on a mission but ends up coming home with everything but! Sometime's it's simply too hard to say no! Also, Elise. I live vicariously through your thrifting videos. I love when you post them. About 3 years ago now I moved about 4 hours north from where I live now. My favorite thing to do was go thrifting. The thrifting experience was so much better Upstate as the shops were cleaner and the items were well kept. Down where I live again now, the thrift shops are a bit of a rip off. The items are not well kept, smelly, old, and priced really high. I miss it so much! Every 6 months or so I make my way Upstate to have the ultimate thrifting experience but it's not the same as doing myself up for the day and going on an adventure. Your videos give me the same excitement so thank you!!
One of my all time favorite channels! Except I’m a “summer” palette and I always wish I were a redhead (like my sister and two granddaughters!) when I see Elise’s clothes. 😢 I’ve said this before, but Elise! I really think you should master alterations and sewing. You would love it so much! It’s a wonderful, satisfying, meditative skill and a lovely way to spend some time. Maybe in 2024 you’ll hunt down a grandma or seamstress who used to have a tailoring job and get her to mentor you!! It would change your entire perspective on the expertise you’ve attained with clothing and fabrics. The only other comparisons I personally experienced were when I started learning to play drums (thank you, hubby) after having played music all my life. Actually playing the drums changed everything about how I understood music. And when I started growing vegetables and fruits myself, it changed everything about cooking. My theory is if you learn some basic clothing construction and alterations, you will have epiphanies. 🥰 xojenny
I look forward to your uploads and have been enjoying your content for years…your home and your gardens are beautiful and your vintage style is perfection 🇨🇦
I always go thrifting for something specific but find everything else... I think this is the essence of thryf thrifting. Last week I went thrifting for fall clothes (cardigans, sweaters, sweater vests) but ended up buying two tank tops and a book.
Please don't forget to show us the gorgeous burgundy dress on you. It looked like it would fit you. I love everything about it. I hope you have more luck with finding the right lighting for your gorgeous home Elise. ⭐
Elise, please don't panic if your posts are late--we understand that you are a real person with a business and a personal life as well. I feel lucky to have the chance to watch your content whenever it's available!🌹🌹 I understand the dilemma about lighting. The house I bought (we are still not moved in--we still need to have some structural work finished and hope to move in after the holidays) has NO overhead lighting! It was built in 1956 as a midcentury modern ranch house in the USA, and the original wiring is meant for table and floor lamps. I love table and floor lamps, but the kitchen is very dark, with one very small window over the sink. I am going to have an electrician wire the ceiling in it for a ceiling fan with a built-in light fixture, and so I will have to buy a brand new one from a home furnishing store. I am lucky that "cottagecore" is very popular right now here in the United States, and I have several antique-looking lights to choose from. Keep looking, and don't settle for something that doesn't make your heart sing!🏠🏠🍲🍲💖💖😻😻👍👍
I've been a thrifter my whole life. I've rarely seen a lamp in good condition in a thrift shop. The plugs are old and the wiring is iffy. Try looking for new lamps. They are probably safer. I love your endless colorful berets.
The blue three piece was very flattering!! The mens jacket was just the color of your hair (I'm sure you know)!!! I look forward each week to your video and would be so disappointed if you didn't post!
I’m catching up on your videos, as I’ve been moving and it’s been too crazy busy to do anything else. I just wanted to leave a comment to tell you how beautiful your videography of your garden and surrounding town are. Your lovely flowers and the gorgeous autumn colors brought a smile to my face. Thank you!🍁💐
I'm so glad that you got the blue outfit! That is one of the most beautiful outfits I've ever seen on you! You looked amazing in it! Good luck finding lamps. It is difficult, but every lamp I have has been thrifted or been given to me. My faves are my Grandmother's that are huge and from the 1940s! I thought were real opal when I was little. When she gave them and her opal ring to me I cried! I'm in an old home with a tons of natural light and ceiling fans in the bedrooms ... I live in the South! The other lighting in the house is too overpowering to keep on. I keep lamps on in most rooms, because I hate walking around in the dark. You'll find them... just keep looking. A few tips ... taller lamps for the bedside if you like to read or work in bed. Too short and they'll not shed light where you want them. Also, a tall lamp at your vanity, so the light will diffuse down on your face and work area. A lighted magnifying side mirror is a nice addition for detail work. Floor lamps are my go to in main living areas, typically in a back corner so they shed light from behind rather that in line of sight. I have one in the back corner of my dining room that comes on with a timer. That was a regular floor lamp that I converted by adding a stained glass "Tiffany style" shade. I keep another two in my living room. One, I light up behind where I sit at night on lowest of three way bulb. I turn on both on high light when cleaning and low light when entertaining. I keep a lamp in my kitchen that comes on with a timer, so I may easily navigate in the evening. I keep a tall lamp with a small bulb in the bathroom to serve as a night light. I have salt lamps in each bedroom and the living room that serve as soft lighting (and air cleaning) when I get up during the night! It's all about nuance and function that disguises the practicality. I live alone and have Furbabies at my feet constantly. I find the lighting I've selected is beautiful and relaxes me. I hope you find the same. I know what you choose will be perfect!
Please don’t ever stress about getting a video out. Love all your content. Loved the wine vintage dress and the suede jacket that matches the colour of your hair . You are such a great shopper and I always enjoy going with you vicariously. Oh and I liked the bouquet in the vase in the oval wood frame❤
I just love how intentional you are about the items you bring into your home🌿 I’ve been learning so much from you and I can’t wait to implement it in my new home🤍 thank you for the weekly inspiration, you’ve made me want to go film the shops now. Have a lovely week!🍂
Maybe a white blouse with outfit with to big a top. You always look so pretty in everything you put on. Your house is coming along. You would have made a great looking flapper woman back in the day.
Try a light therapy/happy lamp for your bedroom as a temporary fix. It mimicks the sun rays that can help with serotonin and vitamin D production. I also bought an older house and there are no ceiling lights in the living room so I've had to buy a few table lamps and even a floor lamp. And thanks for the video. Always love seeing notification that you have new video. ❤
@@EliseBuch Yes it does. And a bonus is that in the winter the light is also good for our house plants when they don't get as much direct sunlight. Hope you try it.
Just bought a blue hat from you...matches that coat love it...re marzipan...my favorite.We have Kringles here with Marzipan...omg..forget lunch. Godspeed Dee
Your hair in the last bit at the end was sooo beautiful ❤ I’ve just realised what I love about your videos..it’s how calming and aesthetically pleasing they are. The little snippets of your garden and choice of music is perfection. When a new vid comes up from you it makes me so happy. Loads of love from the UK 😊
Sorry about the lamps but you got some great pieces. Love the blue 3 piece outfit, you could have the top altered since its too large.. Everything looked beautiful on you. 🧜♀️🌸🥀🌹
Elise thank you so much for the beautiful video.. I too look forward to them ❤… this time a year is tough with the days becoming shorter & leas sunshine… sending you blessing’s & positivity to continue your work! 🙏❤️😊
So funny with thrifting, even though we feel like our want is simple and our tastes are broad, things are just never there at the right time 🤣 Love the grey trench and the brown jacket, I totally agree 80s corporate lady is such a vibe. I watch movies in that genre; Big Business, 9 to 5, Working Girl... such good fashions! Now you really do need that grey briefcase... 😉💝
Anything u put on looks so good on you. You are prefection. You have a gorgeous sense of style and always pick out the very best clothes to model. I may look at something u hold up and go no way , then u put it on and I go absolutely looks fantastic. U pull it off every time without fail. Wow!!and I agree with the person before me, u do need to learn to make small repairs and alterations. It would open up a whole new world for you if u can find the time.
Every video your home looks more and more beautiful, and it's just my taste! Didn't want to rush you with messages but I'm just glad to see your okay. I can't remember seeing you with your hair up, it looks lovely that way! Please don't work too hard.
Elise! You can sew! The best thing is to just do it! Thrift some practice fabric and make some practice pieces. It seems daunting at first but I started sewing with Jersey (which, is quite hard apparently for sewers) and it just happened. You are so creative I am sure you will take to it so quick. Also so many gorgeous independent companies do vintage style patterns x x x
I love when you go thrifting... am the same way....go with a list and every once in a while l actually get something from it!😂 As always you are a bright spot in my week!❤
Beautiful purchases Elise. That blue outfit looks gorgeous on you. Love your videos. I also enjoy your rides through the beautiful countryside on your way to the thrift stores. My daughter and I visit our local thrift stores in Central Florida whenever we get a chance. She always finds nice looking clothes to buy. My granddaughter comes with us too sometimes. She’s 13. She has a good eye too. ❤
Elsie,you always seem to find really cute clothes.I love that color blue..hope to see you wear it.WHAT! NO LAMPS?😮. You are funny. I do love the flower picture( round frame) is really cool.🌟👍💞
Your red dresses remind me of my coat dresses from the early 90's in wool, with pretty gold buttons on them. Way too small for me now but I just can't part with them. I had dark raspberry pink, a coral orange short sleeve, and a purple one. Sigh.
One quick cleaning tip: When you are cleaning framed items, spray the cleaner onto your cloth. That way it will disperse more evenly and you don't run the risk of the cleaner seeping under the frame and glass and getting onto your item and possibly causing damage - or ruin - depending on how tightly the frame fits, and what the item underneath is made of. I learned the hard way. Also, you would probably be an excellent seamstress - talented person that you are... There are classes available. Knowing how to make small repairs and alterations can open up a world of options and opportunities with thrifted/vintage finds, both personally and professionally. Something to consider...😄
Ok calm down it’s not that deep 😂😂😂
Quick tip my butt 😂😂😂😂
@@wanya_telbornWhat is not that deep? I thought the advice about cleanining framed needlework was good advice. In fact...I'll even add to it..."A stitch in time, saves nine"...pun intended.
Thanks for the helpful tip!
Yes! That’s needlework! I completely understand your panic! Lol I was yelling at the the tablet screen NO NO NO! OH NOOOO! Lol I remember the first piece of needlework I ruined spraying the frame and not the cloth! Heartbreaking.

That one with the yellow flowers is beautiful on you
I'm always soooo happy to see you, Elise! Thank you for sharing your beautiful life and making your amazing videos, i appreciate you 🥰
Oops I meant to hit the thumbs up button. I wanted to agree with your comment.
I managed to take it off and have hit the thumbs up button.

Elise, a lovely hygge style video would be perfect soon. Candles and cosy drinks by the fire etc. 🫖🫖🍵🍵
You are such a skilled painter Elise. There is no way I would not have paint all over the carpet and floor. Haha.
And myself!
Yes to cream!
I bought a sugar decanter almost exactly like that at a yard sale once. I don't put sugar in coffee or tea, so I gave it to my sister. Both of us really like rosemaling.

I’m glad you bought the blue outfit. You looked really nice in it! Hope you find the lamps you
need.
I’m so glad you bought the blue outfit. It was just stunning on you. Good luck on lamps.
The blue set you bought is really your colour-it suits you so well. Looking forward to seeing you style it up 😊

There are makeup mirrors with lights.
The oval flower frame is lovely. ❤
The view of the trees on your drive is amazing.😊
Oh man, that rust/brown sofa was beautiful - would have been fantastic in your space - but it was sold!!!
The sunflower dress is so great.
Elise, I love the way you styled your hair at the end of the video. So classy! You are such a pretty young lady. As always, I love your style.
Tins are always so handy, especially for storing baked goods, Elise.. Lovely finds at the thrift shop, but sorry that you couldn't find something in the way of a light for your home.

I love when you go thrifting! I don’t have many where I live. Elise, thank you I received jeweled hat and post cards. It’s even more beautiful in person! Thank you for all your hard work 🫶
Watching your videos in the morning with my baby (10 months old) playing with his toys independently, a coffee in hand. All while the sun rises is one of my favourite things in my week. You are the best thank you for posting 🥰🥰
Elise , A white linen quilt set with pink and green accessories would look nice in your bedroom ..🤗🤗
I realy liked the blue and white lamps you showed in the begining, totaly my style.
Love watching your thrift shop trips. When people compliment your look, you should give them a card for your shop ! In English the word “ clothes” is pronounced exactly like the verb “to close” (tip from an English teacher) 😘
The vowel yes.
We still dont say it "close" but, thz, perhaps!
Elise doesnt like her pronouncements being pointed out tho, feom memory
My favorite thing you thrifted is the suede jacket, it matches your hair perfectly.
I always love when thrifting is apart of your videos and seeing what you cook or food you buy that’s different from here in the US. You always look so adorable in your outfits. I’m glad people took the time to compliment you. I hope you have a business card to give to them to come visit your place. I’m always amazed at the furniture for sale at your stores. Hope you can rest and relax today.
I thought the blue and white patterned lamps were very pretty. You always look very stylish and put together, even when gardening!
Yes. I was hoping she would buy them. Ha Ha
That sunflower dress is so pretty!! The dress that you wore thrifting is perfection on you, Elise.
I love the sunflower dress on you Elise💖. But then again you could make a trash bag look fantastic!
I am always looking forward to your videos. You work very hard to keep us entertained but don't compromise your health for it.
Hi Elise!! I was happy to see that you uploaded a video today 💃💃💃 I can see why other women would come up & compliment you. You are so gorgeous & stylish. You always look like you just walked off of a beautiful magazine page 😊 I love the painted sugar jar, the embroidery, & the candle holders- so pretty!! Please take care of yourself sweet girl 💖☺️

Thank you for your hard work! You have always been a hard worker 🙏🏻😊
I was so pleased you bought the blue set Elise. You looked absolutely lovely in it.
Another wonderful video. Just ❤️Them. The suede jacket matches your hair perfectly.
I tried to count the number of different colourful berets in this video 😄 They all look amazing on you. Xx
Agree
Love the blue outfit on you! Your world calms my soul, and I love the way you say plaid, it makes me chuckle every time! 🇺🇸🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻

The purple dress is soooo beautiful! ! Are you going to show us how it looks on you? I hope so.
I will show on Instagram in a styling reel soon 🥰

Love love love those blue ans white lamps for my bedroom
Thank you for sharing take your time because we will be here love your channel have a wonderful blessed weekend and week.
That blue outfit looked amazing on you and loved the sugar poorer. Have a great week :)
The orange flower dress should be up around September bc it's a Fall colored dress...well, in the US it is, lol.😉👍
I've been a thrifter my whole life. I've rarely seen a lamp in good condition in a thrift shop. The plugs are old and the wiring is iffy. Try looking for new lamps. They are probably safer. I love your endless colorful berets.
The blue three piece was very flattering!! The mens jacket was just the color of your hair (I'm sure you know)!!! I look forward each week to your video and would be so disappointed if you didn't post!
Oh you are wearing that beautiful new dress.
Liked that gray trench coat.
that blue outfit s is a wonderful color for you with your hair & eyes
Lovely video, thanks for sharing 🥰👍
I’m catching up on your videos, as I’ve been moving and it’s been too crazy busy to do anything else. I just wanted to leave a comment to tell you how beautiful your videography of your garden and surrounding town are. Your lovely flowers and the gorgeous autumn colors brought a smile to my face. Thank you!🍁💐
I'm so glad that you got the blue outfit! That is one of the most beautiful outfits I've ever seen on you! You looked amazing in it!
Good luck finding lamps. It is difficult, but every lamp I have has been thrifted or been given to me. My faves are my Grandmother's that are huge and from the 1940s! I thought were real opal when I was little. When she gave them and her opal ring to me I cried!
I'm in an old home with a tons of natural light and ceiling fans in the bedrooms ... I live in the South! The other lighting in the house is too overpowering to keep on.
I keep lamps on in most rooms, because I hate walking around in the dark. You'll find them... just keep looking.
A few tips ... taller lamps for the bedside if you like to read or work in bed. Too short and they'll not shed light where you want them. Also, a tall lamp at your vanity, so the light will diffuse down on your face and work area. A lighted magnifying side mirror is a nice addition for detail work.
Floor lamps are my go to in main living areas, typically in a back corner so they shed light from behind rather that in line of sight. I have one in the back corner of my dining room that comes on with a timer. That was a regular floor lamp that I converted by adding a stained glass "Tiffany style" shade. I keep another two in my living room. One, I light up behind where I sit at night on lowest of three way bulb. I turn on both on high light when cleaning and low light when entertaining.
I keep a lamp in my kitchen that comes on with a timer, so I may easily navigate in the evening. I keep a tall lamp with a small bulb in the bathroom to serve as a night light. I have salt lamps in each bedroom and the living room that serve as soft lighting (and air cleaning) when I get up during the night!
It's all about nuance and function that disguises the practicality. I live alone and have Furbabies at my feet constantly. I find the lighting I've selected is beautiful and relaxes me. I hope you find the same. I know what you choose will be perfect!
Always happy when I see a new Elise video 🥰
Thank you so much ! 🥰
Please don’t ever stress about getting a video out. Love all your content. Loved the wine vintage dress and the suede jacket that matches the colour of your hair . You are such a great shopper and I always enjoy going with you vicariously. Oh and I liked the bouquet in the vase in the oval wood frame❤
A wonderful video this week!
Loved it all
Grey trench is gorgeous
Elise, I always look forward to your content! That blue outfit was stunning on you.
I just love how intentional you are about the items you bring into your home🌿 I’ve been learning so much from you and I can’t wait to implement it in my new home🤍 thank you for the weekly inspiration, you’ve made me want to go film the shops now. Have a lovely week!🍂
Maybe a white blouse with outfit with to big a top. You always look so pretty in everything you put on. Your house is coming along. You would have made a great looking flapper woman back in the day.
Try a light therapy/happy lamp for your bedroom as a temporary fix. It mimicks the sun rays that can help with serotonin and vitamin D production. I also bought an older house and there are no ceiling lights in the living room so I've had to buy a few table lamps and even a floor lamp. And thanks for the video. Always love seeing notification that you have new video. ❤
Have you tried a hamp like that? do you feel like it worked? I've considered getting one to wake me up in the winter months...
My friend in Canada uses one.
@@EliseBuch Yes it does. And a bonus is that in the winter the light is also good for our house plants when they don't get as much direct sunlight. Hope you try it.
The top with the blue set would be easy to take in. Just sow along the seams under the arms to tighten it
Just bought a blue hat from you...matches that coat love it...re marzipan...my favorite.We have Kringles here with Marzipan...omg..forget lunch.
Godspeed

Your hair in the last bit at the end was sooo beautiful ❤ I’ve just realised what I love about your videos..it’s how calming and aesthetically pleasing they are. The little snippets of your garden and choice of music is perfection. When a new vid comes up from you it makes me so happy. Loads of love from the UK 😊
Sorry about the lamps but you got some great pieces. Love the blue 3 piece outfit, you could have the top altered since its too large.. Everything looked beautiful on you. 🧜♀️🌸🥀🌹
Oo re candles on your glass table, pop a cork or other mat under them. I had candles heat up on the base and almost crack a glass table!
Elise thank you so much for the beautiful video.. I too look forward to them ❤… this time a year is tough with the days becoming shorter & leas sunshine… sending you blessing’s & positivity to continue your work! 🙏❤️😊
So funny with thrifting, even though we feel like our want is simple and our tastes are broad, things are just never there at the right time 🤣 Love the grey trench and the brown jacket, I totally agree 80s corporate lady is such a vibe. I watch movies in that genre; Big Business, 9 to 5, Working Girl... such good fashions! Now you really do need that grey briefcase... 😉💝
hahha true the grey briefcase would work really well with that trenchcoat 🥰
Anything u put on looks so good on you. You are prefection. You have a gorgeous sense of style and always pick out the very best clothes to model. I may look at something u hold up and go no way , then u put it on and I go absolutely looks fantastic. U pull it off every time without fail. Wow!!and I agree with the person before me, u do need to learn to make small repairs and alterations. It would open up a whole new world for you if u can find the time.
Every video your home looks more and more beautiful, and it's just my taste! Didn't want to rush you with messages but I'm just glad to see your okay. I can't remember seeing you with your hair up, it looks lovely that way! Please don't work too hard.
Thank you so much for the consideration to my health 🥰
I loved that couch that had already been sold. Also maybe some wall sconces for your vanity would be nice. Love the sparkly top too.
Love the Grey trench ❤
I think the trench coat was a wonderful purchase. Hope you find your lamps soon🌟
Elise! You can sew! The best thing is to just do it! Thrift some practice fabric and make some practice pieces. It seems daunting at first but I started sewing with Jersey (which, is quite hard apparently for sewers) and it just happened. You are so creative I am sure you will take to it so quick. Also so many gorgeous independent companies do vintage style patterns x x x
the jacket and the blouse.
I love when you go thrifting... am the same way....go with a list and every once in a while l actually get something from it!😂
As always you are a bright spot in my week!❤
I love your channel. ❤
THE DRESS IS PERFECT ......MY FAVOURITE COLOUR !
Beautiful purchases Elise. That blue outfit looks gorgeous on you. Love your videos. I also enjoy your rides through the beautiful countryside on your way to the thrift stores. My daughter and I visit our local thrift stores in Central Florida whenever we get a chance. She always finds nice looking clothes to buy. My granddaughter comes with us too sometimes. She’s 13. She has a good eye too. ❤
Good morning from Canada.😊❤
Elsie,you always seem to find really cute clothes.I love that color blue..hope to see you wear it.WHAT! NO LAMPS?😮. You are funny. I do love the flower picture( round frame) is really cool.🌟👍💞
Your red dresses remind me of my coat dresses from the early 90's in wool, with pretty gold buttons on them. Way too small for me now but I just can't part with them. I had dark raspberry pink, a coral orange short sleeve, and a purple one. Sigh.
I'm very glad you got the blue set. The colour looks so good on you.
