Today we are heading to a Thrift shop again and a painted furniture shop. It's a cozy Fall day here in New England, so why not stop by and have some tea or mulled cider and browse antiques with me.
When we are done shopping we can head out for some Autumn colour on my beach as we walk the seashore to the dock at low tide.
And, hurrah! My quail are finally laying eggs, yum. We might have a craft project in the future for these little darlings.
Come join me for a day of the life of an Artist living in a house on the sea in New England.

I love your videos and never tire of the seaside walks. I have been vacationing in New England for over 30 years and unfortunately could not go this past summer. I feel such comfort and happiness sharing your walks. The art and antique shopping rounds everything off perfectly. Thanks so much!

@DonnaDavisArt 3 года назад

That is sad @Kerri Clark that you had to miss your New England trip, let's hope the world gets better soon. I really hope and almost feel like it's my duty to share my place now with vlogs especially if there are to be more lock downs? I'm going to keep going out to the shops as long as we are allowed (we're opening up a bit) tho our state was one of the more strict during lockdown, when many were just doing it partially we were really shut down. I hadn't been to a shop (other than grocery or outdoor plant shop) since March. It was good to go out again! I'll keep the videos coming so others can have arm chair holidays on the Cape :)

@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow 3 года назад

I'd love to have quails just to listen to their sweet little voices. Your thrift shops are pretty darn good!

@DonnaDavisArt 3 года назад

I highly recommend them @Jeri Landers of Hopalong Hollow they are coturnix quail and VERY easy to hatch from mail order eggs. They are so tame and gentle and they lay like the dickens! And their sounds are wonderful , much like a wild bird and aren't he little roo's trills enchanting! Thanks for stopping by.

@teresacarle294 3 года назад

😊 Yes, they're very charming. 🥚She should definitely do something crafty with those eggs. Even city folks love nesting decor. Find natural items in decorating usually possess a vintage Victorian vibe. Impressed with the quality of thrift store goods in this region too👍. In the outlets I frequent, dishes are usually more modern. 👒Ladies wool hats are a rarity in Los Angeles. Plus, with our typical amount of usual heat🌡, there are even far fewer days to wear them. Loved the times when hats were worn daily. 🐇Easter & Kentucky🏇Derby seem to be the rare times you can go all out nowadays in US. 🐨Bought some darling cloches when visited down under too. Probably lucky for my wallet that chapelleries are not easy to find around here. I have a big head, so it can also be tricky to fit. 🤗

Goodmorning Donna, now I can watch things with my tablet, I'm going over your videos 5hat I hadn't seen due to never knowing about how to and not knowing. So I have lots to watch of your pst ones,I'm really truly loving everyone of them. Always need to have my cup of tea ,Donna the shopping trip just lovely I can see so many lovely items. I cant wait to find the book on the little qail that you found.as I'm in uk 🇬🇧 South west I may the a while. Also mabe next spring i would like to hatch some qail, I have a sweet little bantam(peekaboo) whom goes broody so often she makes a darling little mum for hatching.

Its always been a fantasy of mine to live by the sea. I decided to do beach decor in my home for summer just to pretend, so all the nautical items in the stores are a real treat to view.

@DonnaDavisArt 3 года назад

That's lovely @Amy Jones and why not? I suppose someone could live in a highrise in the city and still have a 'beach side' apartment with fun accessories and some 'wave sounds' playing sometimes our imagination is a great tool in helping us escape. :) And now you can visit the sea in my vlogs; thanks for stopping by.

I'm ready to go again, Donna. Does Mr Davis like to thrift, junk shops? There's a lovely Temple mantel clock. A lovely chocolate cake laid on one of those blue plates and pearl handled forks, with some hot tea... doesn't that sound wonderful?

@pattywest1 3 года назад

My being a Navy Hospital Corps Chief (nurse) of 24 years, the sounds of the sea birds & water & crunch of the shells is such music to my ears. Your home must be so inspiring for your art.

@DonnaDavisArt 3 года назад

Wow @Patty West thank you for being a nurse, the unsung heros for sure. I'm gald you like it, and it's so true it is very inspiring round here. Even when I'm watching it back to edit my videos and I hear the sea and birds and crunch of shells, even tho it's going on right outside my window, it still soothes me, so I hope it does for my viewers and glad to hear it does. Thanks again for stopping by.

⚓ Thank you for your service, esp. as a nurse. Both my dad and his father served in the Navy. They shared many interesting stories with us! ☮💛🌼

@curtischildress9580 3 года назад

We had guineas with our chickens back in the day. I think I'd rather have had your much quieter quail! Guineas make great watchdogs and alarm themselves and everyone else about foxes and coyotes crossing the property. Needless to say we lost many chickens and guineas to both fox and coyote. We also ate guinea eggs which are bigger than quail. We lived way back in the mountains so all food was valuable along with our garden. It's heartwarming to know that you're keeping chickens and quail. You are an earth mother in life and art. ...Also...THANKS A MILLION for taking us to the great thrift/antique shop! That place was chocked full of beautiful pieces with some at impressively low prices. Yes. I would've bought a thing or ten!!! I am much into Victorian and just anything that feels right. My mother was "into" Victorian and my grandmother and great grandmother...though the 2 elder women weren't really "into" Victorian...they just owned it. ...Your locale where you live offers much as a community and so much more as a place of contemplative beautiful seaside nature...complete with forest and meadow retreats. How fortunate you are to wake each day to your home. Lucky you!!! ...How fortunate I am to wake to my homes; home place in the rich lush mountains, and my home here close to town. ...Your Autumn there looks lovely. Enjoy this wondrous approach to a winter's wonderland by the sea.

@DonnaDavisArt 3 года назад

I've come so close to getting guinea hens, but the sound is loud and I can't really free range either as the fox and coyote will have them. I still need to go back and see if they have that screen. We are lucky to live in beautiful places and I can imagine how wonderful your mountains must be. Hope you are well today @Curtiss Childress

@DonnaDavisArt 3 года назад

Ha ha this is a fun one @Natasha I was so excited that a follower actually called the other antique shop I filmed and had them send her a thing I shared. It made me so happy to know I helped the business and the person was able to shop at a type of antique shop she doesn't have in her own area :) The power of the internet I guess :)

@carolking6355 3 года назад

That was such a delightful walk. I loved the colours of the grasses contrasting with the sea. I’m sure the scents of salt water and grass must be lovely.. Also I have never had a Quails egg. Not even sure we have quails in New Zealand. We probably have, I just haven’t seen any. I live in the country not far from the sea. You would find it very beautiful I think.

@DonnaDavisArt 3 года назад

Glad you enjoyed it @carol King and if you can get some quail's eggs, at a whole food or health food store, they are quite yummy. They have a bigger yolk to albumen ration, tho I have litle scissors to open mine, as it makes them easier. They lay so profusely , these little birds :) Oh I bet I would LOVE New Zealand and always wanted to visit, but I'm not much for long plane rides so I never put it on the 'to do' list, now with no travel sort of regretting that, but you never know, one day perhaps.

@madelinestuart8827 3 года назад

The items in your local thrift shops are so beautiful! I haven't seen anything like that in the shops out here in California. I loved seeing how the beach grass is changing colors.

@DonnaDavisArt 3 года назад

Oh, really @Madeline S. I just assumed California would have all sorts of those types of things, though I've never been, can you believe it? My husbands brother lived there for years and he's been, but I've never made out there.We're pretty lucky with the amount of thrift/chairty/antique shops round here and also auction houses too (if they can ever open again) :/

@madelinestuart8827 3 года назад

@@DonnaDavisArt The explanation that I have heard a few times is that when people migrated out to California, they only had room for the necessities, and therefore couldn't bring many furniture pieces. I drool every time I see the beautiful "little" round tea table that you have used in your videos. Hopefully someday soon I will be able to travel back East again (I was born and raised on Long Island, NY) and do some antiquing......and drive back to CA in a van!

@carnation6827 3 года назад

Hi Donna😊The quails are so precious! What fun noises they make. How beautiful was that chair set?! I don’t think I would have been able to resist.☺️ Great walk as well. I love seeing the burnt autumnal colors. They’re indeed my favorite.

@DonnaDavisArt 3 года назад

I know @Phillip Nixon not sure why I didn't just buy it. I regretted it when I was editing this video, but I am going to go back and if it's there I'm nabbing it! I JUST made it to Michael's, as you saw, but I was out filming for my Sunday vlog and just had made my pot of tea and sat down and saw the notification! I don't think Michael has a set schedule, does he? As it seems his randomly pop up for me, but then again I just might be so busy that I'm not paying attention and he is always posting on the same day. I'm rather excited for Sunday Premier tho I hope I haven't oversold it. It's simply going to be one of my 'normal' videos but with a sort of fun surprise-ish? Well, it'll be interesting. And I've just found out that I can now monetize my videos, which I thought you had to have 10,000 followers for? So, I am debating if and when to turn on adverts as I would obviously LOVE to get any pennies to put right back into Bunny Hall and ALL the projects, but not sure if I should wait until I have more followers? Opinions? Here I am , rather cocky, saying 'when' I'll have more followers. Now , that is just tempting Fate, I don't want to get 'too big for my breeches' as the local vernacular goes. See you on Sunday!

@philn9830 3 года назад

@@DonnaDavisArt glad you're going back for the screen it is rather lovely. Thats fantastic news about being able to monetize your videos. I think every little helps so go for it, we all understand how it helps, maybe reach out to Stephanie via Nati for a view?

@teresacarle294 3 года назад

🤔Not a huge fan of pattern in general, but I did like that room divider. It would make a pleasant backdrop for your videos too. Dream about a similar one that I can wallpaper differently on each side -- & flip it around 1×/year for variety. 🎉Congrats that you can monetize💰. Tend only to watch ads for channels I regularly follow. Feel it is the least I can do to support their efforts. Not one for premiers, but I wish you success with yours. Too many live concerts & online events to keep track of these days. The different time⏰zones only complicate matters for me. 📺Perfectly happy to binge watch more than one at a time when they pop up. 🏖You have an amazing coastline. 💙Love the diversity of weather & tides on top of that lush vegetation & birdsong. Wanderers paradise. Quite a departure from greater LA beachside🌊. Appreciate your strolls.

Lovely & darling is so much a hallmark of your videos, and part of the draw for your viewers and myself 🤓. Another unasked for opinion- that cupboard for 150.00 in the first shop has the charm of less depth. Well, enjoyed the Friday interlude with the artist and her quail. Elizabeth

@DonnaDavisArt 3 года назад

Ha ha @Elizabeth Booth it might have to just be my 'catch phrase' as it's a habit I just can't seem to break. Do you mean you liked the little 150 cabinet or no? I thought it was sweet, but wasn't quite worth it to me. I'm so glad you enjoyed yourself and the quail, they are little darlings :) See you next time.

Hi Donna. Thanks for the thrift shop trip. You just show glimpses of the oil lamps just to tease me. 😁🤐 One of my pet hates is pastel painted furniture. I just feel like using it for firewood. Great to get another nice walk on the beach. I will try to get to the premier on Sunday if I can. regards from the UK

@DonnaDavisArt 3 года назад

ha ha, Yes I thought of that when I saw them @Gary C as I thought, "I know one of my followers collects these' I love them to and have a few about tho ours are often used during Winter when we get power outtages :) I used to dislike painted furniture years ago and then I actually worked with a friend who owned an antique shop and she was really into the painted furniture that became popular on the Cape in the 50's based on the folk painting in America and I sort of got hooked. But, we all have different tastes, thank goodness, otherwise it'd be a boring old world, eh?

We used to have an Amazing GoodWill near us, but they sold the building out from under them, so sad to see them go, but we also have like Church Charity shops that are a bit cheaper still and we have ONE good will left on Cape, but these are Thrift and Antique shops. We have many that run the gambit from just some junk all the way up to very high priced specific pieces, like 18th century things. We're pretty lucky for the amount of them we have in our area, tho I hope they can survive as the lockdown has really hurt a lot of small business, but what can you do?

Between inheritance & my own collection there was a lot to downsize when we decided to sell. The property was in a lower socio-economic area. Word spread quickly that I was liquidating. Left stuff heading toward charity on a side yard that you couldn't see from street. It was satisfying to see things go to a good home vs being hassled by 🕵️‍♂️greedy resellers.

Are the quails the ones you hatched? The colours are beautiful on the beach.

@DonnaDavisArt 3 года назад

Yes! @maria kirk they are. And they were delivered in the post from the South, so was happy to get any. I set aver 60 eggs and got 18 tho now I'm going to set some more from these birds now that they are laying and I know they are fertile as I've eat many of them (the eggs not the quail haha) They are adorable and so sweet and trusting.

Another great Thrift shop. The chairs looked amazing, would they do a lay away plan at the store? The water and the beach walk was a joy and I think I heard some Canada geese flying over in preparation for their migration to warmer places. I will look forward to seeing you on Sunday. Thanks Donna🙏🏻

@DonnaDavisArt 3 года назад

@DonnaDavisArt 3 года назад

@Peggy G I know! I'm going to next week, too busy this weekend, but if it's there I'm nabbing it. I dont' know why I didn't just buy it, but I'm trying very hard to not over spend, the world being what it is and all. I walk average about 2-3 miles but when it cools down more I USED to shoot for 5 miles in the morning, but I'm much busier now filming as well as everything else, but luckily I can take the camera along with me :) Yes that grass that grows in the sea on the edge, I call it Switch grass not sure what it's latin name is, always goes bronze with the leaves and then come Winter it dies back. When it grows back in Spring its vibrant yellow green. Thanks for stopping by. Maybe I'll see you Sunday on my premier?

@kerrypitt9789 3 года назад

Another Question if you have time. Are your quail for the eggs? I have never found them to buy so how are they used? They sure have a big voice!!!!

@DonnaDavisArt 3 года назад

Yes they are for eggs, and pets and art inspiration LOL. I ordered the original eggs online and then hatched them myself. I really like the taste of them they have a high yolk ration and they are also fun to use in projects. I might be doing something fun with the eggs for Christmas, we'll see if it works. Thanks for stopping by @Kerry Pitt

@chattykathie7129 3 года назад

These stores are more like our flea markets not really what I’d call a thrift stores. Do they have Salvation Army kind of stores?

@DonnaDavisArt 3 года назад

We have flea markets as well, which I can share one day when I go back, but our Flea markets are much more 'junky' if that's the word. Still you can find good fun old things, but it'll be a haphazard clutter of old dishes mixed with something from the 80's and such. We do have salvation army we lost a nice one recently but there is also a good one in Hyannis. It's much more clothing with only a few things of housewares and such. I think because we have SO many antique/thrift/vintage shops our Salvation Army mainly deals with cloths and just some kitchen things.

@olainfree905 3 года назад

Are quail the same as bobwhites? Or are the latter a different bird altogether?

@DonnaDavisArt 3 года назад

Bobwhite are a type of quail and we have those naturally in my area and I have also raised them, but these are Coturnix quail. They are more domesticated and a bit larger than a bobwhite. I also find them much more docile and happier in containment. My Una goes outside with me and I have no fear of her 'taking off' a Bobwhite might simply fly away :) But both are lovely to keep and easy to hatch.

@susantaylor8507 3 года назад

@valeryc2001 3 года назад

How do u eat the tiny eggs

@DonnaDavisArt 3 года назад

Well, We have special little scissors, I'll show you in a video sometime, and we snip off the type and then you can fry them or mix them and I also boil them and peel them or to pickle and preserve. They have a high yolk to albumen ration so they are rich and delicious.

@texasthistle 3 года назад

Give an overview on pickled eggs

@DonnaDavisArt 3 года назад

Maybe I'll make part of a vlog about it, tho often I just boil them and if I have a jar of gherkins/pickles in the fridge that is just about empty, I simply boil them peel them and pot them in that brine and they keep in the fridge for a few weeks like that. But you can also properly do it with homemade brine and spices as you would canning pickles. They're the perfect little bite size treat. Thanks for stopping by @Joyce Banks

@kerrypitt9789 3 года назад

Donna prices here are ridiculous. You looked at a corner cabinet in a shop for $150? Okay we'll overestimate the difference between our money and say $200 Canadian. So you would be hard pressed to buy that cabinet here for $400 Canadian. At least here in Alberta. Where I grew up on Vancouver Island it may be different, but I don't think by much and our thrift shops are rubbish compared to yours. My Brook Trout came from Nova Scotia, I still paid a lot even with a hefty discount. I need to come shopping there M'Lady. Loving your videos. I would rather call them shows if you don't mind.

Sometimes prices are very good, it was only out of my budget as I'm trying to save so we can do a reno and such, a roof before a corner cabinet haha.

Congratulations, you've got ads! (I'm sure this is the only time I'll express pleasure in relation to advertisements) Your quail remind me of the time a weirdo landlord who lived in our flat with us appeared with a cage of quail chicks and said he was going to raise them in the kitchen...to eat! My other flatmate and I staged a daring rescue - she and her boyfriend took them away to a wildlife sanctuary when he was away at the weekend, I provided the alibi that they'd died on us. Hence in my Twitter bio I refer to myself as...Quailnapper!

@DonnaDavisArt 3 года назад

Well, firstly @LaReynedEpee thank you for the advert excitement! I only found out recently that it was 1000 subs that let you do it, I thought it was 10000 haha. I wasn't sure if I should, so I put on the most basic ads, but I'll take any pennies I can get as this house needs SO MUCH WORK Lol. That is hilarious about the quail Mine are for eggs and pets, they are really sweet. I've thought of raising some to let go, but they are SO friendly they'd get eaten in a second, they'd probably walk up to a fox just to give a 'how'd ya do' LOL. They will be the models for the American Cousins when I sketch them for the 'visit to Lalande' :) Hopefully I'll see you tomorrow at my premier if not I'll see you at Lalande!

They would go about their normal business, but I swear they knew the exact moment when you pulled out a 📷camera😔. 💝Love our variety of local wildlife. SoCal is home to over 500 species of birds & 30 kinds of raptors. 🦉We do have a big population of owls, but we hear 'em more than we see 'em at night. 🦅We have a regular kettle of kites, hawks, falcon & eagles that fly over our neighborhood by day.
