I am Marla, and I am so honored that you've found my channel and spent some time with me! I am a crafter from the cradle (or at least age three!) and raising my five grown children has taught me a million lessons in life, including thrifting and DIY master status, haha! I hope that you will find encouragement and inspiration when you sit to have a chat with me as I share my love of decor, crafting, vintage everything, and my love for Jesus! I absolutely love seeing your comments and responding to every one of them. God is good and I hope your life is blessed ❤

Oh, sweet Marla, I just love you to pieces!! I cherish my great and great great grandmothers hand made quilts that I'm now blessed to be the caretaker of. Some of them are indeed in need of some love and are thread bare in areas. I'm trying to go quilt by quilt and take my time to hand stitch those areas. I will tell you that each and every time I sit down to repair them, I become emotional because my grandmothers' hands were the last hands that touched the quilts' batting or the underside of the fabric squares. To work on a piece that their hands lovingly fashioned, makes me feel honored and blessed. Also, thank you for your sweet, timely words at the end of your video. Since moving to VA, though we know this is where God has lead us, this has been a very hard season. We blindly followed His leading and we have yet to see all the good blessings He has for us, but we are choosing to trust that His promises with come to pass because we obeyed His calling.
Rachel, I love that you're restoring your heritage quilts and mindful of the fact that those precious ladies' hands were the last to touch those hidden seams ❤️
While you're waiting for all the promises, ask God to let you see the blessings in the waiting. He wants better for us than we can imagine, and is faithful to see you through. Obedience that feels blind is the purest form of obedience. Doesn't make sense on paper, but the calling is undeniable. Trusting that lead is rooting you deeply in your walk with Him. He sees you. 🙌
@@marlacainraisingcain Thank you sweet friend 💗
His blessings are many and He will pour them out on you because you are obedient. As I have gotten older, I understand what you mean about the emotional feelings that come with the quilt repairs. Continue to follow the Lord and those blessings will rain down on you!!
Ditto!!! Love Marla and her stories!
Thank you for your sweet words today!❤. Sometimes we can be so overwhelmingly discouraged, but we must persevere, finish the race for our reward is when we are in heaven with our precious Lord Jesus. I do know it is hard for those of us who believe. He never said life would become easy the second we believe, but that He will be with us and never leave nor forsake us.❤
For sure we are not exempt from troubles, but He so often uses those hard times for our good! 🙌
Love the quilt! We have to remember to stay faithful and God’s timing is always right on time!
I told the dear soul I am praying with, that when we feel like it's taking a long time to get our breakthrough, God is working behind the scenes, taking what the enemy meant for our harm and instead using it for our good. And in the waiting, He is molding us into something that looks more like Him ❤
The quilt is the reason I will always love the hunt 🏆😊
I can't click on your videos fast enough when I see you have posted. I love the quilt and old bottles. You are definitely the saver of all old quilts! I can truly feel your passion for the goodness in all people and the connection you have with God. I look forward to your next video! Tfs❤
😄 Tammy, it makes my heart glad to know you enjoy watching! I do know God is good, does not want to see us suffer without cause, and has a plan to prosper us when we trust His direction ❤️ 🙌
To age your paper fan, use your finger to rub in some brown powdered eye shadow. It won’t damage the paper.
Well that's a perfect idea! 🥰 Thanks!
I get so excited when I see that you post a video. I just love your videos and I appreciate old things as you do. I have several of my both my grandmas quilts. I sit there and think of all the stories she has told me of all the quilting bees and thank you for all your wonderful words. I wish I was your next door neighbor and I really needed to hear your words of encouragement. God bless you and your family!❤️
😌 Kathryn, we can be CZcams next door neighbors 💕
I love hearing stories from our grandmothers! About how they took the leftover bits of fabric and made something beautiful for their families ❤️
Love your treasures, the blue edge on the enamel ware is cobalt blue.
Well, yes, that's the most accurate! I knew navy or royal weren't quite it! 😄
Oh Marla, I simply adore you. I love the things you love, I love God and I love to watch you do any video you choose.
😭 gracious and uplifting words, Bonnie! Thank you! 💕
The cow might look good out in the she shed. My uncle raised highland cows. I love old bottles and collect them. When my mom passed, she had a box full of them in her basement. I was fortunate to get her collection to add to mine.
Oh, YES, in the she shed... there will surely be a spot there for a 12x12 old barnwood frame and that long haired beauty! 😍 Good idea!
Oh, you dear sweetheart, Marla. I loved your video. My mother made many, many quilts in her day long before her stroke. I display one of her first ones proudly on her daddy's rocking chair in my living room. And your message spoke so truly to me. I have quite a full plate at the moment, and there are many times when I just feel so exhausted, like I can't do anymore. You gave me the boost I needed to carry on. Thank you so much for being you. You are beautiful.
What a priceless treasure, to have your mother's quilts ❤️ and to display it on her daddy's rocking chair! That's just wonderful.
I'm so glad my words at the end touched a place in your heart and gave you encouragement. I felt extra prompted by the Lord to share that, and it made me so emotional. I believe God knew many of my frans would need to hear it. How amazed I am at how He weaves us all together! ❤️ 🙌
Put the paper fan flag outside and put some old coffee or tea in a water spraying bottle and spray it on both sides girl that will age it
I wondered about spraying it... it's super cheap paper so I'll have to be cautious as I try the spray. Might fleck it with antique wax on a toothbrush 🪥
I love your Highland cow. I have a print of a nun leading a black and white cow that i use as a backsplash behind my stove. The nun reminds me of my old music teacher and i love her. :)
I've never seen a highland cow in person, but their photos are amazing! And I love that your print brings you sweet memories 💕 😊
I love the quilt, I love all your all of your finds. Thank you for sharing sweet lady ❤
Aw, thanks so much, Jean! 😊✨️
❤
Always appreciate your encouragement...💗💗💗🇺🇸
It is my joy to send encouragement to my sister friends! 💕 😌 🙌
You are so precious. If we were neighbors or friends I can only imagine the hoards we would have!
😄 I have to work hard to keep my treasures under control! I could give up thrifting... but what fun is that?!?
I have never seen the navy blue around the edge of a dish. Oh..the highland Cow is to adorable!!!! LOVE the quilt! I am a quilt lover and I also make quilts. My husband built me a bracket with a dowel rod tween it that my quilt will fit on it. I change it out with each season. Thanks for sharing!!
I didn't even know blue edged enamelware existed! I'm thrilled with it! 😃 and I love changing decor seasonally. So much fun! 🇺🇸
I found a rustic barnwood frame in my stash for the highland cow. Will share soon! 🐮
I wanted you to know it is your love and appreciation for the story behind each treasure you find that has made me a loyal follower! I feel the same. I love the old not as crazy about the new. And you show me knew ways to decorate that I never thought of before and it is so much fun. Oh and girl, I luv old enamel ware. I can never pass up a piece!
Aww, Bertha, I'm so glad you told me that! 😊 I always wonder about who owned a thing, what they used it for, where it has traveled over the years... super interesting to me! I'm happy that you get new ideas from me as well. When I'm watching videos, I will quickly jot down new ideas that I see. Keeps everything fresh! 💕
They are precious to me.
Of course that quilt was meant for you! Absolutely beautiful ❤️
I am SMITTEN with it!! 💕 😃
Thank you Marla for your prayer it touched my heart.
I'm so glad it did! 😊 💕
Hi Marla, that quilt is beautiful. I just found out today my husband is going to need bypass surgery, on top of my health issues, its seems all so overwhelming. I will trust GOD, and pray his will be done. I would appreciate any prayers❤ God Bless you and take care 🥰Brenda
Brenda, I will pray for you now and in the coming days:
Lord, we trust You. We know You want healing and blessings for us. But we also know that You are working in ways we cannot see and cannot understand. We trust You still. We know You see all that is happening in Brenda and her husband's lives, and You are not surprised or caught off guard or distracted. Your love for them is unwavering. They'll never be more loved than they are right now. I ask that you impart peace and strength, greater than they have known before. You are Jehovah Rapha, our God who heals. You may heal through the skilled hands of a surgeon, or by a miracle, but we know You are the source. We trust You. In Jesus's name we pray, Amen.
Thank you so much Marla, I needed that you are a gift from GOD♥️🤗Brenda
I always get a little giddy when I see you have a new video, Marla!! My daughter in Texas has a part of an old ladder that she puts her throws on... It makes for beautiful decor! Maybe you can create something like that for your newly rescued quilt... I'm looking forward to your next video! Hugs! ♥🌻
Oh, I do have a ladder that could be used that way... 🤔 that's a great idea!
Great finds, thanks for sharing. I’d love to see how you do the Knick-knack holder up - the music paper will look great. 🌟 (you’re a very bonnie lady btw)
How sweet you are! ❤️ I will definitely include the knick knack shelf in a future flips video... thinking I will call it the Granny Chic collection 😄 👵 🪴
Be still my heart, I just saw the quilt you bought!! I will try real hard with the Lord's help not to be jelly😂
I know!! 🎉 it's a real prize! And it helps console me over the deals that I missed on other days 😂😊
You got some wonderful things to keep you busy! Bless you,Terri
Thanks, Terri! 😃✨️
I was away visiting my little granddaughter when I received the notification for this video. Spending time with her is the only thing that would keep me from watching it right away. But when we got back home, I couldn't wait to see what treasures you had found. I love the quilt and it was meant for you to rescue. I wonder if there would be a spot for your highland cow in the she shed when it is finished. I guess, since I grew up on a farm, sheds make me think of livestock.😂 Also, I have aged copy paper before by soaking in coffee or tea. Maybe you could age the fans that way. Thank you so much for your words of encouragement at the end. My heart needed those words right now. Thank you for blessing our lives with laughter and encouragement.❤
Grandbabies trump all else! I spent the day with my twin grandsons yesterday. They have my heart ❤️
I'm going to experiment on those fans today. There's 6 in a pack, and they were cheap, so I'm willing to risk a couple to the soaking method. I'll have to handle them like a surgeon would, the paper is so thin. I am also going to try misting with a brown spray paint, from a few feet away and see what that does. Feeling brave 😄
I may put the highland cow in my sons' bathroom, because it would be cute in there, and because if I put it in there and don't say a word, I will likely get some funny feedback. 😆
I am so glad you heard personal meaning in my words at the end of the video. I really felt prompted to share that, as it has been huge in my mind as I pray for and with someone very close to me. God often gives us direction, and if we listen, it often plays a role in His plan for us! Lord, give me ears to hear You more! 🙌
God bless you & your family ✝️
I love the quilt! Gorgeous colors. $24 is a great price. I’m new to your channel and I’m of a kindred mindset- a rescuer of old things. You’re a blessing.
Nice to meet you, Katie! 👋😃
I thought that quilt was well worth $24, and it is one of the prettiest I have ever found! I truly enjoy the old relics I find! 💕
Another great haul Marla. I enjoy watching you so much. You're such a sweet lady and an inspiration to us all. ✌❤🙏
Thank you, Sandra, for such kind words! Thank you for taking the time to let me know you're enjoying my channel! 😊 💕
Love the quilt!!! I have a quilt my great-grandmother made all by hand using old clothes. It’s hanging on the wall behind my couch. I also have a quilt my husband’s great-grandmother made, I don’t have the history about the material but it’s lovely also. I have it hanging on the wall in my hall.
How wonderful to have antique quilts handed down, and to know history about them! I have a couple special ones like that, but my heart is tender toward any antique quilt that falls into my path. I'm sure every time you go down your hall, your heart smiles at that quilt! 😊 💕
Marla I think you could put some tea or coffee in a spray bottle and spray your fans. Lightly! And let them dry out side in the sun.
I may end up doing a combination of a few ideas... that's a good one! 😃👍
Marla your the best and make my down days. 10000x 👍🕊🐑
That makes me so happy! 😃 🙌
Hey Marla! For the paper accordion fans, a good way to antique them might be to mix instant coffee with water in a squirt bottle. Then, squirt the fans and let it dry. I’ve antiques white hymnal pages like that before. Hope this helps. ❤️ LOVE THAT QUILT!!!
That sounds like a great method! I might try different ideas on each of those 6 fans to see what that thin paper will tolerate the best 👌 😃
We are EXACTLY alike! I so want to show my whole room, but can only do sections!! We’ll both get there, eventually. Right? 🤷♀️😂 Again, you’re looking flawless in these videos! Love your content!
Oh I'm working hard 💪 getting my house in order after a year of my daughter's family living with us! Sections will soon become whole rooms and adjoining rooms 🙌
You are sweet to say such kind things 😌 💕
Oh Marla, I am so glad you are back. I surely missed you. I was thinking what you could do with your Quilt. Get one of the wooden towel holders, you may find one at the thrift store. Hang it on the wall and hook the quilt thru it.I have seen them several times at different times. Maybe you could find a picture of one. I also love the highland cows. Maybe you could add red white and blue little flower on her head and use it in your 4th of July decor. Ijust love you Marla Cain. You are such a blessing to me and an insperation. God Bless.
Oooh, making that highland cow a part of my July 4th decor is a great idea! It just needs a white frame and some Itty bitty baby's breath with a tiny blue flower and a red berry 😍
I may hang the quilt onto a ladder leaning near my French doors in the back. I really don't want it abused! 😄 Thanks for the fabulous ideas!
And thank you for your super sweet words! 💕 😊
Put your quilt on a blanket ladder...it's gorgeous
I need to do that! I have a small ladder but it seems like this quilt needs a taller one to show more of it! 😄
The enamelware is EVERYTHING!!! Your joy and delight in rescuing old quilts is so endearing, but you are also a rescuer of discouraged souls. This is the second time your little blessing at the end of your video has been exactly what I needed to remind me that God is working, whether I can see it or not! Thank you again.
Oh, that makes my heart SO GLAD! 🙌
God is well able to line up the details of your life and mine, so that just the thing you need to hear is just the thing crossing your path! ❤️😊
😂 this room is trashed! Out of the mouths of babes
Yeah, they tell it like they see it 😮😅
Hi Sweet Marla, I need some help I need all tha prayers I can get from anyone & everybody, I’ve been going through a lot here lately. I actually think I almost lost my mind! I love your Videos! If we lived close I would go Thrifting with you! Love u!❤
Connie, I will pray right now: Lord, send Connie your peace and strength, and quiet her mind from any chaos that may be coming against her. Fill her with Your Spirit, and let her feel Your love for her. Speak to her heart, and let her see the evidence of Your blessings all around her. In Jesus's name I pray, Amen.
Hey sister, thanks for the plug! You are correct … the knife handle pattern is (or very similar to) corningware blue cornflower.
I thought so! Just found the matching 2 tined fork yesterday at same thrift store!
I love your quilt too!
That quilt is probably one of the top 3 I've ever found!! It's really gorgeous! 😍
I have a frame with two highland cows in my bedroom!
😄 they are so adorable! I believe I may put it in the bathroom my sons use... I'll see if they remark on it! They normally just ignore/tolerate my decor 😆 🤣 😂
What a beautiful channel you have. Sending love from Australia.
Thank you so much, Sharleen! I'm happy to have you watching from Australia! 😃 💕
Great finds!!!!
Thanks! 😃 ✨️
I went to DT, everything red white & blue had glitter! It is horrible. I do not want any glitter. But I went to the Good will bins,wow 3 wreaths an old shoe brush pit berrys,and a shaker box.....9.oo$ first time I went!🧐
I wish I had a Goodwill Bins nearer to me! Closest is Chattanooga 1+ hour away. I don't care for glitter (maybe a tiny bit, occasionally) but there must be a lot of glitter lovers out there!! ✨️ 😄
@marlacainraisingcain1031 I went late in the day, I'm going to go earlier next time. It is only 3 miles from me. I just never went.I'm glad I did.
Awesome!
Boys bathroom!
Ooooh yep, that would be fitting! 😃
Marla! I love your style and this video ❤ it’s my first of yours. So I have my own CZcams channel. When I was looking at the analytics, it shows me channels my subscribers also watch and mentioned yours! So I had to check it out and I’m so glad I did! I’ll be binging your videos for sure❤
Oh, I'm so glad you decided to watch! Now I'll have to check out your videos too! I love reading the analytics 🤓 and trying to improve my channel. I'll be 3 years in by this August, and I'm still loving it! ❤️
@@marlacainraisingcain I think I’m in my 2nd year. The friends I’ve made on CZcams are wonderful ❤️ looking forward to enjoying your videos❤️
we call them mud dobbers in oklahoma! 🤪 yup I use cake icing spreaders for PB and Mayo and anything else in the kitchen....rarely for icing...lol
Mud dobbers sounds more accurate! 🐝
The icing spreaders are used daily over here. I make Ben's breakfast and lunch every day, in the morning before he heads out. It saves time and money so he doesn't have to sit in a drive-thru line. His commute is 1 hrs 15 minutes ONE WAY and if traffic isn't bad, so I like to do that for him. Mayonnaise spreaders make the task faster 😊
@@marlacainraisingcain ugh on the commute! I would be listening to books on tape....oops I mean audio books....Our library has a wonderful partnership with Libby Overdrive...books and audio books over the internet for free......and I use the heck out of it! free is in my price budget! lol. Happy holiday weekend to you and your family, Hope you have a wonderful time!
He has Sirius XM and listens to a lot of conservative talk shows. He also listens to Bible reading and that's how he usually gets his daily Bible time.
We are on the road to NC right now! Looks like a rainy weekend for Nantahala area but it usually doesn't slow us down 😉
Hi Marla, I call the color of the bottle dusty green. I don’t have a clue if that is the color not. What about hanging the cow picture on the porch. Love your sweet video’s.
Dusty green is a good name for it! 😃
I think the cow picture would be cute on the porch but Alabama has extremely high humidity, and it would really ruin any paper like that, unfortunately. We live in a sauna here! 🌧 😓
