Oh my goodness that silver dollar that you found from America from 1776 to 1976 is a bicentennial coin and a lot of people would just love to have that. Before my husband passed away we used to collect coins like that but when he passed away I gave all of them to my grandson. It's very meaningful

@deniewestover Месяц назад

I came here to tell them this too! It’s a keeper. 😊

@yolandagofigure Месяц назад

Yes

@thickernell Месяц назад

Ditto. That was a special issue coin celebrating that little riff our peoples had in 1776. Not sure what it’s worth, but definitely more than face value.

@baylorsailor Месяц назад

I have a couple of those displayed in a printer's drawer at home! I love checking the antique stores for coins. It's amazing what I find for hardly anything. 🪙❤️

@lorassorkin Месяц назад

I have a stack of one dollar coins, (which are still legal tender) that my grandfather gave me - one every year on my birthday. They don't really circulate anymore. I believe it was in the 90's when the US Mint issued another one dollar coin (was Amelia Earhart on it?) that flopped because it was stupidly the same size and weight as our quarter.

Over 10 years ago I was at an estate sale and came across a desktop dial phone in dark olive green. It was just like the one my dad had in his home office. I bought it and decorate my telephone table with it - just for the fun of it. At Dad’s funeral Mass, we laid out items that symbolized him. The dial phone was one of the items. ❤ In other words, I understand the nostalgia.

I took Mum's original cordless phone to her funeral, she had spent so much time talking to those she loved on it, and her wee great grandaughter picked it up and had a 'chat', maybe to her, who knows. 😊

Finding cards is wonderful isn’t it :). I’ve had to clear my mum and dads house this spring and mum kept almost all our old cards - and lots of other things too :). Dads paints and rough sketches and wood galore. And Even a mousetrap game ! It’s been very sad sorting through 66 years of their memories together but , it’s brought back very happy memories too. Happy summer all and a fabulous bee ! 🐝

@michelle2b Месяц назад

Stephanie and Philip you should be writing a book about the restoration of the chapel - if as you say the frescos are of such a calibre as to be in the same ilk at Notre Dame then it would be very well received. You also have an amazing story to tell about the raising of the funds to save this chapel through the Adopt A Star programme, to showcase the artisans that have worked on the chapel - all in all it would be a wonderful record of something historically significant.

Stephanie, the U.S. silver dollar might be one that was still fully made from silver. If so, it would be worth more than one dollar. Even if not, as another commenter mentioned, it is a collector’s piece. ❤️🇺🇸❤️ p.s. The chapel is such an exquisite jewel. Since you first expressed your hope to restore it, I’ve prayed to St. Joseph for his help whenever you’ve mentioned it, as I’m sure, many have. Thank you for your blessings St. Joseph! May The Lord bless all who enter this beautiful, sacred work of art.

You should do a coloring book! Of course include the chapel and garden! Also you could do a wall calendar or day planner. One year you could include Michael's photography and the next year Andie's art.

@marymcandrew7667 Месяц назад

Stephanie and Phillip, I keep thinking about just how special and historic the restoration of the chapel is. I'm an artist and love designs and patterns from Medieval and early periods and I just love looking at the patterns and colors of the new painted areas. There is really a lot of quality craftsmanship being used and preserved in the chapel project, what I keep thinking is you should do a special, long video about the whole process. The history of the chapel, the details of the type of paints used, stone, render, vaulting etc.and the craft of how it was done (and redone). Like a documentary or the other type of videos you do that are so well done about the history of something. If you go back through the videos you've already done, and piece together from that, you have most of the footage already! You could compare it to the restoration at Notre Dame too. Please fill the video with close ups of each of the patterns on the columns and walls for people like me who like to study that. I just think a special dedicated long video would be great!

@TheCrowsNest1950 Месяц назад

Something good will happen today. I need my favorite people from a Chateau far way! The critters ate my newly planted 4 week old corn. I feel defeated. While watering what they hadn’t eaten a little chipmunk came within 3 feet of me. He must have seen my very unhappy face and quickly turned and bounded off the way he came. I tell myself they need it more than I do. It’s so dry and 100+ outside. My water fountains get filled twice a day and bowls of water out for any and all creatures that are thirsty. It is wildfire season here too. So any prayers for our firefighters and all those effected will be greatly appreciated. That being said I can now escape to a world far away in LaLande.

@Sissy907 Месяц назад

Ive never commented until now, but I thought I would tell you, years ago, I did have fabric in my bathroom. I dunked it into a bucket of liquid starch (undiluted) and then just smoothed it onto the walls. It doesnt fall off and leaves very little mess when you simply pull it off the wall. And it never got moldy or yucky even with a family of four using the bathroom. Just a thought for an easy reno on the cheap using fabric that is very easy to reverse when you want to do something else. If you ever decide to use the idea, I would be happy to answer any questions and the full run down on how to do it very simply.

@Sissy907 25 дней назад

@@michaelwoodbodley8099 Well I was a military wife and figured if the guys can use it on their uniforms I should be able to use it on the fabric. It worked and stayed up for a few years until it was time to move and I just flicked a corner up with my nail and pulled it down. Then just wiped off the walls with some clean water. Never left a mark and no one knew the difference. The nice thing was I could reuse the fabric for cushions or whatever project I wanted to after. So it wasn't just thrown away. It didn't discolor the fabric in anyway nor did it stain the walls. It really was very simple and looked really nice!

Print up some labels and put them in the ends of those clear storage containers so you can find those fabulous things when you need them again. I started doing that with my Christmas decorations, and it makes things so much easier. That US dollar coin you have is an American Bicentennial coin! I was in college in 1976, and well remember all the hoopla over our nation's 200th birthday. My father used to collect silver coins, from back when our coins were actually made with real silver, and I was dismayed when I checked the value of them a few years ago to find that they're not really worth all that much more than face value. But I keep them because they were important to my father. Seeing the chapel's transformation still makes me teary-eyed!

At the start of the video we see the shelves in the arrière-cuisine. There are now three shelves on top of each other. My first thought was that there is room for at least one more shelf, maybe also two. But with that type of shelf system the weight rests only on the screws that are screwed into the wall. Then only light things could be on those shelves. If more porcelain were to be stored there a more solid shelf system is needed. I have seen in earlier videos that the kitchen table looks like it once has been varnished, but that varnish is now flaking off. I think a bit higher table is needed maybe, possibly with storage space underneath. I wish Stephanie would film Marie telling us how she ideally would organize the kitchen!
