Join me on Sundays - Hi I'm Linda, a 12th generation New Englander that loves historic homes, decorating, gardening, old world traditions, and slow living, all while embracing this modern world.
On this channel I enjoy sharing how I create a warm and cozy home, work in my gardens, and elevate my everyday life with slow or fine living moments, no matter how simple or grand that may be.
I would love to be your personal fine living muse and kindred spirit, while hopefully inspiring you to find your own version of fine living.

I think you can change the grind of the coffee by taking the nut off of the handle and taking off the handle. There should be an adjusting ring by the spindle to change the grind. IDK if all antique grinders are the same but give it a try.
I would love to know more about consigning framed art and antique furniture (you mentioned it for your artwork when you showed it leaning against the bedroom wall). I would love a "how to" video - where to go, how to know it's a fair price to ask and a fair commission to pay. Or is it just luck and guesswork?
Just loved this video Linda. Your videos make us homesick for New England. We lived in Maine for 20 years before moving back home to Pennsylvania to be close to family. Your videos help us visit those quaint cafes and country stores. Thanks so much.
Beautiful job with the flowers Linda! Our home, located in central Maine, isn’t named but it does have a history plaque that reads “ Albion & Mary (Hutchinson) Stevens circa 1885 Hotel Keepers and Exchange House”. I wasn’t sure what was meant by “exchange house” so I contacted our local historic society and learned that back in the day people traveling on horse could bring their tired horse here, to our home, and exchange it for a new horse and they could rent rooms. I was very excited to learn this little piece of history. Needless to say my husband bought me a metal doctor for christmas😊. We have 26 acres and I’m hoping to locate their old dump site as you have on your property. ❤
Loved this! I have a Post It note in my car that reads “Say out loud every day 10 things you are grateful for”. It can be as simple as “I am grateful that I woke up and my back didn’t hurt” or “I’m grateful I had food in my house for breakfast”. You get the idea. Doing that sets the stage for my attitude that day. Try it.
Love this and all your videos! I don’t know if it’s just me but I can’t seem to read all of your clips fast enough before they fade. I have to keep back tracking lol Anyone else, or just me lol?
We have always named our homes, vacation condo at the beach and mountain cabin. Names have been: "The River Mill House", which is up the hill from the Chattahoochee River. "Qrazy Qrab Quarters" our St Simons Island Beach Condo, our mountain cabin "The Cabin on Sparkling Lake", our first home in Pasadena CA "Rose Tree Cottage" and now our charming two story brick colonial "Seanta" (combo of Seattle and Atlanta where we are from).
I have been watching your videos for over a year now., and no one should get between me and youtube on Sundays so I can catch your new video. You would think that I would have watched more of your older videos, nope. Now I'm ODing on your videos from 3 4 5 years ago, lolol. I love your sense of humor and if I have calculated correctly , I am 3 years and 1 week older. (Also an Oct. Baby). Thanks for hours of enjoyment and ideas. I'm going to try this pie, butter, and drying orange slices.
I love this video! I'm so very grateful my husband survived a massive heart attack one year ago this month. We celebrated by staying in a historic Inn in Virginia and a splurge meal. The cloud was magnificent!
I too enjoy peaceful days and browsing in small stores especially when I’m on vacation. There are not too many unique stores/shops around me. It seems since covid many small businesses have closed. I must confess I don’t watch clouds unless it’s a sunny day, and the clouds are fluffy and plentiful.
How charming to see places and stores that are so different. Nice to know that every part of the country doesn't lock up everything behind glass cabinets because the people are untrustworthy. Very calming, very relaxing to see the lifestyle in New England country side. Thank you for bringing it to us.
Two years ago, we demolished my childhood home and rebuilt. It is an hour away and not our primary residence. We had rented the old house out for years but renters trashed the interior and it was no longer inhabitable. One of my favorite childhood memories is swinging under a large Rowan tree in the yard. I named our new house Rowan House. We list it as a vacation rental when we aren’t using it and the name, combined with the Rowan leaves and orange berries graphic, are a great marketing tool.
The coffee looked rather coarse, even for a French press, but you may be able to adjust the grind with the screw that attaches the handle. Also, freshly ground coffee starts to deteriorate after just 1 hour, so I always grind coffee just before I brew it. BTW, I love your aesthetic sensibilities.
Lovely! Thanks, Linda. I've been very sad because my oldest and dearest friend-we met when we were 5, in each other's weddings-recently died of COPD. This video was not only comforting, but helped me put things in perspective a bit. How grateful l was, and what a privilege it was to have Ellie in my life. Thank you so much.
I will gladly watch your videos so you can get help with projects or whatever you need down the road! I've actually just been binge watching you for the past few days..lol I know many of us joyfully live vicariously through you because not everyone wants or can do all that you do, but it's sure fun to watch. And you have definitely inspired me to find my way to live a more simplified and refined life. What am I waiting for? Life is too short! Thank you, Linda! As a matter of fact, I just told my daughter I want to go back to visit Mass & NH because I know the area because I lived there as a teenager, and I still get homesick, especially in the fall. Thank you, kindred spirit. You'll have to help Benjamin find his inner child because everyone needs to splash in a puddle, swing on a swing, or lay on the grass once in a while..😉
Great video, Linda! I really enjoyed the trip around where you live. I live in Louisville, Kentucky and have never been to the New England States. If you’re a geek then we all better watch out. Again, thanks for sharing 😊
My husband was an 18 th wheeler for the oil fields. He would sit on top of his truck and tell the lightening to " Show me the magic" every time there was a storm coming It's amazing what you will see
Very enjoyable video, Linda. Loved seeing a pic of your Dad and a reminder to 'always look up'. The video of the sky was so amazing. Look forward to seeing those cute dresses on you.
I’m pretty sure the coffee grinder can be adjusted for a finer grind. My Grandparents had one that was adjustable. Something on top that you can turn one way or the other. ❤
Thank you for sharing the beauty of that storm cloud. It looked like angels were having a party in the sky! I'm sorry I missed you at the Flower Show. Did you see the giant butterflies and the human trees?! I am grateful for your channel and all you share! 🙂
Hi Linda, I love your you tube channel. I do have a question I have the same picture that you have of the little boy and his dog. I also have the little girl picture. Can you give me any info on these pictures?
Loved this calming video and the music you chose ! The cloud lighting show was much better than man made loud fireworks. I am thankful for this video , bc as l am watching it my husband is having tests and X-rays for a surgery later on this week . I’m in a parking spot stressing !!! 😥

This was my favorite video of yours ever. Grateful for the half hour I greatly enjoyed while watching. I love your eye for beauty, whether it’s garden flowers, scenery, weather, vintage and thrifted items…I come away inspired again, Linda. Thank you.
