A Summer thrift haul & creating a thrifted tablescape for our Summer party (some no-stress tips!) 

Another beautiful video. You are such a precious Christian woman. I wish I had had an inspirational woman such as yourself when I was a young mom. I pray that the young woman of today find your videos to inspire them. God bless you 🙏.

❤ I love the part where you said “ I am practicing motherhood and hospitality “

Fan is pretty neat, and table is pretty, great thrift finds 😊

It turned out so sweet 🤍 I loved that you showed us that we can host friends regardless of budget. So beautiful 🤍

Cleaning the vase- equal parts sugar and crushed ice. Pour both in, swirl and swirl and swirl. Gets out burnt coffee pots, old glass stains etc every time.

Oh my goodness that table looks amazing Emily, I love it! God bless you and your sweet family! Also those outfits were so very pretty, you definitely have a great style 👍🙏❤️🤗

Your wise decision to use flowers and greenery from your garden made your table look so homey and happy! The dresses you thrifted look so good on you.

A way to clean the clear vase is with denture cleaning tablets.

Lovely Emily. I love how you are practicing hospitality and not striving for perfection. Bless you and your family.

Hi Emily, Today was wonderful. As someone with a background in nursing, I truly appreciate the great work you did for the residents. I did something similar this past Thanksgiving, hosting 12 people, which was more than usual. Typically, I have no more than 6 guests, but this year, all the kids came with their spouses or significant others. I creatively mix-matched my 6 beautiful pumpkin placemats with my 6 wicker ones, using an off-white floral tablecloth and a fabric runner, similar to yours. I adorned the table with small brass candle holders, tiny vases with flowers, and tea lights. It was stunning. I have a collection of ivory, red, and blue transferware from antique and thrift stores, which I combined with clear plates for a lovely presentation. I even cooked a seven-course meal all by myself! Please keep me in your prayers as chemo is so hard on my guy. I'm working hard and staying positive. Have a wonderful vacation! The baby is absolutely precious and growing so fast. I wear dresses like the first one you tried on for us all the time-they are so cozy. Take care! Oh I’m ordering that fan ❤👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙋🏻‍♀️🧡🧡🧡

Both of those dresses are so lovely on you! I especially love the gingham one. And that tip about hats I didn’t know but makes so much sense why some look weird on me and others look better. The more ya know, right? 😅

Girl I finally got out Saturday evening & explored a bit.. and I'm shook!!😮 There Are 10 thrift stores less than 6mi from the house, 10 it 11 in Dade City, just 10-15min up the road and who knows how many with in an hours ride?!! Its weird tho that the nearest Good Will is about 20 min, and the bins, which I've never been to! That's ok tho. Then theres Tampa.. haven't ckd It either but i do know theres a big antique mall! I haven't ckd for antique stores yet either. Theres A huge habitat restore & big thrift store beside it about 5min, think that'll be my first stop. Looks like I'm going to be looking for clothes too, ummm gained a little weight & need some cooler pieces for this unbearable heat🥵 I'm pretty sure the stores you shop are within an hour also!😊 Awww baby boy is precious & getting so big! I hate to find a piece that i know i can find same price or cheaper brand new! That irks me😑 I'm going to be looking for some flat back baskets for peg rails, never could find but a couple back home. Also hope to find an accordian peg rail rack 🤞🏼 Girl please.. do not apologize for them babies! We've had our 3yr old & almost 5yr old grandkids for almost 3wks plus my sons10mth old & a hyper Frenchie🤪🫣 lol that's chaos!😂 Love the fan! We have one that did in the floor but we use a Dyson mostly, its a table top but it does osculate. Best part of all is theres no blades! Its just A round circle, very weird how it works🤷‍♀️ One of the guys from the recovery home we had back home found it brand new in a house clean out & brought it to us, otherwise we'd be using our cheap floor fan😄 I love hot that one osculates, pretty cool! Love my ball hats! Ana Maria Island is just over an hour from us. My son & his wife spent last weekend at St. Petersburg.. little mini vacay😊 love H&M too! Kids clothes are super cute! That vase is so pretty, so chunky! Just soak for a bit with dish soap, cover with your hand & shake it good, should do it. Really cute dresses.. love the gingham one, like you sad, perfect for Florida & exactly what i'll be looking for! The table scape turned out really pretty! Hope the party went smooth and that you all enjoyed it!😊 Hope You & your family have a safe & blessed July 4th honey!🇺🇸🎆

Love your tablescape!! I admire your hospitality abilities.

Love the outfits! But most of all, loved seeing your sweet kiddos. Blessings and prayers...

Your tablescape is beautiful! I like your clothing items you got from Goodwill.

I use denture cleaning tablets inside my cloudy canning jars/ glass vases. Works most of the time! Great video! was just at Sarasota Bins yesterday!!!

More than anything I love your Joy from the Lord.You are bubbly and your spirit shows through your videos.What an good inspiration you are for young mother's and mothers who are 60

Yes...I thrift for any and all occasions...LOL! Looks like a nice fan, our Florida weather will be hot for many months to come. What a lovely idea to host your friends and co-workers reaching a milestone!

Hi Emily How sweet that you did party for your husband’s friends. You did a beautiful job. I love the flowers going down the runner. I have learned I usually have everything I need for any occasion. I have thrifted so long. I wish we knew what you fixed food wise. I love your thrifted items. I just thrifted a cotton dress like that and can not wait to wear it. The other gingham dress is so cute with a baseball cap. I have a big head and I can wear Adidas but most I have to buy in the men’s section.😂 OMG Emily that baby…he is so beautiful. I love baby’s little chubby legs. Hopefully, soon he will go to sleep easier, but what a blessing he can sleep through noises. That fan is so nice. We could not find two estate sales that were in Ohio yesterday. We even asked people and they had no idea so we went to a private family estate sale. Usually, they are higher than companies. This one was reasonable, but nothing much we needed.I never go away empty handed, however. We found those long light bulbs for our closet that are now about twenty dollars or more for two so finding two for two fifty was nice. I also found a few miscellaneous items, but my favorite was a little concrete planter to put some lavender seeds in. I keep trying , but I can not grow lavender. If I plant a lavender plant it dies. I am going to succeed one day. You look beautiful Emily. I hope you had fun on your trip. Take care. I think you are amazing. I bet your company for the party was so appreciative. ❤❤❤❤

Beautiful! Good job and good for you for knowing what your capacity is! ❤

Lately we were Hosting over 35 people, so I took cuts of bougainvillea for a centerpiece. Your table is beautiful and creative.

❤ first time watching your channel, so inspiring, now I want to host a party, and only use items I already have. Thanks

On the small mouth glass vase..try filling it with water and dropping in a denture cleaner (such as Effordent, etc) with whitener. You may have to break the tablet to get it inside but they usually work pretty well.

I love how Iypu r In training for motherhood, in training for hospitality. I was interested in what you served. I'm having neighborhood ladies in for a coffee and chat to welcome to new ladies to our neighborhood. Trying to figure out what to seve. I love your sweet spirit!

You can try a mixture of Dawn and vi gear and water and shake to mix..let it sit awhile and rinse. Even just vinegar and water will work pretty well

Let me know if you thrift things for your tablescape!

You are very brave taking a new born and a toddler alline to thrift. I love seeing the children and you. Tell me, hiw do you not get stressed when hosting. I'm always stressed.

I’m sad to see all the pillar candle holders appearing at the thrift stores. I have quite the collection stashed under my bed.😕

Looks great as you are certainly a very busy mother! Take care and enjoy every moment as your precious boys are growing so fast! Nancy from Indiana.

It’s really really nice & elegant it took me awhile to learn simple is always much more beautiful and classy I love it I’m so copying that dark green fabric for a runner it’s also in my opinion a neutral color that could easily pair with so many different colors ❤

Unique.....and looks creative and very nice!!

A small handful of gravel,aquarium or other and a bit of soap and water will clean the vase

The table looks beautiful. I’m sure your guests will appreciate it. Have a wonderful week.

Where did you seat the other 5 guests as you referred to 20 but only had 15 seated?

The table looks beautiful Emily… 🌺

You are really an incredible wife and mother.
