Home tour of consignment finds, home remodel update, my new home and garden retail boutique 

Linda, I find it so unfortunate that you even have to post about haters and negative comments. Your channel is always so upbeat and positive. It’s always been my dream to renovate an older colonial home and I love watching to see what you’ve done. You have great taste and style and I learn something every time I watch. It takes a lot of courage to put yourself out there and share your home and projects. I know I’m not alone in my thoughts when I say I appreciate your talents and would like to extend my gratitude for taking the time to post. Your videos are always professional and interesting with just the right amount of your personality speckled in. Thank you again for what you do. John

Dear Linda, know that whatever you do as far as home demo and improvement is adored by us, we are thrilled for all your endeavors new and old!

Thank you so much for you zero tolerance stance. Your site is an escape for me anyway. I worked all morning in my garden. I came in hot dirty and after my shower I was really hoping to recover while watching you with a pretty glass of water in my hand. I can’t tell you how much you inspire me! You certainly are not afraid of hard work and that is for sure. Also… Your mother certainly did create a beautiful space with her housing development. I wish that I lived there:) but hey! Some body has to live in North Dakota 😝

Gee Wiz: It's great that you confronted this issue. Not many women feel that confident. Love your channel!

I love your channel! I love your home. Love Willow! Can’t wait to watch this year and see what you do in this home. Be kind people!☮️

Linda!!!!! Long time follower (not a big comment person) here from a small village in Essex, Conn. and I applaud you for being one of the best content providers on youtube. I hope you know how awe inspiring and enjoyable your videos are to your true followers. Keep up the great content ❤️ Ear scratchies to Willow 🐕 and hi to Ben!!!!

Ooh I love the deacons bench… so elegant! I really like the couch & side chairs, especially with sweet Willow lounging in one of them. Best of luck with your shop venture. You manage to juggle several balls at one time with aplomb!

I have a Brown Betty that belonged to my grandparents. My granddad was from Manchester. He came here when he was in his 40's, carried the teapot with him and married my Nan. She loved that teapot!!! I love it as well. Thanks so much for such an upbeat podcast. Unfortunately, there are always haters who are willing to spoil the fun. I wish you much joy and success in your new and exciting adventure!! ❤

Dear Linda, I agree with you 1000%, regarding your"Zero Tolerance" action plan. Also, good luck with all your projects. I commend you for managing to do what makes YOU happy. Rock on... my "Kindred Spirit!" "Don't forget to be kind to you shoulder. Regards, Karen

I’m so happy to hear that you will use “Tally-Ho” wallpaper again. That was my fav room in your old house. Can’t wait to see how it will look in the new house.

Linda, please don't let these "trolls" upset you. We all love your channel and can't wait for the next adventure of your new Store....Thank you so for being there for, me, and all the great ideas you have given me since I started watching you....

I love to see all messes. It makes your life real because we all have messes. You have such a major remodel going on. I don’t know how you do it. And …you have a business !!! You are amazing. ❤

I love that your channel does change with the seasons and with your new home. Change is good and we can tell that you are thoughtful about what your viewers might benefit from. Be you and continue to share what you think we would benefit from.

Hi,, Linda. Once again,you made me so homesick for New Hampshire. I still love all of your videos, and more and more I realize that we have so many of the same interests. I laughed when I saw the lampshade and cushion a little bit tilted. I wanted you to fix them and I actually had a happy feeling when you did. I wish that I could visit your new shop. I am sure that it would be a wonderful experience. You are my kindred spirit. Angel hugs, from Florida.❤😊

Dear Linda I have watched you from the beginning. Never comment, so I felt like it was time to tell you how much I look forward to your video. I get so excited when one comes up.You used the term Magical Escape.That is exactly how I feel when i watch your videos.Thank you for making my day so much brighter.

I’m so excited for you on your new venture. I enjoy getting inspirational ideas, whether it be journaling, gardening, home interior and consignment shopping.

🌿 I’ve already checked out your shop. It is a breath of fresh air. You carry items that are my favorites- room fragrance, Margot Elena products, vintage finds. I live nearby so I’ll be dropping in frequently! Best Wishes for much fun and success! 🌸

Dearest Linda, Nine years ago, we relocated from Vermont to upstate South Carolina. For the most part it has been a positive move. We are retirees and Vermont winters just got too long. That said, finding your channel has been such a joy for me. While sometimes, it's bittersweet, I do escape into the New England vibe, the treasures of New England that you collect and the way you decorate. I completely lose myself in your world, love your sense of humor, and memory challenges:), and emerge feeling full and refreshed after watching. Thank you for doing this, and the negative watchers be damned! My best to you and keep on being you.

Just love your elegance, gently personality. I have learned so much about personal choice designs, inspirational decorating, lifetstyle etc. Thank you for all of that and how fitting that you addressed the negative population. Not sure why they would watch then. Total relaxation from your vlog. Watch every day and repeat some of your shows

I see a theme! Buy consignment goodies for your house. If it you no longer use it or it’s not working out, resell it in your own consignment shop! It’s a heck of lot better than a garage sale! I believe your shop is going to be beautiful just like your home. It’s so nice seeing “real” furniture being “reused” instead of being replaced by IKEA choices. In our area, we no longer have nice furniture places to shop from or we have to “settle” for shopping online or shopping in Houston where everything is so overpriced and downright scary!

Love watching your channel. It’s so restful to sit and watch a while while I plan my own day. Your home is beautiful and so welcoming.Thank you for sharing a bit of your life with us.

Can’t tell you how glad I am to have found your channel! I have loved the style you have ever since I was young ( I’m 80 now) but was never able to do. It’s fun for me to watch and still dream about. Thank you…

I am sorry there are unmannered people in the world. You are doing a wonderful fun job. I love seeing what you come up with in your decorating, cooking etc. You have given me so many great ideas. Thank you. Can't wait to see your next adventure and what you are doing. Thank you for taking us along. Happy 4th of July.

Love it…. Zero tolerance! Kick you off the rainbow! You go girl! 👍👍👍👍

Good for you on the Zero Tolerance. The world is current in a terrible state of events and we need positivity all around. Thank you Linda for what you do and what you're projecting to society! Thanks!

What timing...I just sat down to relax for a half hour from gardening! 😀🌿🇨🇦❤️

I love your channel. I really needed this today. My father-in-law is dying. He is just being kept comfortable now. I love your home and can tell that you really think about what you bring in for it. I can't wait to see it when you feel comfortable showing it. I don't know how you do so much inside and outside! Just wanted you to know that i appreciate your channel and how calming it is.

Linda, I’m so excited for you and your new shop coming soon! Thank you for opening up your home and sharing your life with us.

Linda........you are an inspiring and lovely human being! I for one am glad you have zero tolerance! Good for you! I so look forward to your videos and posts! You are a wonderful escape from this crazy world we all find ourselves in . Thank you for being you !❤️And keep the tea cups you like so much! 😎

Linda I felt I was watching an episode of Masterpiece Theatre with your opening intro. The setting is so stunning and your selection of music perfect. It’s obvious lots of preparation goes into your videos. I enjoy your relaxed coffee chat style of banter as well. Thank you for sharing your home, time, talent and aspirations. Congrats on the new venue.

It’s beyond me why anyone would leave a negative comment on this channel. Between yours and Garden Answer, I escape to a kind and gentle world. I love your content and please keep it going ❤️

Best of luck with your new shop Linda. Hope you’ll give us a tour when it’s completed ☺️. I enjoy every single video you put up. Glad you addressed the “zero tolerance”. This is your channel and if something is bothering you, you should absolutely talk about it. I 100% agree with you about it too 👏🏻. Have a Happy 4th!!🇺🇸🎇😊

I love your vlog! I’ve been enjoying your special talents for over a year now and hope you continue forever. I too am an avid “consignment shopper” and have always believed the thrill is in the hunt. Good for you to block negative people! There’s way too much negativity in the world today and I applaud that you can control it on your end. All the best!🥰

I'm glad you addressed the hateful comments. I just don't feel there's any place for that negativity when somebody goes to the trouble of creating beautiful videos. And your videos are such an escape for me, I look forward to them so much! I lived in New England for 4 years and I absolutely loved it there. I was in grad school and then taught for a few years but I loved going to antique shops and shows and especially in the countryside and also to consignment shops. I moved back to California 18 years ago but I have such fond memories of living in Massachusetts and Rhode Island.

Hi Linda, I'm so sorry you get negative comments on your channel. I absolutely love your channel and enjoy watching you restore this beautiful home, your finds in the garden and the history of your home and area. Love your trips around New England and the consignment buys. You are so lucky to have such an old established town steeped in history. Thank you for sharing. Jeanette, New Zealand.

I totally agree with deleting and blocking..I know I hate reading mean comments mainly because I don't understand why it's done when all this information is for free..The creator's are working hard to give all of us free content..So I thank you for all your informative and interesting videos and want to wish you the best of luck with your shop..I like how you "roll"..

You are a totally elegant woman, and I appreciate how you share with us! This is an escape, yesterday we had to return a rescue dog to the breeder because we could not help her (the breeder then shared she thought the dog had numerological problems). Our hearts are breaking, and it was so needed to see what’s happening in New England Fine Living. Thank you so much! I think, the brighter the channel , the more trolls that it attracts.

I agree with your policy Linda. We’re here for your creative design ideas, recipes and garden…not for anyone’snegativity. Good for you for making this a friendly place to visit.

I LOVE you &your channel. I live in Pa but always felt I belonged in New England. Have always decorated country New England. Have shopped consignment shops & found so many treasures for my home. Just found you & will continue to watch you

Linda you are such a talent that everything that you share with us is so dear and wonderful all the changes are so much fun and informative! I love the idea you have about a shop I love the decor you share and my favorite is all the old fashion nautical . Can’t wait to your new shares keep up the great adventure 💗🧚🏻

I don’t think you channel has changed except for a new home. I can’t wait for the remodel of your new place because that is what happened in the last home. I love your new house and it all seems so peaceful there and probably more quiet than your last place.

Yes! Block the naysayers! I began watching your channel because I was going nuts during Covid seclusion. It has brought such comfort and inspiration. That part of New England is my old stamping grounds, so catching a glimpse every week has been a salvation to me. Also, seeing Willow snuggled up in her chair makes me smile. Keep up the good work. We love it.

Change is good. Without change there is no growth and how boring would that be?! I truly enjoy your videos. I am a New Englander who moved to Georgia 30 years ago and your channel brings me home. Thank you!

WHAT negative comments could anyone possibly make? I love everything about your home and all your things! It would be my dream home.You are absolutely lovely.....I just don't know.Thank you for this beautiful channel,I look forward to every video ❤️

I found your video somehow and enjoy your delivery and reminders of home. I am from Hollis, NH and moved away when I was a kid and have missed New England ever since and always hoped to move back. One day I will get there, I am 48 now. One day.... Please keep sharing, I am binge watching your videos.

You are like visiting a favorite friend and never wanting it to end.

Hi Linda! I just wanted to thank you for your content. I am currently going through some serious health issues and watching your videos relaxes me and reminds me to live in the moment. You’ll never know the impact it has had on people who enjoy classy content providers. Never mind the haters, the world is full of people who enjoy trying to sully what you do. 🥰

Hahah I love you straightening everything as you go!! I do that as I go through out my home to tidy up

SO excited to see this post came up! I was making a tuna sandwich, HAD to stop and hit the button! Linda why would anyone bother to watch if they have NO appreciation for YOU as the person you are? I enjoy YOU, this channel, the things you do and share-how does the saying go “ if you don’t have something nice to say don’t say ANYTHING at all”!! I don’t drive long distances anymore and my daughter doesn’t live close by. Her husband is an Air Force Pilot stationed far from my home. ( Proud of this great guy we all are!) We used to travel to do things which we both enjoyed. So, I may never see your shop but I DO love what you are collecting for it- SUCH FUN! I’m a lifelong Anglophile, maiden name was Browning) so I love things from Britain 🇬🇧. Thank you for sharing with all of us who love your channel and appreciate YOU!

I love your videos, you are so knowledgeable and teach me something new in every video. I don't understand the mentality of of people that feel the need to be so negative. Please know that you are greatly appreciated by the vast majority. Keep posting and mute the negative viewers.

I just found your channel and it is all the things I love! I am a Southerner but I love New England and have some roots in the Salem, Mass area. I wish I could visit your boutique....it is probably good I live in Alabama.:) Thank you for your lovely channel and for sharing your ideas and decor. And Yes, I am always making sure my lamp shades are even...my pictures are not hanging crooked etc. So I get it.

I enjoy and appreciate your videos (old house and new), thank you so much for the entertainment. Sending you all good vibes and looking forward to sharing in your endeavors!

Linda I look forward to your channel so much. I love your style & the fact that you appreciate finding items everywhere that are affordable. We are kindred spirits. My husband & I are working on making a house we bought a year ago ours. I enjoy everything about the process. I am so excited for you & your new store. I wish I lived closer but we are in Ohio. Also good for you that you will not be tolerating unkind comments on your channel. ----Anita from Ohio

Linda, I feel that if my house is in order, my life is in order. So sad that some people cannot see the forest for the trees, they are missing so much in life. Wouldn't it be boring if everyone had the same ideas about their homes, etc? Maybe if they used a beautiful coffee cup for having their coffee sitting outdoor enjoying the morning or cutting lilacs from their garden just for your own enjoyment🤩. Use the best china you have, who is more important than family.? I love that you enjoy thrifting. I for one love what you do. I also learn a lot. Just wish I still had your energy. i try never to miss a video.. Can't wait for the new ideas and ideas.

Oh Linda, I am so happy you are going to have a place to showcase you amazing finds. You have such an eye for beautiful things and I love watching your channel. It takes me to a place that is elegant and peaceful as well as fun. I was hoping you may want to sell some of the items you find and of course ship them to North Carolina...lol...but if not, I will still love seeing all the beautiful pieces you find in your travels. Thank you for creating your lovely channel.

Best of luck with your new store. I really enjoy your videos. Your home is charming.

Your vlog is lovely, I’m sorry you had to take the time to not only delete the negative but address it. Your home is lovely. It’s always a calm oasis to watch your vlogs. Your new bench is so pretty. I’m excited for your new venture with the shop. I am a floral designer and I have a small studio in a shop that has different artisans with so much creativity… it’s wonderful. It’s in a little sea side village on LI .I don’t have to be there all the time which is wonderful and allows me to do other things. I also tuck in some vintage floral related finds in my little studio. I’m semi retired ( what ever that is ) so this is a perfect situation. I so look forward to seeing your new space. You are so creative. I love how you will change themes in your new shop. I’m renovating my 1940’s beach house and you are such an inspiration. Kindred spirits indeed. I have brown transferware, but think I’m going to stick with my white plates, collect white soup tureens… I’m stopping at 3 and am working on a moon garden. Thank you , thank you for your lovely vlogs.

I love watching your videos and am so enjoying your new old house and how it is becoming. Wish I lived close enough to shop your new venture. I find all of this to be so motivating, please continue to keep sharing and thank you.

Thank you so very much. Due to my husband's frailty, I have to stay put, but want you to know how much I look forward to my "friendship" with you. I enjoy hanging out and spiritually being there with you. It's an escape from reality.

Love the zero tolerance policy. I think if every RU-vidr did that the very first instance, there would be less bad behavior. There is just no excuse. Good for you! ❤️😊

Linda, you are the most uplifting person I know, I absolutely love your channel ❤️Happy 4th

Oh dearest Linda. ALL of your videos are inspiring and everything you strive for them to be. I love watching you transform your house into a home knowing these things take time. Honestly, I don’t see your channel that much different from before. You keep doing you!

I love your video's and the green you use throughout, the candle color, very soothing!

I love your early American bench, love it! And the early American painting above it, so pretty! The dining room looks so pretty, you're my kind of person, just beautiful. You also give me great ideas to decorate my own home, so thank you for that. And please, these rude people are just jealous they don't have a lovely home as yours. They need to be nasty, it makes them feel good. As you said, delete them from your channel. Well, I'm a Fan of your channel and I always look forward to what you are doing with you new/old house. Until next time, enjoy decorating!

Loving all your content in your videos from your new house and old house.

Dear Linda, I'm so sorry people make negative comments. I love your channel. You bring elegance and charm into my life every time I watch you. Antiques, crystal and toile--who could ask for anything more? I'd love to see your new shop. I might plan a trip to NH when it opens. Thank you!

Hi Linda, I love staying in touch with all of your updates! Love knowing you will be opening a shop!! Awesomeness!

Really love what you do Linda ❤. Here in middle England , nice to see the familiar English goods that you import 😊

Linda you always share the most wonderful content, it’s inspiring and calming. Love seeing all your new things and projects with the house. 🥰

I love your channel Linda! It’s so relaxing to watch. It’s too bad people have to be so disrespectful! Your doing a wonderful job. I live in upstate New York but if I ever get out your way I will be looking for your consignment shop!

Kindness matters. It matters a lot. I am beguiled by anything New England as my family on both sides lived in New England and I visited there as a child. So, I am like a sponge whenever I see you have posted and you do not disappoint. Thank you for sharing your home with me and giving us a place to visit. Bonnie

You have inspired me! I had an antique booth with another lady. I wanted to call it “Two Ladies”. It really became expensive. I brought all my merchandise home and began with a yard sale. My She Shed is full of inventory and I just carry items out to the yard. I put my sign up when I want to at this point. It gives me time for my home remodel and decorating, time for my grandchildren and time to cook real meals! By the way my husband and I are retired and we have plenty to do in our retirement! 😊😊

Linda, I very much appreciate your enthusiasm, talent and sense of excitement about what you do. I am also grateful that you stood up for yourself about negative comments. I have become less tolerant of negative people as I get older. When i taught they were kids and had to learn. Adult are either just mean or very unhappy. My dearest friend always says this about people like the one you are talking about, " I am so glad I do not have to live their lives." If you come to VT we would love to welcome you and share our spot of heaven.

Good morning Linda, BULLY is a hazard in our world I'm so glad that you brought that up. Been watching your YT channel for almost 2years love it, can't wait to see what's next to come. Congratulations 👏on your new adventure. Have a wonderful rest of the day and happy 4th of July 💥

Linda ...I really like the thing's you share never dull and repetitive . I just so enjoy it all ...please continue as you have been doing ...I've been following for a good while and have gone back to the beginning year's ago to catch up . You are a very inspirational and fun lady and it feel's like visiting a friend. 💖

Dear Linda, the house is looking so fabulous. I can't wait to see your newest endeavors come to fruition. ABSOLUTELY lovely... Have a marvelous 4th of July. ❤🤍💙

GREAT VIDEO....I LOVE EVERYTHING YOU DO......I'M SURE YOUR NEW STORE WILL BE LOVELY....I LOVE THE THINGS YOU ALREADY HAVE FOR IT.....HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEKEND AND HOLIDAY....STAY SAFE AND AS ALWAYS STAY HAPPY....GOD BLESS....IMOGNE

We lived in Attleboro, MA for a short while beck in the 80's. I loved it. We toured and shopped all of New England. I love your channel. We are now in Texas and it offers none of the options we had up there. Anyway, so I am living through your experiences. I have been quite ill for about 18 months and am now well enough to begin decorating my new home. Thank you for your inspiration and for your obvious kindness to all. I sent a link to my brother and his wife in Canada, so that they can enjoy your channel. God bless, Jennie

I love your videos and home decor ideas. Love when you take us along to the consignment stores and later see all the neat things you have bought. There will always be people who will say things in the comment area that they would never say to your face. Chicken sh*t is what we refer to them in the south. Sadly it has become more common with social media these days.

I always am so happy to see you and visit your chanel. THANK YOU for all the inspiration and joy you bring. Happy 4th. To you.

I just cannot believe anyone could be rude about this channel. When I watch I get inspired! Thank you!

Hello, Her Ladyship 🙂The bench is stunning. The foyer is lovely peeking out from behind-- so cheerful. And the bird mugs you plan to sell also so so elegant, *really* eye-catching! (If you had shipping, I'd order!) Btw my fave mug is a (Emma) Bridgewater swallow mug found in Brattleboro VT-- also British, you might like her style, her birds are lovely. And the earrings-- so neat that your daughter uses birchbark. Please share more of her work in the future, and good luck to her in this enterprise. The fact that you think of a "theme" for your house-- it's like you want the house to tell a story, and makes me think, what story do we want our house to tell? Hmmm... it's a very helpful way to think about a house and make it more fun.

Love your standard your zero tolerance. This new house is becoming your home. Everything you touch shows the love that you have for fine clean living. Do we get to see your kitchen in progress??

I would hope that everyone watching your channel are adults, even if you are sharing something you are or have done and it isn't something with in one of the viewers taste so be it. I love watching you for ideas, learning about history and entertainment. Sorry you even felt you needed to say anything, but now you can wash your hands of all those poor unhappy people and bring on more new things for the rest of us. Congrats on your new business.

Linda, I enjoy your channel as is. Demoing, decorating, garden tours etc. I find it all relaxing to view plus it has given me inspection for my own home 🏡🌹

I have enjoyed every video you have shared so am glad you will be continuing to share your interesting love of all things New England and beyond. It will be fun seeing you develop your new space in Peterborough and I wish you much success. I am glad you made your zero tolerance policy clear ... I really have never understood why people feel the need to be snarky or mean spirited to someone like you who is just sharing what you love. If they love what you have to say, they should continue watching and subscribe to the channel. If they don't, they need to move on to something else.

Sweet Sweet Linda, I am not much for commenting, but it is a shame that anyone would need to criticize you! Your home is beautiful! Your taste is exquisite! You are so sweet to share so much. I love your content and following your journey in decisions regarding your home and watching it grow. I am very proud of you for standing up. And you are exactly right! If you can't say something positive, don't say anything at all! Loving your items for the store! I wish I weren't so far away!!

Good for you Linda, people on every platform thinks that they can say anything because they are on a computer. Sad 😞, but we can stand strong and delete or block them. Wish I could make another trip to New England to see your new shop! How exciting. Love your daughter’s earrings. 👍🏻💕🌻🌼💐🌸🦋

Hi. Happy 4th. Amazon has many burning styles. Love the hunt wallcovering it's going to be beautiful and the bench awesome . THANK YOU for sharing.

I absolutely ADORE your channel. I love the look of your home inside and out and you have such a pleasing way about you. And I quite enjoy your soft way of speaking without inserting those annoying little 'ums' and 'uhs' that many people do. What's not to like?! 🌈

I love your channel, Linda! It is a joy to watch and I look forward to each new video. Thank you for sharing your enthusiasm and inspiration for “fine living”! Happy Fourth❤️🤍💙!

You could even take the lids off the different salt and pepper shakers, place tiny flowers in them and display them as a grouping.

Hi Linda! Have been following you intermittently for a few years now, but I believe this is my first comment. I truly enjoy your decor style and your sharing. Thank you so much for the many inspirations. Keep up the wonderful work and please don't give your power to any negative comments. May God Bless!

Linda I was so saddened to hear that people are so mean. Just know its not you their unhappy in their own lives and jealous of your kindness and happiness you give. You’re right the best thing to do is ignore them. They have nothing nice to spread other the negativity and hate.Keep shining.I once herd the perfect saying and it goes The sweetest revenge is living well.Enjoy life we are here for a short time don’t waste it on them. I love your channel and look forward to all.Smile and enjoy your life ✨

Love love your decor, your wonderful attitude and your exquisite taste. Love that you give meaning to your decor by talking about the history of the house and items you buy. I do get a lot of wonderful ideas from you. My house is also a Colonial home full of antiques. Would love to see the jewelry that your daughter makes. Does she have an Etsy shop? Take care and don’t ever let anyone take your joy for life away. Ignore negative people. I had lung Cancer surgery 6 weeks ago and I have been re-watching your videos. They bring me joy because they are peaceful watching you enjoy the garden and the little gifts that God has given you. God bless and I wish you much success with your new store (hope you have an on-line presence so I can do some shopping) take care😘. Lisa Sagardia

Love the intro music. I was waiting for Martha Washington to walk in at any minute.

Bravo, Linda! There is no room on your lovely, inspiring channel for those who wish to be snarky or rude. You bring so much joy to countless others. Thank you for sharing your journey at Sugarwood, whatever that may entail.

Linda I just love your channel. I find it very up lifting. Everything you post is so interesting. The music you add is so relaxing. I feel that you are my dear friend.

I Your channel is always enjoyable to watch and I don't understand how anyone could ever be rude. You have a beautiful home which is a privilege to be allowed in, thank you. 🌹❤️🇬🇧

Your videos and content have always been inspiring, as well as calming.🌻
